Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Although others did not bring as much water as Anron, they brought some back at least, and planted a small amount of land. Although it was not as large as the previous use of river water, it was able to plant something. It was better than the bare land in the north, which was thousands of miles away and had no water at all. Be better.

Northern cities have long had water restrictions, and the water limit is very small. It is only enough for drinking, and it is enough for washing and bathing. There is no extra water for growing crops.

However, the north is not completely desperate - officials have begun piloting desalination technology in the north.

There was seawater desalination technology in the past, but the cost was high, and the water production was naturally not as much as pumping water directly from the river. In addition, there were still some problems with the water quality. Now we are at the end of the world, whether it is high cost, low output, or even water quality. It is no longer a problem. After all, if there is some water, the problem of drinking water for the people must be solved.

So now many cities in the north, especially large cities, are already drinking desalinated seawater.

Although it is said that the quality of water is not as good as the fresh water in the past, and long-term consumption is not good for human health, but... it is good to have water to drink now. Those who want to be particular about it cannot be so. After all, drinking it for a long time may not be good, but if you don't drink it, I'm going to die in seven days. It's your choice.

The water problem is a little better in the south, including Q City, but the value of houses and cars is depreciating.

In the past, the value of houses in the city was depreciating because some people who did not have loans had to sell their houses at low prices in order to have money to buy food or stock up on goods. Now, because of the cheap grain supplied by the state, people who buy and sell their houses There are far fewer people, so now house prices have risen again. After all, I am really short of money. If I sell a few kilograms of affordable grain, I will have money to use - I just sell the grain and I have to tighten my belt to survive.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuanyuan told An Ran: "It's a pity that my family has no money. Otherwise, the house prices fell so hard before. If I bought one or two houses, I would make a lot of money. Now it's better. Not only did the prices not fall, but they also made a lot of money." It’s gone up a lot, it’s been a loss, it’s been a loss.”

An Ran nodded "Yes", but she was thinking in her heart, don't worry, if you want to buy it, you will have another chance in the future. When the country runs out of affordable grain, the price of grain outside has skyrocketed, and people will still buy food for stuttering. Someone will sell the house at a low price, and it will not be too late to buy it then - and this is the reason why An Ran has not bought a house for the time being, because she is still waiting for the opportunity.

But if she buys it, she won't buy a house in Q city. The housing prices in this small 18th-tier city are probably not going to rise much even if the apocalypse ends and housing prices rebound. However, in first-tier cities, housing prices have fallen sharply. , once the apocalypse is over, house prices will definitely soar, so it is obvious where to buy a house.

That is, in such a chaotic time, traveling long distances and thousands of miles away to buy a house is a big risk.

However, there is nothing in the world without risks. In order to give Miaomiao a future with no worries about food and clothing, she will have no choice but to take the risk and go to a first-tier city.

However, it was difficult for her to say that house prices would fall sharply in the future. After all, it was difficult to explain how she knew about this situation. So she could only listen to Zhang Yuanyuan's regrets and couldn't say anything. Anyway, she would know by then. .

The New Year soon passed and the new semester began. An Ran sent Miaomiao to another better school that she had previously favored.

After Ding Tao healed his legs, he found that there was no Miaomiao in the school, so he had to give it up and stop looking. After all, he had to go to work. He couldn't take leave and go to nearby kindergartens to look for her one by one. After work, the students were not there. Inside, unless you ask those schools for student rosters, which school will give it to you for no reason? After all, it involves privacy and is unrealistic, so Ding Tao has no choice but to give it to him.

In fact, if he really wanted to find her, he could still find her, but the last time he wanted to talk to Miaomiao, he broke a bone and lay in bed for three or four months, which made him scared and felt that it was a bit evil. , simply stop looking for it. Anyway, now the country has cheap grain for sale. He has an iron rice bowl job, has money to buy grain, and doesn’t have to worry about running out of food, so he won’t look for it for now - he will have a real life later. If you can't go down anymore, it's not too late to look for it. After all, the Li family has so much food, it is estimated that they can last for a long time.

Since Ding Tao found Miaomiao, Anran has been keeping an eye on him. Now that he is well and can go to the ground, he is no longer looking for Miaomiao, so he feels relieved and does not continue to cause trouble for Ding Tao.

So it was a shame that Ding Tao was honest, otherwise it would probably not be as simple as a broken leg after a fall.

As time went by, the water in the Q River became less and less, so after the limited time limit, the city once again limited the amount. This time, the limited amount was only half of the original amount.

Originally, so much water was only enough for the most basic needs, and even a little luxury was not enough. Now it is only half, and even the basic needs cannot be met.

Those who have hometowns in the countryside are better off. At worst, they can get water and go back to their hometowns. But those people who have no hometowns in the countryside and are originally from the city have nowhere to go. Now they are in trouble. In the end, they have no choice but to try their best not to Take a shower, don't do laundry, and save the water for eating and drinking to flush the toilet. After all, the toilet must be flushed, otherwise it will smell bad.

As for the water that was reduced by half, the water that An Ran took home was also reduced by half. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that the city had reduced the water by half. If she didn't reduce it, how could she use the water where it came from?

Although the amount of water An Ran brought home was reduced by half, Father Li and Mother Li, who now fully mastered the skills of water-saving farming, did not lose much land and planted a lot.

But Enron knows that reducing the limit by half is just the beginning. If it doesn't last for a month, it will be reduced by half again. Eventually there will be no water at all, and it will be a bit chaotic for a while.

Fortunately, when they were almost unable to survive, the city's seawater desalination plant started operating and provided the most basic drinking water, allowing people to survive.

In fact, at this moment, the desalination plant is already under construction, and it was also mentioned in the news. This is also the reason why everyone was a little panicked when the water was gone, but in the end there was no chaos, because everyone knew that the city was already building a desalination plant. I just don’t know when it will be activated, so I’m worried that I won’t be able to hold on, so I’m just anxious.

The desalination plant has been under construction for a long time. This is normal. After all, a plant cannot pop up overnight. There is always a process. Therefore, the city officials have long been aware that the Q River water will not be able to hold it any longer. At that time, the factory construction project was started.

After the factory is built, water must be available.

The advantage of having a river in the inland area of ​​Q City before has disappeared. Now, the seaside is the best place - for food, you can grow seawater rice, which is barely enough to eat; for drink, you can drink desalinated seawater.

As for Q City, the nearest sea is five hundred miles away. Even if you have the skills and no sea water, you can only watch.
