Mu Nan lay on the bed and shut himself up, still picking at the pillow in his hands, while Qin Huai was sitting on the sofa, arranging the cleaned clothes very virtuously, folded vests, t-shirts and shorts neatly into a pile, and put them in In the cloakroom, when I came out, I saw the salted fish on the bed, smiled and stepped forward to coax, "Still up?"
Mu Nan snorted: "I'm paralyzed, I can't get up."
Qin Huai gently straightened Mu Nan's hair: "I'm paralyzed, this is just right, from now on our range of activities can be all confined to the bed."
Hearing this, Mu Nan turned over in horror, and stared at him with wide eyes: "Wow! You are so perverted!"
Qin Huai patted his head with a smile: "Okay, get up quickly, the chick has hatched."
The chick broke its shell, this is a big deal, Mu Nan didn't stay in bed anymore, he got up in a blink of an eye, Qin Huai stood aside and looked at his vigorous appearance, compared to when he woke up, he moaned and groaned in pain here and there, uncomfortable and unable to move With a completely paralyzed look, his tone was slightly cold: "It seems that the information base of my knowledge of you will be updated again."
Mu Nan turned her head, not quite understanding: "What do you mean?"
Qin Huai smiled at him, stretched out his hand to give him a hand, and tidied up his messy clothes caused by rolling on the bed: "It's nothing interesting, you don't need to understand, and you probably won't want to understand."
After the wrinkled clothes were straightened, Qin Huai straightened his chicken nest, and then let him go: "Okay, let's go see your little chicken."
Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai suspiciously, saw that Qin Huai was going to tidy the bed sheets and didn't plan to talk to him any more, so he ran downstairs to see the newborn chick, counting the time, from laying eggs to being born, it took about half a month Yes, Mu Nan flipped through the notebook and calculated the time, it was exactly twenty days, which was the same as the strategy time he found before.
He was also afraid that the hen would not be able to hatch eggs, so he bought an egg incubator specially. He wanted to wait a month this time. If the eggs died and did not hatch, then the next time the hen laid eggs with chicks, he would The eggs were artificially hatched, and now the chicks have been born successfully. Although one is small and the feathers on its body are still fluffy, all four chicks have been born successfully, and it is estimated that they will be able to run around the house tomorrow.
Qin Huai took a handful of alfalfa and threw it into the rabbit's nest. Then he came to the door of the hen house: "Can you see clearly? If you can't see clearly, you can go in and have a look, but be careful that the hen will nick you."
Mu Nan didn't dare to go in. He always felt that as long as it was a creature with cubs, it was very fierce. Rabbits were fierce, and chickens were also fierce. Anyway, as long as the cubs can grow up smoothly and become his dinner, it doesn't matter if they don't look at it right now. Important, just a little curious: "I don't know if it's a rooster or a hen, brother, can you tell the difference between male and female?"
Qin Huai: "I'm still young. When I get older, I can tell the difference by looking at the paws and the butt."
Mu Nan snorted, recalling what Qin Huai had taught him before, and said again: "Brother, do you want to castrate the rooster?"
Qin Huai: "..."
"Your brother, I am not capable to this level."
Although it involves a field that Qin Huai is not good at, Mu Nan still generously expressed his understanding: "No one is perfect, so it will be fine."
Qin Huai squeezed his face: "I really appreciate your understanding."
Mu Nan was afraid that the hen would pick him up, so it was Qin Huai who went in to add food and water, and he just watched outside, and then sent a message to his friends to announce the good news.
Jian Chu also sent back a photo, which showed a little yellow chicken that was able to stand up and jump: "It was born last night, and it was about the same time as yours."
Song Jia: "I don't have mine yet. There is no sign of breaking the shell yet. I want to open it to see if there is any problem."
Mu Nan: "My brother said that next time it's best to breed the rooster together, and then leave a hen to hatch the eggs, otherwise all the hens will cuddle and stop laying eggs."
Jian Chu: "I didn't experience it the first time, but I will understand it next time. I suddenly feel that there is hope in life!"
Mu Nan: "When you get older, see if your family is male or female. I don't know if mine is male or female. If you are male, I have more females. You can come and change it. It happens that when the rooster grows up, it will It can be eaten directly, unlike hens who are reluctant to eat and wish to keep the eggs.”
Jian Chu also thought about it before, but he never thought about exchanging it with Mu Nan. He thought that if it was a rooster, he would sell it or something else depending on the situation, and then ask Mu Nan to borrow the chicken to continue mating, and the hen will keep it and lay eggs. But if Mu Nan is willing to change, that's fine too. When his family raises two more, both male and female will stay behind. The female lays eggs, and the male kills and cooks chicken soup to nourish his body.
The three of them exchanged their experience in raising chickens in the group for a while, and then comforted him when they saw the photos of eggs taken by Song Jia. Maybe his chickens would hatch in two days, so he told him not to worry.
The few people were chatting, and Song Jiacai said, "Did you find that the voices outside are much quieter today?"
Mu Nan: "Last night, I seemed to have dealt with it three or four times. Anyway, I heard the sound of cars a few times. It is estimated that most of the locusts have been wiped out, and the remaining ones are useless."
Jian Chu: "I saw someone come out of the house today, wearing long sleeves and trousers, catching insects outside."
Song Jia: "My brother has also been notified that he will go to work the day after tomorrow. It is estimated that the locusts have decreased and the factory can reopen."
Jian Chu: "It's good to be able to start work, and it will prove that the wave of locusts has passed."
Mu Nan waited for Qin Huai to come out of the chicken coop, and then went upstairs with him: "Brother, how many residential areas do you think those locusts flew over? If every residential area was cleared with fire like ours, the locusts Isn't it all dead, I'm afraid there is no chance to go south at all, should other provinces and cities be left to be devastated by locusts?"
Qin Huai said: "The locusts are not the only ones flying from north to south, they will also mate and reproduce along the way, and what we can clean up here are all temporarily stopped. I am afraid that on the first day when the locusts come, the large army will After gnawing on it, it continued to fly down.”
Mu Nan sighed: "Do you think we will see all kinds of locust food in the online shopping mall next, such as dried locusts, fried locusts, cumin locusts, or, after drying the locusts and grinding them into powder, Mix it into flour to make locust cakes?"
Qin Huai gave him a hard look: "If you don't create dark cuisine, it's really a waste of talent."
Mu Nan followed him into the room, followed him into the bathroom, and saw that Qin Huai was about to wash his hands, so he followed him and stretched out his hand: "This is also possible, after all, when there is nothing to eat, even soil can be eaten, locust powder What kind of."
Qin Huai pulled his hand under the modified faucet, rinsed it with water, squeezed out the hand sanitizer, and scrubbed it for him little by little, not even sparing between his nails. When washing Mu Nan, his own hand was also After washing and flushing, let him shake it twice by himself. Paper is also very scarce now. They don't lack it, but they can't waste it, so there is no need to wipe it with paper if it can dry naturally.
Mu Nan walked out shaking her hands, and when her hands were a little dry, she took out potato chips from the space and prepared to eat them.
Qin Huai said: "Hungry?"
Mu Nan nodded: "A little bit." She got up in the morning and had breakfast, and then rolled around on the bed, but it's not time for lunch yet. I'm a little bit hungry, and a snack is just right.
Qin Huai asked, "Do you want to eat chicken?"
"What chicken?"
Qin Huai: "Shredded chicken, the kind with coriander."
Mu Nan hesitated for three seconds, then nodded: "Eat!"
Mu Nan didn't like coriander. When he was a child, coriander and celery were not allowed into his house. The main reason was that when he smelled that smell, Mu Nan would feel sick and couldn't eat anything, even to the point where he would feel dizzy when he smelled it. Until Qin Huai left That's all.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, Mu Nan's taste would change. The situation in the world before was not as difficult as it is now. At that time, the epidemic had just passed, and although there were signs of terrible high temperature, it was not so fierce. He took Mu Nan to eat hot pot, and then saw that Mu Nan had mixed coriander and garlic The taste dish, these two things are completely refrained from by Mu Nan before.
According to Mu Nan, when a person grows up, his taste will always change a little bit. Although he still doesn't like coriander now, he still likes the taste brought by coriander, like eating hot pot, eating cold beef, eating hand Shredded chicken, which has coriander in it to enhance the flavor, has become his favorite.
For this reason, Qin Huai even specially learned to cook a lot of dishes that need to be added with coriander. Mu Nan's favorite is shredded chicken and deep-fried chicken.
But now I can’t wait until the meal time to continue eating broiler chicken. This kind of food is the best when it’s just out of the pan. After a while, the chicken will become sticky, so it’s more suitable to eat shredded chicken. It’s originally a dish. For cold dishes, soak in soup, it will be more delicious when you eat at noon.
The production of shredded chicken is not complicated, but it is a little more laborious to tear the chicken. The pieces of chicken should not be too large, so that large pieces of meat like chicken **** will not taste good, but they should not be torn too finely, so that Seasoning and chicken are not easy to separate.
Sitting in the living room on the third floor, Mu Nan watched Qin Huai sitting on a small bench tearing up chicken, and suddenly asked, "I'm eating coriander now, don't you think it's weird?"
Qin Huai glanced at him: "Which aspect is strange?"
Mu Nan: "For example, being pierced by the soul?" Even rebirth, if you want to time travel, maybe there is.
Qin Huai smiled when he heard the words: "It's normal for the taste to change. Just because I didn't eat it before and now I like it, I suspect that I will be worn by the soul. How many people in this world have to be worn every day."
Mu Nan: "Then if I am pierced by a soul, will you find out?"
Qin Huai fed a piece of chicken shreds into his mouth: "Do you think it's because I don't know enough about you to find out, or because I don't have enough IQ to find out?"
Mu Nan thinks about it too, if one day he is pierced by the soul, Qin Huai will definitely be able to find it at a glance, whether it is his understanding or IQ, thinking about him, he immediately smiled and said: "I read some novels before, and after the soul pierced , you can easily fool your family and friends.”
Qin Huai: "If you don't write it like this, how will the plot unfold later."
Mu Nan bit the tasteless chicken in his mouth, and asked curiously: "Then if I am pierced by the soul, and you find that I am not me, what will you do?"
This question made Qin Huai look at him with deep eyes: "The person who occupies your body will probably be locked up and locked in a small dark room forever. If he wants to be free, he can only leave with his soul. Then I will be imprisoned forever."
Mu Nan looked at him tut-tsk: "You really have the potential to be a pervert."
Qin Huai flicked on his forehead: "I don't know what I've been thinking all day long, are all cartoon writers thinking this way?"
Mu Nan took out her mobile phone: "I've read a lot of time-travel novels recently, so I'm posting what I feel."
Qin Huai lowered his eyes, and asked as if casually: "The one who watched time travel, but the one who watched rebirth?"
Mu Nan paused for a moment, and then said naturally: "Of course I've read a lot, these are all popular topics before, brother, if you are given a chance to be reborn, when do you want to go back?"
Qin Huai withdrew his gaze from looking at him, while adjusting the seasoning, said: "Let's go back to the sophomore year."
The second year of high school was when he separated from Mu Nan, and it was the first time he knew that even at the age of about to become an adult, he could not control his life. If he could go back to the second year of high school, he now has a hundred ways to make that man pay for his tyrannical arrogance.
"What about you? If you are reborn, when is your hope?"
Mu Nan thought for a while, and said: "I want to go back to when my parents were still there, to prevent their accidents, so that when we grow up and grandma is gone, my parents can adopt you, there are legitimate laws Program, even if your cheating dad comes back from abroad and wants to take you away, it's not that easy. At worst, he'll file a lawsuit. Anyway, he won't be able to control you after he turns 18. In this way, our family can live forever. Be neat and happy."
Otherwise, if he was allowed to go back to Qinhuai's second year of high school, he himself was a kid who was attached to other people's household registration. He would not have the ability to compete with such a rich adult, so he should go back to being a little younger to stop him. Parents' accident, this way they can grow up with Qin Huai again.
If he can grow up with Qin Huai again, he must be very, very good to Qin Huai, and he will never be as willful as he was when he was a child. He has to make money early and work hard to make a lot of money, so that if he is lucky enough, he can get it again Space, he can have a lot of time to prepare for the future.
When Mu Nan was enjoying 10,000 possibilities of rebirth, Qin Huai suddenly said, "Nan Nan, come here."
Mu Nan looked at him: "Why?"
Qin Huai: "Come here a little bit."
Mu Nan walked over, and was kissed by Qin Huai on the mouth, and immediately covered his mouth: "Brother!"
Qin Huai looked at him and smiled: "What's the matter, can't we kiss?"
Mu Nan stepped on him: "No kiss!" Then she turned around and entered the room, she kissed so fiercely yesterday that her mouth was bald, but kiss again!
Looking at the back figure running back to the room, the smile on Qin Huai's lips dissipated little by little, rebirth, ah, is not something worth looking forward to, if you want to be reborn, you must experience death once.
After lunch, it was around six or seven in the afternoon. The light outside was still bright, but not so intense that it would burn people every minute. Qin Huai changed into long-sleeved trousers made of thick denim fabric and gave the quilt hanging on the window to his hands. down.
Those quilts and sunshades were almost eaten by locusts, and there were only a few fragments hanging outside. Now the locusts are not as many as they were in the beginning, but they are not too few, so these things need to be cleaned, otherwise they will be destroyed. Attract a lot of locusts to gather.
Mu Nan didn't dare to go out, he felt that if he was surrounded by locusts, he would probably suffocate, but he opened the sunshade inside the house and looked outside, there were still a lot of locusts flying in the sky, and he immediately became excited when he saw people, although he was still screaming There was a large group of locusts, but judging by the number, it was probably only one-tenth of the locust attack on the first day.
The people next door saw Qin Huai clearing up the cover outside, Yu Zibai and Yu Feng also came out, Yu Zibai was wearing his own clothes, Yu Feng was obviously wearing Xu Ming's clothes, the length was appropriate, after all Xu Ming was quite tall, but He is thin, so the clothes are a little tight for Feng, but at least they can be worn, and the muscles on his body appear tighter.
Yu Zibai looked at Yu Feng and joked, "You have a good figure."
Yu Feng bulged his biceps and raised his eyebrows: "A man's capital is not bad."
Qin Huai smiled and asked, "What are you going to do with those locusts?"
Yu Feng pointed to their yard downstairs: "When the remaining locusts have flown away, spread them in the yard to dry, and the farm will probably recycle them."
As long as there is water and fertilizer in the planting area, it is enough, but the livestock area has always been short of food. Now that the food is falling from the sky, it is natural not to let it go.
Yu Feng said: "It is estimated that the higher-ups will issue a notice soon about how much a catty of locusts will be collected. Only when there is interest can everyone be mobilized. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the government alone to clean up the locusts that linger here. "
Seeing that there were far fewer locusts outside than on the first day, Yu Zibo said, "Now is not the best time to take action. The government should issue an announcement now to mobilize the people."
Qin Huai Kongkong caught a locust the size of a palm, looked at the sharp feet, and said: "It's not enough, there are still too many, if you don't have thick clothes and protective equipment, it's still dangerous, at least you have to wait a little longer." Wait until the government cleans up again."
The windows on the third floor can be cleaned on the top of the building, but the windows below can only be cleaned layer by layer. After throwing all the shelters that can be cleaned with long sticks into the yard on the first floor, several people went downstairs , dragged the things to the other side of the river with a tricycle and threw them down. When I came back, I happened to close the yard door that hadn't been closed in the past few days.
Fortunately, there are too many locusts outside these days, and the damage value is too high. Otherwise, the courtyard door is so open, I don't know how many people will come to visit.
After cleaning up the locusts that had died in the yard these days, Yu Feng found a bag and packed them up again, and piled them up next to the courtyard wall. Only then did they look up at the sky.
The locusts were still flying in the sky, circling towards them from time to time, but because there were not many of them, they were easily driven away.
Yu Zibai said: "After a while, it's better for us to seal up the whole courtyard."
If they sealed off the yard when they drilled the well before, at least the yard will be cleaner this time, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. In case there are some flying insects and the like again, it feels like a closed compound It is safer, but it has to wait for the locusts to pass, and save some money at home. Now there is no money or food, and I am very poor.
Seeing them cleaning the yard downstairs, Wu Zheng, Song Jia, and Cai Wentao also came out together. The big men quickly cleaned up the yard. They probably didn't go out for two or three days, so at this moment When it was time to release the wind, Cai Wentao took the big bag borrowed from Wu Zheng's family and was trying to catch the locusts.
Qin Huai saw that Cai Siqi had also come out, but instead of coming, she took the prepared food and knocked on the door of the girl's building. The girl opened the door quickly, but she was afraid that locusts would fly in, so she only opened it. With a gap, Cai Siqi quickly got in, and after a while, came out again with a ball of fabric.
Qin Huai didn't ask too much, and it was not easy for him to ask about matters between girls, and he was not very curious.
On the other hand, Song Jia saw Qin Huai and Yu Zibai looking over there, and said with a smile, "If you want, you can ask Yang Jing to save some for you."
Yu Zibai's head was full of question marks: "I want, what do I want?"
Song Jia said: "Cloth, let's sew some small rags. The small ones will be the size of a handkerchief, and the larger ones will be the size of a towel. Now there is no paper, so this is the only way to go."
Yu Zibai understood immediately, after all, their house was out of paper, but luckily there was no shortage of water, so after untying their hands, it was fine to wash them directly with water. But before they were cutting some old cloth in the house, they didn't think about the remaining cloth heads in Yang Jing's hands. Now Song Jiayi said that he could go back and add Yang Jing's account to ask. They don't lack cloth for the time being, but if they can save a little more, that's fine.
Qin Huai reacted for a while, and then understood their predicament. There are no green plants now, and all the paper is stock from before the earthquake. Paper is not food, and it is not afraid of the sun. It can be used. There is no shortage of paper in his family, so although he saves money, it is not to the extent that there is no paper available. He did not expect that his family has no paper, but this is how they live.
Several people let the wind out in the yard for a while, except Cai Wentao who was still learning how to catch locusts from Yu Feng, everyone else entered the house, Qin Huai told Mu Nan what happened just now: "So in the future, be careful when you collect things, These paper towels should also be put away, these things are temporarily out of production, so you should be careful when using them."
Mu Nan said, "How about I also ask Yang Jing to buy some cloth heads?"
Qin Huai: "It's not necessary, there was still a little homemade cloth left before, and it's okay to ask Yang Jing to make some towels."
Before Mu Nan had time to contact Yang Jing, Daniel contacted him first. Don't look at Daniel's sloppy, but sometimes his thoughts are very delicate, probably to avoid suspicion, so even though Daniel is also in the compound group, But he didn't poke Yang Jing privately, but planned to come through him.
When Mu Nan saw the news from Daniel, he passed it on to Yang Jing without thinking too much.
Daniel is currently working in the neighborhood committee. Although he is a contracted security officer, he is still a staff member of the neighborhood committee. Therefore, when someone inquires through the base's tracing system, Daniel receives the news first. After all, he is someone he knows, so Just let me know first.
Mu Nan sent a message to Yang Jing: "Your parents seem to have found them. Daniel said that the tracing office will check your residence records at the neighborhood committee."
Yang Jing: "Is it too late for me to report the death information..."
