Doomsday Grain

This drop in temperature continued until years ago.

Whether it is a coincidence or a gift from God, at least let people have a decent New Year.

The village sorted out the leftovers of dead families, especially dried fish.

There are many suffering families in the village.It can be regarded as some New Year's goods to pick those old, weak, women and children and divide them up.

Generally, the snow will start to melt after a year.Lin Qian and the two watched the temperature gradually warm up, and they also began to intentionally raise the temperature of the fish to stimulate them to mature and spawn.

There are not many people left in the village.These fish, not to mention the only hope, are their hope of turning over.

If the fish can be harvested abundantly in the coming year, even if there is such a cold day in the coming year, it will be easy for the villagers to get through it.

There are also chickens, and they have started to hatch some eggs with the egg incubator, and there is no need to fear that they will not be sold enough when the spring begins.

Less than half a month before the New Year, the army went to the countryside to deliver dumplings.This time it was delivered door to door together with some supplies.Now I don't know when the temperature will cool down again, so I can't go to the cafeteria to eat dumplings like before.

This time the dumpling stuffing is still the main character of traditional Chinese medicine, but the meat is much less than before.

A litter of piglets in Lin Qian's family was just ready to be transported away, and the army prepared pig cages wrapped in quilts.This piglet is not big, and four can fit in one cage.Two soldiers carried the pig into the army card, drove the pig into the warm compartment, and then carried the pig cage back and forth, for fear that the piggy would be blown by a little cold wind.

Now the value of a pig cannot be measured by value at all.

In fact, the original government also raised Piggy to a small scale.But when the temperature dropped, most of the livestock in this area died, and the rest were a little wilted and thin.

In this way, the value of livestock has doubled now.

It took a lot of effort for Lin Qian's family to keep the meat source at home.But fortunately, the remuneration he got was equally impressive, so the hard work was not in vain.

This time, besides dumplings, the supplies sent by the army also included some halva made of maltose.Maltose is actually not difficult to make. There are still some people in rural areas who know how to make maltose, but no one is willing to do so.

These should also be produced in-house.A candy made by adding maltose to crushed peanuts and solidifying them, which is delicious and high in calories.

After they left, Lin Qian's family of three tasted a piece, and it was indeed delicious.They gave a lot, and a pack weighed nearly two catties.

According to Grandpa's wishes, the family kept a little, and the rest was given to Uncle Liu next door.He has children at home, and children must have a sweet tooth.

This winter, there are fewer children in the village, and there are even fewer newborns.

The day after the army came to deliver supplies, Lin Qian's family slaughtered a pig.This year the slaughter of pigs was nearly ten days earlier than before.

The butcher who slaughtered pigs last year froze to death this year, and I don’t know who else in the village can butcher pigs.

Grandpa ordered the two to kill them.

The two had killed once before, so they had some experience.But looking at the tied fat pig with the knife, he still hesitated to use the knife.

After all, it was raised day by day from birth, and it is normal to be reluctant to kill and eat meat suddenly.

Grandpa folded his arms and looked at the two of them: "How about I come?"

"You still kill at such an old age?" Lin Qian held a knife in one hand, and stroked the pig with the other.

The pig looked at Lin Qian with wet eyes and hummed urgently.

Grandpa said casually: "You've killed a lot of people, what's the difference between a beast?"

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at Grandpa.

Grandpa waved his hand: "Do you still want to kill him? The meat buyer will come later."

Fearing that people would block the door and get in the way, the family got up early to kill the pigs.

Lin Qian glanced at He Yangxuan. He Yangxuan was about to take the knife, but Lin Qian didn't give it to him. He let him hold down the pig, and went in with the knife to kill the pig.

Lin Qian's feeling at the time was that he didn't want to eat pork anymore in the next half month.

The grandfather alone directed the two children to depilate the pig with boiling water, process the pig's blood, and then disembowel the pig.

When people first came to buy meat, the two had already dealt with it almost.

This year, because there are fewer people, there is no limit to selling pork, and you can cut as much as you want.Then a hole was pierced through the straw and the meat was tied up, and the man left with the straw.

When people from the village came to buy meat, most of them carried stick rice.A few people came over with dried fish to exchange for meat, and Lin Qian also exchanged them.

When Lin Qian's house was busy, someone broke into him from outside.

Lin Qian didn't know who it was at first glance, but the man came in and went straight to Lin Qian.Lin Qian took a step back, because there was a butcher's chopping board, the man couldn't reach Lin Qian.

The visitor couldn't catch Lin Qian, so he stared at Lin Qian for a moment, then suddenly bent his knees and knelt there.

"Qianqian! I beg you, save your brother!"

The man was wearing a hat, the wrinkles on his face were covered with ice, his face was ashen when he spoke, the frost on his trembling eyelashes melted, and the drops of water fell and mixed into his tears, he looked very pitiful.

Lin Qian made a distinction before recognizing that it was Lin Fengying.

The people nearby hurriedly helped the old lady up, and superstitiously said that if the elder kneels down to the younger generation, the younger generation will have their life shortened.He didn't understand how big a deal it was, but Lin Fengying, an old lady who usually wanted to walk around Lin Qian, came to her door and knelt down.

"Tell me what's going on slowly." Lin Qian raised his eyes and saw so many people present, his eyebrows first frowned.

Lin Fengying burst into tears and said: "Qianqian, it's all my fault! It's all my fault! I didn't teach your little brother well! He beat someone to death! He insisted on asking for a thousand catties of grain for his life. How can I have that kind of grain at home? I beg you, Auntie, please help Auntie! I kowtow to you!"

After saying that, Lin Fengying wanted to kneel down again, but this time the people around her pulled her tightly.

I don't know if she did it on purpose or not, with so many people present, Lin Fengying, an old lady who was nearly eighty years old, knelt down to pray for Lin Qian, a grandson, which was equivalent to holding Lin Qian back.

He Yangxuan had just arrived at the door with the freshly cooked blood sausage, saw this posture, handed the basin in his hand to an acquaintance standing beside him, and turned back to look for his grandfather in the small building.

The place where the meat is sold is a vacant greenhouse, just a few steps away from the house.

Lin Qian was still calm: "How can you beat someone to death? Aren't you just sitting at home in this cold weather?"

Lin Fengying was also in a panic, and cried while gritting her teeth: "Isn't it the old Zheng's daughter-in-law who is shameless to hook up with your little brother! Your little brother is only so old. When you first learned about human affairs, you really went after listening to her nonsense, but in the end you let me go." She was blocked by a man. Your little brother has a big temper, and he beat him to death if he couldn't understand a few words! Qianqian, you are very capable! You should think of a way! He is blocked now, so ask me for food , where can I get so much food!"

After hearing what Lin Fengying said, Lin Qian's face became even more ugly.If someone came to pick trouble and beat someone to death, it would be self-defense. What kind of thing is it if someone beats someone to death while being a mistress?

A thousand catties of grain?A thousand catties of grain is not bad.If Lin Qian came to see it, there wouldn't be too many scumbags to kill someone.

However, the family members of the deceased only needed a thousand catties of food, and did not mention the matter of death.I don't know if I'm really hungry, or if I only see food in my eyes, and even look down on my own family's life.

Lin Qian was still thinking about how to push the person so that it would not be too ugly, but when he looked up, he saw He Yangxuan coming with his grandfather on crutches.

"Master!" Lin Qian called out.

It will be easy for grandpa to come over.After all, grandpa was also Lin Fengying's elder brother, Lin Qian was a grandson who couldn't refuse, so grandpa would have no problem saying anything.After all, everyone in the village knew how Lin Fengying treated her own brother a few years ago.

Two years ago, when Lin Qian pretended to be bankrupt, she was even more insulting to the village, spreading rumors that it was God's retribution.

Lin Fengying turned her head and saw that it was her own brother, she felt even more confused.The old man walked over step by step. Lin Fengying became cruel and knelt down in front of her grandfather.

This time no one stopped.Grandpa is her real brother, Youdao is like a father, Lin Fengying can bear this kneeling grandfather.

Lin Fengying thought she could be helped up by kneeling, but everyone around her hid.As soon as he raised his head, grandpa supported the crutch with both hands, without moving his head, he just looked down, and he didn't intend to help her up.

How can Lin Fengying control so much, she just cried: "Brother! You can save me! I want a thousand catties of grain! I will definitely pay it back in the future! I didn't take it for nothing!"

Grandpa didn't believe her nonsense for a long time.Looking up at Lin Qian, Lin Qian repeated what Lin Fengying said just now, and grandpa frowned when he heard that.Not to mention, the frowning look of the grandfather and grandson is exactly the same.

He Yangxuan was also thinking about how to deal with the matter.Lin Fengying knelt here and begged. Relatives are the most important thing in rural areas. If they are really rejected at this time, the efforts of the previous two years will be in vain. The village will definitely think that their family is too cruel, and they will not reach out to help at this time .

He Yangxuan and Lin Qian looked at each other, thinking of something, grandpa spoke first.

"My family is not short of a thousand catties of grain, you can ask for it."

A smile appeared on Lin Fengying's face immediately: "Hey! After all, he has to be my own brother. Why do you think I have..."

Before Lin Fengying finished speaking, Grandpa's walking stick hit the ground and interrupted her.

Grandpa continued: "I can't believe what you say in the future. What's more, I don't want to borrow from you. But your grandson is your only child after all. If you want to keep such a root, I can't watch him die."

Lin Fengying was stunned: "How do you say that?"

Grandpa said coldly: "If you want food, I will bring it to you now. But in the future, whether it is farming or fish farming, within ten years, I will have half of all the harvest!"

Everyone was stunned.What is it called?This is a bright grab!

Regardless of the harvest in the field, if fish are raised in the future, it may be worth tens of thousands of catties of grain a year.Grandpa, with one lion's mouth, will go halfway, or ten years!
