Chapter 30 The Great Trough ([-])

In the 32nd year of the Era of Crisis, Song Xiang and Yiyun's daughter Song Shiyun was six years old. The two parents communicated with the neighbors upstairs and downstairs in the community group.

Their small home, allocated by the government, is [-] square meters, with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The largest living room has been converted into a soilless cultivation room.

There are four rows of tempered glass shelves inside, which are divided into 3 floors. The first floor is a fish pond with a height of 1 cm, where some fish and shrimp are raised. The second and third floors are 40-meter-high soilless farmland dedicated to growing rice.

There is also a layer of soil on the aisle in the middle of the shelf, where pumpkins, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are planted.

The housing is 2.8 meters high, all of which have been utilized.

There is also a small room divided into upper and lower floors. The lower part has good lighting conditions, and some chickens and ducks are raised, and the chopped rice stalks are used to grow mushrooms. This room also has layers of water tanks. with bean sprouts.

It seems like a self-sufficient urban farmer.

Of course, the food output of the two houses is not enough to feed a family of three, and part of the food gap comes from community labor.

In this era, a system was restored, and the residents of the community spontaneously formed one micro-miniature government after another.

Just call the neighborhood committee.

The neighborhood committee first applied to the higher authorities for the property rights of all the houses in the community, and then transformed the vacant houses and underground parking lots into indoor farmland, and even built a greenhouse.

The neighborhood committee arranges the labor of the residents, and finally distributes the food produced according to their work. This process is supervised by Suguang to ensure justice to a greater extent.

Seeing Yiyun's shrimp egg custard, Song Xiang came to his daughter's bedroom and asked her to log out of the VR game: Data Blue Star.

"Yunyun, stop playing and eat!"

Seeing that her daughter didn't answer, and her hands were still pinching something, Song Xiang showed a happy and satisfied smile.

Su Guang: "Sir, do you need to close the game?"

"No, Yunyun heard it, be good, come out."

After a while, Xiao Yunyun said: "Ah Zhu, Xiao Qi, see you this afternoon, I'm going to eat."

With the help of her father, Yunyun quickly took off the V suit.

The girl walked in front and asked cheerfully, "Dad, today is my birthday! Can I play with real mud?"

Yiyun taught her a lesson: "Soil is very precious, Xiao Yunyun, don't flush it into the sewer like she did when she was a child."

"Well, Yunyun knows, she was ignorant at the time, and her butt was beaten badly, and I still remember how painful it was."

"That's because you pulled out all the sweet potato seedlings and rice that your parents worked so hard to grow. If Shuguang hadn't alerted us in time, you would have been drowned. It would be strange not to beat you."

So the soilless cultivation room has a password, so the couple no longer go out to work together.

"Come on, Yunyun, eat egg custard."

"I heard that the neighborhood committee plans to have a cow. Hundreds of households will feed it with sweet potato vines and pumpkin vines. It should be affordable. Next year we will accumulate some milk quota and make a cake for Yunyun."

"Well, thank you, Mom and Dad!"

The happy little Yunyun looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, feeling a little lost for a moment: "Father, Mom, I have never been out of the community, nor have I seen the blue sky, white clouds, or stars in the night sky..."

"Does the beautiful world in the game really exist?"

Evian touched the child's little head, and said comfortingly: "It used to exist, and it should exist in the future. Suguang Company is calling on all countries to stop development and rebuild the beautiful ecology of Blue Star."

Song Xiang touched his wife with his arm, and whispered: "Don't talk about this heavy topic with your children."

"Dad, I know, I know, I heard it when the big friends in the game talked about it. They said that Suguang Technology Company is the ETO and surrender faction that betrayed mankind. Why?"

Oh, because of political correctness.

The overwhelming public opinion on the Internet cannot reflect the real thoughts of the people, because public opinion is completely controlled. If you want to post a message to support Suguang, you will find that you can post it but no one can see it.

Song Xiang remembered that last month, someone in the community was dragged into Orange Education for a few days. When he came back, he didn't say anything, but just shook his head and pointed to the smart products around him, making a gesture of smacking his mouth.

He shook his head, not wanting to talk about this dangerous topic. Anyone who dares to talk about protecting the environment and preventing the country from developing industries is an ETO member and an anti-human being.

Instead, Yiyun said: "Little Yunyun, don't listen to other people's opinions, read more philosophy books, and when you grow up, you will be able to distinguish right from wrong in the world."

Xiao Yunyun nodded seriously: "Well, Mom, I will study hard, in order to obtain a college diploma, and to play games every day without a time limit!"

……

While washing dishes in the kitchen, the two talked in a low voice: "Besides our family, there are many households whose food rations have been cancelled. It seems that the food problem has become more serious."

Yiyun said: "Arable land has been reduced to [-] million mu. In the past two years, we have been eating food reserves. Our country has not yet experienced large-scale famine. Compared with other countries, it is already very good."

"It's really a terrible time. I heard that there are no more people in Black Africa, and they have been abandoned by the international community."

"Is there any way not to abandon them? We can't even feed ourselves, so we don't have the energy to manage their lives."

"Some countries go fishing in the deep sea, make cans and send them to the people, and even dig out the algae in the sea for people to eat!"

There are many types of seaweed that are edible and highly nutritious.

"My God, wouldn't that destroy Blue Star's oxygen cycle? And it's easy to be poisoned, after all, the pollution is so serious now!"

"Is there any way? It's better than starving to death. Besides, there are artificial green lungs now. Even if the green vegetation is dead, humans can also produce oxygen. The problems that industry can solve are not problems."

After thinking about it, Song Xiang decided to change a topic that is closely related to the daily life of the family: "I heard from the old man downstairs that representatives from the city are discussing whether to resume utility bills."

"Ah! We have no money! Could it be that they want to rob us of food!" Yiyun's mind turned quickly.

"Probably, the uncle said that there are two plans in the city. One is to restore the water and electricity bills. The prices are very low, and they are not charged at ordinary times. They just use this as an excuse to charge you one-tenth of your three-month grain production. , at most once a year."

"What about the second?"

"The second is more direct. Our seeds and nutrient solutions are all provided by the government. Every time we apply for these materials, we have to pay 5.00% of the food for a quarter as a fee."

Evian said: "Isn't it clear that we should choose the first plan? The second one will cost [-]% more."

Song Xiang shook his head and said, "We have no choice, the representative will make the choice between the two plans on our behalf."

Yiyun said angrily: "Isn't this bullying people? The constitution stipulates that all state-owned assets belong to all the people, so why is there a charge? It's hard enough for us to just survive, but we also need to support a bunch of waste who don't do anything?"

She was so angry that she didn't think about the reasoning behind it.
