food crisis [end times]

Zhu Yan had a bright smile, perfect and impeccable.But Xiang Luo, who was looking at Zhu Yan from behind, saw his smile but felt his scalp go numb.

Zhou Xingfeng only stared at Zhu Yan, staring straight at him.But this time he was very face-saving and remembered to reply: "Zhou Xingfeng."

"The one who makes waves?" Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Xingfeng responded, and then Zhu Yan turned around and led the two brothers into the house.

As the two walked in, Zhou Xingwen looked at Xiang Luo in embarrassment, pulled the corners of his lips and lowered his voice and asked, "This...what's going on? Is he angry?"

Xiang Luo glanced at him: "I should ask, does your brother dislike me?"

"No way! He has that kind of temper. He was like that when he was in school. But he is really promising. This time he came back with more than a dozen younger brothers. The older brothers are all tall and big, and I looked a little nervous. You said that my brother is promising, and it is not easy in this world to be like this."

Xiang Luo listened thoughtfully, and asked again: "Is he coming back for the first time in five years?"

Zhou Xingwen nodded: "I haven't seen him all this time. Since his parents divorced, he went to the Pearl River Delta with my second uncle (second uncle) to develop, and he hasn't had any contact with him these years. They say he's quite a mess. Okay. I didn't even have time to ask him when he came back, so I came to see you."

They are uncles and brothers. Although they are born close because of their blood relationship, after all these years they have not seen each other, and they are also strangers.

Seeing that the two of them had already entered the house, Xiang Luo hurriedly dragged Zhou Xingwen into the house.

Zhu Yan talked with Zhou Xingfeng while making tea.This week, Zhou Xingfeng seemed to be looking for Zhu Yan, and even the people around him couldn't get in their mouths when they were chatting with each other.

"I haven't seen you very much at old school reunions these years. If I remember correctly, you suddenly stopped studying shortly before the college entrance examination. By the way, you seem to have transferred." Zhu Yan asked with a smile.

"My parents got divorced, so I went to Province J with my father." Zhou Xingfeng looked at the teapot with a blank expression on his face.

Zhu Yan shook the teapot, watched the water in it gradually stained the color of tea, and said with a smile: "Then you are out of luck. Where is it?"

Zhou Xingfeng was silent for a while, looking at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan didn't feel that he was rude, but smiled and said: "I follow the steps. Our score line is not high here. I went to N University. After graduation, I came back without looking for a job. My family gave me a small company. , I can't retreat either."

Zhou Xingfeng was stunned, and watched Zhu Yan pick up a teacup and pour tea, and then said: "I'm not as lucky as you. I just changed the environment and didn't adapt to it, and it was the highest in the country in terms of score and difficulty. .In addition, I didn’t perform well, so I only took the second exam.”

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his lips made Xiang Luo feel that he was gloating.

"Haven't you ever thought about taking the exam again?"

Zhou Xingfeng took the teacup, felt the scorching heat from the teacup, and his expression seemed to be more gloomy: "My dad has no money."

Hearing this, Zhou Xingwen said: "Isn't this delaying your whole life? My second uncle and his wife are really, if they really have no feelings for each other, the divorce should be after your college entrance examination! Now you are getting divorced before the college entrance examination, and you still have to take the college entrance examination. You went to another place. You were in the third year of high school at the time, and you shouldn’t change places casually even if you were in the second year of high school! Your family is already difficult, and it’s so easy to have a chance to have a noble son from a poor family, but they forced it to disappear.”

Zhou Xingfeng held the teacup in his hand and did not speak.

Xiang Luo asked Zhou Xingwen to take a seat, and sat himself on the chair next to the sofa.

In fact, if you look at it this way, Zhou Xingfeng's situation is quite similar to his.

Before the college entrance examination, there were accidents in the family that changed my life.It's just that Zhou Xingwen still went to a university and had a degree, but Xiang Luo stopped there. His degree is still a junior high school graduate, because he didn't get a high school diploma back then.

Zhou Xingwen himself felt that what he had said was too much. Looking at Zhou Xingfeng who was silent, he said again to make up for it: "But anyway, you are still a college student, better than us. I went to work before I finished junior high school. At that time, the village My head said that reading is useless, so I believed in this evil. Now that I think about it, I wanted to learn how to grit my teeth like you, but now it may be completely different."

Zhu Yan didn't feel that these words were painful, but continued to ask: "After graduating from university? Or did you go to graduate school?"

"No, I went to find an office in the Pearl River Delta."

"Social animal?" Zhu Yan found embarrassment in the air after asking, and just smiled: "It's nothing, who is not a social animal?"

Zhou Xingfeng was silent for a while before answering: "Yes."

"Then it will be even more difficult to come back. Have you thought about what will happen in the future?" Zhu Yan asked.

"Still thinking about it." Something flickered in Zhou Xingfeng's eyes.

Although it was a fleeting emotion, Zhu Yan still caught it.

"That's just right, we are just in need of manpower. Since we are old classmates, we must be more at ease with you. We intend to build a factory for making fungus bags. But this kind of thing is quite complicated. It needs someone with a little education to polish and think about it. You I just came back at this time, isn't this sleepy and someone sent me a pillow?"

Zhu Yan didn't hide the smile in his words, Xiang Luo didn't understand why the two of them were facing each other.But he knew that Zhu Yan was not a vexatious person.

Then he followed Zhu Yan's words and said, "Didn't you manage more than a dozen people? That management ability should be quite strong, and I just happened to help manage people in the factory. Although there are three people in my family, apart from mushrooms and fungus bags, There are still ducks to be raised. In the future, there will be arrangements for the by-products derived from ducks. These have to be done slowly.”

As soon as Xiang Luo finished speaking, Zhou Xingfeng looked at Xiang Luo.Xiang Luo was still analyzing the emotion in his eyes, Zhu Yan had already said:

"With such a talent, we can relax a lot. The more things we have to do, the more we have to do. Everyone is afraid of making too many mistakes." Zhu Yan smiled, and there was no emotion between his brows and eyes. To cover up the ostentation.

Zhou Xingfeng suddenly stood up, took a deep look at the two of them, turned around and walked out.

Zhou Xingwen was the most embarrassed, so he had to apologize to Xiang Luo and the two, got up and chased them out.

Xiang Luo didn't show any politeness, and saw that people had gone out, and locked the door outside. When he returned to the house, he saw that Zhu Yan poured the tea for Zhou Xingfeng into the swill bucket, and threw the cup into the trash can.

Where is Zhu Yan still smiling at this time?

An Wei had been listening to the movement in the kitchen, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any grudge against him?"

Although Zhu Yan looked enthusiastic just now, he was poking at Zhou Xingfeng's lungs between the lines, but he was smiling all over his face, which was tantamount to pulling someone with a soft knife.

No wonder Zhou Xingfeng left as soon as he raised his leg.

Everything he said was fine, but it made people feel very angry when they heard it.

An Wei could see it, how could Xiang Luo not see it?

"No enmity, it should be that he has enmity with Xiang Luo." Zhu Yan wiped his hands and turned back into the house, Xiang Luo and An Wei followed closely behind.

Xiang Luo sensed Zhou Xingwen's strangeness, and also understood that he must not have come here simply to take a look.

What exactly is the picture, Xiang Luo has not yet figured it out.After all, Zhou Xingfeng had only a handful of words from the beginning.

But Zhu Yan just watched Xiang Luo shake hands with him outside, so he could be sure that Zhou Xingwen was hostile to him, and stepped up to block Xiang Luo, taking the initiative until Zhou Xingwen left.

Now that Zhu Yan said this with a bad face, Xiang Luo knew that he was serious, so he would naturally listen carefully to what he said.

Zhu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Xiang Luo: "Stay away from him in the future."

Xiang Luo just smiled and said, "I'm not going out, I'm afraid he won't come here again."

Zhu Yan recalled all the things just now, and only said: "I felt something was wrong with him when I was in high school."

"What?" Xiang Luo really didn't have much impression of him.

Zhu Yan glanced at Xiang Luo, curled his lips and said sarcastically, "You always look at you intently!"

Xiang Luo blinked, only smiled and said, "You don't think he's interested in me, do you?"

"You really feel good about yourself." Zhu Yan sneered, then turned serious, and frowned, "I can't say for sure, anyway, just don't think he is a good person."

"We won't let him in from now on." Xiang Luo was very straightforward.

Anwei squeezed his chin: "I heard from that person that he was working in the Pearl River Delta before. He came back at this time and brought a dozen people with him. He couldn't be coming back from Guangdong."

If this is the case, God knows what has been experienced along the way.

Moreover, if he really returned to the village alive, how terrible the process would be.

The three of them didn't speak for a while, Zhu Yan thought of something again, and then asked Xiang Luo: "Why didn't I hear you say that you are from the same village?"

"When did I notice him?" Xiang Luo said helplessly.

"Then tell me what you know about him." Zhu Yan raised his legs.

Xiang Luo only felt that he was a prisoner waiting for interrogation.

"I don't know much. It just seems that his family was very difficult when he was in elementary school. He has always been supported by poor students in junior high school and high school. His father has six brothers, and his father is the second child. But his uncle is the eldest among the brothers. Then The latter... I don’t know. At that time, my family was more chaotic than anyone else’s. It seemed that when all the dust settled, their family had never appeared in the village. I heard it from the village later. It is said that his parents Kouzi worked so hard to save money for the child to go to college, but his mother insisted on joining some direct sales and lost all the money. The father wanted to divorce no matter what. He took his son and left. Being a mother also feels ashamed, I haven't been back to the village since the divorce. It's a big deal, and everyone knows it."

Otherwise, Xiang Luo wouldn't be impressed.

But Xiang Luo didn't expect to be together when he saw Zhou Xingfeng just now.After all, his parents have more sense of existence than him.

This was after Zhou Xingfeng entered the room and was interrogated by Zhu Yan in various ways, and Xiang Luo was connected together by following his words.

Anwei raised his eyebrows, gloating and said, "This guy is pretty miserable."

Of course, Anwei didn't know what kind of person he was, but Zhu Yan still had considerable authority. Neither Xiang Luo nor Anwei would have the slightest doubt about what he said.

The more Zhu Yan listened, his brows furrowed deeper, apparently thinking of something.But Zhu Yan didn't intend to say it out, but just looked Xiang Luo up and down, and said: "Do not bark a biting dog, don't forget."

The more people shouting and killing people in the streets, the more timid they are in their hearts. He just wants to tell you with great fanfare, so that you can avoid it, so as to cover up his inner anxiety and fear.And those who are really holding back and harming others are often more honest.Because when the other party wants to hurt you, they are actually afraid that you will avoid it, so they will try their best to pretend to be the person who will least hurt you, so that you will be defenseless when they attack.

It's rare that Zhu Yan cares about him so much, Xiang Luo nodded: "I'll listen to you."

Zhu Yan said what he said.Xiang Luo's thinking may not be able to keep up, but Ke Sheng is listening to his wife, and she will do whatever she says.Even if he said that the sun came out from the west, Xiang Luo would stand firm for him.

No one knew what Zhou Xingwen was thinking, but they were somewhat on guard against him.

Zhou Xingwen returned to the village alone.

Because he has no father and no mother, he is currently living in Zhou Xingwen's house, and the dozen or so subordinates he brought with him arranged for the village committee to make a floor shop.At present, there are no vacant houses in the village, and if there are few people, it is impossible to rashly invite outsiders to live in them.The original empty houses were basically dilapidated, and they were demolished when the fence was built before.

How to keep these people, the village committee has already held a meeting to discuss.After all, seeing that the higher-ups are coming down to inspect, these dozen or so homeless people cannot be left without a place to live.

While the village was worrying about this matter, Zhou Xingfeng took the people away by himself.

He went back to the village as if he was a guest. He left after staying for less than two days, but he didn't tell anyone where he was going.

The village has been talking about him for several days, and some say that they feel that the conditions in the village are too poor, and that he has the ability and wants to continue to forge ahead.Some also said that he must not be doing good things. Seeing that there are so many soldiers in the village, they dare not stay any longer.

No matter what, a few days after Zhou Xingwen took people away, the day when the leader came down to inspect.

In recent days, rodent control has been strengthened, and ditches similar to trenches have been dug outside the village, and the number of rats in the village has been greatly reduced.As long as there is something tied to the leg, there is basically no risk of being bitten.

I heard that someone is coming from above.Most of the people in the village came out of their homes and stood on both sides of the road to watch.

What they saw was not only the big characters they had seen on TV, but also the future of the entire village.

Their existence is only in its infancy.Where I can go later and how high I can stand, it can be said that it all depends on today.

All three members of Xiang Luo's family were elected as village representatives and stood in the first row.Originally, the village head wanted to wear a bright red shoulder strap for him, but Xiang Luo found it weird no matter what he said, and he refused to touch it, and the village head couldn't force it.

Seeing a police off-road vehicle slowly driving into the village, almost everyone's heart was lifted.

The People's Liberation Army in the village was busy stabilizing the crowd, for fear that someone would jump over and crush the wheel in agitation.

The roads in the village were much cleaner than before the end of the world. The roads on both sides were spotless, and the car stopped at the entrance of the village.Several people got out of the car and looked around.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray polo shirt was surrounded by the crowd. His hair was a bit short and he was in good shape.It's a bit like the old neighbor who was so common before.

At this time, he was listening to the introduction of the secretary next to him, and looked at the surrounding environment and people.

The village head, Zhou Zhenhua, went up to meet him, but he heard the man ask the secretary next to him, "Isn't it you who arranged for them to do this?"

I have never seen a village so clean before this end of the world.Unless the slightest tourist village needs to maintain a good environment and hire someone to clean it.Otherwise, the residential villages are generally as comfortable as possible, and there are too many dirty and messy ones.

The secretary naturally shook his head repeatedly, and said, "It's difficult for us to make a phone call now, who can arrange this."

Zhou Zhenhua hurriedly said: "We knew that you were coming to clean it up. In fact, it was pretty good, and the people in the village are hardworking. When I heard that the people from above came, I was afraid of embarrassment, so I cleaned it up."

The leader nodded, and still blamed: "This is too troublesome. I only go in and out of this road twice. I mainly look at mushroom bags and ducks."

No matter how clean the road is, it is only superficial work.In the past, the reason why you may face the risk of being on TV is definitely the best preparation.But now it doesn't matter so much.

Did not drive into the village, but walked all the way to see.Actually go to the village committee and look at the information summarized in the village, especially the number of catties of mushrooms that have been sold by each household in the village.This is related to the grain income of each household.

As the representative, Xiang Luo stood along the corridor all the way, and was pushed forward one by one by the village committee members, asking him to come into the office and listen to what the leader had to say.

I looked at the sales data of mushrooms in the village and pointed out that there were two households whose sales were only in single digits. Obviously, such households could not sell much food.

"Can these two companies afford mushroom bags?" With such a low grain production, the only possibility is that the number of mushroom bags cannot increase.

Zhou Zhenhua shook his head: "There are really no difficult families in the village now. And there is public grain in the village. If there is no food, you can apply for it from the village and buy mushroom bags. These two families are basically the same person, especially his family, who is very stubborn. Instead of buying finished mushroom bags, I only buy raw materials to make them myself. As a result, the quality of the mushroom bags I made couldn’t improve, and the mushrooms I produced were poor. Some people persuaded me that it didn’t work, but I just had to make it myself.”

If there are fewer mushrooms produced, the natural income will be less.

The leader thought about it and said: "Then it depends on your intentions. As long as the village wants to grow mushrooms, no one will be left behind. Even if the village pays for it, it must be raised. Let this village become a veritable mushroom village. Food Regarding the start-up fund, I will discuss it later. But we can’t intervene in the grassroots work, so you need to worry about it. I hope next time there will be no double-digit figures on this list. Otherwise, the income will not be enough for one family. Monthly consumption."

As a villager, what I like the most is more money and less work, giving food and general directions, and the village will develop on its own behind closed doors on specific matters.Having the greatest degree of freedom and preferential policies is the foundation of people's development and prosperity.

After looking at the data, I looked at two families that Zhou Zhenhua had selected in advance to see how they raised mushrooms.
