Chapter 743
A new group of residents were moved here in the town of Kerk.
Henry looked at the newly moved immigrants and couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried that the house in the town would be enough to live in.
When the residents of Lankeng Town were moved here, there were still many empty houses in the town. Although they were all located deep in the underground shelter, they were at least places to live.
Even if there is no furniture and living utensils, it is at least a house that can live in a family and resist the wind, snow and cold.
But after the people from Lankeng Town moved in, the population of three or four surrounding villages and towns was moved one after another, and the empty houses in the town were filled with all of a sudden.
There are still people moving here now, which inevitably makes people worry that the houses in the town are not enough to live in.
Although after the snowstorm stopped, some of the people in the town moved back to their residences on the ground and some of the houses under the ground were vacant, it was obvious that these houses were temporarily loaned to the people who were moved there at most. , and after that they still have to find a place to live on their own.
As for Henry himself? He was assigned a one-bedroom and one-living room resettlement house. Although the place was not big, it was his house.
This made Henry, who didn't like to clean up in the past, become diligent and cleaned his cottage every day.
Of course, there is a very important factor in this. Now Henry doesn’t have to worry about his livelihood every day. The town arranged a job for him. Although the work is still very hard every day, he can still get enough money every Monday, but he can still get enough every day. Quota for filling your stomach.
And more importantly, workers in the North only work 10 hours a day, and in addition to the rated ration, they also take care of a meal.
Although not everyone can receive this treatment, at least the basic treatment of workers hired by the Northland officials can be guaranteed.
This greatly changed Henry's life, not only giving him time to clean up the house after get off work every day, but also allowing him to fill his stomach and have more energy to work.
Even during the time he came to Kerk Town, Henry's belly, which could see his ribs, had become round, no longer as if he was skinny and bone-like.
This made Henry cherish his current life more and more and eager to do more for the town.
He even thought that if there were not enough houses in the town to accommodate these people, his family would be able to live in the next one.
However, it is obvious that since the above decided to move people to this town, he considered the issue of residence. A huge machinery that Henry had never seen before was transported to the town by a train that was restored and sheltered underground The institute was assembled. "What is that? It looks so big!" Henry asked the coworkers beside him, and carried a big bag at the same time.
Henry's current job is still similar to that of a coolie porter, but compared to before, Henry loved the job and was very motivated.
Henry's coworker glanced at the machine and said less concerned: "It's a shield machine, used to dig underground shelter, which is dug out bit by bit."
As the coworker said, he also held a large wooden box on his shoulders. While walking forward with Henry, he continued to say, "That is, the town of Kerk is not big enough and there are not enough people." Otherwise, I heard that there is a single thing left there in the underground of big cities or big towns. Once there is not enough houses in the city, they will start the machine, continue to dig new space, and then build more houses. !
I don't know if so many of you moved here this time, will the men above have any new arrangements? It would be great if we could keep this big guy here!
< br>In that case, we can start it and dig more houses by ourselves, so that when I get married, I don’t have to squeeze in the current small house with Fanny.”
Henry couldn't help but feel envious as he listened to his colleagues talking about his life ideals.
He has also seen Fanny mentioned by the coworker. He is the daughter of a baker in the town. He is very beautiful and has dazzling golden hair.
Several times when Henry and his coworkers met her, she heard that Henry moved from another place and lived a difficult life alone, so she even gave him a lot of bread.
Although they are all sold out in the bakery, this is also a very valuable support for Henry.
This made Henry envious of his colleagues for having such a beautiful girlfriend, but he did not expect to find a beautiful girlfriend as long as the other party is diligent and healthy.
After all, the coworker also runs a grocery store at home, and he is a match with the baker's family, unlike him who is just an ordinary bachelor.
So Henry didn't have any extravagances, he just hoped that he could maintain a good life now.
The two carried the things and moved them to the designated location. The two who had unloaded the things turned back and walked back, but before they could walk far away, Henry was stopped.
"Hey, Henry! I remember you were single, right?" The person who called Henry was the town affairs officer. When Henry first came, he was responsible for registering Henry's identity and assigning him a house. Arrange jobs for him.
It is precisely because of this that Henry respected the official, and when he saw him calling him, he hurriedly greeted him: "Hello official, yes, I'm still single, what's wrong?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "It's nothing, I just ask you if you want your wife?" The official spoke and said something that surprised Henry. "Ah?" Not only Henry, but even the workers beside him were surprised.
"What, I asked you if you want your wife? The population has been moved this time, and there are many single people among them. Considering that the houses in the town are tight now, I consider putting some singles. The girl and the boy were introduced to the single boy and the girl in the town, so that you could match it together, so that it would save some trouble." The official briefly explained, and then asked Henry: "So you want your wife?" If you want, I will introduce one to you."
"Yes! I just don't have money! I can't afford to marry a wife..." Henry looked very embarrassed.
Although he soon got a job after coming to the town and his wages were paid one week, he had almost nothing when he first came to Kerk Town and had a lot of things to buy, which led to him spending money everywhere. I really don't have much money in my hand.
"This is not a problem! I'll lend you first!" The coworker hurriedly grabbed Henry and said that he could help: "I saved a sum of money. I originally planned to marry Fanny, but now We haven't got the house yet, so we can lend it to you first. "
"How can this be done!" Henry didn't want the money, and his coworkers wanted to get married, and he didn't want to affect his coworkers' marriage with Fanny.
"You don't have to pay, I'll solve this matter." The official stopped the worker and said with a smile that he had a solution.
