It's dawn.

Half past seven in the morning.

In the trading market commercial area, there was another long queue outside store No. 2.

These survivors come here every morning,

Use points to buy the staple food you need for the day.

It tastes best when it's freshly baked in the morning.

Shop No. 2 mainly sells corn tortillas, sweet potato tortillas, and multigrain tortillas.

Among them, corn tortillas and sweet potato tortillas are sold at the same price, both costing 0.25 points each.

The dried biscuits are very solid and can basically satisfy an adult man for one meal.

These cakes are added with a small amount of sugar, cooking oil, and some dried vegetables.

In addition, the sales price is extremely low, and it has been well received by many survivors.

It is also the main food for survivors in the current trading bazaar.

Store No. 2 has six windows, and now five are open.

The window was sealed with glass and there was only a hole about 30cm x 30cm in the middle.

Window No. 1.

After the man in front left,

Hong Lele quickly walked up, took out a white number plate from his pocket and handed it over.

"Hello, I'd like a corn tortilla and a sweet potato pancake, thank you."

The staff inside the window picked up the number plate and handed it to the person next to him to deduct the corresponding points.

Then I used a tong to pick up a piece of corn tortilla, and then picked up a piece of potato pancake, and pushed it to the window.

"There are no bags today, you can just take it."

When Hong Lele heard this, he had no choice but to reach out and take out a piece of cloth from his arms and wrap the two pieces of cake.

"OK."

The staff inside also deducted points and handed out Hong Lele's number plate.

"A total of 0.5 points, the balance is 23.2 points, this is the list, keep it."

Hong Lele took the list ticket and number plate, confirmed the numbers on the ticket, nodded and said:

"OK, thanks."

Then she left with a list, ticket, and number plate in one hand and a tortilla wrapped in a rag in the other.

The temperature has dropped a lot in recent days.

In the morning it was only over ten degrees Celsius, which was a bit cold.

The tortillas had just come out of the oven and were still warm. She put the tortillas in her arms and felt the warmth in her arms. She felt an indescribable sense of solidity and walked quickly towards the living area.

It's still early, the gate of the trading market has not yet opened, and the construction site has not started yet.

But we have to gather and get ready at eight o'clock.

Ever since my father Hong Fu was injured after falling down at a construction site, he has not recovered yet.

After a hundred days of straining his muscles and bones, Hongfu suffered a fracture, so he still needed to recuperate.

However, you can still save your life after falling from the construction site building, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.

And because the accident occurred on a construction site, Oil City waived their treatment costs.

Hong Fu has been discharged from the hospital in the past two days, but his bones are still recovering and he cannot return to work at the construction site.

Without work, there will be no points and nothing will happen.

They didn't save many points to begin with,

Staying in the trading market will consume points every day.

Points are required for food, drink and accommodation, and the remaining points are getting less and less.

Hong Fu's inspector Zhang Shi took pity on their father and daughter, so he signed up Hong Lele for the construction of a buffer city and gave her a place.

When Hong Lele learned about it, she was overjoyed.

In the past, her father was her supporter, but now that her father is injured, she can still support her.

She was in a hurry, she had to deliver the tortillas to her father quickly, and then she had to rush to the square to gather, and then they went out of the city to work on the buffer city wall construction site.

These two pieces of cake are both for my father.

She had a meal package at the construction site and would hand out corn tortillas to the workers when they arrived at the square.

Walking quickly in small steps, she returned to the residential area 7 minutes later.

"Good morning, Uncle Liu." Hong Lele returned to his residence and saw Liu Shengsheng.

Liu Shengsheng and his father Hong Fu are close friends. The last time his father was injured, when Oil City did not announce that they would be exempted from treatment costs, Uncle Liu took the initiative to use all his points to help them.

It can be seen that a friend in need is a friend indeed.

What's more, in this kind of apocalypse, it is even more precious and rare.

Liu Shengsheng just got up and nodded when he saw Hong Lele and said with a smile:

"Buying cakes for your dad again?"

"Yeah, you have to go early, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with work." Hong Lele placed the pancake on his father's bedside.

Hong Fu was still sleeping, and Hong Lele did not wake him up.

After she simply tidied up, she walked to the square with Liu Shengsheng.

The building of the previous trading bazaar has been completed, but other projects in the trading bazaar have not yet been completed.

When Liu Shengsheng and Hong Lele arrived at the meeting point in the square, thousands of workers had already gathered in the square.

Several pickup trucks loaded with hot pancakes were at the front, distributing pancakes to the workers.

When working on a construction site, I have to take care of myself twice.

Give one piece of cake before starting work and one piece of cake at noon.

After work in the evening, give each of them 0.5 to 1 point.

Depending on the type of work, the points awarded are also different.

There are many types of work, such as carpentry, masonry, steel workers, concrete workers, crane workers, electricians, mechanics, surveyors, waterproofers, shelf workers, handymen, etc.

Jobs like handyman generally only have 0.5 points.

High-risk jobs such as scaffolding that require standing at high places are worth 0.8 points per day.

The jobs with the highest points generally require relatively high technical content and cannot be done by ordinary newcomers.

For example, formworkers or crane workers earn higher points.

Hong Lele is a newcomer in the construction industry, so she can only start as a handyman and receive the minimum 0.5 points per day.

However, Hong Lele is already very satisfied with this.

"Newcomers, hurry up and get the tortillas. We will leave the city in fifteen minutes." Ding Wu shouted with a loudspeaker.

Upon hearing this, Hong Lele hurried to the pickup truck to get the tortillas.

She took the hot tortillas and walked to the side with Liu Shengsheng.

Eating the tortilla in small bites.

The tortillas were warm, and having a hot bite in the morning made her extremely satisfied.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Life is getting better.

At this time, she was as happy as a little hamster, squinting her eyes when she smiled.

Among a group of rough men, she, a teenage girl, squinted her eyes and smiled, like a beam of light.

She took a few bites, took out a bottle of water from her small backpack, took a few sips, and then continued eating tortillas.

In the gloomy morning, she had a longing for a better future and a small sense of happiness in her heart.

The journey has not been easy.

After the death of her family, only she and her father were left.

When her father fell from the building at the construction site, her sky fell.

Now that her father's injury has been treated, she can also rely on her own efforts to earn points and support her father, which makes her very grateful.

She is grateful for coming to the trading market and grateful for the opportunity given to her by the Oil City.

She is like a tenacious grass in the storm, growing up in the storm until the sun comes out.
