After the disaster

Chapter 117 Early Spring

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Shen Dingjun was pushed out as a target this time.Right now, the situation in Xinnan City is tense, and the people above are also under great pressure. They are afraid that chaos will arise one day, and then Shen Dingjun will be stolen at this time, and he is just used to divert everyone's attention.

Speaking of which, it has nothing to do with the audio files released by Qiu Cheng before. The words Shen Dingjun said in them really offended people, and he had a bad reputation in Xinnan City. , always thinking of winning and losing, but never expected that there would be a day when everyone would push him down.

In the next period of time, Ah Chang stared at Shen Dingjun and stole twice, but Shen Dingjun did not call the police these two times. This old boy is not stupid. The fact that he was stolen had to be made into the news again, so that everyone would know about it, and this time the thief was too powerful, and it might be impossible to catch him.

After being stolen three times, Shen Dingjun's protection work has basically been done watertight, Qiu Cheng will not let Ah Chang steal again, the next thing, let's leave it to Shen Xing and her mother, she is also full of fighting spirit now .

After the turmoil of Shen Dingjun's theft passed, the atmosphere in Xinnan City changed again. The people who were just about to move were silent, and even if the citizens had any dissatisfaction, they did not dare to shout loudly outside. Various regions mobilized some anti-violence forces to form a counter-insurgency force to carry out sweeping from north to south, and go to the cities that caused the turmoil to quell the chaos.

There was also a rumor from Xinnan City that a group of people from a certain city in the north organized together and took over half of the city to be the local emperor. As a result, they were completely wiped out in less than three days. I heard that Many people died in this battle, and the concrete floor of the city was stained red with blood...

This army is invincible from north to south, and it is estimated that it will arrive at Xinnan City in more than ten days. It is said that in many cities, there is no need to wait for the arrival of the anti-insurgency troops, and the rioters will stop by themselves. Xinnan City Naturally, I dare not make mistakes. Ordinary ordinary people would rather starve to death than be shot.

In the two-day news broadcast, the host kept repeating one thing, saying that years ago, our country sold a batch of Chinese herbal medicines to Western countries, and exchanged a lot of grain. It takes about a month to reach the port.

When this news was broadcast, it was already late February in the Gregorian calendar, and two months later, it would be late April, and it was almost May. Even in the coldest north, spring had already arrived.

Isn't the most difficult thing really the last two months?How can this batch of grain solve the urgent need, not to mention how much grain can be exchanged with Chinese herbal medicine?When the time comes to divide one more point, how many will actually be divided into the hands of each city?

Therefore, even if the hosts in the news are saying inspiring words every day, everyone still feels not very optimistic.

Fortunately, spring is coming soon. In their central region, spring can be regarded as relatively early. When the wild vegetables on the mountains grow, the days without food will not be so difficult.

During the period at the end of February, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang went out a lot, just to set up a bigger view of the sky. The two electric scooters bought from the south came in handy again, and they went out every night. , when they were sure that there was no one around, they both used electric scooters to travel, saving some energy.

When the formation was finally completed, Qiu Cheng's field of vision suddenly became much wider. Now he can not only see the situation in the city center, but also the situation in several towns around Xinnan City.

In order to prevent insects, several farms around Xinnan City are building glass greenhouses. Qiu Cheng had heard from those in the city before, but now he can see with his own eyes that on some flat land, rows of There are glass greenhouses, some of which have been completed, and some are still under construction.

If there is no way to effectively control the raging pest plague through other means, we will have to grow crops in greenhouses in the future.

At the beginning of March, Ah Chang and his school finally sent Qiu Cheng a text message to announce the start of school.It's also because the law and order in the city has improved a lot recently, otherwise the school might not have started so soon.

After the final exam last semester, the school rearranged the grades and classes for these students. Ah Chang was in class one of the fifth grade, and he was in the same class as Wang Lei, the youngest son of Boss Wang. Ah Lei was a smart kid, and he was in the same class as him , Presumably Ah Chang's popularity this year will be much better than last year.

The cold is receding silently day by day. Unknowingly, there is greenness in the withered haystacks on the roadside. Residents in Jiayuan community start to go out to dig wild vegetables in groups, year after year because of concerns about safety. People who moved to the city center have basically moved back.

Qiu Cheng learned through the eyes of heaven and earth that Shen Xing's mother exchanged two factory buildings for a piece of land. It is just west of Xinnan University, next to Xinnan River, which is upstream of them, and she plans to set up a factory there. In the duck farm, they will fight Shen Dingjun.

In the previous divorce case, she took up all of Shen Dingjun's properties that were not in Xinnan City, and the remaining few were not very successful.What Shen Dingjun tried his best to keep at the beginning, and what he can rely on most now, are the farms and duck farms in Xinnan City. If the duck farms are hit, Shen Dingjun will not have much bargaining chips left in his hands.

Shen Dingjun is too busy to take care of himself now. The atmosphere in Xinnan City is quite peaceful. Many of the disaster victims in Xinnan University have gone back to their hometowns, and some chose to stay. The city government is currently making arrangements for this matter.

Recently, Qiu Cheng paid less and less attention to the outside world, and instead concentrated on his cultivation. He hoped that he could achieve something and refine a Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible.

"I heard that many people are doing business in the night market now, let's set up a stall too." Zhou Quan suddenly said to Qiu Cheng during dinner that night.

"If you think it's suitable, just bring a few people to set up the stall." Now that Ah Chang has started class, Qiu Cheng has to look at the fifteenth floor, and at the same time spend as much time as possible to meditate and practice. This time at the night market He planned to leave Zhou Quan in charge of setting up the stall.

"How do you set the price?" Zhou Quan asked him.

"Just look at it, I don't know what the current market is." Qiu Cheng said.After getting along for such a long time, he felt that Zhou Quan was quite reliable in his work, and Qiu Cheng was very relieved to leave things to him.

"Then we will start to open the stall tomorrow night." Zhou Quan said.

"Okay, Ah Chang and I will go and have a look at that time too." The first day I left the stall, I had to check the situation no matter what. Fortunately, Ah Chang is studying in elementary school now, so there is no such thing as late self-study.

The next night, they had dinner early, and together with Zheng Jitao, his wife and two men who lived on the [-]th and [-]th floors, a group of seven people in total went to the night market with their belongings in a tricycle.

Although there is a small truck, the gasoline these days is replaced by food. In order to save fuel, they usually don't use it very much.

When he went to the night market, Zhou Quan still chose to continue doing business at the old location where Qiu Cheng and the others used to set up stalls. Although there are many places in the night market that are vacant now, many of them are much better than theirs.

As soon as Qiu Cheng and the others opened their stall, old customers from the past came over, but these old customers are having a hard time now, with more people watching and fewer people buying.

However, there are quite a few new faces who are quite generous. It is said that they are workers in the two industrial areas in the south of the city and the north of the city. The factories that are still operating normally can basically distribute the rations of the workers. Save money, you can have some surplus food on hand.

"How do you sell these eggs?" A thin young man with dark skin stood in front of the booth, staring at the eggs on the booth.

"There are three cornmeal per catty." Zheng Jitao's daughter-in-law Wang Meiying said with a smile.

This price was also negotiated by them before, and it was quite reasonable, mainly because Qiu Cheng wanted cornmeal to be useful now, whether it was from the Chengnan Fish Farm or the Orphanage.

Two days ago, the director of the orphanage asked Qiu Cheng how long he planned to continue to take care of these children who escaped with their parents.Qiu Chengcheng said that if the parents are willing to take it away, they can take it away at any time, as long as the soldiers in charge of their safety confirm it.

As for the children whose parents are not in a hurry to take them away, Qiu Cheng plans to continue to provide them with rations until the end of March, when the weather has really warmed up, even if their parents have limited ability, digging some wild vegetables can barely fill their stomachs.

"Hiss, there are only three cornmeal per catty." The man was in pain, but he was reluctant to part with the eggs. Finally, he thought for a while and said, "I'll just buy one?"

"Success, cornmeal in threes, twos and fours, just as it is called." Wang Meiying said briskly.

"Then I'll choose one myself?" the man said again.Eggs can be big or small. If the material conditions were good in the past, most people would not care about this, but now, when buying eggs, as long as it is a matter of consideration, there is no one who does not choose the size, and you have to choose the right one. Very carefully, compared and compared.

"Okay, you can choose by yourself, be gentle." Wang Meiying reminded him.

The business at the stall is not booming, and Wang Meiying can greet her by herself. Qiu Cheng and a group of men standing aside have nothing to do, they just act as bodyguards. The same is true for other stalls in the night market. It was a group of people watching.

When Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang stopped coming, there were only five of them left. Anyway, business was not very good, and they didn't need to bring a lot of things every time they came out. It was basically safer to have five people.

Qiu Cheng stood bored behind his stall, thinking whether to go back earlier, when he turned his head, he saw a little old man walking towards the other side of the night market, with a hunchback, a bare forehead, and a pair of Looking at the reading glasses, Qiu Cheng felt a little familiar when he looked at this person, and the two young people behind him seemed familiar as well.

He didn't remember it yet, but when the other party saw him, he immediately called out his name: "This isn't Qiu Cheng, I'm still saying, why haven't I seen you boy recently."

"Old Zhou?" Qiu Cheng vaguely remembered that his surname was Zhou, and he had asked him to bring chickens before, which Ah Chang had bought in the past.

"Remember our old Zhou? You are a good boy, and there are eggs. People are starving to death these days, but few people have enough food to raise chickens." Zhou Ganxing is a businessman with the best memory, especially the People are better at it.

"Are you still going to our Xinnan City to buy vegetables?" Qiu Cheng remembered that he was from the provincial capital, and his son had even set up an Internet company, so he didn't know what was going on now.

"Otherwise, what should I do? Oh, it's not easy to feed such a large group of idlers. My farm is almost eaten up by them." Sure enough, Zhou Ganxing began to complain: "I always think that maybe it will happen after a while." The situation will be fine, and Internet companies will start to make profits, but now you see, alas, I'm almost being taken advantage of."

"It should get better this year." Qiu Cheng said with a smile.Now many farms around Xinnan City are building glass greenhouses. I believe other cities are doing the same. As long as the food is not harmed by insects, after this year's autumn harvest, the food problem should not be so serious.

"Hey, I really want to do that." After raising him for so long, now he said that he wanted to disband him. Not to mention his son's refusal, even he himself felt reconciled.

Zhou Ganxing said a few words to Qiu Cheng, then went to the front of the booth, took a toothpick, picked out a small piece of moldy tofu, ate it with a lot of noise, and finally ordered two cans, and asked Zheng Jitao, who was in charge of canning, to give them to him. Pack two more.

Zheng Jitao glanced at Qiu Cheng, and Qiu Cheng nodded with a smile. It has only been less than a year, and the old man looks much older. It seems that he is not having a good time these days.
