The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

Seeing that the firepower was about to escalate, the village chief hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Okay! What's the trouble! Tao Sheng, take care of your son, the village is not happy to do anything casually, and you"

The village looked at the second uncle and said, "You are an elder, what did you say just now! If you have the ability to spend money to vote, you can also canvass votes if you have the ability. It turns out that this matter is not reasonable for your family! You can only blame it. I can blame you for choosing a bad time, whether it was sooner or later, but when Tao Sheng came back, if you want me to say, then you have to admit that you deserve it! I also want to pay you 10 yuan. I don’t know about it. If I know that you still want to vote for the results, dream!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the crowd watching the excitement, and then turned his attention to the people involved, "Should this ballot be continued? If not, the house will be Tao Sheng's home. Hurry up if you continue. The weather is hot now. The sun goes down at six o'clock, which is the time to go to the fields to do farm work, and it will be dark if it is later."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't go for a day, let's vote, don't do anything else today, just implement the matter of this house"

"That's right, that's right, let's vote, it doesn't matter if you don't go to the ground today, anyway, they are all called, let's vote"

"Tao Sheng, this vote counts for what you said just now, right? Is it really worth 5000 yuan?"

Lei Taosheng smiled and nodded, "Yes! As long as the result of the house is based on the votes, it counts!"

Someone else asked, "The ballots are anonymous. How do you know who voted for you? What if someone said they voted but didn't vote? What if you said you didn't vote and denied it?!"

As soon as these words were said, many people thought of this question and hurriedly asked.

Lei Taosheng hastily said, "This is easy. Those of you who voted write half of the paper, and tear off the blank half. When the time comes, you can match the interface with the ballot, isn't that enough?"

"Hey, this is a good idea. As expected of a person who has read the book, he is smart."

Yao Ziqing rubbed against his second brother, "I said why did you agree so confidently, second brother, did you expect him to do this a long time ago?" After thinking about it, he said, "Then 5000 yuan, do we want it?"

"Yes, why not?!" Lei Lang behind Yao Ziqing immediately raised his head when he heard this, and quickly interjected, "Five thousand is not much, but you can also go to the supermarket and spend a fortune. Your snack store is almost empty, let's buy to go"

Yao Ziqing glared at the third brother, "You ate all of it. Obviously I still have a few chicken wings left. I saw it this morning and it was gone!" It’s interesting to grab something to eat”

Lei Lang hurriedly said, "Good boy, I'll take you to town tonight, buy as much as you want, I'll pay for it!"

They were arguing quietly below, and quickly sent the ballot that Yao Ziqing had written up.Hmm, no corners.That's what he said, but he knew they were joking, their family didn't lack the 5000 yuan, so why bother.It's good to owe no one to anyone, so you don't have to betray favors for 5000 yuan.

After Lei Li sent the ballots up, he carried the reluctant Lei Lang down to the ground.They only plan to plant one stubble this year, and then raise the land.Seeing that the second uncle was so frightened that he lost his temper, Yao Ziqing felt bored looking at it, and tugged on the corner of the second brother's clothes, "Go back, it's so hot"

Lei Xiao nodded, got up and asked Yao Ziqing to go out together.Before he had gone far, he heard shouts behind him.When he turned around and saw it was Lu Xueyi, he stopped and waited for him to come.

Lu Xueyi quickly ran two steps and asked, "I saw that you voted for my dad, but you forgot to tear off the corner, promise, I will tear it off for you, here"

Looking at the small half of paper in Lu Xueyi's hand, Yao Ziqing was a little amused. He had never seen such a "eating inside out", smiled and said, "No need, we have nothing to do with it, and the house is yours. Money No need for money”

Lu Xueyi asked in surprise, "You really don't want it? This is 5000 yuan, not 500 yuan. Don't feel embarrassed. My family is rich, so this money is nothing, just thank you for your support, you deserve it"

Yao Ziqing shook his head, "No need, thank you for chasing it out."

"My name is Lu Xueyi, what's your name? Let's make friends, I think you are pretty good"

"Yao Ziqing, this is my second brother Lei Xiao, my house lives in front of that forest, you can come to my house to play if you have time"

Lu Xueyi nodded hastily, "Is that the newly decorated beautiful big house? The day I just came back, I saw that house and thought it was a holiday villa built by a rich man here. Your house is so beautiful, it's not like the tofu in the countryside. The block-like buildings look like dirt at first sight.”

Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Lu Xueyi coldly, this man was not only irritable and martial, but also talked a lot about "going home", he just hooked Sier's shoulder and turned away.

Yao Ziqing was taken away by the second brother, while turning around to wave goodbye to Lu Xueyi.After a turning, he turned his head and said to his second brother, "This Lu Xueyi is too interesting. He doesn't want it, and he has to chase it out to give money. How rich is their family that they don't treat money as money?"

When he got to the door of the house, Lei Xiao let go of him, just for a while, the place where the two touched was already wet with sweat.As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Wu happily ran towards them wagging his tail, raised his forelegs and put them on Yao Ziqing's lap to hug them.

Yao Ziqing had no choice but to squat down and touch Xiao Wu's back hair, "Xiao Wu, you have grown up, you can't always ask for hugs, and you are so fat and heavy. Last time you took a nap, you lay on your lap, which hurt me. legs are numb from sleep.”

"I'm going to the field, don't run around at home"

Seeing the second brother turn around and go out, Yao Ziqing curled his lips, the village is only so big, where can he run around.Seeing that there was no one at home, Yao Ziqing closed the door and entered a small single room on the first floor.It was full of stuff from the old house, which was useless, but the old man was reluctant to throw it away, so he put it in this small single room.Push away a pile of things in one corner to reveal a floor tile of a slightly different color.Yao Ziqing pulled the floor tiles away, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, mixed with some earthy smell, which was not very pleasant.Walking slowly down the narrow stone stairs, feeling along the wall, touching a raised place and pressing it down, the cellar instantly became brighter.

The cellar is quite large, the size of the room depends on the size of the cellar.It's just that there are some spaces separated, like an underground house.Yao Ziqing took out the generators in the space and put them in the cellar. He bought a total of ten generators. No matter whether they can be used in the future, at least they will be prepared.

It took Yao Ziqing nearly half a month to sort out the containers that he went to collect with his second brother, and now he happened to take out some high-end wine and put them in the cellar.This kind of thing is not afraid of time, it is afraid that time is not long enough.There is also salt, some hardcover salt is now restricted in supermarkets, and they are not allowed to buy more.Fortunately, when Yao Ziqing bought it, the control was not so strict, and he bought a lot of scattered ones.

Taking out a large vat half a person's height from the space, Yao Ziqing unpacked the salt, put the bags of salt directly into the large vat, almost filling the vat, and then sealed the opening.With such a big tank, their family can eat it for 100 years without any problem.Yao Zi sorted out some things that are more durable and durable in the space early in the morning, and when he remembered them, he simply took them out of the space and put them away first.

After working for a long time, Yao Ziqing went back the same way.As soon as I got back into the house, I breathed a sigh of relief. Although the cellar was cool, it was a little airtight.If it is closed for a period of time, you have to wait for ventilation before entering again.

Xiao Wu sat at the door responsibly, just now when Lei Xiao came over to go in, he was 'threatened' by Xiao Wu not to let him in.Seeing him coming out now, he hastened to greet him cheerfully.Yao Ziqing praised, "Xiao Wu is so good, I will reward you with a meaty bone tonight"

Little Five barks twice, wagging his tail even more cheerfully

"Second brother, look, Xiao Wu can understand me. If I say give it a bone, it will bark at me." On weekdays, Xiao Wu doesn't bark very much, and follows him quietly every day Running before and after running, just like him who was beside Lei Xiao back then.No, why does this metaphor feel a bit wrong...

Lei Xiao was sitting in the living room, Lei Li and Lei Lang were arranging the dried corn.I plan to order a mill to grind these corns into flour, which is durable and can be eaten in a variety of ways.When I entered the house and didn't see Si'er, I searched around. When I saw Fat Tuanzi sitting at the door of the small warehouse, I knew that Si'er must have gone down to the cellar.Before he got close, he was threatened with a low whine not to let him approach.Lei Xiao didn't insist either.After training for so long, this dog still only recognizes Sier as its owner.Anyway, as long as you don't bite people indiscriminately and are aggressive when you get orders, it doesn't matter who you recognize.

Hearing Si'er's words, Lei Xiao said coldly, "Let it sit at the door, everyone will know you're inside."

"Isn't this because you are afraid that you will look for me everywhere if you don't see me when you come back? In the future, when you don't want people to know, you won't let Xiao Wu sit at the door. Xiao Wu understands the words, and you will know next time you try."

"What did you put in there?"

"I put all the wine you made into it, a lot, almost the whole room, and it took a long time to make it. There is also salt, a lot of fabrics, candles, and some durable daily necessities. I’ve put everything in, and I’m going to wait for the weather to cool before I start to make some food storage, and I’ll do it first, the beef jerky and pork buns made by grandma are the best, so I can make more of this.”

Wanting that spicy and sweet taste, Yao Ziqing felt his mouth was getting hungry again.In the past, he was only influenced by the third brother occasionally when he was at home with him. He felt that something was missing if he didn't chew something in his mouth.But since he experienced the cruelty and hunger of the last days, when his appetite became bigger and bigger, he seemed to become more and more greedy.

"Second brother, why do I feel that I am becoming more and more fond of eating, and I always want to have something in my mouth. Do you think I will become a big fat man if I eat like this?"

Lei Xiao silently fantasized about the fat and round Si'er, probably except for a little stress when sleeping at night, the hand feeling should be very good at other times.Aren't there many people who like soft and round things, probably Si'er would like it very much if he becomes like that.

In the end, Lei Taosheng still owned the house. Thirty households voted, and Lei Taosheng got 25 votes. The other five votes were probably due to pressure from his second uncle, or he was secretly promised some benefits.Because there seemed to be some quarrels between those households and the second uncle's family afterwards, but there was no big quarrel. After all, the relationship was not as good as before, although it was not so deep before.

Lei Taosheng soon began to find people to start work to bulldoze the old house and renovate it.The location of their place is very good, the rice fields are just outside the back door, and you can walk to the branch road leading to the main road after walking out of a side road.If the family does not have a car and wants to go to town, they have to go to the main road and wait for the car.There are four buses in the morning and evening a day, if you miss it, you won’t have it.

Because of this, Yao Ziqing hadn't considered this place before.I just thought that if this family fled back when a disaster happened in the future, they would definitely be involved in the land of the house.It would be fine if I could get rid of it with something, but it would be a big headache if I ran into troublesome people.And the reason why Lei Jian took a fancy to this seat was also because of this.

The next day Lei Taosheng really did as he promised, except for Lei Li's family, the rest of the family gave 5000 yuan.Although he hasn't been back to the village for many years, the 5000 yuan has quickly shortened the distance between him and the villagers, even the superficial feelings.

For the Lei Li family who voted for him but did not ask for money, Lei Taosheng was grateful in his heart, not because of money.But it is also because of money that this feeling can be reflected.Lei Li's family environment was not good when he was young, and there were many children. As an adult, he naturally wanted to help out occasionally.At that time, Lei Li was only about eight or nine years old, and Lei Lang was still babbling, so he often took Lei Li to fish and shrimp in the river, and sometimes took him to the town to sell some wild vegetables.

Later, when he left the village, the fourth son of their family had just arrived, and he had teased him a few times, but the child was serious about his birth, and Lei Xiao, the second son of the Lei family, was very strict, as long as he saw someone teasing his younger brother, Just holding Xiao Si'er with a stern face and walking far away.

Now in a blink of an eye, they have grown so big.Looking at the little guys who have grown into four big men, I suddenly feel that time is really a frightening thing to think about. It flies so fast that people feel terrible when they look back inadvertently.

"In a blink of an eye, you have grown up so much. When I left, Si'er was only two years old, and Lei Lang was only a little older than three years old. Time really makes people grow old. Auntie, the four of them are now promising. Your future blessings How long will it last?"

Grandma smiled from ear to ear, Lei Taosheng's father and her husband are cousins, and she also watched Lei Tao grow up since she was a child, and the relationship is actually very close.It's just that since Lei Taosheng went to the city, he never came back again. He thought that he might have developed well and would never come back again. He didn't expect that when he was old, he would see the kid again.If I really want to say that the one who laments how time flies, it should be her.

"Enjoy the blessings, now I am enjoying the blessings. In my life, with these four grandchildren, I have no regrets in my life."

"Isn't it? Lei Li is not young now, and it's time to say a daughter-in-law in a short time. By that time, you will hold two in three years. You can wait to hold your great-grandson."

Yao Ziqing glanced at the second brother. The eldest brother is married, and it is probably the second brother who was urged to marry.However, the matter of eldest brother's marriage has not yet been revealed. When the world is in chaos, it would be good to have a full stomach every day. I guess no one has such thoughts.

But when he was in the refuge, he had seen a lot of nice women, even girls aged [-] or [-], who were sold for food.Some capable leaders, and even four or five women.Their family will definitely not worry about food in the future. If there is more food in the future, they will be a big family, and those who have more food will be jealous.And their family is all men, which are all strong laborers.Yao Ziqing could already foresee how their family would become a favorite in the future.

"Actually, I came back this time at the request of my father-in-law. My father-in-law didn't tell me much about it. He just asked me to come back to see if my house and land are still there. My mother-in-law is now retired and used to be a high school teacher. She has taught for more than 40 years, and it can be said that she is full of peaches and plums, and one of her students is the secretary-general of the governor of Donglin Province."

Speaking of this, Lei Taosheng looked at Lei Li and Lei Xiao, "Auntie, you watched me grow up when I was young. When my parents went to the farm and ignored me, you cooked for me. Now I don't care about this." Not sure, but just to give you a letter, after the secretary of the provincial governor came to visit my mother-in-law, my father-in-law asked me to come back with my wife and children the next day. The new plan is still planning something, but my father-in-law only has such a daughter, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on me marrying her to marry her back then, after all, it would be impossible to harm us."

Lei Li frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Lei Xiao.Lei Xiao, however, was as steady as Mount Tai, looking at Si'er and Lei Lang outside the yard playing with Xiao Wu and Lu Xueyi, his eyes were dim.

Grandma's expression became a little dignified, but she didn't turn her head to look at the eldest grandson and the others.Xiao Er asked Si Er to suspend school, and asked San Er to resign, even now Xiao Er has withdrawn.She had realized these things a long time ago, but she didn't ask them if they didn't tell them.She can't live for a few more years, and she is already more than half of her body in the coffin. Some things can be muddied, and it is rare for a person to be confused a few times in a lifetime.

It's just that things seem to be more serious than she imagined, and with the increasingly abnormal weather, the old man's mood is getting heavier.People who have lived to their age have all experienced famines.In those years, it suddenly became so hot, the weather was extremely dry, and a large area of ​​the country was in drought.Species failure, food scarcity, hunger and refugees everywhere.

She still remembered that there was nothing to eat at that time, and the little gray noodles planned were not enough for the whole family.At that time, there were many blackened lotus shells in front of the house, and there were many for a few cents.After drying, soak the blackened lotus shells in water, grind them into a slurry with a small stone mill, and then mix the slurry into the ash flour to make ash steamed buns.The steamed buns should not be chewed carefully, but should be eaten with big mouthfuls, and then filled with water.Otherwise, the taste will be a bit astringent, and the more you eat, the more unpalatable it will be.But at that time, it was not bad to have these things to fill your stomach. There were a lot of people who boiled bark and gnawed leather belts, I don’t know how many.

Not long after sitting, Lei Taosheng left with his son.Lu Xueyi was still a little reluctant and wanted to play for a while, their home has a wireless network!I don’t know how much traffic this month has exceeded. It seems that my father has a good relationship with their family, and I think they are very nice and fun when we just got along.

"Dad, can I go and play with them when we renovate the house at home? That little five is so smart and good-looking, he doesn't look like a dirt dog at all, he is very handsome"

"Heh, your aesthetic taste has crossed races and has no borders, right? If you want to play, you can go to them to play, but you have to be polite, you know, your grandma is very nice, and those four boys are also very good Man, listen to your mother-in-law, Lei Xiao is the second child of their family, and he retired from the army. If you have time, you can find him to practice your hands, otherwise you will lose your hand if you play with it open for two months."

With his father's approval, Lu Xueyi suddenly became happy.This rural area is too boring, so I can take his laptop to their house tomorrow and play online."

After the father and son left, the old man sat on the sofa and remained silent.Yao Ziqing and the third brother brought Xiao Wu to show Lu Xueyi its cleverness in the yard just now, he didn't pay attention to what they were talking about in the room, and went to the second brother to poke him.

Lei Xiao patted his head, his hair was a little wet with sweat, "Go take a shower"

So Yao Ziqing silently hugged Xiao Wu and rolled away. Just now Xiao Wu was playing outside with plaster all over his body, so he just washed it together.Raising dogs in rural areas is not so particular. Food that tastes too strong will cause hair loss, and bathing too much is not good for dogs. These are not problems.Wash it when it's dirty, and eat whatever they eat when it's hungry, and it still thrives, no worse than a pet dog in the city!

Lei Lang obviously felt that there was something wrong with his anger. Seeing that the second brother had even fooled the fourth brother away, he felt that there must be something important to announce, so he immediately sat down beside the eldest brother.

Lei Li looked at him strangely, not knowing why.Lei Lang spoke to him in a low voice, Lei Xiao could hear him clearly, and said, "It's easy to catch a cold when blowing on the air conditioner when you're sweating, it's not that you've got nothing to announce." Another layer of meaning in the words is, what do you think? Too much.

"Then why do you feel like the sky is about to collapse? What were you talking about in the room just now?"

Grandma suddenly asked Lei Xiao, "You asked Si'er to suspend school and San'er to resign, and you quit yourself. Is it related to Tao Sheng's return?"

Lei Lang looked at grandma and second brother in surprise, but dared not interrupt.According to the rules of the family, when the elders are talking about things, they are not allowed to interrupt casually. Even if they don't understand what they are talking about, they can only ask later.

Lei Xiao was silent for a while, without nodding or shaking his head, he just said calmly, "There is a cellar built at home. No one in the village knows about it except me and my elder brother Si'er. A lot of things have been stored in the cellar, and we will meet again and again after that. More, I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen, but I promise, no one in the family will go hungry"

Even if there is no space for Si'er, even if there is no sign of disaster, he can still guarantee the basic needs of his family.Unless the disaster of the whole earth has reached the time of force majeure.

"So, you really started preparing for it a long time ago?"

Lei Xiao nodded.

Grandma sighed faintly, and looked at the obviously surprised eldest grandson and San'er, who was full of mist, "What else do you know, what have you not said, let's talk about it together today, let them know what to do, You know what kind of person your brother and brother are, so there is nothing you can’t say.”

Lei Li and Lei Lang quickly turned their heads to look at Lei Xiao, Lei Lang thought for a while and said, "Why don't we talk about it when Si'er comes down, or we have to talk to Si'er again later."

Lei Xiao didn't pause, and said directly and selectively, "The higher-ups have made some moves before, and the moves are not considered confidential, but ordinary citizens don't know about them. Si'er is a student of finance, and investment is his strong point, so I didn't hide it." Sier, Sier is responsible for making money, and I am responsible for hoarding things, and now the weather is getting more and more abnormal, I guess, if this continues, the world will soon be chaotic."

Lei Lang gasped, he really didn't expect the matter to be so serious.At first I thought it was just that the weather was too hot at home, but after the weather returned to normal, everything would still go as planned.It's just that I don't know, the more terrifying thing may be yet to come.

Lei Li was just silent, he could guess some of Lei Xiao's tone last time.It's just that Lei Taosheng's sudden return was taken care of by someone as big as above. The matter was more serious than he had imagined.

Suddenly, the crazy woman's words resounded in her mind without warning, her fists were clenched slightly subconsciously, the future became like a ferocious beast with a green face and fangs, waiting for an opportunity to tear the world into pieces at any time.

This kind of thing is really not something that can be digested in a short while, after letting them go back to their rooms to calm down, Lei Xiao also went upstairs.Pushing open the door, I saw Si'er sitting on the bed, her hair was still a little wet.

Seeing Si'er lowering his head, Lei Xiao was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Yao Ziqing looked up at the second brother, but there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes, "Why don't you tell the truth, a lie needs a hundred lies to cover up, what should I do in the future, what about the space? I have to let them know, now I hide it from them , When they find out by themselves in the future, what will they think, they will feel that they are not trusted, and their relationship will be affected.”

"When will you be able to completely control the space?"

"Why? What if I can't control it for the rest of my life?"

Lei Xiao's expression was calm, and he didn't think it was a serious problem even if he couldn't control it for the rest of his life, "Then don't talk about it for the rest of your life, and wait until you can collect things freely without touching them."

This Yao Ziqing also tried it, but it didn't work at all. The second brother said this completely to let him not tell the space for the rest of his life. Be careful, we don't need to be so guarded against our family members, second brother, if we hide it like this, how sad will it be for them to find out later?"

He didn't say it before because he thought that the second brother would have a better reason to expose the space, but he never planned to keep talking.But looking at what the second brother meant, it seemed that he wanted to keep it a secret.I don't know how long the disaster will last in the future. Living together, there is no way to hide it.

"They will start a family. At that time, they will no longer be just your third brother and eldest brother. They will also be other people's husbands and fathers, do you understand?"

Yao Ziqing had thought about this point, but he didn't dare to think deeply about it.Just thinking about something like that would make him breathless with sadness.He didn't want to see that change, but he couldn't stop it.He can only gamble once, betting that even if they get married and have a life that is completely their own, they will still be his elder brother and will never betray his elder brother.

Looking at Si'er's expression, Lei Xiao knew what Si'er was thinking, sighed slightly, and stroked his wet hair, "You shouldn't have told me back then."

Yao Ziqing's eyes turned red, "Because you will also have a family, right?"

Lei Xiao looked at him silently, but Yao Ziqing asked, "Then if you get married, have a wife and children, and they are about to starve to death, I have space and food, but only enough for myself, what will you do? "

Lei Xiao's eyes turned cold, "So in your heart, I will hurt you? Si'er, I am your second brother, please remember, I will never do anything to hurt you, no matter what the circumstances are"

Yao Ziqing put all his eggs in one basket, smiled decisively, and asked, "What if I don't want you to be my second brother?"
