Doomsday Grain
Chapter 25 3 in 1 Long Update
This is the end of today's conversation, otherwise He Yangxuan wouldn't have said so much about himself.
In this way, it is also understandable that He Yangxuan subconsciously guessed people's hearts.Growing up in such an environment, how can I get used to thinking about the kind side of my heart?
"God is fair. They will always pay the price for what they get that doesn't belong to them." Lin Qian said.
He Yangxuan: "Not necessarily. What did my father and mother do wrong? Human lives have been killed by them, and what happens to them is not enough to make up for what they did."
Lin Qian didn't know what to say. After all, he was not an experiencer. No matter how much he tried to put himself in his shoes, it was impossible for him to have the same experience and thoughts as He Yangxuan.
"Then let's not think about them." Lin Qian said with a smile, "Our life is beautiful, why bother to punish ourselves with other people's sins, let's not mention this. I was thinking, planting a vine in the house is because I am afraid of the old house The vines over there were frozen to death. Next year, let’s try to plant them indoors, and if they survive, there will be fruit.”
"Forget about grapes, or it's unrealistic to grow fruits indoors. As long as they are sweet fruits, they need a lot of light. The indoor light intensity is not good. If the outside is about the same, considering the climate, you can grow it in a greenhouse. As long as Control point irrigation, don't worry about the finished product, the taste is still good."
The fruit trees planted in Lin Qian's house are all grown by chance, and he is diligent if he can get some pesticides. How could he think of light?Grandpa hated that blocking the sun would affect the growth of the corn several times, and Lin Qian stopped him when he wanted to cut it several times.
"That's right, but isn't it too much for us to build a greenhouse just to eat fruit?" In the future, some people will not be able to eat.
He Yangxuan pointed to the top of his head: "On the roof, keep the bees together, plant a few dwarf trees, and then plant some other vegetables. As for the ground, if it is easier to make it easier, let's even set up greenhouses all over the yard. Others will only say that we are prescient. If it is dazzling, as long as we live better than others, some people will be jealous. There is no way to avoid it. The only way is to be so strong that others dare not mess with it."
"You didn't see the stone thrown behind your back." Lin Qian said this, but He Yangxuan's words were in his heart.
"But when we recover to the point where we can buy dwarf saplings in the future, I'm afraid it will be a little bit hanging." Lin Qian worried.
He Yangxuan took out the jade pendant from his chest, shook it twice: "I have it."
Lin Qian pointed to the door: "How can my grandfather explain it?"
"I don't explain." He Yangxuan said: "I can feel that grandpa actually understands everything, but he just didn't say it clearly. Even if we sell him a big loophole, he may not open his face and say that he is waiting for us to tell him directly. he."
"You mean you plan to tell him?" Lin Qian was a little startled.
"Why not?" He Yangxuan laughed.
"This is your family's ancestral secret..." Lin Qian couldn't believe it. This is a terrible secret. Did you just tell his family?
"I believe that the person who can raise you must be as trustworthy as you. I trust you, and of course I trust your only relative." He Yangxuan's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
Lin Qian's touch was naturally indescribable. To be trusted like this was also a great achievement in this world.
"That's why you trust me?" Lin Qian asked.
"You have even told me about the end times, so of course I will share my secrets with you." He Yangxuan put the jade pendant back into his clothes, "I also believe in my vision, if the friends who have been together for ten years are unreliable, then I died because of my own stupidity."
"Don't worry, no one will find out about your space." Lin Qian's eyes were a little firm.
Looking at each other, He Yangxuan smiled frankly: "In this world, I can only trust you alone."
Hearing these words, Lin Qian felt awkward for no reason, and looked at He Yangxuan, as if he saw something in He Yangxuan's eyes.
Lin Qian felt that he was thinking too much, and thought for a while and said, "Since college, aren't we life and death buddies?"
"Yes." He Yangxuan said with a smile, "Brother."
Lin Qian always felt that this smile was a little bit bitter. He felt that he was thinking too much. Lin Qian stood up and walked towards the door: "It's almost dinner time. I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help."
Lin Qian walked out of the room, He Yangxuan watched the door close, and heaved a long sigh.Standing up, she threw herself directly on Lin Qian's quilt, and took a deep breath.
My heart is full, and I can't express the feelings that are about to overflow. I face Lin Qian every day, but I can only call myself a good friend. How many people understand this pain?How many times He Yangxuan had the urge to speak out, but he was afraid that his friends would not be able to do it after he said it.
So why let them have so many years of friendship?How good would it be if you didn't know anyone?Don't agree to pat your ass and leave after confessing, no worries.
Isn't that bullshit?If you don't know, how can you like it?
After the outbreak of the plague, He Yangxuan really had the urge to show his cards directly. Anyway, he now has a lot of supplies in his hand, and he used the supplies full of space to exchange Lin Qian's "luck" for him. He Yangxuan was very happy.But He Yangxuan couldn't do such an outrageous thing, which was also an insult to Lin Qian.
He Yangxuan grabbed the bed sheet, he is like a thief even if he eats tofu now, and he still wants to pretend to be a good buddy, a good buddy, your sister.
At this moment, the door opened suddenly, He Yangxuan raised his head suddenly, and met Lin Qian's surprised eyes.
"What's wrong?"
He Yangxuan's psychological quality is good after all, as if nothing happened, he put on a forced smile: "I feel a little sick to my stomach."
Lin Qian didn't doubt that there was him. He Yangxuan had something wrong with his stomach: "Did you take your medicine?"
"It's not good to take too much medicine. I just use an electric heater to dry it." There is always an electric heater in the house. It can be used for four hours after being plugged in for five minutes, which is very convenient.
"By the way, my grandfather has finished cooking, and there is soup tonight. Why don't you insist on drinking some first? Drinking soup also nourishes the stomach."
He Yangxuan nodded, sat up, he was still clutching his stomach, his brows were slightly wrinkled.
"Did you feel uncomfortable when you talked to me just now? You are really capable, I didn't see it at all just now." So the bitterness I saw just now is not an expression of emotion, but a real discomfort.With this explanation, Lin Qian began to laugh at himself for thinking too much.
"No, it was just uncomfortable."
The two went downstairs to eat together, and the grandfather raised his eyes and saw that something was wrong with He Yangxuan: "What's wrong?"
"He Yangxuan's stomach hurts. He's sick. I'll ask him to come down and drink more soup." Lin Qian explained.
"Well, if you have a stomachache, you should eat something hot and soft. Eat more eggs, and don't eat spicy ones. I will cook some porridge for you at night. If you have a bad stomach, take good care of it. If it doesn't get better, it will be a disaster." , or you will come here when you get old. Come, have some soup."
Grandpa was nagging about serving soup to He Yangxuan, He Yangxuan quickly took it with both hands, and said thank you twice.After losing his grandfather and mother since he was a child, He Yangxuan has hardly received this kind of warmth from his elders. He Yangxuan is grateful and satisfied.
Sleeping at night, He Yangxuan sneaked into Lin Qian's room again.Lin Qian had no choice but to ask, "Don't you have a house?"
"It's boring to sleep alone." He Yangxuan smiled harmlessly.
"Didn't you always sleep alone before?" Lin Qian said helplessly.
"I used to be busy all day, and the time for sleeping was squeezed out. Of course, I fell asleep when I touched the pillow. Now I sleep every day and wake up every day. I wake up and wake up. It's too uncomfortable. Why don't you watch a movie or something with you, watching sleepy? I'll go to bed when I'm done." He Yangxuan got into Lin Qian's bed, his face blushing and his heart beating wildly.
Lin Qian wanted to read a novel for a while, but when He Yangxuan came, he still had to follow He Yangxuan's mind to watch a movie.After all, He Yangxuan's stomachache is a sickness, so he has to follow him.
Turned on the computer and looked at the downloading queue for a while, and turned over two pages and couldn't find what I wanted to see, so I just handed it to He Yangxuan.
He Yangxuan looked around twice but couldn't find anything he wanted to watch, so he directly searched for "Brokeback Mountain" on the video client.
Lin Qian's face froze: "Are you sure you want to watch this?"
He Yangxuan pretended to be ignorant, blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No..." Lin Qian decided to shut up. It's understandable that He Yangxuan has been busy with the company all year round. In fact, Lin Qian didn't know much. At most, he listened to the little girls in the office saying nothing.
Satisfied, He Yangxuan connected the computer to the projector, clicked on the playback, and looked up to watch.
Lin Qian lay on the side with an embarrassed expression on his face, looking up at the movie on the ceiling.
After seeing the end of the movie, both of them were a little silent.Lin Qian was embarrassed at first, but in the end there was only sighs left.
He was not in a hurry to make a speech, and He Yangxuan couldn't help but speak: "Tell me, what would happen if these two people were in modern times?"
"I don't know. Leaving aside the countryside, cities in contemporary society still have a high acceptance of homosexuality." That's all Lin Qian could think of.
He Yangxuan was a little silent. Just when Lin Qian thought that He Yangxuan would not say anything more, He Yangxuan suddenly asked, "What do you think it feels like when a man kisses a man?"
Lin Qian's hair was about to explode.
"How would I know!"
He Yangxuan turned sideways to prop up his body with one hand, and looked at Lin Qian from top to bottom: "I think they kissed very vigorously, and the style is not at all different from those idol dramas. Are two men just like a man and a woman? Is it different?"
"What's the point of asking me? I haven't even held a girl's hand." Although it makes people blush to say this, he is still a virgin at the age of 28.
He Yangxuan was even more excited after hearing this: "Then let's try it?"
Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, but He Yangxuan had already suppressed it.
Lin Qian pushed subconsciously and turned his head away.
There was disappointment in He Yangxuan's eyes, and then there was a burst of laughter: "Hahaha, are you scared?"
Lin Qian heaved a sigh of relief, but felt empty again in his heart. He stretched out his hand and hammered He Yangxuan's chest: "You are not energetic, are you kidding me?"
"It's boring, I'm going to lie on your bed too." He Yangxuan lowered his head, looked at Lin Qian, the light was dim, Lin Qian couldn't see He Yangxuan's eyes clearly, "To be honest, have you ever had a date?"
With such a distance, Lin Qian could even feel the airflow of He Yangxuan's breath.With a little heat on his face, he said angrily: "I have that time? You reflect on yourself, how have you squeezed me these years?"
He Yangxuan thought about it, and burst out laughing: "It really is."
"Lie down on your side, this side is crowded enough, you still go to this side." Lin Qian pushed He Yangxuan over there.
He Yangxuan lay on his side, looking at the list of characters at the end of the movie on the ceiling, he hesitated to speak.
Lin Qian said: "It's not that I haven't thought about looking for it. To be honest, I've downloaded two dating apps, but I haven't been able to find the one I'm interested in. It's a waste of time to try it."
He Yangxuan's heart was beating wildly, and he tried to keep his tone relaxed: "Maybe he likes men."
"Get out." Lin Qian only thought he was joking.
"You said what should you do if you really like a man?" He Yangxuan asked.
Lin Qian really thought about it seriously. After all, he had just watched such a movie, and if he brought it in, it was just a review of the movie.
"It will definitely be covered to death. Needless to say, my grandfather, so many children are only my grandchildren, waiting for me to get married and have children, how can you be willing to let him down?"
He Yangxuan was stabbed in the bottom of his heart, and asked with a forced smile: "Then will you marry and have children as your master thinks?"
"How is it possible? I have to be responsible for my life. If I really only have feelings for men, why should I waste a woman's life? I'm not responsible for my children."
"Your awareness is quite high." He Yangxuan's heart twitched, his breath was trembling.
"What about you?" Lin Qian asked He Yangxuan after substituting for himself.
Of course, it is to stalk the person you like until the other person likes you.
The above are the true thoughts in He Yangxuan's heart.
"Seriously speaking, I... If, if I meet someone I like so much that I have to, I will definitely pursue what I want based on my own feelings."
Lin Qian smiled and said, "That's right, with you, there shouldn't be anything you can't ask for."
He Yangxuan changed his posture and patted the pillow: "Your pillow is unscientific, you can't sleep."
"You don't have a pillow in your space that you're used to?" Lin Qian turned off his laptop and projector, feeling sleepy.
He Yangxuan took Lin Qian's hand with one hand, and put it under his neck, with his head still resting on the pillow: "It's much more comfortable this way."
Lin Qian pulled back or not, frowning: "What are you doing with my hands?"
"The height is just right. It's okay, my neck is not heavy." He Yangxuan rubbed his head against the pillow, his neck touched Lin Qian's arm, and closed his eyes satisfied.
Lin Qian had no choice but to close his eyes and fall asleep.
It was night, Lin Qian had a dream.
I dreamed that I was walking in the forest, the air was fresh and pleasant, very comfortable.At this time, I faintly heard someone calling me, and when I looked back, that person was sitting on the top of a tree, waving at him.
Lin Qian walked over quickly and looked up at him, only to see him jumping down. Lin Qian couldn't dodge in time, and was directly pressed to the ground. He heard the man say, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Then the clothes on his body were taken off one by one, and he faced each other calmly in the forest like this, and did something shameless and shameless.
Lin Qian woke up suddenly and couldn't move his right hand. When he turned his head and saw the face with a little stubble stabbing at him, he suddenly withdrew his hand and got up.
He Yangxuan suddenly lost the arm that was propping his neck, and stretched out his hand to touch it uncomfortably, his eyes slightly opened and narrowed: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Lin Qian felt a little guilty, got out of bed and put on his clothes, "Let's see if it's raining or snowing outside, no matter what's going on, we have to pack it up."
He Yangxuan also sat up: "Then I will accompany you."
Lin Qian didn't dare to look at He Yangxuan, so he put on his clothes and said, "I'm waiting for you outside," before going out.
He Yangxuan became more energetic, and looked at the closed door inexplicably, and usually went out together.
The old man felt little, and when Lin Qian went downstairs, his grandfather was already sitting in front of the sofa watching TV.The morning news was still playing on the TV, and the content of the news was about the plague and weird weather. Looking at the latest data given, the number of dead people had exceeded [-] million.In this short period of time, the global population has lost more than one billion people, and the number of deaths in some countries with substandard sanitation has doubled.
Lin Qian looked sad, and was even more afraid of the old man's sentimentality. He went over and said, "Play some discs for you? Don't you like watching costume dramas? I bought a lot of discs. You choose one."
Grandpa shook his head: "It's okay, it's good to see this."
"This is so bad." Lin Qian said.
"It's okay, it's not like if you don't read it, you don't have it. If you read it more, you will know how lucky you are to be alive. You must know how to be grateful." Grandpa sighed.
"Is it snowing outside today?" Lin Qian asked.
Grandpa: "It's snowing, don't take it seriously. Is Xiaoxuan awake?"
"Getting dressed." Lin Qian opened the door and went out to have a look. There was still snowflakes in the sky, and the air was humid and cold, so cold that his bones shivered.
This is the Northeast, and it stands to reason that the air should be dry and cold.The dry cold is not difficult to resist. It is good to wear thick clothes to prevent the wind from penetrating, but the wet cold is not good.
Lin Qian closed the door and went to the boiler room. Seeing the coals in the fire burning red, he added some more coal.
The more this kind of weather, the more adequate the indoor heating.Especially when the plague is raging, the germs cannot be given a chance.
Go to the livestock pen to see that the stove is also lit in the livestock pen. A long chimney runs across the entire pigsty from the east, and it is not discharged from the upper chimney until the west. This design, as long as the fire is lit, the entire livestock pen will burn. is warm.
The livestock side was a bit worse, because Gai didn’t get those in a hurry, but just ordered a smokeless stove that was bought for outdoor use and put it in the center, and the inside of the circle was well ventilated.At the same time, the perimeter of the stove should also be surrounded by wooden boards, and the top is also covered with two layers of barbed wire.
Chickens, ducks, and geese gather wherever they are warm, and sometimes they don't care whether they can bear it or not.I heard from the old man that in the early years, it was very cold in winter. Some people felt sorry for the chickens at home, and they took them to the kitchen for fear of freezing to death.There was a fire in the kang stove in the kitchen, and I forgot to block the burner.
When I went to the kitchen the next day and saw that there was no chicken, the family thought it was haunted.As a result, when I was cooking, I swept the fire stick into it and felt something. I pulled it out with the fire stick and saw that it was a cooked chicken.Then the pot was directly removed, and the chickens, big and small, were all under the pot, and they were all roasted chicken.
For warmth, drill directly into the wood-burning stove for warmth.
So I deliberately surrounded the stove.
Although the heat provided by the smokeless stove is limited, poultry are better able to keep out the cold, and they like to gather together, so they will not be too cold.
Back home, there was no one in the living room, and when he went into the kitchen, he found that grandpa was preparing breakfast with He Yangxuan.Grandpa is frying eggs, and He Yangxuan is cooking soup.
"Grandpa, do you think it's okay to be so hot?" He Yangxuan called each grandfather amiably.
"Okay, just cook for a while. You go back to the house and watch TV for a while, and I'll call you when it's ready." Grandpa also likes this diligent young man very much.
"I'm idle and boring. I just learned how to cook from you. I used to be busy at work, and sometimes I didn't have time to eat, and my stomach broke down. Now I have plenty of time in the future, so I can eat well to nourish my stomach."
Grandpa liked to hear this, and nodded repeatedly: "Young people as old as you can think so little. Some of the half-grown children in the village have to learn how to lose weight at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Eating. This is not like it, it is not good for your health, you have to eat well. Otherwise, you will always starve yourself for the rest of your life, and you will be lucky if you die."
He Yangxuan repeatedly said yes, turned around and saw Lin Qian who was watching the excitement, and waved to him: "Come here to cook?"
"The big fart is not enough to toss around." Lin Qian took the bowls and chopsticks and went to the living room to set them up. Although there is a dining table in the kitchen, they all like to eat while watching TV, so they put the food on the coffee table and ate it on the sofa .
Sitting on the sofa and waiting for dinner, Lin Qian remembered the spring dream he had in the morning.He didn't see the face clearly in the dream, but he subconsciously felt that the person was He Yangxuan.Forget about Chun and Meng, they are still men, and it’s okay for men, they still fight in the field.
He Yangxuan first came over holding the soup bowl with a rag, then hurried over to put the soup bowl down, and touched his ears.
"It's really hot."
Breakfast is steamed buns, fried eggs and soup.In fact, most of the breakfasts in the countryside were made of porcelain. Lin Qian and He Yangxuan were used to soup and water. Grandpa felt good after eating it for a few days, so he ate along with it.
After breakfast, the snowflakes in the yard have not yet reached the point of sweeping.Lin Qian went to the pool on the second floor to look at the fish pond.The fish pond has been supplied with water 24 hours a day, and it is still circulating water. One-third of the water is changed every two or three days, so after raising [-] fish fry, now only two or three fish have died, and the rest are very vigorous.
Lin Qian grabbed the fish food and fed them. This group of fish was used to this kind of feeding, and every time they saw a figure, they would rush up to wait for food.
At this time, He Yangxuan came up to call him, saying that the health team had come again.
Recently, the health team has come frequently, and every time they check whether they are infected, but now the infected people will be taken away directly.
Going downstairs, Lin Qian was a little apprehensive when he saw the heavily armed people.In fact, he knew that these people were heroes.In such a time when every household is closed and everyone is in danger, it is great to walk around just to reduce the spread of the plague.
Use a lancet to collect a drop of blood from your fingertip and put it into the machine, which will analyze the blood and show if it is infected with a virus.
All three tested positive for the infection.Although he knew it was fine, he was relieved when he got the safety news.
Grandpa put Bondi on his hand and asked, "Comrade, how many people are left in the village now?"
The health team was silent for a while, and gave a general answer: "Less than half."
General and cruel answer.The grandfather and the three were a little silent. After thinking about it, it was Lin Qian who spoke first: "Is there... no one else?"
The health team nodded and said sadly: "There are many. Basically, one person is infected, and people close to him have a high chance of infection. It is the right decision not to go out now. If anyone is found to be infected, they must be quickly isolated Fully disinfect. I say this to almost every household, but less than half of them actually do it.”
Thorough disinfection means that everything in the yard must be disinfected, including clothes, bedding, floor furniture, and even tableware.But in most people's perception, disinfection is just to sprinkle some disinfectant in the room, and even after the detailed explanation, it will not meet the standard due to various reasons, increasing the risk of infection.
The health team had to go to the next house as soon as possible, and left some disinfection tools for Lin Qian's house before leaving.
Things in the village can only be known through the health team, because there are too few people in the same village on WeChat, so little is known.
This plague lasted for seven full months.
The first blizzard caught people off guard. When I woke up, the snow in the yard was knee-deep.Grandpa got up the earliest, and part of the snow has already been cleared.
After Lin Qian and He Yangxuan woke up, they invited grandpa back to the small building. The two pushed the cart to clear the snow out little by little, and then sprayed disinfectant around the yard, fearing that the snow would melt and bring germs into the yard.
When he pushed it out to dump it, he ran into a neighbor who was also clearing the snow. Lin Qian's side was well equipped, with a disposable winter mask on his mouth, which made his recognition a bit low.
The person on the opposite side confirmed it, and then asked tentatively: "Are you Xiaoqian?"
Lin Qian nodded: "Uncle Liu."
Lin Qian had a deep impression of him. When he was a child, when his parents were there, his grandfather lived here. He often came here to eat the delicious food made by his grandfather. At that time, Uncle Liu's son was still young, and he often smelled the aroma. Leaning on the wall and looking this way, sometimes grandpa is happy, and he will beckon him to come and eat together.At this time, Uncle Liu would always give a few lectures, but he would not stop him.
"Recently...very good, right?" Uncle Liu lost a lot of weight. Looking at Lin Qian who was fully armed, he was still strong, and he didn't look like he was suffering.
"It's not good at this time. I don't dare to come out at home. Fortunately, I bought a lot of coal, so I just need to keep it from freezing."
After saying hello, I didn't dare to talk too much, and went back to the yard as soon as possible to clear the snow.
The snowflakes were still floating all over the sky. After clearing the snow, I looked back and saw that there was another layer of snow in the place where I cleared first.
This is impossible.Lin Qian and He Yangxuan simply switched shifts, each sweeping once an hour, sweeping the snow away in piles.The snow must be cleaned up more frequently when it is not piled up. If it becomes large, it will take a lot of effort.
Fortunately, the two of them are fine now, so it's time to pass the time.
Grandpa felt sorry for the two of them being so busy, so after thinking about it, he decided to kill a chicken to make up for them.
In fact, there is no shortage of meat at home. There are a lot of meat in the two refrigerators and freezers upstairs and downstairs in the house. There are also two freezers in the basement that freeze a lot of cut meat, and I also bought bacon and sausages.Eating meat for the past two years has not been a problem.
However, no matter how much stock there is, I always feel that there is no fresh one that is more nutritious, and the taste is better when it is freshly killed.
Lin Qian was used to seeing it when he was a child, but He Yangxuan had never seen it before. He was curious and awkward, so he stood behind Lin Qian and stretched his neck to watch.
The chicken is a healthy rooster, and the blood of the chicken must be kept.Grandpa grabbed the chicken wings and head with one hand, and cut the chicken's throat with a kitchen knife. After several struggles to no avail, the chicken gradually lost its life.
Lin Qian turned his head and saw He Yangxuan watching his grandfather kill the chicken with a look of disgust and irritation.
"What's your expression?" Lin Qian smiled speechlessly.
"I've never seen this before." He Yangxuan pushed Lin Qian, "My master called you."
Lin Qian went over and picked up the basin of chicken blood and stirred it up.Grandpa went to the kitchen, poured boiling water on the dead chicken to shed its feathers, and then disemboweled it.
"Aren't you going to help? Aren't you very diligent?" Lin Qian teased He Yangxuan.
"Please forgive me, it's good if I can eat it now, let me touch it?" He Yangxuan took two steps back with a look of disgust.
Lin Qian smiled, and went to clean up with his grandfather.
Most people in the village kill chickens and leave the chicken intestines, but grandpa likes to eat chicken intestines very much. He specially keeps them, washes them repeatedly with water and salt, and adds them when stewing the chicken. It tastes good and tastes good.
And Lin Qian likes to eat chicken gizzards the most. Every time the family kills a chicken, it belongs to Lin Qian.
After working for a while, the chicken was finally cooked.Grandpa stewed chicken with heavy ingredients, and the house was full of fragrance when stewed, and that taste is so attractive.
At this moment, just by smelling the smell, most of the nausea in He Yangxuan's heart can be dispelled.
"Master, how did you stew this chicken? It's really delicious."
Grandpa hugged his arms and said with a smile: "How can I stew it, let's stew it in a pot."
After stewing for a while, I added a handful of mushrooms, and about ten minutes before it came out of the pot, I grabbed a handful of vermicelli and put it in. When it came out of the pot, the aroma in the house was so strong.
At the table, Lin Qian picked up a chopsticks of vermicelli first, mixed it with the rice, and took a big bite of the rice with the vermicelli.
There is nothing happier than watching the grandson eat the food he cooked so deliciously. Grandpa is so happy in his heart.
"It's delicious!"
Lin Qian nodded sharply.In fact, he doesn't like to eat chicken very much. He likes to eat the mushrooms and vermicelli that his grandfather adds to the stewed chicken.The vermicelli is pure potato vermicelli from the local area, and the mushrooms are pure wild mushrooms bought from the villagers. It is delicious to mix with rice.
Everyone has their own preferences for stewed chicken, and each has its own taste.What grandpa made was the best taste in Lin Qian's memory.
He Yangxuan put a piece of mushroom into his mouth. The condiment was enough, the seasoning was slightly heavy, but it was very tasty.These days, He Yangxuan has gotten used to the taste of grandpa's cooking. The more he eats, the more he feels inseparable from him.
There are no garbage trucks in the countryside, so naturally there are no garbage cans.Generally, what kind of garbage is dumped directly into the ditch opposite the gate. Generally, the other side of the ditch is the house of the previous street. Sometimes it flows into other people's yards, and there is nothing to do.However, Lin Qian's house had the advantage of the terrain. Behind it was a deep ravine, and all kinds of garbage and dirty water were poured into it.
Ever since Lin Fengying left last time, she has never come to the door again.As for her son Da Zhuang, he is probably gone.
The third month of the plague was a month when the death toll escalated. Every day in this month, the global death toll broke the record of hundreds of billions.
And just when people all over the world were in despair, one day the number of deaths suddenly decreased by half.
In the face of this unprecedented large-scale disaster, countries around the world put down their prejudices and shared resources, and uploaded the number of confirmed cases and deaths every week.
In the new statistics, the number of new infections has plummeted by a large proportion compared to usual.
No one knows why, but whatever the reason, fewer people who get sick mean fewer people will take away.
This exciting news is broadcast on major TV stations almost every day.
There have been various predictions again, saying that it won't be long before the disaster of the century will pass, and mankind will be reborn.
Listening to what was said on TV, Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, they were right. When the rate of infection began to decline, it did mean that the plague had officially passed.
Of course, the days to come may not be easier than this plague.
There was a hen in the coop that was so depressed that she didn't lay eggs, but when the other hens laid eggs, she lay still on it, obviously trying to hatch eggs.
Grandpa tried several times to make it more awake. After all, the hatching chicks are more likely to freeze to death at this time. However, after trying a few times, the hen is determined to be a mother.
In the end, grandpa saw that it was pitiful, so he moved it to the boiler room, made a nest for it, and put twenty eggs in it. The little hen was content to eat less and incubate the eggs every day.Lin Qian was curious about this, and he didn't get angry when he touched the egg every day, and he seemed quite docile.
In this way, Lin Qian and He Yangxuan had a new job. They went to take photos of the eggs every morning and evening. They almost watched the little dots inside the eggs gradually grow up, and they were fully formed in 20 days. They could even faintly hear the chicks inside. cry.
"Listen, listen, this is calling!" He Yangxuan put a warm egg next to Lin Qian's ear, and the two looked at each other, seeing the smile on the other's face.
In the past two days, the hen has also become more excited, moving the egg with her beak from time to time, as if she could feel the baby inside eagerly wanting to break out of the egg shell and come into this world.
Grandpa opened the door and came in, returned the egg to the little hen, and drove the two of them out: "It's a pity that you two are almost 30 years old, and you look like two and a half children. Those who didn't know thought it was you two cubs."
There is an automatic chicken feeding tool at home, which Lin Qian bought during the stockpiling period, as well as open feed for chicks, and feed for a month.
Now the village actually pays attention to feeding the chickens, especially in the first ten days, if the chickens only eat the feed, they will grow very fast later and have more meat.Feed some corn in the future, and fill the garden with chickens to find bugs to eat.
Grandpa put the chicken feeding tools filled with chicken feed into the boiler room, fiddled with the boiler, and went on to do other things.
Early the next morning, He Yangxuan and Lin Qian went straight to the boiler room to have a look. As soon as they opened the door, they heard the crowing of chickens one after another. Don't mention the excitement at that moment.
When Lin Qian walked over again, the hen resisted a little and croaked twice, but Lin Qian didn't stop him when he reached out to touch its body.Lin Qian touched the eggshell, and took out a small chicken that had dried up. When the tender yellow chicken is the most beautiful, Lin Qian hurriedly handed it to He Yangxuan, asking him to take a good look too.
In this way, it is also understandable that He Yangxuan subconsciously guessed people's hearts.Growing up in such an environment, how can I get used to thinking about the kind side of my heart?
"God is fair. They will always pay the price for what they get that doesn't belong to them." Lin Qian said.
He Yangxuan: "Not necessarily. What did my father and mother do wrong? Human lives have been killed by them, and what happens to them is not enough to make up for what they did."
Lin Qian didn't know what to say. After all, he was not an experiencer. No matter how much he tried to put himself in his shoes, it was impossible for him to have the same experience and thoughts as He Yangxuan.
"Then let's not think about them." Lin Qian said with a smile, "Our life is beautiful, why bother to punish ourselves with other people's sins, let's not mention this. I was thinking, planting a vine in the house is because I am afraid of the old house The vines over there were frozen to death. Next year, let’s try to plant them indoors, and if they survive, there will be fruit.”
"Forget about grapes, or it's unrealistic to grow fruits indoors. As long as they are sweet fruits, they need a lot of light. The indoor light intensity is not good. If the outside is about the same, considering the climate, you can grow it in a greenhouse. As long as Control point irrigation, don't worry about the finished product, the taste is still good."
The fruit trees planted in Lin Qian's house are all grown by chance, and he is diligent if he can get some pesticides. How could he think of light?Grandpa hated that blocking the sun would affect the growth of the corn several times, and Lin Qian stopped him when he wanted to cut it several times.
"That's right, but isn't it too much for us to build a greenhouse just to eat fruit?" In the future, some people will not be able to eat.
He Yangxuan pointed to the top of his head: "On the roof, keep the bees together, plant a few dwarf trees, and then plant some other vegetables. As for the ground, if it is easier to make it easier, let's even set up greenhouses all over the yard. Others will only say that we are prescient. If it is dazzling, as long as we live better than others, some people will be jealous. There is no way to avoid it. The only way is to be so strong that others dare not mess with it."
"You didn't see the stone thrown behind your back." Lin Qian said this, but He Yangxuan's words were in his heart.
"But when we recover to the point where we can buy dwarf saplings in the future, I'm afraid it will be a little bit hanging." Lin Qian worried.
He Yangxuan took out the jade pendant from his chest, shook it twice: "I have it."
Lin Qian pointed to the door: "How can my grandfather explain it?"
"I don't explain." He Yangxuan said: "I can feel that grandpa actually understands everything, but he just didn't say it clearly. Even if we sell him a big loophole, he may not open his face and say that he is waiting for us to tell him directly. he."
"You mean you plan to tell him?" Lin Qian was a little startled.
"Why not?" He Yangxuan laughed.
"This is your family's ancestral secret..." Lin Qian couldn't believe it. This is a terrible secret. Did you just tell his family?
"I believe that the person who can raise you must be as trustworthy as you. I trust you, and of course I trust your only relative." He Yangxuan's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
Lin Qian's touch was naturally indescribable. To be trusted like this was also a great achievement in this world.
"That's why you trust me?" Lin Qian asked.
"You have even told me about the end times, so of course I will share my secrets with you." He Yangxuan put the jade pendant back into his clothes, "I also believe in my vision, if the friends who have been together for ten years are unreliable, then I died because of my own stupidity."
"Don't worry, no one will find out about your space." Lin Qian's eyes were a little firm.
Looking at each other, He Yangxuan smiled frankly: "In this world, I can only trust you alone."
Hearing these words, Lin Qian felt awkward for no reason, and looked at He Yangxuan, as if he saw something in He Yangxuan's eyes.
Lin Qian felt that he was thinking too much, and thought for a while and said, "Since college, aren't we life and death buddies?"
"Yes." He Yangxuan said with a smile, "Brother."
Lin Qian always felt that this smile was a little bit bitter. He felt that he was thinking too much. Lin Qian stood up and walked towards the door: "It's almost dinner time. I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help."
Lin Qian walked out of the room, He Yangxuan watched the door close, and heaved a long sigh.Standing up, she threw herself directly on Lin Qian's quilt, and took a deep breath.
My heart is full, and I can't express the feelings that are about to overflow. I face Lin Qian every day, but I can only call myself a good friend. How many people understand this pain?How many times He Yangxuan had the urge to speak out, but he was afraid that his friends would not be able to do it after he said it.
So why let them have so many years of friendship?How good would it be if you didn't know anyone?Don't agree to pat your ass and leave after confessing, no worries.
Isn't that bullshit?If you don't know, how can you like it?
After the outbreak of the plague, He Yangxuan really had the urge to show his cards directly. Anyway, he now has a lot of supplies in his hand, and he used the supplies full of space to exchange Lin Qian's "luck" for him. He Yangxuan was very happy.But He Yangxuan couldn't do such an outrageous thing, which was also an insult to Lin Qian.
He Yangxuan grabbed the bed sheet, he is like a thief even if he eats tofu now, and he still wants to pretend to be a good buddy, a good buddy, your sister.
At this moment, the door opened suddenly, He Yangxuan raised his head suddenly, and met Lin Qian's surprised eyes.
"What's wrong?"
He Yangxuan's psychological quality is good after all, as if nothing happened, he put on a forced smile: "I feel a little sick to my stomach."
Lin Qian didn't doubt that there was him. He Yangxuan had something wrong with his stomach: "Did you take your medicine?"
"It's not good to take too much medicine. I just use an electric heater to dry it." There is always an electric heater in the house. It can be used for four hours after being plugged in for five minutes, which is very convenient.
"By the way, my grandfather has finished cooking, and there is soup tonight. Why don't you insist on drinking some first? Drinking soup also nourishes the stomach."
He Yangxuan nodded, sat up, he was still clutching his stomach, his brows were slightly wrinkled.
"Did you feel uncomfortable when you talked to me just now? You are really capable, I didn't see it at all just now." So the bitterness I saw just now is not an expression of emotion, but a real discomfort.With this explanation, Lin Qian began to laugh at himself for thinking too much.
"No, it was just uncomfortable."
The two went downstairs to eat together, and the grandfather raised his eyes and saw that something was wrong with He Yangxuan: "What's wrong?"
"He Yangxuan's stomach hurts. He's sick. I'll ask him to come down and drink more soup." Lin Qian explained.
"Well, if you have a stomachache, you should eat something hot and soft. Eat more eggs, and don't eat spicy ones. I will cook some porridge for you at night. If you have a bad stomach, take good care of it. If it doesn't get better, it will be a disaster." , or you will come here when you get old. Come, have some soup."
Grandpa was nagging about serving soup to He Yangxuan, He Yangxuan quickly took it with both hands, and said thank you twice.After losing his grandfather and mother since he was a child, He Yangxuan has hardly received this kind of warmth from his elders. He Yangxuan is grateful and satisfied.
Sleeping at night, He Yangxuan sneaked into Lin Qian's room again.Lin Qian had no choice but to ask, "Don't you have a house?"
"It's boring to sleep alone." He Yangxuan smiled harmlessly.
"Didn't you always sleep alone before?" Lin Qian said helplessly.
"I used to be busy all day, and the time for sleeping was squeezed out. Of course, I fell asleep when I touched the pillow. Now I sleep every day and wake up every day. I wake up and wake up. It's too uncomfortable. Why don't you watch a movie or something with you, watching sleepy? I'll go to bed when I'm done." He Yangxuan got into Lin Qian's bed, his face blushing and his heart beating wildly.
Lin Qian wanted to read a novel for a while, but when He Yangxuan came, he still had to follow He Yangxuan's mind to watch a movie.After all, He Yangxuan's stomachache is a sickness, so he has to follow him.
Turned on the computer and looked at the downloading queue for a while, and turned over two pages and couldn't find what I wanted to see, so I just handed it to He Yangxuan.
He Yangxuan looked around twice but couldn't find anything he wanted to watch, so he directly searched for "Brokeback Mountain" on the video client.
Lin Qian's face froze: "Are you sure you want to watch this?"
He Yangxuan pretended to be ignorant, blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No..." Lin Qian decided to shut up. It's understandable that He Yangxuan has been busy with the company all year round. In fact, Lin Qian didn't know much. At most, he listened to the little girls in the office saying nothing.
Satisfied, He Yangxuan connected the computer to the projector, clicked on the playback, and looked up to watch.
Lin Qian lay on the side with an embarrassed expression on his face, looking up at the movie on the ceiling.
After seeing the end of the movie, both of them were a little silent.Lin Qian was embarrassed at first, but in the end there was only sighs left.
He was not in a hurry to make a speech, and He Yangxuan couldn't help but speak: "Tell me, what would happen if these two people were in modern times?"
"I don't know. Leaving aside the countryside, cities in contemporary society still have a high acceptance of homosexuality." That's all Lin Qian could think of.
He Yangxuan was a little silent. Just when Lin Qian thought that He Yangxuan would not say anything more, He Yangxuan suddenly asked, "What do you think it feels like when a man kisses a man?"
Lin Qian's hair was about to explode.
"How would I know!"
He Yangxuan turned sideways to prop up his body with one hand, and looked at Lin Qian from top to bottom: "I think they kissed very vigorously, and the style is not at all different from those idol dramas. Are two men just like a man and a woman? Is it different?"
"What's the point of asking me? I haven't even held a girl's hand." Although it makes people blush to say this, he is still a virgin at the age of 28.
He Yangxuan was even more excited after hearing this: "Then let's try it?"
Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, but He Yangxuan had already suppressed it.
Lin Qian pushed subconsciously and turned his head away.
There was disappointment in He Yangxuan's eyes, and then there was a burst of laughter: "Hahaha, are you scared?"
Lin Qian heaved a sigh of relief, but felt empty again in his heart. He stretched out his hand and hammered He Yangxuan's chest: "You are not energetic, are you kidding me?"
"It's boring, I'm going to lie on your bed too." He Yangxuan lowered his head, looked at Lin Qian, the light was dim, Lin Qian couldn't see He Yangxuan's eyes clearly, "To be honest, have you ever had a date?"
With such a distance, Lin Qian could even feel the airflow of He Yangxuan's breath.With a little heat on his face, he said angrily: "I have that time? You reflect on yourself, how have you squeezed me these years?"
He Yangxuan thought about it, and burst out laughing: "It really is."
"Lie down on your side, this side is crowded enough, you still go to this side." Lin Qian pushed He Yangxuan over there.
He Yangxuan lay on his side, looking at the list of characters at the end of the movie on the ceiling, he hesitated to speak.
Lin Qian said: "It's not that I haven't thought about looking for it. To be honest, I've downloaded two dating apps, but I haven't been able to find the one I'm interested in. It's a waste of time to try it."
He Yangxuan's heart was beating wildly, and he tried to keep his tone relaxed: "Maybe he likes men."
"Get out." Lin Qian only thought he was joking.
"You said what should you do if you really like a man?" He Yangxuan asked.
Lin Qian really thought about it seriously. After all, he had just watched such a movie, and if he brought it in, it was just a review of the movie.
"It will definitely be covered to death. Needless to say, my grandfather, so many children are only my grandchildren, waiting for me to get married and have children, how can you be willing to let him down?"
He Yangxuan was stabbed in the bottom of his heart, and asked with a forced smile: "Then will you marry and have children as your master thinks?"
"How is it possible? I have to be responsible for my life. If I really only have feelings for men, why should I waste a woman's life? I'm not responsible for my children."
"Your awareness is quite high." He Yangxuan's heart twitched, his breath was trembling.
"What about you?" Lin Qian asked He Yangxuan after substituting for himself.
Of course, it is to stalk the person you like until the other person likes you.
The above are the true thoughts in He Yangxuan's heart.
"Seriously speaking, I... If, if I meet someone I like so much that I have to, I will definitely pursue what I want based on my own feelings."
Lin Qian smiled and said, "That's right, with you, there shouldn't be anything you can't ask for."
He Yangxuan changed his posture and patted the pillow: "Your pillow is unscientific, you can't sleep."
"You don't have a pillow in your space that you're used to?" Lin Qian turned off his laptop and projector, feeling sleepy.
He Yangxuan took Lin Qian's hand with one hand, and put it under his neck, with his head still resting on the pillow: "It's much more comfortable this way."
Lin Qian pulled back or not, frowning: "What are you doing with my hands?"
"The height is just right. It's okay, my neck is not heavy." He Yangxuan rubbed his head against the pillow, his neck touched Lin Qian's arm, and closed his eyes satisfied.
Lin Qian had no choice but to close his eyes and fall asleep.
It was night, Lin Qian had a dream.
I dreamed that I was walking in the forest, the air was fresh and pleasant, very comfortable.At this time, I faintly heard someone calling me, and when I looked back, that person was sitting on the top of a tree, waving at him.
Lin Qian walked over quickly and looked up at him, only to see him jumping down. Lin Qian couldn't dodge in time, and was directly pressed to the ground. He heard the man say, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Then the clothes on his body were taken off one by one, and he faced each other calmly in the forest like this, and did something shameless and shameless.
Lin Qian woke up suddenly and couldn't move his right hand. When he turned his head and saw the face with a little stubble stabbing at him, he suddenly withdrew his hand and got up.
He Yangxuan suddenly lost the arm that was propping his neck, and stretched out his hand to touch it uncomfortably, his eyes slightly opened and narrowed: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Lin Qian felt a little guilty, got out of bed and put on his clothes, "Let's see if it's raining or snowing outside, no matter what's going on, we have to pack it up."
He Yangxuan also sat up: "Then I will accompany you."
Lin Qian didn't dare to look at He Yangxuan, so he put on his clothes and said, "I'm waiting for you outside," before going out.
He Yangxuan became more energetic, and looked at the closed door inexplicably, and usually went out together.
The old man felt little, and when Lin Qian went downstairs, his grandfather was already sitting in front of the sofa watching TV.The morning news was still playing on the TV, and the content of the news was about the plague and weird weather. Looking at the latest data given, the number of dead people had exceeded [-] million.In this short period of time, the global population has lost more than one billion people, and the number of deaths in some countries with substandard sanitation has doubled.
Lin Qian looked sad, and was even more afraid of the old man's sentimentality. He went over and said, "Play some discs for you? Don't you like watching costume dramas? I bought a lot of discs. You choose one."
Grandpa shook his head: "It's okay, it's good to see this."
"This is so bad." Lin Qian said.
"It's okay, it's not like if you don't read it, you don't have it. If you read it more, you will know how lucky you are to be alive. You must know how to be grateful." Grandpa sighed.
"Is it snowing outside today?" Lin Qian asked.
Grandpa: "It's snowing, don't take it seriously. Is Xiaoxuan awake?"
"Getting dressed." Lin Qian opened the door and went out to have a look. There was still snowflakes in the sky, and the air was humid and cold, so cold that his bones shivered.
This is the Northeast, and it stands to reason that the air should be dry and cold.The dry cold is not difficult to resist. It is good to wear thick clothes to prevent the wind from penetrating, but the wet cold is not good.
Lin Qian closed the door and went to the boiler room. Seeing the coals in the fire burning red, he added some more coal.
The more this kind of weather, the more adequate the indoor heating.Especially when the plague is raging, the germs cannot be given a chance.
Go to the livestock pen to see that the stove is also lit in the livestock pen. A long chimney runs across the entire pigsty from the east, and it is not discharged from the upper chimney until the west. This design, as long as the fire is lit, the entire livestock pen will burn. is warm.
The livestock side was a bit worse, because Gai didn’t get those in a hurry, but just ordered a smokeless stove that was bought for outdoor use and put it in the center, and the inside of the circle was well ventilated.At the same time, the perimeter of the stove should also be surrounded by wooden boards, and the top is also covered with two layers of barbed wire.
Chickens, ducks, and geese gather wherever they are warm, and sometimes they don't care whether they can bear it or not.I heard from the old man that in the early years, it was very cold in winter. Some people felt sorry for the chickens at home, and they took them to the kitchen for fear of freezing to death.There was a fire in the kang stove in the kitchen, and I forgot to block the burner.
When I went to the kitchen the next day and saw that there was no chicken, the family thought it was haunted.As a result, when I was cooking, I swept the fire stick into it and felt something. I pulled it out with the fire stick and saw that it was a cooked chicken.Then the pot was directly removed, and the chickens, big and small, were all under the pot, and they were all roasted chicken.
For warmth, drill directly into the wood-burning stove for warmth.
So I deliberately surrounded the stove.
Although the heat provided by the smokeless stove is limited, poultry are better able to keep out the cold, and they like to gather together, so they will not be too cold.
Back home, there was no one in the living room, and when he went into the kitchen, he found that grandpa was preparing breakfast with He Yangxuan.Grandpa is frying eggs, and He Yangxuan is cooking soup.
"Grandpa, do you think it's okay to be so hot?" He Yangxuan called each grandfather amiably.
"Okay, just cook for a while. You go back to the house and watch TV for a while, and I'll call you when it's ready." Grandpa also likes this diligent young man very much.
"I'm idle and boring. I just learned how to cook from you. I used to be busy at work, and sometimes I didn't have time to eat, and my stomach broke down. Now I have plenty of time in the future, so I can eat well to nourish my stomach."
Grandpa liked to hear this, and nodded repeatedly: "Young people as old as you can think so little. Some of the half-grown children in the village have to learn how to lose weight at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Eating. This is not like it, it is not good for your health, you have to eat well. Otherwise, you will always starve yourself for the rest of your life, and you will be lucky if you die."
He Yangxuan repeatedly said yes, turned around and saw Lin Qian who was watching the excitement, and waved to him: "Come here to cook?"
"The big fart is not enough to toss around." Lin Qian took the bowls and chopsticks and went to the living room to set them up. Although there is a dining table in the kitchen, they all like to eat while watching TV, so they put the food on the coffee table and ate it on the sofa .
Sitting on the sofa and waiting for dinner, Lin Qian remembered the spring dream he had in the morning.He didn't see the face clearly in the dream, but he subconsciously felt that the person was He Yangxuan.Forget about Chun and Meng, they are still men, and it’s okay for men, they still fight in the field.
He Yangxuan first came over holding the soup bowl with a rag, then hurried over to put the soup bowl down, and touched his ears.
"It's really hot."
Breakfast is steamed buns, fried eggs and soup.In fact, most of the breakfasts in the countryside were made of porcelain. Lin Qian and He Yangxuan were used to soup and water. Grandpa felt good after eating it for a few days, so he ate along with it.
After breakfast, the snowflakes in the yard have not yet reached the point of sweeping.Lin Qian went to the pool on the second floor to look at the fish pond.The fish pond has been supplied with water 24 hours a day, and it is still circulating water. One-third of the water is changed every two or three days, so after raising [-] fish fry, now only two or three fish have died, and the rest are very vigorous.
Lin Qian grabbed the fish food and fed them. This group of fish was used to this kind of feeding, and every time they saw a figure, they would rush up to wait for food.
At this time, He Yangxuan came up to call him, saying that the health team had come again.
Recently, the health team has come frequently, and every time they check whether they are infected, but now the infected people will be taken away directly.
Going downstairs, Lin Qian was a little apprehensive when he saw the heavily armed people.In fact, he knew that these people were heroes.In such a time when every household is closed and everyone is in danger, it is great to walk around just to reduce the spread of the plague.
Use a lancet to collect a drop of blood from your fingertip and put it into the machine, which will analyze the blood and show if it is infected with a virus.
All three tested positive for the infection.Although he knew it was fine, he was relieved when he got the safety news.
Grandpa put Bondi on his hand and asked, "Comrade, how many people are left in the village now?"
The health team was silent for a while, and gave a general answer: "Less than half."
General and cruel answer.The grandfather and the three were a little silent. After thinking about it, it was Lin Qian who spoke first: "Is there... no one else?"
The health team nodded and said sadly: "There are many. Basically, one person is infected, and people close to him have a high chance of infection. It is the right decision not to go out now. If anyone is found to be infected, they must be quickly isolated Fully disinfect. I say this to almost every household, but less than half of them actually do it.”
Thorough disinfection means that everything in the yard must be disinfected, including clothes, bedding, floor furniture, and even tableware.But in most people's perception, disinfection is just to sprinkle some disinfectant in the room, and even after the detailed explanation, it will not meet the standard due to various reasons, increasing the risk of infection.
The health team had to go to the next house as soon as possible, and left some disinfection tools for Lin Qian's house before leaving.
Things in the village can only be known through the health team, because there are too few people in the same village on WeChat, so little is known.
This plague lasted for seven full months.
The first blizzard caught people off guard. When I woke up, the snow in the yard was knee-deep.Grandpa got up the earliest, and part of the snow has already been cleared.
After Lin Qian and He Yangxuan woke up, they invited grandpa back to the small building. The two pushed the cart to clear the snow out little by little, and then sprayed disinfectant around the yard, fearing that the snow would melt and bring germs into the yard.
When he pushed it out to dump it, he ran into a neighbor who was also clearing the snow. Lin Qian's side was well equipped, with a disposable winter mask on his mouth, which made his recognition a bit low.
The person on the opposite side confirmed it, and then asked tentatively: "Are you Xiaoqian?"
Lin Qian nodded: "Uncle Liu."
Lin Qian had a deep impression of him. When he was a child, when his parents were there, his grandfather lived here. He often came here to eat the delicious food made by his grandfather. At that time, Uncle Liu's son was still young, and he often smelled the aroma. Leaning on the wall and looking this way, sometimes grandpa is happy, and he will beckon him to come and eat together.At this time, Uncle Liu would always give a few lectures, but he would not stop him.
"Recently...very good, right?" Uncle Liu lost a lot of weight. Looking at Lin Qian who was fully armed, he was still strong, and he didn't look like he was suffering.
"It's not good at this time. I don't dare to come out at home. Fortunately, I bought a lot of coal, so I just need to keep it from freezing."
After saying hello, I didn't dare to talk too much, and went back to the yard as soon as possible to clear the snow.
The snowflakes were still floating all over the sky. After clearing the snow, I looked back and saw that there was another layer of snow in the place where I cleared first.
This is impossible.Lin Qian and He Yangxuan simply switched shifts, each sweeping once an hour, sweeping the snow away in piles.The snow must be cleaned up more frequently when it is not piled up. If it becomes large, it will take a lot of effort.
Fortunately, the two of them are fine now, so it's time to pass the time.
Grandpa felt sorry for the two of them being so busy, so after thinking about it, he decided to kill a chicken to make up for them.
In fact, there is no shortage of meat at home. There are a lot of meat in the two refrigerators and freezers upstairs and downstairs in the house. There are also two freezers in the basement that freeze a lot of cut meat, and I also bought bacon and sausages.Eating meat for the past two years has not been a problem.
However, no matter how much stock there is, I always feel that there is no fresh one that is more nutritious, and the taste is better when it is freshly killed.
Lin Qian was used to seeing it when he was a child, but He Yangxuan had never seen it before. He was curious and awkward, so he stood behind Lin Qian and stretched his neck to watch.
The chicken is a healthy rooster, and the blood of the chicken must be kept.Grandpa grabbed the chicken wings and head with one hand, and cut the chicken's throat with a kitchen knife. After several struggles to no avail, the chicken gradually lost its life.
Lin Qian turned his head and saw He Yangxuan watching his grandfather kill the chicken with a look of disgust and irritation.
"What's your expression?" Lin Qian smiled speechlessly.
"I've never seen this before." He Yangxuan pushed Lin Qian, "My master called you."
Lin Qian went over and picked up the basin of chicken blood and stirred it up.Grandpa went to the kitchen, poured boiling water on the dead chicken to shed its feathers, and then disemboweled it.
"Aren't you going to help? Aren't you very diligent?" Lin Qian teased He Yangxuan.
"Please forgive me, it's good if I can eat it now, let me touch it?" He Yangxuan took two steps back with a look of disgust.
Lin Qian smiled, and went to clean up with his grandfather.
Most people in the village kill chickens and leave the chicken intestines, but grandpa likes to eat chicken intestines very much. He specially keeps them, washes them repeatedly with water and salt, and adds them when stewing the chicken. It tastes good and tastes good.
And Lin Qian likes to eat chicken gizzards the most. Every time the family kills a chicken, it belongs to Lin Qian.
After working for a while, the chicken was finally cooked.Grandpa stewed chicken with heavy ingredients, and the house was full of fragrance when stewed, and that taste is so attractive.
At this moment, just by smelling the smell, most of the nausea in He Yangxuan's heart can be dispelled.
"Master, how did you stew this chicken? It's really delicious."
Grandpa hugged his arms and said with a smile: "How can I stew it, let's stew it in a pot."
After stewing for a while, I added a handful of mushrooms, and about ten minutes before it came out of the pot, I grabbed a handful of vermicelli and put it in. When it came out of the pot, the aroma in the house was so strong.
At the table, Lin Qian picked up a chopsticks of vermicelli first, mixed it with the rice, and took a big bite of the rice with the vermicelli.
There is nothing happier than watching the grandson eat the food he cooked so deliciously. Grandpa is so happy in his heart.
"It's delicious!"
Lin Qian nodded sharply.In fact, he doesn't like to eat chicken very much. He likes to eat the mushrooms and vermicelli that his grandfather adds to the stewed chicken.The vermicelli is pure potato vermicelli from the local area, and the mushrooms are pure wild mushrooms bought from the villagers. It is delicious to mix with rice.
Everyone has their own preferences for stewed chicken, and each has its own taste.What grandpa made was the best taste in Lin Qian's memory.
He Yangxuan put a piece of mushroom into his mouth. The condiment was enough, the seasoning was slightly heavy, but it was very tasty.These days, He Yangxuan has gotten used to the taste of grandpa's cooking. The more he eats, the more he feels inseparable from him.
There are no garbage trucks in the countryside, so naturally there are no garbage cans.Generally, what kind of garbage is dumped directly into the ditch opposite the gate. Generally, the other side of the ditch is the house of the previous street. Sometimes it flows into other people's yards, and there is nothing to do.However, Lin Qian's house had the advantage of the terrain. Behind it was a deep ravine, and all kinds of garbage and dirty water were poured into it.
Ever since Lin Fengying left last time, she has never come to the door again.As for her son Da Zhuang, he is probably gone.
The third month of the plague was a month when the death toll escalated. Every day in this month, the global death toll broke the record of hundreds of billions.
And just when people all over the world were in despair, one day the number of deaths suddenly decreased by half.
In the face of this unprecedented large-scale disaster, countries around the world put down their prejudices and shared resources, and uploaded the number of confirmed cases and deaths every week.
In the new statistics, the number of new infections has plummeted by a large proportion compared to usual.
No one knows why, but whatever the reason, fewer people who get sick mean fewer people will take away.
This exciting news is broadcast on major TV stations almost every day.
There have been various predictions again, saying that it won't be long before the disaster of the century will pass, and mankind will be reborn.
Listening to what was said on TV, Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, they were right. When the rate of infection began to decline, it did mean that the plague had officially passed.
Of course, the days to come may not be easier than this plague.
There was a hen in the coop that was so depressed that she didn't lay eggs, but when the other hens laid eggs, she lay still on it, obviously trying to hatch eggs.
Grandpa tried several times to make it more awake. After all, the hatching chicks are more likely to freeze to death at this time. However, after trying a few times, the hen is determined to be a mother.
In the end, grandpa saw that it was pitiful, so he moved it to the boiler room, made a nest for it, and put twenty eggs in it. The little hen was content to eat less and incubate the eggs every day.Lin Qian was curious about this, and he didn't get angry when he touched the egg every day, and he seemed quite docile.
In this way, Lin Qian and He Yangxuan had a new job. They went to take photos of the eggs every morning and evening. They almost watched the little dots inside the eggs gradually grow up, and they were fully formed in 20 days. They could even faintly hear the chicks inside. cry.
"Listen, listen, this is calling!" He Yangxuan put a warm egg next to Lin Qian's ear, and the two looked at each other, seeing the smile on the other's face.
In the past two days, the hen has also become more excited, moving the egg with her beak from time to time, as if she could feel the baby inside eagerly wanting to break out of the egg shell and come into this world.
Grandpa opened the door and came in, returned the egg to the little hen, and drove the two of them out: "It's a pity that you two are almost 30 years old, and you look like two and a half children. Those who didn't know thought it was you two cubs."
There is an automatic chicken feeding tool at home, which Lin Qian bought during the stockpiling period, as well as open feed for chicks, and feed for a month.
Now the village actually pays attention to feeding the chickens, especially in the first ten days, if the chickens only eat the feed, they will grow very fast later and have more meat.Feed some corn in the future, and fill the garden with chickens to find bugs to eat.
Grandpa put the chicken feeding tools filled with chicken feed into the boiler room, fiddled with the boiler, and went on to do other things.
Early the next morning, He Yangxuan and Lin Qian went straight to the boiler room to have a look. As soon as they opened the door, they heard the crowing of chickens one after another. Don't mention the excitement at that moment.
When Lin Qian walked over again, the hen resisted a little and croaked twice, but Lin Qian didn't stop him when he reached out to touch its body.Lin Qian touched the eggshell, and took out a small chicken that had dried up. When the tender yellow chicken is the most beautiful, Lin Qian hurriedly handed it to He Yangxuan, asking him to take a good look too.
