My days as a landlord in Gotham

After reaching a consensus within the family, Lin Xiangyu submitted relevant information about his parents to the management of the base.

Lin Xiangyu's parents, like the older generation of farmers, have almost no education, and most of them are only at the level of elementary school or deblinding class.

But their ability to serve the land and poultry and livestock is the valuable experience accumulated over the years, and the management soon responded to Lin Xiangyu's application.

Although the Tinder Project has preserved a large number of agricultural production tools, everyone is not so optimistic about the future for the time being. After all, it is not that simple to restart industrialization after the earth's surface has been abandoned for half a century.

Therefore, everyone feels that it is necessary to retain some knowledge of traditional farming and animal husbandry. Once modern tools cannot be used, everything can only return to the agricultural society.

Because of this, the base management still has high expectations for Lin Xiangyu's parents.

According to their replies, if Lin's father and Lin's mother meet their needs, they can give the position of consultant.

Consultant is the best position in the base, almost no work is required, only one needs to sort out one's own knowledge and skills.

Of course, consultants are also classified into grades, and Lin Xiangyu is not sure whether his parents can get the highest grade of special consultants.

But even for junior consultants, the food subsidies they enjoy are enough to make ends meet.

This made Lin Xiangyu more confident in convincing his parents, so he started to apply for a vehicle to return to the ground after receiving the answer, and he finally returned to the ground on the fifth day after the application for the answer.

"Dad, the weather is getting worse and worse. Do you and Mom have any plans?"

Lin Xiangyu is sitting by the stove now, and put on the thick cotton shoes made by Lin's mother.

Although this kind of shoes are rarely used in the south, Mama Lin married from far away from the north, which made her craft useful.

Although Lin Xiangyu refused, Mother Lin blamed Lin Xiangyu for changing his coat and pants. Stepping in the cold muddy water in this weather is not a joke.

Originally, the weather in the south was hot, and it was okay to be a little humid, but now the weather is cold, and the humidity mixed with the cold air entering the human body is a lifelong event.

"Didn't you say there was a lottery?

If you can't smoke, I'll just live here with your mother. "

Father Lin said, "Isn't it because the weather is colder?

When your mother was in the Northeast, the weather was much colder than it is now.

It's fine! "

"How can it be all right?"

Lin Xiangyu knew that the Human Committee had popularized the problems that may be encountered during the extreme cold period in human society, but Lin Xiangyu also knew that with the level of knowledge of his parents, he might not be able to understand the seriousness mentioned in these popular science articles.

According to the estimates of the Human Council, within five years from the beginning to the end of the extreme cold period, most of the land on the earth may not be able to be planted.

If there is no special shelter, the possibility of biological extinction is more than [-]%, which can almost be said to be "ten deaths without life"

Even the smartest humans cannot survive in the natural environment after the food chain collapses.

Although many countries have built their own fire programs outside of the fire program, according to the estimates of the human committee, the number of people that these programs can shelter is very limited, and the success rate is not very high.

"From next year, we will not be able to farm for nearly ten years, what do you eat?

Not to mention the grass roots and bark, I'm afraid I don't even have to eat the soil.

Dad, I came back this time to ask you, do you want to move to our base with Mom?

Look, your grandson and granddaughter are also there. Isn't it great to have a family reunion? "

Hearing that she was able to be with her grandchildren, Mother Lin suddenly became concerned, and looked at Father Lin pleadingly.

Papa Lin was smoking a cigarette silently. Although his education level was not high, he had graduated from elementary school anyway, and he still had general reading ability.

He didn't know how terrible the extreme cold period was. According to Papa Lin's estimate, he and his wife would have to freeze to death here in the first year of the extreme cold period.

If there is another way out, Father Lin is of course reluctant to die.

However, his son is not a high-ranking official, so it would be nice for him to keep his small family. Is it possible that he has to drag his wife to earn stuttering with his grandchildren?

Father Lin also heard from his parents and grandparents how to deal with the famine, that is, the old people voluntarily give up eating, so that the young people and children in the family can survive.

Now it's time for me to make a decision, and of course I have to give up on myself.

Thinking of this, Papa Lin took a deep breath on the cigarette, then dropped the cigarette under his feet, and slammed it with his toe to extinguish it.

He glanced at his wife, and said cruelly: "If we go, we will have two mouths to eat for nothing. You still want to grab food with your grandchildren? ——Xiaoyu, your father and your mother are both don't go.

Your grandfather is buried here, your great-grandfather is also buried here, your father and your mother will die here too.

If you can come to the house and talk about it, it means that you have your parents in your heart, and I am satisfied! "

Listening to what Lin's father said, Lin's mother probably knew it too.

Compared with the prosperous south, there are more famines in the northeast.

Mother Lin has also seen what the older generation did, and she knows it's time for her to do this.

Although there was still sadness in his eyes, he said with a smile on his mouth: "I am also confused, how can I compete with the children for food?

Xiaoyu, listen to your father, your father and I are not going anywhere.

This is our home, and we are going to die here. "

After listening to his parents' heartfelt words, Lin Xiangyu's throat seemed to be blocked by something.

If it wasn't for this opportunity, I'm afraid that my parents would really choose to stay here and wait to die silently.

Fortunately, the situation has changed now, and Lin Xiangyu explained it to his parents slowly.

Finally, he said: "Although the farms and ranches in the base are mainly based on modern industrial production, they also require a certain amount of labor.

Mom and Dad, you must be good at it. With your skills in handling the fields and chickens and ducks, you can get started in two or three days at most.

And now the company is still worried about what to do if our modern tools don't work when we return to the ground in the future.

Therefore, veterans like you who are good at farming are eager to seek talents. Even if you can't get the consultant qualification, you can support yourself as an ordinary worker.

And the company and the base are not black-hearted. After you work in the base, they will also accumulate pensions for you. When you really can't do it, relying on pensions is enough for your account.

As for your grandchildren, they have time to learn farming, so in addition to base subsidies, they also have hands and feet to support themselves.

So you just have to think about yourself.

"After listening to his son's explanation, Father Lin felt that he did not implicate his son when he went with his partner, and if he and his partner could really get into the consultant position, they could in turn subsidize his son.

For the parents of the ancient oriental country, the most worrying thing when they are old is that they will become a burden to their children, and the happiest thing for them is to be able to help their children.

Father Lin is no exception, thinking of this.

Papa Lin opened his mouth and asked, "If it's like what you said, I think your mother and I can be consultants.

I'm not bragging, I'm afraid there will never be someone like me who knows how to manage the land in this place with ten miles and eight villages.

Your mother was also a 'chicken raising expert' back then, and was praised by the county.

If you can really become the consultant, your mother and I will go with you to your place, and it would be good to help you look after the child. "

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded his parents, Lin Xiangyu was the first to confirm the matter with his wife, and then logged into the company's mobile app to start booking the boat ticket back to the base.

After all, returning to land from the bottom of the sea is also a very troublesome thing, and the demand is not high, so there are not always boat tickets.

Lin Xiangyu booked the ferry ticket to depart from Tokyo, so Lin Xiangyu had to take his parents to fly to Tokyo first, and then take the base's transport submarine from Tokyo to the base.

Lin Xiangyu estimated the time and found that he could still stay at home with his parents for a few days, so Lin Xiangyu planned to take advantage of these days to take a good rest.

On the day of departure, Lin's father and Lin's mother gave all the food and bedding at home to their acquainted neighbors. They were not eligible for the Tinder Project, and they did not have children with great powers to help them tide over the difficulties.

Father Lin has the natural cunning of a farmer. He didn't disclose that he had a destination, but only said that he would visit his son's house at the last moment.

Moreover, Lin's father deliberately asked Lin Xiangyu to conceal his work at the submarine base, making many people think that Lin Xiangyu's family is also "abandoned".

"The Outcast"

It is the latest popular term, especially referring to those who were neither selected for the Tinder program nor selected by the Seabed Ranch or the Second Garden of Eden.

Due to the self-abandonment of these people, there are some signs of instability in society.

Fortunately, the human committee discovered this clue and strengthened management and control, but it only calmed down on the surface.

Although Papa Lin doesn't know what an "abandoned person" is

But does he know what it means to "don't worry about scarcity but about inequality"

My family has a way out, but I would be jealous in the eyes of others.

These people can't deal with the Human Council, but they don't have much problem dealing with their own family of three.

Therefore, Lin's father and Lin's mother have publicized their "experiences" everywhere in the past few days

It aroused a lot of sympathy.

When it was time to leave, a few acquaintances actually brought some dry food that could be eaten on the road.

In this era of almost no food harvest, dry food is more valuable than gold and diamonds.

Under the intervention of the human committee, food has almost become a military strategic material, and private purchases have been completely restricted.

Lin's father and Lin's mother took advantage of other people's kindness, followed Lin Xiangyu to the road at the entrance of the village, and boarded the off-road vehicle that Lin Xiangyu had rented in advance.

After all, only this kind of genuine off-road vehicle can run on the road here, and the so-called sports off-road vehicle that pretends to be here is probably embarrassing.

Renting a car made Lin Xiangyu almost use up all the cash in his hands. Fortunately, the remaining high-speed rail tickets, air tickets and hotel expenses have been paid in advance, otherwise Lin Xiangyu would have to worry about paying.

In the submarine bases are "work points"

To calculate wages, so there is almost no cash transaction, this cash is still saved before.

From the entrance of the village to the high-speed railway station in the county, it took almost three hours for the off-road vehicle to arrive.

In fact, about [-]% of the time on this road was wasted on the mountain road. The rugged and winding mountain road made the driver dare not speed up at all. After finally reaching the county, he let go of the speed and ran wildly for a while.

When we arrived at the high-speed rail station, the driver said, "Handsome guy, the high-speed rail station is now under the jurisdiction of the military, so my car can't stop there.

I'll let you go down at the intersection ahead, okay?

Don't worry, the county is still very safe. "
