Chapter 288
Although Xiao Xiao had adjusted her mentality, she still couldn't help feeling bitter and could only barely control herself.
After the wedding, Zhou Jianghai rushed out to find a job.
The temperature has remained above 20 degrees Celsius for more than three months now, and many shops outside have reopened for business, including some factories.
However, nowadays these stores only sell the simplest supplies, such as compressed biscuits, canned food, clothes, etc.
The two factories also produce compressed biscuits and canned meat.
Several men in the community went to work in a compressed biscuit factory together. When Zhou Jianghai heard about it, he couldn't help it and went home and said that he also wanted to find a job.
Zhong Tiyun has already found a job, growing vegetables in a greenhouse.
Originally, she refused the job during the high temperature period, and her position was taken by someone else.
But after all, she has the skills, and she has a capable daughter and son-in-law behind her.
Therefore, Director Wu was very considerate. When the vegetable greenhouse was rebuilt, Zhong Tiyun came to his door, handed him a bottle of white wine, and then took up her post with honor.
Moreover, the planting greenhouses are no longer located on the upper floors of the property, but now occupy the only and largest basketball court in the community.
This is where everyone in the community goes for a cool walk in the evening.
The area is much larger than the roof of the property building, but considering the acid rain that may come at any time, Director Wu decided to build a brick house on the basketball court.
Just build the simplest brick house with a roof and walls, but it doesn't have to be as airtight as a house, as long as it can withstand acid rain.
So, in the past two months, brick houses were being built in the community.
The bricks they used were all from the frame buildings that were destroyed and collapsed by the tsunami. They picked up the broken bricks, scraped off the cement on both sides, and they could be used as new ones.
This way, expenses can also be minimized.
The property was very poor, and the labor they used was all for nothing. They recorded the number of days each person worked, and when the grain they planted was unearthed, they would use the grain to pay for their labor.
So, there is no shortage of manpower.
Zhou Jianghai went there for a few days and heard that some people went to factories outside, so he also wanted to go there.
He and Zhong Tiyun were very practical. Although Zhou Shuwan had stockpiled a lot of supplies in his space, people couldn't just stay at home and eat and drink. The supplies would run out one day. Now was the time when they were capable, so they had to go out to work and earn more so that they could feel more secure in the future.
Zhou Shuwan knew what her father was thinking, so she asked, "Dad, didn't you see what Director Wu was planning?"
Zhou Jianghai was stunned.
Zhou Shuwan said, "I went to the construction site the other day and saw that there was a large pigpen there."
"He wants to raise pigs? But where can we find piglets nowadays?" Zhou Jianghai wondered.
Zhou Shuwan pointed to the top of his head and smiled: "Dad, although we don't have piglets now, we do have chicks! I guess Director Wu wants to exchange some eggs for us to hatch chicks, and then raise chickens on a large scale!"
Zhou Jianghai was surprised, then sighed, "Director Wu, I really admire him. No matter what he does, he truly cares about our community!"
"Yeah, he's smart. Whether it's building a vegetable greenhouse or planting cacti, he's always thinking ahead of others! If he raises chickens in the future, won't the salary be higher?"
Zhong Tiyun was also very happy.
Now both they and the Qi family’s chickens are laying eggs normally, and they can still give away some eggs.
Moreover, it is better for everyone to have it than for only they to have it. This way, both families will be safe and will not attract the jealousy and bad intentions of outsiders.
Zhou Shuwan nodded. "I also support our community's self-sufficiency. So, Dad, not only you, but also Grandma Pang, don't have to go out to find a job. Just help the community build a chicken farm."
Uncle Zhong, my mother, and Aunt Zhong grow grains and vegetables. The leaves can be used to feed chickens, and the chicken excrement can be used as fertilizer. It's a virtuous cycle!
"Okay, Dahai, then don't rush out to find a job. Just like me, it's great to work right next to home! It's close to home, safe, and the salary is not low!"
Zhou Jianghai nodded repeatedly, then hesitated: "Should I ask Director Wu proactively or wait until they come up and talk about raising chickens..."
Zhou Shuwan was at a loss for words: "Dad, you're too proactive. Now we have to wait for Director Wu and the others to come to us so we can make our demands."
Zhou Jianghai suddenly realized and scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed: "Look at me, I'm so stupid, so stupid!"
Since the weather was suitable, Zhou Shuwan decided to hatch another batch of chicks for her family. She also stored fertilized goose eggs so that she could let the geese guard the house in the future.
So she also put a few goose eggs under the mother hen's belly.
She didn't use an incubator, but instead found a mother hen that was eager to do the task.
When Qi Mingyu came to find her, she was squatting there preparing special meals for the mother hen.
Qi Mingyu came over with a smile: "Mu Mu said you were on the rooftop, so I guessed you must be doing this."
Zhou Shuwan looked back at him with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Although she had a simple wedding with Qi Mingyu, she did not move completely into the Qi family.
Qi Mingyu didn't mind. The two of them would stay at Qi's house for two days and at Zhou's house for a few days every now and then.
Anyway, they all lived on the sixth floor, and there were two iron doors blocking the entrance to the corridor.
The two companies can merge into one.
Now they are like in an underground safe house, eating from the same pot.
One day after his marriage, Qi Mingyu brought back several large black bags filled with steaming frozen meat.
Pork, pork chops, pig's trotters, beef, etc. It weighs more than 100 kilograms.
The other two bags were filled with fresh fruits.
There are seven or eight kinds of food, including strawberries, grapefruits, apples, grapes, etc.
Grandma Pang was very surprised. The first thing she did was to check around. Seeing that the doors and windows were closed, she hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yu, where did you get this? Why do you still have these now..."
Qi Mingyu whispered, "This was obtained by Wanwan and I through special channels. It cost a lot of supplies. We didn't have enough at home, so Wanwan and her parents paid for two-thirds of it."
Grandma Pang was stunned: "How can anyone still afford to stockpile these fruits?"
"Grandma, no matter what time, the privileged class will never worry about these basic survival supplies! We just need to improve our lives occasionally."
"Okay. Xiaoyu, since the Zhou family paid the lion's share, you should let Wanwan take it back to them. Why did you take it all back to ours? You're a son-in-law, you can't take advantage of your father-in-law like this!"
Qi Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to explain: "Wanwan has already taken theirs back. This is one third of it."
"That's not bad." Grandma Pang was relieved. After thinking for a while, she said, "I think Wanwan is also the pillar of her family. She can't become estranged from her family just because she's with you."
