Doomsday foresight

After Jinxi cleaned up the donkey shed, seeing that nothing was going on at home, she went out to visit Zhang Cheng's house.Today's snow is not as big as the previous two days.

"Why are you alone at home?" When Jinxi arrived, Zhang Cheng was watching a movie on his computer. Although he couldn't access the Internet, he could watch movies with electricity.

"Grandpa Cao took them to the front. It seems that someone's family is sick. They have gone since they came back from you, and they will probably be back soon. Come to the kang. Is it cold outside?"

"It's minus [-] degrees." Jin Xi took off his down jacket, and inside was a close-fitting fur vest.

When I took the clothes back that day, my second aunt and Yingzi were very rare, so my grandpa asked my grandma to destroy two of them. These two coats are more fashionable and more beautiful than warm. Grandma cut the clothes , and sewed a few small waistcoats that fit close to the body, and they are warm and not too eye-catching when worn under a cotton-padded jacket or down jacket.

Those fur coats have been put away properly, they don’t need them now, and they dare not just wear them out like that. Even if Yingzi’s sister-in-law likes a coat, she just wears it for a few laps at home, and then puts it down. It walks in the village, it is purely eye-catching.

Jin Xi and Zhang Cheng were lying on the kang, covered with a quilt, watching a dish. After a while, they heard voices, and Zhang Cheng sat up, "They're back."

After a while he heard the door knock, Zhang Zhong entered the room with air-conditioning.

"Brother, why did you come back?" Zhang Cheng didn't see the people behind him.

"I came back to get medicine for wounds. Two houses in the middle of the village were crushed by the snow." Zhang Zhong patted the snow twice, and went into the house to get medicine.

"Whose family is it?" Jin Xi asked nervously.

"I don't know either, it's the one with the big tree in front of the door, and the one behind them. The one in front just dug out a person with a broken leg, and the one behind died." Zhang Zhong said as he spoke. Take medicine from the cabinet.

"That's Erpingzi's house, and the fifth uncle's second uncle's house should be behind it." Jin Xi thought for a while and said. "No, I have to go and have a look." Jin Xi said as he got up from the kang.

Erpingzi was about the same age as him. They used to be in the same school, and Fifth Uncle was his brother, even though Second Uncle's family had no relationship with them.

"I'll go with you too." Zhang Cheng also went to the ground to put on his shoes and clothes.

"Go with Brother Zhong, I'll tell Grandpa when I get home." Jinxi put on his down jacket and ran out.

After talking to the old man, he really couldn't sit still, and the whole family hurried over to have a look.

The snow on the road was too deep, and the road was difficult to walk. Jinxi helped grandpa.

When I walked to the place, I heard crying, and the person who crushed to death was the second boy of the fifth uncle's second son, who was only in his teens.Hearing the crying of his second aunt, Jinxi felt very uncomfortable, let alone his grandfather, who had little contact with the young people in the village because he went to school, but his grandfather almost watched these children grow up.

Grandpa comforted the numb Fifth Uncle who was crying, and Jinxi also went to help, there was another one in the room.There was movement, no injuries, but couldn't get out.

I was busy here when I heard a bang.

"Another family has fallen."

"It's Jinqi's house."

"Jinqi is your family." A person tugged at the person next to him, and Jinxi realized that it was Ye Jinqi.

Ye Jinqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Dad, Mom—where are you Jinlin?" Jinxi, who was not far away from him, felt the tremors with the loud voice.

"Hey, I'm fine with your mother." The voice was his father.Some thick.

"Brother, I'm here." After a while, a young man of eighteen or nineteen suddenly ran over from the front.

Ye Jinxi obviously felt that Ye Jinqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"People safe is good."

The people present also breathed a sigh of relief. This family really escaped a catastrophe by coming out to help.

Uncle Six, the village head, saw that three houses had collapsed in the village, so he hurriedly ordered people to go door-to-door to notify them, and if the houses were not strong, they would come out quickly, and even if they were strong, they would be swept away.

Then everyone found that the houses whose houses had collapsed were almost on the same line, and the village head hurriedly notified the other two families on that line to change places quickly.It is estimated that the foundation was damaged during the previous earthquake, otherwise it would all come from this line.

The people who were trapped in the house were rescued, it was getting late, and the snow was getting heavy. The people whose houses collapsed went to live with their relatives first, and tomorrow they will organize people to get the food out of the house. We also need to discuss and arrange.

When Jinxi woke up the next day, he heard from Jinyang, who had gone out early in the morning, that two other houses had also collapsed last night. These houses happened to be on the same line as Zhao Sheng’s house at the time. It is estimated that the earthquake had left the disaster behind. up.

It was too cold to build a house, and there were still a few vacant houses in the village. The family of the second son of Wu Ye's family went to Wu Ye's house, and the four members of Ye Jinqi's family went to his grandfather's place. The villagers helped get the food out of the cellar.After a few days, peace was restored in the village.

After more than a week, it was finally sunny, but it was getting colder outside, and the villagers were unwilling to go out of the house if they had nothing to do. Grandma and second aunt made two cotton-padded jackets, cotton trousers, and a thin one for Zhang Zhong and the others. I wore a thick one with leather on the outside, and my grandma made it out of a fur coat. Zhang Zhong and the others liked it very much. They found a few clothes that couldn't be worn from the pile of clothes they had left I took it for grandma to use. Although this kind of material is good, but the style can't be worn now.It's better than using waste.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it can reach minus [-] degrees at night. The elderly and children are not out of the house. In order to keep the house warm, they have to keep burning the kang, and the firewood is reduced very quickly.

Maybe the donkeys and sheep at home are eating more and more in the cold weather, and there is not much feed left. By the beginning of next spring, there are not many livestock in the village, and there are not even many poultry. There was no harvest last year. There is no feed, and it will be killed early or late when the weather is cold, and it can be eaten in the freezer until the snow melts next year.When the old man went out for a walk, someone asked him to kill the sheep and donkeys. Even if they didn't kill all of them, killing half of them would save a lot of feed.

The old man went home to discuss with Jinxi, but Jinxi did not agree.

Since the disaster, Jinxi has taken good care of the animals at home. If it wasn't for his second uncle and aunt's pigs, who seemed to be scared by locusts, and they only eat and don't grow meat, he would definitely keep them.

In the past six months, the donkeys at home have grown a lot taller. If it wasn't for the obvious features, some people would mistake them for horses. Regardless of the cold weather, the two donkeys have almost no effect, and even have long hair growing on their bodies.There are also chickens at home. The hens are better. Except for laying more eggs, the thickness of the hair has not changed much. The rooster has grown to more than half a meter tall, with gorgeous feathers, high combs and long tails.

The sheep also grew thicker wool and grew in size. They still survived well in such cold weather.

The big yellow dog at home has also grown hair, and there is a long hair around the head. The kennel was rebuilt by Jinyang later and is surrounded by thick thatch. Although it does not grow much except for the longer hair, Jinxi just feels Seeing that the dog at home has changed, it seems to be more vigilant. If there is any movement in the yard, it will always bark, and it will not eat food given by outsiders. It was not like this before. Who gave the food back then? It wanted it all, a few days ago Jinxi found two corn pancakes near the kennel, they were frozen hard, and it didn't eat them.

Later, Jinxi asked Zhang Zhong to check it. It seemed that there were sleeping pills on it. Maybe it was because the village had a bad heart and wanted to steal the dog.

Jinxi has seen all these changes, he doesn't know whether these changes are good or bad, he just subconsciously wants to keep these animals, and has a vague feeling that these animals will be of great use in the future.Since the dream came true, Jinxi has become more and more confident in her premonition.

It's rare that there is no wind, no snow, and the sun is bright today. Jinxi thought that Dabao had been trapped in the house for so many days, so she went out to play with Zhang Cheng.

Not going far away, Jinxi took them to Dongshan, where the snow was so thick and white everywhere, Jinxi took them to a gentle place with no potholes, skiing.

The snow was deep, and they walked up and down. When they went, other young people in the village also went to play.Perhaps when the weather was good, most of the people in the village came out, and laughter once again filled the countryside.

I haven’t seen such a snowy day for several years. Jinxi remembers that when she was a child, she often went skiing on the slopes. Sometimes she didn’t need a sled, she just sat on the snow and slid down. for a while.Today, I relive the joy of my childhood again, and leave all the disasters behind.

This day, the family made dumplings, stuffed with sauerkraut and pork, and the stuffing made by grandma was delicious enough for everyone to eat. Zhang Chenglai stayed at Jinxi's house, because he was too full and didn't want to go out because it was cold.

Sitting on the kang after dinner, playing with Dabao Jinyang and the other four, this is the easiest way to play. Dabao has a simple mind, and his expression can always make people guess what it is, but everyone likes to see him secretly having fun after winning , also let him.Huzi ran around on the kang, looking at this for a while, and which one for a while, and then reported to Dabao, although he reported wrongly several times.It's just a game, no one is serious.

The next morning Dabao went out to fry eggs and came back with a sad face.

"What's the matter?" Jinxi walked out of the kitchen with a pot of corn stubble porridge, and asked with concern when he saw Dabao's appearance.

"The hen is naughty." Dabao said with red eye circles.

"Don't cry, come in and let me have a look." Jinxi said as he put the porridge on the kang table in the waist room, and quickly looked at it, only a little bit of skin, but it's red, it's probably going to be green in a while, " It's okay, Huhu doesn't hurt anymore, I'll beat it later to avenge you."

"I didn't find any eggs." Dabao pouted. This was his favorite thing to do. No matter how cold it was, he had to pick eggs in the morning.

"I'll chase it away and you pick it up later." After Jinxi finished speaking, he rubbed Dabao, and the pain didn't hurt so much, so he put on a cotton jacket and went out, and the wind was cold as soon as he went out.

He stomped his feet and dragged Dabao to the chicken coop, only to find that the hen was brooding.

"Why do you think the chicken is cuddling at this time? It's so cold, it may not survive." The second aunt said while nursing the eggs.

"Who knows, everything is strange this year. These are about the same." The old lady counted exactly thirty eggs. "That's all."

After hearing this, the second aunt put down the egg on her hand, "Put it on the kang of my house."

"The house in Jinxi, your house has a lot of people, Hu Zi still lives with you."

"Yes, Second Aunt, let us go. There are not many people going to our house." Jin Xi said when he entered the house from the outside.

"You don't mind it being buried." Second Aunt smiled, Jinxi tidied up her house more neatly than her.

"Don't worry, this is our family's important property." Jinxi said, looking at the eggs, "Choose a few more milk, I think our hens seem to be much bigger, and the kang is warm enough every day."

"No need, it's so cold today, I don't know if I can feed myself."

"What are you afraid of? I kept them in the house when I was young, and then let them out when they were older. Aren't all the chickens in our house doing well." It means that the speed of laying eggs slowed down and returned to the previous state, once every two days or every three days one.

The old lady thought about it for a while, so she hatched first and then said.Ten more were picked.

The brooding hen was taken to the Jinxi house, and the old lady took good care of it, paying attention to it when it was hot or cold.Jinxi also cut up the locusts caught in the previous locust plague and fed them to the hens. They bought a lot of them from others and dried them in the sun.Every time Jin Xi sees such a big thing, he always finds it very strange how it grows so big.

Time slips away slowly, the weather is cold and people don't go out of the house very often, although it doesn't snow continuously, but it will always clear snow every two or three days, people in the village start to get together to play mahjong or cards, and they don't feel as nervous as before up.

Jin Xi didn't go out, just a few cousins ​​came to him to play poker, Zhang Cheng came every day, the two of them finished watching all the DVDs on Zhang Cheng's computer, sometimes the whole family gathered together to face the computer, it was really boring what to do.

Normally, the hens at home can hatch in 21 days, but their hens have not moved for 30 days. Grandma is a little worried, for fear that they will not be able to hatch. Fortunately, Jinxi heard a cracking sound one night on No.30. , Turn on the light and see, the chick came out.

Newborns are always a joy. Of the forty eggs selected by grandma and second aunt, three failed to hatch, and the other 37 survived. Jinxi looked at the little yellow ball and liked it very much, so cute , the vitality of these 37 chicks is much stronger than that of the previous chicks. They can run around all over the kang just after they were born, and they are very energetic in chirping.After raising it for a few days, the fluff on the body is fully fluffed, thick and as big as a fist, and then it is raised in the main room outside.Jinxi comes out to clean up the chicken coop every day.

After watching a lot, Jinxi found that every time the door was opened, the cold wind came in, and the chickens huddled together to keep each other warm, and when the door was closed, they returned to normal, which was very fun.One time the tigers lifted the cover and grabbed two chickens, just as grandpa came back from the outside, and when he didn't pay attention, the two got out. They changed places, but they didn't expect that there was nothing wrong with these two chickens.It can be seen that this chicken is also very good at adapting to the environment.
