Doomsday Grain

"Wherever it's a village, it's the same in the city." He Yangxuan saw much more than Lin Qian.In the company, Lin Qian basically dealt with the one-acre three-point area of ​​his business. He Yangxuan, the general manager, had to pay attention to the status of the employees at all times.

The girls in the company are glamorous on the surface, but in fact, few are really carefree.Most of them are rooted more or less in family or social discrimination.See more, but not feel strange.

"Fortunately, in the city, there are no people in the village who are so constrained and can walk more. Unfortunately, in our village, there are still few people who go out. At most, they go out to work for a few years, and then come back to listen to the arrangements for marriage. There are not many people who find a partner by themselves. .”

The car was almost full of ice, and He Yangxuan suddenly asked, "You said if you were a woman, would you be able to get out?"

In that situation back then, Lin Qian, a little boy, was under high pressure from all sides, which made him almost unable to go to university or go out. If it was a girl, the pressure would almost be doubled.

"Yes, my grandfather is different from them. Let me tell you this, if any family in the village says to let their children go to school, regardless of whether they are male or female, they can go over and persuade them. Don't think he can't read a few big characters, But I have always firmly believed that books are the best way out, and there is no distinction between men and women.” Taking medical books as an example, my grandfather once said that if his eldest daughter Fu Bo hadn’t died early, the family’s medical books would have been given to her.

"Then I really have to thank your grandpa for his heart, otherwise I wouldn't have known you." He Yangxuan came from a scholarly family, and it's normal for him to understand the importance of reading and knowing etiquette. Grandpa is an old man who has stayed in the countryside for so many years and still doesn't know much. It is really rare to understand this.

Lin Qian recalled the embarrassment between the two of them, and his eyes averted a little: "Isn't it because of my own efforts that I was able to pass the exam?"

The trolley was full, and Lin Qian transported the ice out again.

Once the front yard is done, there is the back yard, where the swimming pool is located.On a whim, Grandpa planned to clean out the swimming pool, and when clearing the ice, save the cleaner ice cubes, put them in the boiler room and use the stove to melt them into the swimming pool.There are many dirty things in the snow that are not easy to find, so only ice cubes are used.

According to Grandpa, if there is still a drought in the coming year, the water in the swimming pool will be just enough to irrigate the ground, saving effort.Otherwise, even if the groundwater is pumped, electricity will be used.

It goes without saying that Lin Qian has a serious hoarding habit, but He Yangxuan finds it troublesome and unnecessary, because he has a lot of containers full of water in his space, and after the snow melts, he can find a time to put the water in the swimming pool. So laborious?

"This swimming pool can hold at least [-] tons of water, sir, are you sure?" He Yangxuan pointed to the direction of the swimming pool, which is now covered by ice and snow, so he can't see it yet.

What is the concept of four hundred tons of water?It may take thousands of buckets of water to pour in a bucket of water. How long will it take to get it?

Grandpa insisted: "It's time to exercise. You two young men are too busy these days. Be obedient and move quickly."

Then grandpa drove the two unlucky children to clean out the swimming pool, and then supervised them pouring water into the swimming pool little by little.

This project is a bit big, and at the end of the day, only half of the swimming pool was filled with water. Of course, it froze quickly.

Early the next morning, Grandpa urged the two of them to continue working.Both of them suffered from sore backs and legs, and grandpa went for a walk in the village when he had nothing to do.

Grandpa left, He Yangxuan dragged Lin Qian to be lazy for a while, and went into the house for a drink of coke.

"My grandfather will really find work for the two of us." Lin Qian stretched his muscles and poured himself a refreshing sip of Coke.

"I always feel that my grandfather has other schemes." He Yangxuan always felt that his grandfather was not simple, so naturally he would not really underestimate him.

"It doesn't matter, we are sure to suffer." Lin Qian didn't care about that, anyway, he knew that Grandpa would not harm them.

It's just that buckets of water are being poured into the swimming pool, and everyone is a little bit overwhelmed.

"Speaking of which, do you feel that Grandpa has been deliberately hiding something?" He Yangxuan asked.

"It's normal. People who came from that era must have some secrets that are unknown to everyone. It doesn't matter if they can survive." Lin Qian was not curious about his grandfather's past, because it might be something deep in his heart. With the most painful scars, Lin Qian would not lift up Grandpa's scars.

"I don't think it's a bad memory." He Yangxuan said, "I always feel that what grandpa deliberately avoided is a big event, and this big event may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"If it's really a good thing, how can we not mention it? If it's meritorious deeds, the tail will go up to the sky. There is a man in the old Li's family in the village. I call him the third master. I have been a soldier for several years and was injured and retired. It's a military uniform, and if you don't take advantage of it, you can go to the yard of the county government with a cane and stand there, what a freak!"

Not only is he awesome, but sometimes he is even proud of his meritorious deeds, arrogant, and it is not an exaggeration to walk sideways in the village.But no matter how arrogant and unreasonable he was, he had shed blood for the people back then, and this alone was enough to offset the trouble he brought to the villagers.

"Even if he wasn't a soldier, it might be something else. Our father looks upright, so he doesn't look like a person with a guilty conscience." He Yangxuan is still very accurate in judging people.

"Come on, it's the old man's thief." Lin Qian's words were meant as a joke.

Taking advantage of Grandpa's absence, the two rested for a while and continued to work in the backyard.

Grandpa went straight to play poker with the two old men.Grandpa seldom went out in the past, but now there are fewer people in the village and fewer old people. It is not easy to make up three old people. It takes a whole morning for a dozen.

We were having a good time chatting and playing here, and it wasn't until noon that Grandpa remembered that there were still two hungry children at home, so he went home to cook the meal.

At noon, the two children were as hungry as wolves, and the wind was raging on the dining table. Grandpa looked very happy and put all the meat and vegetables in front of them.

"I went to the backyard to see that it was half full. Don't worry, take your time. If it is full and freezes, let's buckle it with a plastic sheet. This water storage is much more than the water tank on the roof."

Lin Qian was quite helpless, and said, "We don't lack water, do we need to carry buckets of water?"

Grandpa picked up a chicken leg for him: "It's up to you. Continue to work in the afternoon, this time you can't be lazy."

The two looked at each other and blinked.

The two of them continued to be busy in the afternoon, which made He Yangxuan think of filling it up with water directly from the space.However, grandpa came over from time to time to take a look. He hasn't told grandpa about the space right now. Since he wants to hide it, he should hide it thoroughly.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that the two entered the room to drink water, and heard a loud noise as soon as they entered the room.

Lin Qian thought it was his unlucky aunt who came again, so he walked into the room quickly, only to find a bunch of aunts sitting in the room.

Lin Qian poured himself a glass of water, with a stiff smile on his face.

"Be tired, come and sit for a while." Grandpa waved to him.

Lin Qian was not a lively person, so he shook his head, looked back to see that He Yangxuan hadn't come, and beckoned him to come over for a drink of water.

He Yangxuan glanced at it, walked over and took a sip from Lin Qian's water glass.

Grandpa had a lively chat with this group of aunts. When the two of them were about to go out, they suddenly heard someone say "Qianqian's partner". Lin Qian suddenly turned around, and He Yangxuan pulled Lin Qian away. go out.

"Why are you dragging me!" Lin Qian frowned when he saw He Yangxuan closed the door.

The matter of his marriage has always been a heart problem for grandpa.Lin Qian was still thinking about why his grandfather suddenly ignored him recently, and he co-authored to hold a blind date meeting at home.

"Then you still want to go into the house and tell us to give me a meal? We'll talk about it after people leave." He Yangxuan pulled him to continue digging ice.

"Aren't you afraid that he really decides to give me a wife?" Lin Qian looked at He Yangxuan strangely.Why is He Yangxuan not in a hurry?

The day before yesterday, He Yangxuan had hinted that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him, and it was only two days ago.

"You're in a hurry." He Yangxuan tapped Lin Qian's forehead: "Think about it, is our grandpa that kind of person?"

Lin Qian was slightly stunned. Lin Qian should be the one who knows best about his grandfather. If he was really the one who arranged marriages, how could Lin Qian be single at 28.

"Then what do you mean by grandpa?" Lin Qian was also concerned and confused. In the end of the world, he really didn't have the energy to deal with grandpa marrying him a wife.

"I'm not a roundworm in my grandfather's stomach. Just now I figured out one thing. My grandfather is not stupid. Although he is too frugal, but I wash the laundry so many times, he only muttered a few words and didn't say anything. I'm going to wash less. It can be seen that he is not really a life-saving person, why does he let the two of us pour water into the swimming pool with buckets of water?"

Lin Qian also felt strange after He Yangxuan's analysis.He knew Grandpa better than He Yangxuan, after He Yangxuan mentioned it, he hesitated and said, "Maybe it's for future plans?"

"That's the only possibility. Otherwise, how can we explain that the old man who never goes out suddenly goes out to play poker all morning, and the one who never gets in touch with the old lady finds a room all at once?" No matter how smart He Yangxuan is, he can't figure out the minds of unfamiliar people. .

And Lin Qian spends very little time at home, and the most he knows about his grandfather is the impression he had when he was a child: "But why do you do this? When the drought proves that our house has water? But doesn't our house have a water room? Just You can’t hide it even if you want to on the roof. In addition, our house has a generator, and it’s normal for our house to have water and electricity when the water and electricity are cut off.”

"Forget it, we won't ask if we don't tell our grandfather. Don't we have something to hide from our grandfather, anyway, it won't be bad for us, just wait."

The two continued to be busy, and by the afternoon and evening, the swimming pool had been filled more than half, and it would be filled almost tomorrow morning.

Lin Qian liked the pork ribs stewed at night, and he ate half of the plate by himself.

After dinner, the two of them didn't have much energy to do anything else. They lay down on the bed and played with their phones for a while and fell asleep.
