Doomsday Grain

"Now the Chinese medicine is out of the door?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.

"Let's make do, the temperature dropped a lot and froze to death before." Xue Xinyi found a place to sit down by himself.

"It's good to be able to grow it. Western medicine has a shelf life, and it's hard to get it these days, and the village can't afford it. It's good to grow some medicine at home and sell some soup." Lin Qian brought him a melon seed plate.

Only the family of three knew about the fruit in the house. Although they had a good relationship with Xue Xinyi, they had to keep it a secret.

"That being said, there may still be few planted. There are few medicinal materials, and there are only a few kinds of diseases that can be cured. My father taught me some when I was at home, but I haven't learned it systematically. I'm still a half-baked."

Xue Xinyi is a master's student in the medical school, has not yet graduated, and has no practical foundation.Although Chinese medicine is ancestral Chinese medicine, his father lost it before he had time to teach him. This kind of thing can only be explored by Xue Xinyi himself.

"You are the only pharmacy in our village. I went to the village before, and there is only one doctor in the clinic in the village, and I don't care about anything. Now it's difficult to go to the county, and people with serious illnesses basically count on you."

In fact, Xue Xinyi's condition was not worse than that of Lin Qian's family, and he had one more advantage than Lin Qian's, that is, he knew medical skills, which was good for the whole county.

"The pressure is quite high." Xue Xinyi sighed and looked around, "What about him?"

Xue Xinyi was also not sure how to address He Yangxuan.He couldn't remember the name, but Brother Lin Qian seemed to be sarcastic, so it was simple and clear to use "he".

"Where are you feeding the fish?" Lin Qian sat beside him and smiled, "Why, did you come here because of this?"

"Almost. Why do you think you're coming out at this time?" Xue Xinyi didn't come to confirm, he just came to chat.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Lin Qian was really puzzled, as if everyone was familiar with this matter.The main reason is that no one from the family has come over in recent years, so Uncle Liu just said a few words, so everyone around here seems to be used to it.

"What's so strange?" Xue Xinyi said, "I like men too."

Lin Qian choked for a moment. That's because he was short-sighted. It seems that this matter is quite common.

"Then when did you know about me?"

"I saw it when I got back. Your partner's attitude was too obvious at that time." Xue Xinyi said again, "Actually, it's really not a good time at this time. Just wait until the next year to sell the fry, and the villagers can Because it will be more useful to tell the story after you are full than it is now."

There is a saying that eating people has a soft mouth, and when everyone is full because of crucian carp, then Lin Qian will be ashamed to talk about people behind his back even if this happens.Now that winter is the time when there is nothing to do and nothing to do, every family walks around the streets and chats, isn't this rushing to talk to others?

"It's the same if you say it early or late. My grandfather still thinks I'm late. Besides, no matter how much others talk about it, they can't dig out a piece of meat. Why do you care?"

Xue Xinyi glanced at him: "I really envy you."

"What's there to be envious of?" Lin Qian smiled and said, "If I make a fool of myself, it will be much easier for you to come out of the closet in the future."

Everyone in the village thought it was new to have the first one to come out of the closet. It would not be surprising to have a second one, and it would be no surprise if there was a third one.

"Who am I going to come out with?" Xue Xinyi smiled, a little envious, "I don't even have a date."

To say that before the end of the world, there was a special circle for gays, as long as you avoid the cancer of promiscuity dating, it is not difficult to find a same-sex partner, at least it is much easier than it is now.Now that the end of the world is coming, there are only a few people in the village, and they can't get out. It's too difficult to find someone you like.

"At least no one will introduce you to a wife." Lin Qian said.

"You think too much. You might be able to block three or five at the beginning, but after a long time, I have no one around, so I will continue to attack me. Anyway, I don't have a boyfriend, so it's okay to introduce girls to me."

In fact, people who have been away for a few years will inevitably be out of place when they return to the village.At least Lin Qian had his grandfather by his side, was with him, and was with the whole family, so at least he could adapt.Xue Xinyi's parents are gone, and he suddenly came back to live alone, and he was somewhat uncomfortable facing the people in the village.Although some of them brought relatives with them and were able to move around, it was inevitable that a person would be powerless in some matters.

They were still chatting here, when He Yangxuan entered the room, he saw the two sitting together and chatting very well.

Lin Qian turned around and saw the man: "Have you fed the fish?"

"Well, are you chatting?" He Yangxuan and Xue Xinyi looked at each other, not knowing why, but feeling awkward.

Lin Qian smiled and said, "He knew about our relationship from the very beginning. No, it should be said that you had thoughts about me. We were not together at that time."

"Oh." He Yangxuan didn't find it strange, took off his coat, and changed into the cotton shoes he wore in the room.

Not knowing why, Lin Qian stood up, "Sit down first, I'll make tea."

He Yangxuan looked at Xue Xinyi and sat down on the sofa.

As soon as Lin Qian put the tea into the kettle, he heard the satellite phone ringing. After looking at it, it showed that it was his mother.

Recently, the mother and son had less and less contact with each other. Lin Qian still hesitated when he called suddenly.

After connecting, the other party didn't speak. Lin Qian knew that the other party could hear him. After waiting for a while, the other party didn't make a sound, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing else. It's just... that your younger brother has a partner again, and he didn't plan to make a fuss. He just wanted to have a good meal with the two families. You are his brother, so Mom thought, Can you come over and have a meal?"

The last time her youngest son got married, Lin Qian didn't come. At least the relationship between mother and son has eased now. After all, he was his own brother. Lin Qian's mother also wanted to see if she could invite him over.

Lin Qian knew this too, and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Brothers are brothers, but they have only met twice in this life.Besides, Lin Qian was not a person who valued blood ties too much, otherwise he would not have been able to keep a distance from his mother.

"Then...then I'll think about it."

Lin Qian thought about it again, he was not in a hurry.

Lin Qian's mother was a little disappointed, but this result was expected.

"That's okay. If you want to come over, call me again. The date is set on the fourth of next month, which is seven days later. The days are quite ample. Think about it again."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qian held the phone and thought for a while.

He was going to stay with Xue Xinyi for dinner, but someone had a cold and asked Xue Xinyi to buy medicine, and found Lin Qian's place, so Xue Xinyi went back.

At the dinner table, Lin Qian told the two of them that his half-brother was getting married.

"Then go, it's your brother anyway. If you don't know anyone in the village, you go over to eat, let alone this." Grandpa has always maintained a positive attitude towards this kind of thing, and he has persuaded Lin Qian to associate with his younger brother more before. It's just that Lin Qian didn't want to say anything.Now that the question came to him, Grandpa expressed his attitude.

"This is your business after all." He Yangxuan said, "Don't ask us. If you go, I will accompany you. It's okay if you don't want to go. If you really think you should do something, we will send some members there two days in advance , you did your best."

Although they are brothers, they don't usually communicate with each other. Sending something over there is considered as the most benevolent and righteous.

Lin Qian fiddled with the rice in the bowl, but still couldn't make up his mind.

After the weather clears, the government will use bulldozers to clear the snow, and this side will be clear again.

The tree in the crevice at the entrance of the village stopped growing. It seemed that the tree was afraid of the cold, and it burned again in autumn, but it hasn't grown yet.All the cracks are sealed again, and it is relatively easy to pass the car.

When the military card came over before, it was just a simple cleaning, and ordinary private cars couldn't get through, but now it is unimpeded.

In the summer before, because of the fear of the strange tree, they usually walked out by the river.But after winter, snowflakes cover the road by the river. It would be too troublesome to clean it up. Moreover, the snow covered the river bed, and it is hard to see where is the road and which is the river.

But after a period of adaptation, in fact, the crack is not scary anymore.

Although the growth rate of the strange tree is abnormal, it has not been seen so far that it will harm people, and it is still within a safe range.

After thinking about it for two days, Lin Qian still planned to take something to send there, and it won't be there on the day of the wedding.

It’s the same if you don’t go there, just take more things.

There was only such a young son beside Lin Qian's mother. After she had a daughter-in-law, she should have grandchildren to accompany her. The days to come would not be sad.

It's actually pretty good.

Lin Qian was a little embarrassed as to what to give, but it was his grandfather who helped with his advice.

Since it was the wedding banquet of his half-brother, even though he was not familiar with him, he had no enmity, and there was nothing wrong with bringing some good things.

There is nothing missing at home, and it would be a joy to bring some good things to the past.

The family saved some eggs, picked out five catties, killed a chicken and a duck, packed them up and frozen them.Because of the drop in temperature, a lot of vegetables at home froze to death, but it is a good thing in this world. There is a jar at home, and I carry a jar of pickles, plus a few dried crucian carp.

These are just the most common food for Lin Qian's family, but any one of them is something that money can't buy.

The scale is just right.It won't be too much, let others know his family's real family background, but it won't be shabby either.

It's no wonder that even Lin Qian's own mother was on guard. It's better for only his own family to know how many good things his family has.This real mother is just a real mother, not a family.

I just went to the county to have a look again. If there are still shops open, I will also see what the prices are now.

Before going out, call Lin Qian's mother to confirm, put the things in the car, turn on the ignition and go straight to the county.

Lin Qian basically didn't use the bun, and used He Yangxuan's off-road vehicle for most of his trips.At most, during the busy farming season, the small bread is used as a tractor to transport things back and forth, and I dare not go out when the weather is usually bad.In this world, if the car breaks down, there is no place to repair it.

The car drove all the way, Lin Qian looked at the snow-white ground with some emotion.

In the last days, winter is the best time to watch.The heavy snow covered up the decadence of the last days very well.If you don't pay attention, it seems that you are still before the end of the world.
