Chapter 86

Compared with the jubilant joy of the "military families", those children in the family who became "deserters" after enlisting in the army, and even did not sign up for the army for fear of suffering, felt a little bad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

These people have a solid background, and if it was usual, it would be more expensive, and they would not take that little money into their eyes at all. But now, seeing that prices are rising step by step, the money in the hand is no longer valuable, and there is no stable investment to operate, no matter how much money is in the hand, it makes people feel insecure.

To make matters worse, the levy government has quietly closed most of the private shops! Does this mean that even if you have money in the future, you may not be able to buy things? What's more, will the money in your hand suddenly turn into useless waste paper one day?!

This move has really caused panic among many people.

When the Guomao supermarket, which is located in the best location on the streets of the city, appeared and opened its doors overnight, the citizens who were notified lined up to shop in the early morning, and saw the so-called "special zone for military dependents" that were not eligible to buy goods without military discount cards, as well as the significant difference in the preferential prices of military personnel, and the citizens of Kyoto, who had a keen sense of politics, immediately understood the implicit orientation of these policies. The parents who used to spoil their children immediately pressed their pampered children to beg their grandfathers to sue their grandmothers to let them join the army, and those "deserters" who had been at large for a long time were also sent back by their parents.

In terms of rules, it is estimated that there is no place to compare with a disciplined army. How is it possible to make those people come and go when they want to? Maybe it's really an iron law, or maybe it's to establish authority, even those who boast of a hard relationship don't get what they want!

"What do you mean by that idiom?" Recently, Yan Bin, who has been working hard under the scorching sun every day and turned into a black charcoal, squatted on the grass at will, drank half a bowl of mung bean soup violently, and then smacked his lips and said, "Oh yes, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!" ”

"I said how could I ignore those 'deserters' before, it turns out that the latter is here on hold!" Su Lei was not white in the first place. Now it's been like this for days, and it's even darker.

"If you want to carry out militarized management, of course, you must first determine the supremacy of the army!" Shi Yichen is no different from them, although he doesn't have to go and move bricks and walls with mud himself. But he took care of the positions of technician, budget officer, data clerk, safety officer, quality inspector and so on, and the block he was responsible for also had a watchtower to build, which worked harder than the other members of the team, and was also sunburned into black charcoal. "But the above didn't do it all, saying that they would sign up again when they were recruited at the end of the year. It's a chance to give them a chance to make amends. ”

"Yes, if you dry it like this, I guess those people should learn to be good in the future......"

Nowadays, the price of oil is ridiculously expensive, the construction site is in the far suburbs, far away from the city, and there is no direct bus or subway, no one wants to spend that oil money to drive over, and everyone simply stays in the temporary tent at the construction site to rest during the lunch break. It's just that the weather is hot, and the tent is like a steamer. People didn't stay in it for a while, and they sweated all over, let alone taking a nap, and they couldn't stand it after sitting for a while.

Fortunately, everyone's body is not what it used to be, if it was the current situation a year ago, it may not be a while to faint from heat stroke, and the skin is sunburned, but now you can work directly under the scorching sun, but I just feel that my body is wet and a little uncomfortable.

The official start of work has not yet arrived, and a few young people naturally will not rush to go out to find guilt at the hottest time. Everyone had lunch and took a break. They walked out of their tents in groups and into the woods not far from the construction site.

The grove is shady and shady, but there are many mosquitoes, and any mosquito repellent water does not work. After staying for a few minutes, he was bitten all over his body, and no one dared to run here to hide from his laziness. However, their team has special mosquito repellent skills, I don't know how the captain came up with it, a few green plant juices on the body, there are not so many mosquito bites, and they are not lazy when they come over. If you don't stay there and just walk around, you won't be so attracted to mosquitoes.

"This thing doesn't look very pretty, I didn't expect it to taste so good! I need to catch a little more, Huihui's appetite has improved a lot lately, and she can eat more than half a bowl every time. I don't know how Yan Bin found the hiding place of the monkey through the thick grass, his eyes swept away, he squatted down and stretched into the grass, and pulled his hand under the grass a few times, and he could catch several "fat and strong" monkeys.

Originally, everyone had the impression that the best time to catch a monkey was in the evening. At that time, the monkeys hiding in the cave during the day would climb up the trees before it was completely dark, and in the countryside they would catch a lot of them in each tree with an electric light. And this summer is not the usual, probably because there are too many weeds on the ground, so that they mistakenly think that it is very safe, many of them hide in the grass, since the original one came to hide from the lazy soldier found out, everyone always loves to come to catch when resting, and when they go home at night, it is a delicious and nutritious dish, which can save a lot of meat money for the family!

"Don't go far, don't go deep into the woods!" Shi Yichen shouted, and when he saw that everyone had answered, he continued to look for it with his head down. Everyone in the family loves to eat, and even Mo Mo, who didn't dare to touch it, was stimulated by him to eat one, and he liked it, and he had to eat a small bowl every day.

"Why are there so many grasshoppers?"

Hearing Su Lei shouting there, everyone was startled and hurriedly ran over.

Seeing that there was no water for a long time, and the ditch full of weeds was densely packed with grasshoppers, everyone saw that their scalps were numb, and they wished that they would burn all those disgusting things with a fire. It's just that the drought for several days has not had much impact on the weeds, I don't know if it is the effect of the white fog every night, or their roots are too deep, not to mention the withered yellow, not even the combination of green and yellow, the fire can't burn at all.

"Doesn't that mean that locust plagues can break out in times of severe drought? You say, is it possible to ......" Shi Yichen looked at it for a while, and suddenly spoke.

Everyone frowned, and their faces were clouded with gloom. Although they are not peasants, they do not need to think about it to know that if there is a locust plague this year and the grain production bases do not harvest, I am afraid that the already unbearable prices will rise even more. What's more, their comrades-in-arms worked hard under the scorching sun to open up the wasteland, and the new seedlings were planted.

"No, you have to report this matter to your superiors, you catch it first, and I'll go to the tent and make a call."

In the evening, Shi Yichen talked about it at home, he was originally a veteran. Uncle Shi, who is now back in the army and is soon reused, said: "This matter has long been noticed by the above, but I am afraid of causing panic, so I have been hiding it." I've heard that a lot of people have reported this recently, and I guess they can't control the situation. Soon it will be impossible to hide. ”

"Isn't there enough food for them to eat in the vast wasteland? You probably won't run to the city, will you? Mo Mo had no concept of locusts, but she remembered that when she was a child, her family harvested wheat, and she was very envious when she saw the children in the village catching grasshoppers in groups of three or five roasting and eating. When Dad saw it, he caught her and roasted her, and threw away all the body. Just eat those four small thin legs that are not enough to plug between the teeth. She had long forgotten the smell of grasshopper legs, but she still remembered the smiling faces of her parents and the satisfaction and pride she felt at that time.

"Maybe that's impossible, in the current world, what is impossible?"

Seeing that the family members were worried, Mo Mo also felt heavy in his heart, very uncomfortable, and even the delicious fried monkey had no appetite to continue eating. She used to be too well protected by her parents and lovers, and her life circle was simple, and she could experience the difficulty of life, but she had never experienced it personally. There is always a hazy feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, even if it is emotional, it is just talking, but in fact there is no way to empathize. But in recent days, with more and more people in contact, I have also started the first job in the real sense of my life, overloaded every day, and from time to time I am scolded by the leader, my body is tired, and my heart is tired. I really felt the hardships of life.

And what shocked Mo the most was when he accompanied his grandmother to the supermarket early every Monday morning. Because there were several cases of housewives being robbed in the community, the community management office reminded everyone to be vigilant and it was best to go together. Don't leave an order lightly. It doesn't matter if the things I bought were robbed, Mo Mo was worried that the old lady would accidentally encounter the murderous person who was injured, and she was not like Shi Yichen and Uncle who went to work as early as they could, so she took the initiative to take on the responsibility of "escorting" the old lady.

She originally thought that now that prices are just a little higher, everyone may have to cut back on food and clothing, and it is not as casual as usual. No big deal. Unexpectedly, the situation was much more serious than she imagined! Watching the housewives desperately calculate, they are all calculating to buy, not to mention meat dishes, some even buy cheaper cornmeal to prepare for eating mixed with white flour, and some use eggs instead of meat. Mo Mo has eaten cornmeal pancakes, which are rough and hard, and it is okay to try it occasionally, but it is definitely not comfortable to be a staple food. The usually popular fresh milk section not only has few shelves but also not many stocks, and there are only a few people who buy them, and it is estimated that the average family cannot afford this extravagant consumption.

Later, when talking about this, my grandmother said that the family had a large amount of grain exchanged a year ago, and there was still an empty room to grow vegetables in a greenhouse, so the burden was not so heavy. And those who had no land in the first place, have been buying and eating, the previous livelihood was not good, did not make much money, and the price is so high, there may be no conditions to build a greenhouse and grow their own vegetables to eat, what can you do if you don't save money? You can't just squander your savings and go to the street to ask for food when you run out of money, right?

Later, when he saw the enthusiasm of the Yan family's uncles and aunts, Mo Mo sighed even more. Even if Yan Bin entered the regular army, the family has some savings, but Yan's father and mother did not relax at all, and still worked hard to maintain the small construction team, and recruited many forty or fifty-year-old uncles to re-form the team, not only to take over the work of building a warm house, but also to do the outsourcing business of moving bricks and cement to a large construction company, and even on a hot day, he didn't even rest on weekends!

Whenever Uncle Yan came home sweating, Mo Mo secretly congratulated Shi Yichen for persuading his father to enter the martial arts hall early. If not, there is nothing to do with the family, and my father is over forty years old, how can it be so easy to enter the army, and he became an instructor as soon as he entered! She didn't think Uncle Yan was bad like this, although he looked hard, his spirit was very good, and his body was getting stronger and burly day by day, so there was nothing to blame. But in the end, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, Mo Mo admires Uncle Yan, but he doesn't want his father to work so hard!

How good it is to be an instructor, teaching recruits every day, I am also diligent in training, and my skills are getting better and better day by day, even if I am in the wind and sun when I am training, but in the end it is easier than carrying cement, and I am respected, and my salary is good.

It didn't last long, and the locust plague couldn't be hidden. The first thing that caught everyone's attention was, of course, the relatively free Internet.

Kyoto is a big city, and if it is deliberately concealed, the citizens living in the central city will not be able to find out. However, it is not the same in small cities or counties close to farmland. Nowadays, the construction of city walls is in full swing in various cities across the country, not to mention the recruits involved in the construction, even the average resident can detect the infestation of locusts when he walks a little to the suburbs. What's more, the peasants who moved in from the county towns still thought about their own fields, and even if they were not allowed to leave the city easily, as long as they wanted to go out, they could always find opportunities.

As a result, more and more people talk about the locust plague, and there are countless pictures and videos related to the Internet, and the technical personnel of the relevant departments cannot delete them even if they work overtime.

"So, just announced?" Mo Mo didn't change his face and picked up a fried monkey and threw it into his mouth, and said while slowly chewing and tasting the delicious taste in his mouth.

"There's no way to control it at all, there's no other way than to announce it!" Su Ran looked tired, he was specially recruited into the information technology department a month ago, and he stayed up late to work overtime almost every day, but he was tired enough. Fortunately, the nationwide network architecture has been built, and the busiest time is over, and he can finally take a breath.

"I've heard that a lot of planes have been sent to spray medicine everywhere recently, so I hope it can help."

"It's useless." Su Ran knew more than ordinary people, shook his head and sighed, "It can only kill some small beetles, and it has little effect on locusts, and I heard that that thing has also evolved resistance." ”

"What then? You can't just watch them destroy the crops, can you? ”

"Of course, you can't just watch it, saying that we want to give full play to the advantages of our country's large number of people and call on the whole people to join hands to fight, it is estimated that a notice will be issued in the next two days......"

"Catch it with your bare hands!" Thinking of the dense insects in the pictures and videos, several girls shivered and got goosebumps. But if there is a notice, they will not back down easily. Obeying military orders as a soldier is one thing, and the most important thing is that in the face of an existential crisis, whether it is a woman or a child, as a member of the human race, everyone has an unshirkable responsibility!
