Surviving the end of the world

It's not just the people in the city who are irritable. Chen Jin's hometown is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It has been a relatively developed area since ancient times. Although it can be regarded as a land of fish and rice, there are many famous people and few lands.An ordinary family can have four or five acres of land, not to mention that a large number of outsiders come here to invest in vegetable planting, goat and dairy farming, and ecological vineyards... At that time, most of the strong laborers in the countryside went out. After going to work, most of the people left behind are older people. Even if people in their 70s and [-]s are more energetic now, they can't grow so much land. Therefore, it is natural to subcontract them to those outsiders.

In this way, there is a problem. Generally, the food grown by oneself will be enough for the family to eat, and the surplus is very limited.But this year is different. There are no vegetables, and naturally the staple food is consumed more, and the food of each family is not considered as much.And although there is a saying that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, but this year the snow has become a disaster, and the climate is too abnormal. Everyone has made preparations for the harvest of wheat grains in the field. If they want to plant rice, they have to wait three or four more month, wait until the harvest, and wait until the second half of the year.In this way, food for the next year will become a problem.

At this time, credit is no longer in people's eyes. Now they only want to take back their own land, and when the weather gets warmer, they can replant some yams and potatoes, so as not to starve.

Of course, they would not say that on the surface, and everyone began to discuss the issue of compensation for land occupation.Everyone knows the problems here, but in the past, firstly, they couldn’t take care of them, and secondly, people always had some fear of the rich and powerful. The village negotiated conditions and issued notices, unless It's that kind of thorn, otherwise no one would confront the village cadres.But people are going to starve to death, not to mention, at this time, what about the village cadres, the officials who are as big as sesame seeds, can still ignore the life and death of the people in a village.

"The compensation of 800 yuan per mu of land per year is really too little. If we grow our own, we can't earn thousands of dollars a year!"

"That's right, those village cadres definitely took advantage of it!"

"That's right, why should they benefit, we have to starve to death! We must get the land back later!"

……

Similar discussions were not affected by the cold and inconvenient transportation, and soon spread, and those village cadres naturally heard the wind.Nowadays, because of the national policy, the cadres should be younger. As a result, the more prestigious generation in the village has retired. The current village cadres are not very old, and two of them are college graduates from other places. When encountering such a thing, it is natural to lack confidence.

Fortunately, it is still in the first month of the month, the weather is still very cold, and it is not easy to walk in the village, and the businessmen from other places are not there, so this matter has not really exploded yet, as long as it waits until the replanting, all of this must be done. has been solved.

Chen Jin also participated in the discussion of these people. For this kind of thing, the more people, the better. According to them, looking at the current situation, the city may not be more reliable than the village. In the future, food will only be more expensive. Chen Jin's family A few acres of land have now been subcontracted to others, and the private land in front of the house and behind the house is only enough to grow some vegetables. If you don't want the land back, how will you live?

Chen Jin thought for a while, and this is indeed true. Although the space is still expanding, the food planted in it is enough for him to eat, and there is still a lot left, but if this continues, a fool will doubt it. If the land wants to come back, even if it is for others to see, it still needs to be planted. Naturally, he nodded again and again, and told a few elders that he was young and inexperienced. After so many years, I am afraid that there is no room for talking. Please help me a lot and compliment those people well.

The following days will be very difficult for many people. The weather does not mean to get warmer at all, and everything else can be done. However, there is no firewood, no cooking, no heating, which is the big trouble.

Not to mention that there are relatively few trees here, that is, there are some on the side of the road, and they are relatively malnourished. The snow is so thick, even if there are suitable trees, how can we get by.

In order to prevent others from seeing the flaws, Chen Jin has already transferred most of the remaining briquettes into the space, and then found out the tattered tables and chairs that had not been thrown away before, and asked the neighbor next door to borrow an ax to clean up those tattered tables and chairs. Tables and chairs were split to make firewood.

Chen Jin is obviously not the only one doing this. Many people in the village are turning discarded wooden products and even usable tables, chairs and benches into firewood. No matter how reluctant they are, things are not as important as life.

Bai Jing squatted on the side boredly, watched Chen Jin split a stool with a broken leg, and complained: "Why are you so careful, these human beings are very weak, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Chen Jin put down the half-dismembered stool and ax in her hand, and said softly, "We're going to live here for a long time, and if people suspect us, we might have to move! With a little effort, we can Settle down here and save yourself other troubles!"

Bai Jing got up and took the axe, and helped to split the stool: "Ajin, let me do it! Ajin, the world has been so chaotic recently, I can't feel anything! But Ajin, don't worry too much. Now that my cultivation base has recovered, even if those old monsters among the monks come out, I will still be able to fight, and there is still room for you to retreat!"

Chen Jin smiled: "Let's stay in the village safely, wait a little longer, let's go back to the city when the time is right, after all, the countryside is crowded with people, so we have to be more careful about many things. There are so many troubles, and although it is not quiet enough, there are still many new things, and I will take you there to see it!"

Bai Jing was not very interested in these things, but when Chen Jin said this, a smile appeared on his face, his hands kept moving, and he quickly split the stool apart.

The cold weather lasted until April. Due to various reasons, most of the people in the village had disheveled faces, and they were all haggard. However, the temperature also rose suddenly. At that time, the sun was wasting heat recklessly, and the snow that had accumulated more than half a person's height melted all of a sudden, which made people feel caught off guard.

It stands to reason that it will be very cold when the snow melts, but the temperature has risen to almost [-] degrees in a short period of time. The melting of the snow is simply a disaster. Being submerged directly, the river surged, and the turbulent snow water flowed around, rushing into the courtyard and the farmland. People couldn't care about anything else, so they could only keep using various containers to pour the snow water pouring into the house. go out.There are all kinds of messy things floating in the water, such as wood, bamboo poles, foam plastics, wheat seedlings and vegetables that were frozen to death, and even young trees, some chickens and ducks that don’t seem to have died for a long time, and even some goats and cows floating in the water. The corpses, people didn't realize it at first, but then they figured it out, these goats and cows are probably from the farm, and the so-called staff there are people from the nearby villages, the traffic was cut off due to the previous heavy snowfall Naturally, no one took care of them, there was not enough food, and the species degenerated, unable to withstand the sudden cold weather, they died naturally and were buried in the heavy snow, so they did not rot, but the temperature rose rapidly, and the accumulated The snow melted, and these corpses were naturally washed out by the snow water.

Fortunately, the flood subsided within a few days. The people in the village looked at the washed-out farmland, cheered up, and went to the village cadres to solve their own contracted fields.
