Apocalyptic Tundra Age

Xu Zhonglei's hometown is different from other places. The traditional hospitality is freshly brewed tea.

Boil well water, put tea leaves, shredded ginger, fried sesame seeds, soybeans, peanuts, and salt in a large enamel tank, and then rinse with boiling water to become a "ginger salt" for hospitality. Tea".

Use a small teacup to pour the tea in the enamel jar back and forth, and wait until the sesame beans, peanuts, and ginger shredded salt are mixed well, and then it can be served to the guests.

Apparently, the handicraft of frying and pouring tea by flower maids is proficient. Xu Zhonglei picked up five soybeans, thirty sesame seeds, a few pieces of tea leaves, ginger salt tea without peanuts, and took a sip of it— - no salt taste!

This is the taste of memory!

Huayu's tea has always been reluctant to add salt and ingredients, Xu Zhonglei followed his grandmother to leave the house, and the top one who doesn't like to drink tea is Huayu's.

"Where did Libai go?" Xu Zhonglei asked while drinking.

"There is a severe drought this year, and there is no water in the fields. I plan to pump some water from the old pond to plant the fields."

"That's really hard work! Lidia is almost seventy now? Still working in the fields? You're in good health!"

"It's more than 70, 72 this year! If you don't farm the land, you won't have food. Fortunately, my family still has a strong labor force, and my family's Guangming is also in the field!"

Hua Nuo was washing the dishes, speaking in a calm manner.

"Uncle is still at home? Didn't you go out to work?"

"My family is not as bright as you are a college student. It is not easy to find a job. You can only go out to work with people you know. This is because his father is working hard, so he came back to help."

"That's uncle's filial piety." Xu Zhonglei followed the old lady's words.

Sure enough, the old lady's tone became much more cheerful, "Shitou, you are doing well, you even dress the dog."

"This—" Xu Zhonglei choked, he was speechless, a collar, a rope, how could he put on clothes.

The old lady didn't care what he wanted to express, and continued to talk, "What are you doing in Guang'an?"

"Design, draw pictures for others!"

"A lot of money a month?"

"It's okay. Not much, and the things in Guang'an are also expensive."

The old lady continued as if she didn't hear, "I must have earned a lot. The house your family built seems to have cost a lot of money."

"This—" Xu Zhonglei couldn't continue talking.

"Woman—do you have food?"

Xu Zhonglei heard a male voice coming from outside, and a man wearing a blue camisole and black shorts walked in from outside.Xu Zhonglei stood up politely, the man was shorter than him.

"Stone? A distinguished guest is coming!" The man's smile made Xu Zhonglei a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Tianci, did you just wake up?"

"I won a few big rounds last night, more than 3000! It's been all night. I'm lucky recently. I can still win a big round tonight! Someday I will take you to open your eyes!" Xu Tianci's eyes were black and blue, looking It just looks like staying up late for a long time, probably winning money and being in good spirits.

"You want to bet that I'm too lazy to take care of you, so you can try bringing the stone in again?" The old lady exploded when she heard it, and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"What's wrong with me winning money with stones? Some people don't even earn that much a month! Leave me alone!"

"I don't care about you? Don't eat with me if you have the ability! Eat to death!" The old lady seemed incoherent with anger, "I will eat and eat, and don't do what I'm looking for. It’s fine for you to fool around like a dog, but you never got a penny back! I just raised a dog, and he should grow strong after eating shit, you’re not even as good as a dog, you beast!”

Old and strong, imposing like a rainbow, the old lady is mighty.

Xu Zhonglei couldn't sit still, "I'll go out and have a look."

The boss and Xiaozhi were playing outside, and a dirty little girl was staring at them, Xu Zhonglei asked, "Do you want to touch them?"

The little girl stared at him for a while with dark eyes, then nodded.

"Little paper!"

Little Paper Pidianpidian ran over, grinning, looking very happy.Xu Zhonglei hugged Xiaozhi's legs, stroked Xiaozhi's hair from head to back, and Xiaozhi licked Xu Zhonglei's neck with his mouth.Xu Zhonglei motioned the little girl to touch Xiaozhi's back, she stretched out her hand cautiously, brushed Xiaozhi's hair lightly, and smiled.

"How old are you? What's your name?"

"I'm four years old, and my name is Xu Xiaoyun." Xiaoyun didn't seem to be very good at talking, and jumped out word by word.

Xu Zhonglei noticed that the little girl was wearing a floral skirt that was one size too big, and the buttons were not buttoned properly.

"Who bought your clothes? It's so beautiful."

"My mother bought my clothes." Xiaoyun stood up, wanting him to see her skirt clearly.

"This is my daughter, you haven't seen Shitou yet, have you? Xiaoyun, call me uncle!"

Xu Tianci's voice came from behind, and it seemed that the quarrel was over soon.

"Uncle." Xiaoyun immediately stood up when he heard the voice, his voice was thin, and he looked very timid.

"What are you talking about with a little girl, you raised this dog?"

Xu Zhonglei stood up and said, "Yes, I bought it here."

"It's developed. I can't afford to raise people, let alone a dog."

Xu Zhonglei could hear the sourness in his words, and he didn't know how to answer. He felt that it was a mistake for him to come out today, so he planned to leave.

"Hua Niu, I'll go to see Uncle's house, let's go first!"

"Hey, stay and eat!" The old lady came out of the kitchen.

"Not yet, I don't want to trouble you old man, Xiaozhi, boss, let's go!"

"Come and walk more!"

Xu Zhonglei ran out almost as if escaping. He was used to living alone, so he really couldn't bear such a bad mood.

Uncle's grandfather's family has always been a single family. When there was no family planning, they only gave birth to one child, his uncle, Xu Guangming.Uncle is not good-looking, very short, and has a submissive personality, he just listens to his mother.So I have been unable to find a wife.Their family had saved money for a long time, and only spent tens of thousands of bride price to find a daughter-in-law from an inland province, and gave birth to their eldest grandson Xu Tianci.

Xu Tianci grew up in a honeypot and was doted on by a womanizer. Among other things, the name "Xu Tianci" was chosen by a fortune teller.Xu Tianci is two years older than him, and now it seems that he has been raised badly.

Xu Zhonglei thought worriedly: I don't know how Xiaoyun's life is going?

Xu Zhonglei followed the path through the hill to the other side of the hill, where his second destination was—the aunt's house that he didn't know the origin of.

Children follow the adults to visit, most of them call whatever they want, and run away after grabbing snacks after shouting, busy playing with the children.

As for the seniority of the "aunt", "uncle" and "uncle", I couldn't figure it out at first, not to mention that in a small mountain village, all the families are relatives, and Xu Zhonglei was also confused.Just yell casually, if you make a mistake, adults will correct it.

The experience at Aunt Xia's house was much better than that at Huayu's house. Although he accidentally broke into the Shura field where women were playing cards while counting money loudly and blaming each other, he did not fall into a scolding battle.

Moreover, the group of women finally shook hands and made peace, asking about him, the "rich man" who "resigned and went home".

Of course, after being asked about his age, marital status, savings, annual income, girlfriend, family relationship, and real estate, he also ran away.

These women really have no sense of boundaries. Xu Zhonglei feels like he has become meat on a chopping board, with no privacy at all.

It became a tool for their gossip.

After these two games, Xu Zhonglei's good impression of the countryside has completely disappeared. He only hopes that he can complete the task of "showing his face" and return to his fortress.

That's probably where social anxiety comes from.

Fortunately, when Xu Zhonglei realized that he no longer needed to act as a perfect child in front of his parents, he was also free.

They went to every house in the village, and they only stayed for a few minutes at each house. They said hello and called someone before leaving. They walked so quickly that they even caught up with Xiaozhi and the boss's second meal after walking around.

It's better to go home!

In order to celebrate the successful completion of today's task, Xu Zhonglei decided to reward himself.

He cooked half a pot of rice with an electric rice cooker, cut the bacon and intestines that he brought when Sister Liu was cooking, into small pieces, and went to his own vegetable garden to get some cabbage hearts, lettuce leaves, and sweet potato leaves. Fry it, then pour it into the cooked rice, press the cooking button to simmer for a while, and a pot of fragrant rice is ready!

Xu Zhonglei looked at the vlogger's weight as if it were light, and the finished product was greedy.However, there is no garlic sprouts and no meat in the cover code of fried pork with garlic sprouts. Xu Zhonglei always feels that the taste is a bit wrong.

Fortunately, as long as you join Laoganma, any weird smell can be cured.

Xu Zhonglei lived a very regular life. Every morning, he spent an hour walking the dog all over the village, teaching Xiaozhi and the boss to use modified sleds to help carry things, receiving various express delivery, and watching his bank card balance drop. , making a dog house and a cat house for the three of the family, even though the three never lived.Build a glass greenhouse in the yard, water the shallots, ginger, potatoes, garlic, and sweet potatoes in the greenhouse on time every day, shop for treasures at night, add items to my shopping list, and cross off items one by one.

"618" is the craziest day for Xu Zhonglei to spend money. He has already prepared the best combination for shopping allowances and full store discounts. Anyway, he finally ordered 10 Bosideng winter extreme cold long down jackets and 10 goose down hooded down jackets. Thick style for extreme cold in winter, 10 explosive down jackets, more than 100 pairs of underwear of various brands, different prices, and different shapes, 20 pieces of professional mountaineering windproof and waterproof clothing, 300 pairs of hiking shoes, sports shoes, and large cotton shoes. I bought [-] pairs of Decathlon thick socks directly, and I bought a full set of down bedding, duvets, etc., and bought [-] sets each.

Xu Zhonglei also directly buys medicines that do not require a doctor's prescription, such as anti-chilblain medicine, frostbite medicine, cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, various granules, vitamins, and Xu Zhonglei's rhinitis medicine, all in boxes.

The 100 bags of rice that he bought before looked like a lot, but in fact there was not much to pile up, so Xu Zhonglei placed an order for another 100 bags. He also bought rice piecemeal in the county town, and put more than 50 bags in the basement.

There are also all kinds of dry goods, such as dried shrimps, shrimp skins, kelp, seaweed, scallops, dried shrimps, dried squids, and dried cuttlefish. Xu Zhonglei also buys them in 40 catties to 50 catties. I bought 200 catties, and I was afraid that I would not be able to eat it in the future.

There are also all kinds of machinery, such as steel furnaces that heat up in the glass shed, barbecue machines, flour mills, mixers, noodle machines, and dryers. Xu Zhonglei bought all the machines that he thought were useful.

This "618" passed, and Xu Zhonglei's money was only about 50 yuan.

In addition, Xu Zhonglei also rented a house in the county to collect things.He kept placing a large number of orders, and Taobao customer service called him several times. Xu Zhonglei felt that even if he spent money, he had to be more careful, so he secretly borrowed Xu Zhiping and Liu Jie's Taobao to buy things. Fortunately, these two people He didn't say anything, just sighed with hatred.
