Doomsday Grain
Chapter 47
Lin Qian's house was newly built, with conscientious materials, and he was not afraid of anything. When the greenhouse was built, he was worried that the salt in the land would not be usable, and the ground was covered with a layer of bricks, so he was not afraid of the invasion of mice.
It's just that the exposed yard and the crops in the field suffered. Lin Qian had no hope for the things planted outside, but the people in the village got angry.
Every day, people go to the fields with hoes, and when they come back, they are more or less bloody.I went with the intention of replanting, but seeing the rats swarming around, I couldn't help but picked up the hoe and saw one by one.
The agricultural supply store in the village that had just resumed business was sold out of rat poison as soon as it opened. Now that it is inconvenient to buy goods, the rats are even more rampant.
Lin Qian's family also planted a circle of medicine around the yard, but there were more and more mice. That little medicine got ten or eight mice, but it couldn't kill a thousand or eight hundred.
Every household in the village was on fire, but Lin Qian's family lived comfortably.
He Yangxuan changed ways to bring good things to grandpa every day. Sometimes grandpa was amused by it, and would call the two grandsons together to teach some things, such as how to behave in the world, plowing the land and farming, and other trivial things, all in the countryside Live to learn.
Grandpa would walk around the village more when he was free, joined the team of seniors at the entrance of the village, played poker and chatted when he was free, and heard a lot about things in the village.When I came back, I talked with my two grandsons, and I became more and more enthusiastic about the fun, which made the two grandsons tireless.
The original intention of going out to listen to gossip is to know more about the things in the village, so as to save people from poking taboos when talking to people in the future.Especially after experiencing the plague last year, so many people died in the village, it is always necessary to find out who is gone, and save yourself from talking about the deceased. Isn't this poking someone's wound?
But now things are clearly not quite right.
Lin Qian and He Yangxuan are still discussing to see how far Grandpa's side is. If they are really spreading rumors like those people, then they must quickly find a way to stop it.
In the end, the two of them hadn't discussed anything yet, but Grandpa brought a message.
There is a happy event in the village, and someone gets a wife.There was courtesy in the family's gift book, and Grandpa meant to let the two of them go together, so that He Yangxuan could get acquainted with the villagers more.
As for He Yangxuan's identity, he had changed from Lin Qian's boss to the grandson of his grandfather's savior.This is a fact, and it is also dramatic. If you say it, you will say that it is a miracle arranged by fate, and the acceptance of He Yangxuan is even higher.
The married family's surname is Gao.In fact, the wedding was originally planned to be held in the late autumn of last year, but it was hit by the plague, and the wedding has been delayed.Up to now, the weather has been fine. Although the rats are troublesome, there is no delay in things like getting married.
Now the rural conditions are getting better every year, and the marriage is getting more extravagant every year.In recent years, it is quite normal for a married couple to spend [-] or [-] luxury cars to welcome their relatives.But right now, even if they have money, they don't have the conditions to be extravagant.Even if the woman wants a perfect condition, based on the current situation, there is nothing to do in three to five years.
In rural areas, people in their early 20s are usually busy with marriages, and those over 24, especially girls, feel worthless.
So even if the girl is unwilling, the woman's family has to start worrying.This kind of thinking is deeply rooted in a considerable part of the region, and unless they stay away, few people can escape from the shackles of this deformity.But in the current situation, it is easy to leave the familiar environment, how to survive?
Of course, everything cannot be considered completely pessimistically.It is also a happy beginning for two people to form a new family.
Lin Qian was really unfamiliar with the village. When he walked out, he could only find the canteen except for the houses he had visited when he was a child.
Fortunately, he didn't have to go to the newlywed's house to join in the fun, he just went to the restaurant to have a meal with the members, and he had to deal with the people sitting at the same table.
After finding a seat in the restaurant, Lin Qian asked He Yangxuan to sit down and went over to write a ceremony.
Such a thing as a follower is a long-term debt, but it is indispensable everywhere.If you are really determined, no one will follow the gangsters, then you will be completely divorced from the masses.
At this time, the restaurant was already full of people's voices, and the ears were buzzing, and it was difficult to hear a complete sentence.
With great difficulty, Lin Qian queued up to the front of the table where the gift account was kept, and handed over the 200 yuan.
"Lin Qian."
They were the only ones in the village whose surname was Lin. The person who wrote the ceremony book looked up, saw someone else, and wrote his name on it.
Seeing that the name and the amount of money were written, Lin Qian turned his head and left, but someone patted him.Lin Qian looked back, acquaintance.
"Your family is also polite?" Lin Qian smiled.
It was none other than Xue Xinyi who had just returned to the village a few days ago.
At this time, Xue Xinyi had tidied up, his face was washed, his beard was shaved, and he was wearing a white shirt, looking handsome in the sun.
He was already tall, so he looked like one of the best in the village.
"It's not a gift, it's the famine owed. You have to pay it back. Wait for me, I'll write the gift first." Xue Xinyi took two steps forward and wrote his name first.
After returning to the village, my mother died early, and my father died because of the plague.At present, the school has not yet recovered, and Xue Xinyi can only stay in the village.
Lin Qian waited for him, and went back to the restaurant together, to where He Yangxuan was sitting.At this time, there were three more people sitting on the table, all middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s. Lin Qian just looked familiar and couldn't say anything.
"Is it okay for you to eat and drink now? I still have some food and mineral water at home. You can use them later." Lin Qian asked.
Lin Qian has also been very busy recently. Sometimes he thinks of him, but he is quickly forgotten.The relationship between each other is just that of playmates in childhood. It is already very good to mention it and care about it.
Xue Xinyi said: "I have no problem. I was not at home before, and two families were arranged to live in my house during the flood. Now that I am back, the government has also given me subsidies. In addition, when I had the brain flu last year, I I have joined the sanitation team, and now I can eat enough for myself. I have two tanks of water to drink, and I should be able to last until the plumbing is repaired."
Last winter, the tap water pipe was frozen and cracked. It took more than half a month to repair it, but it was bitten by mice again.Fortunately, everyone in the village has the habit of storing water in tanks. People with a lot of people can't last for a few days, but people like Xue Xinyi can last for a long time if they don't wash up and only eat and drink.
And Xue Xinyi's home is a clinic, there are a lot of cleaning things, and there is a shortage of water, so he won't be too embarrassed for a while.
"I'm thinking of digging a pressurized well like before or a well that was lifted up with a bucket. Otherwise, the water will be cut off every day and the electricity will be cut off every day. I can't eat water." Lin Qian sat on the seat reserved in advance .
Many homes have wells with pumps.Because the tap water supply in the village is not enough, the villagers on the edge of the village often have no water to eat.
In addition, sometimes the sky is dry and it is not easy to irrigate the field, so the vegetables in the yard always need to be watered.A few years ago, those who caught tap water to irrigate the land were fined, and more and more people in the village dug their own wells.
Lin Qian was talking to Xue Xinyi, and someone at the same table heard it, and couldn't help but say, "It costs a few thousand to build a pump well, but if we really dig it down and build it with bricks, it's not worth tens of thousands." , you can't just be busy at home, right?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, this expenditure is completely unnecessary, after all, the government cannot allow this situation to continue.If people want to drink water, they have to solve it.
In fact, Lin Qian didn't know much about digging wells, but grandpa should know, no matter how old he was, he had that experience.At this time, Lin Qian didn't understand, and was afraid of making too many mistakes, so he just smiled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, it depends on whether it's useful or not. My house is quite expensive, so it would be nice to have a well."
That man, Lin Qian, looked familiar. Lin Qian just remembered that his surname should be Liu, so he couldn't tell what his seniority was.
He shook his head in disapproval and said, "What's the point? People can't waste water. Didn't your father tell you? People have to drink that water when they're alive. How about washing clothes and cooking?" All have to be done by women? The people left, the man burned the horse and the woman burned the cow. Go to the ground and the man rides a horse on Huangquan Road to the west, and then the cow drinks the dirty water and drinks all the used water for the woman. So it is said Don’t take a shower too often for a man, you have to drink it back when the time comes.”
It was the first time Lin Qian heard this statement, and it was a little funny.Waste of water and cleanliness are two concepts. Perhaps this legend was originally intended to make people cherish water sources.However, in normal daily water, as long as it is not deliberately consumed, it is not considered a waste.Besides, the water used once at home is not discarded. Basically, the water for washing vegetables will be kept for mopping the floor, and then flushed the toilet. This recycling is considered environmentally friendly.
Lin Qian disagreed, but he didn't deny it at the time, turned his head to see He Yangxuan looking at him, and asked him what's wrong?
He Yangxuan looked at Xue Xinyi, and Lin Qian remembered that he forgot to introduce He Yangxuan.
"This is Xue Xinyi. He used to play together when he was a child. He is five years younger than me. He is a graduate student in medical school. He has the highest education in our village. He is amazing." Lin Qian introduced with a smile.
Xue Xinyi smiled and nodded at He Yangxuan.
Lin Qian introduced to Xue Xinyi again: "This is my buddy He Yangxuan. His surname is He Yang, my original boss. You may not believe it, but decades ago, when my grandfather was young, he almost starved to death when he was young and was rescued." , I haven’t seen each other since we parted, and it turned out that the person who saved my grandfather was his grandfather! Do you think this is fate?”
Lin Qian's voice was higher, not only those at the same table, but also the neighbors could hear it.
Xue Xinyi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this to happen. He stood up, shook hands with He Yangxuan, and nodded to him.
"It is indeed fate." The two sat down, Xue Xinyi thought for a while, but didn't say much.
Just as He Yangxuan was about to speak, a middle-aged man at the same table suddenly looked at Lin Qian curiously: "It really happened! That's really fate. Why don't you two get along so well, and you all live here It's winter."
Lin Qian always felt sour and flustered when he heard this, and replied, "If you don't have this kind of relationship, you are still a buddy, so what's the matter if you live for the rest of your life? It's not that there is no place."
"Look at what you said, can't you marry a wife? What if you want to find someone in the future?"
Xue Xinyi spoke first: "It's still early. Besides, the boss doesn't necessarily have no place to live. Living together means being close. Otherwise, it would be easy to just buy a house in the village and build a few floors. Let's The land here is worthless."
What Xue Xinyi said was reasonable and true.
The man choked for a moment, but he didn't care. He continued to lower his head and said to Lin Qian, "Do you have a date?"
Lin Qian shook his head, and the man smiled and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to see other people get married? Are you going to be thirty?"
Sometimes, it seems like a big mistake for you not to get married, or you have unspeakable intractable diseases. Basically, you will ask the older people when they see you.If you are not married, you always have to listen to some preaching or teasing. They are not malicious, but if you listen too much, you will always get impatient.
Before Lin Qian could say anything, He Yangxuan spoke first: "He has high vision, and he is generally looked down upon. When he was at work, he was the diamond king in my company, and several girls were interested in him. They all have an annual salary of more than [-]. If he wants to get married and have children, he will have two of them now."
The subtext is that people have high vision, and ordinary girls look down on them.This is not discriminatory, but it is very useful for people who are blindly urging marriage because of this kind of thing.
After saying this, the man was really honest, but after holding back for a while, he said again: "Isn't that the little girls in the city are not serious? Now those successful people like the little girls in the village, who are clean, honest and hardworking. Wish to have children."
Don't talk about He Yangxuan after hearing this, Lin Qian and Xue Xinyi laughed angrily.The man still felt that they agreed with him, and continued: "Besides, the girl who has a high vision should also have a high vision. It's so convenient for women to marry up. People only look at the bosses of the group. Why don't you take advantage of it?" Now that you have money, you can marry an honest daughter-in-law and have more children. Now that so many people die, the state must also support more births, and maybe you can marry more daughter-in-laws."
In many cases, poverty is not without reason.A narrow vision can be broadened, but those who are proud of this kind of narrow vision are hopeless.
Lin Qian didn't plan to talk to him at all, but He Yangxuan was afraid that he would continue to talk to himself and send the girl to his door to trouble him later, so he said:
"Did you forget that I am his boss? I am in charge of the whole company. Why have the girls in my company been fine for more than ten years, but when you come here, they are not serious? They are nice girls. I earn tens of thousands a month from morning to night and work overtime every day. Can you tell me which one is not clean? Didn’t the girls in the village go out to do illegal business? Besides, half of the girls in my company are from the village. Parents paid for it, why is it not clean when they enter the city?"
He Yangxuan didn't know them, let alone from the village, so he was naturally rude.Saying such words almost completely negates what the man said.
One can imagine that person's face, but He Yangxuan's words are reasonable, if he continues to argue, he can't find any good words to refute.
In fact, the more people like to belittle one thing to set off another, the more inferior they feel.I just feel that I can't compare, so I will take advantage of one side, and then run the other side to the death, as if the other side is not as good as this side, it is just unreasonable.
I just feel that the girls in the village who don’t study are not as good as the girls who work in the city, so I made up a set of rhetoric that I believe in. All successful people like to be obedient, filial, do housework, and are willing to keep having boys in order to have boys. The little girls in the city are all delicate, so they are not lovable.After such a long time, I really feel that the whole world is like this.
This set of rhetoric is widely circulated regardless of gender, age or location.Needless to say in rural areas, this statement is still prevalent in some fringe cities.
Rural girls "look down" on urban girls, and third- and fourth-tier cities "look down" on first- and second-tier girls.If there is a reason, it is probably because the grapes are not edible, so the grapes are sour.
The statement that "Women who take a doctor's degree are all monsters and cannot be married" also comes from this.
Lin Qian touched He Yangxuan with his arm: "It's alright, you're serious about making a joke." Lin Qian smoothed things over by himself, and the topic was over.
Then the bowls were brought up, and someone took beer and poured a little bit of beer one by one.At this time, beer is considered a rare thing, that is, the wedding banquet is willing to buy more and take it out to entertain people.
Some people can't wait to open a bottle and drink it first. God knows what kind of life the wine bugs have lived without wine in the past six months.
Lin Qian asked He Yangxuan if he drank, He Yangxuan shook his head.He didn't drink well, Lin Qian knew it well, poured himself a bowl, and didn't rush to drink it, so he just put it there.
Dishes were presented one after another. In fact, the materials available at this time were limited, and meat was especially precious.We got married today, and the man's family only bought a pig.In the past, when we got married, even though we killed a pig, we still bought some pork knuckles and pig ears, and we could put one on every table.Nowadays, basically all the meat on the table comes from this pig, and the pork head meat is only enjoyed by those who come from their natal families.
As soon as the dishes were served, some people couldn't resist eating with their chopsticks.Not to mention meat, fresh vegetables are also rare items at this time, and some people who love to take advantage of small things, at this time even more shake off their cheeks, for fear that they will suffer a loss if they eat less.
To be honest, based on the current value of meat and vegetables, a table full of people may not be worth as much as the dishes on the table.
Lin Qian took two sips, but he didn't have any appetite. Next to him, He Yangxuan picked up Lin Qian's wine bowl and drank a couple of sips without moving his chopsticks.
Lin Qian looked so delicate when he sat up and didn't eat, so he put two balls into He Yangxuan's bowl: "Try it, it's made by the master in the village. I heard it's made with rice porridge, it's delicious of."
It was a pity that He Yangxuan didn't put it directly into his mouth, so he picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite, the taste was really good.Moreover, the cost of this thing is not high, and it can be made at home.
"Let's learn?" He Yangxuan said with a smile.
"My grandfather can do it, but it's too troublesome. If we want to learn from him, he can also teach." Lin Qian turned to look at Xue Xinyi, and saw Xue Xinyi was also looking at him.
Smiling at him, Lin Qian continued to eat his own meal, without taking two bites after a meal.
The other people at the table are quite combative, and the end of their usual chats is spent on eating.
This is also a long time since I saw oil and water.Lin Qian used to build a house and held banquets before. The people who ate, especially the men, there were always a few tables in the group chatting until everyone else was gone, bragging while eating, and some even went from the first After the last batch was eaten, the wine bottles piled up in a pile, and they wobbled and helped each other out.
Now all the strength to speak is spent on eating.
Lin Qian came late, the wedding was over, and there was nothing exciting to watch, so he got up and left after eating.
Before walking out of the restaurant with He Yangxuan, his sleeve was pulled, and when he turned around, it was his neighbor Uncle Liu.
"Are you full?" Uncle Liu asked cheerfully.
Recently, the daughter-in-law's belly started to show signs of pregnancy, the family has hope again, and Uncle Liu looks more cheerful.
"I'm full." Lin Qian replied with a smile.
Everywhere there are good people and bad people, likeable and unlikable.Uncle Liu was one of the few people in the village that Lin Qian could get along with. The main reason was that Uncle Liu was too honest and suited Lin Qian's temper.
"How long does it take for the banquet to start, why don't you wait for me to go back together?"
"No, my grandfather is still waiting at home." Lin Qian also knew that he was being polite.
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "You are really filial. There are not many children who are as filial as you before, but your grandfather taught them well."
Lin Qian nodded with a smile, turned his head and took He Yangxuan away with him.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Qian raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the hilltop built by himself. The green on it was sporadic, and it looked a little lifeless.For such a large mountain, after being watered by seawater, the surface of the land contains extremely high salinity, and the cost of spending money on improving agents is too high, so it can only be left to fend for itself.At this moment, there are signs of "bankruptcy".
Lin Qian laughed at himself, looking around the whole country, waiting and hoping that he would go bankrupt, and he and his family would be the only ones.
"What are you thinking?" He Yangxuan asked.
"Almost bankrupt." Lin Qian whispered.
"What's the rush?"
The two went home side by side, chatting with each other.
There are still plays that should be done.Lin Qian had to go to the mountains every other day, and when he returned to the village, he deliberately made a look of being angry and uncomfortable when there were people around. After such a long time, rumors spread in the village that Lin Qian spent money on the mountain and ended up paying for it. the news.
Someone came to inquire and got accurate information, and felt sorry for it. They said a lot of comforting words, and turned their heads to mention a few words when they met people. For a while, the "legend" in the village suddenly became a gossip. joke.
Most people just watch the fun, but there are also those who can't wait to set off two couplets of firecrackers to celebrate, such as Lin Fengying.
Since last year, Lin Fengying hated Lin Qian so much that her teeth itch. Now it's finally unlucky. In her eyes, even God can't look down on his family's heartlessness and punish him.
She didn't dare to come directly to mock him, it was embarrassing on the one hand, but on the other hand she was also afraid of He Yangxuan, in her eyes this kind of young master from a rich family would not take life as his own.
Although I dare not come to the door to mock in person, it does not mean that I will not pass by.Every time she went out, she always grabbed someone to accompany her while talking, and then deliberately passed by the door of Lin Qian's house, loudly saying that Lin Qian's family's bad luck was due to their family's retribution.
Every time it made the people who walked with her feel extremely embarrassed, and they would avoid her when they saw her for a long time.Although others sometimes talk about it, it's just to pass the time. How can there be such a master who is rushing to pay for the work?
Lin Qian and He Yangxuan were busy going bankrupt, while some people in Beijing were too busy trying to turn around.
Gao Huizhen mother and son.
Back then when He Yangxuan patted his butt and left, they convened a general meeting of shareholders and successfully promoted Shen Nancheng as the acting chairman with the advantage of shares.As a result, the house was confiscated before the ass was warmed up.
At this moment, Shen Nancheng has just come to power and needs to build a good reputation, especially when his father's reputation is notorious, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only move out of the house.Because he didn't have much money in hand, he could only rent a stingy house, but he encountered the plague again.
A plague killed nearly half of the company, and a large number of shareholders died of the plague.And the right to inherit the shares has become a big problem, and the entire company's top management is in a mess, not to mention the various industries under it.
Now after a cold winter, the financial sector is expanding rapidly. Even with the government's strong support, some companies that were not at peace in the first place still cannot persist, such as the company currently owned by Shen Nancheng.
The rapid collapse of the company's finances and the lack of support from a large amount of liquidity soon forced Gao Huizhen's mother and son to withdraw, quickly transferred the shares in their hands, and hid far away.
It's a pity that it was too late to make a move. Living in inflationary Beijing with only a little money was difficult, so I had no choice but to go to my natal family.But at this time, her natal family is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. She was often looked down upon in her natal family's life, and even her money was cheated by her natal family with various excuses, and she completely became a poor person under the fence.
Now her natal family is also on the verge of bankruptcy, but they are not reconciled. They are trying various ways to borrow money to raise money in a last-ditch attempt, betting that the economy will recover and become the top group in the country.
The so-called heroes come out of troubled times. There are many successful cases in this situation.But people often only see those who are successful, but forget those struggling people who have fallen in the economic tide.
Gao Huizhen could bear all the cold eyes in the winter, but Shen Nancheng couldn't bear it. Looking at her son who was getting thinner and thinner, Gao Huizhen's heart ached.In the end, after thinking about it, she still felt that she couldn't do without her natal family. If she wanted to gain a foothold in her natal family, she had to prove her usefulness first.
Gao Huizhen began to travel among major banks and lenders, lobbying for loans and investments with her three-inch tongue.Of course it didn't work much at first, but when she was disappointed, she tried to move He Yangxuan out.Half a year ago, He Yangxuan donated 6000 million yuan for earthquake relief, so it goes without saying about his credibility.
Contrary to Gao Huizhen's expectation, what was thought to be hopeless, after mentioning He Yangxuan, turned into a turning point.
Xu is a large amount of donations before, which has gained a high advantage in public opinion, and now it is really necessary to launch some pioneer companies to turn around the business.With the special approval of special national conditions, Gao Huizhen's family's company actually received a large amount of loans and a small amount of investment because of Gao Huizhen's words.
In this way, we really have the funds to turn around, just waiting for the operation to continue.
All of a sudden, Gao Huizhen, the "rice bug" in the original family, became a hero, and her son's status also rose.Gao Huizhen arranged her son into her mother's company while the iron was hot, hoping to use this to enter the company and climb to the top in one go.
In this way, Gao Huizhen is living quite comfortably at the moment.
It's just that she didn't get involved in the company herself, and she doesn't know the situation of the company at home. She just feels that since the funds are in place, success is only a matter of time.
Lin Qian received another call from his mother.Since we made contact before, Lin Qian's mother called at least once a week. Lin Qian lacked interest in it, and couldn't say a few words every time he called, but his mother was still very persistent.
"Qianqian, I heard that you recently... the situation on the mountain is not very good." It's hard for my mother to talk about losing money, so I can only put it mildly.
"This year's weather is bad, and many trees died. However, some survived and adapted to living in saline-alkali land."
Animals are highly adaptable to the environment and will change as the environment changes.The same is true for plants. The sea rain caused countless deaths and injuries on the mountain, but there are also strong ones who have adapted to the extreme environment for plants.
Lin Qian was quite optimistic about this. If a few fruit trees survived, there would be fruits to eat in the future.
What Lin Qian said was the truth, but to his own mother's ears, this was pretending to be strong.
My mother was silent for a while, and then said: "You gave me 30 at the beginning, and now there are 20 left. I will leave [-] here for your brother to marry a wife in the future, and the rest will be used for emergencies. It is not easy for you to start a business now." , there must be many places to spend money."
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and directly refused: "It's okay, it's not that difficult. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Qian would not tell her that his "bankruptcy" was intentional, so naturally he would not accept the money she sent back.
Another month passed, and the villagers soon stopped talking about Lin Qian's family, because they were already in trouble.
Another month of drought, the temperature has risen steadily, and has reached more than 40 degrees.
There have been similar extreme heats in previous years, but they are often the days of great heat, and the hottest days in the past will then become cooler day by day.
But right now the sky is cloudless, and the sun feels like it is getting bigger day by day.
Lin Qian had already stopped going up the mountain, so don't be too comfortable at home with the air conditioner blowing on and eating popsicles every day.
At the beginning, Grandpa felt sorry for the need to save electricity, but every time he saw the leisurely appearance of the two grandsons, he gradually became degraded.
The current sun, other people gritted their teeth with hatred, but Lin Qian loved it so much.Because there is enough sun, the solar energy can be used to the extreme. Now the battery is full almost all the time. After it is used up, it can be fully charged again in a day or two.The inside of the greenhouse is illuminated by strong sunlight during the day, and solar energy collects sunlight at the same time. At night, the fill light continues to shine. The growth speed of the plants is 1.5 times faster than that of ordinary planting. Don't be too happy.
The newly planted vegetables have already started to be eaten on the home side, and the village has also begun to irrigate the land.
The rat problem is still serious, but fortunately it is not as bad as it was a month ago.The country specially approved Xue Xinyi as a doctor in a temporary clinic to temporarily take over his father's work and provide medical services in the village.The relevant medical policies issued by many countries are placed on him, and now even rat poison is distributed through Xue Xinyi.
It is said that this is the latest drug developed by scientists, and it is highly infectious to small mammals.In limited experiments, human immunity was able to resist successfully, but it was fatal in mice.On the contrary, it will also have an impact on cats and dogs, so it is recommended that those who have mammals at home do not go out, at least wait for a month or two before the dust settles.
In fact, the following statement is basically useless. Before the end of the world, there were fewer and fewer pets in rural areas. From last year to this year, there were many disasters. There were very few livestock and poultry, let alone pets.
Lin Qian's family still wants to raise two dogs, but so far they haven't found anyone to adopt or give away their puppies.
At the same time, the state's support plan for rural enterprises has also been implemented here.
The situation of college students like Lin Qian going back to the village to make mountain buns was too in line with the conditions of the state's support, and he even deliberately focused on training and increased capital investment.
Lin Qian didn't dare to ask for more. After discussing with the village chief several times, he only decided to apply for an investment of 200 million yuan and sign any agricultural and sideline product transactions. State-owned enterprises will choose transactions first.
After another few days of busy work, Lin Qian took the delegation up to the mountain for several field trips. His whole body was tanned like a ball of black mud. It was still He Yangxuan who couldn't see it first, so he put on sunscreen for him every day.
Since getting the approval of their grandfather, the relationship between the two has become closer, and they have become more daring when getting along.Almost except for the last step, the two have done almost everything shamelessly.
As the skin became more intimate, He Yangxuan became more and more courageous.From the obedience in every possible way at the beginning of the pursuit, he is about to turn over and become the master later.
For example, you can't go to bed without taking a shower, or you can't sit on the bed while wearing pants, and you even have to monitor the time when you brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush.
Obviously, everything that could be accommodated was accommodated when I first moved in.
Lin Qian protested again and again, but He Yangxuan's eloquence was so good that Lin Qian held back everything he said.
"It's summer now, and it's incomparable with winter. Let you take a bath before going to bed every day. First, it will wash off the sweat in time. Second, it will reduce the frequency of changing sheets, and it is very effective in preventing skin diseases. As for brushing your teeth, let alone bacteria eat It’s easy to get sick when you go in, so if you have a problem with your teeth, where do you go to see a dentist? Now that your condition is relatively better, and you can still go to the dentist, what should you do if the famine is severe in the future? This is called planning for a rainy day, so listen honestly.”
In this way, Lin Qian no longer had the position to refute He Yangxuan's words.
Not only Lin Qian, but even grandpa's side fell.The old man who was already quite sloppy, but he kept himself clean like this, actually looked comfortable to him, and He Yangxuan forcibly made a good habit out of his supervision.
The daughter-in-law of Uncle Liu’s neighbor’s stomach is getting bigger and bigger. Grandpa has nothing to do when he visits his house. He will always hold something in his hand, a handful of vegetables or a few eggs. Fortunately, Uncle Liu's house is in good condition, and the pregnant woman looks pretty good.
At noon, the horn rang in the village, which probably meant that people with daughters and children should pay attention. Recently, people who trafficked women and children appeared in this area, or it was not kidnapping, but blatant robbery.A van drove into the village. On the road, I saw a car stop and pull people into the car and go straight away.
The seriousness of the matter can be seen by the fact that the village trumpets can be used to shout.
Lin Qian's family had no children and no married girls, so naturally he didn't care.Grandpa stood in front of the window for a long while after listening. Lin Qian walked up to him. Grandpa felt him coming, but he didn't look back. He just sighed softly.
"Rampant human trafficking is a harbinger of troubled times." Grandpa said.
"There is a sale because there is a market and people buy it. Last year, a plague caused many people to lose their children, and many people did everything they could to have a child or a woman who could give birth. In addition, the situation was chaotic. There's no way to avoid that."
The videos on the protection of wild animals on TV often say: "There is no harm if there is no trade." This kind of thing is also reasonable when it comes to human trade.It's just that the previous crackdown was relatively strong, and there are rarely such rampant situations.Now that the country has returned to its starting point and is struggling to stand up, it is obviously powerless to deal with this kind of thing.
"You understand." Grandpa turned around and went back to the sofa to sit down. "Actually, in our village, two or three out of ten daughters-in-law were bought here. It is said that they were hired from matchmakers, but in fact no one bought them." I know where the girls in the matchmaker's hands come from, such as your aunt. Everyone knows it in their hearts, but in order to marry a daughter-in-law, no one cares about this kind of thing. Later, the law was perfected and free love was advocated. It’s slowly becoming what it is now.”
Although there are still cases where parents arrange marriages, there are no such sellers with clearly marked prices.
"No one ran?" Hearing what his grandfather said, Lin Qian felt disgusted in his heart.
"Run? Do you think it's the current society? Now girls have been educated and know what is right and wrong. In the past, the girls were taught by their parents and what they were. The in-law’s family must obey, otherwise they will be beaten to death by the in-law’s family, and there is no place to sue. Back then, your grandma was almost abducted by the first old bachelor in the village to become a daughter-in-law. At that time, what if the girl was really snatched away? , it belongs to others. Otherwise, the reputation will be gone, and you don’t want to marry someone else, it’s such a cannibalistic society.” When Grandpa said this, he shook his head, still not fond of recalling the past.
"Then why did you marry my grandma?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.
"Your grandma looked good back then." Thinking of his long-dead wife, grandpa's eyes softened a little. "She was stupid when she was young. She believed whatever I said. When I said I wanted to marry her, she didn't care about her parents." She objected to packing her own luggage, so she moved here and lived with me, my family was so poor, she stayed here and never left, this stay is a lifetime."
At that time, I walked through the darkness, and the love left behind was also the most sincere.
"Never passed the bride price? Then why don't you say that you abducted my grandma?"
"Damn it! It's your grandma who got me behind." Grandpa turned his head away from Lin Qian, picked up the remote control and continued watching his video.
Robbing women and children has never happened to me, and it will always be a temporary topic of conversation. No one will take it seriously, especially if there is no one in the family who may be a victim.
It's just that Lin Qian didn't expect that something would happen that evening.
In the evening, grandpa was cooking, and He Yangxuan was there to help.Lin Qian was cleaning the living room when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, so he went out to check, it was Uncle Liu's daughter-in-law.Lin Qian also called her Aunt Liu, but she was not alone with the provocative long tongue.
"Qianqian! Something happened to your sister-in-law! Auntie, please do me a favor and send your sister-in-law to the county hospital! It's bleeding!"
It's just that the exposed yard and the crops in the field suffered. Lin Qian had no hope for the things planted outside, but the people in the village got angry.
Every day, people go to the fields with hoes, and when they come back, they are more or less bloody.I went with the intention of replanting, but seeing the rats swarming around, I couldn't help but picked up the hoe and saw one by one.
The agricultural supply store in the village that had just resumed business was sold out of rat poison as soon as it opened. Now that it is inconvenient to buy goods, the rats are even more rampant.
Lin Qian's family also planted a circle of medicine around the yard, but there were more and more mice. That little medicine got ten or eight mice, but it couldn't kill a thousand or eight hundred.
Every household in the village was on fire, but Lin Qian's family lived comfortably.
He Yangxuan changed ways to bring good things to grandpa every day. Sometimes grandpa was amused by it, and would call the two grandsons together to teach some things, such as how to behave in the world, plowing the land and farming, and other trivial things, all in the countryside Live to learn.
Grandpa would walk around the village more when he was free, joined the team of seniors at the entrance of the village, played poker and chatted when he was free, and heard a lot about things in the village.When I came back, I talked with my two grandsons, and I became more and more enthusiastic about the fun, which made the two grandsons tireless.
The original intention of going out to listen to gossip is to know more about the things in the village, so as to save people from poking taboos when talking to people in the future.Especially after experiencing the plague last year, so many people died in the village, it is always necessary to find out who is gone, and save yourself from talking about the deceased. Isn't this poking someone's wound?
But now things are clearly not quite right.
Lin Qian and He Yangxuan are still discussing to see how far Grandpa's side is. If they are really spreading rumors like those people, then they must quickly find a way to stop it.
In the end, the two of them hadn't discussed anything yet, but Grandpa brought a message.
There is a happy event in the village, and someone gets a wife.There was courtesy in the family's gift book, and Grandpa meant to let the two of them go together, so that He Yangxuan could get acquainted with the villagers more.
As for He Yangxuan's identity, he had changed from Lin Qian's boss to the grandson of his grandfather's savior.This is a fact, and it is also dramatic. If you say it, you will say that it is a miracle arranged by fate, and the acceptance of He Yangxuan is even higher.
The married family's surname is Gao.In fact, the wedding was originally planned to be held in the late autumn of last year, but it was hit by the plague, and the wedding has been delayed.Up to now, the weather has been fine. Although the rats are troublesome, there is no delay in things like getting married.
Now the rural conditions are getting better every year, and the marriage is getting more extravagant every year.In recent years, it is quite normal for a married couple to spend [-] or [-] luxury cars to welcome their relatives.But right now, even if they have money, they don't have the conditions to be extravagant.Even if the woman wants a perfect condition, based on the current situation, there is nothing to do in three to five years.
In rural areas, people in their early 20s are usually busy with marriages, and those over 24, especially girls, feel worthless.
So even if the girl is unwilling, the woman's family has to start worrying.This kind of thinking is deeply rooted in a considerable part of the region, and unless they stay away, few people can escape from the shackles of this deformity.But in the current situation, it is easy to leave the familiar environment, how to survive?
Of course, everything cannot be considered completely pessimistically.It is also a happy beginning for two people to form a new family.
Lin Qian was really unfamiliar with the village. When he walked out, he could only find the canteen except for the houses he had visited when he was a child.
Fortunately, he didn't have to go to the newlywed's house to join in the fun, he just went to the restaurant to have a meal with the members, and he had to deal with the people sitting at the same table.
After finding a seat in the restaurant, Lin Qian asked He Yangxuan to sit down and went over to write a ceremony.
Such a thing as a follower is a long-term debt, but it is indispensable everywhere.If you are really determined, no one will follow the gangsters, then you will be completely divorced from the masses.
At this time, the restaurant was already full of people's voices, and the ears were buzzing, and it was difficult to hear a complete sentence.
With great difficulty, Lin Qian queued up to the front of the table where the gift account was kept, and handed over the 200 yuan.
"Lin Qian."
They were the only ones in the village whose surname was Lin. The person who wrote the ceremony book looked up, saw someone else, and wrote his name on it.
Seeing that the name and the amount of money were written, Lin Qian turned his head and left, but someone patted him.Lin Qian looked back, acquaintance.
"Your family is also polite?" Lin Qian smiled.
It was none other than Xue Xinyi who had just returned to the village a few days ago.
At this time, Xue Xinyi had tidied up, his face was washed, his beard was shaved, and he was wearing a white shirt, looking handsome in the sun.
He was already tall, so he looked like one of the best in the village.
"It's not a gift, it's the famine owed. You have to pay it back. Wait for me, I'll write the gift first." Xue Xinyi took two steps forward and wrote his name first.
After returning to the village, my mother died early, and my father died because of the plague.At present, the school has not yet recovered, and Xue Xinyi can only stay in the village.
Lin Qian waited for him, and went back to the restaurant together, to where He Yangxuan was sitting.At this time, there were three more people sitting on the table, all middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s. Lin Qian just looked familiar and couldn't say anything.
"Is it okay for you to eat and drink now? I still have some food and mineral water at home. You can use them later." Lin Qian asked.
Lin Qian has also been very busy recently. Sometimes he thinks of him, but he is quickly forgotten.The relationship between each other is just that of playmates in childhood. It is already very good to mention it and care about it.
Xue Xinyi said: "I have no problem. I was not at home before, and two families were arranged to live in my house during the flood. Now that I am back, the government has also given me subsidies. In addition, when I had the brain flu last year, I I have joined the sanitation team, and now I can eat enough for myself. I have two tanks of water to drink, and I should be able to last until the plumbing is repaired."
Last winter, the tap water pipe was frozen and cracked. It took more than half a month to repair it, but it was bitten by mice again.Fortunately, everyone in the village has the habit of storing water in tanks. People with a lot of people can't last for a few days, but people like Xue Xinyi can last for a long time if they don't wash up and only eat and drink.
And Xue Xinyi's home is a clinic, there are a lot of cleaning things, and there is a shortage of water, so he won't be too embarrassed for a while.
"I'm thinking of digging a pressurized well like before or a well that was lifted up with a bucket. Otherwise, the water will be cut off every day and the electricity will be cut off every day. I can't eat water." Lin Qian sat on the seat reserved in advance .
Many homes have wells with pumps.Because the tap water supply in the village is not enough, the villagers on the edge of the village often have no water to eat.
In addition, sometimes the sky is dry and it is not easy to irrigate the field, so the vegetables in the yard always need to be watered.A few years ago, those who caught tap water to irrigate the land were fined, and more and more people in the village dug their own wells.
Lin Qian was talking to Xue Xinyi, and someone at the same table heard it, and couldn't help but say, "It costs a few thousand to build a pump well, but if we really dig it down and build it with bricks, it's not worth tens of thousands." , you can't just be busy at home, right?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, this expenditure is completely unnecessary, after all, the government cannot allow this situation to continue.If people want to drink water, they have to solve it.
In fact, Lin Qian didn't know much about digging wells, but grandpa should know, no matter how old he was, he had that experience.At this time, Lin Qian didn't understand, and was afraid of making too many mistakes, so he just smiled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, it depends on whether it's useful or not. My house is quite expensive, so it would be nice to have a well."
That man, Lin Qian, looked familiar. Lin Qian just remembered that his surname should be Liu, so he couldn't tell what his seniority was.
He shook his head in disapproval and said, "What's the point? People can't waste water. Didn't your father tell you? People have to drink that water when they're alive. How about washing clothes and cooking?" All have to be done by women? The people left, the man burned the horse and the woman burned the cow. Go to the ground and the man rides a horse on Huangquan Road to the west, and then the cow drinks the dirty water and drinks all the used water for the woman. So it is said Don’t take a shower too often for a man, you have to drink it back when the time comes.”
It was the first time Lin Qian heard this statement, and it was a little funny.Waste of water and cleanliness are two concepts. Perhaps this legend was originally intended to make people cherish water sources.However, in normal daily water, as long as it is not deliberately consumed, it is not considered a waste.Besides, the water used once at home is not discarded. Basically, the water for washing vegetables will be kept for mopping the floor, and then flushed the toilet. This recycling is considered environmentally friendly.
Lin Qian disagreed, but he didn't deny it at the time, turned his head to see He Yangxuan looking at him, and asked him what's wrong?
He Yangxuan looked at Xue Xinyi, and Lin Qian remembered that he forgot to introduce He Yangxuan.
"This is Xue Xinyi. He used to play together when he was a child. He is five years younger than me. He is a graduate student in medical school. He has the highest education in our village. He is amazing." Lin Qian introduced with a smile.
Xue Xinyi smiled and nodded at He Yangxuan.
Lin Qian introduced to Xue Xinyi again: "This is my buddy He Yangxuan. His surname is He Yang, my original boss. You may not believe it, but decades ago, when my grandfather was young, he almost starved to death when he was young and was rescued." , I haven’t seen each other since we parted, and it turned out that the person who saved my grandfather was his grandfather! Do you think this is fate?”
Lin Qian's voice was higher, not only those at the same table, but also the neighbors could hear it.
Xue Xinyi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this to happen. He stood up, shook hands with He Yangxuan, and nodded to him.
"It is indeed fate." The two sat down, Xue Xinyi thought for a while, but didn't say much.
Just as He Yangxuan was about to speak, a middle-aged man at the same table suddenly looked at Lin Qian curiously: "It really happened! That's really fate. Why don't you two get along so well, and you all live here It's winter."
Lin Qian always felt sour and flustered when he heard this, and replied, "If you don't have this kind of relationship, you are still a buddy, so what's the matter if you live for the rest of your life? It's not that there is no place."
"Look at what you said, can't you marry a wife? What if you want to find someone in the future?"
Xue Xinyi spoke first: "It's still early. Besides, the boss doesn't necessarily have no place to live. Living together means being close. Otherwise, it would be easy to just buy a house in the village and build a few floors. Let's The land here is worthless."
What Xue Xinyi said was reasonable and true.
The man choked for a moment, but he didn't care. He continued to lower his head and said to Lin Qian, "Do you have a date?"
Lin Qian shook his head, and the man smiled and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to see other people get married? Are you going to be thirty?"
Sometimes, it seems like a big mistake for you not to get married, or you have unspeakable intractable diseases. Basically, you will ask the older people when they see you.If you are not married, you always have to listen to some preaching or teasing. They are not malicious, but if you listen too much, you will always get impatient.
Before Lin Qian could say anything, He Yangxuan spoke first: "He has high vision, and he is generally looked down upon. When he was at work, he was the diamond king in my company, and several girls were interested in him. They all have an annual salary of more than [-]. If he wants to get married and have children, he will have two of them now."
The subtext is that people have high vision, and ordinary girls look down on them.This is not discriminatory, but it is very useful for people who are blindly urging marriage because of this kind of thing.
After saying this, the man was really honest, but after holding back for a while, he said again: "Isn't that the little girls in the city are not serious? Now those successful people like the little girls in the village, who are clean, honest and hardworking. Wish to have children."
Don't talk about He Yangxuan after hearing this, Lin Qian and Xue Xinyi laughed angrily.The man still felt that they agreed with him, and continued: "Besides, the girl who has a high vision should also have a high vision. It's so convenient for women to marry up. People only look at the bosses of the group. Why don't you take advantage of it?" Now that you have money, you can marry an honest daughter-in-law and have more children. Now that so many people die, the state must also support more births, and maybe you can marry more daughter-in-laws."
In many cases, poverty is not without reason.A narrow vision can be broadened, but those who are proud of this kind of narrow vision are hopeless.
Lin Qian didn't plan to talk to him at all, but He Yangxuan was afraid that he would continue to talk to himself and send the girl to his door to trouble him later, so he said:
"Did you forget that I am his boss? I am in charge of the whole company. Why have the girls in my company been fine for more than ten years, but when you come here, they are not serious? They are nice girls. I earn tens of thousands a month from morning to night and work overtime every day. Can you tell me which one is not clean? Didn’t the girls in the village go out to do illegal business? Besides, half of the girls in my company are from the village. Parents paid for it, why is it not clean when they enter the city?"
He Yangxuan didn't know them, let alone from the village, so he was naturally rude.Saying such words almost completely negates what the man said.
One can imagine that person's face, but He Yangxuan's words are reasonable, if he continues to argue, he can't find any good words to refute.
In fact, the more people like to belittle one thing to set off another, the more inferior they feel.I just feel that I can't compare, so I will take advantage of one side, and then run the other side to the death, as if the other side is not as good as this side, it is just unreasonable.
I just feel that the girls in the village who don’t study are not as good as the girls who work in the city, so I made up a set of rhetoric that I believe in. All successful people like to be obedient, filial, do housework, and are willing to keep having boys in order to have boys. The little girls in the city are all delicate, so they are not lovable.After such a long time, I really feel that the whole world is like this.
This set of rhetoric is widely circulated regardless of gender, age or location.Needless to say in rural areas, this statement is still prevalent in some fringe cities.
Rural girls "look down" on urban girls, and third- and fourth-tier cities "look down" on first- and second-tier girls.If there is a reason, it is probably because the grapes are not edible, so the grapes are sour.
The statement that "Women who take a doctor's degree are all monsters and cannot be married" also comes from this.
Lin Qian touched He Yangxuan with his arm: "It's alright, you're serious about making a joke." Lin Qian smoothed things over by himself, and the topic was over.
Then the bowls were brought up, and someone took beer and poured a little bit of beer one by one.At this time, beer is considered a rare thing, that is, the wedding banquet is willing to buy more and take it out to entertain people.
Some people can't wait to open a bottle and drink it first. God knows what kind of life the wine bugs have lived without wine in the past six months.
Lin Qian asked He Yangxuan if he drank, He Yangxuan shook his head.He didn't drink well, Lin Qian knew it well, poured himself a bowl, and didn't rush to drink it, so he just put it there.
Dishes were presented one after another. In fact, the materials available at this time were limited, and meat was especially precious.We got married today, and the man's family only bought a pig.In the past, when we got married, even though we killed a pig, we still bought some pork knuckles and pig ears, and we could put one on every table.Nowadays, basically all the meat on the table comes from this pig, and the pork head meat is only enjoyed by those who come from their natal families.
As soon as the dishes were served, some people couldn't resist eating with their chopsticks.Not to mention meat, fresh vegetables are also rare items at this time, and some people who love to take advantage of small things, at this time even more shake off their cheeks, for fear that they will suffer a loss if they eat less.
To be honest, based on the current value of meat and vegetables, a table full of people may not be worth as much as the dishes on the table.
Lin Qian took two sips, but he didn't have any appetite. Next to him, He Yangxuan picked up Lin Qian's wine bowl and drank a couple of sips without moving his chopsticks.
Lin Qian looked so delicate when he sat up and didn't eat, so he put two balls into He Yangxuan's bowl: "Try it, it's made by the master in the village. I heard it's made with rice porridge, it's delicious of."
It was a pity that He Yangxuan didn't put it directly into his mouth, so he picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite, the taste was really good.Moreover, the cost of this thing is not high, and it can be made at home.
"Let's learn?" He Yangxuan said with a smile.
"My grandfather can do it, but it's too troublesome. If we want to learn from him, he can also teach." Lin Qian turned to look at Xue Xinyi, and saw Xue Xinyi was also looking at him.
Smiling at him, Lin Qian continued to eat his own meal, without taking two bites after a meal.
The other people at the table are quite combative, and the end of their usual chats is spent on eating.
This is also a long time since I saw oil and water.Lin Qian used to build a house and held banquets before. The people who ate, especially the men, there were always a few tables in the group chatting until everyone else was gone, bragging while eating, and some even went from the first After the last batch was eaten, the wine bottles piled up in a pile, and they wobbled and helped each other out.
Now all the strength to speak is spent on eating.
Lin Qian came late, the wedding was over, and there was nothing exciting to watch, so he got up and left after eating.
Before walking out of the restaurant with He Yangxuan, his sleeve was pulled, and when he turned around, it was his neighbor Uncle Liu.
"Are you full?" Uncle Liu asked cheerfully.
Recently, the daughter-in-law's belly started to show signs of pregnancy, the family has hope again, and Uncle Liu looks more cheerful.
"I'm full." Lin Qian replied with a smile.
Everywhere there are good people and bad people, likeable and unlikable.Uncle Liu was one of the few people in the village that Lin Qian could get along with. The main reason was that Uncle Liu was too honest and suited Lin Qian's temper.
"How long does it take for the banquet to start, why don't you wait for me to go back together?"
"No, my grandfather is still waiting at home." Lin Qian also knew that he was being polite.
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "You are really filial. There are not many children who are as filial as you before, but your grandfather taught them well."
Lin Qian nodded with a smile, turned his head and took He Yangxuan away with him.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Qian raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the hilltop built by himself. The green on it was sporadic, and it looked a little lifeless.For such a large mountain, after being watered by seawater, the surface of the land contains extremely high salinity, and the cost of spending money on improving agents is too high, so it can only be left to fend for itself.At this moment, there are signs of "bankruptcy".
Lin Qian laughed at himself, looking around the whole country, waiting and hoping that he would go bankrupt, and he and his family would be the only ones.
"What are you thinking?" He Yangxuan asked.
"Almost bankrupt." Lin Qian whispered.
"What's the rush?"
The two went home side by side, chatting with each other.
There are still plays that should be done.Lin Qian had to go to the mountains every other day, and when he returned to the village, he deliberately made a look of being angry and uncomfortable when there were people around. After such a long time, rumors spread in the village that Lin Qian spent money on the mountain and ended up paying for it. the news.
Someone came to inquire and got accurate information, and felt sorry for it. They said a lot of comforting words, and turned their heads to mention a few words when they met people. For a while, the "legend" in the village suddenly became a gossip. joke.
Most people just watch the fun, but there are also those who can't wait to set off two couplets of firecrackers to celebrate, such as Lin Fengying.
Since last year, Lin Fengying hated Lin Qian so much that her teeth itch. Now it's finally unlucky. In her eyes, even God can't look down on his family's heartlessness and punish him.
She didn't dare to come directly to mock him, it was embarrassing on the one hand, but on the other hand she was also afraid of He Yangxuan, in her eyes this kind of young master from a rich family would not take life as his own.
Although I dare not come to the door to mock in person, it does not mean that I will not pass by.Every time she went out, she always grabbed someone to accompany her while talking, and then deliberately passed by the door of Lin Qian's house, loudly saying that Lin Qian's family's bad luck was due to their family's retribution.
Every time it made the people who walked with her feel extremely embarrassed, and they would avoid her when they saw her for a long time.Although others sometimes talk about it, it's just to pass the time. How can there be such a master who is rushing to pay for the work?
Lin Qian and He Yangxuan were busy going bankrupt, while some people in Beijing were too busy trying to turn around.
Gao Huizhen mother and son.
Back then when He Yangxuan patted his butt and left, they convened a general meeting of shareholders and successfully promoted Shen Nancheng as the acting chairman with the advantage of shares.As a result, the house was confiscated before the ass was warmed up.
At this moment, Shen Nancheng has just come to power and needs to build a good reputation, especially when his father's reputation is notorious, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only move out of the house.Because he didn't have much money in hand, he could only rent a stingy house, but he encountered the plague again.
A plague killed nearly half of the company, and a large number of shareholders died of the plague.And the right to inherit the shares has become a big problem, and the entire company's top management is in a mess, not to mention the various industries under it.
Now after a cold winter, the financial sector is expanding rapidly. Even with the government's strong support, some companies that were not at peace in the first place still cannot persist, such as the company currently owned by Shen Nancheng.
The rapid collapse of the company's finances and the lack of support from a large amount of liquidity soon forced Gao Huizhen's mother and son to withdraw, quickly transferred the shares in their hands, and hid far away.
It's a pity that it was too late to make a move. Living in inflationary Beijing with only a little money was difficult, so I had no choice but to go to my natal family.But at this time, her natal family is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. She was often looked down upon in her natal family's life, and even her money was cheated by her natal family with various excuses, and she completely became a poor person under the fence.
Now her natal family is also on the verge of bankruptcy, but they are not reconciled. They are trying various ways to borrow money to raise money in a last-ditch attempt, betting that the economy will recover and become the top group in the country.
The so-called heroes come out of troubled times. There are many successful cases in this situation.But people often only see those who are successful, but forget those struggling people who have fallen in the economic tide.
Gao Huizhen could bear all the cold eyes in the winter, but Shen Nancheng couldn't bear it. Looking at her son who was getting thinner and thinner, Gao Huizhen's heart ached.In the end, after thinking about it, she still felt that she couldn't do without her natal family. If she wanted to gain a foothold in her natal family, she had to prove her usefulness first.
Gao Huizhen began to travel among major banks and lenders, lobbying for loans and investments with her three-inch tongue.Of course it didn't work much at first, but when she was disappointed, she tried to move He Yangxuan out.Half a year ago, He Yangxuan donated 6000 million yuan for earthquake relief, so it goes without saying about his credibility.
Contrary to Gao Huizhen's expectation, what was thought to be hopeless, after mentioning He Yangxuan, turned into a turning point.
Xu is a large amount of donations before, which has gained a high advantage in public opinion, and now it is really necessary to launch some pioneer companies to turn around the business.With the special approval of special national conditions, Gao Huizhen's family's company actually received a large amount of loans and a small amount of investment because of Gao Huizhen's words.
In this way, we really have the funds to turn around, just waiting for the operation to continue.
All of a sudden, Gao Huizhen, the "rice bug" in the original family, became a hero, and her son's status also rose.Gao Huizhen arranged her son into her mother's company while the iron was hot, hoping to use this to enter the company and climb to the top in one go.
In this way, Gao Huizhen is living quite comfortably at the moment.
It's just that she didn't get involved in the company herself, and she doesn't know the situation of the company at home. She just feels that since the funds are in place, success is only a matter of time.
Lin Qian received another call from his mother.Since we made contact before, Lin Qian's mother called at least once a week. Lin Qian lacked interest in it, and couldn't say a few words every time he called, but his mother was still very persistent.
"Qianqian, I heard that you recently... the situation on the mountain is not very good." It's hard for my mother to talk about losing money, so I can only put it mildly.
"This year's weather is bad, and many trees died. However, some survived and adapted to living in saline-alkali land."
Animals are highly adaptable to the environment and will change as the environment changes.The same is true for plants. The sea rain caused countless deaths and injuries on the mountain, but there are also strong ones who have adapted to the extreme environment for plants.
Lin Qian was quite optimistic about this. If a few fruit trees survived, there would be fruits to eat in the future.
What Lin Qian said was the truth, but to his own mother's ears, this was pretending to be strong.
My mother was silent for a while, and then said: "You gave me 30 at the beginning, and now there are 20 left. I will leave [-] here for your brother to marry a wife in the future, and the rest will be used for emergencies. It is not easy for you to start a business now." , there must be many places to spend money."
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and directly refused: "It's okay, it's not that difficult. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Qian would not tell her that his "bankruptcy" was intentional, so naturally he would not accept the money she sent back.
Another month passed, and the villagers soon stopped talking about Lin Qian's family, because they were already in trouble.
Another month of drought, the temperature has risen steadily, and has reached more than 40 degrees.
There have been similar extreme heats in previous years, but they are often the days of great heat, and the hottest days in the past will then become cooler day by day.
But right now the sky is cloudless, and the sun feels like it is getting bigger day by day.
Lin Qian had already stopped going up the mountain, so don't be too comfortable at home with the air conditioner blowing on and eating popsicles every day.
At the beginning, Grandpa felt sorry for the need to save electricity, but every time he saw the leisurely appearance of the two grandsons, he gradually became degraded.
The current sun, other people gritted their teeth with hatred, but Lin Qian loved it so much.Because there is enough sun, the solar energy can be used to the extreme. Now the battery is full almost all the time. After it is used up, it can be fully charged again in a day or two.The inside of the greenhouse is illuminated by strong sunlight during the day, and solar energy collects sunlight at the same time. At night, the fill light continues to shine. The growth speed of the plants is 1.5 times faster than that of ordinary planting. Don't be too happy.
The newly planted vegetables have already started to be eaten on the home side, and the village has also begun to irrigate the land.
The rat problem is still serious, but fortunately it is not as bad as it was a month ago.The country specially approved Xue Xinyi as a doctor in a temporary clinic to temporarily take over his father's work and provide medical services in the village.The relevant medical policies issued by many countries are placed on him, and now even rat poison is distributed through Xue Xinyi.
It is said that this is the latest drug developed by scientists, and it is highly infectious to small mammals.In limited experiments, human immunity was able to resist successfully, but it was fatal in mice.On the contrary, it will also have an impact on cats and dogs, so it is recommended that those who have mammals at home do not go out, at least wait for a month or two before the dust settles.
In fact, the following statement is basically useless. Before the end of the world, there were fewer and fewer pets in rural areas. From last year to this year, there were many disasters. There were very few livestock and poultry, let alone pets.
Lin Qian's family still wants to raise two dogs, but so far they haven't found anyone to adopt or give away their puppies.
At the same time, the state's support plan for rural enterprises has also been implemented here.
The situation of college students like Lin Qian going back to the village to make mountain buns was too in line with the conditions of the state's support, and he even deliberately focused on training and increased capital investment.
Lin Qian didn't dare to ask for more. After discussing with the village chief several times, he only decided to apply for an investment of 200 million yuan and sign any agricultural and sideline product transactions. State-owned enterprises will choose transactions first.
After another few days of busy work, Lin Qian took the delegation up to the mountain for several field trips. His whole body was tanned like a ball of black mud. It was still He Yangxuan who couldn't see it first, so he put on sunscreen for him every day.
Since getting the approval of their grandfather, the relationship between the two has become closer, and they have become more daring when getting along.Almost except for the last step, the two have done almost everything shamelessly.
As the skin became more intimate, He Yangxuan became more and more courageous.From the obedience in every possible way at the beginning of the pursuit, he is about to turn over and become the master later.
For example, you can't go to bed without taking a shower, or you can't sit on the bed while wearing pants, and you even have to monitor the time when you brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush.
Obviously, everything that could be accommodated was accommodated when I first moved in.
Lin Qian protested again and again, but He Yangxuan's eloquence was so good that Lin Qian held back everything he said.
"It's summer now, and it's incomparable with winter. Let you take a bath before going to bed every day. First, it will wash off the sweat in time. Second, it will reduce the frequency of changing sheets, and it is very effective in preventing skin diseases. As for brushing your teeth, let alone bacteria eat It’s easy to get sick when you go in, so if you have a problem with your teeth, where do you go to see a dentist? Now that your condition is relatively better, and you can still go to the dentist, what should you do if the famine is severe in the future? This is called planning for a rainy day, so listen honestly.”
In this way, Lin Qian no longer had the position to refute He Yangxuan's words.
Not only Lin Qian, but even grandpa's side fell.The old man who was already quite sloppy, but he kept himself clean like this, actually looked comfortable to him, and He Yangxuan forcibly made a good habit out of his supervision.
The daughter-in-law of Uncle Liu’s neighbor’s stomach is getting bigger and bigger. Grandpa has nothing to do when he visits his house. He will always hold something in his hand, a handful of vegetables or a few eggs. Fortunately, Uncle Liu's house is in good condition, and the pregnant woman looks pretty good.
At noon, the horn rang in the village, which probably meant that people with daughters and children should pay attention. Recently, people who trafficked women and children appeared in this area, or it was not kidnapping, but blatant robbery.A van drove into the village. On the road, I saw a car stop and pull people into the car and go straight away.
The seriousness of the matter can be seen by the fact that the village trumpets can be used to shout.
Lin Qian's family had no children and no married girls, so naturally he didn't care.Grandpa stood in front of the window for a long while after listening. Lin Qian walked up to him. Grandpa felt him coming, but he didn't look back. He just sighed softly.
"Rampant human trafficking is a harbinger of troubled times." Grandpa said.
"There is a sale because there is a market and people buy it. Last year, a plague caused many people to lose their children, and many people did everything they could to have a child or a woman who could give birth. In addition, the situation was chaotic. There's no way to avoid that."
The videos on the protection of wild animals on TV often say: "There is no harm if there is no trade." This kind of thing is also reasonable when it comes to human trade.It's just that the previous crackdown was relatively strong, and there are rarely such rampant situations.Now that the country has returned to its starting point and is struggling to stand up, it is obviously powerless to deal with this kind of thing.
"You understand." Grandpa turned around and went back to the sofa to sit down. "Actually, in our village, two or three out of ten daughters-in-law were bought here. It is said that they were hired from matchmakers, but in fact no one bought them." I know where the girls in the matchmaker's hands come from, such as your aunt. Everyone knows it in their hearts, but in order to marry a daughter-in-law, no one cares about this kind of thing. Later, the law was perfected and free love was advocated. It’s slowly becoming what it is now.”
Although there are still cases where parents arrange marriages, there are no such sellers with clearly marked prices.
"No one ran?" Hearing what his grandfather said, Lin Qian felt disgusted in his heart.
"Run? Do you think it's the current society? Now girls have been educated and know what is right and wrong. In the past, the girls were taught by their parents and what they were. The in-law’s family must obey, otherwise they will be beaten to death by the in-law’s family, and there is no place to sue. Back then, your grandma was almost abducted by the first old bachelor in the village to become a daughter-in-law. At that time, what if the girl was really snatched away? , it belongs to others. Otherwise, the reputation will be gone, and you don’t want to marry someone else, it’s such a cannibalistic society.” When Grandpa said this, he shook his head, still not fond of recalling the past.
"Then why did you marry my grandma?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.
"Your grandma looked good back then." Thinking of his long-dead wife, grandpa's eyes softened a little. "She was stupid when she was young. She believed whatever I said. When I said I wanted to marry her, she didn't care about her parents." She objected to packing her own luggage, so she moved here and lived with me, my family was so poor, she stayed here and never left, this stay is a lifetime."
At that time, I walked through the darkness, and the love left behind was also the most sincere.
"Never passed the bride price? Then why don't you say that you abducted my grandma?"
"Damn it! It's your grandma who got me behind." Grandpa turned his head away from Lin Qian, picked up the remote control and continued watching his video.
Robbing women and children has never happened to me, and it will always be a temporary topic of conversation. No one will take it seriously, especially if there is no one in the family who may be a victim.
It's just that Lin Qian didn't expect that something would happen that evening.
In the evening, grandpa was cooking, and He Yangxuan was there to help.Lin Qian was cleaning the living room when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, so he went out to check, it was Uncle Liu's daughter-in-law.Lin Qian also called her Aunt Liu, but she was not alone with the provocative long tongue.
"Qianqian! Something happened to your sister-in-law! Auntie, please do me a favor and send your sister-in-law to the county hospital! It's bleeding!"
