Chapter 232 Cohabitation Plans
"The most important problem right now is not a lack of food!"
Feng Cheng's voice broke the noise of the discussion about the food shortage.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were like spotlights, all turning to him sitting to the side.
Feng Cheng stood up, his expression solemn.
Looking out the window at the snowflakes fluttering and dancing like goose feathers, he said in a low but firm voice,
"The most important issue now is that we can no longer continue living in dugouts."
"This snowfall is absolutely massive!"
"And judging by this momentum, it's not going to stop anytime soon."
"Therefore, we must move out of the dugout as soon as possible."
As everyone listened to Feng Cheng's words, images of being ravaged by heavy snow involuntarily surfaced in their minds.
A wave of fear washed over them, and they nodded with lingering apprehension.
"I agree with Feng Cheng, the dugout can no longer be lived in!"
Xia Tian nodded decisively, affirming Feng Cheng's suggestion, and then proceeded to analyze.
"Under the weight of such heavy snow, the underground dwellings are in danger of collapsing at any moment."
"Even if it doesn't collapse by chance, the snowfall is so fierce."
"If they were to bury us all, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"I suggest we just abandon the underground dwellings."
"We'll all move together so we can look after each other."
Several girls were slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Shen Mengyin looked at Xia Tian with a puzzled expression and cautiously asked.
"Oh, so boys and girls live together?"
Xia Tian nodded solemnly and explained with a serious expression.
"That's right, the current situation is critical."
"Only if everyone lives in one place, in case of any unexpected situation..."
"Only then can I organize a unified response and ensure everyone's safety."
Meng Yue lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Xia Tian and asked a new question.
So where exactly do we live?
Xia Tian glanced around, then pointed to the cafeteria and said.
"This is it!"
"Currently, only the cafeteria is located on high enough ground and has enough space to accommodate everyone at the same time."
As he spoke, he took another careful look at the cafeteria.
What do you all think?
Summer asked.
"I agree with Engineer Xia's opinion!"
Meng Yue spoke, directly taking over Feng Cheng's position as the first straight man.
Meng Yue continued speaking at length.
It was clearly Feng Cheng who first proposed it, but Meng Yue'an gave all the credit to Xia Tian.
"Xia Gong is absolutely right. If we continue living in the dugout, we might get buried alive by a heavy snowfall any day!"
"Moreover, the underground dwelling could collapse at any time, which is too dangerous, so I firmly agree with Engineer Xia's opinion."
"We girls live together, so we can look after each other. Don't you agree?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Mengyin and Ji Xiurong.
Shen Mengyin and Ji Xiurong exchanged a glance after hearing Meng Yue's words.
They then nodded in unison in agreement.
The girls all agreed, and the boys naturally had no objections either.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's get started and move the things over here!"
Xia Tian waved his hand, signaling everyone to get moving immediately. Then, he turned to Lao Wei and said...
"Old Wei, go prepare breakfast."
"Old Zhao, Feng Cheng, you two stay behind for a moment."
In the blink of an eye, only Xia Tian, Feng Cheng, and Zhao Tianshan remained in the cafeteria.
Summer frowned deeply, her face full of worry.
"After everyone moved in together, keeping warm became a major problem!"
"You two should also help think of a solution and see if you can come up with any good ideas."
"Men are generally in better physical condition, so they can manage to endure it."
"But women are physically weak, and I'm really worried that they won't be able to handle it."
"Moreover, Qin Xuemei has caught a cold and cannot afford to get chilled at all."
As Xia Tian spoke, she looked earnestly at Feng Cheng and Zhao Tianshan.
Their eyes were full of expectation, hoping they could come up with a solution.
The three sat together, racking their brains.
His brows were furrowed, and he would sometimes rest his chin on his hand in deep thought, and sometimes scratch his head in frustration.
However, as time ticked by, and after much thought, he still had no clue.
Ultimately, we had no choice but to temporarily set the issue aside.
……
"Captain, come and lend a hand!"
"Dayong, carry this over there!"
After breakfast, the cafeteria instantly became lively.
A vigorous cafeteria renovation project has begun.
With everyone working together, they pieced the tables together in the cafeteria.
Despite the cold air, everyone's foreheads were covered in fine beads of sweat.
The white breath exhaled from his mouth quickly dissipated in the cold air.
In this cold weather, sleeping on the floor is definitely not an option.
With everyone's joint efforts, two simple communal beds were quickly set up.
Several girls occupied the slightly smaller dormitory bed.
The remaining boys gathered in the larger dormitory area.
"Mengyin, help me pull her up!"
Looking at the shared sleeping area that the boys had helped set up, Meng Yue pulled out a curtain from her luggage.
He called to Shen Mengyin to help him separate the girls' and boys' dormitories.
Shen Mengyin quickly stepped forward, and the two of them each held one end of the curtain, carefully securing it in place.
Once the curtain is drawn, the spaces on both sides become relatively independent.
On the boys' side, Feng Cheng quickly packed his simple luggage.
He joked with Zhao Tianshan, who was also packing his things beside him.
"Old Zhao, we've been through thick and thin together!"
Zhao Tianshan laughed heartily, nodded vigorously, and said.
"Yes, we've been through thick and thin together!"
Despite the harsh conditions, the surrounding winds were still biting cold.
But everyone's face was beaming with optimistic smiles.
That smile seemed to dispel all the cold and gloom.
On the girls' side, Qin Xuemei was feeling unwell.
Pale-faced and weak, she still forced herself to straighten her clothes despite her frail body.
Every movement seemed somewhat slow, yet full of determination.
Shen Mengyin and Ji Xiurong carefully made the bed.
Meng Yue then neatly arranged everyone's toiletries on the side.
He would also frequently walk over to Qin Xuemei with concern.
He reached out and touched her forehead, asking about her health.
"Xuemei, how are you feeling?"
"If you can't hold on, don't force yourself. Lie down and rest immediately."
Qin Xuemei smiled weakly and shook her head.
"I'm fine!"
At this moment, the snow outside showed no signs of stopping, and the wind howled like a ferocious beast.
The snowflakes lashed against the cafeteria windows, making a "cracking" sound.
But inside, it's a warm space that everyone worked together to transform.
It completely isolates the harshness and cold of the outside world from the outside.
