The farmer in the last days [farming]

Chapter 2 A Day in the Life of an Ordinary Person

Just after six o'clock on the alarm clock, Lin Xi woke up.He opened the curtains and stretched in the sunshine, after a quick wash and a good breakfast, he drove his small truck towards the building materials market.

As soon as I got downstairs and sat in the car, the cell phone on the co-pilot suddenly rang. Lin Xi looked at the cell phone in a daze for a long time, but the person on the other end of the phone was persistent. Slowly picked up the phone, took two deep breaths before answering the call.

As soon as the phone was connected, the person on the other end began to say: "It was my fault for arguing with you before, I apologize. You... can you stop being angry with me, we haven't contacted for a week..." The voice on the other end of the phone was originally It's just low, and the more you talk, the more wronged you are, as if the sudden weakness of a large animal wants to arouse the sympathy of others.

Listening to the non-stop talking, Lin Xi only felt his head buzzing, and now he remembered things that he always thought he hadn't thought of before.

Lin Xi swallowed with difficulty, his throat tightened slightly, and his voice was dry and hoarse, and he said, "Hello?" With just one word, Lin Xi's eyes turned red, and his hands holding the steering wheel kept tightening , with blue veins popping up on his hands, all of which no longer show the owner's emotions.

"Xu Ze..." Lin Xi's voice was choked with sobs. No matter how hard it was before, he couldn't make him shed tears, but now he couldn't help it anymore. Holding the phone in one hand, he lay on the steering wheel and cried, as if he was about to cry. Cry all the grievances and sufferings I suffered in the past ten years to the person on the other end of the phone.

Xu Ze on the other end of the phone was already flustered, afraid that people would still be angry and ignore him, but when he heard Lin Xi crying, he became even more flustered and comforted softly: "Xiaoxi, don't cry, it's all my fault , don't cry, I will feel bad..."

After crying for a while, Lin Xi's mood gradually eased, and he raised his hand to wipe away his tears. He still choked up when he spoke, and said, "Xu Ze, come to me. We will never be apart together." After saying this Lin Xi's eyes were red again, and the tears flowed uncontrollably.

Xu Ze laughed softly when he heard this, and coaxed Lin Xi to say, "Okay, wait for me, wait for me for another three months, I will take care of everything, and we will be together forever."

Hearing three months, Lin Xi was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "Three months, I will wait for you. You must come on time."

Sensing the change in Lin Xi's tone, Xu Ze also solemnly promised: "I will definitely come."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi remembered the incident that he deliberately forgot. He and Xu Ze could be regarded as childhood sweethearts. They grew up together, and they have been together ever since.It's plain to say, but they know each other's passion for love.Xu Ze University was not in the local area, but Lin Xi stayed in the local area. After graduation, due to various reasons, Xu Ze failed to come back, so he stayed in other places to work.

Three months before the end of the world, which is now, they had a fight.Lin Xi couldn't remember the reason for the quarrel.He didn't answer Xu Ze's call, and Xu Ze couldn't come back to see him because of work, and the two remained deadlocked until the end of the world...

He didn't know whether Xu Ze was dead or alive in the last ten years, and he didn't want to know.At first he fantasized that Xu Ze would appear, but gradually he let go of this expectation, because the city where Xu Ze was located was the first to fall.

He doesn't like to say forever, because forever is the most unreliable thing, but now he just wants to tell Xu Ze that he will love him forever, wait for him forever, and be with him forever.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt that he was funny, so he calmed down and drove towards the building materials market.

After making this phone call, Lin Xi only felt lighter physically and mentally, and his life seemed to be coming to an end all at once, and he became more motivated. They must plan their home well.

When he arrived at the building materials market, Lin Xi went straight to the solar panels. Hydropower is important at any time. In the early days of the end of the world, hydropower can still operate normally, but it will not be long before the water and power cut off, so solar energy has become a necessity.

Lin Xi walked around the building materials market, and compared them, he chose to buy from an old store that had been in business for a long time. A 100-watt solar panel is about 1*0.8 meters. Solar panels are very important. Linxi plans to put a large part of them in the house and some on the platform.

After calculating the area of ​​the house, I finally bought another 15 yuan, which was a big expense, and I bought some silica gel and batteries for emergencies.

Seeing that he bought a lot, the boss asked a few more questions.Lin Xi laughed and said that his family used it on a farm in the countryside, so he fooled it.

After buying the solar panels, Lin Xi started looking for a suitable water purifier. Most of the water purifiers on the market are filter-based.Filtration alone is not enough for post-apocalyptic water. Many people have turned into zombies after drinking the water.

After this happened, the army began to teach the simple method of distillation at the base.

Lin Xi wanted to be lazy and find a water purifier or a ready-made still, but he couldn't find it after looking around the market for several times.Lin Xi had no choice but to accept his fate and go back to make a set of stills by himself.

He was almost done buying, and was about to drive away from the building materials supermarket. Lin Xi saw a shop selling tarps with sharp eyes. In the end, Lin Xi brought back two bundles of tarps, and went home with a full harvest.

There is no bed or sofa in the new home, but Lin Xi doesn't plan to go back to the old house, so he lay down on the ground with two layers of quilts. Fortunately, in March, there is still some residual heat from the ground, which is not too cold, so it is passable.

Modern people still like to shop online. The things I just bought today are piled up in the living room downstairs, and Lin Xi is lying on the second floor hiding and not wanting to clean up.

Lying under the blanket and browsing the shopping platform, Lin Xi has his own set of criteria for judging what is important and what is not.

After the apocalypse, drought broke out first, people lacked water, followed by famine, and the soil quality mutated, no matter what they planted, they could not survive, and then came the scorching heat, and the natural system completely collapsed. There was only summer without winter for a whole year, and finally that cold winter...

Thinking of this, Lin Xi began to place orders frantically. The first order was instant noodles, lots and lots of instant noodles.This thing looks inconspicuous now, but it was a good thing in the early days of the end of the world. After two years, instant noodles basically disappeared.

Lin Xi plans to go to the supermarket to buy rice and noodles. The rice can be stored for at least five years if it is properly handled. Although the taste and texture of old rice will not be very good, some of them are already very good.

Although he hasn't bought a bed yet, Lin Xi has already made up his mind to buy a 2.3*2.5 bed. Maybe the mall doesn't have the right size, so Lin Xi plans to order one if he doesn't have one.Quality of life is still there.

I bought several sets of bed sheets and quilt covers, and ordered several thick cotton clothes. Although it was immoral, Lin Xi still wanted to have the opportunity to sweep the mall after the outbreak.

Pots, pans, condiments were in a mess and there were a lot of orders. Lin Xi didn't do anything all night and kept shopping.

Looking at the large number of orders he had placed, Lin Xi went to sleep contentedly.

After waking up the next day, Lin Xi found that many orders had already been shipped. After a brief inspection, only a few were delivered within the same city, so she called and told the delivery man to leave them at the door.

I drove the car by myself and planned to take a stroll around to familiarize myself with the environment. Once people have other thoughts, it is difficult to turn back. Lin Xi's current behavior is called stepping on the spot.

After wandering around for a while, Lin Xi found that he was still thinking too naively. The fact that the development zone has fewer people is only compared to the urban area. The distribution of streets in the development zone happens to be in accordance with the distribution of several large comprehensive supermarkets, connecting the north and the south. There are a lot of chain supermarkets and small convenience stores. The only disadvantage is that there are few pharmacies and hospitals. There is only one hospital and three pharmacies in the entire development zone.

Now that he saw the supermarket, Lin Xi casually went in for a stroll. He didn't buy rice noodles and the like, and he bought it too early in three months and it would easily spoil, so it's better to buy it in a few days.

On the contrary, Lin Xi was moved when he saw kitchen appliances such as soybean milk maker, microwave oven, and oven.

After hesitating to take it, Lin Xi moved all these things back home. After buying these, Lin Xi suddenly thought of a more important thing - he didn't buy a refrigeration machine.

There is no logic at all to buy wherever I think of it. Thinking of Linxi like this, I went to the home appliance city again. The home appliance city is not in the development zone, but it is not far away. It takes only four or 10 minutes to drive there.

With money in hand, there is confidence. I roughly estimated that there are not a few refrigeration refrigerators I need, and bought five large cabinet refrigerators with a wave of my hand. If there are too many things, I will let the home appliance city deliver them home.

Now that we have arrived in the urban area, we went to the Furniture City to order furniture, ordered a bed, bought a sofa, and bought a TV. It doesn’t matter whether we can watch the TV afterward, but a complete decoration must have a TV. This is one of Linxi’s few. Not much stubbornness.

I ran around all day, and I haven't run a few times. When I got home, the outside of the corridor was already full of couriers and refrigerators. Lin Xi squeezed into the house with difficulty, pushed everything into the house and started to put it away.

However, this was the beginning of the headache. The solar panels, which had been neglected all the time, also stood up and complained. Looking at the mess everywhere, Lin Xi had to clean it up, or else he would have nowhere to go when the next batch of deliveries arrived.

After weighing the matter, Lin Xi decided to install solar panels. The downstairs is the living room, the kitchen and two empty rooms. The configuration on the second floor is roughly similar. Surprisingly, there is an attic above it.

The solar panels that were originally intended to be placed in the living room have found a good place.

Lin Xi frantically lifted the solar panels up to the attic. There was a skylight on the attic, which was quite big.Lin Xi placed solar panels under the windows where the sun can be received.

With five yuan left, Lin Xi took them to the platform and laid them out in a row in a corner, orderly and without taking up space.Afraid that rain would shorten its lifespan, Lin Xi took out a tarp to shine on it.

He just bought a set of solar charging equipment. After all, it is a bit expensive and there is no place to put it if there are too many.With all the solar panels laid out, secured with soldered iron plates, the final step - charging!

Reassuringly, everything works fine.Lin Xi felt that he was indeed a person full of talent.

After connecting the solar energy, Lin Xi sat slumped on the newly bought sofa, and couldn't help but lament that his physical fitness was too weak. Lin Xi's physical fitness was very average in his two lifetimes, just an ordinary person.At this time, Lin Xi would feel that the novels he had read before were deceptive.

There are no supernatural beings, we are all ordinary people!
