Chapter 28: The hearts of the people are not aligned, and Su San is angry
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su San was woken up by his son. His son Su Can is only eight years old, and there are no hard patrol requirements for people of this age. Adults don't care where they go, as long as they don't get out on the street.
Su San opened his hazy eyes, and the corners of his eyes were already piled up with eye droppings. He washed his face and wiped the corners of his eyes with a towel. After a day of physical work, my whole body was like falling apart, and I didn't want to move. In addition, I sweated too much yesterday and my mouth was very dry.
"Daddy drink water."
Director Su Can handed the water cup to Su San.
Su San took a sip from his mouth, and it was a little salty.
"Salt water?"
"Yes, my mother said that you do manual work, and the water loss in your body is too great, so you must drink light salt water."
A warmth rose in Su San's heart.
The combination between him and Qiao Cui was introduced by the matchmaker, and there is no emotional basis. Both parties felt that the other party was not bad, and they got married in Layue that year.
Nine years have passed, love has not been cultivated, but the family affection in the bones has slowly penetrated into the bone marrow.
The three words of family are inseparable feelings for Su San and Qiao Cui.
There is not much salt at home, and the dishes in the past two days are very light, which shows that Qiao Cui has been controlling the use of salt. Su San drank all the light salt water in one go, but it was a sweet taste in his heart.
"Where's my sister?"
Su San asked with concern.
"Aunt Liu leads."
"Where's your mother?"
Qiao Cui's arrangement Su San was not clear, and the trivial matters were all in charge of Liu Erye. Women, the elderly, and children have a lot of things to do, and they were called away when they couldn't arrange a job on the spot.
"The clay bricks that were cleaned up were not available for the construction team, so my mother and the others were called to clean the bricks. Dad, it's time for you to go to work, too. ”
Su Can waited for two big eyes to look at Su San. Calling Su San to work is the task assigned by the steward, and the little guy does it as a big thing seriously.
"What about grandpa and uncle?"
"Grandpa was standing guard on the street, and my uncle was called to weld barbed wire at noon. was reprimanded by the grandfather and ran to move bricks. Hum! ”
Su San touched his son's head and pulled him to the roof with a smile. In front of his house is the road and farmland, and it is safest to walk from the house.
When he came to the street, Su San asked Su Can to go with the children. He went directly to his own third construction team.
There are a lot of young and strong laborers, and the construction of the three street entrances at the same time will make the progress much faster.
Of the eighteen excuses, only two need to be focused on. It is enough for the remaining sixteen street entrances to accumulate into 36 walls. These street crossings are only four meters narrow, just enough to pass a car. It's only five meters wide. The construction is particularly fast.
Su San came to the big pot of rice, and the people of the third construction team rushed here one after another to start the meal.
The meal is very simple, winter melon, cabbage, and a chowder of peppers, beans. The staple food is steamed steamed buns by the elderly.
Su San's heart was close to his back when he was hungry, so he picked up the steamed bun and sent it to his mouth.
When eating, Su San realized that nine of the eighteen street entrances had been blocked. Looks like we'll be done by dawn tomorrow.
According to the original plan, there was a small door for vehicles to enter and exit at the eight intersections of the middle street. The two largest intersections can only be welded with barbed wire and steel bars to make a solid gate. In the future, large and small vehicles will need to pass through here, and it is not okay to block it.
The remaining eight street entrances were sealed by brick walls because they were insulated from the outside world.
The joint protection is that zombies are not alive, and such measures are enough to keep zombies out of this small world.
After a half-hour break, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the third construction team officially took over from the first team and began to work hard.
By five o'clock in the morning, when the sun was rising below the horizon, the whole project was complete.
The WeChat group in the village has become a mess, discussing the matter of Su San and their 43 joint insurance. Most of them are envious and jealous, and they discuss that they also want to be insured with their neighbors.
A small number, led by Boss Chen, pointed at Lianbao, and said anything unpleasant. The most encouraging thing is: we have to be careful, these people are a group of bandits, they can do anything. Don't break into the house in the middle of the night, kill us all, and they will rob all the food.
Boss Chen and the Su family still have a protection agreement, and this guy is yelling in a weird way. The angry Su San called over and opened his mouth: If you don't shut up, you will smash your house first, and then dare you to go to the street to fend for yourself. That's what keeps the bastard shut.
Two days of high-intensity construction made everyone tired and didn't want to talk. Everyone went back to their homes and slept until the evening.
At seven o'clock in the afternoon, Su San got up from the bed, and before he finished taking a bath, his younger brother Su Qi opened the small door of the bathroom and told him that his uncle had summoned everyone to the chess and card room for a meeting.
Su Sanxin said that as soon as the joint insurance was established, the old people couldn't wait to start arranging work.
That's right, since it's a joint guarantee, sentry patrols must always be normalized, otherwise what will the joint security do.
Su San came to Liu Chun's grandfather's chess and card room from the roof and found that there was only one person from each family. It's all their little ones.
Uncle waited for everyone to arrive, cleared his throat and spoke.
"As you can all see, the joint guarantee has been formed. The next thing is for everyone to work together, uh... It's time to fight zombies together. The three of us have drawn up a basic charter for you to see. If there is an opinion, it will be put forward immediately, and if there is no opinion, it should be passed. ”
The voice fell, and Liu Erye began to circulate an A4 paper. As soon as the uncle took a sip of water, he immediately added:
"You are all married, old and young, and that's why I called you here. It's all up to you to make your own decisions. I won't explain it to the little daughters-in-law and old ladies. ”
Waiting for the A4 paper to be passed to Su San's hand, Su San carefully browsed the content.
On paper, it's not some lofty action charter, joint guarantee rules and the like. Instead, it lists the supplies that are urgently needed at the moment.
1. Diesel and gasoline have been exhausted due to construction. Fuel must be replenished immediately. Otherwise, all the vehicles will lie on their stomachs, and there will be no way to transport peanuts.
2. In order to cope with the power outage crisis, the joint insurance households need to spare a small generator for use at critical moments.
3. In order to solve the problem of water cut-off that may be faced, a deep water well needs to be drilled.
4. The food of each family is only enough to eat for one and a half months to two months, and it is necessary to pay attention to this problem. We must find ways to increase our food reserves.
5. A set of oil extraction equipment is required.
6. A set of grinding equipment is required.
7. Stock up on medicines immediately.
8. Basic seasonings such as salt, sugar, honey and soy sauce and vinegar need to be solved immediately.
9. On the assignment of sentry posts and patrols.
10. Organize the children to start classes in the chess and card room. The teachers are in charge of Qianqian and Liu Ruping.
11. Solve part of the weapons problem, just in case.
After reading it, Su San handed the paper to Liu Chun beside him. He glared at the three stewards dissatisfiedly.
These things do need to be done, but the most important thing is how to distribute food and how to distribute labor.
For example, whether each family eats its own grain or gathers it together to eat a big pot of rice. If you eat your own, according to what standard the harvested grain is distributed.
If you eat a big pot of rice, how much should the elderly and children eat, how much should the women eat, and how much should the people who are responsible for patrolling the sentry and patrol. Where do necessities such as salt and sugar come from, and where do you get food? Where does the oil come from, where does the generator, oil extraction, and flour grinding equipment come from, and how to deal with the crisis of Lianbao outdoors.
These most critical questions don't even fart.
Su San leaned over to the uncle and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle, that's it. Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?! ”
Uncle glanced at Su San helplessly and said:
"That's all there is to it. The three of us in charge have already slapped the table. Everyone is eating and drinking now, and there is no strong sense of crisis at all. You are asking such a specific question now, who is going to take it to heart. People are selfish, they all want to pull more into their own bowls, and they can't wait to see other people's jokes. First of all, this piece of paper is a notice for everyone to have a number in their hearts. After waiting for a month, someone will be in a hurry. When the time comes, no one will object to the detailed assignment of work, and it will definitely be happy. ”
"This can't be done, the more you drag it back, the less things on it, and the more inconvenient it is to find."
Su San said anxiously.
"Then you talk to the big guy about it."
The uncle spread his hands and let Su San look at it himself.
Everyone practices a simple union, and there is no small system. Even if there is, there is no deterrence from a violent system, who takes him seriously.
No, Su San said that he was dry, and there was a lot of noise in the chess and card room, and only three things were determined.
First: Fuel and generators are obtained from the gas station on the road, and they will leave early tomorrow morning.
Second: The well-drilling equipment was snatched from Chun Tao's house in the next village four kilometers away, and he did it himself, leaving tomorrow afternoon and coming back before dark.
Third: Organize 18 people to go to the village clinic before 10 o'clock and move all the medicines inside to the chess and card room. No matter what it is, whether you know how to use it or not, put it in your own hands first. If the doctor disagrees, he will first exchange four sacks of wheat for the wheat, and the wheat will be divided among the families. If you really can't do it, grab it. Just remember not to hurt anyone.
The rest of the priorities, such as grain harvesting, ration distribution, and labor distribution, cannot be discussed. No one wants to suffer a loss, and they all want others to share less and others to do more.
The importance of the army and the police was immediately apparent. No one is convinced, so they can only fight. If there is a gun stand at the door of the chess and card room, see which one dares to make noise!
Su San scolded angrily at the end, threw the A4 paper to the ground, spat on it, and slammed the door without paying attention.
