In the evening, everyone gathered together for a meeting, which took place in the basement of the third brother's villa. A few people were still left standing guard outside.
No matter how big a basement is with more than a hundred people packed into it, it will still seem cramped. Those who go early can still sit on the sofa, but those who go late can only find plastic stools by themselves. There is no small pony in the back. We could sit on the ground, but luckily the basement was carpeted, so it was quite comfortable to sit on. Everyone held candles in their hands, which created a sense of atmosphere.
Under the candlelight, everyone's face didn't look good.
Chu Liuxiang said long ago that everyone gets together in the evening to drink and so on. In his opinion, there is no conflict between men that cannot be resolved by a drink. If there is , then have two meals.
He thought about many drunken and reveling scenes, but none of them were as oppressive and silent as the current atmosphere of a funeral procession.
Some people are eating, but no one is drinking, even though they have eight boxes of Maotai and more than 20 boxes of bottles of beer in their inventory.
The third brother stood in the middle, with a crystal lamp hanging above his head. The bulbs were removed and replaced with seven or eight candles. He stood under the candles with a Little Bee headset on his waist. He turned the volume up to the maximum, blew on the microphone, coughed, and said, "Let's play this tonight." It’s not for anything else, just so that we can live a better life in the future and stop making unnecessary fuss. We will come one by one for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Anyone who has any questions can raise their hand. I took a look and it’s half past eight. Let’s It will be open until eleven o'clock. We can't finish it today. We will continue tomorrow. Let's get to the important things first. "
"Let me say it up front. No matter what grievances we had in the past, we are all at peace. No one is allowed to quarrel. We are not children anymore. If you want to quarrel, go out and fight. Tonight we will fight. Let’s solve the problem.”
“First of all. As for food, my personal preference is to distribute the collected supplies uniformly. Give enough for one week first. If you have special needs, you can tell me, or my wife, if you don’t agree, raise your hands. Yes. Raise your hands."
Dozens of people raised their hands.
Speak in order from inside to outside.
“I can’t choose what I want. My brother can’t cook. Besides, I can’t stand people who always eat bread, canned instant noodles and the like.”
"All the things we worked so hard to get back have to be handed over to you first? Why, can't whoever grabs what belongs to them?"
“The things we bring must be used by us first! What’s the point of leaving them here with you? And why do you live in a big villa while we have to run up and down the stairs?”
“I want to apply for a four-piece bed set, basin soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, where is your domestic water?”
"Brother, will you give me a wife in the future?"
......
After more than two hours of calm discussion, the problem of food was solved like this. In the first week, we should first put food in We divided it up to deal with it, and later the community was slowly cleared out. There was a canteen in the south area, and they arranged for two people to cook for one meal every day.
Starting from tomorrow, all the men will go out together to the nearby Sam's and Wal-Mart, move all the stuff back, and pile it all in Building B. The two of them will take turns taking care of it every day.
Speaking of the issue of duty, I brought up the question of whether some of the more than 100 people knew each other and some did not, so I simply found another piece of paper, and everyone wrote their name on it, and everyone took turns to order every morning. It was a kindergarten teacher's idea to use names again, saying that this way we can get to know each other the fastest.
As a result, the meeting changed from a food issue to a staff arrangement issue.
With such a big community and such a world, who can rest assured if a few people are not arranged to patrol it every day? Patrol officers have to be arranged. The iron gate doesn't look very strong, especially since there is no wall in the south area. If you want to live in it, you have to build a wall. There are welders and people from the engineering team in the team, but there is a shortage of bricks and cement. If you want to strengthen the iron gate , there are not enough steel bars, and the nearest construction site is dozens of miles away. It is very important to strengthen the community, but there is no need to rush it. You can wait until the supermarket is moved before arranging it.
Then there is the water source problem. The artificial lake in the community is not big. With so many people there, it will not take long for the lake to be drained. There is a water plant near the community, and it will be drained in two days. Arrange for someone to go take a look, and maybe the water supply in the community can be restored. If not, we have to dig a well on the spot. This is a technical job. After asking around, no one can do it, so we have to give up temporarily.
There is another thing that is imminent. Autumn is about to pass, and it is getting colder day by day. It will snow in this northern city around the end of October. There is no heating to keep people away from the cold. There are heating facilities in the community. All new, but no coal.
In short, everything was complicated, and when the meeting came to an end, the third brother had a row of dense notes in his notebook. He was looking at the notebook in a daze, and the candle was about to go out again. Xiao Baihua stood on the stool and put two candles on it.
“Don’t worry, I always feel that we can’t live here for too long. When the day comes, we will move to the countryside. There is always a way, and there will always be a way. . ”
Chu Liuxiang and Lin Shiyin walked at the end. They almost didn’t speak at the meeting, especially Chu. Liu Xiang, on the surface, he is the person in charge of this base, but he is basically a ranger. When it comes to drinking and fighting, and being a chivalrous man and repaying justice, when it comes to the distribution and management of personnel, water supply and electricity, he just listens to it. He felt a headache. If Lin Shiyin hadn't kept pulling him, he would have gone back to sleep while discussing food distribution.
It's not too late to go back now. Lin Shiyin has already left. Chu Liuxiang was pulled by someone to greet him for a while. Just as he was about to walk out, the third brother suddenly stopped him.
"Chu Liuxiang."
Chu Liuxiang turned back: "Huh?"
The third brother chuckled, pointed at the roster in his hand and said, "The name is quite nice, is it a stage name?"
"Stage name?"< br>
“You don’t know your real name is Chu Liuxiang, right?”
It doesn’t sound like a serious name, it sounds like the name of a male publicist in the White Horse Club.
Of course, the third brother didn't say this directly, but scratched his head in embarrassment: "How are your injuries? Does it matter? If not, just tell me, don't hold on, we people are going to You still have to rely on it later What about you?"
Chu Liuxiang said sarcastically: "It's okay to worry about it."
The third brother laughed, approached him and whispered: "You are not interesting enough. Yeah, after that We are brothers. Don’t hide it from anyone. You didn’t even come out when something big happened this morning. I knew you were probably injured too seriously and couldn’t get up. I’ll ask my wife to help you later. Take a look, don't hold on."
Chu Liuxiang's heart skipped a beat and she caught the key words in this sentence: "What happened this morning?"
"You don't know anything?"
