After the Earthquake of Rebirth

This morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Ning Qiyan carried a bucket in one hand and a ladle in the other to water the vegetable fields in the house.

It's only mid-June now, and the hottest time at noon is already 35 degrees, and many people in the resettlement site have already suffered from heat stroke.So everyone began to avoid the hottest time of the day, and even changed the time to receive relief food every day at five o'clock in the morning.

The temperature rose too fast, and the vegetable field in the house was extremely short of water. Ning Qiyan had to replenish water for the vegetable field while Du Cheng went downstairs to pick up his things.After all, it was planted with hard work, and Ning Qiyan couldn't bear to kill him like this.Fortunately, there is plenty of well water in the space, so they don't have to go downstairs to carry water like other people.

The community where they lived was not seriously affected by the disaster, and many residents moved back from the resettlement site. Therefore, the government set up a water station at the gate of the community, and water tankers came to deliver water every morning and evening.

City D has no shortage of water. Even if the various places face drought in the future, the Qingyan River that flows through several large reservoirs in the city will never stop flowing.

Therefore, whether it is drinking water or water, it has always been free and unlimited.

Nowadays, almost all the people under the government’s jurisdiction in Northeast China open land to grow vegetables under the call of the government. Every family who can go home spreads soil in their homes and corridors, and uses the vegetables they get to plant large or small crops. Small vegetable plots of various shapes.Even the resettlement sites in the University City are planted in every corner.

After finally pouring water on the last spot, Ning Qiyan straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A little puzzled, Du Cheng never took so long to go downstairs to get things, and a little worried, Ning Qiyan was thinking of looking downstairs from the window when he heard the sound of the door opening.

"Why did you come back?" Ning Qiyan saw Du Cheng and walked over.

Du Cheng didn't speak, but turned sideways.

Ning Qiyan was surprised, and looked at the place Du Cheng let out.

Eyes wide open for a moment, mouth slightly opened, Ning Qiyan looked at the equally astonished person behind Du Cheng in astonishment.

Regardless of the wet hands, he couldn't help touching his face.

If it wasn't for his rationality, Ning Qiyan would have thought that the person opposite him had traveled through time more than ten years later.

No wonder he reacted too much, except that the man Du Cheng brought up was slightly shorter than Ning Qiyan and had more signs of aging on his face, no matter in face shape or facial features, he was very similar to Ning Qiyan.

The man who came up with Du Cheng was also amazed at how similar the young man standing in the room was to himself.

If he hadn't been very sure that he was the only son in the family, he would have thought that the other party was his long-lost brother.

"This is..." Ning Qiyan suppressed his astonishment and looked at Du Cheng.

"Beard's lover." Du Cheng explained.

Ning Qiyan nodded numbly. He had heard Du Cheng say that he looked a lot like his bearded lover before, but he didn't expect to be like this to this extent.

If the other party was older, no one would doubt that he was his own father.

"That... hello, my name is Ning Xiaowen, and I'm An Peng's lover." The man smiled awkwardly.

Ning Xiaowen has been living in J City. He happened to be drying clothes in the yard during the earthquake. After the earthquake that lasted for nearly half an hour, what he saw was the half-collapsed courtyard wall and the complete ruins. s home.

After being dazed, the first thing he thought of was An Peng who was still serving his sentence in D City not far from J City.

Ignoring the cries and screams of the neighbors, he rode on the old tricycle that survived in the yard and rushed directly to the city.But before he entered the city, the scene of chaos and collapse made him grit his teeth and turn onto the national highway.

The earthquake came suddenly, and the disaster was so severe that it was impossible to have a bus to D city in a short time.So he rode over by himself with the rusty tricycle under his body.

The lane blocked by the car accident, the deep potholes across the highway, and the collapsed street signs, the journey of more than 100 kilometers forced him to ride for more than half a month.Among them, because they didn't know the way, they took countless wrong roads. When they were hungry and thirsty, they searched for food and drink from the ruins of the rest stops along the way.

All the way through the wind and sun, wearing stars and moons, the result is always good.

An Peng is alive and well.

The moment he saw An Peng, the exhaustion and sadness all the way and the timidity and worry that he suppressed made him cry bitterly.After crying and calming down, I realized An Peng's current situation.

An Peng was originally sentenced to 23 years in prison, but now 15 years have passed, and after deducting the four-year commutation due to his good performance, there are only four years in prison.Under the new policy, if An Peng was imprisoned for the crime that year, he can be released on bail for the remaining four years of his sentence.Five hundred catties of grain a year, two thousand catties in four years.

Not to mention that Ning Xiaowenguang came here on a broken three-wheeler, even if he was still at home, he would not be able to produce so much food.But now there are collapsed ruins everywhere. If you are lucky, if you spend more time, you may really be able to make up for it.

In an ordinary family, even if there is no food stock, there will always be a dozen catties of rice noodles at home, right? !Along the way, there are so many ruins in D city, and they can always make up enough.

However, An Peng refused to let him live in the resettlement site set up by the government. Instead, he gave him an address and asked him to come and find a young man named Du Cheng.

Even within the high walls, Hu Zi heard about the chaotic situation outside, and he couldn't rest assured that Ning Xiaowen, who had been weak and deceitful since he was a child, lived alone in a strange place.

Two thousand catties of grain is not a small amount in the current environment. Even if Ning Xiaowen works hard, it will take a long time. God knows what will happen during this period.

After that, under the arrangement of the prison guards, Ning Xiaowen stayed in the vacant office for two nights. In the early morning of this morning, he waited for the military vehicle that came to the prison to deliver supplies, and followed the vehicle to the university town.

Originally, he was still a little hesitant, and wandered around the gate of the community a few times. Even if An Peng asked him to come and find someone, but what happened now, with a stranger like him and a broken three-wheeler, there was nothing, not enough for people. Trouble.

And in the car, he heard from the soldiers following the car that the settlements in this area were in good order, not as chaotic as other places.

In the end, he made up his mind to find a place to settle down at the resettlement site, but he didn't expect that on the way out, Du Cheng, who came back from receiving the supplies, looked straight at him.

Now that he saw this young man named Ning Qiyan, Ning Xiaowen knew why Du Cheng could recognize him, a man he had never met before.

"Two thousand catties of grain?" Ning Qiyan turned on the air conditioner and handed Ning Xiaowen a bottle of water.

Because the solar generator is activated outside the window, the air conditioner at home can also be used normally.

Ning Xiaowen took the water a little awkwardly and nodded.

After entering the spacious room, covered with green vegetables on the dark soil, passing through the living room covered with soil, and the clean and tidy bedroom, he, who was dressed in dirty and wrinkled clothes, was extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that the other party was still fidgeting, Ning Qiyan pushed Du Cheng aside, sat opposite Ning Xiaowen, and put on the gentlest smile.

"After the earthquake, we also saved a lot of things. We still have two thousand catties of unlimited food. Now that the sun is out, the weather is too hot. When the temperature drops in the evening, let's pick up people." Ning Qi said. Yan still smiled gently, not showing it on the face, but sighing in his heart, before the one thousand catties, three hundred catties, and now it is two thousand catties. I didn't expect that there are so many places to use food in this life. I knew that I would save more before the earthquake. Food is gone!Otherwise, when digging through the ruins before, it is not limited to the well-packaged food, and the damaged or unsealed things are collected, even if you don’t eat it yourself, it’s good to use it to pay for these places!

But it's too late to regret it now, no matter what, Chong Du Cheng rarely has a friend, and the other party takes care of him for a long time, let alone two thousand catties, no matter how much it is, he has to find a way.

"No, no, I can do it myself." After listening to Ning Qiyan's words, Ning Xiaowen waved his hands repeatedly to refuse.

He listened to An Peng's words and came to find someone to cause trouble, how could he ask for food? !If it's not relative, no matter how good a friend is, they can't do this.Not to mention that it was the first time I met him, even if An Peng was here, he couldn't agree!

Seeing his panicked rejection, Ning Qiyan felt a lot more comfortable.

The same is helping people, he naturally hopes that the person he helps is an honest person, not a greedy person who is used to it.

Ning Qiyan suppressed the opponent's shaking hand, and slowed down his tone.

"It's so chaotic outside now, we can't trust you to go out alone. Two thousand catties, how long do you have to save by yourself? When the beard comes out, the two of you can work faster than one. Besides, the world is going bad now. In the same way, the beard will come out one day earlier, and everyone will feel at ease!"

Originally Ning Xiaowen wanted to refuse, but Ning Qiyan's last sentence did express his worries.

Since the earthquake, the world has been in chaos. I don't know why, but he has traveled such a long distance, and he has not seen any rebuilding. He may not know what will happen in the future.Unlike the 15 years they separated before the earthquake, now that An Peng is not around, he is always in fear.

Seeing that Ning Xiaowen no longer refused, Ning Qiyan stopped talking and looked at Du Cheng.

Whether it is to provide food or take care of people, he can handle it, but it is inconvenient for people to live with them.

After all, he and Du Cheng spent most of their time in the space, and if outsiders were around, they might be exposed.

Du Cheng received Ning Qiyan's hesitation and pointed to the next door.

Ning Qiyan's eyes lit up, it was also a way to let people live next door.

But don't worry, seeing that Ning Xiaowen is in a mess, let him have a good rest first, and go to pick up his beard at night.
