The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

After seeing off Mu Bai and the others, Lei Zheng looked at Lei Xiao who wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, hesitant to speak.Lu Xueyi stared at him in a crooked manner, and asked bluntly:

"Brother Lei Xiao, how do we divide the plastic film? Do we use grain or other things? If it is grain, can we give some of it first, and then give the rest after the harvest in the field, otherwise I am worried. There is not enough food at home for the winter.”

This is also what Lei Zheng is worried about. His family has replaced a sheep, and they really can't get enough food to exchange for three acres of plastic film. Even if there are still a lot of other supplies left, it will be very difficult without food.If this winter is too cold and the harvest is not good, it is very likely that it will be really difficult to survive.

Fang Jinlei and Ma Chen sat next to each other without saying a word or expression.Apart from Yao Ziqing, Fang Jinlei probably had the most food in this village, so he wasn't worried at all.

Ma Chen completely trusted his team leader. He knew exactly how many team leaders he had, and he definitely wouldn't say a number he couldn't come up with.Maybe it would be more possible for him to sell himself to their family as a laborer for many years.

Suddenly thinking of his sister who was still upstairs, Ma Chen suddenly felt a little awkward.If the captain said it was a bride price, should he agree tactfully or directly?

Yao Ziqing smiled and said, "Three hundred catties of grain and one mu of land can be paid in installments!"

"Three hundred?" Lu Xueyi and Lei Zheng shouted in unison in surprise.

This is less than half, even if it is exchanged with cigarettes, but the cigarettes are now a very expensive material.

Lu Xueyi was a little tangled: "Ziqing, three hundred is too little, right? In this way, your family will lose too much, even if you are a friend, you can't take advantage of it like this! Since you can install it in installments, then follow the price that Mu Bai said, that is It may take several installments.”

Thinking of the days of heavy debts in the future, Lu Xueyi's whole spirit was sluggish!

Lei Lang and Lei Li didn't say anything, since Si'er said so, it must have been discussed with Lei Xiao before.And everyone's relationship is quite good, and Lei Zheng is still a relative, so it's normal to help.But after listening to Lu Xueyi's words, I still feel comfortable in my heart.

"Okay, it's not really in exchange for real food. Three hundred catties is not too little. If you think we are losing money, you can just help my family do more work in the future. You should go back and talk to me first." Discuss with your family whether you can exchange it with grain or other things. Your family has only started farming this year. Even if you have prepared a lot of grain before, it is estimated that there will not be much now. It will only start in October. It’s cold, this winter will definitely not be short”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, my family still has a lot of mulch film. In the past two years, the climate has changed greatly, and my family has already prepared some, but the better ones are not cheap. At that time, every family in the village had There are more than ten acres of land, and there has never been such a thing as mulch here, so few companies are willing to buy so much. It would be too eye-catching if only my family got a mulch. I will give some when Mubai’s mulch is delivered. In the village, if you have the conditions, you can exchange them, and if you don’t have the conditions, you can’t blame anyone, so you won’t be jealous of too many people.”

The words have already been said for this sake, and it would be a bit hypocritical to be entangled any more, and Lu Xueyi no longer insisted.I really have sharp eyes, and the friends I make are so loyal!

"Okay then, I'll go back and talk to my family first, and then I'll make a list of what I have, and see what you want, then I'll go first!"

After Lu Xueyi left, Lei Zheng said: "You really bought it at that time? I should have known that I shouldn't listen to my dad, just buy it with you!"

Lei Li had asked them before if they wanted to make a mulch together, but at that time his family had about ten acres of land, and it was really difficult for them to spend that much money.Later, seeing that the weather was normal, I didn't take this matter to heart.

Lei Lang cast a contemptuous glance at him: "Hmph, let me tell you not to listen to my brother. My brother is a professional, so he must have foresight! If the villagers could grit their teeth and pay for it at that time, why would it be so difficult now? What!"

Now he is the biggest landlord, how can Lei Zheng argue with him and sing a different tune, and quickly echoed with a smile: "Yes, it is all brothers who are short-sighted and failed to understand the organization's long-term development requirements in time. Come on, Brother Lang, I Squeeze your shoulders, and promise to follow the organization's steps unswervingly in the future! Let's move towards a well-off life together! Never let the organization hold you back!"

"Go to the side, what are you playing poor!"

Yao Ziqing smiled and watched the two of them quarreling, and said to Fang Jinlei: "You don't have to give it away, the chickens you took away before are considered food exchanges, and Lei Zheng, I guess your family doesn't have much food in stock, you still keep it." Eat it yourself, the money from the mulch has been paid off with goat milk, so I will be responsible for our family’s goat milk for three years, how about it, brother?"

Lei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he agreed without much hesitation: "This is no problem! Let alone three years, it will be no problem for a lifetime!"

He is his own brother, so what is it to drink some goat milk, anyway, he doesn't care about this bowl because he has so much every day.It's obvious that the brothers are taking care of their family, so it's boring to push around after getting so familiar with each other.

Lu Xueyi went home and told the story to the people in the room. Lei Taosheng patted his son on the shoulder and said, "My son is not bad, and the friends he makes are all good. Let me just say that the boys from Lei's family are not bad, right?" I can see it since I was young, my eyesight is really good!"

"It's good because I have a good vision! Now they are my friends, and the relationship is much closer than you and them!"

"Hey, my eyes must be good! Otherwise, how would I find out that your mother gave birth to you?"

Lu Ying pinched the soft flesh around Lei Taosheng's waist, Lei Taosheng screamed in pain, Lao Lu watched them making trouble, and laughed from ear to ear.How grown up, still like a child.

Within two days, the mulch was delivered efficiently. Two trucks drove into the village and stopped at the forest to unload. Many villagers came to watch the excitement.

"Hey~ Two cars, I don't know what to buy, there are not many people who can still drive a car now!"

"In such a hot day, many cars have been sunburned and scrapped. Even if there is a car, there is no gas. Look at Lei Xiao's house. It was not cheap when they bought it. No, it has not been a few years, and it will be useless." He also showed a pity and distressed expression.

Even if the money is useless now, but after decades of directional thinking, so much money is so useless, even if it is not from my own family, it is enough to tremble.

"Hey, let's talk about the car. How many people in the city have worked hard all their lives for the house, and the result? Now the city is empty, and the hard-earned money of a lifetime is not in vain in the end?!"

Yao Ziqing lay on the balcony on the top floor and watched the trucks unloading. The villagers stood around and watched from a distance, and they didn't dare to come over.Some of the people who have a good relationship have already said hello before, and they also know what is delivered today. When they saw the car coming, they hurried over to help.

Yao Ziqing thought about it, and then found a small bag that could hold about the size of a catty of melon seeds. He grabbed some melon seed candies, a few handfuls of fried peanuts, and a few pieces of homemade beef jerky. .

The car was followed by Nan Tian and two drivers, a total of three people, Mu Bai did not come today.The three small bags were handed over to them after they unloaded the goods: "Thank you, I ran all the way here, take it back and eat, it's all made by myself."

The two drivers were quite young, in their thirties, and they were stunned when they saw Yao Ziqing. They were all unkempt and haggard now, so it was a bit surprising to see a different one suddenly.

But soon their eyes were attracted by what he was holding.But no matter how tempting those things were, they still took a look at Nan Tian.After seeing Nan Tian took it with a smile, the two of them were even more excited, and thanked them again and again with smiles all over their faces.

This trip was really not in vain. When Nan Tian asked them to take this trip today, he said it was a fat job. It was true.Although they live better than many people, at least they can fill their stomachs.But the daily steamed buns and noodles occasionally add some sauce to make a stew. Adults know that life is hard and can be content, but what do children know.

They have a son who is only two years old and a daughter who is only five years old.The two-year-old was even worse. He hadn't had a good day since he was born.Those dazzling snacks and all kinds of toys have never been seen before.

As a parent, who doesn't want to let their children enjoy all the good things they haven't enjoyed, but today's world is too difficult.The two put the two small bags on the inner layer of their clothes and touched them from time to time.Thinking of the happy smiles of the children at home when they saw Tang, the tip of their noses couldn't help sore.

Seeing the two people carefully packing their things, Nan Tian felt uncomfortable: "It's not easy for anyone these days!"

Yao Ziqing smiled: "It's not easy, but we have to live on."

"Bai Ge is still in the city, this time I went with Bai Ge." Thinking of what he saw, Nan Tian was full of indignation: "Damn it! Are some people born to be superior? Those second generations from the past , our birth is not as good as being unbalanced, but now, some people starve to death while others live in extravagance, they are simply inferior to beasts!"

Yao Ziqing frowned slightly, his eyes worried: "What's wrong? The situation in the city is very serious?"

"A group of women were ridden on them naked. Those perverts rode like horses with whips, and some directly burned them with cigarette butts. They were sent away with some food when they were tortured. Good cigarettes and good wine, eating fruit and meat, just like a local emperor!"

"You haven't seen that kind of scene. One side of a room is smelly of wine and meat, and the other side is frozen to death. This is the injustice of power and status! Some people give up their dignity and crawl on the ground like a dog for that morsel of food. What do you say? Did it become like this?"

Yao Ziqing smiled helplessly, how could he have never seen that kind of scene before, if he didn't make himself dirty all day long in his previous life, he might not be able to escape that fate.Sometimes it's not what you think, dignity?backbone?There are many ways to make people want to die in this world.

"Are you talking about local forces? What about the army? Is the situation on the government side better?"

"I don't know, it's not that easy to get online over there. As long as those local forces have interests, they will not refuse. However, we have gone around the refuge base. Isn't most of the city's urban areas empty? Some time ago There is a designated area, and people in the refuge base can go out to the designated area every day to search for supplies, but half of them must be handed over to the base. Of course, you can also choose to stay outside and not return to the base, but in that area you If you can’t get in, there are soldiers guarding it! Other places are full of danger.”

As Nan Tian spoke, he glanced at Yao Ziqing, and saw that his face was pale and rosy and his eyes were clear. It was obvious that he had a good life in this village. After thinking about it, it is better not to mention those more terrible things.

Seeing his expression, Yao Ziqing continued his words: "There are many refugees who cannot enter the base in places that have not been cleared out, as well as those terrible local forces. At that time, we will not only face hunger, but also death. Trafficking Humans, two-legged sheep, change their offspring to eat, right?"

Nan Tian was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him with some surprise, seeing him say these words with a calm expression, a little strangeness appeared in his heart.But soon Nan Tian was relieved. Even if he didn't go to the city to see it, he should be able to guess something with his intelligence.

Although I don't have much contact with Yao Ziqing, every time I see him, I always stand quietly beside Lei Xiao, never talking too much.But he always feels that this person understands and understands better than anyone else, and has a feeling that everything is as he expected.

Lei Lang came over to interrupt their conversation: "The count is almost done, thank you for your hard work this trip."

There was a heartless smile on Nan Tian's face, as if he wasn't the one who suffered and hated him just now: "What's the hard work, we didn't make less money this trip, then you are busy, and you can come to the town to find me if you have anything to do in the future." We, now Brother Bai has hooked up with the group of people in the city, it will be more convenient for us to need anything in the future."

After Nan Tian left, Lei Li checked the goods carefully, and shook his head at Lei Xiao: "This kind is much worse than ours, and the heat preservation effect is average, so it is the most common kind, but it should be okay to get these now." not easy"

The situation abroad is unknown now, but it is estimated that it will not be much better than their domestic situation.Food harvests are poor or even non-existent, and the whole country is almost in a state of starvation.Even if the country has a stockpile of grain, it is impossible to open up the distribution of granaries.Developing land for planting is the only way out now.

However, the climate is harsh, and scientific and technological means cannot be used to increase the yield per mu, which is completely equivalent to returning to primitive society.It is conceivable how difficult it is to get all the things used in agriculture now. Under such circumstances, the gang of wild forces can still grab food from the army, which can be seen.

Lei Xiao didn't react much after hearing this, as long as those people don't come to provoke them.Looking at the mess on the ground, he said to Lei Lang, "Go and call the village chief, and tell him that the mulch has arrived."

"Okay~"

Lei Rongshi did not show up, and directly handed over the matter to his son Lei Yuanming.Hearing the sound of iron knocking, the villagers gathered at the drying yard one after another.There was a lot of discussion below, all talking about the two cars entering the village today.

After Lei Yuanming briefly explained the matter, he repeated again: "There is a total of ten acres of land, and one acre of three hundred catties of grain is exchanged. If you are interested, come to me to register as soon as possible. First come, first served. Lei Xiao and the others managed to get this batch of things, you can imagine how rare these things are these days, you should cherish the rare opportunities and thank them!"

Lei Zheng poked Si'er: "Is our share in it?"

Yao Ziqing shook his head, "No, these were obtained by Mubai and the others. My elder brother said that they are the most common ones. The ones I bought are better, so share the ones I bought."

Lu Xueyi gave Yao Ziqing a thumbs up. It was so interesting. When his family's food was grown, he must invite them to eat the big white rice that was the result of his labor!

"Three hundred catties is not a lot. Food is so expensive now, especially white rice. When I went to town last time, I saw someone exchange ten catties of white rice for a big bag of sweet potatoes. At least forty or fifty It weighs a lot!"

"I saw two cars delivered today. Cars, where can I get gasoline now, and [-]% of the cost is in it! You say, why don't we go to the town together, don't let them deliver it, and drag it back by ourselves. Could be cheaper!"

"The question is where to get it? If there are a lot of them, they might be sold out. Those people are likely to make up for Lei Xiao's face. If we go, we may not be able to buy them!"

"Yes, yes, don't forget, there is a group of city people who are eyeing us on the opposite side!"

"What about the people in the city? They used to be richer than us, but now the money is useless! They don't have as much food as us! If you want mulch, what can you get in exchange?"

Yao Ziqing sat not far away, although their whispers were not loud, he could still hear them clearly.Some people who are afraid of losing money are often the ones who suffer the most in the end.On the contrary, those who do not care about gains and losses in everything are really smart people.In other words, those who are broad-minded have their own good luck.

Lei Yuanming took out a notebook and gestured to everyone: "Is there anyone who wants to register with me now?"

Lei Gaoming was the first to stand up, and Lei Li had already greeted him before, so he had already made up his mind.He wanted two acres, but the family didn't have much food in stock. If this winter was too cold and too long, he would be very sad.So after discussion at home, we decided to give it a try with an acre of land.

After registering Lei Gaoming's, Lei Yuanming looked at the crowd again, and saw that they were still hesitating, so he said, "Since you are still hesitating, then I will register my family first, and my family will exchange two acres. There are seven acres left, as I said, first come, first served, who else wants it?"

Someone couldn't help but say: "This three hundred was really not much in the past, but this year we really didn't have a pound of harvest, and all the ten acres of land died, so let's not talk about the money lost. It’s true that there aren’t many left, and it’s only October, and it’s estimated that the temperature will start to snow soon, so if you’re frozen to death by the snow before the harvest, you’re really desperate!”

Lei Yuanming looked at him calmly with no expression on his face: "Then what do you mean?"

The man grinned with embarrassment and laughed: "That's right, we're not from the same village. Everyone is more or less related. Since everything has been exchanged, why don't you use it for us first? Wait a minute." When the harvest is over, make up for the replacement grain?"

As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes lit up, and they immediately felt that this method couldn't be better!Many people echoed, especially the most outsiders.Those who defected to their relatives came to defect to their relatives because they couldn't survive, and their family assets were naturally pitifully small.

If it can be used first, the owed grain will be repaid after the harvest.If the mulch is still useless, then the sky is going to kill them, people are going to starve to death, there is still food to return, at worst, take this life.

Lei Yuanming sneered: "Lei Xingping, in terms of seniority, you are still Lei Li's uncle. How can you have the face to say that? People and children have spent a lot of effort for our village, and we don't know how to get these things back." How much it cost! Don’t think that I don’t know the little things in your heart! I’ll say it again, it’s out of love in this world that you’re willing to help, and who can pick a fault? Everyone doesn’t know what’s good and what’s wrong. Yes! You just do it! Let the hearts of the few of them be completely chilled, how can they not live a good life with their abilities! Leaving Leijia Village to see whether they live better or you can live longer!"

Lei Yuanming has a leader's temperament in him, which is also infused by his habit of giving orders all the year round.When he stared and said harsh words, many people subconsciously fell silent.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.Four young and strong men in their family are more than enough to support an old man, and they can live well anywhere.But if there are no them in the village, if the situation gets worse in the future, how long can the village be peaceful?

Rather than talking about the four of them, it might actually be Lei Xiao alone.Apart from his less indifferent expression, Lei Xiao's sense of presence in the village is very low.He seldom moves around the village, either staying in the house or walking his dog in the woods, and rarely interacts with people.

But such a person is a special existence, so special, it seems that with him in the village, this place can always be safe and peaceful.

Being called by Lei Yuanming's name, Lei Xingping couldn't hold back his face, and he blushed and argued: "What do you mean! Isn't this life difficult for everyone now! I don't Say no to it! That is, now that the things have been exchanged, we will use them first, and when the harvest is over, we will naturally return them! They are all from the same village, can they still run away?!"

Lei Zheng sneered, especially disdainful: "Sure enough, they are all top quality!"

Ma Xin came back to the village later, and rarely had contact with the villagers. At most, he just accompanied his youngest grandmother to let the sun go out in the sun, but he only got acquainted with a few aunts a little bit.Hearing his words, he was puzzled.

Seeing Ma Xin's bewildered look, Lei Lang pushed his elder brother: "Ma Chen and the others probably don't know about his relationship with our family, let me explain it to you."

Lei Li didn't think much and subconsciously explained: "The Lei Xingping who spoke just now is the son of the second uncle, the father of Lei Yi and Lei Jian. The second uncle and our grandfather are brothers, so the relationship is considered close. It's just that I don't have a good relationship with them, and I seldom interact with them, and it's usually just a superficial effort."

Ma Xin seemed to have suddenly realized that the countryside is really complicated, and relatives can be involved at every turn.

Ma Chen: "..." He has lived in this village for more than two years. If this matter is not clear, their captain will remake him.Love is generous love, why hide it!He has already seen through everything!
