It's not just the adults who suffer from the weather these days, but also the children.The adults know that the situation is not good, so they can still have some self-control by tightening their belts.But what do children know? They only know that it is so hot now but there is no air conditioner, and they eat porridge every day without snacks.There are no vegetables that I hated the most before, and there is no meat.

They want to go home, but they have to stay in this place with nothing.Even if you cry, you won't get what you want.The scorching sun during the day prevented them from going out, even if it was too hot to sleep, they still had to be pressed down to sleep.Night is the only time they can let the wind go.

There used to be a few children in the village, all of whom were born and raised, unlike Lei Yi and Lei Gang's children who all came back from the city.This time, Lei Yi and the others bought a lot of things back when it was just getting hot.After all, there have been severe droughts and heavy rains before, and being prepared can always make people feel more at ease.Among them, children buy the most.

The accident was caused by the children's quarrel.

Lei Yi's daughter, Lei Qiu'er, is less than seven years old this year. In the eyes of adults, she is still ignorant and ignorant at this age, but children at this age have their own understanding of the world.Comparing each other is a process that every child will go through. They like to be sought after by their peers and enjoy the satisfaction that I have and you don't.

Most of the rural children would tear a piece of cloth to make them cool clothes to wear at home in summer. Although there were many children in the city like this, they would wear them beautifully when they went out.Lei Qiuer wore her sleeveless knee-length chiffon skirt, which was cool and elegant, like a little princess.

Lei Mengni is more than nine years old, just the age when she loves beauty, so don't be too envious when she sees a beautiful dress.Her grandma Kong Jiaoqian also bought her a lot of beautiful clothes on weekdays, which made her the most beautiful girl in the village.But the comparison between those cheap clothes and Lei Qiuer's is obvious, even a child can tell who looks good and who doesn't.

Lei Qiu'er and the others still have a lot of candies at home, Lei Gang stuffed a few in the two small pockets before going out.Some children in the village liked to play with Lei Qiuer and Lei Kang when they saw how well they were dressed.Lei Mengni, who has always been the center of the crowd, was left out this time, so she was not happy at all.

Later, when she saw that Lei Qiuer was giving sugar to others but not herself, she became even more unhappy.As soon as he got angry, he stepped forward and pushed Lei Qiu'er, knocking the candy off her hand.

Originally, there is not much sugar now, and parents give them a limited amount of food every day, and they are already reluctant to share it with their friends. This wasted in vain and can’t be eaten on the ground. Unwilling to be outdone, Lei Qiu went to push Lei Monnie.

The two little girls pushed and shoved, Lei Kang naturally couldn't see his sister suffer.And he also felt distressed about the candy that fell to the ground.Lei Mengni is two years older than Qiu'er, just a head taller than Qiu'er, she looks very strong.Children have little strength to control, and it has caused disasters.

When children are arguing, adults are actually doing things not far away. It is normal for children to be noisy, and they don't pay much attention, as long as they don't get lost.

When Lei Mengni fell to the ground, the adults didn’t respond. When the child was crying, Lei Liang didn’t feel relieved. It’s normal to cry when being bullied and wronged, but when he saw that his face was scratched, he even started to cry. After several blisters, I felt a little serious now.

After rinsing with water, I applied some red syrup, but in less than half an hour, the blisters on my face not only did not go away, but also became more red and bigger.This was obviously a burn, so he became anxious.

There are some local prescriptions for treating scalds in the village, such as smearing with egg white after soaking in cold water, or using soy sauce, all of which are local prescriptions.Lei Liang panicked when none of these methods worked, and it became more and more serious, and his face was red and swollen with blisters.

After taking the medicine from Lei Li's house and going back, they found that the burn on her daughter's face had become more serious.Now it's all right, Kong Jiaoqian, who always likes to compete in everything, sees her precious granddaughter's beautiful face ruined like this, how can she hold her own, she directly came to make trouble.

Lei Mengni's mother could only cry, seeing her daughter's frightened face, she could only keep crying.Kong Jiaoqian rushed directly to the door to make trouble, scratching and smashing, unequivocally.

Lei Chengji is not a kind person, so it is naturally impossible to sit down and reason. Even Lei Kang, who wanted to catch the pusher a few times, was protected by Lei Yi and the others.

Some of the onlookers tried to persuade them to talk about what they had to do first, since they couldn't explain what was going on so much, so why bother.

"You all shut up with me! It's not your children who hurt you, you don't have back pain when you stand and talk! Who the hell talks too much today, believe it or not, I chopped him up!"

Seeing Lei Chengji's fierce expression, some people fell silent.It's true that things didn't happen to my family members, and it didn't hurt my back to stand and talk.It's not that they are cool, it's that their feelings are not deep enough for that.It's okay to watch the excitement, but it won't be worthwhile if it gets involved.

The village head sat silently watching a group of people rioting in the house. This matter involved his great-grandson. Even if he was the village head, he couldn't stand up and speak out at this time.

Lei Yuanming saw that they were arguing endlessly, so he picked up an empty wine bottle and threw it on the ground: "Shut the fuck up!"

The roar overwhelmed the noise, and there was a moment of silence in the room.

Lei Yuanming looked at the unreasonable and rambunctious couple, and looked at the messy scene, and said in a rather unfriendly tone: "Even if you smashed everything in our house, it won't help! Just say it, what do you want?" ?!"

"What do we want? We want to restore Nini's face!"

Lei Yi sneered: "One thousand catties of rice is considered compensation, if you don't want it, just get lost!"

This incident was originally a fight between children. If it weren't for the serious injury, it would not have escalated into a conflict between adults.And if you really want to count, they were not at the scene at the time, and Lei Liang was still beside the child.If the child in his own family is not taken care of well, his responsibility is even greater!

As soon as the words fell, Lei Chengji quit first: "A thousand catties of rice? That's Nini's life!"

"So what! Lei Liang was still there when the accident happened! Who is to blame if he can't take care of himself! A thousand catties is still in humanitarianism! I'm leaving here today. Do you want a thousand catties of rice love? , The worst is to smash this house! If you dare to smash, I dare to set fire to your home! Anyway, this world has become such a mess, no one can control anyone!"

Hearing this, Kong Jiaoqian also ignored it.Lei Mengni is her only granddaughter, and now half of her face can be said to have been destroyed.It never occurred to me that it was just scratching the skin a little, but it was so serious that it was scalded.

Because the palms were soaked in the water in time, although the blisters looked serious, they were much lighter than those on the face.In the past, it was possible to spend some money for treatment, and if it was not possible, skin grafting was possible. These are all things that money can solve.Today's world is really so ruined.

Thinking of this, Kong Jiaoqian became even more angry and smashed everything in sight.He even rushed to the kitchen to find a knife and came out, yelling that her Mengni was ruined all her life, so let Lei Kang pay for it with his life!

Hearing the sharp shouts, Lei Li Lei Lang who came from the room saw the chaotic scene.Seeing the chaos in the room, a few men grabbed Kong Jiaoqian who was in a frenzy, and her footsteps stopped for a moment.Lei Lang saw with sharp eyes that Uncle Gao Ming was there, pulled his eldest brother, and walked in that direction.

Lei Gaoming saw the two of them approaching, and pulled them to his side: "Is it because of the noise? You should stay away, just watch this kind of thing lively, don't get involved in it"

How could they get involved in this kind of thing? It has nothing to do with them in the first place, and they are not meddlesome people.It's just that it's so loud, come out to see the situation.

Only after asking Uncle Gao Ming did he know the cause and effect of the incident.Looking at the farce in front of him, Lei Lang's sympathy was completely gone.I didn't have a good impression of their family at first, but now I'm even more bored.

"Big Brother, I'm going to find Second Brother and the others"

Thinking that there is still a person brought back who has not been dealt with, and I don't know how the second brother and the others plan to interrogate him.He has not seen the so-called torture with his own eyes, so he is more interested in things over there.

The car was parked in the yard of Fang Jinlei's house, with an awning on it to prevent it from being exposed to the sun outside.According to Lei Xiao's intention, he was directly tied up in the room, and he didn't do much to his wound. After gagging, Fang Jinlei went to do his own thing.Five hundred chickens will be traded three days later, all of which must be prepared in advance.

Fang Jinlei was also woken up by the noise in the village, but as long as the noise didn't come to his door, he wasn't interested in asking about it.I made a finger pancake on the kang, and then I ate it with cold boiled water and a little beef sauce.

The weather is hot, and basic food can't be stored for long. Sauces and the like can be stored for a few days, but they are not durable.Basically, as long as he goes to Si'er's house, he will bring back a little, not much, probably enough for a few meals.

Originally thought Lei Xiao and the others would be the first to come, but Ma Chen did not expect to come.Pointing to the room where He Wu was locked, he went to clean the chicken coop.I heard that the water level of the reservoir has dropped to a new low. Both Fanjia Village and Lijia Village can no longer bear it. They are planning to rebuild a reservoir.

Chickens really can't be raised any more. The food is fine for the time being. If the chicken coop is not cleaned and the sanitation is not done well, it is easy to get sick.In order to prevent more losses, it is better to dispose of it as soon as possible.

Seeing that the door of Fang Jinlei's house was open, Yao Ziqing probably got up and yelled inside.

Fang Jinlei grinned, pointed to a closed room and said, "Ma Chen, it's, it's inside."

"It's so early, have you eaten? I left some Liangpi for you, and I'll eat it later."

"eat, eat"

Yao Ziqing chatted with Fang Jinlei, and Lei Xiao entered that room.Soon he and Ma Chen dragged that He Wu out.Probably in pain, hot, thirsty and hungry, and with some blood loss, it looks like he is dying.

Lei Xiao glanced at Si'er and said to him: "Stay here and don't run around, I'll be back soon"

Yao Ziqing knew that the second brother was going to deal with people, so he waved to them and sat on the steps to watch Fang Jinlei busy.If it weren't for the fact that there were too many secrets, he really hoped that Fang Jinlei would live with them in the past.After all, living alone on the edge of the woods is indeed a bit out of the way.Although the whole village is surrounded now, it is relatively easy to feel insecure living alone.

Suddenly thinking of the things he prepared a few days ago, Yao Ziqing pretended to take out something from his pants pocket and handed it to Fang Jinlei: "Jinlei, here you are"

Fang Jinlei put down the broom and walked over, took a look, there was no round box the size of a palm, it seemed to contain some kind of ointment, he was a little confused: "What, what?"

Yao Ziqing smiled slyly: "Of course it's a good thing! Anyway, you put a little on the scar every day before going to bed. I adjusted it myself. You must use it. I want to see if it works."

Fang Jinlei snorted, and put away the things in a good-tempered manner.In fact, he doesn't care about the scars on his face anymore, he has gotten used to it for so many years, as long as his friends around him don't mind.But since Si'er said he made it himself, let him be a test product.

After Fang Jinlei cleaned the whole chicken coop, took a shower and changed his clothes, Ma Chen and his second brother came back.But there are only the two of them, not He Wu.

"Second brother, did you ask?"

Lei Xiao nodded: "Go back, let's get things"

Yao Ziqing saw that his second brother didn't want him to go, and he didn't insist. After watching them drive away, he walked back slowly.

In the dark path, the sound of insects is constantly heard in the grass.A faint flame could still be seen in the distance, and Yao Ziqing knew it was a drying yard.Now the drying yard has become a gathering place for villagers, and whenever there is a major event that requires the whole village to make a decision, they will gather there.

Yao Ziqing thought it might be that Lei Liang came to borrow medicine at that time, after thinking about it, he still didn't go there, but went home directly.Ever since more and more migrant workers came back, the village has never been peaceful.Whether it's a dispute over a few vegetables, or a few drops of water, in short, it's a trivial matter that they didn't pay attention to before.

When I got home, there were a few pots of batteries on the coffee table in the living room to turn on the landscape lights, which were not too dazzling, but the illumination was still good.Xiao Wu was sitting on the coffee table and looking at him with his tail flicking. Yao Ziqing walked over and patted its head: "Where's grandma?"

"Woo..." Xiao Wu glanced upstairs, Yao Ziqing understood, or understood, grandma was upstairs.

Yao Ziqing raised his foot and walked upstairs, Xiao Wu became more and more intelligent.But Xiaowu's cleverness is enough for a few members of his family to know about it, there is no need to be too conspicuous.

into the room.The temperature is about five or six degrees lower. Although it is still extremely hot, it is still more comfortable than outside.

"Grandma, why didn't you go out for a walk?"

"I'm grinding soybean milk for you"

Grandma was grinding the soaked soybeans with a small mill. From time to time, she scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it into the hole of the stone mill, and then some soy milk dripped down the opening of the stone trough. There is a small half bucket of noodles, and it must have been ground for a while.

Yao Ziqing leaned over: "Grandma, let me come and play"

The grandma gave way to the grandson with a smile, knowing that he didn't want to play, but was worried that he would be tired. : "Okay, you grind it, how do you want to eat the leftover bean dregs? Is it bean dregs cake or bean dregs steamed bun? You can also make bean dregs balls"

Yao Ziqing licked his lips, and said with a smile on his face, "The bean dregs cake should be spicy, and the meat should be stuffed inside!"

"Okay, I'll make you bean dregs cakes with meat!"

Xiao Wu flicked his ears, and stuck out his tongue to lick it around.Hearing the word "meat", it's delicious again.

The mother and grandson here are happy and happy, discussing what to cook.The mill was stirring the rustling sound of soybeans, and the moonlight outside the house was pouring in. The tables, chairs and cabinets in the house were messy with all kinds of lighting lamps that can be used with batteries. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful, leisurely and happy.

However, the battle on the drying ground was about to break out, and Lei Li didn't see the end. Anyway, no matter how much trouble there was, it was just a matter of compensation.There is nothing in this world that cannot be evaluated, it is just a question of how much.

When Lei Li was walking home with a flashlight, he heard someone calling him from a distance.Taking a photo with a flashlight, the faint outline looks a bit like Lu Xueyi.After a few breaths, the people at the other end quickly ran over. It turned out that it was really Lei Taosheng and the others who had returned to the village.

Lu Xueyi happily patted Lei Li on the shoulder: "What a coincidence! The first person I met in the village was you, and this time I came back to meet you first! Where are you going so late? Where is Ziqing? You all Okay? How is the situation in the village? Let me tell you, our journey back this time has been wonderful! It was so thrilling that we almost couldn’t come back! No, there are too many things, I have to find time to slowly Let me tell you, it's like making a movie, it's so exciting!"

Seeing Lei Taosheng and his wife approaching, Lei Li greeted them.Lei Taosheng's eyes turned red when Uncle Tao Sheng shouted, and he said with emotion, "I'm back, I'm finally back. I've come all this way, and I thought I'd never come back again!"

Lei Li couldn't help frowning. They went to the town yesterday, and the situation was fine. It shouldn't be that scary: "Uncle Tao Sheng, is the situation outside that bad? We went to the town yesterday, and even There is a market, but only materials can be exchanged, and coins are no longer in circulation.”

Lei Taosheng shook his head and let out a long sigh, as if he still had lingering fears thinking about those things: "The city is so messed up, why is this village surrounded? It took me a long time to find the entrance!"

Seeing them all exhausted and dusty, Lei Li didn't ask any more questions: "Since you're back, you should rest well first, and then make plans for the future after you rest. It was only a few days before they were surrounded. The gang was robbed, so the village made preparations for safety, so that you can sleep more comfortably, right?"

Lei Taosheng was surprised, but he also knew that this could not be explained clearly in a few words, so he nodded and stopped dwelling on the topic, and asked instead: "Is my father-in-law and the others all right in the village? After the communication is cut off, I can't contact them, and I don't know their situation, so I guess they are very worried if they don't hear from us!"

"It's very good. A few days ago, the village built a wall, and Mr. Lu helped a lot. Go back quickly. They must be very happy to see you back!"

Lu Xueyi is also very tired, and now he just wants to take a good bath and lie down.He waved to Lei Li and said, "I'll go to find Ziqing tomorrow, and I'll tell you about the things on the way, so I'll go back first."

When Lei Li returned home, Yao Ziqing had just changed to a new bucket, because he decided to keep the bean dregs, so he ground them very slowly and carefully, otherwise the bean dregs would not be fine enough and taste rough.Seeing that the eldest brother came back, he quickly asked: "Is there anything wrong? Where is the third brother? Why didn't you come back with you?"

"Your third brother said he was looking for you guys, haven't you met? Where's your second brother?"

"No, I have been back for a long time, and I have ground a bucket of soy milk. I haven't seen the third brother come back. The second brother and Ma Chen went to the town. They probably asked He Wuzang where his things are. They also left It’s been a long time, I don’t know if I got into the car when I met it on the road, anyway, I didn’t meet it when I came back.”

"That's probably true. I met Lu Xueyi when I just came back. They just came back, and they looked pretty bad. They said they were dangerous on the road. I saw that they were all exhausted, so I didn't ask much. Xueyi Said to come to you tomorrow"

Yao Ziqing was a little surprised and said: "I haven't seen them come back, and I'm worried that something happened, just come back!"

As for the so-called dangers on the road, Yao Ziqing knew it without asking.Now this is just the beginning, and no one knows how terrible the world has become like him.

Grandma was also feeling emotional: "It's good to be back, I was still talking about it two days ago, why didn't I come back, these old Lus can finally rest assured!"

Yao Ziqing found a piece of fine gauze, put the bean dregs on the gauze, and squeezed out the bean juice vigorously.Put the drained bean dregs in a small iron basin not much bigger than the soup bowl, almost full of bean dregs.

Yao Ziqing looked at the fruits of his labor, smiled at his eldest brother and said, "Grandma said that tomorrow I will make bean dregs cakes, and I grind them very carefully. Look, there are so many!"

Lei Li cleaned up the place for him, there was a lot of bean dregs and syrup spilled on the ground, if they were not cleaned up, these things would attract ants.No matter how clean the house is, some things are unavoidable due to the environment.Fortunately, ants were rarely seen on the second floor, otherwise Yao Ziqing would not have slept on the water bed on the ground.

After seeing grandma go to take a bath, Yao Ziqing directly put all the things into the space.Otherwise, if it is left without refrigeration, it will go rancid in minutes.Originally, things like soy milk were not resistant to storage.

"Brother, what's wrong with that girl Lei Mengni?"

Lei Li shook his head, and after dealing with the situation, he sat down and asked Yao Ziqing for a popsicle, fanning the wind while saying, "I haven't seen it, it's probably quite serious, otherwise that kid Lei Gang wouldn't have opened his mouth and just kept talking." Compensation for a thousand catties of rice"

"One thousand catties? That's a lot! I'm afraid it's really serious." Fang Jinlei's chicken is only a hundred catties of rice. The problem is that there are not many poultry in this temperature, so he can sell so much.

If it was just a minor injury, it would not be possible to have so many. Nowadays, food and gold are expensive, but they are all life-saving things, which are much more important than the money used to be.

Lei Li ate the last bit of a popsicle, and put it on Xiao Wu's dog's plate.They don't know when they started to feed Xiao Wu directly in the palm of his hand, or put it in a special food bowl, and never throw it on the ground.Maybe it's just because of his habit, Xiao Wu never eats anything on the ground, even if it's their bones that are still on the ground, he doesn't even smell it.

Lei Li also tried to let Lei Zheng try to feed it food.As a result, it simply ignored it, and it seemed that no one else would eat it except for the family members who fed it.This habit is very good, to avoid someone poisoning it in the future.You must know that there are no wild dogs now, and they must have been beaten and eaten by hungry people.

Hearing the sound of a car approaching, Yao Ziqing hurried downstairs and shouted to his elder brother: "Second brother must be back, elder brother must help move things!"
