After nuclear sewage, I can hear the voices of plants

Back at the farmhouse, the fermentation time of doenjang is about 40 days. At that time, it happens to be the time when the vegetables in the front yard are ripe. In another week, the vegetables in the front yard will be edible, and some of the ginger smoke can be picked and prepared. Making pickles will keep them longer.

A large part of the vegetables in the greenhouse can be eaten by Jiang Yan. A few vegetables grown can bring a ridge of seeds, and the rest will be eaten by Jiang Yan.

The ratio of sowing to eating is about six to four, eating six and leaving four.

Compared with the vibrant greenhouse, the front yard of the farm is like Jiang Yan's father's forehead, bare without any plants. The backyard is much better than the front yard, at least there are some fruit trees to retain dignity.

Taking out the sledge, Jiang Yan cleaned the chaotic vegetable leaves in the courtyard. These vegetable leaves were all kinds of vegetables that had lost their vitality in the winter. Before it snowed, Jiang Yan could collect these dry vegetable leaves. As a source of fire.

After 10 minutes of work, Jiang Yan had already cleaned up the mess in the front yard and brought it to the side of the firewood pile. Jiang Yan picked up a wooden board nearby to separate the vegetable leaves and firewood.

The Lu sisters in the backyard also finished cleaning the backyard at this time. Unlike Jiang Yan, the Lu sisters did not choose to bring the vegetable leaves over, but burned them on the spot in the backyard.

The cold wind blew out the last bit of fire. Looking at the ashes of burned vegetation all over the ground, the Lu sisters stomped out the last sparks and returned to the front yard.

The temperature is now close to ten degrees below zero, and the ice has frozen the ground as hard as cement. He took out various containers such as iron basins and buckets from the storage room. Jiang Yan stacked them next to the well, then shook the handle to start Fetch water.

Pots of water were poured into iron containers. These iron containers were used by Jiang Yan to freeze ice in the ice cellar. Although he didn't know how much ice the ice cellar needed, for Jiang Yan, the more the better. .

One day and one night, the water turned into solid ice. Pushing the cart, Jiang Yan put the ice in the icehouse, and then filled the bucket with well water.

Jiang Yan continued this behavior throughout the winter, until ice of various shapes filled the cold storage to the point where there was no space left.

Time gradually passed, and winter was longer than summer. The biggest reason was because Jiang Yan and the others did not need to do anything.

There was food in the greenhouse, hot water was boiling in the living room, and the indoor temperature was kept at less than [-] degrees. Sitting on the kang, Jiang Yan and the other three were bored.

Various chess and cards have become the main pastime for the three of them. Lu Linlin's chess skills are so high that later on, Jiang Yan and Lu Lili stopped playing chess with the latter, and even gave up five pawns and a single player. A point where even sidecars, horses and artillery are useless.

Under this situation, Jiang Yan had to find some new ways to play, until they found mahjong in the storage room.

The emergence of mahjong has become the biggest pastime besides hunting. Although there are no dice, the three of them still play with enthusiasm even though they don't know the specific rules.

The rules of the game all depended on Jiang Yan's old memories and various temporary changes. Even in the later stages, Jiang Yan and the other three even wrote out a mahjong rule sheet and posted it on the wall.

It not only includes the ways of playing cards, but also various types of cards.

Playing mahjong for three people brought some fun back to the boring life. Touching the shiny mahjong, Jiang Yan finally understood why when she was young, the elders in the village liked to play mahjong in the winter. It turned out that it was just like other people’s curses. of.

"Mud! Mix it up!" Pushing the mahjong into her hand, Lu Linlin excitedly announced her card type.

Looking at Lu Linlin's cards in shock, Jiang Yan and Lu Lili, whose faces were full of black stripes, widened their eyes in disbelief. Since they started playing mahjong, Jiang Yan and the others had not had any sex on their faces. Whoever loses will be punished. Their faces were painted with black charcoal, so that the three of them were now as black as those who had fled from Africa.

"You two go together!"

Taking out her charcoal strip, Lu Linlin drew a stroke on the faces of Jiang Yan and Lu Linlin. The black charcoal blackened the last clean spot on Jiang Yan's face. Seeing that there was no place to draw on her face, Jiang Yan was angry. left the table. "Stop playing and go out to cook!"

Jiang Yan's angry departure made the Lu sisters couldn't help but chuckle. However, when they turned around and saw the dark-faced opponent, the Lu sisters finally couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The laughter in the bedroom made Jiang Yan couldn't help but blush. She was the one who started clamoring to play chess, but was killed by Lu Linlin. Then she was the one who wanted to play mahjong, and then she was also killed. Keep.

"Is your brain so smart?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but muttered when she came to the door.

There is the last fish left at home, and there happens to be some dried mushrooms. Jiang Yan is going to stew some fish soup at noon today.

Pushing open the door to the living room, Jiang Yan raised her head and suddenly realized that it was snowing.

Pieces of tiny snowflakes slowly drifted away like fluff, and the whole world became quiet at this moment. The originally howling wind became gentle, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"Snowing!"

The hot breath he exhaled turned into white mist and dissipated in it. Looking at the snowflakes outside the door, Jiang Yan shouted excitedly into the house.

There was only a crackling sound in the house, and then the Lu sisters, who had not even put on their shoes properly, pulled their clothes and came to the living room. They stared at the door tightly and saw the falling snowflakes. The Lu sisters beside Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"It's so beautiful."

A piece of snowflake drifted into the door, staring at the lost snowflake. Lu Linlin stretched out her hand to try to catch the lost child. However, the moment she touched it, the snowflake disappeared instantly, leaving a little bit of coldness etched on Lu Linlin's face. heart.

"finish dressing."

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Yan closed the door, and the three of them got dressed in a hurry. Then each of them held a cup of hot tea and sat on the chairs in front of the farmhouse.

When it snows, it won’t be too cold, it will even be warmer than usual. The really cold time is when the snowflakes start to melt. At that time, there is a chill in the sky and the earth. It feels like walking in ice water. , not the kind of dry cold, but the feeling that every wind is like an ice flow.

Sitting on the chairs, the three of them stared blankly in front of them. The snowflakes covered the roughness of the earth bit by bit, and then showed a gentle and rounded feeling.

The snowflakes grew from small to large, and in the end they even felt like hitting my head. Each snowflake was like flying fluff, thick and soft. I stretched out my hand to take one, and the snowflake was even bigger than my fingertips.

"Hoohoo!"

After blowing the cold tea, Jiang Yan sat on the chair and took a sip of hot tea. The Lu sisters on the side also came to their senses and took a gentle sip.

The overwhelming snow completely obscured the sight of the three of them, and even Jiang Yan could not see clearly on the other side of the cement road.
