Chapter 196 A Red Territory
Pei Yanning sighed when he saw that they didn't want to cause trouble for others.
"If I starve you guys, my boss will be angry with me.
These sweet potatoes are grown by ourselves, you can eat them first, and I will ask our factory director and the canteen later, what should we do? There must be a plan. "
Although this group of people are pure, they are not fools. It is already the limit for Pei Yanning to take out these things openly.
Now that this group of people had food, they devoted themselves to their research, fearing that if they didn't work harder and be more serious, they would be letting the food down.
In the afternoon, a few more veterans were sent over by the Security Department.
However, apart from Gu Qingnan who was alone with the old master on his back, the other two were with their spouses, and their spouses also had their eldest grandson.
It's okay for adults, but it's impossible to let children be placed together with those researchers in the institute.
Pei Yanning opened the utility room next to the small meeting room.
It was called a storage room, but it was filled with some broken tables, chairs, and benches, with a few brooms and other things, and the remaining space was enough for them to settle down.
As for the family members...
Pei Yanning didn't let them sit idle, and took the opportunity to arrange the trivial matters in the small meeting room.
Temporarily ask them to help with boiling water, cooking, cleaning and logistics.
Make sure there are three meals a day so that the researchers in the small conference room next door can have hot meals. It doesn’t need to be too much, just make sure everyone is 70% to 80% full at each meal.
When the two ladies heard that even their meals were taken care of, how could they not be reluctant? They happily agreed and worked very diligently.
After all, the three meals a day include their food.
There's a lot of water outside and the food at home is almost gone. We'd better save some trouble. Who knows what the situation will be like in the future!
With the help of several young people such as Gu Qingnan, Pei Yu, Zhao Jianan, etc. from time to time, Pei Yanning's family of nearly 30 people live a well-organized life. Except for the fact that it rains every day and the sound of rain is heard everywhere when they open their eyes or close them, it is even more comfortable than when they were at work before.
Zheng Bingtian came over when it was already dark.
Under the light of the office, his tired face looked particularly haggard.
When he arrived, Pei Yanning and the others had already had dinner.
Lingxi and Gu Si were chatting around the stove, and roasting chestnuts and sweet potatoes in the brazier. Pei Yanning sent some roasted sweet potatoes to the next door, and when he came back, he rubbed the diapers in the basin.
In the meeting room next door, the lights were also on, and the people inside were discussing something, and from time to time they would argue until their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
Zheng Bing looked at this scene and was stunned for a moment, as if his soul was cleansed. As he watched, he began to smile.
He turned around to look at Pei Yanning, who was wringing out a handful of mustard seeds and hanging them on a makeshift drying line, and joked, "You are living a godly life here."
I don’t know what kind of chaos it is outside.
He and several other leaders in the factory were all so busy that they were exhausted. Only Pei Yanning, who didn't care about anything except his own little piece of land, could relax.
Pei Yanning washed his hands and took the person to his room.
"Drink a bowl of porridge, corn porridge with brown sugar in it. My daughter asked me to cook it. It's cold this day, and I'm going in and out all the time. I'll use it to keep the cold away."
Zheng Bing didn't bother to be polite with them. He brought an enamel pot for entertaining guests, and Lingxi also handed him a hot roasted sweet potato.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere in the room was too good, but Zheng Bing's expression also relaxed. He didn't tell Pei Yanning about the situation outside behind their backs.
"We made preparations in advance. Although the relocation and resettlement took a lot of effort, nothing went wrong. It's just that... our factory is starting to run out of food."
Food was not abundant to begin with.
When the canteen was first opened, a large amount of food was produced.
The supply was obviously limited later, but the gap has always been there. The embarrassing thing now is that the second month's food has not arrived yet, and this month's food is about to be eaten up, but there was still room for maneuver in between.
Can--
It's raining!
It was all flooded outside.
Even if you have a hundred ideas, there is nothing you can do in this small piece of land.
Pei Yanning frowned: "How much food is left in the cafeteria?" Zheng Bing shook his head, his expression hard to describe: "Even if we save it, it will only be enough for five days at most. What will we do after we finish it?"
The month isn’t even halfway over yet!
I don't dare show it to anyone at the moment. Once everyone knows that there is no food in the factory, I don't know what kind of chaos it will be.
Pei Yanning frowned.
There are tens of thousands of people in the factory.
If each person eats one pound a day, that would be tens of thousands of pounds. How much less can it be?
This is really hard to do...
But at this moment, someone suddenly spoke.
"Well... I know where there is food."
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes in the direction where the sound came from.
Zheng Bing's attention was instantly drawn.
However, when he saw the person who was speaking, an expression of disappointment immediately appeared on his face.
"Whose child is this?" He asked casually, but he had no hope in his heart.
Zhou Yang pinched the corner of his clothes and said nervously, "I know there is a sweet potato field nearby. The sweet potatoes haven't been dug yet and I don't know who planted them."
Zheng Bing stood up quickly: "Really? Where?"
No matter who planted it, the sweet potatoes will definitely rot if they are soaked like this.
Now is the time to save lives again...
Zhou Yang clenched his hands and looked at Pei Yanning, his nervousness becoming more and more obvious.
Pei Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Go ahead." Now that I've said this, how can I swallow it back?
"It's right behind the factory. There's a piece of vacant land behind the cemetery. It's a huge piece of sweet potatoes, at least six or seven acres!"
Since he couldn't get food to eat, he ran to that place to steal two. If it weren't for that sweet potato field, he would have died somewhere long ago!
Zheng Bing was instantly excited: "Who is so cunning! Planting it in a graveyard?"
What is a cemetery?
Although feudal superstitions have been eradicated, people still have some awe in their hearts when facing gods and ghosts, and they will not go there easily. If there is some noise at night, such as ghosts or will-o'-the-wisp, no one will be willing to go there.
Coincidentally, the cemetery on the back hill has always been a bit of a "legend" in the factory.
Zheng Bing was so excited that he could not wait any longer. He stood up and walked out: "I will take someone to take a look."
Looking so impetuous!
No matter whether it is late at night or not, I don’t feel tired at all!
Gu Qingnan, who had been trying hard not to reveal anything in the room, said: "..."
He was so heartbroken that he was sobbing.
They only dug up so many sweet potatoes from less than half an acre of land.
Thinking that there are still tens of thousands of pounds left that are about to fly away before my eyes...
Gu Qingnan feels heartbroken, so heartbroken!
But when he turned around, he saw Pei Yanning, who seemed to be smiling. He chuckled and scratched his head: "If I say it wasn't planted by me, would you believe me?"
Everyone: "..."
Do you think we believe it or not?
Pei Yanning coughed and said, "No matter who planted this grain or why, this batch of grain can save countless lives in the factory. This is a great achievement."
Gu Qingnan's heart moved, as if he understood something.
But at this moment——
There was a cry coming from far and near, a creepy kind.
