After the disaster

Because there is no need to go to the river to fetch water, Qiu Cheng has recently advanced the time of this practice meditation every morning, sitting from [-] o'clock in the morning to [-] o'clock in the morning.

Every morning, when the sun rises, the darkness recedes, and the grass and trees are bathed in the newborn sunshine with dew. At this moment, the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth is always extraordinarily pure and rich, and practicing at this time is also more effective.

When Qiu Cheng woke up at four o'clock in the morning that day, Ah Chang also yawned and sat up from the bed.

"Sleep a little longer." Qiu Cheng said to him.It's okay for Ah Chang to wake up so early, but just sit with him at the balcony door.

"Don't sleep." Ah Chang squinted his eyes and muttered, then sat down in front of the cabinet in a daze to arrange his hair.

His original semi-long hair was recently cut into a pot head by Qiu Cheng, probably because of the shortening. Every morning when he wakes up, his short hair, which was originally a bit naturally curly, is extremely curled up.

"Then you should grind the beans later." Qiu Cheng took off his crumpled T-shirt and shorts, and found a clean one from the cabinet to change into.Ah Chang has become more and more dishonest when he sleeps at night recently. Two days ago, he even bit out several small holes in one of his t-shirts.

"Hmm..." Ah Chang replied vaguely.

Qiu Cheng took a cushion and put it at the door of the balcony, sat cross-legged with his heart turned to the sky, and soon fell into a samadhi.

Since those few baskets of ginseng used up the aura in 1406, the spiritual gathering array last time, Qiu Chengcheng never took them into this room again, and in order not to affect the growth of the crops upstairs, he no longer took them Put them in other spirit gathering arrays, on the balcony of 1506, choose a shaded place to set up a gathering spirit array for them alone, and then leave it alone.

Ah Chang worked for a long time before finally tidying up the pile of messy hairs on his head. After this busy work, the sleepy bug ran away, and he became sober again. He remembered Qiu Cheng asking him to grind the beans, and ran away. After I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, I took out the grinding disc.

This mill weighed several hundred kilograms, and these two people moved it around at every turn. When not in use, they put it in a corner. When they wanted to use it, they felt that the corner could not move freely, so they had to move it to a spacious place.

Like Qiu Cheng, Ah Chang first cleaned the millstone with clean water, then moved it to the front of the sofa and put it away. The beans were scooped from the basin and put into the stone mill. These beans were soaked by Qiu Cheng last night, and now they can be used as long as they are washed. Ah Chang scooped a few beans and a little water in each spoon, and ground them out Thick raw soy milk.

Ah Chang yawned, and finished grinding a small pot of beans in a short while. Looking at the time, it was still early, and there was still a long time before Qiu Cheng came out of meditation.Ah Chang thought for a while, and took out another prop from the kitchen. This prop is composed of a piece of gauze and two long chopsticks. At this time, the gauze forms a groove in the middle.

This tool was made by Qiu Cheng and A Chang when he made tofu for the first time a few days ago.Ah Chang took a clean empty wooden basket from the wall and put it at his feet, and put a small basin in the basket, and then put the pair of long chopsticks and gauze on the wooden basket.

He first scooped a small spoonful of freshly ground soybean milk into the gauze, then picked up the two long chopsticks, and shook them a few times with one hand up and the other down, the gauze slurry soon leaked into the basin below, leaving only Add a little bean dregs, repeat this several times, and he quickly filtered all the soy milk.

Ah Chang watched the process of making tofu on TV, and made it with Qiu Cheng again two days ago, this time he decided to make the tofu by himself, so as to surprise Qiu Cheng when he came out of samadhi.

Next, he brought out a rice cooker from the kitchen, pulled a power strip onto the coffee table, poured the soy milk into the rice cooker, and kept stirring it with a plastic spoon while cooking to prevent sticking to the bottom. The pot is burnt.

After the soy milk was cooked, I took a little bit of gypsum powder that Qiu Cheng bought a few days ago and mixed it with water to order tofu. After a while, spread gauze on the wooden basket for shaping, pour in the tofu flowers, and cover it Gauze, pressed on the board.

Of course, the wooden basket used for shaping is also made by Qiu Cheng, because every time they make tofu, they just eat it by themselves, and the quantity is very small, so this wooden basket is also made very small.

Qiu Cheng not only made the wooden basket smooth and flat, but also nailed two small wooden sticks on the left and right sides of the wooden basket like a sedan chair. When pressing tofu, the wooden basket can be placed on the washbasin or the sink. , In this way, the tofu water will not leak everywhere.

"Have you made the tofu?" As soon as Qiu Cheng got out of the meditation, he could smell the fragrance of tofu in the room.

"Eat tofu." Ah Chang pushed a bowl of tofu sprinkled with green onion and soy sauce towards him.

Qiu Cheng stood up from the cushion, stretched on the spot, then carried the cushion to the sofa, picked up a spoon and took a bite of the bean curd made by Ah Chang.

"Is it delicious?" Ah Chang looked at him with wide eyes.

"Delicious." Qiu Cheng nodded.

"Eat quickly." Ah Chang looked at Qiu Cheng happily, and urged him to eat quickly, and even scooped the bean curd in his bowl towards him.

For the two big men, a bowl of bean curd for each of them is definitely not enough for breakfast. After eating a few mouthfuls of bean curd, Qiu Cheng got up and took a few pieces of pumpkin corn cake from the refrigerator and steamed them in the rice cooker.

After breakfast, Qiu Cheng and A Chang first went upstairs to weed and water the crops they planted at home, picked ripe peppers and tomatoes, went to the roof to feed the chickens, and went to 1501 to have a look at the A few goats added some water to the tank, and finally went to 1509 to feed the voles and 1505 to feed the fish.

After finishing these tasks, Ah Chang took the tortoise box they used to house bugs, Qiu Cheng took a few sacks, the two of them went out together, took the elevator downstairs, went to the garage to pick up the tricycle, and creaked to the river.

"Hey, Qiu Cheng, Qiu Cheng." The two of them rode a tricycle to the Jiayuan Community, when they saw Aunt Chen on the ground waving at them vigorously.

"Aunt Chen, what's the matter?" Qiu Cheng pressed the brake lever and parked the tricycle on the side of the road.

"I heard that the Internet can be opened now, do you know?" Aunt Chen stood on the ground wearing a pair of dirty plastic slippers.

"Can the Internet be opened?" Qiu Cheng was taken aback, he really didn't know about it.

"I just said that you two definitely don't know yet. I only found out last night. If you want to open it, you can go to the telecommunications company. The network cable here is fine, so go directly to open the original account. That's fine, tsk, but the price is too expensive, more than 7000 for half a year."

Aunt Chen told them everything she knew. Although Qiu Cheng no longer buys electricity from their house, she has a good impression of these two young people and is willing to deal with them.

"Thank you for telling me, I will go to the telecommunications company to have a look." Qiu Cheng smiled at her and said, "The crops in your field are growing well."

"Oh, it's useless to look good." Aunt Chen sighed.

"What's the matter?" Qiu Cheng didn't pay much attention to the movement outside these days, and didn't know what happened outside.

"Someone came to see the land a few days ago. I heard that our side, even the area by the Xinnan River, will be contracted by someone." Aunt Chen said, pointing to the Xinnan River where Qiu Cheng and the others often go. The wasteland on the other side.

"Do you know who it is?" Qiu Cheng asked her.

"Shen Dingjun, do you know him? He just came back from the south, and now he is enclosing land everywhere. Pity me for these crops. When the time comes, people will pull them up as soon as they say so."

Aunt Chen has spent a lot of time and energy on this land in the past two months. Seeing the crops grow up day by day, she can't help but think about how much food she can harvest when she arrives. Now she suddenly heard that this land Being contracted by someone is really a bolt from the blue.

"Many technicians came here at the beginning. Didn't the city encourage us to plant the land? Don't worry, these good crops must not be pulled out just by pulling them out." Although he hated Shen Dingjun, Qiu Cheng didn't believe that he would So stupid, since he has contracted the land around here, he should not be so arrogant and offend the residents of this area.

"Hey, I hope, there is nothing he can do if he insists on pulling us out. To put it bluntly, this land is not our own." Aunt Chen shook her head and said.

"Don't worry, you definitely can't do that." Qiu Cheng comforted her again.

"Hey, it would be great if you really want to do that. You guys are not going to the river, so hurry up."

"Then let's go."

"go Go."

Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang went to the wasteland by the river to catch some bugs, and brought some river sand back. The river sand was piled up in an empty room in 1512, and they were packed in several large wooden baskets. After a while, when the ginger at home is harvested, it can be stored in sand, and it is very convenient to dig a few pieces when needed.

Now the peanuts in 1504 and the soybeans in 1506 have been harvested, and they are drying on the roof. When Qiu Cheng was planting crops on the roof, he did not forget to leave a small place for drying.The chickens raised on the balcony are still young, so if you surround them with anything, they won't be able to pass, and you won't be afraid that they will waste the food.

After putting away the sand, Qiu Cheng went to the roof of the building with Ah Chang to look through the soybeans and peanuts, and then went out again.

The Internet is a good thing, and Qiu Cheng is absolutely unwilling to miss it. The two of them went out after ten o'clock, and arrived at the service hall of the nearest telecommunications company before eleven o'clock.

The Internet fee is set too high, and Xinnan City is too poor, so not many people can afford it. When they passed by, there were not many people waiting in line to handle business, but the speed of business processing was a bit slow. There were a total of about ten people in front of them. , Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang insisted on waiting from less than eleven o'clock until 12:30, and finally it was their turn.

"How long will it take to open after paying the fee?" Qiu Cheng asked the staff at the counter after reporting his previous account number and successfully handling the business. After paying the Internet fee for half a year, Qiu Cheng asked the staff at the counter.

"Under normal circumstances, it will be opened within [-] hours. It's hard to say tonight. If you still can't access the Internet tomorrow morning, you can call our service number. At that time, technicians will go to check the line." The staff replied.

"No phone." Qiu Cheng smiled wryly.Except for some government departments and public institutions, plus a few local tyrants, no one has a phone. Their telecommunications company did not openly handle this business before. The door of the service hall was not opened, and they only served a small number of people in private. .

"Then do you need to activate the fixed line number at home together? The monthly rent is 150 yuan, and there is a discount for half a year's monthly rent in advance..."

Qiu Cheng subscribed to the Internet and fixed-line telephone, both of which were paid in advance for half a year, and some telephone charges were also deposited in advance.

After returning home, Qiu Cheng turned on the computer several times in the afternoon, wanting to see if the Internet was connected. It was not until after they had dinner that Qiu Cheng turned on the computer again and tried to connect to the Internet that he finally succeeded.

After many years, he finally went online again, holding the mouse in his hand, Qiu Cheng didn't know what to do for a while.

Qiu Cheng didn't move, and Ah Chang didn't move either, they just looked at the computer screen quietly.

"Can I get you an ID card?" Although I don't know if it's reliable to do so, Qiu Cheng still wants to get an ID card for Ah Chang first, at least for a while, and then help him later when he is capable. He makes an identity.

"Okay." Although Ah Chang didn't understand the importance of the ID card, he often heard Qiu Cheng tell him recently, don't fight in crowded places, and hide from the police because he doesn't have an ID card.

Qiu Cheng opened the browser, logged into a local forum skillfully, found some small advertisements that were not visible, and wrote down a few Q numbers, then he searched for the method of hiding the IP address, and first operated according to the method taught on the webpage After doing it again, I got on one of my trumpets and added those Q numbers.

"Hello, can I get an ID card?"

"Hello, can I get an ID card?"

"Hello, can I get an ID card?"

"..."

"can."

Qiu Cheng added several Q's and sent several messages before finally getting a reply.

"The reason for applying for the certificate?" The other party typed a few more words.

"I've fought in the past, and I have some criminal records, so it's hard to find a job." This is the reason Qiu Cheng thought of early on.

"Okay." After a while, the other party finally responded.

"Does it have a magnetic strip? Can it be swiped?" Qiu Cheng typed another line.

"Completely cloned, without in-depth investigation, it cannot be found to be false evidence." The other party replied.

"Can you get a bank card?" Qiu Cheng actually wanted to ask if he could hide it from the police comrades.

"Yes, but it's best not to, because it's cloning someone else's ID card, so it's best to keep a low profile." The other party replied quickly.

"What's the cost?" Qiu Cheng asked.

"Ten catties of cornmeal." The other party replied.

"Yes, but I need to inspect the goods before paying." Qiu Cheng said.

"No problem, the morning after tomorrow, at the intersection of Wenhui Road and Chaoyang Road, under the trash can, wrapped in a black plastic bag. After you inspect the goods, contact me and agree on the payment method."

"Okay." When Qiu Cheng typed these two words, his heart was a little heavy. He never thought that he would have a day of obtaining a false certificate.

"Send me a photo, and I'll choose a more similar one for you." The other party said again.

"Wait a minute." Qiu Cheng took out his mobile phone from the drawer, took a photo of Ah Chang's face and sent it to him.

"My buddy is pretty handsome, that's all right, just wait to get your ID card." The other party went offline immediately after saying this, and Qiu Cheng also logged off after that.

Now everywhere is strictly controlled, with so many police officers patrolling the streets every day, and the small advertisements for certificates that can be seen everywhere in the past have disappeared. No one is in a relaxed mood when committing crimes against the wind.

After turning off the computer, Qiu Cheng thought about it, took out the scissors from the drawer, and decided to change Ah Chang's hairstyle so that he would not recognize him at a glance next time he met him on the street.

"Woo..." Seeing Qiu Cheng holding the scissors, Ah Chang immediately jumped up from the stool and dodged far away.

"Don't worry, I will help you cut something nice this time." Qiu Cheng promised.

"No." He said the same thing last time, but the day Ah Chang went out to catch bugs the day he cut off the lid, he was laughed at by the children downstairs.
