C21 Resources per capita

Scratching his ears, he immediately heard Hu Yongqiang clearing his throat, "I will gather the people tomorrow morning. Brothers, get ready. "Just do as I said."

...

When my legs were numb from all the squatting, they finally started to walk out from the corner in front one after another. When they were walking past the bush that Chen Ming and I were hiding in, Hu Yongqiang suddenly stopped and looked left and right before asking, "Strange, why do I feel that there's someone else here?"

Long Zi looked around, then said: "Brother Hu, don't be too sensitive, no one lives in the last two rows of houses, other than us, how could those cowards come here."

"However, I don't know if there are people living in the last two rows. Even when I came back during the day, they still felt gloomy." The one who spoke was Lu Hao.

As their footsteps grew further and further away, I finally heaved a sigh of relief. I asked Chen Ming, "What did they mean by those words just now?"

Chen Ming did not immediately reply me, he only stared at my face.

Being stared at by him made me feel a little embarrassed. I touched my face. "What are you looking at?"

Chen Ming pursed his lips: "Get up!"

Only after he reminded me did I realize that my entire body was lying on top of Chen Ming's legs.

...

When Chen Ming and I went back home, the others had already arrived. Mom and Dad also carried a basin of washed sheets to the courtyard to hang.

Seeing that Grandma was helping out from the outside, I quickly gathered the others and went to the room on the second floor to talk about what Chen Ming and I heard today.

After hearing my repeated words, Sun Miao frowned. "Are they preparing to declare their sovereignty?"

"Does that even need to be said? I say, they might think that we have too many people and want to chase us all away! " Chou Chou was a little excited.

"It shouldn't be able to drive people away right? After all, if we all leave, there won't be any benefits for them. It's not like they don't understand that an empty courtyard like this is similar to a tomb when it's devoid of people. " As I said before, Lin Wei is a girl with very clear thoughts.

"Right now, regardless of what happens to them, just based on the words we said today, we know that tomorrow will definitely not be a good day. We have to prepare for it!" "No," Kiki said.

Hearing this, Xu Yiwen looked at his sister with a little amusement. "Oh, then tell me, what do you think we should do?"

"This …" Qi Qi, who had a brave face just now, immediately turned terrified. After thinking for a while, she looked at Chen Ming again, "You … Is there a way? "

"We'll see about that tomorrow." Just as Chen Ming finished speaking, his mother's voice came from downstairs, "Where is this person? Where did everyone run off to?! "

...

The next morning, every family received a notice to go to the park's small square to gather.

We left Mom at home to take care of Grandmother and Tian Tian, and we all followed the rest of the group to the square.

On the way, a few of the deli people who washed clothes yesterday morning asked my father, "We didn't know what to do so early in the morning, but they already gathered us all together."

My father shook his head. "I'm not sure."

Probably because nothing like this had ever happened before, dozens of people arrived after half an hour.

"Quiet!" Everyone, quiet down! Big Brother Hu has something he wants to say to everyone! " Following Cheng Liang's words, the crowd gradually quietened down. It wasn't because everyone thought so, but because the ten or so people under Hu Yongqiang's command had all walked out of the crowd and stood in front of us.

Hu Yongqiang raised his hand, his face still carrying the same official smile as yesterday, extremely fake: "Today, the reason we gathered everyone here, is to say a few things, we all know … Recently, the number of people we have is increasing. We all have a heart of gold, we can't bear to kick out those who came here to wander around! We brothers are naturally supportive as well, but this … "Everyone needs to eat and drink. Even if it's just a roll of toilet paper, we brothers will have to go out and risk our lives in search of it …"

Hu Yongqiang paused for a moment, he glanced at the unusually quiet crowd and spoke: "So … After some discussion, from today onwards, we have come to a decision! Resource sharing per capita! As for sharing, we might have to explain it to everyone here. Everyone here has to eat and consume, but we can't afford to keep idle people. If you want to eat, if you want to obtain supplies, you have to pay a price! "

The crowd was restless for a moment, but very quickly Cheng Liang yelled out.

"If anyone has any objections... All I can do is endure. " Hu Yongqiang laughed, "After all, for the sake of us, a large group, to survive, it is impossible to let everything be fair. Then... Does anyone else have any objections? "

Some of the men present seemed to be dissatisfied. They wanted to ask about the matter, but they were all stopped by someone standing beside them.

Hu Yongqiang and the others looked at the crowd below with satisfaction: "Since you have no objections, then it's for the best. We don't have many brothers, so we can't go all out in the future. After all, we need to stay behind to protect everyone, so … "Today, we are going to choose a group of men from among the men present to join the team that is out looking for supplies."

After saying that, I immediately furrowed my brows. Xiao Yu whispered to me, "How is this joining them? It's clearly them leaving such a dangerous job to someone else!"

I nodded and didn't answer.

Then their men began to make their way through the crowd, and those who did had to follow them out in the afternoon.

Some of them protested that they should at least learn how to deal with undeads before leaving the house, but they were stopped by a simple sentence: "When the time comes, you will know how to chop them."

Chen Ming, Sun Miao, Chou Chou, Xu Yiwen, all of them were called out.

Probably because my father is old, when Pan Zi pointed it out to my father, he turned around and glanced at me. After grinning for a bit, he turned around and walked away.

I have to say, this made me heave a huge sigh of relief.

Some of the remaining people were assigned to wash the bedsheets of the men who had left the house, as well as to cook for them.

The rest were divided up to reclaim all the planted space in a few parks.

It has to be said that if we weren't forced to do this, this division of labor would be a pretty good way of surviving, almost as good as we thought it would be.

Xiao Yu and I were assigned to do laundry while Lin Wei and Qi Qi were assigned to farm.

Fortunately, my mom and grandma didn't come, and it seemed like other people had left my mom and grandma out, so they could stay at home peacefully.

It could be said that those who went out risked their lives in exchange for a relatively high 'social status' among so many people …

At least they didn't need to wash their own clothes or cook their own meals.

We can't deny that Hu Yongqiang and the rest of them took this opportunity to think of us as girls.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Ming and the others were brought out of the house, and the cars that we drove in were expropriated as well. It was only then that I realised that it wasn't that they had missed out on Grandma and Mom, but they had tacitly allowed us to use the few cars that we brought to cancel Grandma and Mom's labor.

After Chen Ming and the others left, Xiao Yu and I were assigned a mission. Zhang Ping and I were assigned to the same group, and when I saw her, my eyes turned red, I remember that her husband Bao Ming was also assigned to the same team.

When he saw Xiao Yu and I, Zhang Ping wiped away his tears, saying that no one was watching our child, and adding that he was worried about his husband going out, he started to cry while covering his mouth.

Seeing this, I hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my mother and grandmother are at home. You can send the child over for them to watch."

After Zhang Ping thanked him a million times, she found a chance to slip away and return home to take the two children that were locked away to my mother's place to look after them.

When we returned, we had already started washing clothes. Seeing that Zhang Ping had returned, I put down what I was doing and asked, "What did my mother say?"

Zhang Ping finally smiled through her tears: "Auntie's people are as good as you are! Willing to take care of two children for me. "

I patted Zhang Ping's shoulders and comforted him: "Then that's good. Alright, let's hurry up and work, who knows how long it will take those people to change, they are so dirty, and are so big."

There isn't much work to do, but it's really tiring when doing it. The seven or eight of us spent an entire afternoon washing so many clothes, and in the end, some of us even said that Hu Yongqiang and the rest had almost come back by then, so we had no choice but to draw a few people out to quickly cook.

Finally, only Xiao Yu and I and two other women were left to do the laundry.

The two women must have lived in the neighborhood before, and from the looks of it, they were used to having a happy life. Although they gritted their teeth and persevered, they were too tired to lift their clothes.

Finally, when all of us were seeing stars, all of our work was done. As we were staggering back home, we coincidentally bumped into Hu Yongqiang and the rest of the team.

Xiao Yu and I simply listened to where we were, and waited for Chen Ming and the rest. The carriage stopped beside us, and Chen Ming and Sun Miao got off the carriage one after another.

After they got off, Hu Yongqiang reminded them that he was going to eat at their place before driving away.

I couldn't bear the exhaustion in my body anymore, so I squatted on the ground while supporting myself with a tree, and raised my head to ask: "What's wrong with Chou Chou?"

Glancing at him, Xu Yiwen opened his mouth: "I'm scared." He looked around and asked, "Where's Kiki?"

I pointed in the direction of the house. "He should have gone back already."

After replying, Xu Yiwen was ready to walk back. Just as he turned around, he seemed to remember something, he looked at Xiao Yu and asked: Do you need help?

After Xu Yiwen and the others left, only Chen Ming remained by my side. After raising my head and staring at him for a while, I thought of it and asked, "How about I show some mercy and agree to let you help me?"
