The end of the world is coming: My waiter is too Buddhist

At ten o'clock in the evening, a drizzle of spring rain covered the earth, and the people who had gathered together returned to the underground shelter in groups of three or four.

Normally, everyone should have fallen asleep to the sound of hazy rain, but at this time they gathered together to enthusiastically discuss the selection of outstanding employees.

Someone was full of hope: "If I am selected, I can move to a family suite, and maybe I can have a child next year."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with dark skin. When he talked about having children, the wrinkles on his face became deeper, and his row of yellow teeth gleamed with a greasy luster under the light.

"Brother Wang, how can we have children in these conditions?" he said, disdainfully distancing himself from the middle-aged man. The tall, thin young man next to him frowned, "Even if you don't consider your sister-in-law's health, you should at least consider the cost of raising a child in the future. We haven't even grown any crops on these wastelands we've reclaimed yet."

Although no one knew how much food was in the shelter's warehouse, smart people had guessed from the increasingly meager food supply in the cafeteria that there shouldn't be much left. Having a baby at this critical juncture would only bring trouble.

What's more, most ordinary people are now engaged in some wasteland reclamation work. This work is tiring and the income is not high. Even if they get the so-called outstanding employee, I am afraid it will not be much better.

Hearing this, the dark-skinned middle-aged man subconsciously wanted to refute, but the worker next to him suddenly sighed: "Alas, it's not that easy for us to be selected as outstanding employees. Just count on your fingers how many people are eyeing this award.

Even if you are lucky enough to be selected, it will only last for three months. After three months, new candidates will be selected, and by then the benefits for outstanding employees will be gone."

After hearing this, the group of people who were originally full of excitement calmed down. They knew that it would be difficult to get the position of outstanding employee.

Before the end of the world, they were just ordinary people with little sense of existence. Now, with the awakened ones as a contrast, they are made even more useless. It is already quite difficult for them to have a job to make a living. I am afraid that the position of outstanding employees will not be theirs.

"Forget it, go back to sleep."

The tall, thin boy yawned and left first. The dark-skinned middle-aged man forced a smile and said, "After all, there's something to look forward to. Let's get ready first."

The spring rain was drizzling. Lin Xiaoxiao slept very soundly that night, so when she woke up the next day, she found that it was only five o'clock in the morning.

After pressing the alarm clock before it could ring, Lin Xiaoxiao jumped up from the bed.

"Well, it just so happens that I haven't seen the sunrise in a long time, so I can catch it today."

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly put on her clothes and saw Qingqing standing outside the door holding a stack of documents and a lunch box.

What's going on? Is there another conflict in the shelter?

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could think about it, Wei Ying, dressed in combat uniform, stepped out from behind Qingqing step by step. She was holding a piece of furry leather in her hand, which looked like hare leather.

"Director Lin, this is the fur of a wild rabbit I hunted myself. I'm giving it to you."

Noticing that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't respond, she offered the rabbit skin in her hands with both hands and blushed as she explained, "I'm sorry, Director Lin, I misunderstood you before. I will train hard and strive to join the hunting team."

"Oh? Didn't you say earlier that I was biased by not letting you join the hunting team? How come you changed your mind overnight?"

After taking the rabbit skin, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the somewhat uneasy girl in front of her and asked a question out of curiosity, because in her opinion Wei Ying was a very stubborn person, and it was a bit strange that he changed his mind overnight.

Lin Xiaoxiao really had no idea what to do with this kind of child who had so many ideas and loved to dwell on trivial matters. She was really afraid that Wei Ying would cause trouble again.

Tilting his head to look at Qingqing beside him, Wei Ying clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, his cheeks flushed. "Nothing, I will train hard. Goodbye, Director Lin."

Without thinking twice, Wei Ying turned around and ran towards the corridor outside. His stumbling back looked quite embarrassed.

Touching the rough rabbit skin in her hand, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask Qingqing: "What did you say to her? I know this child's temper. No one can persuade her."

"That's fine. Children's problems should be solved with children's methods."

Seeing Qingqing walk to the nearby rest area to open the lunch box and prepare to set out the tableware, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stopped her and picked up the lunch box herself: "Let's go, let's eat in the greenhouse today, so we can enjoy the beautiful sunrise."

Qingqing naturally followed Lin Xiaoxiao's suggestion, and the two of them immediately packed up their things and walked outside.

After walking for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the people coming and going in surprise and asked, "Don't most jobs start at 8 a.m.? Why are there so many people at 5 a.m.? Could it be that they are also here to watch the sunrise?"

"Of course it's because of the new policy you proposed yesterday, sister. These people got up so early to compete for the position of outstanding employee."

Qingqing answered quite casually, but Lin Xiaoxiao frowned as she looked at the people passing by.

If we continue to compete in this way, won't there be voluntary overtime in the future? Then the so-called excellent employees will become a drain on human health.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao casually stopped a middle-aged man who was walking hurriedly and asked: "Uncle, why are you up so early?"

The man who almost bumped into Lin Xiaoxiao bared his white teeth when he heard this: "We just want to compete to become an outstanding employee. They say the early bird catches the worm. If we get up earlier, we can do more work than others."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately asked with concern: "You work so hard for outstanding employees, are you having difficulties in your daily life and can't get enough food?"

This is also what Lin Xiaoxiao cares about most. She feels that as the director of the Hope Shelter, the least she should do is to ensure that everyone has enough to eat. However, this time, the residents' enthusiasm and pursuit of excellent employee positions made her wonder if there was a problem with the civil affairs department.

As the director of the shelter, she would definitely be to blame if the residents were not able to eat enough, which made her expression look quite serious.

Fearfully, he distanced himself from Lin Xiaoxiao and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, we're all full. That person must want to make progress after eating."

Yes, humans will definitely develop spiritual needs after they have enough food. Our current life is still too dull and boring.

Just when Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something and was brainstorming, the uncle she stopped took the opportunity to catch up with his co-workers and ran out immediately. If he didn't leave, he would fall behind others.

"That's great! Everyone's so motivated. I guess I need to find something new for everyone to do."

Looking at the people coming and going with satisfaction, Lin Xiaoxiao pulled Qingqing and ran out quickly: "Let's go, let's go see the rising sun!"
