Chapter 94 Familiar Life (Second Update: Subscription and Monthly Pass)
After opening the door with a brass-colored key, Shang Jianyao saw the familiar wooden bed, sink, expansion screws, red lacquered wooden table, and matching back chairs with the help of the street lights on the ceiling.
It was exactly the same as when he left.
Thanks to the good ventilation system and unique geographical environment of the underground building, Shang Jianyao didn't even feel dull in the room, and he didn't see any obvious dust accumulation.
He walked inside, closed the door with his backhand, took off the worn-out rag hanging next to the sink, unscrewed the faucet, and wet it.
Then, Shang Jianyao sometimes bent down, sometimes squatted down, and wiped all the places he could wipe.
By the time he finished all this, it was exactly 7 o'clock.
Shang Jianyao, who had already taken a shower and changed into regular clothes in the security department, immediately took the key and went out to the "activity center" on this floor.
Along the way, the employees who had dinner returned one after another, many of whom knew Shang Jianyao.
They nodded to each other, which was considered a pleasant exchange.
Soon, Shang Jianyao arrived at the "Activity Center" located in Area C and saw several young men squatting or standing at the door chatting, and Shen Du was walking towards him.
The middle-aged man who "guided" Shang Jianyao to join the "Life Sacrifice" order said with a surprised face:
"Xiao Shang, are you back from field work?"
Shang Jianyao replied with a smile:
"Well, I'm back from picking up garbage."
"......" Shen Du couldn't understand Shang Jianyao's answer, so he explained, "I heard Lao Chen say that I hadn't seen you for several days before, and I thought something had happened to you, but he told me that you joined the Ministry of Security and went on field duty."
"What a pity." Shang Jianyao responded.
"......" Shen Du couldn't keep up with his thoughts at all, so he could only smile to himself, "Everyone misses you very much, see you later."
Shang Jianyao showed a puzzled expression:
"It's a pity I didn't bring you any gifts.
"Why don't I put on a show?"
"No, no need." Shen Du found himself completely talking nonsense.
He hinted at the party in the early morning tomorrow morning, and hurriedly said goodbye to Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao then entered the "Activity Center" and greeted people he knew or didn't know.
Chen Xianyu, the director of the "Activity Center", sat on a small creaking bench, and when he saw Shang Jianyao coming in, he hurriedly raised his right arm and waved to signal the other party to come to him.
"How is it? How is this harvest?" He asked curiously.
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to answer, he pointed to the fragments placed in front of him:
"Do you want the old man to sell it for you?
"Only a few contribution points are drawn."
Shang Jianyao squatted down, picked up the tattered mechanical watch that Old Man Chen had not sold for a long time, and asked seriously:
"Wouldn't it be too crowded for armored vehicles here?"
「？」 Chen Xianyu didn't understand the other party's meaning for a while.
Shang Jianyao continued to ask:
"Can heavy machine guns be sold in such a place?"
"You are dead for the company!" Old man Chen instinctively scolded, "This kind of thing, they will definitely let you hand it in! Forehead...... Also, you just came back, all the gains are still under review, and you don't know what you will get in the end."
Speaking of this, Chen Xianyu laughed and scolded:
"You can just say this kind of thing, why go around in such a big circle?
"There are also armored vehicles and heavy machine guns, why don't you say that you also got a military exoskeleton device?"
Shang Jianyao thought for a while:
"It depends on whether you really want it.
"It's a pity......"
"What a pity!" Chen Xianyu scolded casually, and then said with concern, "How is it? This field work went pretty well, right?"
Shang Jianyao thought for a moment:
"It's very exciting."
"Exciting ghost!" Chen Xianyu laughed and said, "What dangerous field missions can you have? At most, I will fight rabbits in the surrounding area of the company and play wild survival."
Shang Jianyao said "Hmm":
"Rabbits are really hard to deal with."
"Haha." Chen Xianyu let out a mocking voice, "I remember that I was the first to fight rabbits, using a rifle from the old world, and it should be eliminated now......"
At this time, an employee came over to look through the items on the stall, and Old Man Chen quickly made an introduction and stopped talking to the businessman.
Shang Jianyao slowly straightened up, walked to the most deserted place in the corner of the "activity center", pulled a chair, and sat down.
He didn't find anyone to chat with, and looked around quietly:
A bunch of men gathered around a small wooden table, playing cards, whoever lost the game, his stool would be removed, and he could only squat to play;
Next to them, there were more people, some holding their hands and making comments, some sighing loudly and expressing regret, some giggling, constantly laughing, and some frequently urging and wanting to play;
Some of them are still distracted by using rags to put in the soles of their shoes, using the wool thread exchanged for the "material supply market" to weave winter clothes for their children, and feeding babies with plastic bottles that have been passed down for generations;
In front of them, some are packaged with edible candies and snacks, and some are pestled or orange or green glass bottles, which are all luxury goods exchanged for the "material supply market".
Outside the window of the "activity center", on the edge illuminated by the ceiling street lights, in the hidden places between the two rows of houses, the figures sway, sometimes elongated, sometimes separated;
On the way to the "material supply market", some people carried empty glass bottles of different colors and wanted to exchange for some contribution points.
Inside and outside the house, all relatively open places have become battlefields for children to run around......
Shang Jianyao looked at such a scene, his expression was calm, and there was no movement at all.
After he didn't know how long he had been watching, Long Yuehong walked in through the door.
After greeting the people she knew in turn, Long Yuehong found Shang Jianyao in the corner:
"Why are you here?"
He remembered that Shang Jianyao liked to stay at home at this time, waiting for the news on the hour and various radio programs afterwards.
Moreover, this time I just came back from outside, so I definitely need to rest even more.
Shang Jianyao didn't answer Long Yuehong's question, and asked with a smile:
"Why didn't you go to find that Feng, the girl at the radio station?"
"Feng Yunying." Long Yuehong sat down and sighed long, "I just went to look for her and found out that she was in love with someone else."
Shang Jianyao sighed:
"Hey, I've done genetic improvement before ......."
"Stop!" Long Yuehong forcibly interrupted him, and said instead, "Actually, I can understand, I have been out for a month, I don't know when I will be back, and I don't know if I can come back.
Shang Jianyao glanced at Long Yuehong:
"Do you know what I'm going to say?"
Long Yuehong replied with a solemn expression:
"This is gray soil."
"No." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "Even if you don't go out on field duty, there is not much hope."
"......" Long Yuehong didn't know whether to cry or be angry, "You talk so hurtful!"
"Let your mother introduce you to another one." Shang Jianyao pressed the table with one hand and stood up.
"Well, there are at least two months left until the next field trip......" Long Yuehong nodded and asked, "Are you going back?"
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao's response, he said to himself:
"Also, after coming back from outside, I felt that my whole body was at ease and relaxed.
"As soon as I relaxed, I felt very tired and tired."
As he spoke, he also stood up:
"Let's go back to sleep."
Shang Jianyao glanced at him:
"The hourly news is about to start."
"You're not tired, and you still listen to the news on the hour?" Long Yuehong was a little surprised.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly woke up:
In the "old tune group", I may be the only one who feels so tired......
Shang saw that Yao didn't speak anymore, waved his hand, said goodbye to Long Yuehong, and returned to his home.
Under the white light of the ceiling fluorescent lamp, his shadow was sometimes long and sometimes short.
Not long after, Shang Jianyao opened the door and entered the house, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.
He didn't turn on the light, allowing the outside light to shine through the window, making the room half bright and half dim without a clear dividing line.
In such silence, the loudspeaker hanging from the ceiling outside first made a sizzling movement, and then a sweet voice with a slight childlike feel sounded:
"Hello everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the hourly newsannouncer, and it's 8 o'clock in the evening......
"Today, the company's board of directors, Vice President Lin Yang, inspected the 'Energy Zone' and emphasized the need to ensure energy supply in winter......
"According to the forecast of the surface meteorological office, in the next few days, a cold wave will move south from the ice field, and the Kuronuma Wilderness will drop by 5 degrees Celsius......
「…… Today, another case of 'unintentional disease' appeared in the factory area, and the disease has been controlled......
「…… The entertainment department invited the heads of various units to discuss the year-end report on performances......
「……」
The sound of the broadcast echoed in the slightly cold room, adding a bit of vitality to the place.
PS: The second change is to ask for a monthly pass. There are two more watches during the day~
