Chapter 386
Many of the members of the security team are skilled soldiers recruited from the public.
The base is now considering dividing the management of troops and security teams into separate blocks.
But, Qi Mingyu still has a good job after all.
Apart from the elderly Grandma Pang and Mu Mu, Zhou Jianghai is the only one in the family who is still unemployed at home.
His leg injury had lasted for so long that he had recovered long ago.
So, when Zhou Jianghai heard about the job opportunity, he was eager to try it.
He only calmed down after being glared at by Zhong Tiyun for a few times.
"The temperature dropped another four or five degrees today, still far from the extreme cold weather. It's very dangerous outside, especially for working outdoors. You finally managed to heal your leg, so why do you still want to cause trouble for your daughter, son-in-law, and son?"
Zhou Jianghai was a little embarrassed and touched his nose: "I, I just want to bring in more money for the family. I haven't earned any supplies for a year."
Zhong Tiyun said, "It's not that I don't allow you to work, but you have to choose a light job."
It is not difficult for the Zhou family now to arrange a job for Zhou Jianghai in the base.
After some discussion, the family decided to let Zhou Jianghai work in the factory maintenance department.
Repairing equipment is Zhou Jianghai's specialty. Nowadays, survivors who cannot afford heating bills all live in greenhouses. Circuit equipment, heating equipment, etc. need to be repaired and updated frequently.
In this way, everyone in the family of six, except the elderly and children, has a job.
At the same time, the people sent by Xiao Xiao had already brought back simple seawater purification technology.
With a little modification, inland water sources polluted by acid rain and floods can be purified.
This greatly increases the proportion of water resources available for human consumption.
For example, there is already a layer of ice and snow more than one meter deep outside.
In the past, these ice and snow were still polluted water that evaporated and returned to the ground. The snow contained toxins, and people who drank it would experience symptoms of poisoning such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea. A few people recovered on their own, but most people would become sick and die after drinking snow water...
After the end of the world, due to the loss of many technologies, the new base in the previous life could not solve the problem of water pollution and could only watch the arrival of drought disasters.
But now, this technical problem has been solved.
Therefore, the water supply in the base is now normal.
Since the adults at home are busy, Mu Mu takes good care of the vegetables at home.
Let’s ignore the terraces on the first and third floors for now, only the terrace on the second floor is a greenhouse.
The entire second floor is heated, the temperature is as warm as the spring breeze, and with frequent watering, the potatoes and vegetables planted on the terrace are growing particularly well.
Speaking of letting her family eat fresh vegetables soon, Zhong Tiyun felt sorry for the fruit seedlings in the yard.
The seeds and fruit seedlings were planted in the hope that the solar energy and gasoline generators in the villa would produce enough energy for the entire house.
But when the extreme cold came, they tried, but found that they could only barely supply one layer, and could not take care of the rest.
Therefore, I had no choice but to give up the yard, terrace on the first floor and terrace on the third floor.
But the roots of the fruit seedlings planted in the yard were probably frozen to death.
It’s a pity for Zhong Tiyun.
"Yes, we don't know when these fruit tree seedlings will survive. Let us wait until they bloom and bear fruit." Grandma Pang took a sip of fish soup, her tone filled with regret and expectation.
She put down her chopsticks and said, "Tiyun, this fish soup is also very delicious, not fishy at all."
"This fish is from the batch we brought back from the seaside. I specifically picked a type with many bones but no fishy smell for the soup. The weather has been so cold lately, and I've definitely felt my health isn't as good as it used to be. Grandma Pang, you should be able to feel it even more clearly. So from now on, in addition to each person drinking a glass of fresh milk every day, we'll also have a bowl of fish soup or bone soup to replenish our bodies with the most nutrients."
"Okay, you are all busy at work, I will make fish soup from now on." Grandma Pang took on this important task without hesitation.
Zhou Shuwan goes to the hospital to work every day, and Mu Mu goes with her every other day.
Now that he has finished his junior high school courses at home, he has begun to focus on studying medicine.
But the hospital was noisy and the journey there and back was extremely cold.
The air-conditioning suit that Mu Mu bought was no longer big enough, so now when he goes out, he has to wear Grandma Pang’s air-conditioning suit.
After discussing it, the family decided to let him go every other day and share an air-conditioned suit with Grandma Pang who seldom goes out.
When the adults at home are busy and Mu Mu doesn't have to go to the hospital, she wears thick pajamas and works in the greenhouse on the second-floor terrace.
That day he came to the first-floor yard, wanting to see how the fruit seedlings were doing.
Mu Mu curiously used a small shovel to dig up a piece of soil. Suddenly, a touch of fresh green came into view.
"Ah!" Mu Mu exclaimed in surprise. In a flowerpot, a fruit plant's branches had stubbornly sprouted new buds, looking particularly vibrant against the backdrop of the white snow.
"Grandma! Grandma! Come here quickly!" Mu Mu ran into the house excitedly, shouting as he ran.
Grandma Pang, who was organizing ingredients in the kitchen, heard Mu Mu's call, and quickly put down the work in her hands and walked quickly to the yard.
"What's wrong, Mumu? What happened?"
"Look! Here! In this flowerpot!" Mu Mu pointed to the flowerpot in the corner.
Zhong Tiyun looked in the direction of Mu Mu's finger and saw a small fruit seedling with its branch poking out, its tender green buds showing the vitality of life.
She quickly squatted down, carefully cleared away the surrounding soil, and carefully checked the condition of the fruit seedling.
"It's a miracle it survived!"
Because the person who is best at planting in the family is Zhong Tiyun.
Grandma Pang didn't dare to act rashly. She just put the soil back as it was and waited for Zhong Tiyun to come back to deal with it.
When Zhong Tiyun came back, she immediately heard the news and was very happy.
She immediately found tools and transplanted the surviving fruit seedling into the greenhouse on the second-floor terrace.
A warm environment is more conducive to its growth.
After placing the fruit seedlings, a thought flashed through Zhong Tiyun's mind: since one fruit seedling can survive, perhaps there are other fruit seedlings that have also survived tenaciously.
"Grandma Pang, the weather is too cold. You should rest inside. Mu Mu and I will check the fruit seedlings in the yard to see if any are still alive!"
