Luo Yuan was awkward and walked out of the registration room.
A few pleasing long-legged receptionists waiting at the door, such as Qiu Shui's beautiful eyes, glanced up and down on their bodies, and quickly recovered their gaze, and no longer interested in seeing him.
Luo Yuan laughed and laughed at himself, and took the teacher who had been waiting outside, and walked toward his car. He took out his mobile phone and was ready to make a phone call with Wang Xiaguang. As a result, I didn't expect the phone to have been powered off. Apparently, Huang Jiahui had called the phone and had exhausted the last piece of power on the board.
Luo Yuan was depressed and put the phone back in his pocket. It seems that he can only contact him later.
He and Wang Shishi sat in the car for an hour, and Huang Jiahui still did not come back. Luo Yuan did not want to wait any longer. She should not come back!
He started the car and headed for the city.
Unlike Donghu City, which is like a dead city, the entire Hedong City is full of strange vitality. He did not come to Donghe City, but now the city has already been unrecognizable with the impression of the leisure tourism city. He remembered that it should be a bustling commercial street, but now the building has been flattened. Instead, it is a large heavy industrial area guarded by heavy soldiers. The sound of various machine collisions is deafening, even if it is not seen. I feel that it is in full swing.
In an industrial area like this, he passed several times along the way.
There are quite a few people on the road, but there is no such feeling of horror and uneasiness. Instead, there is peace before the chaos.
Luo Yuan miraculously found a real estate agent near the residential area. He quickly stopped, and what he needs most now is to have a place to stay.
He just walked to the store, and a very well-dressed middle-aged man dressed up warmly greeted him: "My name is Chen Baoqiang, is this Mr. renting a house or buying a house?"
Luo Yuan refused the middle-aged man's move to pour tea. He opened the door and said: "I want to rent a two-bedroom, one-bedroom house. I don't know if you have it here?"
"Yes, yes, of course. Our intermediary company has collected more than 20 sets, or else... go and see now?" Chen Baoqiang is slightly eager.
Luo Yuan nodded.
"Well, you wait for me." Chen Baoqiang flashed a touch of joy on his face. He took a contract and quickly pulled the iron door in the store and locked it.
"Why, is your company only you alone?" Luo Yuan looked at his locked action, weird.
"Oh, let you laugh, I am both the boss and the only employee." Chen Baoqiang smiled bitterly: "You also know the current situation. Most of our business was former migrant workers, but now these people have already returned to their hometowns. Business is getting less and less, and the number of listings received is increasing. Now I can only eat and eat, and I am not hungry."
Luo Yuan has some sympathy for him: "Right, is there any electricity in the residential area?"
"You just came outside to come to Hedong City. There used to be electricity before, but seven days ago, it began to lose power." Chen Baoqiang shook his head and explained: "Which neighborhood is the same? Now power is given priority to the industry!
"There is not a Hedongwan nuclear power plant next to Hedong City. How can there be no electricity?" Luo Yuanhu suspected. The Hedongwan Nuclear Power Plant is the first nuclear power plant in Jiangnan Province. He used to visit it before.
"It is also a small nuclear power plant. What can it do? Even the entire supply of Hedong City is insufficient. Some of the electricity is also transmitted by the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. But now the Three Gorges seems to have a problem, but there is no electricity."
In his heart, once the Three Gorges had problems, the impact was simply devastating. This means that the most developed areas of China will be caught in a terrible situation where there is no electricity available. In the Three Gorges, which is associated with the national key strategic protection units, problems have arisen. Other hydropower stations are unlikely to be spared. He feels that the scalp is numb.
However, this is only speculation after all, Luo Yuan quickly cut his own thoughts.
Chen Baoqiang did not have a car, so Master Wang had to sit on Luo Yuan’s leg again.
Chen Baoqiang looked at the shameful Wang Shishi and complimented: "This is your sister, long is beautiful!"
After these days of light blue meat nourishment, Wang Shishi originally had some pale and pale cheeks, which have become ruddy and delicate. At first glance, he knows that it is a beautiful embryo.
"Well!" Luo Yuan perfunctored: "Right, how long it is from here.
Chen Baoqiang is good at observing and observing the color. He knows that he is shooting his horse's leg. He quickly said: "This road is going to the end, and the turn is here."
Continue to drive for a few minutes, a mid-range community appeared in front of Luo Yuan.
At this moment, gunshots suddenly came from a distance, and the sound was obviously from a heavy machine gun.
Luo Yuan’s heart was tight, and he subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
Before he got off the plane, Chen Baoqiang went down. He looked up and relaxed. He smiled and said: "Nothing, just a few birds flying! It’s always a net of fish, but it’s a long time. got used to!"
Luo Yuan opened the window and glanced at it. Several birds had already flown far away, leaving only a few small points.
He has some concerns, it seems that there is no safety hazard here!
Luo Yuan looked at the house, the house is on the third floor, which is a fairly good floor. The decoration inside is not bad, but those complete electrical appliances are a pity, because there is no electricity, can only be used as a display, he went to the kitchen to look at it, so that he was somewhat surprised that the gas and tap water are not broken!
After experiencing the difficult survival of Donghu City, as far as he is concerned, as long as there is a safe place, there is water and gas that is already satisfied.
When the contract was signed, there was an accident.
"Do you collect food stamps here?"
Chen Baoqiang knows that he came from a foreign country and explained: "This money is depreciating every day. Who is still using money now! You advised you to go to the bank to change the money into a food stamp as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to buy anything."
Luo Yuan frowned. I didn't expect him to encounter this ancient product of the planned economy era. He only said this when he was chatting with some older generations. He asked: "Now the food stamps and money. What is the exchange rate?"
"What I saw yesterday was a ticket for twenty-three yuan for a pound of food, but it will soon be more than that. Of course, you can also trade directly with food." When he was in the car, he saw that the back seat was full of food. So he said.
Luo Yuan didn't want to pay for the valuable food. He thought about it: "I don't have time to go to the bank. Otherwise, if I pay the bill with money, I will use twenty-five yuan for a pound of food stamps. You will have a trouble. Go to the bank, how are you looking?"
"If you are not afraid of losing money, of course!" I will take a trip and earn a little bit. This kind of thing he naturally promised: "I count, six months of rent plus one month of agency fees. A total of 14,000.
Such rents, even before the chaos, are already extremely low. If you count the depreciation of coins, it is almost equivalent to the price of cabbage. In the midst of the prosperous world, the unrealistic high house prices fell directly into the bottom of the world in chaos, and fell to a jaw-dropping price. It must be said to be ironic.
Luo Yuan was not surprised. He had long felt that the current rent would never be too high.
Before the chaos, he had already taken out all the deposits from the bank, and now there are still more than 100,000, and more than enough.
After Chen Baoqiang left, Luo Yuan sat on the sofa and felt the long-lost quietness and peace, and the body completely relaxed.
No one likes to live a life that can be lost at any time.
He lay down for a while, stood up and said to the teacher Wang: "Two rooms, which one do you choose?"
After Huang Jiahui was lost, Wang Shishi’s mood seemed to have been a little low, and he said:
I chose a little smaller one on the left.
After a while, she asked again: "Sister Huang, really don't come, what if I still wait there?"
Luo Yuan looked silent.
When Master Wang looked at Luo Yuan’s expression, he dared not ask again.
After sitting for a while, Luo Yuan brought all the supplies in the car up. Wang Shishi wanted to help but was driven away by some irritated Luo Yuan. After everything was placed, Luo Yuan took a shower in the bathroom, but he always felt a little empty.
He put on his clothes, took out a pack of crumpled cigarette cases, pulled out one, lit cigarettes, walked around the living room, and when he was halfway through, he quickly annihilated and said to Wang Shi: "You stay at home, I go. A look outside!"
Without waiting for the reaction of Wang Shishi, he strode out of the door. He sat in the car and slammed on the gas pedal. The car spewed out black smoke and turned away from the door of the community.
Even he didn't know what he was doing, maybe to see a person, maybe something else.
The car is getting faster and faster. After half an hour, he has already reached the highway junction. At this time, it is close to dusk, and the sky has gradually darkened. After such a long time, the registration of personnel has already ended. It is obviously empty. Even a few tin houses that are registered as a registry are also missing.
In the deserted suburbs, there is a kind of desolate and quiet taste. From time to time, there are all kinds of weird insects singing in the distance, which makes people feel scared.
He glanced around and his face flashed a disappointment and was about to go back.
At this moment, his eyes noticed that there was a person on the side of the road ahead.
Luo Yuan’s pupils shrank, and he stepped on the gas pedal hard. Santana 2000 made an unbearable roar, and rushed forward toward the front.
The car stopped, he opened the window and shouted: "What are you doing there? Not on the bus!"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Huang Jiahui’s body raised his head and revealed a face full of cows.
Then, her face was excited, her lips and even her body kept groaning, and her heart was mixed for a while, but when she came to a mouth, she said, "What are you doing?"
"The sky is dark, and I and Wang Shishi are waiting for you to cook, not to hurry." Luo Yuan leaned against the window and said with a smile.
The sensation of brewing was swept away by this sentence. She walked around the front of the car and grabbed Luo Yuan’s chest.
Do you know how many hours I waited, I don’t know me. How desperate I was. I don’t even have a daughter now, nothing is gone! You will not leave if you drive me later. You bastard!"
After talking about Luo Yuan’s horrified eyes, she blocked his lips with his mouth.
