Infinite Disaster Survival

Wen Zheng contacted the construction team in advance and started work immediately after the temperature dropped, which caused a lot of discussion among the villagers.

Nowadays, people are running outside, and when children grow up, they have to buy houses and get married outside. The village occasionally renovates houses, but it is only a small-scale renovation. But the noise Wen Zheng made is almost the same as tearing down and rebuilding.

Now, even if the father and son come up with any reason, they can't avoid being labeled as stupid.

No matter what people say outside, Wen Zheng and Tuantuan are busy explaining to the construction team how to repair the house.

The solar generator installed before was temporarily moved to a new location, but it can still continue to supply power.

The room was renovated into two floors, and the roof and walls were covered with insulation. The overall area was reduced, and the eaves extended to form a courtyard like a house. The original plants in the yard were basically retained, and some seeds of climbing crops were planned to be sown under the corners of the wall.

A basement was built underground that was enough for two people to live in. When Wen Zheng first made this request, the local construction team he found originally suggested that it was not necessary. There are abundant water veins here. In the past, the most important thing for building a house was to do waterproofing. If a basement was really built, it would definitely be very humid.

However, under Wen Zheng's strong insistence, the construction team was reluctant to refuse the work that was not easy to accept, and started construction according to the drawings. Then they realized something was wrong.

The construction team knows as much about soil as farmers, but the direction of understanding is different. Since the temperature has been so high since the beginning of summer this year that it is difficult for them to construct, they have not received any work for more than two months.

When digging the space for the basement here in Wen Zheng, it was found that the deep soil had changed significantly compared with previous experience.

The dryness of the soil is a bit too high.

The workers will inevitably chat about these things during their breaks, and the villagers who come to watch the excitement will mention them in their words, but most people don't take this matter to heart, and only a few sensitive people have a sense of trepidation.

The main body of the house is slowly being rebuilt. The room that was previously used as a warehouse is not within the scope of the reconstruction, and is temporarily used by Wen Zheng and Tuantuan as a bedroom.

In the months from late autumn to winter, the temperature is generally slowly dropping, and there have been a few light rains during this period. During this period, the house was renovated, decorated, and smelled. It was not until half a month before the New Year that Wen Zheng and Tuantuan moved into the renovated house.

It stands to reason that building a new house in the village requires entertaining guests, but Wen Zheng still invited several chefs in the village who are good at cooking to help, and directly set up a farmhouse banquet in the village.

It happened to be the winter vacation. Wen Zheng was responsible for entertaining adults, and Tuantuan was responsible for entertaining children. Villagers wearing thin sweaters arrived one after another.

It was obviously the end of the year, but the temperature was still at a level of more than 20 degrees. At this time of year in previous years, the outdoor temperature basically dropped below ten degrees, and even rain and snow would fall in a few days.

The best thing about the current temperature is that when setting up a banquet outdoors, the temperature will not be so high that people will be sunburned, and it will not be so low that the food will quickly become cold.

"This year's winter is warm." Someone sat at the table and sighed that it was winter but it didn't feel like winter at all.

"Recently, the news has been broadcasting news about this. It seems that the temperature in the whole world is higher than before. Next year may be as hot as this summer."

"The temperature has been rising year by year. When we were young, it snowed heavily in January. It's just that the temperature rose too fast this year."

"I heard from my grandson that people on the Internet are saying that the world is coming to an end. It seems that many people are reading a doomsday survival guide and plan to stock up according to the list in it."

"What is the end of the world? My son and daughter often remind me not to believe those messy rumors on the Internet. You don't really believe them, do you?" Someone laughed and said, "I remember that your family robbed several sacks of salt a few years ago, and they were flooded before they could finish eating them. You want to repeat the same mistake this year."

"What year did it happen? It's amazing that you still remember it." The person being said rolled his eyes immediately, turned his head and stood up to visit the renovated house. However, the thoughts hidden in his heart were almost dispelled by this sentence.

We walked from the yard to the house and took a look around, focusing on the newly built basement, which was the first basement built in the village.

"Oh, it's a bit cold coming down from above suddenly. Wen Zheng, you did a good job of waterproofing. It's not damp at all. Do you plan to build this basement to store food in the future?"

"Store food when it's not hot. When the temperature rises to the level of this summer, you can live down there to escape the heat." Wen Zheng said with a smile.

The aunt, who was still recalling the scene of being confronted at the table, was startled. She glanced at Wen Zheng several times. When she came up from the basement after the visit, she couldn't help asking: "Wen Zheng, do you also think the end of the world is coming soon?"

"Tuantuan and I think that next year will be more difficult than this summer, so we want to prepare in advance."

Difficult... Difficult...

Wasn't the power outage this summer difficult? If it will be more serious tomorrow, should she persuade her husband and children to make some preparations?

Those who were thinking about problems in their heads still found it difficult to swallow the food even though the banquet prepared today was quite rich.

The banquet passed with everyone's different and complicated thoughts. The children in the village who were on vacation were happy to stay here and help Tuantuan.

It’s passed again, and the final exam results and rankings for the fall semester have come out. The parents of the students in the village couldn't believe their ears when they heard their children's results reported on their mobile phones. They picked up their mobile phones and called the teacher.

Yes, in the recent semester, my children were no longer called to school because of poor performance. The scores in several tests were not low. The teacher also said that the children's grades had improved, but they did not expect that they would be able to take the test at the end of the semester. Such good results.

After making the phone call and getting a definite answer from the teacher, parents couldn't help but think about the reasons for the improvement in their children's grades. The biggest variable this semester was Wen Ling, who took a break from school to recuperate in the village.

We must express our gratitude to Wen Zheng and Wen Ling, the father and son. If anyone in the village accuses the father and son of being stupid, they will help him and send them back. The fresh vegetables grown at home and the delicious food made will be sent back to the children.

They all asked with concern whether the condition of Tuantuan's eyes had improved. In the end, they were told that it had improved, but they still planned to recuperate for another semester before going to school.

After the new year, the parents of those children came to give New Year gifts, probably to express their gratitude to Tuantuan. The gifts they sent actually included high school exercise books purchased after consulting the teacher.

This was something Tuantuan never expected. Seeing that the old people still planned to give him such gifts, he immediately thought about how to divert the attention of these old people, and waved his hand to call the younger brothers in front of him.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and the temperature finally dropped to more than ten degrees. The elderly and children put on slightly thicker clothes.

However, those down jackets that are only worn in winter continue to be hung in the closet. There is no chance to wear them out this year, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is further reduced this year.

The snow that comes in previous years has not fallen, and I always feel that this year has not been complete enough.

As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year. This may not be suitable for every place, but for Dongxi Village, which has several snowfalls every winter, the winter without snow makes a few people gather together with heavy faces during the New Year. .

Farmers rely on the weather to make a living, and old people who have been farming fields all their lives can detect something amiss with their rich experience.

In the first few days of the first month of the first lunar month, after celebrating the New Year with several familiar families in the village, Wen Zheng and Tuantuan began to attack their own land.

They directly purchased a small multi-functional seeder. Wen Zheng ran to get a posture certificate without saying a word, planning to spend two days sowing several acres of land.

"It's only been a few months since the seeds were planted? Wen Zheng, what did you plant this time?" A villager heard the noise and saw Wen Zheng busy in the field, and asked in surprise.

The village usually starts planting rice only in the middle of the month, and Wen Zheng did not irrigate it that day. It has taken more than half a year to completely transform the paddy fields into dry fields. It is not clear what to plant, but it will not be rice anyway.

"Uncle, there is no way to tell which month it is now. At least the temperature now is suitable for sowing." Not even a few days after the end of the year, the temperature began to show an upward trend.

Wen Zheng is certain that this year's high temperature will come earlier and higher than last year. If we don't plant seeds while the temperature is still low, we may not be able to harvest in summer.

Wen Zheng didn't need to waste any more words. The village chief came over. He just stared at Wen Zheng's skillful operation of agricultural machinery for a long time, and listened to the conversation between the two.

"Wen Zheng, do you think it's time to sow seeds at this time?" the village chief said with a serious face.

"Yes, actually, I think it's a little late for me to sow seeds now."

The village chief took out a cigarette from his ear, lit it and took a deep breath. He slowly squatted down in the smoke and reached out to grab a handful of soil.

Wen Zheng continued to operate in silence, finished the task of this acre of land, and stopped next to the village chief's location.

After smoking a cigarette, the village chief crushed the cigarette butt, put it into his pocket, stood up, patted the soil on his hands, and asked Wen Zheng, "Tell me what seeds you planted."

The next day, the village chief notified the less than 100 households currently living in the village to hold a meeting, suggesting that everyone start sowing as soon as possible and change the main crops grown this year.

The villagers who came to attend the meeting were immediately in an uproar. Someone asked at the top of their lungs: "Village Chief, is this a notice from above?"

"This is just the result of discussions between the village committee and several uncles, so it is just a suggestion, not a mandatory requirement."

The meeting continued normally. Wen Zheng was also called to the stage to introduce a variety of drought-resistant and high-temperature crops. After the lecture, willing villagers were asked to sign up voluntarily. The village committee will contact the agricultural machinery rental shop tomorrow according to the order of registration. .

Many villagers are hesitant. Changing the crops they grow sounds simple. This change is about changing past experience. In fact, there are many difficulties to be faced.

They have never planted the crops Wen Zheng explained, and they need to start from scratch. In case it is not as the village chief and others feared, the situation during the New Year is not that serious, and it will still be like the past many years, with heavy rains in summer.

Once you make the wrong choice, the initial investment and at least half a year of hard work will be in vain.
