Surviving the end of the world

When Li Lin and his father and daughter came, the sun had just set, and there was still a little light in the room. Chen Jin and Bai Jing had already eaten, and they were taking a shower by the well at the moment. Jin put the bucket aside, greeted the two of them and sat down.

Xinxin has been familiar with Chen Jin, Bai Jing and the others for a long time, so she graciously called her cousin, then sat down obediently, and looked at Chen Jin eagerly. Then he made a glass of Guozhen for Xin Xin. With a happy smile on his face, Xin Xin took the glass and took a sip.

Chen Jin poured Li Lin a glass of water, asked Bai Jing to grab a large handful of roasted peanuts and piled them on the table, and said apologetically, "The tea leaves are gone, don't mind!"

Li Lin shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why don't you mind or not, I am still alive to drink a glass of boiled water, I am lucky!"

"Don't think too much, it's good if you can come back!" Chen Jin comforted him not very sincerely, and then sat aside.

Li Lin watched Bai Jing sit down next to Chen Jin naturally, grabbed a small handful of peanuts and peeled them to eat. From time to time, he would send a few peanuts to Chen Jin's mouth. Li Lin ate the natural intimacy. Surprised, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked, "Who is this?"

Chen Jin glanced at Bai Jing and said indifferently, "Ah, Bai Jing, my partner!"

Li Lin almost didn't get choked. Fortunately, he had seen many such things in big cities, so he finally didn't show disgust. He glanced at Bai Jing with a little curiosity, and after a long time, he stuttered. Said: "Well, does that cousin know?"

Chen Jin's expression faded: "If he comes, he will know!"

Li Lin suppressed the surprise in his heart. This time he finally understood why Chen Jin would bring a person by his side for free food in such a difficult time. It turned out that the two had such a relationship. He saw the natural intimacy revealed by the two of them. , I actually felt some envy in my heart.

When Bai Jing heard Chen Jin unscrupulously say that he was his target in front of others, his mouth was about to burst into a grin. If there were no outsiders around, he would have pounced on Chen Jin.

Li Lin didn't say anything else. This news was enough for him to digest it. As for whether Chen Jin's being with a man will make the Chen family unrepeatable, it has nothing to do with him. I heard that my uncle took his stepson Be your own son!

Li Lin naturally stopped mentioning these things, and instead talked about this disaster that caught people off guard.

Li Lin obviously felt a lot of emotion and anger about this. He cursed there. The boss of the company did not send a notice after the outbreak, and ran away with the money. He even sold all kinds of office supplies in the office. Net, naturally, their salary for that month has become nothing, and no one cares about it when they report it to the labor bureau, so they know to say some useless routines.

There are also all kinds of unfairness in the city. My wife was sick and sent to the hospital, but I just went home to get some daily necessities, but when I came back, he said his wife was dead, and he refused to let him take her back. He said that he was afraid of infection, so he didn't even send it to the morgue, but sent it directly to the crematorium with several other corpses. He didn't even know if the ashes he received were his wife's ashes.

There, he scolded City B for not treating these outsiders as human beings. They worked so hard in City B, but they could only live in a poor area, and no one cared about them when they died. The outsiders have used up the supplies, and they have to rely on the local household registration to buy anything. They can only buy food at a large price through those unscrupulous businessmen...

As he said this, he was about to cry again. Chen Jin sighed, poured him another glass of water, and persuaded him, "It's all over, why are you still talking about these things?"

Li Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Cousin, my family, I was the only one who survived in the end. At that time, I really even wanted to kill someone!"

Chen Jin is not a eloquent person, and he didn't know what to say, so he heard Li Lin sneer: "Didn't the country think there were too many people in the past? Now it's okay, everyone is almost dead, without us These miserable people, let's see how those who are used to living a good life survive!"

Li Lin and Chen Jin didn't know what to say, so he said softly, "Since you're back, don't think about these things all the time! My aunt is old and doesn't have enough energy. We all rely on you to support the family business!"

Li Lin let out a long breath, glanced at Chen Jin, and showed an ugly smile: "Cousin, I just can't help it, I, I really hate those things! Forget it, don't mention these things It's getting late, I should go back, grandma is still at home waiting for us to go back for dinner!"

Chen Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. People who have never experienced those things have no capital to say. He nodded and saw that Xinxin was still biting a large piece of peanut candy with her rice-like deciduous teeth. In Li Lin's hands: "Take it back and let Xinxin eat slowly!"

Li Lin declined for a while, but seeing Xinxin's longing eyes, he still accepted it and thanked him repeatedly. If it was before, let alone the homemade peanut candy, even imported candy, he would bring a big one to Xinxin every time he came back. Heaps, now that he thinks about it, he can only sigh, his precious daughter was born in the wrong age, if the situation keeps getting worse, I'm afraid there will be no good life for the rest of his life!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. This is still the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The altitude is less than ten meters. However, due to the hot weather and no rainfall, some shallow ponds dug by hand can already see the silt at the bottom of the pond. In the pond mud that was still a little moist, they rolled their eyes and struggled. Although these fish added a dish to the villagers' dining table, many people began to worry.

The water level of the river has dropped significantly, there is no electricity, the electric irrigation station is useless, and the canals are already dry. Although we have planted a lot of crops that are more drought-resistant, such as sweet potatoes and corn, the staple food here is still rice. Well, the weather is so hot, if there is no more water, the rice in the paddy fields will probably be drought-dead, and there will be no harvest.

Some people did not give up, and took water from the river to irrigate the fields every night, but at dawn, the fields were almost dry again, which was obviously useless. It was pulled out, and the sweet potato was replanted directly before the ground was cracked by the drought. Anyway, the sweet potato only needs to get some sweet potato vine cuttings. Corn seedlings have to be raised, and potatoes have to be processed, which is not as convenient as sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato can't be left alone. After several days of continuous watering, the sweet potato vines from the cuttings finally came back to life, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.Seeing Chen Jin and the others doing this, some people also gave up the rice that was obviously difficult to survive, and planted sweet potatoes instead. Although it is not good to eat too much sweet potatoes, it is better than starving to death.

Their actions were obviously very timely. The artificial river that had never dried up across the village had exposed its river bed, leaving only some small puddles remaining.The river bed exudes a rotten smell, but people are not in the mood to complain. Without water, the rice is completely hopeless, and the surface temperature has risen to nearly [-] degrees. Obviously, it is too late to replant sweet potatoes.
