Doomsday foresight

"Jinxi, do you know that when I heard that my brother killed that scumbag, he told me that he threw that scumbag in the snow and drained his blood, my heart was relieved, but unfortunately my legs still No, otherwise I wish I could kill him with my own hands." Zhang Cheng had a stimulating and excited emotion on his face, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Jin Xi with some anxiety, and asked him carefully, "Do you feel that Am I a cruel person?" Although he felt that Jinxi would not want him as a friend, he didn't want to hide his temperament.

Jin Xi shook his head, "No." After speaking, he smiled, "That's what he deserved." In fact, he has seen darker things in his dreams. The previous order can no longer guarantee people's safety, and he can only rely on himself .

Zhang Cheng had a relieved expression on his face when he heard this, but he soon felt a little sad, "Maybe we will all have to take up a knife to protect ourselves in the future." The reason why his brother made things so clear is to let him understand What has become of the world now.

Thinking of the scene in the dream, Jin Xi's eyes became firmer, "If someone hurts my family one day, I will take up the knife and resist, and I will not let anyone kill me."

On this day, the worldview of the two young people has undergone great changes.

Their vengeance went smoothly, even a little bit of God's will, without any waves at all, but what they didn't know was that the winter melon was dead, but his two men didn't know it. Both of them were very unlucky, they touched the door, their hands were stained with the snake venom prepared by Zhang Zhong, and they ate it into their mouths while smoking, and they were both poisoned to death. These two people also did a lot of bad things, so they died like this. It can also be regarded as karma.

Because of the disappearance of the winter melon, another place where he hid things was accidentally exposed by his woman, causing some small groups to scramble, and finally formed a gang fight. At this time, the road to the provincial capital was opened. The army entered and wiped out these people. In troubled times, heavy codes were used, and these people finally got the results they deserved.

Such a result was unexpected by Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan.

Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan went two more times to bring back those supplies. After that, it began to snow. This time the snow was heavier than the previous ones. The flakes were the size of a ping-pong ball and could not be seen from two meters away. to something.

When Xuexue was still young, Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan brought a cart full of things to Jinxi’s house. The square tube was nearly two meters long and contained a bulging canvas bag. I don’t know what happened to it, so I got four of them.

"Brother Zhang, there are too many of these things. I can't sell my 1 yuan, and we can't take it." Jinxi looked at the things they brought over, and really couldn't take it.

"Take it, we brought back a lot this time, and we don't need it. The things haven't been packed yet. When we pack them up, you can go over and see what's missing. Put it away. I still have something to ask grandma and auntie." After getting in touch with him a lot, Zhang Zhong is not as defensive as he was at the beginning. He has a very gentle personality. Of course, Zheng Yuan still has a cold face and rarely talks.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, what else can you ask for?" The second aunt said with a smile, a little embarrassed on her face, thinking that she is still a doctor of medicine, so what can I ask her for.

"Yes, Xiao Zhang, you're welcome too, just say what you want."

"Isn't it cold? We want grandma and aunt to help us make a thin cotton-padded jacket, which can be worn indoors and worn inside when going out." Zhang Zhong said, taking out another large bag of soft cotton jacket from the back seat of the car. The cysts may be cotton or something used to make clothes.Zhang Zhong and the others have sweaters and woolen sweaters to keep warm, but they are really not as comfortable as the padded jackets they made themselves, and they can’t wear big padded jackets every time they go out, if they wear sweaters or something It's through.Seeing that the weather was going to be minus [-] degrees, they couldn't stand it even if they were in good health, and the thin padded jackets that were close-fitting could still be worn under the down jackets.

"Oh, what did I think? Middle, I'll measure it for you later." The second aunt immediately went to the east room to get a ruler to measure the size.

"That would be troublesome."

When Zhang Zhong and the others left, the second aunt looked at the things they brought, "Oh, where did they get them. But there are quite a few." Then she stood up a big bag and opened the rope tied on it.

A canvas bag that is as tall as a person is square. When I opened it, it turned out to be fabric. Put the top and folded fabric on the kang. The rolled ones were 40 meters wide and were used to make quilt covers and bed sheets. Yes, soft and thick to the touch, this one is blue-green with twine flowers on it, Jinxi remembers buying bed sheets the year before last, and saw similar material from a cloth place.The price is very expensive, like more than [-] per meter. Jinxi thought the fabric was good, soft and warm at that time, but the price was too expensive, so I didn't buy it.

"It's really a good thing." Grandma touched it with her hand. "Look, it's a bundle that hasn't been cut yet."

Jinxi looked along grandma's hand, and sure enough, there were printed words on both ends.

Yingzi's sister-in-law opened the other one, and there was also a neat cloth inside. It was the kind of fine cotton fabric used for long johns. The cotton was elastic and soft.Yingzi touched and touched it happily. Last year, when he made a padded jacket for Huzi, he wanted to buy some for lining, but the material is not expensive, but it is a bit wasteful to wear it for children. Children change the padded jacket every year. The old long johns were dismantled and ruined. Looking at it now, this one is 30 meters long, so there is nothing to be reluctant about.

A few people opened the two bags of fabrics, each bag of four pieces, one piece, two pieces of the same material, except the above two, there is also a 1.6-meter wide twill fabric with cartoon patterns on it, and thick densely woven cotton linen , the styles are old light brown with large flowers and dark brown with dark gold patterns.

I have never seen so many cloths. The women in the family like it very much, and they are discussing what to do.

Jin Yang opened one of the remaining two bags. Here are kitchen supplies, pots, pans, cooking pots, stew pots, pressure cookers, large pots with small pots, and bowls in the small pots. I made a big bag without wasting space. , are all brand-new brand-name goods.

Alas——Suddenly heard Grandpa sigh, Jinxi looked over, Grandpa bowed his head, his expression was very bad, and he got down to the ground with his cigarette pouch.He turned around and went out with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he heard the sound of a fire coming from the kitchen.

The excited people in the room looked at each other, wondering what was going on?

Jinxi looked at the new and good things on the kang, and suddenly understood, "These things seem to have been moved from the store, and there are dozens of them. The people who bought these things probably robbed other people's stores." Yes. The situation in the city is so serious."

The women were also in a bad mood, "Couldn't Zhang Zhong and the others snatch these things?" Brother Jinyang hesitated.

Jin Xi shook her head, "I know where they got these things from, and it has nothing to do with them." Although they also robbed it, they robbed winter melons.

"Come on, don't think so much, the world is in chaos, let's think about ourselves." The second uncle also got off the kang, pulled on his shoes and went out to find the old man. After a while, he heard the second uncle's words of comfort.

"Yeah, what can we do?" The old lady rubbed her eyes, "Feng, help me clear out the cabinet. These fabrics must be stored properly, and you can't be banned just because there are too many things."

"Well, don't worry, Mom, when did we waste it? We can't save it." The second aunt said and folded the fabric again, and now she is not as excited.The old lady was right, you can't be banned just because there are too many things, maybe you won't be able to buy them in the future, the second aunt suddenly had a realization, maybe it really is the end of the world as they said.

The house is very messy, and things need to be tidied up. The things are used for daily use, and the kitchen utensils are not needed. Put the separate lids and pots and pans together, and then prepare to pack them up.Jin Yang and Jin Xi squatted on the ground to pick.

"My good guy really brought a store that sells kitchen utensils." Jin Yang opened a steamer, which was also full. "It's a pity, it's broken." When I took it out, I saw that the second layer was a casserole, which was broken if it was not placed properly.

It's a pity for Jinxi, he picked out a glass pot lid, but fortunately most of them have foam paper inside, except for the outermost large steamer which is bumped, everything else is fine.

Take out a stone pot with a cover from a slightly larger steamer, the Korean style with silvery white patterns on it, very beautiful, old Shen pressed his hand, "Brother Jinyang, look at your place Is there such a small pot?"

"There are only two. It's not that big for what they are used for." The cooking is enough for two or three people, and the whole family can't use it.

"You can't use it to pickle pickles or something."

"They're all good things. Put them away and they will come in handy later." Grandma sighed and muttered.The mind is similar to that of the old man.Although she doesn't understand anything, she understands what the old man said before, and she has never seen such a big disaster at such an old age.Who knows what will happen in the future, so prepare carefully.

Gather the things that should be gathered together, send the pots, pans and pans to the house, and put the cloth in the cabinet. The cabinet is the dowry of grandma. When I married grandpa, I brought such a camphor wood kang cabinet, which is still a half cabinet. , Later, Grandpa added the upper half, with frosted glass, which has been used for four or fifty years and is still strong.

"What's that bag?" Jin Xi and Jin Yang came back after delivering the things, and saw the big bags leaning on the waist room and the west room door.Didn't open it just now.

Yingzi pulled it over, "It might be cotton or something, it's very soft." When he opened it, his eyes widened.

Jin Xi also saw it, "This is not easy to accept."

"What's not easy to accept?" Grandpa came in from the outside and asked casually, then followed Jinxi's gaze to look over, only to see Yingzi carrying a fur coat in his hand.

"Is this from Zhang Zhong?"

"En." Jin Xi nodded and walked over, taking out one by one, all of them were new fur coats with trademarks.This is a good thing to keep warm. At the beginning, Jinxi wanted to get some fur like sheepskin for the winter, but the family didn't have much money, so they put it down.Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhong gave them such a big bag.

Open it and check, there are fifteen pieces in total, of which nine are long, four are short, and the remaining two are vests.

"Send it back." The old man thought about it.

Holding a long mink coat, Yingzi looked at the old man reluctantly, and then at Jinyang.

Jin Yang shook his head, "Send it back." Maybe they took it wrong.Now that the weather is so cold, this fur coat is the most warm. The fabric and kitchen utensils were okay before, but I am afraid that this fur coat was taken by mistake.

"Jinxi, go and invite Zhang Zhong and the others to have dinner together. Take the things back by the way." The old man saw that Jinxi had put all his coats into the canvas bag and explained.

"Hey, I'll go right away." Tie the bag up, Jinxi carried it on his shoulders and went out. The wind and snow outside were much lighter, but no one could be seen.

The old man watched him leave, "Let's stew sauerkraut tonight, put some ribs and the leftover blood sausage in it, and make two appetizers. I will ask Jinxi to send the things back. Don't feel bad, our family has enough. Well, Jinxi bought a lot of down jackets, winter is over, the Zhang family brothers have helped us a lot, when they defected to us, we just helped a little bit, now it will be good if we can do that. In the future I still don’t know how to live. Our family is weak and your grandma and I are getting older. Dabao and Huzi are no good. Dajiang didn’t come back. There are only a few people inside and outside. Not enough. With the Zhang family brothers, we can take care of anything."

The old man took a puff of cigarette into his mouth, "Don't think I'm alarmist, just look at what Zhang Zhong and the others sent today, and you will know that the city is in chaos. People's safety is not guaranteed, and I didn't tell you before. It is said that after last month, a family of the shop was killed, and all the food in the family was robbed, and that family was the loneliest person with a foreign surname in their village."

"Really?" The second uncle raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

"Well, I also heard from your fifth uncle that your fifth aunt's house is a back shop. I heard what my family said when I went home. I was afraid that you would not tell you. There are four members in a family, and there is no one left. They can't control the village. Well, not long after the person died, the windows of the house were taken away. So we can’t be greedy for the cheapness. The things are delivered by others. I think the bags are packed for a long time. Maybe they don’t even know when they get it back. What's in it, don't regret it later, feel uncomfortable."

"Understood, Dad, it's not like we don't have clothes." The second uncle nodded.

Grandpa looked at the rest of the family, Yingzi and Jinyang also nodded, and said, "be careful in doing things in the future, it will be difficult."

It was difficult for Jin Xi to walk with things on his back, and a dozen overcoats were also heavy. The snow on the road that reached his knees made his walking even more difficult.

When we arrived at Zhang Cheng's house, the door was just hung, and Jin Xi didn't even knock on the door and went straight into the house, my good guy, there are a lot of things lying all over the floor.

"Jinxi, you're here. Why are you here with this heavy snow?" Zhang Cheng heard the noise coming out of the West Room.

"I'll bring this back to you, and I'll tell you to eat there." Jin Xi said as he swept the snow off the canvas bag and dragged it into the house.

Zhang Cheng stared at it, "What are you doing with it, it's for you guys."

At this time Zhang Zhong also came out, "Yes, it is specially for you. We got a lot back this time." In fact, they only counted the supplies of winter melon after they got home. This guy is also very good. All he wears are useful things, especially the fur coat, several bags, and looking at the clothes of his subordinates, it is estimated that Dong Gua wants to keep a hand, and keep all the good things for himself.

"No, Brother Zhang, it's too expensive. It's getting colder in the future, so you guys should keep it for your own use." Jin Xi pushed the bag forward as he said.

Zhang Cheng didn't answer, "I'll take it for you, why not be polite to us. By the way, I found something for you." He ran to the east room while talking, but just look at his legs.

"Okay, you put the things at the door and take them back together later. We are in a mess, you go to the east room to sit on the kang first, and we will clean up later before leaving." Zhang Zhong said and went to the west room .

"Jinxi, come here." Zhang Cheng called him from the east room.

Jin Xi entered the east room, "Why are you living in this room now?"

"Yeah." Zhang Cheng nodded with an unnatural expression on his face, "Anyway, Grandpa Cao sleeps alone, so I'll come and accompany him." He didn't want to be a light bulb in Westinghouse.

Jin Xi felt something was wrong there, but she didn't think about it.

Zhang Cheng took a cloth bag from the top of the kang, "Here, this is for you. I wrapped it all up, and I want to send it to you when I have time."

Jin Xi saw that it was wrapped in a bed sheet, and when Zhang Cheng opened it, there was a half-cut sable coat with stripes on it, "What are you doing for me? I have several down jackets."

"The down jacket can't stop the strong wind." Zhang Cheng said and took the things out of the bed sheet.

"This is for women." Jin Xi saw that it was the same as the clothes sent to them before. They were all women's clothes.

"Now you still pay attention to what is male or female, as long as it is warm. This style is simple. Who cares if you wear it as a man or a woman. You see, I also got you two pairs of leather pants, shoes, hats, and scarves." Zhang Cheng said, taking out one by one, "Try it on, these pants are a bit skinny, I can't put anything inside them. I think you can wear them well, and you don't need to take off the cotton pants. It's cold now." The wind is also strong, so you won’t get cold legs if you wear it.” Zhang Cheng said as he pulled out a pair of leather pants, the kind of leather pants with all the fur.

Zhang Cheng kept asking him to try it. Jin Xi had no choice but to take off his trousers and put on thin down cotton trousers inside. .”

"I don't know. It's the same for men and women." Zhang Cheng said as he put a hat on him, and Jin Xi put on long-haired winter shoes.

"I just said that Jinxi is the most handsome young man in our ten miles and eight villages. Sure enough, I was right." Cao Erxian came from Westinghouse, looked at Jinxi and smiled.

Jin Xi was a little embarrassed, and it was hot in the room, so she quickly took off her hat.

"There are not many hats, I brought you two. And this scarf, they are all matching. And these shoes, I remember your feet are not big and you wear [-]'s, right? The pair on your feet is [-]'s Yes, this pair is a size four or two, and if it’s colder, it’s enough to put insoles inside and wear wool socks.” Zhang Cheng took out one and one.

"Is what you gave me enough for you?" Jin Xi took off the hat on his head.

"Don't worry, that's enough." Zhang Cheng said and ran out again, "This pair is for Dabao. He has big feet. This is the only pair. You can also wear wool socks inside."

"Well, thank you."

"Why are we being polite?" Zhang Cheng smiled, "We both have to be polite, and we are the ones who thank you. If it weren't for the few phone calls you gave me back then, my brother wouldn't have given up his job in the capital and left early. If he really arrived Come back when things are serious, it’s not like this now.”

"But if I hadn't reminded them, uncles and aunts might—" In fact, after knowing Zhang Cheng's parents passed away, Jin Xi thought about it. If Zhang Cheng's parents hadn't been reminded to save food, Zhang Cheng's parents might not be remembered. It might be more difficult at this time, maybe they are still alive .So these days he feels somewhat conflicted.

Looking at Jin Xi's appearance, Zhang Cheng knew that he was thinking about it again.I have been a classmate with Jinxi for two years, but he understands it, and loves to think "Come on, the matter is over, and those people have also received retribution. In fact, my parents died not because of how much food they saved, but because they misunderstood Man, I haven't seen through my uncle's behavior for so many years. He used to come to our house to take advantage of it. My parents are good people. Even if my brother and I stand in the way, most of them will get their way. Forget it. " After finishing speaking, he rubbed Jinxi's face vigorously, "Oh, don't take everything on yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you." He really didn't expect Jinxi to have such thoughts.

Suddenly, someone patted Jinxi on the shoulder, and when he turned around, it was Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong rubbed his head with a smile, "You, you are too thoughtful. Even if you didn't remind me, my parents would save food. It has nothing to do with this." Zhang Zhong just said, why does this kid sometimes Look at the guilt in their eyes.As my younger brother said, this disaster has little to do with food storage, character determines fate, his parents' character and his uncle's greed and shamelessness caused this disaster.

In the end, Jinxi still didn't return the things. Not only that, but also the clothes, shoes and hats that Zhang Cheng specially selected for him. The small knot in his heart was put down because of the conversation with Zhang Cheng and Zhang Zhong. In fact, it was him. I thought about it, Zhang Zhong and Zhang Cheng brothers are very grateful to him, because of his reminder, they are much better now.

In the evening, everyone went home for dinner. The grandma stewed pork ribs with sauerkraut and sliced ​​meat to heat the blood sausage. She also cut pig ears, liver and heart to make a plate of appetizers.

It's been a while since I ate such a sumptuous dish. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and the old man drank three glasses of wine.He happily dipped Huzi several mouthfuls with chopsticks. When everyone found out, the little guy blushed and ran all over the kang with excitement. He was so energetic that he didn't go to bed until ten o'clock in the evening.He peed on the kang in the middle of the night.Grandpa was also talked about by grandma for a day.

This time the heavy snow has not stopped for three days, and the door was blocked when we got up in the morning. Although it is still snowing, everyone still needs to clean it up, especially the sheep and donkey sheds, which are easy to collapse if not cleaned.
