    "I'm going out!" In the morning, after finishing breakfast, Cao Min packed up the remaining emergency food packages, then said hello to his family, picked up his equipment, and prepared to go out.

    Before the disaster, Cao Min had a good job and a happy family, but the disaster struck and destroyed his originally happy life.

    Today, Cao Min is just an ordinary construction worker. Although this is very different from his previous job, in today's environment, it is not easy to have a stable job.

    Although the country attaches great importance to talents, truly capable people will be recruited by the country to do jobs similar to those before the disaster, but there are industry restrictions.

    Talents in technology-based industries such as manufacturing and R&D can naturally find new jobs easily, but personnel in tertiary industries such as services and finance have become difficult to find suitable jobs in today's era.

    This is actually the inevitable result of the times and environment. The development of the tertiary industry is based on the overall economic prosperity and development of a country. Because people have money, they will want to enjoy more services.

    If you are so poor that you can¡¯t even afford food, why would you want more services?

    This is why Cao Min is just an ordinary construction worker now. In the shelter where he is located, this is the only job that can give him enough income to support his family.

    Because of post-disaster reconstruction, construction workers are the most in-demand jobs. Although there are other better jobs in various shelters, they are not available to ordinary people.

    For ordinary people like Cao Min who have no special skills, being a construction worker who simply sells his physical strength is the most suitable job right now.

    Cao Min¡¯s work today is not complicated. She only needs to go to the construction site outside the shelter to complete the cleaning of the ruins of the old city and the leveling of the land.

    This is a simple job that only requires enough physical strength to complete, so it is not difficult, it is just a little tiring.

    For Cao Min, it doesn't matter if he is tired. He is still young anyway. After working one day, he can go home and sleep and be full of energy the next day. As long as he can make enough income every day to support his family, for Cao Min  It's okay to be a little tired.

    Just when Cao Min and his co-workers gathered at the construction site to start the day's work, the foreman stopped them.

    "A new project is going to be started recently, and some people from our side will be transferred there." The foreman said some news that was somewhat unexpected to the workers, and continued to add: "The good news is that some people from our side will be transferred there."  Workers' benefits will be increased by 10%, but the bad news is that because the new project is located close to the county and far from the city, all transferred workers need to live on the construction site until the project is completed.

    Of course, you can still come back during holidays every week. Currently, registration is on a voluntary basis. Does anyone want to register?  "

    The foreman's words made everyone hesitant and excited. 10% more income is undoubtedly very tempting in the current environment. After all, what is handed out is not money but real materials, which can feed the family.  Be well fed and wear warm things.

    "But living on a construction site can't help but make everyone feel a little nervous.

    Before the disaster, this was an insignificant matter. It was just that the accommodation conditions were a little worse and a little more difficult.

    But in today¡¯s environment, living on a construction site is not just about poor conditions, it¡¯s so bad that people will freeze to death.

    Of course, the workers also know that since the state has decided to do this, it will certainly not really freeze people to death, and all accommodation conditions should still be guaranteed.

    As for whether it¡¯s a good place to live, in today¡¯s world, it¡¯s good to have a place to live. Whether it¡¯s good or not doesn¡¯t matter at all.

    But for the vast majority of people, they still prefer to live in a stable and familiar environment like a shelter, and are less willing to take risks in unfamiliar environments.

    However, there are also some people who covet the 10% extra income and raise their hands to express their willingness to work on new projects.

    Cao Min is naturally one of them.

    Although he said that he did not want to leave his wife and family, and he was not greedy for the extra 10% of his income, Cao Min had a reason not to go.

    His wife is pregnant.

    ¡°This is a happy thing whether it was before the disaster or in today¡¯s terrible environment.

    ??Especially now when people's livelihood is very difficult, the family can have a new child, the couple can have a child of their own, the crystallization of love, no matter how it is, it is a thing worth celebrating.Interesting things.

    But it¡¯s also a heavy burden.

    Of course, the state has subsidies in this regard. Pregnant women can receive half an extra ration to supplement nutrition. There are also additional subsidies after the baby is born.

    This can be regarded as the country¡¯s encouragement for population fertility under the current environment.

    "But even with these, given the current conditions, it is still difficult to compare with what it was before the disaster. Apart from anything else, the chickens that could be easily bought before the disaster are now something that Cao Min dares not even think about.

    What he can think of and do is that he can do more to save more food for his wife and the child who is about to be born, so that the child will not starve before he is born.

    ¡°Most of the people who voluntarily work on construction sites are actually like this, perhaps to save more food for their families, or for other reasons, or at the worst they are single and want to eat more for themselves.

    In short, the foreman quickly recruited enough workers and registered them one by one.

    The new project hasn¡¯t started yet, so they don¡¯t need to go there so early. They just need to finalize the list.

    After watching the foreman register his name, Cao Min felt relieved, and then he returned to the construction site with his co-workers and started today's work.

    Although the country decided to place the newly built dome city in the county due to geological disasters, it does not mean that the urban area has been completely abandoned.

    Although the area of ??the collapsed area is not small, fortunately, it is not in an urban area. After some inspections, geological experts determined that the geological structure of the urban area is quite stable. Although the groundwater level has dropped, it is not to the point where the city needs to be abandoned.  .

    Therefore, the final plan is to build a new city in the county. However, the existing urban area in the urban area will not be abandoned. It will only move a part of the population to the new city first, while the urban area will carry out debris clearing and land leveling, leaving some land in the urban area.  The possibility of building a dome city in urban areas.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
