The apocalypse is coming, and the whole family, with hundreds of billions of supplies in hand, has g
Chapter 71 Pei Jize, can you talk about the human seal?
As soon as I woke up and walked away, someone came knocking on the back door.
It was said that one of their family members would go out to patrol.
There is also someone from the Ye Zhi family.
Su Mian looked at Ye Tangqing's elegant, thin and frail appearance, and directly told him to rest at home, and went out in his stead.
Their family could only let Pei Jize work harder.
"Sorry, I was tired last night, so I have to ask you to go out on patrol today!"
Su Mian said embarrassedly on the way.
Just as Pei Jize was about to say it was okay, the two people who came to call them suddenly turned back and gave them an ambiguous smile.
The smiling Su Mian was confused for a while, but Pei Ji was the first to react.
He coughed awkwardly and said loudly on purpose: "I'm staying at your house. I should share the work in front of and behind the house. I can't live and eat for free!"
"How can you live and eat for free..." Su Mian subconsciously wanted to retort, but she suddenly woke up in the middle of the sentence.
Her pretty face turned red, she pulled off her hat and walked quickly to the front.
Patrolling is also very simple. There are about a hundred families living in the community. Some families only have an old couple living there and no one comes out, so there are only forty or fifty young people who can come out to patrol.
Divided into three shifts, there are only a dozen people in each shift.
The gate is the most important, so four people are allowed to leave, and the others can just go around the community and check it after an hour.
Although the sudden blizzard brings inconvenience to life, it also gives them an extra layer of natural protection.
The snow is thigh-deep, and if it continues to fall, it will probably be deep enough for one person, or even deeper.
At that time, no matter whether you are a human, a ghost, or a zombie, you will be unable to move even an inch.
Even if there are those who are not afraid of death, it is difficult to sneak in quietly, one step at a time.
When there is no need to patrol, everyone uses shovels to shovel snow to ensure that there is a normal driving channel in the community.
There is also garbage in the community. For the sake of long-term peace and stability, the president proposed that someone be assigned to pull the garbage from the community to the wasteland outside the community every day.
That's the good thing about the countryside. It's vast and sparsely populated, so it's not that inconvenient.
Whoever is willing to do this work, each family in the community will pool money to pay the salary based on the population. If not, each family will take turns.
Fortunately, there was someone who was willing. It was an uncle named Su Laohai who was in his fifties. He had nothing to do, so he took over the job.
But he doesn't want money. He wants to exchange his salary for the same proportion of rice or vegetables.
Originally, the daily salary was one hundred yuan, and one hundred yuan could buy twenty kilograms of rice. He didn't want twenty kilograms, but only five kilograms.
If you don't give rice, you can give vegetables. Five pounds of rice is worth five radishes, five potatoes, two taels of dried mushrooms, or something else.
Anyway, give them whatever you can, so that the old couple can survive and save a little bit of food every day.
He didn't take too much, and everyone agreed that he was having a hard time.
When everyone was stocking up on goods before, there was no movement at his house. It wasn't that he was unhappy, but he really didn't have the extra money to stock up.
There is a sick old woman at home. He can't go anywhere, can't make money, and can't go out to stock up on goods.
In the good old days, my son could send a thousand handfuls of two thousand yuan every month, and my daughter could buy something and give it as a gift every month.
But now these things suddenly happened, the son's money was cut off, and the daughter did not dare to go back to her parents' home. The old couple's life suddenly became difficult.
When Su Mian went on patrol, she happened to meet the uncle pulling the trash can outside the community.
He was humming a tune cheerfully on his face, and he looked very happy.
Su Mian looked at his back and had something to say to him, but she didn't know how to say it.
At present, everyone is still willing to use their little bit to pay him the so-called salary.
If you wait another month, no, maybe even half a month, some people may not be willing to pay this salary anymore.
He is getting paid every day for his work now, and he only has that little, what will he do in the future?
Pei Jize seemed to see through Su Mian's thoughts.
"Are you worried about his future?"
He suddenly turned around and looked at Pei Jize in disbelief.
"How did you know?"
Pei Jize's slander is all on his face. Is it difficult to guess?
He was slandering himself, but he didn't say it out loud. He just said: "When I came out, I heard your mother and Ye Zhi's mother say that two acres of the cornfield exchanged later belonged to his family, and we promised one acre. If you add two hundred catties of rice, four hundred catties will be enough for him!"
"That's good. This false stability won't last long. Once one family is unwilling, one after another will not be willing to pay this reward again."
"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, we will give him twenty kilograms at a time and let him come back after eating. This will also avoid the risk of him not being able to keep food!"
Speaking of this, Su Mian suddenly looked sad.
"Pei Jize, are we too impulsive to exchange rice for corn? What if people find out and they think we have hoarded a lot of rice? What if we help people out of kindness and cause trouble?"
"I don't think so. The house is such a big place. They should know that there is no more stock in the house after all the rice has been cashed out. Now that the corn has disappeared, we are safe!"
"Well, what you said makes sense!"
Su Mian looked up at the heavy snow falling all over the sky, not knowing when the snow would stop.
People's hearts are already in panic, and now that we've been hit by this snow disaster, no one knows what it will be like in the future.
Su Mian recalled what she had said to Ye Zhi in Bincheng.
"Pei Jize, can I ask you a question?"
"Ok!"
After knowing Su Mian for so long, it was the first time that Pei Jize saw her looking so worried.
"How do you think we should get along in the apocalypse? We have space and supplies. We can have enough food and clothing when we close the door. But with so many supplies in hand, can we really turn a deaf ear to what's going on outside the window?
When we see people dying of hunger outside, can we really remain indifferent? But if we really take things out, based on what I saw and experienced in my last life, gratitude may not be there, but misfortunes will happen. What should we do? "
This problem has troubled Su Mian for a long time, especially when the more things she hoards, the more she struggles.
When she was first reborn, she swore to herself that she would only care about her family in this life and not care about the life or death of others. But today when she saw this old man taking out the garbage, her heart could no longer harden.
"Pei Jize, you have lived for thousands of years, tell me, there is a way to have both worlds!"
Looking down at Su Mian, Pei Ji had a momentary impulse and wanted to hug Su Mian.
Her frown in the snow was like a leaf suddenly falling on the calm water, making waves in the stagnant water.
"There is no perfect method in the world, just because there is no need for a perfect method in this world. The human heart is speechless, neither understandable nor confused, neither angry nor delusional. There is no cause or effect, and the cause and effect are natural!"
"Pei Jize..." Su Mian's loneliness became even more intense.
"Amian..."
"Pei Jize, can you speak human language?"
"?" After a slight embarrassment, Pei Ji raised his hand to pluck the snow flakes from her hair and said with a smile, "Follow your heart!"
