Doomsday foresight

"What's the matter, sir? How did Erxian Cao know about this?" Ye Jinxi asked in a low voice, taking advantage of grandma Dabao's inattention, pulling grandpa to the waist room.

"I told you." Grandpa Ye looked calm.

Ye Jinxi opened his mouth in surprise, Grandpa Ye looked at Ye Jinxi and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not confused, we can't shout about this matter, if you secretly go home to buy things for preparations, no matter how secret you are, you can't keep it. Well, the people in the village are curious. If they find something, they have to figure it out. That would be dangerous. People in our village are more or less close relatives, and we can’t really ignore it. So I thought of this trick, let’s talk about this kind of thing Few letters go out, and if something happens in the future, you will have to complain. It is difficult to deal with relatives. Cao Erxian always talks about it. He said that others can still believe it. At most, he thought that the gods were deceiving people. Sure enough, he came from this way, he was arrested and educated for a few days, and he came back. I don’t feel ashamed of this.” Grandpa Ye lit his cigarette pouch and took two puffs.

"Then, Cao Erxian won't confess you." Ye Jinxi was a little nervous.

"Don't worry, although Cao Erxian's words are unreliable and foolish, but this person is very loyal, and he still owes me a life, he can't do ungrateful things, no matter whether this thing will happen in the future, Cao Erxian said that Ye Cheng's family is right. No one else can do anything to him. Why do you think these people believe so much? It’s because they have inquired about Ye Cheng’s nephew. After all, when Cao Erxian said that the child’s grandmother died that night, that’s why It's like a prophecy. Didn't you see a lot of people looking for him to show the feng shui of the grave site? If something really happens in the future, it's like no one messed with him. The only thing to be afraid of is that the higher ups will ask him for trouble, but we never Being valued, there were a lot of rumors in the past, and nothing serious." Grandpa Ye thought everything through.

Ye Jinxi thought for a while, as long as Cao Erxian didn't tell his grandpa, it would be fine. "When did grandpa save him?"

"That wasn't the year I married your grandma. He went to play in the reservoir, fell into it, and almost drowned. I fished him out. No one knew about it. He was afraid that his father would take care of him, so he asked me to keep it a secret. I didn't know his father, so I didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect him to remember that when Dabao had an accident, he came to see it. Later, when your parents had an accident, he also helped. I didn’t take it seriously at first, but this time it’s his fault.”

Ye Jinxi nodded, this is a good thing.

"I lied to him too. He is quite superstitious, and I don't know who I learned from. I just said that I have also come down to immortality. I just don't want others to know, and I can count as accumulating merit by borrowing his words." Grandpa Ye was very proud.

Ye Jinxi smiled, ginger is still hot.

"In fact, he is also a hard-working person. He is the youngest in their family. Before he married a wife, his parents disappeared. The brothers in the family didn't care about him. Later, he had a fight with his brother and sister-in-law, so he moved out by himself. , Later, I didn’t know who I learned to read or something, and I was still a little bit accurate, and the days passed a little bit. I married a wife in my thirties. The relationship between the couple is very good and the life is good. Two lives, Cao Erxian felt that he was punishing himself by revealing the secrets of heaven, and he never married a wife after that, until now."

"The kind of people who look at people are all fools. How can he still believe it?"

"What do you know, kid? Cao Erxian learned the Book of Changes from others, and he judged it based on that. Not to mention it's really accurate, he himself believed it after a long time."

Jin Xi nodded, no matter what, it's a good thing, at least he won't tell his grandfather.In the future, I can borrow his mouth for things.As for the trouble caused to Cao Erxian, they will think about him in the future and take care of him more.This person will not suspect anything.

Even though Ye Jinxi still had nightmares when he got home, it was much better than when he was in the capital. He could also bear the scenes in his dreams. Maybe he had watched too much and didn't have any reflections. Sometimes he could sleep until dawn.

Second Uncle Ye regretted it when he went back, but he still obediently asked his wife and daughter-in-law to take their children back to live with her natal family for a while, which was also the case in previous years. Second Aunt was not surprised and went back happily.

The yard of Ye Jinxi's house is quite big, but the old man decided to build the underground warehouse outside the yard after thinking about it. The outside of Ye's house is surrounded by water bubbles, and the open space outside is their private land. It has grown thick, forming a natural wall, and now trees are next to each other, with bushes inserted in between. Except for smaller animals such as mice and cats, even big animals cannot get through, and the same is true for people.Therefore, the place surrounded by trees also belongs to the inner courtyard.But it feels like it’s outside, people can’t walk from the east, there is a wall blocking it, and when they go to the open space next to their house, they go through the small door on the wall. Most people dig cellars in the courtyard. Home is just outside the yard.

The ground is still frozen and it is very difficult to dig, but when everyone is planting in the spring, there will always be people coming here, and they can see something through the gaps in the trees.So although it is not easy to dig a few people, they still work in turns.If someone asks, say build a sheepfold.Because of this excuse, the masters went to Dongshan to pull a lot of stones back.Uncle Ye drove three wheels to the county to get some cement.

He built a sheepfold during the day and dug a cellar at night. The dug was four meters deep. Uncle Ye had worked as a mason in the construction team before and knew how to build a solid house. Although he felt it was unnecessary, the old man always said that it must be strong. .As a result, the foundations were all poured with mountain rock cement. The few people dug for five consecutive nights and built for three more nights. The cellar, which is six meters long, three meters wide, five high and four meters high, was finally repaired.

The extra soil dug out was paved around the trees. Before fearing that someone would come and see something, they spread soybean pods and straw on the ground outside during the day. After the construction was completed, they found that it was a bit surprised by the surrounding snow. Continue to spread.

The access to the cellar is in the courtyard.Just like the sheepfold mentioned earlier, they actually surrounded the sheepfold near the wall.There is a letterpress under the sheepfold in the middle, which is usually piled with feed or something, and the entrance of the two floors is sufficiently closed.Even if someone removes the upper slate, there is still a layer of ground that looks like a concrete floor.This is their family's last resort. If something really happens, they won't move until the last moment.

It took more than a month for this catastrophe to pass. Many women gathered together and scolded Cao Erxian for buying food and supplies. Every household in the village spent a lot of money. Now it seems that the things they bought were really wasted.Fortunately, it is normal for people in rural areas to store some things, so eat slowly.Many families don't need to go to the streets to buy things for a year or two.The things I bought were all expensive, and it was inappropriate to sell them, so I ended up hoarding them.

Taking advantage of the wind gradually subsiding, Second Uncle Ye bought the corn at home, and secretly shipped back some rice flour.

It took more than a month for the father and the others to clean up the cellar. The second uncle used the remaining cement and stones to make a stone slab for storing things. There was a gap of more than 30 centimeters between the stone slab and the ground, so as to avoid water seepage in the cellar. Although lime was sprinkled, I also put some charcoal, be careful, there is a big wooden box on top of the stone slab, that kind of big wooden box with flip top is very closed, it was made by Mr. Ye in the next county, afraid of being seen by others, he would bring it back in the middle of the night.The box is made of camphor wood, which can prevent insects. The bottom of the box is wrapped with a wide bundle of iron sheets, hoping to resist mice. Although the cellar has been plastered with cement, no one can guarantee that mice will not get in.

The rice is placed in boxes, and bamboo charcoal bags are placed inside to prevent moisture.A row of twelve large boxes was placed along the wall, and each box can hold [-] kilograms of rice.On the top of the box is a bag of corn, with a silk ribbon inside and a sack outside.One by one, there are beams on the top of the cellar, and there are no dry goods bags hanging there, all of which are dried mushrooms and fungus. When the grain that Second Uncle Ye bought this time came back, Mr. Ye sealed the cellar door.It will take a lot of trouble to go in next time.

Because the food was hidden in a cellar, the family felt much more at ease. This was done in secret, only a few men in the Ye family knew about it, and even Grandma Ye couldn't figure out the location.Because every time they were working, Grandma Ye would help them out.

Uncle Ye thought about his relatives in his wife's family, so he kept his mouth shut. Ye Jinyang was originally an honest child. After being warned several times by his grandfather and father, he shut up. As the actions were implemented step by step, Ye Jinyang slowly fell silent. Ye Jinxi watched I always feel that this cousin belongs to the kind of person who is dumb and knows what to eat dumplings.Even if no one told him, he was still very careful in doing things. He even heard about his uncle and brother asking about the family's sheep raising, but he prevaricated and didn't show his flaws at all.Finally, after thinking about it, is his cousin that kind of dark-bellied person?

In the third month of the lunar calendar, before the time for planting, the family began to get busy on this day. Today, the bean is preparing for the eighth day of April. The family is going to prepare more. One tank is usually eaten, and the other tank is ready to make pickles use.

Grandma Ye's miso is the best, mainly because it is so good.In the past, my second aunt didn't eat it, and she came to pound it if she wanted to eat it. When she made it herself, the salty taste remained, and there was no bean flavor.

Jinxi helped grandma and followed suit.

"My grandson is so smart, he can learn it as soon as he learns it. It looks like this bean is better than you." Grandma Ye asked Ye Jinxi to cook the Westinghouse pot. Unexpectedly, Jinxi's bean was cooked just right, and she boasted with a smile. said to his daughter-in-law.

"I'm impatient, it's not that I'm mushy when I'm stuffed. Jinxi is careful. I can see that he can't even lift his arms when he keeps stirring." The second aunt didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She thought that although she couldn't do it Good miso, but blessed, the old lady at home cooks it well, and eats ready-made ones every year, and now the eldest nephew seems to be a good cook.If the eldest nephew lived at home, she would never have to leave him for the rest of her life.

When the soybeans are ready, they must be crushed to make embryos, each piece is like a square brick, wrapped in clean cardboard, and then hung on the beams of the house, waiting for fermentation.On the eighth day of April, go down into the tank again.

Dabao came back from playing outside, and when he entered the room, he cheerfully moved to Jinxi's side, "Come back from there, go wash your hands, I'll mix beans for you to eat."

"Sigh." Dabao responded with a smile, and bounced to the corridor to wash his hands.Although the bouncing appearance is not in harmony with his big man, his cheerful mood can be heard from his footsteps.

Jinxi specially left a small pot of soybeans, which were served before they were rotten, and now they are mixed with green peppers and seasoned, and the taste is delicious.

He gave Dabao a bowl, took a spoon, and said, "Go and eat."

"Give it to Xiaobao." Dabao dug out a spoonful with a spoon and handed it to Jinxi every time he ate.

Jinxi smiled and ate, "I've had enough, let Dabao eat the rest."

After finishing lunch, Jinyang's daughter-in-law came over with her cub in her arms. The little guy may have just woken up, his face was flushed, and when he took off the quilt, the little guy's big eyes flickered. Now that he knows Jinxi, he doesn't cry Nao, looked at him with a smile. "uncle"

"Sigh." Jinxi took the child's bag away and let him sit on the kang to play.

"Don't give him beans, Dabao, he's stuck."

"Yeah. I won't give it to him." Dabao nodded and ate up the beans in the bowl with a few mouthfuls.Then he put the bowl on the lid of the box and climbed onto the kang to tease the tiger.

There was a sudden sound of the engine, and Jinxi knew that the second uncle and grandpa had bought sheep, but before they could go out, grandpa and Jinyang ran in, their expressions were very bad, grandpa turned on the TV with the remote control, and Jinxi I saw a scene of hell on earth appearing on TV.

"Is there?" Second Uncle Ye parked the car and ran in, but saw the scene on TV before he could reply.

"Where is this?" It took Jinxi a while to recover his voice, the person on the TV screen had yellow skin but didn't look like a Chinese.

"The country of Yue in the south, I just heard from the news that a tsunami just happened." Jin Yang took a moment to explain.

"Is it okay to stick to our country?" Jinxi asked nervously.

"It's nothing like the tsunami coming from the south. The South Island must have affected it, but it's not serious." The meeting on TV was talking about the domestic situation, and the old man stopped talking, and several people watched the TV seriously.
