After the disaster

The next afternoon, when Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang were moving pepper seedlings downstairs, they happened to run into Xiao Yuping and her son who were about to go out. At that time, Xiao Yuping took Qiu Cheng aside to talk.

"Yesterday, Meimei said that Ah Chang was hanging upside down outside the railing on the fifteenth floor, and gave her an egg. Oh, that's dangerous enough. I think I should tell you." Xiao Yuping was also a little embarrassed. This job is done well, and she also thinks that one more thing is worse than one less thing, but this matter is still serious after all.

"I'll go back and tell him to go, he likes to climb higher." Qiu Cheng laughed.

"Hey, then you have to talk to him about it. It's really not a joke to be so tall." Xiao Yuping didn't quite believe what her daughter said at first. It's such a thing, it's not easy for adults to believe it, but looking at Qiu Cheng's reaction, it seems that there is such a thing.

Qiu Cheng responded with a smile, and when he went up the stairs after a while, he said to Ah Chang: "Be careful not to be seen by others when climbing high, even children."

"Oh." Ah Chang spared his neck and agreed, thinking that human children are really troublesome, just give her eggs to eat secretly, and even told the adults.

"Tomorrow is Monday, so hurry up and do your homework." Although Qiu Cheng also knew that Ah Chang's learning ability was very strong, and he didn't need to copy as many times as three, four, or fifty times to learn a new word, but he still had to do his homework. Not doing homework is tantamount to challenging the teacher's authority, and you will definitely be punished.

"Woo..." Ah Chang was dejected, and obediently went to do his homework on the mat.Qiu Cheng said that at the very least, he still needs to study until he graduates from junior high school. From now until he graduates from the third year of junior high school, there are still several years to go. There are two semesters in a year, and each semester takes more than four months... Wow, it will take a long time .

Qiu Cheng on the side leaned over to take a look, and saw a Chinese book spread out in front of Ah Chang, and an exercise book next to it, and he was counting with his fingers, but he didn't know what he was counting.

In a blink of an eye, it was late November, and the crops that Qiu Cheng and the others had planted on the roof had all been taken back. Sweet potatoes, corn, and soybeans were nothing particularly valuable.

The dried corn kernels are now piled up by him in the houses in the north, and the soybeans are still supplied to the Wang family to make tofu and mildewed tofu. Qiu Cheng processed a batch of sweet potatoes, and kept the other batch untouched.

When the batch of sweet potatoes was first dug out, Qiu Chengcheng scrubbed some of them out, and then put the good sweet potatoes, which were not too big or small without insect eyes, into a large pot and boiled them slowly. When Ah Chang goes to school every day, he packs several in his schoolbag.

Pick the remaining sweet potatoes and use a grater to cut them into thin strips, spread them on the mat and put them on the roof to dry, and then put them in woven bags that don’t let in moisture, and put a few handfuls in them when cooking pig food every day , Pigs are easy to get fat after eating.

Considering that the food problem might be more serious this winter, Qiu Cheng also sold the crop of rice that had been recovered recently to Boss Bai.

During the transaction, he only learned that the price of rice in the provincial capital has dropped recently, while the price of cornmeal has increased a lot. It seems that many people have heard the news. It's hard.

Just as he was thinking about this, the doorbell rang, and there were a few children outside, Uncle Qiu and Ah Chang, barking. Needless to say, they must be the girls and boys of the Wang family.These little ghosts called Qiu Cheng uncle, and called Ah Chang by his first name, which completely lost their seniority.

As soon as Ah Chang heard their voices, he couldn't help but rolled on the mat. He really hated these little light bulbs.

"Uncle Qiu, let's find Ah Chang to do homework together." As soon as the door opened, several children filed in, one of them was throwing their schoolbags, the other was occupying the sofa, they were very familiar with each other.

"Why are you here again?" Ah Chang complained.

"Hee hee, Ah Chang, how much homework have you done? I heard that your class has a lot of homework this week." The boy A Lei smiled, not taking Ah Chang's resentful face seriously at all.

"It's almost finished." Ah Chang lied.

"Who are you kidding? You always don't finish your homework until the last minute. Let me see, oops, I haven't started writing yet." Ajie opened Ah Chang's homework and looked at it, then bluffed Shout out.

"Are you done?" Ah Chang asked him.

"Hey, it hasn't started yet." Ajie touched his nose and put Achang's homework back for him.

"Okay, hurry up and do your homework, don't gossip." Xiaoling had already spread out her homework on the coffee table, took a pencil and began to write.

"Then do your homework well. I'll go upstairs to have a look. Tonight, let's eat noodles with fried sauce. It's still the old rule. You can only have dinner after you finish your homework." Qiu Cheng said to them before going upstairs.

It wasn't the first time these little ghosts came to their home to do their homework. Usually when they came, Qiu Cheng would take care of the meal.

As soon as these kids came over, Ah Chang didn't procrastinate in doing homework anymore, just to be the first to finish it, and to be the first to get to the table to pick the biggest bowl. It's too embarrassing to give to those little kids.

Qiu Cheng went up to the [-]th floor by himself, and observed the dynamics of the day in Xinnan City through the "eyes of heaven and earth". many.

The above has already issued a document, requiring all large and small cities across the country to implement the household registration problem for those who migrated from the south as soon as possible. They must be allowed to enjoy the right to purchase rations at the grain sales office from December onwards, just like local residents. .

But the documents have come down, but the food has not yet come down. The upper echelons of Xinnan City are also a little bit battered these days. Seeing that the better days are coming, no one wants to lose their positions at this time, but with so many people, the food needs to come from Where did it come from?

If there is no above, then we have to start from the bottom.In the past few days, the leaders of Xinnan City have talked with several local farmers, hoping to get food from these farmers, and their bargaining chip is the land under the jurisdiction of Xinnan City.

"Wen Hai, you just handed over all the food, are you in a hurry?" Ge Hongchang said to his brother-in-law Ai Wenhai in an apartment by the Xinnan River in the center of Xinnan City.

"This year's situation seems to be going badly. The food from above cannot come down, and so many people below are eagerly waiting to buy food. Although our local area also has some output, there are still those southerners. Even if everyone takes all the food If you come out, you may not be able to pass the winter smoothly, not to mention that those old foxes still have their own plans."

Ai Wenhai leaned on the sofa, smoking a cigarette in small sips, tsk tsk, it smells good, those people above seem to be in a hurry this time, if it wasn't for the food, don't expect them to take the good things out .

"Because of this, we have handed over all the food now, and then we will lose our bargaining chips?" Ge Hongchang said.

"Brother-in-law." Ai Wenhai slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Don't kill a lot of people this time."

When he said this, Ge Hongchang also fell silent. Although it is not that they have not given out money to dead people before, the situation is different. Before the vaccine for X virus was developed, who knows if human beings will With such annihilation, there was no hope at all. Under the circumstances at that time, some of their methods were inevitably a bit extreme.

It's different now, and the world seems to be getting better, so they had to raise their hands, maybe a lot of people can get through it because of it.

"You tell them to calm down for the next few months, just take care of our own rations, and don't get involved in other things." After a while, Ai Wenhai spoke again.

"Okay, I see." Ge Hongchang replied.

Seeing this, Ai Wenhai's attitude was already very clear. Qiu Cheng cut the screen away and looked at several other characters in Xinnan City who were holding food in their hands.

It turned out to be exactly as Ai Wenhai said. These people had their own agendas. The city leaders approached them to discuss food matters. , but almost everyone has a backup.

"Dad, you're so wise. It's better for us to raise ducks. They don't know how much food we exchanged with those ducks. Unlike those who farm the land, the output will be revealed after calculation." Shen Hanyu is at Shen Dingjun's home. Flatter his father.

"This is called foresight, Han Yu, you have to remember that if you want to be a successful businessman, you have to see farther than others. Those short-sighted people will not go far on this road." Shen Dingjun's picture Rarely can't hide a bit of complacency on his serious face, his son's flattery is obviously very rewarding.

"Yeah, Dad, when the food shortage really comes, what we will get is not just a few broken pieces of land? I heard that Ai Wenhai took all their food for land, what an idiot." Shen Hanyu at this time He also had a complacent expression on his face, his father's things were not all his in the end, and those few money-losers didn't even want to get their hands on them.

"Young man, after all, he's still a little tender." Shen Dingjun said contemptuously.

"When the price of food has risen sharply, let's just take a few hundred catties out and exchange him for ten or eight yuan of land, so that he will be greedy to death." Shen Hanyu knew that his father was more wrong with Ai Wenhai, so he poured fire on the fire at this time It's oily.

When they came back from the south, many local forces were quite repulsive. At that time, Ai Wenhai was very indifferent to Shen Dingjun. Although he didn't find fault with him, he also didn't give him face. A note has been made to him.

Of course, this also includes Shen Dingjun's contempt and hostility towards Ai Wenhai. At the beginning, he was unambiguous in Xinnan City, but now, Ai Wenhai's words in the city are even more effective than him. What kind of person is Ai Wenhai? Well, when Shen Dingjun made his fortune, Ai Wenhai didn't know which construction site he was helping people carry sandbags.

"Han Yu, your situation is still a bit small." The old god Shen Dingjun taught his good son on the ground: "When the food shortage breaks out, food is a life-saving thing, and it can't be measured by price. Human life is nothing. The price, what is the price of food, do you know?"

"Dad, what do you mean?" Shen Hanyu was taught humbly.

"What am I talking about, you have to take a long-term view and have a big picture. Don't always stare at the petty profits. In Xinnan City, who owns the real good land? And the relocation is about to happen soon. The places we came here..." Shen Dingjun paused at this point, looked at his son and said, "You understand now."

"Understood, I understand." Shen Hanyu nodded again and again, but he still had doubts in his heart: "But Dad, those people generally don't lack food, right?"

"Tsk, have you lost your mind? What did the great man say? If you have the conditions, you have to go, and if you don't have the conditions, you have to go if you don't have the conditions. Do you understand?"

"Understood! Understood! Dad, how could you think of this? I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't tell me."

"You still have something to learn."

"..."

Qiu Cheng bit the dried sweet potato, watched the father and son finish singing a monkey show, and then switched several screens in a row, observing the movements of Shen Dingjun's subordinates, and noted down the locations of Shen Dingjun's granaries.

Seeing that it was not too early, he closed the "eyes of heaven and earth", and went downstairs to make noodles with fried sauce for Ah Chang and the girls and boys of the Wang family.
