Infinite Disaster Survival

Wen Zheng stayed in the cool room during the day and only went out when it was cool in the morning and evening. Every night, he would come out and stay near the card table set up in the village. He got a better understanding of the current relationship between the villagers.

Tuantuan followed Wen Zheng at first, but the children in the village were at home during the summer vacation. They were basically left-behind children. Occasionally, they would peek around to see the new little brother. The brave ones would take the initiative to invite Tuantuan to play with them.

After running around like this a few times, Tuantuan joined the children's group in the village. In just one day, he became the leader of the small group. All the children listened to Tuantuan's words, which were more effective than the words of their parents.

The rest of the village gradually learned about Tuantuan's current status. They didn't find out the reason from the children. When they talked to each other, they all praised Tuantuan for being smart. He deserved to be among the top students in the school every time he took the exam. Not only did they not delve into the specific situation, but they were also happy to see it happen. The children left behind in the village have no parents to take care of them. The old people are not energetic and physically strong enough, and they have no education, so they can't take care of the children at all. They also hope that Tuantuan, a good student, can help their children to make progress.

The high temperature for more than ten consecutive days finally dropped at the end of May. The temperature of 32 degrees is still within the normal summer temperature range. Wen Zheng knew that this was just a short break. The most important thing now is to take advantage of this short break to tidy up the land and sow another crop.

The Wen family's house is located at the foot of the mountain. There is a large pond in front of the gate. The original body learned to swim in it when he was a child. There are some wild lotus and water chestnuts in the pond. The temperature has been too high recently. The water level in the pond has dropped a lot, but the plants in it are still very energetic. Wen Zheng and Tuantuan cleared the weeds in the morning and evening when they are free. Now the lotus and water chestnuts have grown some flower buds, and it looks like they will mature earlier than in previous years.

A little further in front of the pond is a slope downhill, connected to the paths leading to various places in the village, and on both sides of the road are cultivated land. When the villagers distribute the land, they try to distribute it close to the residence unless there is really no suitable land. The six acres of land on both sides of the slope belong to Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan.

Dongxi Village has had a lot of rainfall in previous years, and has never encountered floods but never droughts, so the fields are basically paddy fields, and more rice is planted. In the past half month, the temperature has been high and there has been no rainfall. The ground is dry, but the villagers are not in a hurry at all. They take time out from morning to night to dig a gap in the ridge of the field. Whether it is the stream flowing down from the mountain or the several fish ponds dug in the village, the water source brought to the field is enough for the crops to absorb water.

Wen Zheng called the agricultural machinery rental shop in the town in advance, and as soon as the temperature dropped, he asked people to drive the machine to turn the land early in the morning and turn out all the weeds growing in it. The original paddy field had not been taken care of for several years. The high temperature in recent days has evaporated most of the water in the land. The water deep in the land is just suitable for sowing.

The six acres of paddy field has become dry land. Wen Zheng not only does not plant the common rice in the village, but also plants heat-resistant and drought-resistant crops. Two acres are planted with sweet potatoes, two acres are planted with sorghum, and two acres are planted with corn. The seeds used are all carefully selected and purchased by Wen Zheng. They are all varieties that are particularly resistant to high temperature and drought. The most important thing is that they can be saved.

The vegetable plots at the door were turned over at the same time. Wen Zheng bought some vegetable seeds that are also drought-resistant and high-temperature resistant, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, okra, cowpeas, and Chinese cabbage. Every household living in the village grows vegetables. There are people selling meat in the village, but there are few people selling vegetables. The green vegetables I eat after returning home have always been given by the villagers, so I still have to plant some as soon as possible.

The speed of machine planting is much faster than manual work. Even if I only work in the morning and evening, it doesn’t take a few days.

The people who came with the money and drove the agricultural machinery were obedient and didn't say much, but the villagers were different. Even though Wen Zheng lived at the foot of the mountain, a little far from the residential area of ​​the village, there were still people who went up the mountain to enjoy the cool air and passed by, and they would inevitably give some advice on Wen Zheng's farming.

The old people were all experienced farmers, and they had been planting flood-resistant crops for most of their lives. When they saw Wen Zheng planting some sweet potatoes and corn, they were afraid that the things they planted would not mature in the end, and they would encounter a series of heavy rains and all rot in the ground. This situation was something that no farmer wanted to see.

From the first day when Wen Zheng was discovered sowing, the news spread throughout the village in less than a day. Those who had a good relationship with Wen Zheng and those who were close to him by blood came to persuade him. Wen Zheng needed to slowly change the impression left by his original body, and it was really hard to refuse the good-intentioned persuasion of the elders, so he pushed Tuan Tuan out.

The knowledge learned in the head can be put forward at this time. Tuantuan walked out with a small blackboard. The appearance of a good student was enough to make the old people quiet down and listen to what he said.

So, the Wen family small classroom started.

Tuantuan first compared the temperature in previous years with the temperature in May and June this year. The intuitive figures obviously shocked the old people. Then came a series of terms that were not easy for the elderly to understand, such as greenhouse effect, global temperature rise, etc., plus the recent news was full of various high temperature warnings. The old people who like to watch the news on weekdays were confused by Tuantuan. In the end, they were dizzy and didn’t care about the father and son. It’s better to go home and chat.

"You are getting better and better at fooling people." After everyone left, Wen Zheng changed his simple expression and joked with Tuantuan.

"All of this is what my father taught me." Tuantuan hesitated for a few seconds, put down his hand holding the blackboard eraser, and moved the blackboard with the recent summer temperature outside the door.

Even if they are not very literate, they can basically recognize the numbers. Anyone who wants to talk to Wen Zheng again will have a headache when they see the blackboard standing at the door, and simply give up the idea. They don't believe what Tuantuan said, but they don't want to listen to so many words again.

No matter how reasonable Tuantuan's words sound, they believe in their own experience more. Even if it is a drought, how dry can it be here? The summer temperature in previous years is not low, but there will be at least several days of heavy rain. Wen Zheng is willing to listen to his son's planting, so let him plant these. After suffering a loss this year, he will not spoil his son next time.

No matter what the villagers said, Wen Zheng couldn't stop farming. It didn't rain in the first few days of sowing, so he led some water from the pond to irrigate the land. When the crops in the field sprouted, less water was needed. The vegetable field was connected to the tap at home with a water pipe, and it only needed to be irrigated once every evening.

After the experience of farming, Wen Zheng's image in the village changed again. He became the image of a father who doted on his son. Tuantuan became a good student but only knew the knowledge in books and was a little willful.

However, a few days later, this idea changed again because Tuantuan's high school entrance examination results came out. Those questions were not difficult for Tuantuan, but he didn't care about some of the prescribed details, which would deduct some points. In the end, he still got the top ten in the city and the first in the county in the high school entrance examination.

Even if it was not the most important college entrance examination, the county leaders and the school attached great importance to it. Not only did they inform Wen Zheng, the parent, of the good news in advance, but they also notified the village head of Dongxi Village.

Now the whole village knows about it. The topic about Wen Zheng and Tuantuan, the father and son, has not yet subsided, and it has completely boiled over again. No one said that Wen Zheng spoiled his children too much. Tuantuan is still willful, but it has become a lovely willfulness. When there is nothing to do at home, I tell the child to go to Wen Ling to play and learn more from Wen Ling. As a result, the child asked back.

"A few days ago, you said that you can't learn to mess around with Xiao Ling brother, why do you change now?" The children in the village admire Tuantuan from the bottom of their hearts. Naturally, they didn't listen to their parents and alienate Tuantuan. Now they want to help the eldest brother get back.

"Xiao Ling ranked first in the county in the high school entrance examination. Don't say you ranked first in the county. Even if you get first in the class, you will have all the fields in your family. Well, I will take out one acre for you to do whatever you want. I will give you whatever you want to plant." Even if I think that the children in the family will not be able to get such good results, I still can't bear to take out all the fields to promise.

"Grandma, I remember what you said. Grandpa, you heard it all, so you have to testify for me." The dark and thin little boy grinned.

"Grandpa will remember it for you. When my grandson really gets the first place in the exam, whatever you say will be planted by grandpa." The old man, who was also dark and thin, reached out and touched his grandson's hair, and hurriedly urged the child to eat. After the grandson buried his head, he looked at his wife, with smiles in his eyes, and hoped that there would really be such a day.

Tuantuan's good grades brought the Wen family several days of visitors, as well as calls from all sides. The junior high schools in the village, town, county and city all have rewards for good students, and there are also recruitment calls from high schools everywhere. Wen Zheng thought that he would not enjoy this excellent treatment as a parent, but now he has experienced it, and he is happy every day.

Even if he did not plan to let Tuantuan go to school, he still needed to choose a school. He directly agreed to the best high school in the city and enjoyed the treatment of free tuition and miscellaneous fees. Some news will be notified to the school after the start of school. Wen Zheng refused all the rewards from the village and the county. The reward for the high school entrance examination was not very high in itself, and it would be embarrassing if Tuantuan did not go to school later. He simply refused this part of the reward from now on, so Wen Zheng's image became more silly.

The crowds of people who came to visit gradually stopped. The temperature had just dropped to normal not long ago, and it suddenly rose to the highest value in previous years. The weather forecast issued high temperature warnings almost all over the country. As soon as the temperature rose, no one ran outside. The few people who came out went to the mountains to cool off. Wen Zheng's house at the foot of the mountain was shaded by many trees, and it was still a little hot enough to turn on the air conditioner.

One or two o'clock in the afternoon was the highest temperature. Wen Zheng and Tuantuan stayed in the house lazily and were unwilling to go out. They took their mobile phones and computers to browse the Internet for useful news. The two were thinking about posting a post on the Internet to find a way to reveal some information about the extremely high temperature in advance, and saw the new news popped up on the phone.

The finger that was about to swipe away just now stopped after seeing the familiar name of the community. Wen Zheng clicked on it and saw that a fire broke out in the community where he worked before at noon today, more than an hour ago. After searching on the Internet, more news appeared on the screen, with many recorded videos and current situation feedback.

The source of the fire in the earliest video was the electric vehicle charging tent in the community. According to speculation, the electric vehicle charging piles in the community were too densely set up. The vehicles would generate heat when charging. The recent temperature was so high that after a car exploded, the surrounding vehicles also exploded, igniting a fire together.

It just so happened that the electric car parking shed in the community was too close to the residential building, and there was a kitchen on the first floor next to it facing the carport. No one was at home at noon, and the kitchen window was not closed tightly. The flames rushed into the residential building along the carport and finally ignited the gas pipeline. At this point, the fire was completely out of control, and the fire spread rapidly from the bottom to the top.

Even if the fire department was called in time, it was difficult to control the growing fire when the fire department arrived, and the fire passage was occupied by debris, which also hindered the speed of rescue. Now the fire has not been extinguished, and it can be expected that there will be a lot of casualties.
