Chapter 1141 Life After the Temperature Drops

Brother Li, who was talking to Han Li at the moment, was the guard of Old Song, the same Old Song who taught him the "Internal Power Heart Sutra" of the Song Family Xingyiquan in Jin Province.

Old Song's youngest son, who was also Song Guanghui's uncle, was currently the second-in-command of the Transportation Bureau of the "City" of Sijiu City.

The reason why Han Li made this call was that he didn't want his elder sister to go back to the bus company to work, even if she would be assigned to an office after graduation.

The bus company is currently very good in everyone's eyes. It's not hard, it's not exposed to the wind and rain, the salary is high, the benefits are good, and there is no need to spend money on the bus.

But Han Li knew that the situation of the bus company would not last long. Instead of looking for a job at that time, it would be better to take advantage of the spring breeze of graduation to directly place the elder sister in the most suitable unit.

The Transportation Bureau was the unit that Han Li chose for the elder sister, and this unit was barely a match for the major that the elder sister studied, so it wouldn't be too awkward when asking someone to do things.

Han Li's call was quickly answered by Mr. Song. After talking about the situation in England, Han Li directly brought the topic to business.

At this time, Han Li certainly couldn't say that he disliked the bus company, but said that he hoped that his elder sister could go to the corresponding transportation bureau. If she could get in, she would be taken care of by Song Guanghui's uncle in the future, and her future work would be more stable.

After listening, Mr. Song agreed very readily, and also said that he would let his youngest son go to the school in person to ask for people, and arrange the best job for Han Li's elder sister after graduation and employment.

After Han Li made this call, his life became peaceful again.

However, because the weather was getting colder, Han Li took Zhang Manyu to go shopping for a day, and the two of them bought several sets of clothes to wear in winter.

At this time, the rich area in the west of London had started heating. Not only did they enjoy the heating, they also lit the fireplace in the room.

However, places like slums currently do not have the option of heating.

If the residents here have money, they will burn the fireplace to keep warm, but generally they will light the fireplace after get off work, late at night, and cover it with some wood when they go to bed, and count it when it is burned out.

But for those unemployed people, eating is a big problem at ordinary times, and they basically rely on shivering to keep warm.

However, among these people, those who are not very honest will not resist the cold. They will dismantle the doors and windows in the abandoned factories, and carry the broken tables and chairs left behind back home to keep warm.

However, no matter how many abandoned factories there are in Renton, they can't afford to do this.

Generally speaking, the things that can be burned there are emptied in the first year of the factory's abandonment.

Now these unemployed people, the dishonest ones among them, have begun to set their sights on those abandoned tires.

This thing is very easy to find in England, and it is also very easy to get it back. The key is that it is very easy to burn, and the temperature after burning is much higher than those broken tables and chairs.

However, the sequelae are also very serious. If there is only one family nearby that burns a tire, all the families around must close the windows tightly, otherwise the whole family will become miners who just came out of the coal mine when they wake up the next day.

Those who go out to open the ladder at night also know the cold. They will light iron cylinders in the abandoned factory buildings, and the most burned things are still various tires.

[Some people may say that these poor foreigners will not go to the suburbs to cut trees and burn them? Why can they only shiver? Burn tires?

This, this, this is just like many big guys who traveled through a certain courtyard novel and made their fortunes by hunting and fishing. It is confusing, completely ignoring history, reality, distance, and completely treating people at that time as fools.

Let's get back to the point. First of all, since the country of England embarked on the process of industrialization in the last century, the trees in the country have basically been cut down. All of them were used to build ships, guns, and fuel.

The remaining trees are basically all private property of the queen, the royal family, the castles and manors of the dignitaries. Anyone who dares to cut them down will be courting death.

This is just like the lush forests around the Forty-Nine City in the Qing Dynasty. They are all the territory of the royal family and the Eight Banners dignitaries.

If you touch any of the grass and trees without permission, you will die. Even if you step into the area, you will die, and it will be a waste of death.

It takes several days to drive to a farther place. It is unrealistic to rely on two legs or a bicycle to chop wood and hunt.

In the period of the Republic of China, it was just a change of soup but not medicine. Only during the period of free time when the two forces were transferred, ordinary people had the opportunity to go in to chop wood and hunt.

After World War II, England began to pay attention to greening, but because many places were private territories, people would rather let the land grow and graze than let you plant trees, so the progress has not been improved.

Up to now (80 years), the green coverage rate in England is not even one-third of that in my country. Even in the future, there are no decent forests in England. 】

Han Li's decomposition space has a lot of wood, so the fireplace in his clinic will certainly not lack fuel.

But Han Li is now facing the situation of black ash flying everywhere, which is so serious that it can be seen with the naked eye, which is far more than the smoke he felt in the city of Sijiu.

This situation not only made the windows of the clinic not open for a long time, but also completely cut off Han Li's habit of drinking tea on the balcony in the evening.

It's bad to have a room without windows for ventilation, but it's even worse to have a clinic without ventilation.

If Han Li hadn't made a lot of rosin when he was in Shanghe Village, perfume would have been added to their daily shopping list.

Even so, the towels Zhang Manyu used to wipe the furniture and stairs every day were covered with a little black ash, but she was used to it.

Because Zhang Manyu's family was in a worse situation in Kent County, with mining areas and cement factories nearby, the dust in the house needed to be wiped frequently all year round, otherwise it would turn into dust in a day or two.

This situation once again made Han Li think of moving the clinic to another place, but thinking that other slums were in the same situation, and that his black clinic couldn't be opened in the rich area, he could only suppress this idea in the end.

Soon it was the day for Han Li to hand in his thesis and defend his thesis to his tutor at Niujing University, but this time, no matter what Han Li said, Zhang Manyu would not go back to Kent County to visit her family, and would not let Han Li buy her a gift to take home.

Han Li still didn't think much about it. He set off today after eating the breakfast prepared by Zhang Manyu.

However, Han Li didn't know at this moment that his mentor, Professor Rand Swanson, had prepared two surprises for him, one surprise and one joy.
