Chapter 32: A Day to Remember
After a while, the news of "meat to eat for dinner today" spread throughout the subway station of Tomorrow.
In addition to the sentries and workshop workers who needed to change the guard in batches, the rest of the subway residents gathered in front of the supply depot.
The queue is getting longer and longer.
Many subway people who got mushroom stew directly found a place on the spot, sat down, and couldn't wait to enjoy the rare food:
"Is this what pork tastes like?"
"It's delicious!"
"This soup is delicious..."
Looking at the subway people feasting in front of the supply depot, Lu Dachuan, Arthur and others who heard the news all gave him a thumbs up for his generous move.
"Ah Xi, well done."
"Brother, we really didn't see the wrong person, you are a good man who dares to take responsibility!"
In the face of the praise of Lu Dachuan and others, Chen Xi just spread his hands and deliberately joked: "I thought you would think I was too extravagant..."
Hearing this, Lu Dachuan's face turned straight and said extremely seriously:
"How so?!"
You are able to do this to prove that you care about others, which is a good quality of a great leader! It's too late for me to be happy, how can I disagree? ”
"Besides, we said before that no matter what you do, we will fully support you!"
Greeted the trusting eyes of several people, Chen Xi's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but show a bright smile:
"Then I'll be relieved..."
In fact, it was not Chen Xi's whim to take out the precious pork and let the people in the subway station eat a good meal.
First of all, today is indeed a day to celebrate.
Moreover, after Li Jingui and his lackeys were eradicated, the subway station tomorrow will no longer need to supply his backstage, and the supplies are much more sufficient.
Occasionally improving people's food and boosting morale will be of great help to unite the hearts and minds of the people in the subway station.
In the last days, hope is an extremely rare thing.
With the hope of the future, the spiritual outlook of the people of the subway will improve, they will work harder, and they will build the subway station as a home.
Only the better the subway station, the better Chen Xi as a leader.
It's a virtuous cycle!
However, for the people of tomorrow's subway station, today's surprises are not over yet...
Handing the wooden spoon back to the cook, Chen Xi thought of another idea.
"Brother Lu, I still want to do this..."
He whispered a few words into Lu Dachuan's ear.
The latter nodded, then turned to the two explorers beside him and gave a command.
With that, the two explorers called two well-fed old men and walked straight into the supply depot.
In a few moments, each of the four carried an oval barrel to the long table in front of the supply depot.
Just when everyone was puzzled by this, Chen Xi stood on top of the wooden box again, waved his hand and said loudly:
"How can you not drink a little if you are so happy today? No alcohol though. However, we produce our own delicious sodas, and there are! ”
"Enjoy, drink as much as you want!"
After that, he took a cup of delicious soda handed by Lu Dachuan and held it high in the air:
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us remember this day forever! This is the day when we regain control of our own destiny! ”
The people of the subway looked up at the infectious young leader, their eyes and faces full of reverence.
In the next second, the entire subway station resounded with deafening cheers!
。。。
The next day, at six o'clock in the morning.
Drip, drip...
The alarm clock of a mechanical watch rang suddenly.
Chen Xi, who was lying on the mattress, opened his eyes suddenly.
There is no day or night in the days of the earth.
There is only one way to tell the time, and there is only one clock full of historical traces.
Lifting the thick quilt, the first thing Chen Xi did when he got up was to light the kerosene lamp on the table next to him.
By the dim light, he began to put on his clothes.
Although there are tailors in the various underground shelters, some pigskin jackets are also homemade.
However, most of the intimate clothing and quilts worn by the survivors were collected from the surface by the explorers, or sold by the scavengers to the merchants, who in turn sold them to the survivors.
More than 40 years after the nuclear explosion, there are some clothes that are in good condition, and as long as the radiation residue on them is eliminated, they can be put on and let the cold out.
After all, in the last days, in order to survive, there is nothing to find fault with...
After getting dressed, Chen Xi picked up a large mineral water bottle filled with water and poured half a cup into a plastic cup.
I picked up a wooden toothbrush with bristles, dipped it in some water, and began to brush my teeth.
Due to the cold winter, the temperature is lower and the bristles are stiffer, which is suitable for making toothbrushes and brushes.
And this kind of homemade toothbrush and brush are also very common daily necessities in various underground shelters.
After all, if you don't clean your mouth for a long time, it can cause various oral diseases.
Any disease is a terminal illness for human beings in the last days.
Even if it is a small cold, in the absence of corresponding medicine, it is equivalent to a death sentence!
The water had a faint peculiar smell, very similar to the filtered tap water that Chen Xi had drunk in the other world.
After brushing his teeth, he carefully picked up the cup, poured it into his slightly bent palm little by little, and then slapped the water on his face and rubbed it gently.
Even if the subway station tomorrow is connected to the underground pipes of the waterworks, the water source is still sufficient for the time being.
However, the consciousness of saving resources is deeply ingrained in any eschatological human.
Chen Xi, who has fused the memories of his predecessor, is no exception.
After washing, he went outside the office and said to the guard standing guard at the door:
"Go and tell Deputy Leader Lu and Arthur to come to my office!"
After yesterday's revolution and selfless kindness, Chen Xi's reputation as a young leader in the subway station has reached its peak!
This also made Chen Xi more confident in what he was going to do next.
And there is only one thing he has to do:
Reform!
During the years of Li Jingui's rule, there were no rules at all in the subway station.
No, it can be said that Li Jingui's words are the rules!
But now it is no longer the "hanger" Li Jingui who is in power, but him.
A modern youth from another world!
Although there is little management experience.
However, I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig run.
In any case, Chen Xi is also a college student who has experienced modern higher education and a senior online reader.
He had some thoughts on the question of "how to manage an underground shelter in the context of the end times".
It is nothing more than setting rules and rationally dividing labor, so that everyone in the subway station works around the same goal.
And the first step of his reform is to set the rules!
