After lunch, He Jian took Xiang Xin to the "black market" in the city, saying that it was a black market, but in fact, it was already semi-public.

The black market is located on a street in the south of the city, and it is also the liveliest place in the entire Jinglong City, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the refugee camp, and a lot of good things flow out of it.

"Husband, how is this necklace, does it look good when I wear it?"

Xiang Xin held a necklace with a peacock pendant and compared it on his chest, how to look at it and how to like it.

"Beautiful." He Jian nodded, and then looked directly at the shopkeeper: "Boss, how much is this necklace?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the police uniform on He Jian's body, didn't dare to make a random price, and said with a smile:

"Girl, this necklace is the best piece of jewelry I have here. Look at this luster, 24-carat pure gold, weighing 35 grams. If the two of them really want it, just give 30,000 yuan. ”

"Hey, it's less than a thousand yuan per gram, you won't have a problem with this chain, right?"

Xiang Xin immediately put down the necklace in her hand, and at the same time became vigilant in her heart.

"Don't worry, the necklace is definitely real gold, and the price of gold on our side is like this." The owner of the shop was reluctant to say more.

Of course, He Jian knows the reason, it is nothing more than a lower purchase price.

He had seen second-hand dealers exchange seven or eight steamed buns for a gold bracelet from the refugee camp, with dozens of times the huge profits in the middle.

Seeing her husband nodded, Xiang Xin was suddenly moved, and was ready to buy the necklace, even if she didn't need it, it would be good to bring it back to Yanjing to make a difference.

"I bought it, can you pay by mobile phone here?"

The shopkeeper pointed to the QR code on the side and replied, "Yes, you can just scan this." ”

He Jian couldn't let his wife pay for it, and hurriedly used his mobile phone to transfer the account to the store owner, his salary and subsidy here are 20,000 yuan per month, which is more than many white-collar workers.

Throughout the afternoon, the couple walked around this street several times, buying a lot of jewelry, adding up to about 100,000 yuan.

Xiang Xin was very excited, after all, it was an unexpected joy.

The time to get together is always short, because He Jian only took one day off, after dinner, the other party rushed back to the refugee camp overnight with some nutritional products.

Xiang Xin was unwilling to "stay alone in the empty room", in order to get along with He Jian for a few more days, she specially hid from her husband and went to the police station to sign up for volunteers in the refugee camp.

The registration procedures were still handled by Xiao Shao for her.

……

Early the next morning, a convoy of more than 100 volunteers set off, and Xiang Xin was one of them.

The road was boring, and there was no signal on the mobile phone, so a few people in the car simply chatted.

"Yanjing has to stop the water every day?" A high school girl was amazed, you must know that they haven't stopped the water in Jinglong!

Xiang Xin explained with a wry smile: "Your side is close to the Cangjiang River, and there are several reservoirs in the upper reaches, of course, there is no shortage of water.

Yanjing is different, all surface rivers have been cut off, and several large reservoirs are estimated to not last much time, how can there be no water restrictions? ”

"So what are you going to do in the future?"

"Rely on the desalination plant, otherwise what else can it do." Xiang Xin said helplessly.

"Wow, it turns out that the capital is more short of water than us!" A faint sense of superiority rose in the hearts of several Jinglong people.

Xiang Xin took the opportunity to change the subject: "Have any of you ever been to a refugee camp?" ”

"Our hospital has held several free clinics, and I have been there twice." A female doctor in her forties nodded.

"Dr. Yang, what is it like in the refugee camp?" Xiang Xin then asked, and the others were also full of curiosity.

Dr. Yang sighed heavily: "The refugee camp is not a good place, just a large flat land, with many shacks built on it, hundreds of thousands of people crowded together, and the slums are a paradise compared to it. ”

"What about that night?" Xiang Xin wondered.

Although Jinglong's location is relatively southern, the temperature at night is also minus seven or eight degrees, and there is no heating, so people will freeze to death at night.

"The trees on the surrounding hills are dead, and there are people in the camp who are responsible for cutting firewood every day.

Last month, a fire broke out in the camp because of heating problems, killing thousands of people at once. Dr. Yang sighed.

"That's too miserable, isn't it, why don't you build more houses for them to live in?" The high school girl couldn't help but speak again.

"There's no need." Dr. Yang shook his head, "The biggest problem in the camps right now is the lack of food, not any accommodation. ”

The high school girl shut up and said that food, Daxia is also lacking, and Jinglong is even more lacking, she is just simple, and she is not really stupid.

Half an hour later, the camp finally arrived, and before everyone got out of the car, they first smelled a foul smell.

Xiang Xin covered her nose and complained: "Isn't there a toilet here, why is it so smelly?" ”

To be honest, she was a little reluctant.

Fortunately, Dr. Yang was prepared and took out a few masks and distributed them to everyone.

"Hurry up and bring it, just get used to it."

"Are you used to smelling bad?" Xiang Xin complained secretly.

After getting off the bus, the camp was exactly as Dr. Yang said, not only the living conditions were extremely poor, but even the refugees, one by one, were skinny and looked a little scary.

After living in the dormitory and putting away the luggage, several people in the car were quickly assigned to different positions.

Naturally, Dr. Yang went to the free clinic, and the high school girl was assigned to take care of the orphans, and Xiang Xin was unlucky and assigned to the canteen, where it is said that the work is the hardest and most tiring.

But if it comes, it will be safe.

Xiang Xin quickly entered the working state, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, and lunch was being prepared in the cafeteria.

It's just that the canteen here is a little different from the canteen Xiang Xin imagined, at least she didn't see any pots and pans, and some were just big stoves, three or four meters high.

"Master Bao, what are these stoves for?"

Chef Bao is a chef in the canteen, and he is not a volunteer, but a salary.

"Of course, it's for cooking, otherwise hundreds of thousands of people in the entire refugee camp will rely on how dozens of us can get by." Master Bao replied with a smile.

"Cooking? How to cook? Xiang Xin said curiously.

Master Bao climbed to the top of the furnace, then opened the door above, and introduced:

"See, put the ingredients and water from here, and after filling it, just steam it for ten minutes, and the food is ready."

"So convenient? How many people can eat in this stove? ”

"Almost a thousand!"

"Master Bao, what do refugees usually eat?" Xiang Xin became interested.

Master Bao led Xiang Xin to the warehouse, "The raw materials are all here, we just need to mix them in proportion." ”

Xiang Xin stepped forward and glanced at it, "Yo ho", this is too picky, it's worse than pig food, don't talk about bran, you can still eat it.

But what the hell is this sawdust?

Master Bao saw through Xiang Xin's careful thinking at a glance, and explained earnestly:

"Xiao Xiang, don't think it's too much, these are inconspicuous in our country, but for those refugees, they are all life-saving food."
