"Is there anyone in our town who hasn't escaped?"
Steven looked solemn.
"There must be. When our family left, I did some statistics. At that time, including Old John, there were a total of twenty-eight families who were unwilling to leave. I'm afraid the situation is already in danger."

"The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and blessings."
Steven couldn't help but sigh.
Paul sighed and echoed: "Who would have thought that the Sulfur Stone Volcano would erupt right after it said it would erupt? To be honest, I still can't believe it. But having said that, this time it's fortunate that Alice helped everyone sell food, otherwise
More people will stay."
"I wonder if we can meet again in the future?
"Definitely. Planes can't fly now. At most, it's more troublesome to take a boat."
"Paul, what are your plans next?"
Steven turned concerned.
"Well, I heard from Alice that Huicheng is recruiting more official employees. I want to try my luck. After all, the mayor has been working as a mayor for more than ten years, so he has no shortage of experience."
Paul spoke his mind.
Steven couldn't help but remind: "Then you'd better be mentally prepared. The East is different from the West. There are no shortcuts in politics here. You have to work your way up step by step. Besides, at your age..."
"I understand, actually I don't have any ambitions, as long as I can have a decent job."
Paul was honest and fair.
Their family is new immigrants. If they want to integrate into the local area as soon as possible, the best way is to find a decent job. Unlike Steven and his wife, they have relatives and roots here, so there is no need to worry at all.
To be honest, he envied him very much.
"What if I were an ordinary patrol officer, would you like that too?"
Steven joked directly.
"Yes." Paul replied bravely.
"I'm not attacking you. With your conditions, it's hard to be an auxiliary police officer, let alone a patrol officer."
After Steven finished speaking, he took the initiative to popularize the concept of auxiliary police to the other party. After hearing this, Paul felt a little discouraged and became more confused about the future.
"Don't be disappointed. Alice knows Mayor He from Huicheng. I'll ask her to help you find out if there is a position suitable for you."
After all, the two of them are just growing up, and they may become in-laws in the future, so it is only right that they help each other.
"Thank you."
Paul put down the apple in his hand and solemnly thanked him.
Now it seems that their family's luck is not too bad, at least they still have friends to rely on.
……
An hour later, at Oscar's urging, Kelly finally came out of the bathroom.
"Sister, if you don't come out, your brother will starve to death." Oscar couldn't help complaining.
The smell of meat in the kitchen almost drove him crazy.
They have not eaten meat for more than a month, especially in the past half month, it has been difficult to even eat a full meal.
"Didn't I let you eat first?"
Kelly is not in a good mood.
"Aunt Alice insists on waiting for you to come with her. What can we do?"
Oscar sighed helplessly.
"Okay, let's go there quickly!"
Kelly immediately turned off the hair dryer.
Her stomach was also growling.
In the restaurant, the table is already filled with all kinds of delicacies, including fish and meat, which looks very rich.
When Zhang Jiayi saw Kaili, she quickly asked her to sit next to her. This was her recognition of her future daughter-in-law.
Kelly just sat down.
Kevin immediately winked at his little cousin.
Little Pudding nodded to express receipt, and then came to the "cousin sister-in-law" with his own small bowl, which contained a large chicken leg.
"Sister Kelly, I asked you to eat chicken drumsticks. I didn't mean it just now. Can you forgive me?"
"My sister has accepted the chicken legs, but if you want her to forgive you, you have to kiss her first. She has already taken a bath. Does it still stink to you?"
After Kelly finished speaking, she hugged the little guy into her arms.
Little Pudding rubbed his nose and sniffed Sister Kelly's neck. As expected, her sister didn't stink anymore, and she still smelled very good.
"Sister, lower your head, I want to kiss you?"
Kelly lowered her head in response.
"mua..."
Little Pudding hugged her sister's neck and kissed her face hard.
This move made Kevin jealous: "Okay, okay, little pudding, come back quickly. My cousin will peel the shrimp meat for you. If you don't want to eat it, I will give it to my brother."
"I want...I want to eat..."
Little Pudding immediately let go of his hands, ran back to his seat with a bang, picked up the shrimp meat and ate it happily.
After a brief interlude, Steven began to greet the guests for dinner: "We are all our own people, so don't be polite. You can eat whatever you want."
Oscar took the lead, eagerly scooping up a piece of braised pork and stuffing it into his mouth.
The braised pork melts in your mouth and is so delicious that you want to cry.
Anna quickly reminded: "The braised pork is too oily. Don't eat too much, or you may have diarrhea."
Looking at how thin this family is, you can tell that the food on the ship must not be very good.
"I'm also happy to have diarrhea."
Oscar closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
"Then eat more lean meat and less fat."
Zhang Jiayi picked up Kuai Zi and helped the other party pick out a few pieces of braised pork that were not very fatty.
"Thank you Aunt Alice!"
"You're welcome, Auntie's house is your home."
Zhang Jiayi smiled and waved her hands.
In this way, everyone chatted while eating, and the meal lasted for more than an hour.
After the meal, Zhang Jiayi left quickly.
As I said before, the plan to acquire the Zhujiang Food Industrial Park has almost been discussed. The boss is very happy and can sign the contract in the afternoon.
After Zhang Jiayi left, Anna couldn't sit still, so she asked Kevin to take them to find a house.
Kevin couldn't help but led everyone to Shawei Village. This area is technically a suburb, and the control is not very strict, and travel is basically unrestricted.
After being guided by the patrol team, the group quickly found Village Chief Fan’s home.
"Dongdongdong...Uncle Fan, are you at home?"
Kevin stepped forward and knocked on the door.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened. The person who opened the door was a beautiful middle-aged woman, who looked confused:
"Who are you?"
"Ahem..." Kevin took off his mask: "Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Kevin. Is Uncle Fan at home? We have something to do with him."
"Come in, my father-in-law is at home!"
The middle-aged woman invited everyone into her home.
Village Chief Fan just walked out with a teapot:
"Guodong? Why is it you? If you are not sleeping at home, why are you here?"
Kevin immediately introduced his girlfriend and her family to him, and then told him the purpose of his trip.
"So you are renting a house? This is easy to handle. Uncle Fan's house happens to have dozens of vacant rooms, including single rooms and suites. You can live here with me. I won't charge you rent."
Village Chief Fan immediately took over the task.
He was worrying about how to get closer to Boss Zhang, but the opportunity came to him.
"How can this be done?"
Kevin shook his head repeatedly.
"Listen to me, your uncle is not short of rent. If you feel sorry for yourself, you can help me give you some ideas, what should I do with that apartment?"
Village Chief Fan smiled and reassured.
ps: There are five updates in total, and there are three more during the day.
