After the completion of the first phase of the Gotham renovation, the second phase of the project began non-stop, and most of the houses in the second phase had been completed before the cooling.

But in fact, the house was not delivered so quickly, but because of the residential area in the second phase, the building situation was not optimistic, so before the typhoon arrived, all residents were notified to relocate.

Tyre, who was sitting next to Jason, sighed and said, "You and these younger children don't know much about the situation in Gotham's East End, and the area where my mother and I live is where the first fishermen who came to Gotham lived. ”

"It was a long, long time ago, when many fishermen lived on boats and came back to land just to sell their fish, and they just had a similar shed to live in."

"At that time, it was still a wasteland, and they didn't build their houses carefully, and they didn't even have a good foundation, as long as they could temporarily shelter from the wind and rain, which is why our street was called 'Old Fish Basket', because it was like a dilapidated fish basket, and it was leaking everywhere."

6 Later, the population of Gotham exploded, and the aborigines began to build houses and rent them to outsiders, but the houses were not built very well, and when they built them again, they had to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, which made the whole building particularly unstable."

"The building where my mother and I live is quite good, and several families have joined forces to repair the structure of the building and barely live in it, like the houses to the west of us, which are about to collapse."

Jason was a little puzzled and said, "Your mother is so powerful that she can guard a gas station by herself, why do you live in a house like that?" ”

Tire smiled and said, "It's close to where I work." ”

"Moreover, my mother deliberately moved to a place where aborigines gather, you know, in Gotham, gangs are connections, neighbors are also connections, and the conditions of our family will be so good, also because my mother is not only in the gas station business, but also part-time laundry, sewing clothes and repairing shoes."

"When I grew up a little bit, one of my neighbors worked as a cook in the South Side, and he took me to help him since he was a child, and he could make a lot of money.

Jason suddenly realized, he said: "No wonder, no wonder Cobot is particularly optimistic about you, and has to ask your opinion for everything......"

Tire smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm far worse than you, I'm not a smart person, but, in a sense, I represent the natives of Gotham, and I know best what the natives here are thinking, and those natives are all over the city, occupying many important positions." ”

"It's a bit like a spider's web, we are the web itself, and whoever wants to go into a spider's cave can read what's going on inside from the vibration of a big web."

"I've found that you've really changed a lot." Jason pulled out a blanket from the cabinet next to him, took the tire and draped it over his body, and sat in the corner of the window with Jason watching the rain, Jason sighed, "You would never have said such a metaphor before." ”

Indeed, that sounds a bit ...... In our previous words, it was a bit hypocritical, but now it seems that hypocrisy is not good at all, after all, I just drank hot milk before I came, and now I am still a little sweaty. ”

Tyre looked out the window at the wind and showers, and said, "If it had been before, I would have been nailing the windows with hammers and nails by now, and my mom was holding a hose and pouring the leaking raindrops into the bucket......"

"Maybe the neighbors will call us to help, because the wall in their backyard has collapsed again, and the water has reached the bottom of the wall......"

Jason also smiled and said, "And we, the children of the Capuchin Gang, may be carrying water in relay again, scooping out all the water that seeped into the cellar, and we are so busy that we have no place to sleep in the middle of the night, so we can only sleep on the wet ground, praying that we don't catch a cold in the morning." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he seemed to remember something again, and he frowned and said, "However, the typhoon came a little earlier than we thought, because our family's gas station is our own, and my mother's work is more free, so she can start cleaning up a week in advance." ”

"But even so, we have to help us move with the children of the Capuchin Gang to finish moving today, our neighbors ......" Tire shook his head and said, "Their work is already busy, even the children have to be busy earning money, many people only started to pack up this morning, who knows, the typhoon will come in the evening." ”

"They couldn't finish moving, so they had to get together for the night there, and my mother persuaded them to come to their new home to take shelter from the rain, and they also wanted to guard their things, for fear that their things would be flooded."

Jason frowned, and said in a disapproving tone: "I wanted to say it when I moved today, in fact, you don't need to bring a lot of things, there is everything here, didn't you see it all when you came to visit before?" ”

"There are some old things to carry, I can understand, after all, they are all bought with money, and they can't be wasted, but some things that are completely unusable should also be carried, those pots that have leaked, bowls that have broken holes, and some clothes that are no different from rags, why do you have to carry them?"

"Actually, if you don't have these things, you don't need our help at all, and the two of you can move it in half a day."

Tire also sighed and said, "You think things are too simple, and I don't want to bring those things, but you know that my mother also had a long hard life." ”

"After he separated from my father, he lived alone with me, at that time, my grandmother had not returned from the field, and the land at the gas station was not my mother's, let alone pots and pans and clothes, even if she picked up a piece of wood from outside, she was reluctant to throw it."

"A lot of people in Broken Fish Basket Street are like that, they're very frugal, they want to take everything with them, and even if you tell them there's everything, they're never going to give up on the."

Jason sighed and nodded, he also understood this idea a little, when many children in the Capuch Tail couldn't eat, he was too, and when he saw everything and wanted to take it back, he felt that it could be used and save a lot of money.

They chatted and watched the rain, but after a while, the rain and wind became heavier and stronger, and the tires gradually became serious, and he said, "Why is this typhoon so serious?" I've never seen a typhoon this big since I was born."

He stood up and said, "No, I feel like something is going to happen, I have to go to Boss Copote's side and lie down." ”

He just wanted to turn around and walk out, when a "bang" knock sounded on the door, Jason quickly stood up, opened the door, and the red truck stood outside the door, saying with a solemn face: "The boss called all the children to help have a meeting, something happened!"

Jason put down the still warm milk jug, wrapped the blanket around it to keep warm, and threw the blanket onto Jason's bed with the tires, and rushed out.

In the hallway, as many children walked out sleepily, Jason looked at the red truck and asked, "Who is the boss looking for?" Is it all children, or is it the king of children? ”

"I don't know, he only let me."

Jason pushed the red truck away, rushed into the hallway and said, "All back!" Go back! Go back to sleep! Kid King...... Oh no, what's that called? Captain! Follow me, the captain!"

Many of the children stood a little dazed, not figuring out what was going on, but many of the taller children had already rushed out, saying, "Let's go, I guess there will be a meeting on the adults' side, we have to grab the elevator!"

After saying that, they ran onto the elevator as soon as they smoked, some of them didn't even wear slippers, they were still barefoot, but fortunately, the floor of the corridor was all carpet, and they didn't have to be awkward, and Jason and the tires also ran over.

Sure enough, there were already some adults in the elevator, and Jason saw a familiar gangster, and he asked, "Depp, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, our boss suddenly came to us, I heard...... It seems that the building has collapsed? It may be that there is a problem with the dangerous building on our previous site, and someone is injured. ”

The heart of the tire immediately tightened, and he said, "Where is it?" Is it a broken fish basket street? Who was hurt? Is it serious? ”

The gangster named Depp shook his head and said, "We haven't been to the meeting yet, so I don't know, but that's the most famous dangerous building, right?" Listening to their tone, it seems that there are no dead people, but they are injured......"

As soon as the elevator door opened, the tires rushed out in an instant, Jason followed, the kids rushed into the office, and Cobot was drawing a topographical map on the whiteboard, and when he saw someone coming in, he said:

"You're coming pretty quickly, sit down and drink some water first, and I'll talk about the next arrangements."

"Boss, I heard that there is a dangerous building that has collapsed, probably on the street of my house, we ...... What are we going to do?!, he said anxiously, and then he stomped his foot, and said with some chagrin, "We should let them move in today!" What the hell is there to keep to keep in all that?!......

"Don't worry." Cobot took a sip of water unhurriedly, and then said: "The situation is not very serious, but three buildings have collapsed, none of them are high-rise, so no one was killed, and the specific injuries are still being counted." ”

"Now, the typhoon hasn't passed yet, so it's the adults of the gang who are helping the disaster, and the Wayne Group has sent rescue vehicles and doctors, so it's not a big deal."

"But tomorrow morning, it's time for us to be on the battlefield." Cobot tapped on the blackboard and said, "You should also see that several big gangsters who have moved in here are arranging for people to organize disaster relief, and after dawn, the disaster relief work should be almost over." ”

"At that time, they were hungry and chilling, and our job was to buy good food, boil water and send it to them as soon as the typhoon stopped."

"You don't have to worry about not being paid, the Wayne Group and the gangsters who haven't moved out have jointly funded it, and I've already gotten some of the funds to ensure backup jobs."

"Now, I'll arrange for one group of people to buy food first, and another group of people will pack them separately, and the others will go and deliver them."

It was at this time that Jason raised his hand and he said, "Are we buying ready-made food to heat up?" ”

Cobot looked at him and nodded, not knowing what he was going to ask, but Jason said, "I think we can do it ourselves." ”

"On the one hand, supermarkets that sell raw materials are more complete and cheaper, which can save money and leave us plenty of profit margins."

"On the other hand, the restaurant downstairs is closed, but I can contact their owner and borrow their kitchen as long as I give them a little money."

"Many of the children in the gang have helped in the kitchens of various restaurants, and they have experience in cooking, so they can practice it."

"The food you cook will taste better, at least much better than the semi-finished products you buy in the supermarket, and some of the children's parents are chefs, so you can also give them a part of the remuneration so that they can also participate"

As soon as Jason finished speaking, the other children immediately gossiped:

"That's right! That's right! I know how to chop vegetables, I worked out at one of the most famous Italian restaurants in the East End, and my tomatoes are so good......"

"I can too, and I can roll pizza dough!"

"I can boil water, that's what I used to do in the kitchen."

Cobot raised an eyebrow, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, that's it, Jason, you go and contact the owner of the restaurant, tires, you take a group of people to the vegetable market below to buy something, remember to tell you ......"

"You two, go find a box for things, it's better to find some foam that can keep you warm, you go boil water, and you, count the number of people who can go out to run errands, don't count the wrong ......"

Soon, Jason left the office, and as he passed by the hallway, he saw that the rain outside the window was still heavy, but he felt a fire in his chest, which made him feel very warm, and even a thin layer of sweat from the heat.

He wiped his forehead and walked briskly towards the elevator, all the children were like him, and this time, it was no longer the whip that was urging them, but something else.

It is something that grows out of the surplus of being well-fed and well-fed, protected from typhoons, and staying in a warm house.

It makes them feel dazed, but it also makes them feel empowered and brisk on their feet.
