Doomsday Grain

I made two, and put one in each of the two's bedroom and the grandfather's room.I tried it on the first night, and this time I didn't use a ventilation fan, but tried to open a small ventilation window on the second floor.

The air conditioner is not turned on, and the heating is used alone to dry.When I get up the next morning, I won't feel too cold when I get out of bed in my pajamas.Such a situation is very rare in winter.

After this was done, the family of three spent another afternoon blocking all the windows on the second floor with thick curtains stuffed with cotton.

Such hot air can gather together, although it is freezing outside, it is still acceptable inside.

Two days later, the temperature dropped to minus fifty degrees.

The indoors are okay, but the greenhouse is a bit overwhelmed.It is tempered glass itself, and it is difficult to preserve temperature even in extremely cold conditions.Entering the greenhouse, the plants inside have already begun to wilt.Fortunately, livestock are protected by fur or fat, so the temperature can still stand.

These dishes are all treasures, and the colder the winter, the more valuable they are, and they can't be frozen to death like this.

Covering all the protective panels, Lin Qian began to think about whether he could stuff cotton into the interlayer between the greenhouse and the protective panels.

The two discussed it, and they still asked Grandpa how to do it.

Then, in the strong wind, the three of them were wrapped like three rice dumplings. Under the guidance of their grandfather, the two of them used corn stalks to cover the greenhouse layer by layer, and then tied it with hemp rope.Each greenhouse is like a yurt made of corn stalks.

The corn stalks are the corn stalks of the corn planted in the yard last year. Because the family either cooks with electricity or uses a stove, it is rare to use corn stalks for fire, so there are still a lot left.However, the corn stalks planted in the yard are not enough to cover the entire greenhouse. The corn stalks must be spread thick enough to have the effect of heat preservation.

There are still some old corn stalks from the old house.Braving the cold wind, Lin Qian and He Yangxuan borrowed the tractor from Uncle Liu's house next door to pull the corn stalks.

After a busy afternoon, corn stalks were laid on the top of each greenhouse, while the wind turbines were repositioned, the wires passed through the small holes on the side, and the power conversion and batteries were placed inside the greenhouses. good.

Such windy weather is dominated by wind turbines, and the solar energy has been withdrawn, only the solar water heater is still in use.

It was only busy in the evening.Lin Qian's eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost, and it was much more pleasing to the eye when he looked at the greenhouses that looked like firewood piles.

"If you are still worried, you can put another layer of felt cloth on the outside. The corn stalks are similar to cotton, and you won't be afraid to block the heat from escaping." Felt cloth is a very common fabric in the village. It is cheap and durable. It's rough, but it's good for footing and the like.It is also often used to buckle on the chicken rack to keep the poultry warm.

It's getting dark, and no matter what we can do, it will be tomorrow.

If it wasn't for grandpa's move, Lin Qian and He Yangxuan might have just covered their heads with a quilt.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Qian and the two went to the greenhouse to take a look. Sure enough, the temperature had improved a lot.With the fire and the heat-retaining lamp, the greenhouse is warmer than the house.

There was some ice on the air vent of the greenhouse, Lin Qian stepped on the stool to shovel the ice off and applied some antifreeze glass water.

Especially in the greenhouse where livestock are raised and the fire is lit, the vents must be unobstructed.If it is blocked by ice, not to mention suffocation, even carbon monoxide poisoning is enough.

"It's much warmer here, but it's a pity that the sun can't come in outside, so the light depends on the lamp." Lin Qian jumped off the stool.

"It's nothing, the windmill can pay for the lighting." He Yangxuan put the stool under the shelf, and put the antifreeze glass water into the space.

"Tomorrow is your birthday?" Lin Qian asked.

"Have you decided what to give?" He Yangxuan smiled.

"Why are you talking about gifts?" Lin Qian laughed angrily.

"I really can't think of anything to give, so I'll give you to me." He Yangxuan took two steps back after speaking, and sure enough, just as he dodged, Lin Qian's fist came.

"Be serious." Without hitting anyone, Lin Qian picked a few lettuces from the soilless cultivation rack.In the evening, grandpa fried shredded pork and put lettuce leaves on rice and shredded pork to eat together. The taste can make people eat two more bowls of rice.

Lin Qian picked it up and handed it to He Yangxuan, asking him to put it in the space, so as not to be wilted by the cold wind on the way back to the house.

"Recently, I've been thinking about gifts for you very seriously. You know, I don't have any good things at home. What I have now is basically bought with you at the beginning, and I can't go out. The gifts I can give are all Nothing unusual."

"I never thought about asking for any precious gifts, it was just a commemoration. In the past, what you gave me was food. To be honest, I kept the packaging and kept it. Every year in the future, we will give each other things, no matter What to give, one a year. This way, when we are old, we can’t do anything, just lie in the house every day and count the things we have given each other in this life to pass the time, think about how good it is.”

He Yangxuan didn't care what the gift was, even if it was a few leaves, it was a precious memory for He Yangxuan.

As soon as He Yangxuan finished speaking, Lin Qian felt a little hot on his face.It was only after He Yangxuan finished speaking that he realized that he had told the truth.

Every time he gave him a gift, he cherished it. How long has he loved him?

"That's right. If anyone dies first, the other person can have some thoughts."

Lin Qian had already spoken, and He Yangxuan got a slap in the stomach. When he hid, He Yangxuan didn't chase after him, but said, "How old are you? You're jumping like a monkey, how dare you mention death?"

Lin Qian just smiled and said nothing, he has died once.He cherishes every day he is alive, but if one day he is about to die again, he is not afraid.He has been able to face life and death calmly, but the person in front of him has not yet realized this.

That's right, it's the prime of life, it's the great age, who would think about those things that are there?

"Let's go, go to bed. I'll celebrate your birthday tomorrow, baby." Lin Qian pulled He Yangxuan to put on his coat, left the greenhouse and entered the small building.

Entering the house, I entered the house with a lot of cold air.The two took off their coats and stayed downstairs for a while wearing only sweaters, and then went upstairs after the cold air dissipated from their bodies, so as not to bring the cold air up.

"The temperature difference between going in and out of this greenhouse is not small, if you don't make it easy to catch a cold." He Yangxuan sat on the sofa, there was a thermos bottle next to the coffee table, and He Yangxuan poured two cups of hot water.

"It's not necessarily possible to build a corridor leading to it. It should be okay to wear more clothes and exercise." Lin Qian sat next to He Yangxuan, tapped a hot cup with his fingertips, and couldn't drink for a while.

"This damn weather, maybe it will be colder. We are living comfortably now. If it gets colder... we will be busy."

"If it's really cold enough, let's collect all the vegetables we can harvest, put all the tools in your space, and drive the livestock to the greenhouse closest to the small building. We only care about one greenhouse and Inside the building. We did a good job of keeping warm, and we have your space, so we can endure any kind of cold." Lin Qian had never experienced such cold in his previous life.At that time, he was located in the south. Although it was cold in winter, he could survive it with a fire, but he couldn't stand the hunger.

At this time in the previous life, Lin Qian was still trying to get back.During the daytime, I rushed on the road with my body tight, and when I encountered a place that hired temporary workers to work, I went to work for a few days or exchanged some food to continue on the road.

However, I have been hungry for a long time and my body is weak. Many times, the food is robbed not long after I get it.So I can only stuff as much food into my mouth as possible every time I get food, and hide as much as possible in the remaining sleeves and trouser legs, so as to avoid wolves and leopards.

The famine at this time has already begun in a small area.Because of the extreme weather, even if the government wants to provide assistance in some places, it will be a drop in the bucket.

He Yangxuan picked up the cooler cup, blew on the hot air above, and took a sip of hot water.Swallow "how many people can freeze to death this year" into your stomach.Is this still a question?Such extreme weather, coupled with the lack of supplies and food, and the hunger and cold, will not freeze to death or starve to death, but will also die of malnutrition and illness.

It's not that if you eat something, you won't die. People eat to accumulate enough nutrition.Now that meat is precious and vegetables are scarce, even if there are enough staple foods at home, there is no way to provide enough nutrition for people to survive.Even if one or two vegetables are supported, people will become thinner and thinner, and the body will become weaker and weaker due to not taking in enough nutrients.

That's how it is to starve to death.

Malnutrition, coupled with extreme weather, this winter is another despair.

The two drank hot water, warmed up their bodies, and went back upstairs.Grandpa had already lay down at this time, and was fascinated by watching the video. Lin Qian took a look to make sure that the fans were turned on, and went back to sleep with He Yangxuan.

The next day, the temperature dropped another two degrees, and two people died in the village, both of them were elderly.With such good conditions in Lin Qian's house, it was inevitable that the temperature would drop in the middle of the night, let alone other people's houses.

The two old people who died both froze to death after the temperature dropped sharply in the early morning. They are old, and their body temperature is not very good. In addition, their bones are not good. They are actually lucky to leave now, at least they didn’t suffer too much. mortal sin.

Lin Qian didn't know about it. He was busy preparing for He Yangxuan's birthday early in the morning.

If it's a normal birthday, don't worry about it.But this is a post-apocalyptic birthday, so it must be as grand as possible.

Celebrating another year of my life, and wishing that next year's birthday will be even more exciting than this year.

Grandpa also loves He Yangxuan very much, he is busy after getting up in the morning, and has to cook a table full of meals for He Yangxuan.

Lin Qian arranged the living room well, pasted a few festive balloons on the roof, and posted happy birthday on the wall.

Grandpa cooked a few eggs for him, and asked him to take them back to the bed, roll them on the bed, and then eat them.

The custom here is that birthday stars roll eggs for others to eat, and they will have good luck. He Yangxuan rolls an egg and eats it himself, and rolls one for each of them.

When He Yangxuan was eating the eggs, grandpa and Lin Qian were still watching.He Yangxuan looked at them and saw that he was a little awkward, and whispered to Lin Qian, "Did my master tell me to get out?"

Lin Qian punched him around the waist: "Can you not be shy about your birthday?"

He Yangxuan stuffed the remaining half of the egg into his mouth, and continued to roll his eggs.

After eating the eggs, I still have to do the work. Grandpa continued to work on his recipes. Lin Qian and the two went to the greenhouse to work for a while. At noon, they caught a chicken and a fish and went back. Grandpa killed the chicken with a knife, and at night they ate chicken stewed with mushrooms .

Mushrooms were picked during the first two days of autumn this year.This autumn is only about ten days long, and there are few mushrooms born. Even if you taste the mushrooms of this year, they are all fresh.

I ate four courses for lunch, and saved all the serious dishes for dinner.

After dinner, the two went to help in the kitchen, but the grandfather disliked the three of them always bumping into each other, so he drove He Yangxuan out, and brought his grandson to cook.

Lin Qian helped his grandfather scrape off the scales of the fish, and suddenly thought of it and asked, "Master, why have you never seen your birthday? No, it should be a birthday at your age."

Lin Qian had no concept of birthday since he was a child, and his grandfather never mentioned it.Lin Qian was brought up by his grandfather when he was young, so it was quite perfunctory to cook a bowl of noodles and an egg on his birthday. Lin Qian didn't know that birthdays can be taken seriously until he went to university.

If grandpa celebrates his birthday, at such an advanced age, even if the usual birthday is not celebrated, then the whole number of ages will have to be specially organized.

It's not that Lin Qian didn't want to think about it, it's because grandpa didn't teach him how important this is.

"I had breakfast early, how can I remember that?" Grandpa chopped the whole chicken into pieces.

"Then why don't you think about a date and treat it as your birthday? We didn't take it seriously before, and life will be difficult in the future. Remember to wait until that day to celebrate it, and we will live another year. I feel that I have earned more." Lin Qian smiled.

Grandpa Kitchen Knife stopped, as if thinking.

"Grandpa, which day do you like?"

"Birthdays are just random?" Grandpa continued to chop chicken nuggets with a knife in his hand, "It was given by my parents and God. In fact, if the old saying is true, you can't celebrate your birthday before the age of 50, and you can only do it after the age of 60. Otherwise, it's unlucky. But there's not so much talking about it now, it's okay for you two children to be crazy, and it's a joy for me to get involved."

Grandpa really can't remember.Born in times of war, how many people can remember this?It's pretty good to be alive.

Lin Qian was a little disappointed, so he brought the finished fish to his grandfather, and turned his head to see He Yangxuan looking at him at the door.

"Look at what?"

"You look good." He Yangxuan said with a smile.

He Yangxuan's birthday added some color to this boring day.It was rare that the room was more lively, He Yangxuan chose some music with a strong rhythm and put it on, and the atmosphere became even better.

Instead of lighting a lamp for supper, six candles were lit.The candle is made of soy wax, which will not affect the taste of food due to peculiar smell.The candlelight was just enough to illuminate every dish, and the faces of people looked a little blurry.

Under this kind of dim candlelight, the whole family dines together, creating a unique atmosphere.

The most central thing is a ready-made cake, which was made by He Yangxuan on a whim when he passed by the cake shop before the end of the world, but if you eat it now, two people take turns to celebrate their birthdays, it will be enough for two or three years.

He Yangxuan was put on a birthday crown made of paper by Lin Qian, although in He Yangxuan's own opinion, it was a bit silly.

He Yangxuan sat down, grandpa and Lin Qian looked at him under the candlelight, just for a moment, the softest part of He Yangxuan's heart was lightly tapped.

He took out the camera and the stand from the space, stood up and took a few steps back, and put the camera on the stand to adjust the angle.

Lin Qian understood what he meant, lit the candles on the cake, and blew out the other lighting candles. Grandpa saw that he was going to take a photo as a souvenir, and even tidied up his neckline to make himself look better.

He Yangxuan set the timer, returned to his seat, and the family of three looked at the camera together, leaving a precious moment.

There are printers in He Yangxuan's space, because in the past, spare printers and various types of printing paper were always placed in the company, and He Yangxuan also conveniently put two in the space, not expecting to use them in the apocalypse.

After taking the photo, He Yangxuan took the camera to see the shooting effect, nodded and put the camera away first.

Sitting back in his seat, no one sang happy birthday to him.He Yangxuan himself was very good, took out his mobile phone and played a happy birthday song, made a wish by candlelight, and then blew out the candle.

"May only this life, be with him forever."

After blowing out the candle, Lin Qian lit the candle, and then stretched out his hand in front of He Yangxuan.

On the hand is a paper bag tied with facial tissue.

He Yangxuan saw it as soon as he opened his eyes, and after seeing it clearly, he was a little puzzled: "Have you caught a cold?"

He thought it was paper for blowing his nose.

Lin Qian realized after a while, and said a little annoyed, "Birthday gift!"

"I don't want to change to a better package." I just wrapped it in a piece of toilet paper, and I didn't think it would be a snot-blowing paper and threw it away.

He said so in his mouth, but he took the paper bag honestly with his hand, opened it directly, and there was a ring lying inside.

He Yangxuan took it to look at it by candlelight. Even though the candlelight was dim, He Yangxuan could still tell that this ring was very old, and the material should be silver.

"I gave this to you with my grandfather." Lin Qian smiled, "This was given to my grandma by my grandfather back then. It was the most precious thing in my family back then, and it can be regarded as handed down. Everything in our house is Not rare, the only one with a special meaning is this. My grandfather said that he was full of confidence that this ring could be passed down in the family and passed on to his daughter-in-law for generations. However, after my mother bought a gold ring back then, she stopped wearing it It is indeed a bit shabby to give you now, but if you marry into our family, this ring will be a witness."

Grandpa hasn't given He Yangxuan anything serious yet. Although he has no objection to the two being together, there is still some estrangement after all.Now this ring is in the hands of He Yangxuan, although this ring is worthless, but this heart weighs a thousand catties.

Of course He Yangxuan understood the deep meaning of this, and tried to wear the ring, but unfortunately it was too small, so he could only put it on his little finger in the end.

"Should I say that I am married?" This still needs to be earned.

"It's not important." Lin Qian poured a glass of red wine for each of the three.At this time, he can only drink red wine. Grandpa wants to quit drinking, and He Yangxuan can't hold alcohol well.At this time, two cups of Erguotou were poured, and it is estimated that He Yangxuan poured it before the dinner table.

"Wenxuan, happy birthday." Lin Qian said sincerely.

He Yang Wenxuan, He Yangxuan.Nowadays, only Lin Qian is called Wenxuan.

"Thank you."

"Live a good life." This is a simple blessing from grandpa.

"Father!"

"Hey."

Once shouted and answered, from then on, this is a real family.

This meal was so enjoyable, it was rare for Lin Qian to relax the policy for his grandfather, let him drink a few glasses of red wine, he was a little drunk when he sat down at the table, and the table was not cleared away, the temperature on the left and right first floors was cold, so it wouldn't break if he left it overnight, It's not too late to clean up tomorrow morning.

When the three went upstairs, the three went in two directions.Grandpa turned his head and saw the two grandsons leaning into the room together, he sighed softly, with a smile on his lips, and entered the room.

He Yangxuan fell on the bed, he didn't have much capacity for alcohol, but now his head was a little confused.

Lin Qian was very awake. He stood by the bed and looked at He Yangxuan who was lying on the bed. He didn't move for a while.

He Yangxuan took a few breaths, opened his eyes to look at Lin Qian, and patted his side: "Sleep."

Hearing his words, Lin Qian made a move, took off his sweater, and untied his belt slowly.

He Yangxuan squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Qian's slow movements. He always felt that there was a strong temptation in these slow movements.

Lin Qian kicked off his pants, leaving only a pair of underwear, climbed onto the bed, and looked at He Yangxuan with his hands propped up.

He Yangxuan said lightly, "I haven't taken it off yet."

Lin Qian stared at He Yangxuan for two seconds, pulled out a shoelace from nowhere, pulled He Yangxuan's hands, and tied his hands to the head of the bed.

He Yangxuan didn't struggle either. He didn't understand why Lin Qian started having fun with him after drinking a little wine.

"Do you need equipment support?" He Yangxuan asked with a smile.

Lin Qian didn't even look at him. He opened the bedside table and took out the scissors.

This equipment doesn't seem right.

Lin Qian took the scissors, came back with a smile, and began to pull up He Yangxuan's clothes.

"Qian'er! Let's calm down, this thing is dangerous! Don't touch my little brother!" He Yangxuan was half awake. At this moment, he felt that Lin Qian was drunk, otherwise he would never have seen him play like this before!

Lin Qian ignored him, and cut He Yangxuan's clothes with the scissors, from the hem to the armpits, then turned the scissors, and cut along the sleeves to the cuffs.The scissors were very fast, and I always felt that I used too much strength and it was piercing He Yangxuan's body.

He Yangxuan also shut up, for fear that if he frightened Lin Qian, it would really hurt him.

After cutting one side, Lin Qian began to concentrate on the other side.

Then wait until the neckline is cut off, and the whole dress will come down.

Lin Qian was really not in a hurry, he slowly took the torn clothes and cut out a strip of cloth.

He Yangxuan seemed to understand what he was going to do. Then, Lin Qian stretched out the cloth and tied He Yangxuan's eyes.

A silent kiss fell. At this moment, even if He Yangxuan was in the dark, even if Lin Qian took out another cannonball, He Yangxuan would not be afraid.

With no sound and no clear movements, He Yangxuan gradually sank in the darkness.The heat was burning in the air, and the spring waves of the two old men who were approaching their thirties were rippling.

Waking up the next morning, He Yangxuan stared at the ceiling without saying a word for a long time.

It's okay to have sex after drinking, and the two of them did a lot of shameless things.

But isn't it a bit too much to be raped by your own wife after drinking?

There was movement around him, and Lin Qian woke up.

"You have to be responsible to me." He Yangxuan complained.

Lin Qian threw a pillow at him: "Get out! Damn it was me who got fucked."
