Chapter 59

After a brief two-week adjustment, the weather seems to have entered summer directly, with the temperature reaching the mid-twenties.

Xiaomi's store has new varieties again.

Cabbage: Edible, one leaf, five primary crystal nuclei.

Potatoes: Edible, one catty, three primary crystal nuclei.

Ordinary aloe vera: edible, one leaf, eight primary crystal nuclei.

Level [-] aloe vera: can strengthen the heart and lower blood pressure, one leaf, ten secondary crystal nuclei.

Coconut: can be eaten as milk, very suitable for infants and young children, one, ten primary crystal nuclei.

The prices of the new varieties are very affordable, and the business in the store is very good every day. Yan Xiaomi adjusted the arrangement of the store's goods. The second floor has been used as her resting place before.

Now vacate the second floor, re-arrange a few rows of shelves and glass display cabinets, and move all the products with special bead effects to the second floor. After all, these things are not used every day, and there are many edible products on the first floor every day. Buying and placing them separately for classification makes it more convenient for buyers and sellers.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of winter, there are many pregnant women with big bellies among the crowd at the base. When they come to buy things, many people suggest to the shop assistant that they hope the boss can plant more coconut trees, because they are afraid that they will give birth to their own children. The nutrition can't keep up with the lack of milk, so I can only rely on coconut milk.

Gao Lili told them that coconut meat is actually a good food for breastfeeding, and they can eat more after giving birth. She also showed them the analysis of coconut nutrition in the base laboratory. The pregnant women were overjoyed.

Yan Xiaomi is very busy. She has to plant the land, harvest, and raise seedlings for the base. Sometimes the store is too busy and she has to go to help. Now she is planning to open a bookstore again, so she has to recruit people quickly.

This time she is not going to find acquaintances. There are many teenagers in the base, either orphans or single-parent families living in difficulties, and she can find them from these people.

The bookstore needs at least two people, another store needs four, and at least fifteen people are needed for farming and tidying up the fields. Let's make up the whole number and recruit twenty people.

The work in the field is not heavy physical labor. The work of digging the ground is under Xiaomei's command. The plants in the house directly use the roots to make the soil soft and fluffy. There is no need for people to dig the soil. The main thing is to sow and clear the ripe melons Fruit and grain work.

Like potatoes and sweet potatoes, once they are ripe, they will dig out the fruits buried in the soil and expose them to the outside. You only need to pick them up together, and Xiaozhu Yan will go and receive them in the warehouse.

Summer orange, sorghum, cotton, and cabbage need to be picked more troublesome. Although the trees and plants grow taller, Xiaomei can let them lower their branches and pick them while standing on the ground. transport.

Coconuts are very strong anyway, and when they are ripe, they will fall from the tall trees by themselves. Just be careful not to get hit when picking them up.

I remembered that in the cold winter, although there were plants to help pick them automatically, so much work was done by myself, and it was very tiring to do it. Now that the weather is warm, I can finally find someone to do it.

The three earthen buildings on the outskirts of the base are the most densely populated places in the entire base, where many families living in difficulties and single men and women live.

Early in the morning, before everyone went to work, Yan Xiaomi went directly to the staff in charge of managing this area, expressing that he wanted to recruit 16 people over the age of ten (inclusive) and under the age of [-] (inclusive). Boy, male or female, let him announce on the radio.

All the base staff knew Yan Xiaomi, and when they heard that she was looking for a job, they all wanted to apply for it by themselves.

But when she heard her conditions, it was clear that she wanted to help those half-grown children who had difficulties in life, and she was indeed a living Bodhisattva.

Some of the people living in the earthen building were eating breakfast, and some were suffering from borborygmi and waited until later to eat. It was enough to survive starvation after two meals a day.

When they heard on the radio that the owner of Xiaomi's store wanted to recruit people, everyone was excited.

If there are children aged 16 to [-] at home, hurry up and urge the children to gather at the management office, maybe they will be spotted by Boss Yan.

Wang Rui and Wang Lina are brother and sister. The elder brother is 13 years old and the younger sister is seven years old. They escaped from the city with their parents when the apocalypse broke out.

I originally followed the fleeing team to the north, but encountered several large-scale zombie attacks in the middle, and broke up with my parents in the chaotic crowd. They couldn't find them, and they didn't know whether their parents were dead or alive, so they followed the crowd Wandering to a base called the Tigers.

The tiger base has a clear hierarchy. In addition to the various officers of the base, there are also many mercenary groups and powerful supernatural beings. They live in houses, have food and drink, behave very domineeringly, and often bully men and women.

Ordinary people without strong family members can only shrink in shantytowns built with tents or wooden boards and plastic sheets. When they see them, they will hide and go away, so as not to be unhappy, and a beating is a light one.

The two brothers and sisters were born very well, the elder brother was handsome and handsome, the younger sister was pretty and cute, and helpless, even though she had turned herself into a dirty little beggar, she still attracted the attention of a few evil-minded people and supernatural beings.

The intentions of the bad guys were noticed by the kind-hearted people who knew the brothers and sisters. They informed them in advance and helped them get on a mercenary squad truck that left Tiger Base and headed for Rising Sun Base. It was already early winter.

When they came here, the base first gave them a thick cotton coat free of charge to those who were blue and purple from the cold, gave them a clean room with a heating stove, and lent them quilts and food, even though they needed their own Going to pick up firewood for warmth, compared to the previous life of being homeless, poorly clothed, hungry, and worried every day, this place is simply a paradise.

The two brothers and sisters are young and have no skills. After the cold winter, they can only plant trees. Because of their lack of strength, the income from planting trees every day can only maintain the needs of life, and there is almost no surplus.

The points owed to the base must be repaid. Although the base does not require a time limit for returning them because they are underage, they are still worried that they will be kicked out of the base if they owe too long. Severely malnourished.

Yan Xiaomi looked at the more than fifty children in line, some of them looked very young, maybe ten years old at all, and said to the staff beside him: "Look at these children, which ones have parents at home?" ?”

The staff looked at them for a while, and shouted to those children: "Those who have fathers and mothers, they didn't hear the conditions just said, stand up on their own initiative, don't let me call names."

Hearing this, seven or eight young men and women left the team blushing and embarrassed, and fifty others continued to be excluded.

"If you are not accompanied by your parents, please stand to the right." Yan Xiaomi said, watching them.

Wang Rui walked out of the team with his younger sister, and moved a few steps to the right.

There were fourteen children standing on the right, the oldest was 15 years old, and the youngest three were at most eight or nine years old. Maybe they must be younger than ten years old. Yan Xiaomi looked at them and said nothing.

Wang Rui plucked up the courage to take the initiative to stand up, "Sister Xiaomi, my sister is only seven years old, not enough for you to be ten years old, but she is very good and capable, and can help with many things. If you can use her, just give her food. No wages required."

Seeing this, the other two young children also stood up, saying that they were under their age and did not need wages, as long as they had food.

When we met for the first time, Wang Rui gave Yan Xiaomi a good impression. He was a smart, sensible and honest child who would protect his younger sister at a young age, just like her and her brother when they were young.

In the end, in addition to the 23 orphans, after careful verification from the staff, nine children from single-parent families whose life was really difficult were recruited, and a total of [-] were recruited.

For the three younger ones, just follow along and do some light work that children can do, and she will take care of the needs of life.

In rural areas, children in their [-]s and [-]s help the family with work everywhere. Only through labor income will they know how to cherish it.
