Chapter 81: The Treasure Of Nursery Rhymes (Additional Update)
The refugees were immediately happy when they heard this. Before the end of the world, none of them would have looked down on the 50-point fruit.
After all, 50 points could only be exchanged for an apple or a banana.
But now they haven't eaten fruit for a long time.
And it's okay for the formal residents in the shelter, but it's not so easy for them, the refugees, to earn 50 points.
Not only did they get points for working overtime today, but the director also rewarded them with 50 points at a time, so they were naturally very happy.
…
Zhang Wen returned to the small villa, and Tang Xin took Liu Qianqian and Xiao Tongyao to play on the sofa.
Li Xue was also there today, after all, she was injured and needed to rest.
Seeing Zhang Wen come in, Li Xue's face flashed a rare blush, and she was even more radiant.
"Uncle Director, you're back, let me show you my baby."
When Xiao Tongyao saw Zhang Wen, she immediately ran over affectionately and took Zhang Wen's hand and ran away.
"Baby?" Zhang Wen followed with a curious look on his face.
Soon, Xiao Tongyao's baby appeared in front of Zhang Wen.
It turned out to be a small fish tank with a small goldfish in it.
"Ah, my fish is dead." Before Zhang Wen could see clearly, Xiao Tongyao started crying.
Zhang Wen looked and saw that the fish in the small fish tank did not seem to move.
Zhang Wen touched it with his hand, and it was so stiff.
There was no need to rescue it.
Tang Xin and the others came over after hearing the noise, and Tang Xin immediately hugged Xiao Tongyao to comfort her.
Li Xue came up and said to Zhang Wen: "This was found by Yuan Jing in a resident's house today. At that time, the little fish was a little dying. Xiao Tongyao liked it very much and kept talking about waiting for you to come back to see it."
Looking at Xiao Tongyao crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Zhang Wen could understand her feelings a little.
In this doomsday, she had no children of the same age, and even very few living pets. Of course, she was happy to have a little goldfish to keep.
Not to mention her, even Tang Xin and other women actually valued the little fish.
Because it represents vitality, making the doomsday less depressing.
Suddenly thought of something.
"Okay, don't cry. Tomorrow, the director uncle will find you a big fish tank outside, and raise all kinds of beautiful fish in it, okay?"
Zhang Wen pinched the delicate face of the little Tong Yao and said.
The little Tong Yao was immediately attracted, "Uncle Director, really?"
"Of course, how could the director uncle lie to our little Tong Yao?" Zhang Wen said seriously.
"Uncle Director, you are the best." The little Tong Yao was very happy and immediately threw herself into Zhang Wen's arms.
Tang Xin rolled her eyes at Zhang Wen, thinking that Zhang Wen was trying to comfort the little Tong Yao, which would temporarily make the little Tong Yao not sad.
But it's not good.
But Tang Xin didn't say anything, after all, the little Tong Yao was still young, and maybe she would forget it later.
...
The canteen of the shelter at night.
The dining area for refugees.
All the refugees came back to eat one after another.
"Oh, Sun Yanan, do you have pickled mustard today?"
A woman who came in from behind brought her food to her friend and was surprised as soon as she sat down.
Sun Yanan picked up a piece of pickled mustard tuber, put it in her mouth, and said happily: "What's wrong with me having pickled mustard tuber? I redeemed it with my points. I never found that pickled mustard tuber is so delicious." The woman swallowed her saliva and said quickly: "Okay Yanan, give me some too. I want to eat something delicious now."
Sun Yanan said: "Oh, I'm really tired today, and my arms are a little sore."
The woman immediately understood, "Okay, at worst, I can press it for you when you get back."
Sun Yanan said: "Half an hour."
The woman snorted, "Then I want a pack of pickled mustard."
Sun Yanan rolled her eyes at her, "With your method, you still need another pack? Just half a pack, don't pull it down."
The woman pursed her lips, but had no choice but to nod.
The solution is that manpower is so worthless now.
This is because the two of them have a good relationship, otherwise others wouldn't bother her.
Although the director will open libraries, massage clubs and other entertainment and leisure places in the shelter.
But at this stage, apart from formal residents, refugees cannot afford to spend money.
Even if the refugees need a massage or something, they can just massage each other.
Sun Yanan picked up the mustard and gave half of it to the woman.
The woman immediately picked up one and put it in her mouth.
"It's delicious, Sun Yanan. How many points did you earn today? This pickled mustard seems to be 10 points per pack, right?"
the woman asked curiously.
Sun Yanan nodded, "A pack of pickled mustard is 10 points. The amount of tasks we completed in 8 hours today is 10 points, and then we will get 3 points for every hour of overtime."
The woman said: "That's okay. Although it's a bit tiring, you can still earn points in the future."
Sun Yanan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is more! The director saw our hard work and said that as long as we work 4 hours of overtime, we will be rewarded with 50 points of fruit."
The woman opened her mouth wide and said with envy: "Isn't it possible to earn more than 70 points a day? I want to go too."
Sun Yanan said: "There is definitely no chance this time. It is impossible to let everyone process the fence. We can only wait for a good task next time."
The woman said with envy: "Oh, I wish I had come in earlier, even one day early."
Sun Yanan said angrily: "I also want to come in earlier? Who doesn't want to come in earlier? If I came in earlier, I might be an official resident now, and I still care about a pack of pickled mustard."
…
at the same time.
Formal residents dining area.
Five young leaders, Zhang Ying, Wang Yue, Wang Ying, Liu Juan and Wang Yue, sat together to eat.
After all, shelters have hierarchies. Even though they may not have any airs yet, the majesty they naturally show at work will slowly be reflected in their lives.
Especially in the last days, the sense of class existence is still very strong just like in ancient times.
So for the sake of comfort, they usually sit at the same table when eating.
Several women were eating happily. After all, their food treatment was still very good. Although it was not as good as before the apocalypse, it was much better than that of the refugees.
In fact, most of the time, happiness does not depend on how good your life is now, but whether there is anyone who is worse off than you.
As the saying goes, people will die when comparing with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.
The women who had finished eating were preparing to leave.
Wang Yue waved her hand, "Everyone, wait a minute, I have something for you."
After speaking, he took out a few things from the small satchel on the side.
There are snacks and a piece of fruit for Zhang Ying.
There is a towel and a piece of fruit for Wang Ying.
There is also a set of underwear and snacks for Wang Yue.
Don't think, if you give these things before the end of the world, you might think it's a bit funny.
But post-apocalypse, especially in shelters, these things don’t come cheap.
It cost her a total of 280 points.
