Doomsday Grain

The man looked at the book and felt a little embarrassed.

"Actually, this book won't sell for much. After all, it's an old book, but this is also an updated commemorative book. Three catties of grain, okay? Any grain will do. This book is pretty good."

He Yangxuan nodded: "Do you accept compressed biscuits?"

The man was taken aback, and nodded again and again: "Collect it, it's a good thing."

Especially when fuel is precious in cold weather, a high-calorie compressed biscuit is really needed.

He Yangxuan picked out a few more books, Lin Qian looked at the toys, thought about it and squatted down to pick out two building blocks.

When the child saw that he was about to buy his toy, he smiled and showed his small gums with missing front teeth.

Of course, Lin Qian didn't need these toys, but there was a little rain in the neighbor's house.The child is so old, the toys he has played with are the toys left by the dead brother.Lin Qian watched her grow up, the left and right toys were not expensive, so buy some for her to play with.

I bought a few books, plus two sets of building blocks, and only spent a pack of compressed biscuits in total.In fact, this is considered a bargain for the stall owner.

I turned around two more times, but didn't see anything I liked.

It's just that I feel that no matter what time it is, people are always inseparable from transactions.It is an act that has been passed down for many years to exchange the extra things at home for the things you need. It can also ensure that no matter how harsh the environment is, people's quality of life will be improved as much as possible.

After leaving the flea market, the car drove around the city twice, but with nothing to gain, we drove back.

Everyone reduces travel in winter, and it is difficult to get lively at this time.

After returning to the village, just after driving the car into the garage, grandpa entered the garage through the door of the small building and said to them:

"When you left, the village chief came over. It's not about digging a step well. Last year, two families insisted on compensation or they refused to move. One family died when the temperature dropped, and the other family only had three members left. Man, I went to the village head to sign the contract. The village head came and told me that the project can start after the busy farming next year. When it is finished, I may try to raise a few crucian carp in the water, and the government will send one over. If the filtering machine works, the fish raised in such a step well can also generate some income.”

Those who clamored for compensation from the government last year all died after the temperature dropped.If it is cruel to say that it is retribution, it can only be said that it is good fortune to trick people.

"The fish fry should only be used in the next year, and they may not be able to be stored in the next year." Lin Qian didn't worry about it either.

"Well. Anyway, let's make a preparation." The grandfather followed the two grandsons back to the house.

He Yangxuan said: "However, if the government's filter device is sold, we can buy one, so that the reservoir in the field can raise some fish."

"Let's see it."

The temperature dropped again on the third day after the two of Lin Qian went to the county to send their parents back.

This time, the whole family reacted quickly when the temperature dropped.The greenhouse itself is well-prepared, and it is enough to light the brazier when the temperature cools down.

The windows on the first floor of the small building were once again hung with thick curtains filled with cotton, and a few more stoves were lit, and all the batteries were charged. The family should not be too comfortable eating baked potatoes around the stove.

He Yangxuan goes to the greenhouse every morning and evening with full armor, and the rest of the time is spent by the family.

Lin Qian called his mother to inquire about the situation.

The temperature is extremely low now, but the city is directly under the jurisdiction of the government, so the situation will not be too bad.

In the community where Lin Qian's mother lives, a stove is lit at the entrance of the corridor on each floor, and a small opening is opened in the window for ventilation.

This can not only ensure that the heating will not be damaged by freezing as much as possible, but also play a role in heating.

Sometimes the heating temperature in the house can't go up, and even open the door to let the hot air from the corridor outside come in a little.

Lin Qian's mother's family of three put on all the thickest clothes. Although it was difficult, they could still get through it.

It stands to reason that this day was the wedding day of Lin Qian's younger brother, but because the weather was too cold, it was canceled first.Among the things Lin Qian sent, he was willing to eat only one dried fish, and planned to save the rest for later eating.

The village is more or less psychologically prepared for this drop in temperature.Some people even fill their bedrooms with firewood, and avoid going out to get firewood as much as possible.No matter how economical people are, they will not be stingy with firewood at this time, and the stove and kang stove are always burning hot.Even so, the amount of heat that can be stored in the house is pitiful.

It is precisely to avoid frequent going out to get firewood, some people caused a fire because of carelessness.

Only two of the family of four escaped and went to the neighbor's house to seek help, but in such a cold day, how can the fire be saved?

There was a raging fire, but few people in the village knew about it.Most of the people blocked their windows tightly, went out less, lived in seclusion, and didn't know anything about their neighbors, even if they were only a few houses away.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Qian finished taking a bath in the bathroom, and came out to see He Yangxuan holding a book and reading intently.

He Yangxuan lifted the book: "I bought it two days ago."

"The 15th year of Wanli? Haven't you seen it?" Lin Qian went to He Yangxuan's residence before the end of the world, and there was a study in that residence.Sometimes Lin Qian used to pick out some favorites to watch.Although he doesn't like to read history books, he has seen this book several times on He Yangxuan's bookshelf and has some impressions.

"I can't read it too many times. And there are a lot of comments from the original owner in this book, so I learned a lot from reading it." He Yangxuan handed what he had read to Lin Qian.Basically, everything was written in the blank space, with straight lines and wavy lines between the lines, and even two post-it notes to write things that couldn't be written in the book.

Lin Qian looked at the densely packed words: "It can be seen that the original owner really likes this book."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have written so many things with so much effort.

"And this person's education is not low. Maybe he is a teacher, or even a history teacher." He Yangxuan said with some regret, "It's a pity that this is a worldly situation. Just look at what he wrote, maybe he can publish a book by himself. Of course, he may have already published a book." book."

This is the case in the last days, spiritual food is something that only the top rich can afford.And ordinary people, even those who were considered well-to-do in the past, can only work hard to fill their stomachs.Even so, quite a few people died of starvation and freezing.

"It's really that good-looking?" Lin Qian likes to read some famous novels, especially adventure ones.Sometimes I also read some online novels to pass the time, and I have never read historical ones.

"You can read it, at least this book is not so rigid." He Yangxuan rubbed his eyes, "But don't read it today, go to sleep."

Putting the book on the bedside table, He Yangxuan grabbed Lin Qian's arm and pulled it over.

Lin Qian moved quickly, turning over and getting into his bed.With a flick of the foot, the two slippers were thrown out, and the quilt was tightly covered.

"Turn off the lights."

"What time is it, can you sleep?" He Yangxuan asked with a smile.

"I'll listen to cross talk for a while."

Lin Qian plugged in the earphones to the phone.

He Yangxuan turned off the desk lamp, and squeezed his hand into Lin Qian's bed: "It hurts your ears to listen to too much headphones, so we listened together."

Lin Qian ducked: "You can't hear me."

"Tsk, why don't you listen to the music behind my back?" He Yangxuan grabbed Lin Qian's waist and pulled him to this side, raised his head, and put his ears on Lin Qian's earphones.

Lin Qian took off the earphones here and put them on for He Yangxuan.

"Why are you avoiding me?" He Yangxuan asked.

"It was a toss up yesterday."

"Then you had dinner yesterday."

"Not the same thing."

"Why isn't it the same thing?" He Yangxuan got into Lin Qian's bed the moment he said this.

The two of them slept dishonestly, so they usually covered them with two quilts, so as to save the other party from being tossed and turned on the bed without a quilt.But after the two of them were done with no shame, they usually hugged each other and fell asleep.However, the situation caused by this is very likely to wake up, one person is wrapped in a quilt warmly, and the other has only one corner and is awakened by cold.

"You don't know the value of sperm when you're young, but when you're old..." Before Lin Qian could finish speaking, He Yangxuan pinched his waist.

"You think I'm old, don't you?" In fact, they are the same age, He Yangxuan said that on purpose.

"Can you be reasonable?" Lin Qian raised his knee and paid back symbolically.

He Yangxuan directly kissed Lin Qian's lips, and said with a smile, "It's not a day or two since I'm unreasonable."

His fingers brushed over Lin Qian's waist and eyes, Lin Qian's body trembled, his body temperature rose a little.

"The older you get, the thicker your skin!" Recalling when they were together, He Yangxuan would be happy all day with a kiss.It's better now, it's getting more and more greedy.

After hearing his words, He Yangxuan's hands became faster.

Cool down now.When there is no need to worry about the temperature, there are only a few entertainment activities for the two of them.Now I have to save electricity and go to bed earlier at night, so the frequency of sex is also more frequent than before.

The two of them just wore an earphone, and the cross talk on the phone was still playing. From then on, Lin Qian could no longer look directly at the cross talk.

The temperature dropped to minus one hundred degrees again, and most people in the village could not wait to stick to the kang 24 hours a day.I even started to put two layers of iron sheets on the kang, put an unused basin on the tiles, and burn some coal in it to keep warm.

In order to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning, the windows will be opened a little.A layer of quilts were nailed outside the windows, and a little gap was torn from the quilts.This will not only ensure ventilation, but also prevent too much cold air from entering.

The whole family sat on the kang, with a hot kang under their buttocks, and a charcoal basin was burned on the kang.The whole family gathered together in cotton-padded jackets, and cooked on the charcoal basin when they were hungry. Although it was difficult, they still insisted on living.

Years of disasters have killed too many people.And those who survived are working hard and trying harder to find the hope of life.

People are still surviving and multiplying.It's just that in this last days full of despair, I don't know how long I can last.

What people are looking forward to at this time is just to heat up as soon as possible.Even if the temperature rises only twenty degrees, their life will be easier.
