Apocalyptic Tundra Age

"Oh, I can't hide my identity anymore." Xu Zhonglei said to Cheng Yuming boringly when he got home.

"Huh? You're not a fool, are you?" Cheng Yuming was busy feeding the chickens, and complained for a while after hearing the incomprehensible words.

"Look, even the people next to me don't know me." Xu Zhonglei turned and went back to the room, "This shows that my identity is hidden too well."

No wonder there are always people who are keen to stimulate the fragile psychology of ordinary people. If nothing else, they just pretend to run away, refreshed.

The snowy weather of more than minus 30 degrees outside is not acceptable to human beings. Xu Zhonglei went back to the living room to relax for a while before he recovered.

"I think those vegetable seedlings are almost grown. Let's transplant them to the mushroom house in the afternoon?" Cheng Yuming packed up the chicken coop and followed into the living room. The first thing he did was to take off his coat. The smell of poultry made him feel sick. Don't want to glance at your coat.

"What's your smell?" It was smelly, and the smell was sublimated when it was stimulated by the heat.

"Your precious chicken!" Cheng Yuming saw Xu Zhonglei's disgusted look, and his voice became louder, "The heavy snow hasn't stopped, so I killed them. It's too cold now, and there are not many eggs."

"Ah, you reminded me, how many eggs do you have now?" Xu Zhonglei remembered an important thing.

"How many eggs can I have?" Cheng Yuming:? ? ?

"Ah bah, don't drive casually. I said hatching eggs, do you know fertilized eggs? Can hatch? Eggs that can turn from a pile of eggs into a group of chickens."

"I don't know, you're making things difficult for me. I know how to eat and cook, and I've never hatched eggs before." Cheng Yuming spread his hands, which really touched his blind spot of knowledge, "You can only do this, just recently I don’t eat much eggs, so I’ve saved about twenty, and I’ll bring them all for you, and let’s analyze them.”

"..."

"Can you see it?" Cheng Yuming asked curiously as he watched Xu Zhonglei turn the egg back and forth, left, right, left, right, and right.

"I can't see it, it feels a little different, but it feels the same." Xu Zhonglei put the two eggs back on his hands, "I haven't been trained, so I can't help it. We just happen to go there at night and ask the old man if he has any experience. ?”

"Over there" is Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming's abbreviation for the place where the big troops in the village live.

"What else is there to do?"

"Eh..." Xu Zhonglei remembered, and ran away after pretending, without telling Cheng Yuming about the cause and effect.

*

"You said, you and Brother Zhiping decided to take the lead in organizing everyone to resume production, and also sent four more wind turbines over? Is that what you mean? Did I hear you right?" Cheng Yuming organized his words.

"Yes."

"You still have four wind turbines?! Damn, then I was worried for nothing a while ago. I heard that you are a landlord. Sure enough, the rumors are not unfounded." Cheng Yuming thought it was going to demolish the four wind turbines outside One generator, just right, two on the roof, two on the roof of the vegetable house, or there is another possibility, there are many, many generators in the basement, so these four are nothing at all?

"Hahaha, there are still generators, and there are plenty of them. You are right to say that I am a landlord!" Xu Zhonglei was proud.

Cheng Yuming shook his head and was speechless.

He was a little sad. When he thought about it rationally, he felt that his sadness was unreasonable, but emotionally, he felt that he was hurt.

He can see the abundance of food in the house and the energy of the five rooms outside. If something is missing, Xu Zhonglei can go to the basement to find it, and he hasn't avoided it yet.

He thought that Xu Zhonglei would tell him something based on his friends who had been here for three months and would take root here in the future, such as what was in the basement, and also, it was Yupei space, rebirth, old man with white beard, or something else Fortuitous encounter, let Xu Zhonglei make these preparations?

He thought that his employer, his friend, and his savior were different to him, and one day he would be able to share something with him that he didn't say before, but now, you haven't said anything to me yet, How did you expose yourself to others?

This hypocritical sour feeling lingered in Cheng Yuming's internal organs, as if the iron buddy he thought had another even stronger friend.

"Originally it's all yours, and I'm also your long-term worker. I don't have any opinion on what you decide... go to the meeting at night... okay..."

Cheng Yuming rationally told him not to say that.It's too sour, too awkward, like an angry child deliberately said to his parents "I know you don't like me, and you don't care about me";

The child thought that his parents would hug him to comfort him and tell him "Mom and Dad are wrong, and Mom and Dad care about you", but this child can only get an even more angry response from his parents, just like what Cheng Yuming is looking forward to now.

"No, this is awkward to say, why do you still want to cry?" Xu Zhonglei felt awkward when he heard Cheng Yuming's response, seeing his drooping eyelashes and trembling eyelids, this was Cheng Yuming's reaction of wanting to cry, he had seen it several times This time, this person is two years younger than him and cries much more easily than him.

"No, I'll go to see the seedlings, dig some holes on the vegetable shelf, cook later when I come back, and go there for a meeting after dinner."

Cheng Yuming silently put on his chicken shit-smelling coat and went out to do errands.

Xu Zhonglei:? ? ?This is angry?why are you mad?Didn't tell him that he sent the generator out?Cheng Yuming is not too stingy, so he shouldn't be angry about this kind of thing, he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, men are so difficult to understand.

After Xu Zhonglei thought about it, he finally put the reason on the fact that others were not willing to give away the engine.

The atmosphere at dinner was quite stagnant, and the two of them ate without talking.

"Well, I thought about it, and what do you think, how many less generators should we give?" Xu Zhonglei, as the eldest brother, decided not to argue with the younger brother, and he had to do this kind of thing to break the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Um..." Cheng Yuming felt that there was something wrong with Xu Zhonglei's direction of efforts.

"Well, I know you're angry," Xu Zhonglei said, wanting to fight for his own well-being. As a team manager, it is necessary to properly understand the family situation and psychological state of his teammates to maintain group harmony. "What do you want? Said, if you have any questions, you can ask, we are both grasshoppers on the same boat, so we need to clarify something.”

"Hmm..." Cheng Yuming was sure. Xu Zhonglei's understanding was already a thousand miles away. How could he answer when someone talked to him with an attitude towards work?I'm jealous, I'm scared, I want to know about you, I think you're too rusty for me?Let's forget about this kind of emotional analysis, and it doesn't feel right when I think about it.

"Well, let me demonstrate first, and I must explain to you my motivation and reason for doing this.

In fact, it was because of the volcanic eruption. The volcanic eruption in 1785 directly led to decades of cold weather around the world, a significant reduction in crop production, and the earth entered a small ice age; That volcanic eruption was even more serious.So, you know, I did some preparations for this very likely ice age. "

Cheng Yuming stopped worrying about his emotions and listened to Xu Zhonglei's analysis of his own motives.

"I bought a lot of energy, fuel, food, and clothing, except that you haven't been to the basement, I didn't hide those things from you, and those things are not the point.

The point is, all the resources I have now are limited, and we have to find resources to supplement them from other places.

And the way to obtain resources: hunting in the mountains, fishing in the rivers, planting in the fields, and facing possible competition from outside forces, these are not things that the two of us can accomplish by ourselves.

So, before, I did everything possible to let people in our village dig heated kangs and build cold-resistant houses; now I want to use this method of labor tool support to let everyone farm and let most people in our village survive. "

Xu Zhonglei put down the bowl and chopsticks, indicating that the conversation was over and the meal was finished, he stared at Cheng Yuming's face and said: "This is what I think, in fact, even if Xu Zhiping doesn't say anything, I have to find a way to make it happen. When there is a shortage of food, it will be impossible for the people in our village to live in peace, and the fire will even be set on us. This is internal friction, and everyone is waiting to die together."

A look of shame appeared on Cheng Yuming's face, which was quickly replaced by a smile: "Brother, then why are you here? I remember that the big volcanic eruption was before New Year's Day last year. Before that time, all preparations were made. ? I think one month is far from enough to prepare these things.”

Xu Zhonglei was able to explain to him well, and Cheng Yuming felt that he was already the child whose parents said "Mom and Dad are wrong, Mom and Dad love you". He was already calm, and even a little happy and proud. Tangled with him for a long time.

It's... hard to say, really hard to say.Xu Zhonglei was silent.

"Brother, have you been banned by the will of the world, or drawn a talisman by a great immortal? Or is it the rebirth that is common in novels?" Cheng Yuming still has some reservations about the plot of the novel.

Xu Zhonglei smiled mysteriously: "Have you heard that there is a type of people called those who are born knowing?"

Cheng Yuming was instantly excited: "Are you? Brother? No, no, no, you are not my brother, you are my father!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not. I just want to tell you that there are such people. Let's go out, son, we're going to be late."

***

In this meeting, although the two are one of the protagonists, the focus of the debate is not on the two of them, but on the distribution.The distribution of labor and the distribution of results are issues that can detonate the atmosphere at any time.

Xu Zhonglei decided that he and Cheng Yuming would not participate in labor, but only pay dividends.So these arguments have nothing to do with him.His own family can't grow enough food, so there is really no need to compete with the villagers for jobs. They just came to make up the numbers and see the final result by the way.

After arguing for half the night, I finally decided to distribute according to the original suggestion, follow the historical method, establish a work point system, more points for more work, less points for less work, and points for laziness.Due to the means of production provided by Xu Zhonglei and Xu Zhiping, the other 33/[-] of the harvested crops will be divided.

Xu Zhonglei thought that someone would jump out and say that the distribution was unfair, why Xu Zhonglei could not do things, etc., but the prickly head of the village seemed to be a lot more docile recently, and even the old men and women who loved to say "wise words" kept silent, It made Xu Zhonglei feel puzzled.

"Brother, are you underestimating your wind turbine?" Cheng Yuming answered Xu Zhonglei's doubts, "What's the benefit of fighting against you? Push your resources to other places? People are realistic, who treats themselves It is beneficial, and I will obey someone immediately. Look at me, Dad! I want to go to the basement to see!"

"No need, really no need... son... let's go home and hatch the chicken first!"

I asked Uncle Guosheng about the strategy of hatching chickens. The experience of the older generation generally likes to be expressed in mysticism. The "feeling", "black spots", "weight" and "feel" are all experiences that are temporarily unusable. Xu Zhonglei hatched [-] litters of chickens before he could feel it. In the end, Xu Zhonglei made his own conclusion: God knows whether the eggs were fertilized or not. Anyway, find rough eggshells and let the hens lay them.

After five days, you can take advantage of the hen not paying attention, such as when it is resting, eating and drinking, and take a strong flashlight to shine on it. At that time, the fertilized egg inside the eggshell will become completely different, and embryonic tissue will appear. At this time, take out the normal eggs and fry them to eat.

A new interpretation of the experience of the older generation, whether it is suitable or not, try it at home.
