Chapter 347: Comfortable Lao Hong
"I don't know where they were locked up, and if Dongqing heard about them," Lao Hong muttered to himself while leaning against the window and looking out of the window.
It's half past four in the afternoon. Except for Ning Dongqing, the little bastard, and the other two children, everyone else returned to the dormitory. They've been farming for the past few days. There are all kinds of things, everything. Although Lao Hong was born in a poor family, he didn't recognize many seeds, except for the more obvious grains, vegetables and fruits, he didn't know anything else.
However, compared with those foreigners, Lao Hong can be said to be like a fish in water, and he is very comfortable in the team. Where have these foreigners farmed, they are basically in a daze when they get to the field, and they don't know what to do.
When Lao Hong was a child, he often followed his parents to work in the fields, so farming was not difficult for him at all. In addition, Lao Hong has the ability to see and is very good at getting things done, so he will soon be able to speak in front of the police Martin.
Martin was the policeman in charge of the twenty-seven of them. This person is humble like a dog in front of the chief, but in front of their group of people, he is the boss who is the only one, and the real emperor of the soil.
In fact, their team was supposed to be thirty-four people, but Alexia went to the small hospital, and Yuan Shiqi was replaced by Stanny with twelve cigarettes. Among them, there are also five special talents, who were taken away by police officer Vincent.
Four of the remaining twenty-seven were teenagers, and according to Director Pierre's orders, all of them were to go to school.
So the team that police officer Martin is really in charge of is twenty-three people.
Although Brooke no longer takes people out to catch survivors these days, through the efforts of some time ago, there are still several teams like them in the manor.
The ranks ranged from a dozen to thirty people. Martin's team is quite okay.
When it comes to farming, they are naturally black-eyed when they become policemen. Even if it's to give them the machine. They don't necessarily have a good time, let alone go down with a group of people.
There are so many 'special talents' in the manor who know how to farm. But these people are all managed by Grant, the butler. This job should have been taught to them by Grant the housekeeper, but Grant is also a busy man now, and he simply doesn't have that much time to teach them how to farm.
Even if it's a rare time for him to bring someone here, it depends on how he feels. If Grant is in a good mood, those 'special talents' dare to say a few more words. If you're in a bad mood, it's basically a formality, and as for how to farm, it's all up to guessing.
In this case, the importance of Lao Hong is highlighted. Although he did not come from an agricultural background, he still has rich experience in grassroots labor. So in this team, Lao Hong's role is somewhat similar to that of a technical consultant.
But. Since Ning Dongqing needed to go to school, Yuan Shiqi had to help Stanny again. No one helped Lao Hong translate, so English has become Lao Hong's biggest problem now.
Others can't be relied on, Lao Hong can only rely on himself. Fortunately, he can still make a comparison, but he didn't delay too much. When encountering words that he can't speak, Lao Hong will secretly write them down. Wait until Ning Dongqing comes back in the evening, and then memorize these words silently, and it can come in handy the next day.
For this old Hong, who has useful value and is particularly good at things. Police officer Martin was naturally very satisfied. Therefore, it is not Lao Hong's turn to do dirty work, and he is very relaxed these days.
In addition to Lao Hong, there is another person in this team who does not have to work, and that is Alexander. If Lao Hong is a technical consultant. Then Alexander was the overseer.
A team of twenty-three people, with only Martin and his deputy, was quite difficult to manage. However, the number of police officers is limited. It is also unrealistic to assign one more policeman to each team. So, naturally, Martin had to find someone reliable to help him share the workload.
But. These things are all secret, and naturally Director Pierre can't know about them. Director Pierre was very strict in the management of these survivors. He will never allow them to have power and weapons.
However, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. What's more, Alexander was just an overseer, and he had no power at all.
As for why Alexander was able to be this overseer, he had to thank the little bastard.
Police officer Martin has repeatedly stressed that his group is not allowed to leave the dormitory without permission. The team had just finished the interview that day, and when they returned to the dormitory, five of them took this as a deaf ear and had to go out to do something.
Alexander, who was guarding the door, didn't say a word, and directly taught them a lesson.
Martin heard the commotion and took Alexander and the group away. At that time, the little bastard didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he chased him out, and Lao Hong couldn't even drag it.
In order to give this group of people who were fighting, Martin naturally couldn't show mercy to his subordinates, and they all beat them up. After the little bastard chased him out, he told Martin what had happened, and wanted to ask Alexander for a favor.
When Martin knew the cause and effect, he took this Alexander to heart. Of course, a beating is inevitable. The same goes for the little bastard who left the dormitory without permission, and he was beaten up with Alexander and the gang.
Since Alexander was able to pick out five, and did so for his own sake, Martin rewarded him with this overseer's errand.
Alexander knew that people under the eaves had to bow their heads. Fortunately, this job is just to monitor everyone's work, and there is nothing to break his bottom line, so Alexander did his due diligence, which made Martin very satisfied.
Except for Lao Hong and Alexander, the others were miserable.
They start at 9 a.m. and work until 4 p.m. There was about an hour's break at noon, and other than that, they were doing physical labor almost non-stop throughout the day.
For this group of foreigners who are used to being comfortable, how could they endure such high-intensity labor. It's only been a few days, and the team is already full of resentment.
The group tried to reason with Martin and asked to see Director Pierre. But needless to say, the end was either starved for a day, or beaten with a batons.
How could their sheep fight the wolves, and they could only accept the fate of being enslaved. Fortunately, Martin didn't do things too well. Not only did Martin reduce the intensity of their work, but he even gave them a day off every week.
Anyway, Director Pierre didn't arrange any production indicators, and he didn't want his team to be discordant, so he chose to open one eye and close one eye.
After suffering a loss, this group of sheep naturally did not dare to oppose Martin again. But for Lao Hong and Alexander, who don't have to work, they are getting more and more red.
Due to the peculiarities of their identities, Lao Hong and Alexander have been ostracized by others. However, Lao Hong smiled at everyone. In addition, there is no direct conflict of interest, so their apparent relationship is quite reasonable.
As for what this group of people think of Lao Hong behind their backs, I don't know.
For Alexander, who spies on them, this group of people is a little hateful. Alexander is still the same old look, he looks like he loves and ignores everyone, no wonder his popularity is so bad.
Coupled with the fact that the five-person group kept making small moves behind their backs, Alexander could be said to have no friends. Except for the little bastard and Lao Hong, who occasionally talked to him, the others ignored him, ignored him, and played cold violence.
But Alexander didn't take it to heart. Every day, I sit alone in the dormitory in a daze, and I don't know what I'm thinking.
Janeton and Dave still maintain a relatively close relationship with Lao Hong.
Since Alexia has become a superior doctor, Yuan Shiqi is not usually in the team except for sleeping at night. The small team of four people back then is now the only two left. In addition, Lao Hong and the policeman Martin have a good relationship, and they usually take the initiative to mix with Lao Hong.
What kind of calculation these two little foreigners made, of course Lao Hong could guess it. However, everyone he saw was smiling, not to mention that there was a relationship between Alexia and Yuan Shiqi, Lao Hong would definitely not give them face.
After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Lao Hong has understood a truth: when you climb up, you have to be kind to others, because you will meet them when you go downhill.
As for the little bastard and Ning Dongqing, they had already started going to school a few days ago. Listening to Ning Dongqing, the so-called 'school' is nothing more than two large rooms.
One room is full of children over the age of 10, and the other room is for children under the age of 10. At that time, Director Pierre told them that the children would receive a very comprehensive education here, including how to deal with zombies and survive in the wild.
But these days, all they learn is some boring textbook knowledge. The teachers who teach the class basically come to check in every day, and they don't pay attention to teaching at all.
Occasionally, Director Pierre came to inspect, and they would give lectures very hard. It's called a subdued and impassioned.
However, this is no different from when the world was still normal, and the children are very adaptable. In addition, they don't have any exams and don't have to work like everyone else, so they are still very happy.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that the little bastard was placed in a class under the age of ten.
The little bastard's English is so bad that he basically can't even say a complete sentence, just word by word. It was hard for Martin to understand his defense of Alexander.
Therefore, the little bastard can only follow the group of little children to learn the most basic English knowledge. The little bastard doesn't care about that. Except for not being able to stay with Ning Dongqing all the time, everyone else is very satisfied. (To be continued.) )
