Chapter 102 Sleepless Night
It was a sleepless night.
It's not that it's very cold tonight. In fact, it's quite the opposite. The new residential building has heating supply. Not only the rooms, but also the corridors outside are warm.
Friends who have stayed in the north know how drowsy it can be to stay in a warm bedroom on a winter night.
But today is the first day of moving into a new house, to be precise, the first night, because the moving work only started in the afternoon.
After lunch, the employees were informed that today's training was suspended and they spent the entire afternoon counting rental intentions. If they could decide, they could move into the new house in advance.
This intention includes how many people will live together, what kind of house they will live in, and which furniture to choose. For example, the most common bed, you can choose a single bed of 1.2 meters, or a double bed of 1.5 meters or 1.8 meters.
Of course, bunk beds with iron frames are also an option.
Furniture, like a house, also needs to be rented. It is settled every month. The guiding principle is to rent according to current needs, and advance preparation is not recommended.
In order to help you make a decision, all units on the third, fourth, and fifth floors of a building have been placed with different furniture in advance and arranged into model rooms suitable for various needs. You can freely pass through the spacious and bright stairwells.
Enter the model house to visit.
After a period of literacy classes at night school, the employees of Daming Department Store have now learned simple operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and most of them can also recognize hundreds of commonly used simplified Chinese characters, so they are now getting together to discuss renting a house.
"Brother Zhang, look at the four of us brothers, why don't we share a single room together?" A young man wearing camouflage training uniform said to a person in the same attire next to him.
"Okay, anyway, we eat in the canteen now and don't have to cook. We can save some money by working together. I heard that if you save enough money, you can buy a house in the future. You won't have to worry about marrying a wife in the future."
"Congratulations, Brother Zhang! Then let's quickly go to the company commander to register."
Of course, not everyone is willing to join others. For example, the Guo brothers were originally small landowners in the countryside of Liaodong. When the Tatars invaded, they broke up their family, and they were the only two people left in the family. They fled with everyone else.
To the capital.
After the Guo brothers were lucky enough to be selected by Li Xiaobing to become the first batch of refugees, although they lived a stable life in the base, the dormitories were all bunk beds, and dozens of people lived in one room. At night, there were snores everywhere.
, the two brothers were noisy and sleep deprived every night.
Now that they had the opportunity, the two brothers unanimously chose to rent a single room separately.
"Brother, do you think we can have a single room each, and the salary is okay?" The younger brother felt a little unsure.
"Definitely enough. I asked the company commander, and he said that although the salary standards have not been announced yet, the higher-ups have said that if we rent a house by ourselves, the price will be much cheaper. Even if we rent a three-bedroom apartment each, the salary will be the same.
It’s enough, but there’s just not much money left.”
"Oh, that's great. That way we can keep renting and don't have to buy a house."
"Fool, there are discounts for renting and buying a house. If you have a chance, it's better to buy a house. If you rent a house, you can rent it for decades and the rent will be enough to buy a house."
"Brother, you are still smart. Then we can get a single room together and rent less furniture."
"I think it's okay. Let's go to the manager to register. Which floor do you like?" the elder brother said, dragging his younger brother to find the leader.
Because there were more houses, everyone quickly chose their favorite house. Zhang Yan, the only person who had mastered the ability to access items from the system space, was extremely busy. She took the list of statistics and placed them in each room.
furniture.
There is no dedicated strategic warehouse for furniture, so it can only be transferred through the system's portable space, from the underground warehouse of the base to the residential building. Currently, the system's portable space is only the size of 10 standard containers, and Zhao Ming has not expanded the capacity for a long time.
Fortunately, there are not many furniture needed in the house, that is, beds, tables and chairs, etc. One trip can solve the problem of furniture placement on two or three floors. In addition, those who choose lower floors can also use three elevators.
and spacious stairs to carry furniture by yourself.
Even so, after turning around hundreds of houses, Zhang Yan felt dizzy and about to faint.
After all registered furniture applications have been allocated, the light-sensing solar street lights in the community will automatically light up.
This is probably the first place in the world with all-night public lighting. Of course, for the first batch of employees who moved from the base, this was already familiar.
The lights in the Guo brothers' room were brightly lit, and they were still immersed in the excitement of moving into their new home.
"Brother, this mattress is so comfortable. I don't want to get up when I lie down."
"What's so strange about that thing? You can lie down on it every day from now on. Come here quickly. I didn't expect that the night view of the base is quite beautiful from the outside." My brother stood on the balcony, looking towards the direction of the base.
The two brothers were more discerning and chose a single room on the 29th floor. The balcony faced east and the view was very good.
"Come here, come here, let me take a look." The younger brother quickly jumped up from the bed and ran to the balcony. "Hey, why are there so many people in the base? I thought everyone had moved here."
"Our group has already moved here, and the people in the base now should be the second batch recruited. I heard what the company commander said when I was moving things in the afternoon."
"By the way, brother, you said there are four buildings next to it, so you don't have to worry about having no place to live. Why don't they recruit more people?"
"I heard that the four buildings haven't been completed yet, but they will be there soon. It's only happened in the past few days. Besides, you think recruiting people is such a simple matter. The logistics department... No, we should call the property management company now. They
We don’t have enough manpower and it’s too busy.”
"Brother, do you think we are dreaming? It has only been a month. Before, we were still refugees. We had no food, no clothing, and we might starve to death or freeze to death one day. Now we can live in such a good place.
We live in a house with endless food every day. This...this kind of life was something I couldn’t even dream of before.”
"Oh, yes." My brother sighed and continued, "Thanks to Immortal Zhao. If Immortal Zhao hadn't come down to earth, how would we have the right to see these things."
"And Miss Li Xiaobing, if it weren't for her, we would still be living in tents at the rescue station in the capital."
"Well, but don't forget, now we, like Miss Li, are all working for Immortal Zhao. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to Immortal Zhao, I will not forgive him."
