383: Became rich

Given that Director Ning was present, Jiang Fei did not rush to use the Big Turntable.

"Director, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

"Alright, I'll see you out."

"No need, I have a car in my space."

Confirming no one was outside, Jiang Fei retrieved an off-road vehicle from the Supermarket and filled it with gas.

After bidding farewell to Director Ning, she drove out of the North District.

The light rain was still drizzling.

Jiang Fei pulled over and used her mind to check the newly unlocked area.

The remaining white mist on the 8th floor had completely dissipated, revealing 10 extra-long bookshelves.

The bookshelves held various types of books: fairy tales, prose and poetry, celebrity biographies, encyclopedias, picture books, science and technology, children's enlightenment, art, and more.

It wasn't as comprehensive as pre-apocalypse bookstores and libraries, but it was enough to read.

The hydroponics room was located in the center of the Supermarket's 4th floor.

It was a glass room of about forty square meters, larger than the 6th-floor grain mill.

Inside, there were three three-tiered stainless steel shelves.

Each tier had hydroponic containers on top.

The bottom of each tier was fitted with LED lights that simulated sunlight.

In addition, it came with temperature control, humidity control, and airflow circulation devices to ensure that hydroponic plants could grow normally.

As long as a generator was connected, and seeds, water, and nutrient solution were added, hydroponic cultivation could begin.

Vegetables and green plants like lettuce, scallions, cilantro, chili peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, mint, and green radish could all be grown hydroponically.

The Supermarket and warehouse were not short of fresh fruits and vegetables, so Jiang Fei temporarily had no plans to use the hydroponics room.

Having just returned from a mission, she decided to enjoy a few days of leisurely life first.

"System, I want to use the Lucky Big Turntable."

"[Ding-- Some people get used to being unlucky. Host obtained "Take Advantage of You Coupon"]"

"[Ding-- Please don't be afraid of failure, believe in yourself, next time will be even unluckier! Obtained "Illuminate Your Life".]"

In Jiang Fei's hand appeared a discount coupon and a desk lamp with its own display screen.

Both were in the familiar local tyrant gold color.

"[Tip: The "Illuminate Your Life" desk lamp is a plug-in model that can automatically adjust brightness according to the time, display real-time temperature and humidity, and can be used as an alarm clock.

Although the lamp's light simulates sunlight and contains ultraviolet rays, it will not darken one's skin, so the Host can use it with confidence~]"

The base had 24-hour electricity, so a desk lamp was not needed. Jiang Fei put it into the Supermarket warehouse.

"I want to use the Take Advantage of You Coupon."

"[Ding-- "Take Advantage of You Coupon" used successfully!]"

"[Gold required to unlock the first area of Gold Swallowing Supermarket's 9th floor: 44,444,444 grams]"

"[Current unlock progress: 43%]"

The discount coupon was still practical!

Jiang Fei started the car and drove towards the West District.

Suddenly, an official broadcast came from outside.

"Good afternoon, residents. Several months ago, a six-person squad, unafraid of danger and hardship, voluntarily traveled to various places to help Huaxia reclaim supplies from city logistics warehouses and rebuild our homeland."

"After nearly a year, Newborn Squad's team leader Jiang Fei, and members Xu Qianyao, Lu Yu, Su Liuyuan, Zhu Xiaowu, and Yan Tianjie, returned safely today."

"To congratulate Newborn Squad on their return home, the official store is free for one day. No points are required to purchase any supplies."

The announcement played three times consecutively, and then the familiar national anthem sounded outside.

It was a message arranged by Director Ning for the staff to broadcast.

Everything Newborn Squad had sacrificed should be remembered by everyone.

Jiang Fei unconsciously straightened her back, humming the national anthem, and returned to You Shan Community Building 2.

Lu Yu had already taken Gray Wolf into the house.

Xu Qianyao and Su Liuyuan returned to their respective homes to catch up on sleep.

As soon as she entered 102, Jiang Fei saw a bowl of egg and vegetable noodles on the table.

Lu Yu helped Jiang Fei take off her raincoat: "The noodles were sent by Grandma Xu. Su Liuyuan and I have both finished eating."

"You came back later than we expected, so the noodles are a bit clumpy. I'll re-cook a bowl for you."

"It's fine, I can eat them even if they're clumpy."

Jiang Fei sat down to eat the noodles.

Lu Yu sat opposite her and poured her a glass of warm water.

"Grandma Xu and I just chatted for a bit."

"Grandma said that Director Ning prepared a small gift for us. All places where Newborn Squad members live will not have to pay for water and electricity. We can use water and electricity for free."

"I also inquired about the base's points situation. Residents pay a total of 6 points for water and electricity each month, and their average salary is 30 points."

"The cost of buying vegetables and seeing a doctor is not high. A 10-jin bag of rice only costs 2 points."

"If one doesn't get sick, 30 points per person can last two or three months."

"The 10,000 points Chairman gave us can last at least ten years."

Jiang Fei smacked her lips: "I didn't expect us to become rich as soon as we returned."

Ling Zhaorui and Xiao Chuxia had not yet finished work. After Jiang Fei finished her noodles, she went into the Supermarket and brought out Big Yellow and Little Black.

She spoke earnestly to the two cubs.

"Big Yellow, Little Black, Little Gray is now officially a member of our family. From now on, she will live with us."

"You two came to this home before Little Gray, so you are her brothers. You are not allowed to bully her, and you must yield to your sister."

Big Yellow meowed, responding to Jiang Fei's words.

No problem, Two-Legged Beast!

"Woof woof!" Little Black barked excitedly, circling Gray Wolf.

Hehe, she won't be separated from Gray anymore!

Gray Wolf pawed away Little Black's approaching face.

Stupid dog, stay away from this wolf.

Having not slept well on the helicopter last night, Jiang Fei went to the bedroom to rest.

As soon as she lay on the bed, a cat, a dog, and a wolf jumped up.

Big Yellow snatched Jiang Fei's embrace first.

Little Black and Little Gray lay sprawled out beside Jiang Fei, filling the remaining half of the bed, leaving no space for Lu Yu.

As a result, Lu Yu could only sleep on the living room sofa.

—

At 7 PM, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu woke up and went to the bathroom to wash their faces.

Afterward, Jiang Fei took out a litter box and ceramic bowls from the Supermarket warehouse, placed them on the living room floor, and fed the three cubs canned food.

"Lu Yu and I are going out later. You all stay home obediently, and no tearing up the house."

"Whoever doesn't listen will be locked in the dark room."

After giving instructions, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu put on their one-piece raincoats.

Just as they were about to go upstairs to find Su Liuyuan, he had already come down.

Behind him were Xiao Chuxia and Ling Zhaorui, who had returned from work.

After a long time apart, both of them were a bit darker than before, but their complexions were rosy, showing no signs of malnutrition or overwork.

Ling Zhaorui had a buzz cut, and Xiao Chuxia's hair was cut to above her ears again.

"Miss!"

Xiao Chuxia was the first to rush over and hug Jiang Fei tightly.

But in the next instant, she froze, staring blankly at Jiang Fei's smooth head, tears gradually welling up in her eyes.

"Director Ning didn't say you were sick..."

Jiang Fei: "?"
