walking dead

Duan Wangfu!

Three plaques with large golden lacquer characters are very eye-catchingly hung on the door. The two vermilion doors directly show the lofty status of the owner of the house. Rows of golden foam nails are neatly inlaid on them. Not only the front door, but also the side The side door is also unambiguous. A row of eight big red pillars silently tells the majesty and courage of this place. The two stone lions in front of the door are guarding the door with their teeth and claws. Even the carvings are quite exquisite, and the whole house shows the grandeur of the top rich and powerful families in ancient times.net

The magnificence of the palace immediately shocked the group of country bumpkins brought by Lin Tao. Zhang Xu opened his mouth for a long time before he recovered, and then excitedly touched the stone lion. When he turned around, he had already A little messy, he stammered to the tour guide girl: "This...such a big house really only needs [-] catties of rice per month?"

"Hehe~ Of course it's only fifty catties! But brother, don't be too surprised. This house looks amazing on the outside, but it's not as big as you imagined inside, because it's just for filming and dealing with it. So there are only two rows of houses in the front and back, and they are not built according to the formal palace, but the furniture is all in place, don't buy it separately, it is more cost-effective!" The girl explained with a smile.

"As long as the appearance is decent enough, people have a face!" Zhang Xu's eyes lit up fiercely, and he patted the big front paw of the stone lion excitedly, then turned to Lin Tao and said with a smile: "Haha! Brother Lin , I think this is the place, we also have a taste of being a prince!" [

"Okay, anyway, you'll have a share in finding food in a few days, so don't complain about being tired!" Lin Tao nodded with a smile, and the women standing behind him ran up excitedly to open the door, but whether it was Whether it is the main entrance or the side entrance, General Tie guards the door.

"Don't worry, I'll call the people from the housing management office, and the house will be opened if you give me rice!" The tour guide said and ran away in a hurry, and soon brought two middle-aged men and women with badges The woman among them walked up to Lin Tao with a large bunch of keys, and said very politely: "Sir, the rent is [-] catties per month, and we will come to collect it at the beginning of each month. If you don't want to rent it, you must Let us know in advance that the monthly rent will not be refunded, and the original furniture inside cannot be taken away when you leave. Also, because this is a wooden structure house, you must be prepared for fire prevention. Once a fire occurs, not only will you If you are fined, you may face expulsion from the city..."

The woman with the badge politely told Lin Tao a lot of precautions, without any sign of impatience from the beginning to the end, and also told them about the responsibilities of the housing management office, waiting for them to hand over the keys to Cao When Mei held hands, everyone except Lin Tao looked at the two people from the housing management office with weird eyes, and saw Zhang Xu picking his chin, and couldn't help asking: "You two, are you a person in this city?" Are you a civil servant here?"

"Of course, we passed three written tests and interviews, and finally got this position with the personal confirmation of the deputy mayor in charge!" The man with a little balding proudly raised his chest and pointed to his side The middle-aged woman introduced: "This is Director Li of our management office!"

"Hehe~ Hello everyone, feel free to come to me if you have any problems with housing in the future, and I will definitely do my best to solve them for you!" The middle-aged woman said kindly.

"That's not right!"

It never occurred to me that a random girl would turn out to be the director. Zhang Xu looked at the two of them in extreme bewilderment, and said, "We are renting your public house, shouldn't we let us come to find you? Then let us find this and then look for it." Well, it should be stamped with seven or eight red stamps and signed with a dozen or so names? How can there be any reason for a civil servant to come to serve in person? Especially since you are still a director! You are not impersonators, are you? have a look!"

"No, no! This civil servant dares to impersonate. If he is caught, he will be expelled!" Director Li immediately waved his hand quickly, and said with some embarrassment: "If you don't want to believe it, you can ask Xiaojin to arrest the police officer. Call me to prove it, you should believe the police, right?"

"Don't say we deliberately find fault, tell you the truth, you are so polite that even I don't think you are like civil servants!" Bingbing also looked puzzled, then turned to look at the little tour guide and said: "Guide Jin Yan, it's you All civil servants are like this, or did we just happen to meet two talkative ones?"

Jin Yan is the name of the little tour guide. When she heard Bingbing's question, she and the two people from the housing management office laughed, and it was Jin Yan who explained: "Sister, that's all in the past tense. Now it's different from before. , Our civil servants are considered real civil servants, and they will never ask for a grain of rice. Otherwise, as soon as you complain about them, an investigation team will come down to investigate them. Once the situation is verified, not only will you not be a civil servant, From now on, even street sweepers won’t accept them!”

"Yes, the phrase serving the people is no longer empty talk. To put it bluntly, you are the ones who serve us. You are the ones who pay to support us. If you don't do your best to serve you well, who of you will be willing to pay? Yes Right?" Director Li also had a smile all over his face, and his smile was very sincere.

"Hey~ Strange, I'm really flattered! If we can keep going like this forever, I think we'll live better than Yankees!" Zhang Xu looked at the two serious civil servants and shook his head His face was full of disbelief.

A few more words of nonsense, after the people in the management office handed over the keys and left, Lin Tao and the others began to move things into the house in large and small bags, and with the unanimous consent of everyone, Lin Tao took his three women and rice Caleb and Axue lived together in the big house in the backyard, Jiang Yan insisted on being a servant, and dragged No. [-] to follow, while the rest of them all lived in the small house in the front. In the house, everyone will know that Jin Yan's words are true when they actually enter the palace.

After placing things one by one, everyone gradually began to feel a little bit at home. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. Even if they were busy and sweating profusely, everyone was happy. The loss of Gao Yuanyuan's father gave everyone a headache. The little girl was so stimulated that she looked stupid now. She would eat when she was told to eat, and she would sleep when she was asked to sleep, but she didn't cry or laugh. No. [-] is still like a robot, everyone has no choice but to arrange Chen Jie, who is usually closest to her, to sleep with her in the same bed, and enlighten her from time to time, hoping that she can recover soon.

As for Li Li, who just died of a man, she really cried for a long time at that time, but after crying, she was fine again. In her words, two men died in a row, and even her own husband died. It's okay to die a wild man, basically completely numb, after she added the last handful of soil to Boss Hu's grave, she seemed to have really put all the sorrows behind her, and started to live a life of eating and drinking again!

"Brother Lin, do you think we need to find a gatekeeper here?" Jin Yan saw that Lin Tao and the others were almost ready to go out, so she approached cautiously and said with a smile: "Although the security here is not bad, But theft still happens from time to time. I suggest that you better find a janitor. First, he can show you a house when you go out together. Second, you have fewer men, so you can let him do some heavy work, anyway. The porter's room is also empty!"

"What? Xiao Jin, do you have any acquaintances you want?" Lin Tao turned his head to look at Jin Yan, and asked with a smile.

"Yes...it's my dad!" Seeing that Lin Tao's words revealed her small thoughts, Jin Yan immediately blushed and said coyly, "Because he's too honest, he can't even get chores, and he has to Rely on me, Brother Lin, if you lack a janitor here, I can call him to show you, he doesn’t need any extra food, just give him one meal a day, just keep him from starving to death !"

"Okay, we're going to go out for a stroll later, we really need someone to watch over the house, you call your father!" Lin Tao nodded with a smile, and didn't care about the extra pair of chopsticks at home, considering the waste of those women Look, the food leaking out of their mouths alone is enough to feed two of Jin Yan's fathers! [

"Hey! Thank you, thank you Brother Lin!" Jin Yan immediately bowed to Lin Tao excitedly, the black ponytail on the back of her head was curled up, and she ran out of the courtyard gate in a flash, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the alley.

It was only about ten minutes after Jin Yan came back again. Lin Tao, who was leaning against the red-painted door frame and smoking, could hear Jin Yan telling her father from a distance, but he must be more diligent. It's annoying, and there are a lot of women in the family, so let his father avoid it more, don't be rash.

/>

"Brother Lin, this is my dad, do you think it's okay?" Jin Yan said and pulled a timid middle-aged man into the gate. This man had a pair of very rough hands and his skin was tanned. It is a farmer who often goes to the fields to do farm work, wearing a navy blue coat with holes and patches all over it, with an honest look on his head.

"Hehe~ Uncle Jin, you don't have to be so restrained. You can just treat this place as your own home from now on. We don't really have much work for you to do here. There are women like them who do laundry and cooking. Your job is to sweep the floor. Just dust off the dust and run more at night to watch out for fires. Normally, you rest in the concierge. If anyone comes to us, you can help and shout!" Lin Tao looked at Jin Yan's father, He walked over and said with a warm face.

"Hey, you... don't worry, I... I will definitely do my job well!" The man immediately bowed in trepidation, while Jin Yan helped him up with a smile, and said, "Dad, Brother Lin is a Good man, you have to do your best to help him work, and there are many three hands in the city, you should patrol the yard more often!"

"If those three hands dare to come, I...I will fight with them!" Jin Yan's father said fiercely while clenching his fists. Honest people naturally have the anger of honest people.

"Dad, Brother Lin's family has a big dog. If someone dares to steal something, don't rush up foolishly. Just let the dog bite them. I'll see the dog's size and kill it in one go." Two or three people are probably not a problem!" Jin Yan reminded with a smile, but just as she was talking, she saw Michael come out of the house with his head held high by Ah Xue, and Jin Yan looked at Ah Xue who was about her age. Xue is holding a sauced chicken drumstick, and you are eating it with the dog one bite at a time. The affectionate appearance made Jin Yan feel both prodigal and weird in an instant.

The crowd probably tidied up and rushed out to go shopping, accompanied by Jin Yan. As for the rest of the work in the house, her father naturally cleaned it, and Jin Yan solved the problem of her father's food and clothing. The introduction is very good, and the nimble little mouth wants to spit out new topics like a machine gun.

A place where nearly 10 people live is naturally different from a small gathering place with 6000 to [-] people. Although it cannot be said that there is a huge difference, the difference is still quite huge. Just like the use of electricity, it does not rely entirely on generators. Many solar battery packs obtained from unknown sources are put on the roof by professionals. As long as you pay a part of the installation and wiring costs, the electricity can be used for free. Of course, except for those wealthy families, those who use electricity Basically, the shops are in use. As for the poor, they are poor everywhere, and luxury is always with them!

Before going shopping, Lin Tao and the others listened to Jin Yan's suggestion and took two large carts of rice to the grain station to exchange for [-] catties of food coupons. The only grain station here was set up on Guangzhou Street, a very spacious yard, Behind it is a row of concrete houses used as warehouses, and there are four armed guards taking turns guarding the door.

There is a special food stamp exchange office in the grain station. There are long queues of people outside the eight gates. Most of them come here to exchange rice grains, and a small number of people come to exchange large denomination food stamps. There were no tickets, and there were six huge water tanks in the middle of the courtyard. People carrying kettles and plastic buckets lined up in a long line, using their IDs to receive the drinking water they deserved for the day.

"Sorry ma'am, we don't count the vacuum-packed food such as ham sausage by root or package, we all count by grams after peeling off the skin, and we will have a special jng calculator to calculate your food and other foods The exchange ratio, and the food we also classify, the food that has not deteriorated within the shelf life is considered a high-quality product, the food that has not deteriorated after the shelf life has passed is considered a medium product, and if it has deteriorated but can be barely eaten, it is considered a defective product. We won’t accept things that are completely rotten, and what you get will be meat stamps, not food stamps!”

After throwing half a catty of rice out, the man in the first place immediately gave way to Cao Mei in pleasant surprise, and a young girl in his mouth saw that Cao Mei didn't understand anything, so she politely told her about the situation here But Cao Mei and Jiaojiao, two women who wanted to be housewives, heard nothing but ignorance, so Cao Mei could only frowned and said, "We don't have spoiled food, and spoiled things are even eaten by dogs in our house." If you don’t eat it, just tell me the ratio of meat coupons to food coupons!”

"Food stamps are not divided into grades, and rice and millet are the same. Our high-quality meat stamps have a one-to-five exchange rate for food stamps, medium-grade meat stamps are one-to-four, and inferior goods are one-to-two. As for snacks The exchange rate is more complicated, specifically, it is written on the public notice board at our gate, for example, for a 350-gram can of eight-treasure porridge, you need to exchange double the amount of rice!" The girl gave Cao Mei another ten points With a sweet smile, he held a stack of colorful plastic bills to her, and said, "The food stamps you exchanged totaled [-] catties, and the meat stamps totaled [-] catties. We have already deducted the relevant handling fees. Please check them out." one time!"

Without counting, Cao Mei picked up the food stamps and left, handed the pile of colorful plastic tickets to Lin Tao, and said with a smile: "Master, it's much more convenient now, and there are people who pay for it for free." Use the refrigerator to help us store food, I don’t think we need to put our family’s food here, but we can bring all the meat!”

"Why do you give it to me? It must be a mess to put these things in my place. From now on, you women will take care of them!" Lin Tao shook his head immediately. Just thinking about these housework and other things can make his head dizzy several times. lock up.

"Sister Ru, take it, you are a well-deserved big wife of our family!" Cao Mei turned around and handed the food stamp to Bai Ru, and flattered Bai Ru, who also shook her head and said : "These food stamps are shared by everyone, public and private must be clearly distinguished, how about this, in the future I will be the host and you will be the cashier, I will keep the accounts, and you will be responsible for keeping them, and we will reconcile the accounts every night, so that everyone can rest assured !"

"Sister Ru, what kind of nonsense are you talking about at this time? These foods are completely from your family. Brother Lin let us eat them just now. You ladies can spend them however you like, hehe! As long as you don't starve us Just die!" Zhang Xu waved his hand carelessly, and was just about to light a cigarette when a guard with a gun ran up and told him that smoking was strictly prohibited in the grain depot, otherwise he would be shot on the spot.

Zhang Xu looked at this little guard in his early twenties very tiredly. This guy's face was full of pimples, each of which was shiny and shiny, giving people a feeling that they might explode at any time. But meticulous, serious as if guarding the Tiananmen, this directly reminded Zhang Xu of the recruits he brought with him when he was the squad leader, so after thinking about it, he still didn't care about him, after all, it was not only the food for his family Inside, if it was really set on fire, people in the whole city would fight him desperately.
