Chapter 204
Zhou Jianghai looked at his daughter, hesitated, and finally sighed.
Mu Mu also raised her little face: "Sister, take me with you next time. I am very good at archery now. If there are bad guys bullying you, I will help you beat them!"
This sentence made the whole family laugh.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and touched his little face: "Okay, I'll take you there next time."
Then he turned to his parents, thought for a moment, and said, "Dad, Mom, it's okay. We gained a lot from this trip. Let's exchange some air-conditioned clothes for them later, and then we can go out and have a look together."
With her protection, safety along the way will not be a problem.
There are also two RVs in the space, so sleeping at night won’t be too uncomfortable.
Zhou Jianghai nodded first: "Okay, we'll follow you to see the outside world when the time comes. The apocalypse has been going on for over a year, and your dad and I have been stuck at home for over a year, and we're getting pretty bored!"
Zhong Tiyun glared at him secretly.
Zhou Shuwan took a good shower, changed into pajamas and came out refreshed.
Zhong Tiyun went to cook, and Zhou Jianghai told her what had happened in the community in recent days.
It turned out that two days ago, the service hall had issued another recruitment notice, recruiting a group of young and strong people to build the base, especially those with technical skills such as maintenance, bricklaying, decoration, and electrician skills.
Zhou Jianghai said this with some excitement: "Wanwan, I see the scale of this is quite large, I guess it's about building an underground base. Do you think I should sign up?"
As he spoke, he glanced towards the kitchen, his eyes filled with resentment. "I wanted to sign up, but your mother insisted we wait for you to come back and analyze the pros and cons! What analysis? I asked Director Wu, and he said the nearest construction site is a new residential complex three miles away, and it only takes a few minutes to ride a bike there. We'll go with the main group then, so you don't have to worry about safety!"
Zhou Shuwan asked, "Dad, are we giving out air-conditioned clothes?"
Zhou Jianghai shook his head. "No, an air-conditioning suit costs so much, how can we give it to so many people? But I also inquired. The temperature is so high, so the working hours have changed. They are divided into two shifts. The morning shift is from 3:00 am to 10:00 am, and the evening shift is from 7:00 pm to 3:00 am. This just avoids the highest temperature during the day. And since we are working underground, we don't have to worry about the high temperature."
Zhong Tiyun was chopping vegetables when she heard the noise and came over. She looked disapproving and said, "You're only working at night. What about during the day? Can you get enough rest? This kind of work is not easy. I think you should just stay home and not cause trouble for your daughter!"
Zhou Jianghai looked at his daughter and said, "Wanwan, do you support Dad going?"
Zhou Shuwan thought for a moment and said, "If there's a suitable job, I can do it. Dad, I'll ask around first, so don't worry."
Zhou Jianghai smiled and nodded: "Okay, Dad will wait for your news."
Zhong Tiyun secretly gave Zhou Shuwan a wink.
When Zhou Jianghai went upstairs to feed the chickens, he pulled Zhou Shuwan into the kitchen and whispered to her.
Originally, the Zhou family only turned on the air conditioners in the master bedroom and kitchen, but when they thought about the flock of chickens they had raised with great difficulty, they felt it would be a pity to let them die like this.
So, the air conditioner in the master bedroom on the seventh floor was turned on, and several hydroponic boxes were moved in.
These hydroponic boxes grow some of the fastest-growing vegetables. By maintaining the temperature and taking care of them every day, we can ensure that we can eat fresh vegetables every day.
It’s just that the temperature is probably still too hot, the chickens haven’t laid eggs in the past few days.
After Zhou Jianghai went upstairs, he took out the automatic feeder again and prepared to experiment again.
When they went to Cumulus Mountain for a few days, they used an automatic feeder, but the chicks were still small at that time, so they didn't need to feed too much.
There are more than a dozen hens now, and they all eat a lot, so they need to be fed more carefully.
He plans to conduct an experiment soon to see how much food to put into the machine each time.
In the kitchen downstairs, Zhong Tiyun still didn't agree with letting Zhou Jianghai sign up for the job.
Zhou Shuwan comforted her, "Mom, Dad just can't stay at home and wants to go out and work, and I support him. People tend to get depressed when they stay at home for too long with nothing to do. But I'll ask Director Wu first if we can arrange for my dad to be a squad leader or something like that. He doesn't have to work hard, and he can still go out and relax, which is pretty good!"
Zhong Tiyun thought about it and nodded: "It's fine if you don't work hard."
She paused, then asked her daughter, "Wanwan, can you find me a job that doesn't require much physical effort? I'll do it too!"
Her farming business came to a temporary halt, so she had to go out and find work.
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help laughing.
The older generation can’t rest. Whenever they get a chance, they want to go out to work and make money!
She really went to see Director Wu, stated her demands, and then, while no one was paying attention, secretly handed Director Wu two boxes of cigarettes.
Director Wu is a heavy smoker. Where can you buy cigarettes now? He only gets one or two boxes from time to time when someone asks him to do something for you.
Among them, the cigarettes sent by Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were of particularly high quality.
He already had a good impression of the Zhou family, and he also wanted to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Shuwan, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, don't worry, Shuwan. I'll ask around later. There are a lot of people needed this time, and your father has been a team leader, so arranging one shouldn't be a problem."
Zhou Shuwan thanked him repeatedly and asked about the cactus.
Director Wu was also worried. He frowned and sighed, "I asked about the situation a while ago. Mayor Lu is also interested in planting this, but we are in the Central Plains, where cacti don't grow. We have to apply to the higher authorities one level at a time. I don't know when we will have extra seeds!"
Zhou Shuwan didn't say anything.
It was her mistake.
When preparing supplies, I completely forgot about the cactus. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a dilemma now if I had purchased a batch of cacti or cactus seeds!
