Chapter 23 Getting Ready for Winter
How to deal with Zhou Han?
Lin Yu thought of a set of tricks before, such as throwing sap sticks and threatening door-to-door threats, but Lin Zhizhong and Chu Cheng denied it.
What they meant was that it must not appear that the Lin family did it, and it couldn't be as simple and rude as Lin Yu thought.The best way is to make Zhou Han suffer a little bit, and never dare to stare at other people’s houses every day—in fact, no matter how you stare at other people’s things, they will never belong to you. ?
Lin Yu didn't understand Zhou Han's mentality very much.
"What do you know? He is completely idle. He doesn't do anything every day, but wants to cheat at other people's homes." Lin Zhizhong rolled his eyes.
"It's just okay for him to be like this. I'm afraid that with his personality, when things get chaotic, this kind of person will be the first to fish in troubled waters..." Chu Cheng continued, "He's just eating and drinking now. If the situation gets worse, Maybe you won't be able to steal and abduct, but if you're in a hurry, you might kill someone and set fire to it... I'm afraid you really have to be careful."
"This kind of person probably won't kill people for the time being... how dare he have the guts. But it's hard to say later." Lin Yu interrupted while eating leisurely.Anyway, he had already figured it out, if that Zhou Han came again and made Lin Yu really unhappy, then Lin Yu wouldn't mind giving him a ride.
Anyway, in the last days, he didn't experience anything.In the last days of cannibalism, if you still stick to the funny justice of the Virgin Mary in your heart, you may not be able to survive for three months.Lin Yu could pretend to be obedient in front of his family, and that was because his family was connected with him by blood, and they died for him in the end.
Except for his family, even in Chucheng, Lin Yu took him in and now treats him very well, even treating him like his family.But it's different, you can't see it now, but when the end of the world comes, when the real crisis comes, you will be able to distinguish it instantly.
Chu Cheng probably understood, so he didn't show any special gratitude or fear, nor was he particularly excited. He just silently taught Lin Zhizhong to practice boxing and helped the Lin family every day, as if he himself was a member of the family.
It is a good thing to be taken in at this moment, and he does not expect others to treat him as a blood relative for no reason.This is where Chucheng knows how to measure.
Although in his heart he yearned for the warm interaction of the Lin family who supported each other, he also occasionally thought that as long as he was with his family, even if he didn't have enough food and clothing at the moment, he might be willing.
It's just, how can there be so many ifs in the world?What's more, so many people died, and he was the only one who survived. He was already much luckier than others.
"Okay, okay, anyway, whatever he is doing to us now, we will treat him in the same way!" Lin Zhizhong interrupted their divergent thinking, and made the final decision simply and clearly.
So the Lin family was dispatched.
The method was very simple and rude. Lin Yu pulled Doudou and whispered in a whisper, and Doudou started to take the few remaining children in the village to run wildly in the village every day, playing happily in the cold weather.Then what I had to do every day was to squat at the door of Zhou Han’s house, and when I smelled the scent, I laughed and yelled to Lin Han who was returning home: “Uncle Zhou, is your family eating bacon and stewed radish today? It smells so good!”
The Zhou family lived in a relatively central part of the village. If the voice was heard, and the children present said it at home, the whole village might know about it.
After a few days, Zhou Han's face was blackened - he would go to other people's houses later, and the women in the village were no more tactful than Mother Lin.If Lin's mother is considered aggressive, then these women with children in the village are sharp-tongued.This is not a bad thing, at least it is very good to treat a thick-skinned villain.At first they were silent, just because the old people in the family were thinking about their friendship with Zhou's parents. This time even the old people in the family felt very bad about Zhou Han after hearing what the little grandson said.
After all, life is hard now, even the children in the family are thin and thin, whichever family has meat is not the first thing to think about feeding the children, Zhou Han's family's rubbish, the adults try their best to restrain themselves and eat less.The children felt that the level of food was plummeting, and most of the children were growing up. At that time, Lin Yu had a balanced diet of meat and vegetables every day, and he often felt hungry, let alone these children.
No matter how much the old man thinks about the old relationship with the elders, it must be his own little grandson who is more important.What's more, now that Zhou Han's family obviously has bacon, but they are always crying for poverty, they are immediately unhappy.
Therefore, after a period of time, Zhou Han was in a state of desperation, and he could no longer afford food. For the time being, he could only stay at home and take care of the dealer with his wife—he used to look down on the dealer before the end of the world, but he was not. A study material.So after graduating from junior high school, he wandered around outside. He didn't find a wife of unknown origin until he was in his thirties. He didn't even have a child until now, but he was not in a hurry at all.
It can't work now, in the last days, even if he doesn't want to do crop work, he knows the pain of hunger, so after the strategy of fighting the autumn wind in the village is shattered, he can only take care of it for a while. Turnips and cabbage—there is grain in the barn, and some of the potatoes and sweet potatoes brought back from the village are distributed to him. There is no shortage of coarse grains and staple foods, but if he doesn’t cultivate the land well and look at his animals, he is afraid that the next spring will come. There will be no food to eat.
Early winter has arrived, and every household is busy smoking bacon to prepare for the winter.This November is as cold as midwinter, I'm afraid it will still be cold.So the situation is actually very urgent.
On the day when the first snow fell in winter, the Lin family deliberately sent the family animals to the cousin's house for shelter at night.The family checked carefully for another whole day, even the kitchen was tidied up, and finally they called someone to help butcher the pig—the little fragrant pig that Lin Yu bought was already over 100 catties at this time.
Because it has only been raised for more than half a year, it is not very big. People in the village have killed pigs several times before, and some people in the village have raised sows and four or five big pigs. The big pigs are almost two hundred catties. .In previous years, their family used to buy pork for money, and this year they can’t sell it, so this family is also very generous. After killing a pig, according to the village custom, they either invite their close relatives to eat the slaughtered pig food, or give it to them. A close friend sent some pork.
These are all rural etiquette, but this one is more comprehensive - they invited the whole village, and not only invited everyone to dinner, but everyone who went gave two catties of meat.
The Lin family, except that Chucheng didn't want to join in the fun and also wanted to watch the house, so they planned to eat canned food at home, all four members of the Lin family went and brought back eight catties of fresh meat.
Lin Yu couldn't be happier. He hasn't eaten fresh meat for a long time to satisfy his hunger. Anyway, his family is about to kill a pig. In addition, Zhou Han forced the family to eat several meals of raw materials and canned food a few days ago. Now the whole family is hungry. .So that night, Mama Lin showed off her cooking skills and made Sixi meatballs, then made a small stir-fried pork, and added a super large portion of braised pork. Except for a seaweed egg soup and chopped chili cabbage, the table was full of meat. .
It's also all meat, and the pig-killing dishes are not as fine as those made at home, so the whole family ate this meal with great joy, and there was no soup left.
Similarly, it also strengthened their determination to kill pigs quickly.
So on this day, the family was finally settled. Lin Yu's family invited the son of the pig raiser to come over. The son was in charge of butchering pigs, and he was a pork seller in Taiping.After arriving at Lin's house, the water had already boiled, and the pot for slaughtering pigs had already been brought over.
The cousin is busy boiling water with Lin’s mother—after the pigs are bled, they will be thrown into a large basin to shed their hair.The pig was not completely dead when it was depilated, and was held down by the four men of the Lin family, so it couldn't move.
The pig butcher smiled and said, "It's so strange, your pig is the smoothest one I've killed this year."
"Maybe it's because of his small stature, he can see through the knife." Lin Zhizhong laughed.
Lin Yu didn't see these things in previous years, but at this time, although he was sorry for the pig, he was already drooling over the dead body - this is the sequelae left by the apocalyptic experience of the previous life, and he couldn't help but have it when he saw the food stress response.
I've been busy all morning, because the butcher doesn't charge money this year, and even if you have money in the city, you can't buy anything!Therefore, it was agreed to exchange a small bag of flour for a long time—the village where Lin Yu lives does not produce wheat, and flour can be bought in shops on weekdays, but it is nothing now.
Even the grocery store of Li Changxing's family has long since stopped selling anything. This bag of flour is not expensive in normal times, but now even if you have money, you can't buy it.Therefore, although it is only a small half bag left, wouldn't it be suitable for the occasion and make children like it when making dumplings or something during the Chinese New Year?
Therefore, the butcher didn't care about the lack of flour, not to mention that it was only half a bag, but it was enough to make two meals for their family's dumplings. Instead, they reached the deal cheerfully.
This is what Lin's mother had thought about for a long time - the four men in the family eat a lot of food, and the rice food is reduced.Even if he ate the grain distributed in the village and the rice that Lin Yu bought before, the speed of disappearing was scary enough.
So she thought—anyway, the bag of flour was bought when the villagers were invited to dinner, and the source was very decent.I was not afraid of being asked, so I went to ask the pig butcher with the feeling of saving a little bit, but I didn't expect that person to agree right away.
Now that the pig was slaughtered, the pork was divided into several large pieces according to Mama Lin's request.
The internal organs have not been washed yet.
The Lin family didn't invite anyone, they had thought about it a long time ago, there were so many people talking, especially when they met people like Zhou Han and Li Dazhuang, it might be another trouble, so they just planned to send some meat to everyone and forget it.
At this moment, the whole family, with the help of my cousin, worked for a whole day, from morning to night, and finally sorted out the internal organs of the pig, and then divided the pork and put them in the prepared pots and buckets.
After working on it for most of the night, I finally brought the sheep and many chickens home, and it was already midnight.
At this time, the Lin family finally finished their work. When they woke up, they found that the world outside the window had turned into a white color—it was snowing.
Lin Yu pulled the window and looked at everything outside, feeling a little depressed. It's the end of November, this snow is falling now, maybe no one pays attention, but it won't be long before everyone will find out that the snow will be like crazy , has been down, down, down until next spring.
During this period, it is not known how many surviving people and animals will freeze to death, and it is not known how many people will not be able to survive the long cold winter and die.Lin Yu didn't know, and he couldn't save these people.
His melancholy at this time is nothing but the fear and hesitation of a small person about this doomsday.
He stared at it for a long time, and he didn't find out until Chu Cheng and Lin Zhizhong came back from the morning exercise, and Chu Cheng went back to his room to ask him to get up for dinner.
When Chu Cheng entered the door, he saw Lin Yu's nose was red from the cold, and his eyebrows and eyes, which had always been bent, were no longer lively and jumping like before, but full of melancholy.
This melancholy added a touch of charm to Lin Yu's original delicate facial features, and he had a completely different style from his usual bright, just like the snow-covered land, which made people feel refreshed.
Although the white snow in front of him was beautiful, Chu Cheng frowned slightly. He stepped forward, picked up his coat and put it on Lin Yu who was beside the bed, and said, "What are you looking at? Don't worry, the vegetables won't be frozen to death by the snow." When the snow stops, vegetables like radish, cabbage and chrysanthemum will only grow better."
He actually knew that Lin Yu was not thinking about these things just now, but Chu Cheng knew that Lin Yu treasured these dishes and chickens and ducks the most. With a heart-scratching expression: "Oh!! I forgot, what to do! There is still snow, what to do if the vegetables freeze to death, and the chickens and ducks, the houses over there are not at all. It’s warm!! And our house, it’s not the coldest time yet! Hey, why doesn’t anyone know how to repair the kang!”
After he finished speaking, he didn't realize how many leaks he had missed. Lin Yu himself didn't know that his defense against Chu Cheng was still there, but it was getting smaller and smaller.Chu Cheng knew it in his heart, but he subconsciously cherished Lin Yu's reaction and never took the initiative to pursue it, so he always diverted the topic appropriately.
For example, now, he keenly grasped the topic Lin Yu asked, and asked, "What are you talking about, Kang? Is it the kind of Kang in the north?"
"That's right, the kind where the whole family can sleep on it without being cold." Lin Yu looked at him eagerly: "Do you know how?"
"No." Chu Cheng was resolute. Seeing Lin Yu's discouraged expression, he said, "But I happened to have stayed in an orphanage north of Central City. There is one there. I still remember it. We can try it." .”
"Really?!" Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and the bright and transparent light brown pupils instantly looked like a sea of lights lit up. Chu Cheng was taken aback for a while before nodding his head.
Lin Yu thought of a set of tricks before, such as throwing sap sticks and threatening door-to-door threats, but Lin Zhizhong and Chu Cheng denied it.
What they meant was that it must not appear that the Lin family did it, and it couldn't be as simple and rude as Lin Yu thought.The best way is to make Zhou Han suffer a little bit, and never dare to stare at other people’s houses every day—in fact, no matter how you stare at other people’s things, they will never belong to you. ?
