Surviving Endless Disasters

Wu Han from Wen Zheng's dormitory also went out with his son Wu Xin. The lively scene at the contact point was somewhat helpful to Wu Xin's situation.

Before leaving, I asked everyone, and finally the Huang brothers went out together.

"Brother Wen, did I handle it correctly?" Qian Yu was learning how to prepare Chinese herbal medicine with Wen Zheng. He had never been exposed to it before, and his face was full of excitement.

Tuantuan was sitting next to Wen Zheng. After hearing this, he turned his head and glanced: "No problem.

"Qian Yu scratched his head and continued his work happily.

"Xiao Ling, look what Uncle Jin has brought for you.

"A familiar voice came from outside the door. Lao Jin was carrying a bamboo basket behind him and shouted with a big smile.

"Brother Jin, you came to see us again.

"Qian Yu hurriedly greeted him.

Tuantuan was still sitting on the small stool with a calm expression. Seeing the calm expressions of both father and son, Lao Jin stopped showing off and put the bamboo basket behind him on the ground and lifted the cloth on it: "Think, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump." Two large thin-skinned watermelons.

" "watermelon! "Qian Yu took the watermelon out of the basket with bright eyes, touching the green pattern of the watermelon as if touching some treasure.

Watermelon is not a treasure nowadays. In the past, if you wanted to eat it, you could go to the supermarket. Now, you are more likely to dream of eating it.

Transportation was so convenient in the past. In places suitable for growing watermelons, delicious watermelons were sent to various places by vehicle every year. Those with bad taste were not even easy to sell.

The local soil is not suitable for growing watermelons, so a few people are growing it for their own consumption, and now the price has gone up.

“The value of watermelons here is quite high.

"Wen Zheng looked at Lao Jin.

Lao Jin chuckled: "This is the watermelon planted by my father-in-law, and it's a family price. If you feel sorry for it, go and help harvest the peanuts in a few days."

"Okay, so they are waiting for us here."

Qian Yu teased Lao Jin, turned around, picked up the bucket in his hand, and ran out quickly, "Watermelon is best eaten chilled. I'll go get a bucket of well water."

" As soon as the cold well water arrived at the house, Lao Jin was about to put the watermelon in. Wen Zheng threw in the water purification tablets first.

“Brother, you are too particular.

"It's okay to be careful. You won't use those water purification tablets I gave you, right?" "Wen Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Lao Jin didn't live in the base and couldn't receive the water purification tablets distributed by the base. Wen Zheng had some extra bottles, so he gave Lao Jin two bottles to tell him not to bother him.

“After using it, my daughter supervises us every day and gave a bottle to my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s house.

"Lao Jin said quickly.

"Don't drink raw water in the wild yet. Yesterday, Brother Wen went up to the mountain to hunt, and there was a stream..." Anyway, I won't be able to eat watermelon for a while, so Qian Yu vividly told the story he heard.

When Wu Han and the others came back, they heard Qian Yu's final words.

Brother Huang added: "Just now we met the roommate of the man who drank water from the stream. He said that he still hasn't recovered yet and feels nauseated after eating anything. He probably has some psychological effects.

"As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Huang felt that he had said the wrong thing. There was a child with mental illness next to him. He looked over worriedly and saw Wu Xin seriously looking at the covered bucket and running over. As soon as he opened it, he turned around excitedly: "Dad, watermelon! "Lao Jin, you actually brought two watermelons over. Do you know how many contribution points these are worth?" "I'm not asking you to help me with my work. If I don't come up with something good, can you agree?" "Brother Jin, thank you very much."

"It's been frozen for a while. Let me get a knife and cut it open."

"This watermelon is so sweet. Who said we are not suitable for growing watermelons? I think we should plant several acres of watermelons."

""It would be great to build a few more large-scale pig farms, chicken farms, cattle farms, and duck farms.

"I started dreaming before it got dark..." On a hot summer day, sitting with relatives and friends, gnawing on cold watermelon, the sweet juice filling my mouth, I couldn't be happier.

Chapter 173 Picking peanuts in summer is not an easy job. You usually choose to sweat profusely in the fields in the early morning and night when the temperature is low.

Not only the people in Wenzheng's dormitory, but also several companies in nearby villages asked people from the base to help, and they could choose peanuts or other things as compensation. Those who thought it was a good deal also came over.

Lao Jin did not watch them, but worked in the fields with them. When a cheerful voice sounded from the edge of the field, Lao Jin's wife shouted: "Lao Jin, come here, have a rest and drink some water."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Qian Yu ran to the field ridge quickly, picked up the cool bowl and started drinking.

Wen Zheng walked slowly behind and chatted with Lao Jin: "Lao Jin, you didn't say your peanut field is so big.

"After Lao Jin gave them watermelons last time, several people were thinking about pulling out peanuts. After waiting for a few days, they finally waited for a heavy rain and another day of sunshine. When the soil was soft and not too wet, the brothers started Run to Lao Jin's village.

When Lao Jin pointed out that he needed Wang Huo, everyone was dumbfounded.

This area is too big.

"This belongs to my family and my father-in-law. If it weren't for the large area, why would I need to find you? Brother, I can rule alone.

"Just brag."

" Qian Yu shouted, and everyone laughed.

Lao Jin drank a bowl of water in one breath and sat carelessly on the ridge of the field: "Brothers, how about you stay in the village for two days, and I will provide food, drink, and accommodation. We will work overtime at night and strive to be king in two days."

"I think it's okay. If we delay it for two more days, the ground will be hardened by the sun again, which is a waste of time."

"Brother Jin, do you want to pack some fruit?" "The two vines in the house are all yours."

"That night they worked until late at night, then returned to Lao Jin's house, took a quick shower and rested.

Lao Jin's house is a self-built house at the head of the village. It has three floors and a large yard with many fruit trees. It covers a large area and is sprayed with special insect repellent. It is a good idea to lie under the grapevines and watch the stars. A rare treat.

I used to feel nothing when I was busy in the city. Now I looked up at the sky and realized that I had not seen the starry night sky for a long time.

In the past, there were bright lights all around, covering the light of many stars. Occasionally, when I looked up at the sky, only a few stars dotted the night sky. I couldn't get back the feeling I had before.

Eating sweet and sour grapes in their mouths, enjoying the cool night breeze, looking at the stars and chatting, none of them went to the room, and lay on the mat in the yard and fell asleep.

Wen Zheng was the first to wake up. The moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, and the surrounding light was a little dim. The sounds of insects were so obvious, and distant sounds could also be vaguely heard.

Tuantuan Wenzheng sat up next to him and moved his nose. His keen sense of smell allowed him to get more news: "Dad, it smells of blood.

"It seems like something happened. It's going to be another sleepless night tonight. I hope it's just a minor incident.

However, things did not develop as Wen Zheng expected. The movement was getting closer, and a few rough sounds became clearly audible.

“Damn, they’re catching up.

"Go this way. There is a village in front of you. There is someone living in the first house at the entrance of the village."

"It's the end of the world, but it's still so difficult."

" Wen Zheng heard the cursing sounds of the group of people approaching. It sounded like they were being chased and were escaping into the village.

You can't tell whether they are good or bad based on these few words, although it is more likely that they are bad people.

If you met such a person in the middle of the night, you could call the police for help, but after a disaster, you have to rely on yourself.

Gently wake up the few friends around you, and ask the reluctant Tuantuan to take Wu Xin into the house. At the same time, let the elderly and children of the Jin family find a place to hide.
