Doomsday Grain

Uncle Liu's house was fine, and Lin Qian didn't go any further.

Xiaoyudian is obviously better able to adapt to such a harsh environment than the adults in the family, that is to say, running on the kang is full of energy.

This winter, I don't know how many children will die, and the population has been growing negatively. This is the most desperate time.

And Lin Qian remembered that there were a few more pregnant women in the autumn, and he didn't know what was going on now.

All Lin Qian could do was take care of himself.If you have extra strength, take care of the fry and livestock.

When I got home, the house was full of aromas.Walking into the kitchen, I saw He Yangxuan was skewering. Grandpa is grilling meat.

"Why do you want to eat barbecue?" Lin Qian poked his head over.

"The stove is dangling in front of our eyes every day for the past two days. Don't you have to eat barbecue? Go and marinate the fish again. Let's eat grilled fish." Grandpa brushed the meat skewers with oil.

Lin Qian took off his coat, tidied up and brought the killed fish to the dining table to marinate with ingredients.

"Master, why didn't I know you could also barbecue?" Lin Qian had never eaten it.

"In the past, when the conditions were not good, there were no pots and pans outside, and they were baked directly on the fire, and it would be easy to cook after a long time. But now the conditions are much better than before. As long as the ingredients are right, It won't be too unpalatable, you have a taste."

Grandpa handed the freshly grilled meat skewers to Lin Qian, Lin Qian blew on it, and bit off the top piece of meat: "Well, it's delicious, try it."

Lin Qian reached out to feed He Yangxuan.

He Yangxuan is wearing a string, his hands are full of grease.

"How is your Uncle Liu's house?" Grandpa asked.

"It's okay, the inside of his house is okay. The house is not big, with a stove, kang and floor heating, the inside of the house is quite warm, and the light rain is quite pleasant."

"It's good that the child is fine, and this year is really bad. Let's kill a pig when the weather gets warmer? There should be no shortage of oil and water in the village this year. Let's kill the one that can be sold. If we can't sell it, we can keep it for ourselves. "Grandpa said.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature, the latest litter of piglets was too late to sell, and now they have been kept, weighing seventy or eighty catties.It is not good to sell and transport, and the price is too high or too low.

What Grandpa means is to kill a big pig, which can also be regarded as making room for the pigsty, and then discuss with the army, when will it be taken away.

This sudden drop in temperature might make livestock even more precious.

Lin Qian likes the grilled fish made by his grandfather the most. The umami taste of the fish is burnt, and the taste is completely different from other cooking tastes.

I haven't eaten barbecue in the past two years. The first is that I didn't think about it, and the second is to take care of my grandfather's taste.The old man can't eat heavy food, so grandpa suggested to eat it first today.

There is a lot of meat in the left and right houses, and it is better to eat more meat in cold weather.As for Grandpa himself, the skewers he ate were made separately, without any spicy ingredients, so they tasted okay.

The twelfth lunar month is approaching.

The temperature rises suddenly, and has recently returned to minus [-] degrees.Compared with the previous temperature, this is already quite warm.

Lin Qian and the two worked for two days, covering the outside of the greenhouse for raising livestock and the greenhouse for swimming pools with corn stalks, and fixed them with ropes.The charcoal basins inside have been removed, and only the radiator is used for heating, and the temperature can always be kept at twenty degrees above zero.

And the house is only heated by heating, and the cotton curtains on the windows on the first floor have been pulled down. Usually, a few stoves filled with charcoal fires and wax blocks to ignite the fire are placed in the corners to prevent sudden drop in temperature.

The temperature has risen, and people in the village are moving more frequently.

There are a few more extinct households in the village.A lot of people died before, and some lived alone or had only one or two people in their families. This sudden drop in temperature puts those who were already struggling in life at a disadvantage. Death, sometimes just a moment of absence, will come.

For those extinct people, if they have immediate family members, the funeral affairs will be handed over to the immediate family members, and what is left in the family will also be handed over to the deceased.As for those who have no immediate family members, they will be handed over to the village, and the things will be decided by the village, and they will be sent to some people in the village who have a difficult life.

The mother and daughter who lived diagonally across from Lin Qian's house died. It was the family that Lin Qian had given fruit to at the beginning. When there was a snake riot, Lin Qian also passed through her house when he went to the street in front of him.

When the two were discovered, the mother had already been placed in a large closet by the People's Liberation Army who came later, and the mother and daughter were lying in a closet.The mother bowed her body and lowered her head, she must have died while holding firewood outside.The daughter was curled up all over. It should be that after the mother died, the fuel in the house burned out but she couldn't get out, and she was huddled in a corner and froze to death.

If you just run out to grab firewood and go back quickly, you may not freeze to death.Maybe the mother just wanted to bring back more firewood to keep the fire going a little longer.With just such a thought, she was forever frozen in the moment of Baochai.

Liu Zhifeng's mother also died. It was a natural death under such extreme circumstances.

Liu Zhifeng and her [-]-year-old daughter put their mother in a wardrobe and put it in the warehouse to prevent the house from being ignited and heating up, which would damage the mother's body.Now in this world, we can only wait for the beginning of spring.

There are too many people who are dying in this world now, even the door-to-door handouts cannot afford rice noodles.So basically only those who are senior and old, the villagers will bring some rice noodles to mourn when they get the letter.

Lin Qian took two catties of eggs and packed them in an incubator. At the request of his grandfather, he went to Liu Zhifeng's house to take a look.

Liu Zhifeng was old again. He was obviously the same age as Lin Qian, and looked as if he was ten years older than Lin Qian.He was clearly in his early thirties, and the corners of his eyes were already wrinkled.

Her daughter is very sensible, and anyone who comes will pour a bowl of boiling water diligently.

There were two people sitting sporadically in the room, and they were neighbors who came to have a look.

Lin Qian entered the room, found a stool by the door and sat down.

Liu Zhifeng looked up at him, feeling bitter in his heart.Thinking back to the time in junior high school, they were all full of youth and full of hope for the future.That year, she entered the college entrance examination room with great expectations, and she relaxed after seeing the questions.Her intensive brushing of questions for several months is effective, and she knows most of the exam questions.

After leaving the examination room, she fantasized about her future and had a few days of sweet dreams, but she fell to the bottom because of her father's words.

She didn't even have time to take a look at her admission notice, so she packed up her bed and went to other provinces to work. The admission notice, which represented her future, was burned to ashes in the stove by her father as a kindling paper.

Then, like most of the women in the village, she got married, had children, and then divorced with the last of her bones.

Until now, the orphans and widows, a family of two can barely support themselves in this world.

Liu Zhifeng smiled bitterly: "Come here."

"My grandfather asked me to come over and take a look. He hasn't seen your daughter for a while. Now that the weather is fine, the children are slowly going to my house, so let me come over and ask when they can go there." Lin Qian had an old sewing machine in hand , placed on the edge of the window sill, below is the radiator.

The radiator is still the old-fashioned one with protruding iron pieces, which is very durable.

The temperature here was good, so Lin Qian put the egg in his hand on the sewing machine.

Liu Zhifeng saw something and knew that it was here to mourn.

"I'll let her go in these two days." Liu Zhifeng called the girl to him and patted the child on the shoulder.

In fact, the death of the old lady was a relief for Liu Zhifeng.But I was freed financially, and I lost a cuddle spiritually.The old lady is still alive, so Liu Zhifeng can have more confidence in her heart. Now that the old lady is gone, Liu Zhifeng only has her daughter left.

The two women sitting in the room looked at Lin Qian sitting at the door without saying anything extra, then looked at Liu Zhifeng, only looking at the girl.

Lin Qian's family did pay more attention to Liu Zhifeng. It was Lin Qian who stood up for Liu Zhifeng to stab the gangster to death. It was rumored in the village that Lin Qian had taken a fancy to Liu Zhifeng.But it’s been so long, and there aren’t so many things to say in this world now, so many women have died, it’s good to be able to marry a wife, and there won’t be any bad words. This is more like keeping a distance on purpose.

If the two parties really have the heart, matching up neighbors is just a matter of lip service, but this makes people feel a little bit speechless.

The two women looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but said:

"Qianqian, how have you been doing recently?"

Lin Qian nodded: "Very good."

"Your grandfather is not in a hurry to tell you his daughter-in-law?"

Lin Qian raised his eyebrows when he heard the question, turned his head twice, and then smiled: "My grandfather doesn't think about that anymore, I didn't see anyone who promised me a kiss, my grandfather started to push me away. "

The aunt's face was a little embarrassed, and she said tentatively: "Then do you have someone you like? If you have someone you like, tell Auntie, and Auntie will help you find a match."

Lin Qian shook his head: "No need, our life is over."

The aunt was taken aback: "Have a daughter-in-law?"

Lin Qian nodded, and the aunt was full of doubts: "When did you marry your wife? This winter?"

If it is said that this winter because of the bad weather, there is no banquet and no one knows about it, then it is understandable.

"I took it home two years ago." Lin Qian said bluntly.

"Two years earlier?" The aunt was taken aback, she couldn't turn her head, but the aunt next to her understood and tugged on her sleeve.

Lin Qian said truthfully: "My daughter-in-law is a man. My grandfather recognizes this granddaughter-in-law, so of course he won't find me again."

Such a blockbuster left everyone speechless in shock.

When they asked, Lin Qian told the truth.In the past two or three years, there have been a lot of rumors about Lin Qian in the village, but each has its own merits.Although Lin Qian pretended not to hear him as soon as the door was closed, it's not good after a long time.

Those rumors that Lin Qian was sick or liked men were okay, but those rumors that he was with a widow or girl were ugly.Lin Qian had a thick skin and was not afraid of anything, but for someone like Liu Zhifeng, it was difficult for a woman in the first place, and it was even worse to be involved in such rumors, so Lin Qian simply had a showdown.
