Surviving the end of the world

There are still some people who are willing to take these children back. Many people in the village lost their children in the messy incidents before. Life has been difficult for the past two years, and they are not yet ready to have another one.The few children present looked thin and well-behaved, which could arouse the natural motherhood of women.Like Li Sanshu and the others, their son is gone, and they have no ability to regenerate themselves, so they even have the idea of ​​directly adopting a child to take care of them in the future.The only pity is that the children here are all old and have already remembered things, so I'm afraid they won't be familiar with them.

It didn't take long for the children to confirm their belongings, and the matter of cotton-padded quilts was finally determined here.The people in the village are not so easy to talk about this time. Food and the like are considered renewable resources nowadays, but cotton clothes and quilts are not. Although the village is trying their best to find cotton seeds, they have not found them. The whole family's warmth depends on these, so no matter what, it must be sold at a good price.

Of course, the more embarrassing thing is that no one knows what the market is like. Moreover, the specifications of quilts are different, not to mention new and old, and there are also materials, such as cotton and space cotton. Even if the materials are the same, there are still differences in severity. Woolen cloth!Not to mention the clothes, long and short, down, cotton, and woolen. Although the good ones are reluctant to take them out, there are still a lot of poor quality ones in the village. I hate that they are not warm enough, but, always Better than these guys who don't even have a jacket on them.

They were discussing and haggling again. Fortunately, Chen Dong and the others were afraid that the women and children would freeze, so they didn't worry too much. They quickly changed some quilts and cotton-padded sweaters, and didn't dare to change more. After all, their own prey was still I have to keep some of it for myself to eat. In addition, I changed some corn dregs or something, so I can cook porridge when I go back.

Chen Jin gave away so many clothes and quilts before, and now he also brought back a bunch of pheasants and hares. Bai Jing was more excited by the side, and began to figure out what to do.He can eat but can't cook. Therefore, under normal circumstances, he has to kill and clean up the chickens and ducks at home first, and then Chen Jin takes over.It just so happened that the ones I brought back today were all pre-processed and salted, and some were still smoked and not completely dried, so they could be eaten directly after thawing.

The exchange this time has brought a benefit, that is, the villagers and these outsiders are no longer inseparable, and they often communicate with each other. Women who have children outside are not so relieved to leave their children with others. At home, if there is nothing to do, I will bring some home-made food to see the children. If the men hunt more abundantly, they will bring some prey, some of which will be given to the family who takes care of the children, and some will be exchanged. Some sweet potato flour or some shoes and socks.

That is to say, Chen Dong and his group had to go hunting frequently in order to make a living.Fortunately, they have a lot of experience. Moreover, in this weather, although rabbits hide in the ground and do not come out very often, those hungry wild cats and dogs, as well as some birds such as pheasants that come out to look for food, can It is easier to meet, of course, correspondingly, it is also easy to meet those predators.Pingzi and the others often went out with them. After all, they had been here for the first year, and they had little experience in farming, and the harvest was not very good.Besides, for people like them, it is not easy to live in a clear soup with little water, and it is also sad that there is no oil in the stomach.

There were a few snowfalls in the winter, but luckily it wasn't too heavy and didn't last long, so it was easy to clear the snow on the road. However, other places couldn't be controlled, and Chen Dong and the others also reduced their hunting time. The number of times, I would rather eat less. In such a snowy day, if I get frostbite, I will be in big trouble.

In fact, there is nothing to do in winter, it is too cold, and now there is no electricity, the house is generally dark except for the stove that can provide some light, and people who are willing to part with it are only willing to eat When doing things, twist the wick with cotton thread and light a lamp with soybean oil to illuminate it. Ordinary people can only sit by the hearth and do things that don't require too much light.Even if there is sun, most people will not go out. The temperature outside is low, and the wind is too strong. It seems to be blowing from all directions, almost blowing away all the hot air on the body. Therefore, naturally, most of the time inside, the house There are no people outside, and naturally only the family knows how the family is doing.

Chen Jin and the others are naturally the same. Generally, when the door is closed, the two of them spend most of the time in the space. Apart from eating and taking care of things in the space, in addition, they just do things, and there is nothing else to do anyway, isn't it? ?The people in the village are almost like this.A family lives together. It’s okay if you have children. You have to be cautious about your children’s thoughts. At most, after the children go to sleep, you can sneak a little exercise. If you don’t have children, it’s different, even if it’s not just for the next generation. Well, I am also very enthusiastic about this kind of man-made movement.Now there is no one-child policy, and there is no need to run for a birth certificate to have a child. Before Li Sanshu and his second sister-in-law made trouble like that, isn’t it just that the only child is gone?Originally, I said that I would try my best when my nephew came back, but my nephew didn't come back. Seeing that they are at this age, they can't have a second child. Now they are also counting on finding a relative who is close to them to adopt one. Otherwise, there would be no crying spirit after death.

This hard work paid off, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were indeed a few women who showed signs of pregnancy, but it was not obvious because they were still young and wore a lot of clothes.This is really a happy event for the village. After the messy things in the past few years, the population of the village is too small. You must know that Xiaohe Village is said to be a village, but it was originally divided into the east and the west. When the number of people was the largest, it was almost There are nearly 2000 people, and now they gather together, and the sum is only three digits, not the top three. First, a group of people passed away, and then the climate changed drastically. Many young people who worked outside did not come back, and those who stayed at home Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people with children. There are not many young couples. There is a gap in the middle. The younger generation has not fully grown up. Even some young people have become young people now. It's better than being precarious. Naturally, no one is interested in helping the media.

Now, the appearance of a new life has made the people in the village excited all of a sudden. Those who have grown up children are also thinking about reuniting with each other. Those with daughters are hesitant to bring a son-in-law back. After all, here The policy is tight, and they are usually only children. If the woman is married, what should the couple do at home?People with sons are thinking about girls of the right age in the village, and they plan to find someone to talk to, and some even miss girls from nearby villages. However, before that, they still have to find a way to gather a batch of gifts OK!Not to mention anything else, these days, all gold, silver and diamond rings are fake, and hard currency is used for food, get some oil and salt, add some chicken and duck, and then see if there are any newer quilts at home. Yes, it's decent to put together a few pieces.

According to the custom, the people in the village went away, that is, some of their own eggs or something, but what kind of nutrition do they want at the moment, you must have it!And some people who are destined to have no children in this life look at the pregnant women's belly that has not yet shown, and they will inevitably have some envy on their faces.

Chen Jin also followed the crowd, and together with Bai Jing, each family sent a few eggs over. It's not that he didn't want to give more, but it's really that this kind of limelight is out of the question. Fish and meat, that's not showing off wealth, that's attracting hatred.

Chen Jin really doesn't know these people very well. These people are generally around his age, and they may have been together when they were young. However, after Chen Jin went to the town, these people did not continue to study, and most of them went out. After working part-time, the relationship gradually became estranged. That is to say, in the past two years, we all lived together, and with the friendship we had when we were naked, we were finally kind. There were really not many, so after saying a few words of blessing and putting down their things, Chen Jin went back with Bai Jing.

There was some envy in Bai Jing's eyes, he took Chen Jin's hand, and suddenly said seriously: "A Jin, let's practice hard in the future!"

"What's the matter?" Chen Jin was a little puzzled, "Don't you not like cultivation very much?"

Bai Jing said sullenly: "When the cultivation base is high, we can have our own children!"

Chen Jin was taken aback. He was really not ready for a child to appear in his life. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Abai, do you like children?"

Bai Jing was also taken aback, then blinked, and said, "Don't you like it? I saw you glanced at those women's stomachs several times, and talked so much there!"

Chen Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We are in the same mood. Didn't you realize that what I said was just polite words? We still have a long life in the future. We don't worry about children's affairs!"

Bai Jing was relieved now, and he nodded again and again: "Well, if you say you're not in a hurry, you're not in a hurry!" He also didn't want to be in a hurry to have a child. If he had a child, Chen Jin might devote most of his energy to the child. What will he do then?It's better to let Chen Jin cultivate slowly like now, and at least wait for three to five hundred years. Both of them have enough cultivation bases, so that's safer, right?
