Chapter 065: Food is starting to run short
"I only arrived a few days ago, I heard that I have been running on the road for more than a month, and it took several trains to arrive, and it was your father's cousin who came, you should call me uncle, why have I never heard you say that you still have such a relative in your family?" Dad Jing hesitated a little, and then continued:
"I was supposed to live at your eldest brother's house, but I don't know why I lived in Su Meimei's house, it seems that I came to Su Meimei this time."
At the mention of Su Meimei, the atmosphere in the entire living room was a little cold, and the grandmother's family had already returned to their house, leaving Jing's father who was still pounding garlic seedlings, Jing's mother who was fiddling with mushroom bags, and Jingshu who was making frog ropes.
Jing Shu raised her head and narrowed her eyes unconsciously, she remembered very well that in her previous life, there were absolutely no relatives who came from afar, let alone her grandfather's cousin who came to find Su Meimei, where was the butterfly effect fanning out?
Jing's mother sighed, "In the early years, my father and cousin came here to go to the countryside to learn young people, and after a few years, his family was recalled, and my father didn't have such a good life and stayed." I didn't remember when I was a few years old, and I listened to my mother talk about these things later, and then after my parents passed away, I completely cut off contact with my hometown. ”
Jingshu frowned and thought, "It's been several years since my grandfather died, so why did I suddenly come from thousands of miles after so many years of no contact?" What's the secret of the ulterior motives? ”
Dad Jing nodded, "Seeing that your eldest brother's face is not good, there may be other things in this, since it has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it." ”
"The old man came so far away, he still has to go and see, and besides, the people of my parents' generation are basically gone... Ay. Jing's mother sighed.
In the end, the whole family decided to wait for the old man to leave and give him a ride, mainly because Jing's mother was hypocritical: "I really don't want to go to her aunt's house, I can see through her." ”
A stranger Jing Ma will never be so sad, the problem is that she grew up together since she was a child, and she has all the good things for Su Meimei, and Jing Ma is good to Su Mei from the bottom of her heart, what is the result?
Su Meimei not only didn't help Jing's mother when she was in difficulty, but also calculated how to take advantage of Jing's mother, which completely broke Jing's mother's heart.
"It's okay, it's time to check it out." Jingshu thought, she must find out what butterfly effect fanned something that she didn't have in her previous life, and she wouldn't take Su Meimei lightly.
The work of the hand is getting faster and faster, Jing Shu quickly made out hundreds of frog ropes, this is the previous life with the frog keeper to learn the technique, the rope is actually a slipknot, and the dog rope has the same work, through the adjustment can be applied to the small frog to the neck and limbs of the big frog, to prevent the frog from jumping can not be found.
After all, in the last days when insects are rampant and frogs are almost dead due to high temperatures, raising a frog is very precious, and not everyone can afford to raise it, and the biggest role of raising frogs is to eat insects, but the premise is that the owner must provide water and adapt to the temperature.
For this reason, Jingshu also went to the glass factory to steal a lot of containers containing frogs, generally the frogs stay in the containers, and every few hours they can hold the rope to eat the inexplicable extra insects at home, and the bell horn frog can live for more than ten years after raising it, and can eat all the insects around him, but unfortunately in the difficult living conditions of the last days, few people can do it.
In just a few days, the bell horn frogs in Jingshu's Cube space have already laid a lot of tadpoles, and the three outside the villa have not reacted at all.
"Tomorrow I will take your baby frog to the unit to eat insects, I have been too nervous about insecticides recently." Jing's mother said.
Jingshu agreed while watching the episodes in the group.
Wang Qiqi No. 13: "Now @ luxury car monopoly No. 5, @风3号, @汪大昭1号, @朱凡7号四人家里所有吃的被腐尸虫吃干净了, who still has something to eat and is willing to barter with them, or sell them some?" They are already queuing in front of the supermarket, but it is estimated that it will take two days to queue up to buy things. ”
Then the gossip in the group said that their own family had been wasted a lot, and now they don't even eat instant noodles, only cornmeal and rice are left, and it's not enough to eat Yunyun.
I have baby No. 13 with less milk: "I can exchange 5 catties of dried sweet potatoes and @Wang Dazhao for all the baby products he prepared." "Everyone almost knows that Wang Dazhao's pregnant daughter-in-law died because she ate vegetables sold by scalpers, and her body was forcibly burned on the same day.
Wang Dazhao No. 1: "Okay." The ten cans of milk powder that are not polluted are all for your dumplings to drink. ”
I have baby No. 13 with little milk: "Thank you so much, then I'll give you another ten catties of rice!" Now the milk powder is out of stock, and I can't buy it. ”
Wang Dazhao No. 1: "Thank you." ”
As soon as they saw that someone still had a snack like dried sweet potatoes at home, many people were excited, and they exchanged half a catty of rice for some dried sweet potatoes, and as for the other three people, there was nothing worth changing at home, even if Wang Qiqi pulled the strings, it was unsuccessful.
In the end, Wang Xuemei promised to pay 300 yuan per person to send them a bowl of rice to the supermarket tomorrow, which is still for Wang Qiqi's sake.
Some time ago, there were scalpers selling vegetables, but they all disappeared during this time, and the cabbage couldn't be bought for a thousand yuan, and the special vegetables provided by the leaders were much less, not to mention the high-priced grain sellers.
All the food factories have stopped production, the supermarkets have cut off all other goods, only rice, noodles are sold every day in limited quantities and for a limited time, and everyone wants to save some more food.
The sunlight disappeared for half a year, and there was a high temperature and lack of water, and even the country was going to implement an artificial sun, which means that there is no large-scale food grown now, and everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem, although there is still food, there is not much left, and they all want to stock up on some food.
Many people feel that they have hoarded too much grain half a year ago and regret hoarding less today, and no one wants to sell grain in this situation.
The next day, Jing Shu took five frogs tied to the rope to Jing Ma's unit, only to figure out that Yu Caini used pesticides to kill insects, and there was nothing in short supply, only Jing Ma's poor side had nothing.
But fortunately, the garlic sprouts and spinach on Jing's mother's side, and the oyster mushrooms are all lush, and the water is extremely gratifying.
Jingshu pulled the rope and released the bell horn frog, the frogs in the space were obviously active, and they went to look for insects, and the other three frogs were much more dull.
"Mom, why do you have so many carrion insects here?" Jingshu looked at the piles of carrion insects in the corner that were about to take shape and asked, these will definitely be tens of thousands of carrion larvae in two days.
"Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and don't dare to go to places with pesticides." Jing Ma said.
Just as the two of them were chattering, footsteps sounded, "Director, the vegetables over there are estimated to have been eaten by insects, you see how well our dishes grow here, we have experimented with several solutions according to different medicines." ”
