Chapter 41: Chain Reaction
Ever since a group of soldiers followed them to sell their groceries every day, Lin Mu could clearly feel that the attitude of the people in the village towards his whole family had changed.
When you meet, you don't say a word before you smile, and you usually try not to contact them if you can, and when they walk over, you can always faintly hear the sound of discussion.
Finally one day, when Lin Mu came home, he saw his aunt's family sitting at home.
"Auntie, you're here!"
"Xiaomu, come here, my aunt asks you something." Lin Mu's aunt patted the sofa next to her and asked Lin Mu to sit down.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was very solemn, Lin Mu sat down cautiously.
"Let me ask you, why do those soldiers look at you every day, did you commit something?"
As soon as Lin Mu sat down, Auntie's question was thrown over.
In an instant, Lin Mu and Xiao Chen glanced at each other, one with panic in his eyes, and the other with calm in his eyes.
"Auntie, can you still not know who I am? Do I have the guts to commit crimes? "Lin Mu is calm, small scene, small scene, calm.
"I asked you because I knew you!" Lin Mu's aunt looked at him with eyes that hated iron and steel, "Some people in our village say that you went out to college and become an important figure in the country, and those soldiers are here to protect you." ”
Lin Mu thought to himself, the master is in the people, but I didn't expect someone to guess an outline, he is indeed a national-level protected figure now.
My aunt continued: "But our family still doesn't know you, your mother said it's impossible, and we don't have the ability to make you an important figure in the country." ”
Auntie said, Mother Lin was helping on the side, and she should nod her head.
"Some people also say that you colluded with foreign countries to betray the country, and your food was bought by betraying the country, and those soldiers are monitoring and controlling you."
Where is this, isn't it, when has this been, what has become of chaos at home and abroad, everyone is dying of hunger, and they are still betraying the country?
Let him see which country with such a big face can move him—a man with a system to help them.
If you can fantasize so much, why don't you write a novel?
But surveillance, too, can be regarded as a real thing.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm just an ordinary second-class dealer, and those soldiers are there to help maintain discipline in order to prevent the recurrence of the previous stampede and robbery."
Lin Mu looked directly at his aunt and his mother with his sincere little eyes: "You all know the stampede in Chaojiagou before, how many people died, if it weren't for the soldiers holding guns and letting people line up, maybe there would have been another stampede in the past two days." ”
"Really?" Aunt Lin and Mother Lin will be skeptical.
"That's true!" Lin Mu uses his small eyes to unleash sincere light waves.
Mother Lin sent her aunt's family back and returned home with peace of mind.
When she entered the house, she saw the whole family staring at her.
Father Lin bore the brunt of the attack, "I just said, my son won't do anything illegal, you don't believe it." ”
Lin Mu only learned at this time that it turned out that Lin's mother was worried that he was doing something illegal, so she asked his aunt to explore Lin Mu's mouth.
"Don't I also care about Xiaomu, do you think everyone is like you, and you don't hear anything outside the window!"
"Mom, I know you care about me." At this time, you must say, "I promise, I will never do anything that violates the law!" ”
This farce is now completely over.
Afterwards, Lin Mu found another opportunity and told Xiao Chen alone.
"You didn't tell the three of them about the food, did you?"
"No, you didn't allow it, how can I say it, if you want to say it, it should be your brother."
"That's good, don't tell them in advance, just let the two of us know."
"Got it."
……
City B, Command Center.
"All the work should be done at a faster pace, and all the people who can be mobilized should be mobilized as much as possible, and the sooner it can be completed, the better."
"But the food is ......"
"The convoy selling coal has set off, and I believe that it will soon be able to exchange for grain, and the coal mining site has been non-stop mining, and there will be a steady stream of coal and grain in the future."
"Yes, I will command it at once."
……
Government office buildings across the country have posted recruitment information.
"The country is recruiting workers again, are you going?"
A man had just returned home from a government office building and was talking to the person next door to his house about job hunting.
"Go, there's a subsidy, why don't you go, but what's it for?"
"It's said that it's laying cables, whether it's an electrician or a digger."
After hearing this, the man on the other side thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Isn't this the restoration of infrastructure?" The state gets the exact news that the disaster is going to pass? ”
As soon as he said this, the person who spoke before also became excited, "Maybe that's the case!" ”
"Let's go, let's go sign up and lay the cable together!"
The two of them ran towards the government building in a hurry.
This time, the country's recruitment recruited almost all those who could work, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were rushing to meet the deadline.
Some people feel that this is the beginning of hope, a sign that the disaster is about to pass.
Others perceive an unusual aura from such urgent construction, and perhaps, an even greater catastrophe is coming.
Taoyuan Village also received a recruitment notice, in order to cooperate with everyone to work, Lin Mu advanced the time to go out to sell every day a lot, and drove out every day at dawn.
By the time he made his way back from the last stop, there was almost no one in the village.
And after he and Xiao Chen sent the car back, they also had to go out to work.
The place where he went to work was not near their village, but next to the provincial road that was far away.
Every time they go to work, there is a car to pull them over, and as far as the eye can see, they are densely packed, all of them are people, and they can't see the edge at a glance.
The weather was very cold, and Lin Mu felt that the temperature in the past two days was about the same as the temperature in winter in H Province.
The ground is hard and lumpy, and the shovel can't be shoveled at all, so you can only rely on the hoe to knock the soil open first, and then you can use the shovel to shovel it through.
Doing the work, Lin Mu also felt that it was estimated that there was another catastrophe coming, otherwise there was no need to lay the cable when it was most inconvenient to lay the cable, and it was completely possible to wait for the spring to bloom and the land would not clump before proceeding.
Considering the temperature of the past two days, Lin Mu felt that if he guessed correctly, there should be a serious cold wave coming.
If that's the case, then the priority is coal, lots and lots of coal.
No one knows how long the cold wave will last, and only by storing enough coal can we survive it safely.
Where to find coal, except for the work subsidy, you can not receive food, but receive coal, Lin Mu has not found any other way to get coal.
