The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

After the completion of the first phase of the renovation of Gotham, the second phase of the project began non-stop. Before the temperature dropped, most of the houses in the second phase had been completed.

But in fact, the house was not handed over so quickly, but because the residential area included in the second phase, the condition of the building was not optimistic. Therefore, before the arrival of the typhoon, all residents were notified to move out.

The tire sitting next to Jason sighed and said: You and these younger children don't know much about the situation in the East Side of Gotham. The area where my mother and I live is the first to come to Gotham. Where the fishermen lived.

That was a long, long time ago. Many fishermen lived on boats, and when they returned to land, they only wanted to sell fish. They just needed a similar shed to live in.

At that time, it was still a wasteland. They didn't build their houses carefully, and they didn't even lay the foundation well. As long as they could temporarily shelter from the wind and rain, that's why our street was called 'Old Fish Pole', because it It's like a dilapidated fishing basket, with air leaking everywhere.

Later, Gotham's population exploded, and the aborigines began to build up their houses and rent them out to outsiders. The walls made the whole building very unstable.”

The building where my mother and I live is not bad. Several families joined forces and repaired the building structure. It can barely live in it. Like the few houses on the west of ours, it will soon collapse.

Jason said with some doubts: Your mother is so powerful, she can guard a gas station by herself, why does she still live in such a house?

Tire smiled and said, Because it's close to where I work.

Besides, my mother deliberately moved to a place where the aborigines gather. You know, in Gotham, gangsters are connections, and neighbors are connections. Our family's conditions are so good because my mother is also in the gas station business. Part-time laundry, mending and shoe repair.

After I grew up a bit, one of my neighbors worked as a chef in a wealthy man's house in the southern district. He took me to help him since he was a child, and he could earn a lot of money. Growing up here, I'm sure I can do well in Gotham.

Jason suddenly realized, and he said, No wonder, no wonder Coppert is very fond of you, and he always asks your opinion on everything...

Tire smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and said: Actually, I am far behind you, I am not a smart person, but, in a sense, I represent the aborigines of Gotham, here I know best what native-born people think, and those native people are everywhere in the city and occupy many important positions.

It's a bit like the web woven by spiders. We are the web itself. No matter who wants to enter the spider hole, they can understand what's going on inside from the vibration of the big web.

I found out that you have really changed a lot. Jason took out a blanket from the closet next to him, took the tires and put it on his body, and sat with Jason in the corner by the window to watch the rain, Jason sighed : You would never say such a metaphor before.

Indeed, it sounds a bit... In our previous words, it is a bit hypocritical, but now it seems that it is better to be hypocritical. After all, I just drank hot milk before I came here, and I am still sweating.

Looking at the squalling wind and torrential rain outside the window, Tire said, If it had been before, I would be nailing the windows with a hammer and nails, and my mother would be pouring the leaking raindrops into buckets with a hose...

Maybe, the neighbors will call us to help, because the wall in their backyard collapsed again, and the water overflowed to the bottom of the wall...

Jason also smiled and said: And we, the children of the Capuchin Gang, may be relaying water again, scooping out all the water that has seeped into the cellar, and we are so busy that we have no place to sleep in the middle of the night, so we can only sleep On the wet ground, pray that you don't catch a cold in the morning.

Just as Tire opened his mouth to speak, he seemed to think of something again. He frowned and said, However, the typhoon came earlier than we thought, because our family's gas station is our own, and my mother's job is relatively free. So she can start packing a week in advance.

But even so, we have to help us move with you and the children of the Tusk Gang, so we can finish the move today. Those of our neighbors... Tire shook his head and said, Their work is already busy, and even the children are busy. I have to be busy earning money, and many people only started packing their things this morning, but who knows, the typhoon will come at night.

They can't finish moving, so they can only make do with it for one night. My mother persuaded them to come to their new home to shelter from the rain. They also want to keep things in check, for fear that their things in their home will be flooded.

Jason frowned, and said in a tone of disapproval: I wanted to say this when I moved today. In fact, you don't need to bring a lot of things. There is everything here. Didn't you see it when you visited before?

There are some old things that I can understand. After all, they are bought with money and cannot be wasted. However, some things that are completely unusable should also be brought. Those pots that have leaked have broken a hole bowls, and some clothes that are no different from rags, why do I have to carry them?

Actually, if you don't have these things, you don't need our help at all. The two of you will finish moving in half a day.

Tire also sighed and said: You think things too simply, and I don't want to bring those things, but you know, my mother also had a hard time for a long time.

After he separated from my father, he took me to live alone. At that time, my grandmother hadn't come back from other places, and the land at the gas station didn't belong to my mother, let alone pots, pans and clothes. Even if she picked up a piece of wood from outside, she would not bear to throw it away.

Many people in the broken fish basket street are like this. They are very frugal and want to take everything with them. Even if you tell them that there is everything here, they will never give up those broken things.

Jason sighed, nodded, and somewhat understood this idea. When Curly Tail helped many children who couldn't eat, he also wanted to take everything back when he saw it, thinking that it could be used and save money. a sum of money.

They chatted and looked at the rain, but after a while, the rain and wind became heavier, and the tire surface gradually became serious. He said, Why is this typhoon so severe? Since I was born, there has been I have never seen such a big typhoon…”

He stood up and said, No, I feel like something's going to happen, I have to go to Boss Cobbot's place to lie down...

Just as he was about to turn around and walk out, there was a knock on the door. Jason quickly stood up and opened the door. The red truck stood outside the door and said solemnly: The boss called all the children to help a meeting. What happened? Already!

Jason put down the still warm milk jug, wrapped a blanket over it to keep it warm, threw the blanket onto Jason's bed, and rushed out.

In the corridor, many children walked out sleepily. Jason looked at the red truck and asked, Who is the boss looking for? Is it all the children, or the king of children?

I don't know, he just let me...

Jason pushed the red truck away, rushed into the corridor and said, Go back! Go back! Go back to sleep! Kid King... Oh, no, what's that called? Building manager! Building manager come with me!

Many children stood there in a daze, unable to figure out what was going on, but many taller children rushed out and said, Hurry up, there will probably be a meeting over there, we have to grab the elevator!

After finishing speaking, they ran into the elevator in a hurry. Some of them didn't even wear slippers, and they were still barefoot. Fortunately, the floor in the corridor was covered with carpets, which didn't hurt their feet. Jason and the tires also ran over.

Sure enough, there were already some adults in the elevator, and Jason saw a familiar gang member, and he asked, Depp, what happened?

I don't know. Our boss suddenly came to us. I heard... It seems that the building has collapsed? Maybe there is something wrong with the dangerous building on our previous site, and someone was injured.

Tire's heart tightened immediately, and he said, Where is it? Is it the broken fish basket street? Who is injured? Is it serious?

The gang member named Depp shook his head and said, We haven't gone to the meeting yet, so I don't know, but that's the most famous dangerous building, right? From their tone, it seems that no one is dead, but injured……

As soon as the elevator door opened, the tires rushed out instantly, Jason followed closely, and the kid kings rushed into the office. Coppert was drawing a topographic map on the whiteboard, and when he saw someone coming in, he said:

You guys came here pretty fast, sit down and drink some water first, and I'll talk about the next arrangement...

Boss, I heard that a dangerous building has collapsed. It may be on my street. We... what should we do?! Tire said anxiously, then he stomped his feet and said with some annoyance: We should Let them move in today! What is there to keep in those rags?! Now it's all right...

Don't worry. Cobbot took a sip of water unhurriedly, and then said: The situation is not very serious, but three buildings collapsed, none of which were high-rise buildings, so no one was killed. The specific injuries are still being counted. .”

Now, the typhoon has not passed, so the rescuers are all gang adults. The Wayne Group sent rescue vehicles and doctors, so it's nothing serious.

But tomorrow morning, we will arrive at our battlefield. Coppert knocked on the blackboard and said, You should have seen that several big gangsters who have moved here are arranging manpower to organize disaster relief. After dawn, the disaster relief work should It's almost over.

At that time, they were hungry and cold. Our job was to buy delicious food, boil water, and deliver it to them as soon as the typhoon stopped.

You don't have to worry about not being paid. The Wayne Group and the gangsters who haven't moved out jointly funded it. I have already received part of the funds to protect the backup work.

Now, I will arrange a group of people to buy food, another group of people to pack them up, and others to deliver...

At this moment, Jason raised his hand, and he said, Are we buying ready-made food to heat?

Cobblepot glanced at him and nodded, not knowing what he was going to ask, but Jason said, I think we can do it ourselves.

On the one hand, supermarkets that sell raw materials have more comprehensive items and cheaper prices, which can save money and leave us with sufficient profit margins.

On the other hand, the restaurant downstairs is closed, but I can get in touch with their owners and borrow their kitchen for a little money.

Many children in the gang have helped cook in the kitchens of various restaurants. They have cooking experience, so they can practice it.

Meals made by myself will taste better, at least much better than the semi-finished products bought in the supermarket. Some children's parents are chefs, and they can also be paid part of the reward to let them participate...

As soon as Jason finished speaking, the other children immediately chattered:

That's right! That's right! I can chop vegetables. I helped cook at the most famous Italian restaurant in the East End. My tomatoes are cut well...

Me too, I can also roll out pizza dough!

I can boil water, that's what I used to do in the kitchen...

Coppert raised his eyebrows, cleared his throat and said, Okay, let's do this, Jason, you go to contact the owner of the restaurant, Tire, you take a group of people to the vegetable market below to buy things, remember to bargain... ...

Both of you, go find a box to hold things in, and it's better to find some foam that can keep you warm. You go to boil water, and you, count the number of people who can go out to run errands. Don't make a mistake...

Soon, Jason left the office. When he passed the corridor, he saw that the rain outside the window was still heavy, but he felt a kind of flame in his chest, which made him feel very warm, and he even blushed out of the heat. Thin layer of sweat.

He wiped his forehead, and then walked quickly towards the elevator. All the children were like him. This time, what urged them was no longer the whip, but something else.

A thing that grows when you have enough food and drink, are not affected by typhoons, and stay in the margins of a warm house.

It made them feel dazed, but at the same time, it also made them feel full of strength and light on their feet.

Everyone, keep warm, don't catch a cold

cold too bad
