The sound of coughing came from the house one after another, and the hostess of the house was a little worried.

That was her son, who had been coughing continuously for about a week.

She took him to a nearby hospital for a checkup, and the doctor didn't find any problems. He didn't have a cold or a fever, he just had a dry cough.

They also used some advanced medical equipment to assist diagnosis, such as X-rays, but no abnormalities were found.

In the end, doctors concluded that the young child's cough was due to allergies or psychological problems.

The people of the Federation are very strange. Almost most people are allergic to certain things, and the symptoms of allergies can be very... intense, and even fatal.

In the past few years, there have been many deaths every year due to allergies to peanuts, dairy products, vegetables or certain pollen.

This has also resulted in federal processed foods having to indicate some raw materials that may cause allergies, such as peanuts, and the number of grains or grams must be accurately stated.

In addition, the psychology of federal people is also very fragile. Almost everyone will suffer from mental illness, and it is easy to attribute some of their own problems to psychological problems.

For example, when they are tired of eating a certain food and are unwilling to admit that this is their problem, they will say that they have a fear of this food and that this is a mental illness rather than that they are unwilling to eat it.

Additionally, there are many characteristics that doctors cannot understand, which they consider to be allergies or psychological problems, such as coughing on the hands, burping, and farting.

Yes, constant farting for no apparent reason is also considered to be caused by allergies or mental illness.

Just like this young man now, he has been coughing, and the doctor can't find out what's causing it. So it's either allergies or psychological problems.

He wrote a diagnosis for the family and suggested that they try to check for allergens and perform corresponding desensitization tests, or see a psychiatrist.

In the former, they need to pay approximately fifty yuan to unlimited medical expenses individually, after reimbursement.

As for the latter, they need to pay about 25 yuan for a 40-minute psychological consultation, which lasts for at least two weeks.

This expense is unaffordable for this family. Even if this family has two workers, their monthly family income is approximately close to SGD 300.

But they still can't afford the fee.

Since the cough is not caused by disease or infection, let him continue to cough.

This may be the only solution for most families facing these difficult and complicated diseases. They do not have the financial foundation to support young people to solve this problem, so they can only place their hope on time and self-healing.

According to statistics from an unpublished report by the Federal Medical Group, more than 40% of patients ultimately recovered by relying on their self-healing ability, rather than drugs or anything else.

And that number may be much higher than it appears.

The federal government also has the largest supply of placebo drugs in the world.

"Give him some food and close the door. I don't want to hear this sound."

While the man of the house was eating, he asked his wife to give the food to the children with some irritation.

The current job is not easy to do, but in fact, to some extent, it actually meets part of the demands of the working class in the past.

Less work time, more rest time.

Everyone only needs to work for six hours a day, of which twenty minutes are used for resting or going to the toilet.

Doesn't that sound great, but now damn they don't even care about a meal and they're running four shifts at the same time.

Almost most factories are like this. Each workshop has four teams, and each team's working time is six hours.

Nowadays, we still use the old way of measuring time, even though there are actually thirty hours in a day in the outside world.

But in the shelter, people still live and work according to the twenty-four hours a day rule.

When the workload is reduced, the salary cannot be so high. The work of two teams is now done by four teams, so the salary of one worker is naturally divided between two people.

Although six hours of work is not tiring, it is actually tiring.

No one would be happy if the salary was reduced by half on the basis of almost being tired.

But there is nothing we can do about it. Society needs more jobs to stabilize people's emotions and give them some income so that they can improve their lives.

Then you can only assign the work of one or two people to three, four or even five people.

Everyone got very little, but after all, it was a job, and society quickly stabilized.

People have been eager to work for too long. There is nothing unsatisfactory about having a job and a salary.

The wife also works, working shorter hours, only four hours, and earning less.

She carried some food to the room. Currently, edible fungi have become the main food source in major shelters.

Moreover, these fungi have various textures and flavors after processing, which are much more delicious and acceptable to ordinary people than liquid food.

Perhaps because he had eaten something, the young man's coughing in the room gradually stopped. After eating, the man went to the living room and turned on the TV.

He was quickly immersed in the plot of "Super Heroes" played on TV, and his wife soon came out and sat next to him, and the two of them watched the TV series together.

On the coffee table in front of you are some popcorn covered in syrup——

It is actually a processed fungus that is completely dehydrated through some processing methods, then fried to bring out some flavor, and then coated in syrup.

In fact, the taste is not much different from the previous popcorn, and there are more changes in taste.

This new type of popcorn costs five dollars a pound, which is a bit expensive, but people are willing to eat it to improve their meals.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to this, there are two large bottles of carbonated drinks. Water and flavorings are not in short supply. In addition, carbon dioxide is easy to produce, so the price of carbonated drinks

It hasn't increased much.

The development of science and technology in the new era has indeed solved many problems of material scarcity, such as cloning.

Some relatively low-level or civilian-level cloning technologies have begun to be put into trial use in major ranches. With less feed input, more output can be obtained. With the addition of genetic modulation, some problems are no longer as severe as they used to be.

.

The couple ate popcorn and drank sweet and sour carbonated drinks. Their days seemed to have returned to the past, except that their income had become lower.

The TV series "Super Heroes" occupied the top spot in the ratings as soon as it was aired. To this day, the story of more than fifty human heroes fighting aliens and alien gods attracts every audience.

It was filmed into a new model of TV series. According to Penny in an interview, the initial plan for this TV series is to shoot 3,000 episodes!

This news makes all TV series fans extremely excited. They have been longing for a TV series that can betray them for a longer time!

As the subtitles "To be continued" appeared, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

"They should really show more episodes every day, I hate this feeling of watching half of it but not finishing it."

The husband picked up the carbonated drink and drank it in large gulps, then let out a long burp, as if doing so made him feel comfortable and relaxed.

My wife also agreed, "I really want to know whether the Thunder Man can defeat his opponent the Fly Man. I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time."

"And there are other evil forces behind him. If he cannot defeat this opponent, he will soon be left behind by others."

The husband did not agree with his wife's concerns, "Please, he is a super hero, there is no way he can lose!"

"Just like the battle between a warrior and a dragon, no matter how strong the dragon is, in the end the warrior will prove that he is the one who wins in the end!"

The couple argued about the plot for a while, and the husband suddenly realized that he hadn't heard his son cough for a while, and he became a little nervous.

Although most of the time he was tired of his son who was living at home and unwilling to go out to find a job, in the end, they were father and son after all.

"I'll go see him."

He pushed the door open and walked into the room. His son was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. His face looked rosy. He walked over and touched his son's forehead. It was not hot.

The food on the plate next to it has been completely eaten, not even the residue is left.

This made him feel a little relieved. From the perspective of a father who did not receive higher education, it was normal to be able to eat and sleep.

Then those bored emotions regained the emotional high ground after the worry subsided.

"In addition to sleeping, eating!"

He left the room, carefully closed the door, and then handed the dinner plate to his wife, "She has gone to bed, she seems to have slept well."

The wife put the dishes into the sink, and the two returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed.

A day's work and worries about the future prevented them from engaging in recreational activities unique to couples, and soon both of them fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the light outside had completely dimmed. The husband opened his eyes drowsily and heard some sounds coming from the living room.

He turned his head and glanced at his sleeping wife, frowned, and stood up with a screwdriver on the bedside.

Although the security rate has increased to a very high level, it does not mean that there is no crime in this society.

There are always some people who try to take desperate risks.

He pushed the door open and saw that the refrigerator door had been opened. A man was standing in front of the refrigerator, seeming to be grabbing the contents and stuffing them into his mouth.

From the back, he looked like his son, and he suddenly became a little annoyed, "You stayed up late at night and stole food here?"

"Now go back to your room and go out to find a job tomorrow morning."
