Chapter Twenty-Six: Water Scarcity
Ay!
After listening for a while, Wang Tian sighed.
He looked at the door, and he could hear the conversation in the living room, as well as the little cousin who lived across from him.
The second uncle is not confused, although he is from the countryside, he has no great knowledge.
But the people in the countryside are small and shrewd, and there is no shortage in him.
The second aunt is the middle-aged silly white sweet who has everything on her face.
There is one to say, there is two to say, there are not so many fancy intestines.
Wang Tian was lying on the bed, and it was not even easy to say whether the second uncle deliberately said these words to him.
Of course.
The second uncle is also selfish, he treats him as a son before the end, if he can get together with his cousin, he will definitely support him with both hands.
Let's get the topic out of the corner today.
It's not like a temporary idea, I should have had this idea for a long time, but today's time is more ripe.
Wang Tian was on the bed.
For a while, some tossing and turning couldn't sleep.
The next day.
When Wang Tian got up, the dark circles under his eyes were very serious, and the whole person was a little listless.
There is also a cousin, she is young, seventeen years old, and she is more delicate than flowers.
In addition, it looks relatively white, and it looks like a red panda, which is indescribably cute.
Glancing at each other, Wang Tian and his cousin didn't speak, and they were a little embarrassed.
The second uncle sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, and greeted everyone like no one: "Let's wash our faces first, and we'll eat in a while." ”
"Residents, residents."
As he spoke, the sound of the radio sounded in the community.
"At eight o'clock in the morning, all residents are asked to send a representative to come to the property to collect their rations."
"The county's subsidy has come down, and this week, each household will receive a subsidy of five catties of rice and three catties of white flour."
Listening to the radio, the Wang family didn't react.
The second aunt even complained: "There are only eight catties of rice noodles in total, and it is still subsidized by one family, if there are four or five people, how can it be enough to eat?" ”
At the end of the day, adults have no vegetables, meat and eggs, and they have to get at least one pound just by relying on rice and white flour.
Modern people eat a small amount of food, or even don't eat, that is, there is a lot of oil and water in the dish, and they can eat enough food.
No oil and water, just rice.
Half a catty of rice and noodles a day, at most, he will not starve to death.
But that's it, based on a family of three, one person is half a catty of rice and noodles a day, and three people are one and a half catties.
How can I get ten catties of rice and noodles a week.
Eight catties, a family of two is about the same.
It's a family of three, four, or even five, so wait to starve.
"Did you notice?"
Wang Tian frowned: "There is still some food, eight catties of rice and noodles, and a family of three is enough to hang their lives, and they can barely survive starvation, water, but they didn't mention a word on the radio." ”
"I didn't mention it."
The second uncle also chimed in.
"There's no water in the county?"
Wang Tian and the others glanced at each other, and they all had a bad premonition.
You must know that grain is easy to store, even if the grain depot in the county is empty, the grain in major markets and grain and oil stores can allow the local people to last for two or three months.
Water is different.
It is inconvenient to store, especially if the reservoir is contaminated.
Water is consumed faster and less than food, which is also a normal phenomenon in society.
"Food is easy to manage, go outside to look for it, there is always it."
"The water is not good, the water outside is polluted, and people can't drink it at all."
"It's just going out to find it, a bucket or two of bottled water, a piece or two of beer and drinks, and it won't quench the thirst of the entire county."
Wang Tian's eyes were full of solemnity.
There are still a few people like him who go out every day, find something they lack, and are not afraid of danger in the wild.
Most people hide at home when they can, and they don't want to go to the dangerous wilderness at all.
Especially in a high-end community like Jinhua Community, which has always received relief from the county, Wang Tian suspects that the people in the community have never been to the wild at all.
Now, it's not the same as April.
At the beginning of April, the strong radiation outside turned into weak radiation, and many people went out in search of supplies.
The things that are close, easy to find, and easy to take have all been taken by these people.
The rest are farther away, more remote, and more dangerous villages, and it may be difficult for the strong men to find them by these big men in Jinhua Community.
"Second uncle, let's go to the property in a while, and take a look at the situation by the way."
Wang Tian said, and looked at the second aunt again: "Auntie, after my second uncle and I go out, you lock the door."
From now on, no matter whether it is a stranger or an acquaintance, as long as my second uncle and I are not at home, no one can open the door.
Turn back, I'll go outside to get some iron railings or something, the welding machine property has it, and two more guardrails are added inside and outside the door, and safety should be put first. ”
People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.
There are some things that cannot be solved again, and we must learn to prevent them before they happen.
The residents in the Jinhua community are either rich or employees in the system.
The water here cannot be supplied on time, so you can imagine how short the water in the county is.
After breakfast.
At eight o'clock, Wang Tian and his second uncle went to the property.
By the time they arrived, the property was already crowded.
Before the people arrived, they heard everyone shouting: "Why do we only have food and water, how can we live without water?" ”
"There is no water in the county now, and our Jinhua community, twelve buildings, really can't supply it."
"The food is here, everyone gets the real estate certificate to receive the food, and the water problem has to be solved by yourself."
"It's hard in the county now, it's very difficult, there's no water in the county, I can't conjure water for you, right?"
Zhao Gongwen wore a suit and spoke loudly with a loudspeaker.
Around him, there are heavily armed guards, as well as the community security of the property itself.
The two sides worked together to maintain order, and with the police sent down by the county, even if the residents were emotional, they did not dare to do it directly.
"So what should we do, we are dying of thirst without water?"
The residents of Jinhua Community are used to being pampered, and their first thought is definitely not to go to the wild to find water.
Zhao Gongwen also knew the temperament of this group of people, and said loudly: "The radiation is fading, everyone can bear it again, and in the future, the water in the reservoir will definitely be drinkable."
Even now, it's okay to drink it in small amounts, and the radiation isn't as scary as everyone thinks. ”
There was an uproar.
People still don't buy it.
The reservoir in Jinhua community is directly connected to the reservoir, and water is supplied every day to help everyone solve the sanitation problem.
The water pumped directly from the reservoir, the toilet flushing water is OK, and I feel panicked when I wash my face, let alone drink it directly.
Of course, it is okay to say that it is forced to drink.
The beast did not drink bottled water, nor did it drink polluted water, and still lived.
As long as you are not afraid of getting sick and not afraid of mutation, you will have as much or as much polluted water as you want.
"If you make more trouble, if you make more trouble, write you all down, and I'll see who makes trouble, and I won't send him food."
If the soft one doesn't work, then the hard one can only come.
It's also weird.
Seeing that Zhao Gongwen was in a hurry, the soldier also showed his gun.
One by one, you look at me, I look at you, mania has been cured.
All good citizens.
Queue up, receive food, one by one is very well-behaved.
"This group of Diao people!"
Zhao Gongwen scolded and scolded, and the person who commanded the property began to distribute food.
When it was Wang Tian's turn, Zhao Gongwen glanced at him, remained silent, and handed him a bag of supplies.
This bag of supplies looks like it's a little more than someone else's.
Wang Tianshang carried it in his hand, at least eleven or twelve catties.
It's all in plain sight.
