1294 Chapter 1295: Food

Chester, a food distribution point.

Amani Hall, who is wearing a veil, no longer bows her head as she did in previous months, fearing that others would recognize her. She anxiously looks ahead, worrying that the free food will be distributed before it is her turn.

Vaguely, she seemed to hear gunshots echoing in the distance, and she didn't know if it came from the rebel army who broke through the defense line, or the police who were dealing with food snatchers.

Now the law and order in Chester has become extremely chaotic, except for a few blocks, no one dares to go out at night.

"Hurry up it's my turn, hurry up it's my turn!"

Amani, who has gone to three relief sites today, prayed silently.

At this moment, the staff a few meters away raised their voices and said:

"The food here has been distributed!"

Amani's complexion suddenly turned gray. She looked up at the darkened sky, dragged her feet in frustration and numbly, and returned home.

As soon as she opened the door, the two children in the family rushed over, raised their innocent faces and said:

"Mom, did you get the food?"

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

They are a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and they are both cute.

With a sore nose, Amani forced a smile and said, "Yes."

She immediately entered the house, dug out a small amount of black bread from a hidden place, and divided it among the two children.

Watching the two children eat the bread with no regard for etiquette, Amani's face was constantly changing, full of sadness and pain.

This kind of food that only the poor would eat, their family would not even look at it in the past, but now it has become the only life-saving food in their family.

Not long after, her husband also returned home, but he also had no food in his hands.

Since the bombing, the former manager of a company has been out of a job and can only support his family with past savings and government handouts.

At the beginning, they could still receive a small amount of food every day, but now the distribution has been completely stopped, and the city hall has no more food left.

"I didn't get it..." Seeing his wife's hopeful gaze, this burly man with a messy beard lowered his head in shame.

Amani, who is in her thirties and has a rather delicate face, took a breath and said:

"Me too... I'll go out and line up again, there should be places where food will be distributed!"

Without waiting for her husband to respond, she rushed out the door.

The husband immediately turned around and said to her back:

"I'll look for it again!"

Amani did not stop, walked two streets, and came to the Thorn Street, which seemed to be unaffected by the war. The entrances of the block were guarded by the security guards of the Black Thorn Security Company with guns. There were also civilians coming and going in the block, living in The civilians here are different from those in other neighborhoods. They have rosy faces and are not starving like other neighborhoods.

At this time, the bell for leaving get off work just rang, and after a while, many workers came out of the factory with large and small bags in their hands.

In the Thorn Food Processing Factory, many workers who were not from the Thorn Street neighborhood also began to wait for each other, and then prepared to go home in groups.

In order to ensure the safety of these workers from other blocks, after they waited for everyone, the Blackthorn Security Company immediately stepped out of a heavily armed infantry squad to escort them home.

Such an orderly scene made Amani's eyes turn red.

She came to a heavily guarded community - Guardian Bay Community.

This is a community built by Raytheon Group for the executives of the group's companies. In addition to being allocated to executives, it is also sold at a low price to employees with better economic conditions.

For example, among those families, there are several families who work in various factories of the group. For this reason, Landsworth Bank also opened a mortgage business. The mortgage period ranges from ten to thirty years. There is also a father-son relay loan. Finished, the son continued to pay.

After giving the security guard at the gate more than a dozen dollars, the security guard reluctantly notified a certain resident.

"The person you're looking for hasn't come back yet, so wait here for a while!"

After all, the security guards are also the ones who have taken the money. Ten dollars may not be of much use in the Thorn Street, but in the RT-Mart supermarket, you can still buy a lot of things with the employee card, but the price is a little more expensive.

About twenty minutes later, Helen got off a rickshaw. It was already dark at this time, and Amani squatted helplessly beside the gate of the community. If it wasn't for the face of the ten dollars she spent, the security of the community would have taken her away. drive away.

"Helen!"

Amani shouted in a trembling tone.

Helen, who was about to enter the community, frowned slightly and subconsciously followed the sound.

Recently, many people have come to her for help. After all, she was able to work as an etiquette teacher for many middle-class families and small nobles, and she still has a certain network.

From this incident, Helen also fully understood how powerless the so-called middle class is in the face of risks.

Although the city's food control did not have much impact on the small nobles, the middle class who lived on their salaries suffered a severe blow immediately after losing their jobs.

During this period of time, I don't know how many desperate people came to beg her, except for a few close old friends, Helen just took out a few food coupons and sent them away.

Food stamps are a kind of food purchase certificate issued by Raytheon Group during this period. In order to facilitate employees to buy cheap food, some will be distributed to employees as benefits every month.

Helen just took out her food stamps, and saw that the person who came was her deskmate and best friend Amani, which made her slightly taken aback.

Amani's conditions are even better than Helen's. After graduation, she married the manager of a well-known company in Chester. There is also a townhouse for rent at home, and her annual income can easily reach 2,000 renminbi. Before the bombing, she even opened a A bicycle shop, I heard that business is still booming.

"Amani, are you alright?"

Helen was concerned.

When he entered the middle-class circle at the beginning, it was Amani who brought Helen and his wife into the middle-class circle. At the beginning, Amani helped to introduce the etiquette teacher job. Even Parks was able to enter the Beresto lighting company as a salesman, and he was also Amani's husband. help.

To put it simply, Amani has great kindness to Helen's family.

Amani covered her face and said almost in tears, "Can you lend me some food? Edward and Wen Li are still hungry."

Helen grabbed Amani's hand and walked to the IKEA supermarket not far away, which is a 24-hour small supermarket affiliated to RT-Mart.

"Why didn't you come to me earlier."

As soon as she entered the IKEA supermarket, Helen bought the only two bags of white bread, but the quantity of white bread in the supermarket was not much, mainly black bread and corn cake.

Food stamps are also required to buy these.
