Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Excessive silence will erupt sooner or later. This is about the woman who lost her child.

That couple was originally a resident of this neighborhood, so when the man was sent for rescue and the woman was restrained and taken away, it was inevitable that someone in the greenhouse would gossip about the inside story of this matter.

To put it bluntly, it is a tragedy caused by generations of patriarchal prejudice. A woman has several brothers and sisters in her family. She is in the middle, neglected, indifferent, beaten, scolded, and blood-sucked at will. For the bride price, the parents of the family will She married a second-married man, who is her current husband.

She didn't know it before she got married. It was said that her man's first wife died because of dystocia. Only after she got married did she know that the death of his first wife was just to save the cost of having a child. When his first wife was about to give birth, his family locked her in the house and said it was the former woman. You can give birth by yourself, why are women so expensive now, and they have to go to the hospital, and if you go to the hospital, you will lose thousands of dollars. If you have that money, it is better to buy some good supplements after giving birth.

As a result, the wife disappeared, and the child suffocated to death because of being bored for too long, but this matter cannot be spread to the outside world, so it was said that it was activated in advance, and he fell, and when the ambulance arrived, he was already gone.

Although the place they are in is not a rural area deep in the mountains and old forests, it is also a bit far from the urban area. They are not so poor that they cannot be exposed, but they are not rich. Their family can do it, but no matter how much their family hides it, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.

When she married in, life was fine at first, the man restrained himself a bit, and gradually he would beat and scold him whenever he was upset. The beating and scolding from her parents was relatively light, so the woman endured it, and then she became pregnant and gave birth. With the lessons learned from the past, she was sent to the hospital this time, but the first child was a daughter.

This patriarchal family has reached a certain level, not to mention confinement, because it was a normal delivery, and the in-laws asked to be discharged from the hospital the next day after giving birth, and they had to do housework after taking care of the child. As a result, within a few months, the child was lost. Yes, they said they put it in the yard to bask in the sun, but they were taken away by human traffickers. The woman wanted to call the police, but the man didn't want to, so he was beaten again, and said that the child was dead and reborn.

A year later, the woman became pregnant again, and it turned out to be a girl, but this time his family was not as unhappy as the first time. She was wondering if it was because the first child was lost, so she cherished this first child very much. Two, the result is that a year later, when the second girl was already stumbling and able to walk, the child disappeared again, and she was pregnant with another child at that time.

After that, the woman was silent. She knew that her two children were not lost by accident. Even though the third child was a daughter, this time she took the child very well, and even locked the child by her side when she went to the toilet. The man said several times that he wanted to take his daughter out to play, but the woman didn't want to, and even said harshly that if the daughter was lost again, she would kill their whole family.

A man knows what a woman probably knows. Although it's a pity that he can't make money, he is really afraid that he will push people into a hurry. It is illegal to sell children, even if they are his own children. He still knows a little about the law, so Fen Fern had the opportunity to grow up beside her mother.

It's a pity that it disappeared in the end, and it disappeared in front of the woman's eyes.

"So this man was stabbed to death by his wife with a pair of scissors. He didn't die at all. He deserved it!"

"It's also my fault that this woman can't stand up on her own. If she is a little tougher, the child won't freeze to death. He can only eat two bites a day. It's so cold, how can the body bear the heat without any food?"

"I'm just provoking someone, blood on my bed!" The person who said this was sleeping next to him. Although most of the blood was sucked into the clothes, some of the blood was still splashed and dirty. They moved the surrounding beds, but now that everyone has been taken away, they can only swear.

The next day, Mu Nan, who was far away in the residential area, also knew about this. Of course, after adding him as a friend, Daniel told him that Mu Nan was sighing. How come there are so many parents who are not as good as animals? Daniel said again: "Your brother's classmate's father seems to be dying soon."

Mu Nan's head was filled with question marks: "My brother's classmate?"

Daniel said: "Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan came back the day before yesterday and said that he and your brother are colleagues now."

Mu Nan paused, and then said: "Oh, but our family has a bad relationship with him, we had a falling out, and we had a fight before, but now we have nothing to do with each other."

This time Chang Niu was surprised. Hearing what Jiang Xuan said before, their relationship seemed to be quite good, but Mu Nan said so, of course he believed it. Anyway, the twists and turns in it have nothing to do with him. , he is alone, and he has nothing to make others profit, but Daniel still wrote it down, and stay away from Jiang Xuan in the future, who knows if he deliberately asked him about Mu Nan before? Although he didn't know much about Qin Huai's news, he wasn't too happy to be used.

After talking about this, Daniel said again: "We may have to be neighbors again."

Mu Nan quickly sent a few question marks: "Have you rented a house here?"

Daniel said: "Didn't the family surnamed Qi move away from the building behind you before? Wang Hui, the wife surnamed Qi, hurriedly applied to the higher-ups to rent the house back. The rent paid by the surnamed Qi before A few days, so Wang Hui continued the rent again, but changed the head of the household. In order to prevent her ex from making trouble again, and to share the rent, she asked me if I would like to share the rent. It is not the third floor, they live together On the third floor, I will live on the second floor when the time comes, and make the upstairs and downstairs a door, so it would be nice not to disturb each other."

This matter can be regarded as mutual benefit between Daniel and them. After getting along during this time, Wang Hui and the others think that Daniel has a good character. Wang Hui's father used to be a small boss, so people still know how to look at it. It's not that this disaster is coming, that Qi Kangmin can live a peaceful life with his daughter and dare not mess around with him for the rest of his life. In the current environment, depending on Daniel's daily behavior, it is still possible to cooperate with each other without talking to each other.

There is a man who is not easy to mess with who lives downstairs, and they feel more at ease upstairs, and they are not afraid that someone surnamed Qi will find him again. Now the house is not easy to rent, especially the house with good living conditions is even more difficult. So let’s rent the house first, and someone will share half of the rent. For such a large area, it only costs ten yuan a month. If you are a single family and you don’t need to have any interaction with other people, it’s a good deal no matter how you look at it.

Daniu is also satisfied with this matter. He was worried at first, but now the electricity is slowly turned on outside, and some houses that can be heated have been moved back one after another. He came late, and he used to live in the kind of house that even shared the bathroom. A small single room without a heater, so I will definitely not be able to go back, nor can I rent another house. There are too many rescued people now.

The housing conditions are quite limited. Even if those who have worked overtime started to add that kind of low-rise houses, it will not be possible to build a batch of houses that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people so quickly. Of course he is willing, isn't it just to live downstairs and take precautions for others? As a man, he should do what he can to protect the weak.

When Qin Huai came back, Mu Nan told him the news that Daniu was about to move in: "There is one less bad neighbor living nearby, and the front, back, left, and left are easy to get along with, and the air feels clear. A few minutes."

Qin Huai laughed and said, "You haven't dealt with others, and you won't be in front of us if you get along well, and the air has become a bit clearer."

Mu Nan said: "This is where we live. If the neighbor's family is too bad, even though we are just watching the fun and eating melons, what if we get caught in the pond?"

Qin Huai rubbed his worrying little head: "Okay, let's start the fire and start cooking."

When Qin Huai first went to work, Mu Nan would cook obediently every day and wait for him to come back to eat ready-made meals, but after a long time, it wasn't that Mu Nan didn't have the patience to cook, but that he knew only a few dishes, and nothing else Can’t do it, if you want to change the taste, you have to use the inventory in the space.

So in the end, it's better to wait for Qin Huai to come back from get off work to cook, but Mu Nan will prepare everything in advance, wash the vegetables, and cut the meat, so that Qin Huai can cook it directly when he comes back.

While adding fire to the stove, Mu Nan chatted with Jian Chu. By the way, he told them what Daniel told him today. When Daniel comes to live in the future, if there is something that needs collective action, maybe there will be more help.

As a result, Jian Chu's focus was obviously lost directly: "This big cow's wife is gone, and that Wang Huiyou has no husband. In the future, those who live upstairs and downstairs will inevitably have some contact. Do you think it is possible for them? Make a couple?"

Mu Nan said: "No way, this kind of thing feels like it's just a matter of fate, don't just pull the red line in front of people, be careful."

Jian Chu said: "I won't be so white-eyed and have no EQ, okay, it's fate, maybe it's fate."

While chatting with Jian Chu, Mu Nan notified Qin Huai of the content of the chat, and asked: "Do you think it will be like what Jian Chu said, is it possible for them?"

Qin Huai said: "This kind of thing, who can say it well, anyway, just let it go, don't make fun of it in front of people."

Mu Nan said: "Although I think it's better for a person to have a companion, but I also feel that if it's just make do, it's better to be alone." Anyway, he thinks that a person has a heart, and beating once for a person in a lifetime is enough Yes, although he doesn't think it's a bad thing to be widowed and remarried. After all, the real society is like this. No matter how deep the love is, there are very few people who can guard each other for the rest of their lives. But it's not good because they just lost their wives. It's not a good thing to do it just by pulling strings, and maybe there will be enemies.

Qin Huai put the soft and rotten eggplant out of the pot, poured out a large bowl of bone soup from the pot next to it, asked Mu Nan to bring the dish to the small dining table, and quickly fried a vegetable: "Okay, go wash your hands, time to eat."

Mu Nan washed his hands, then sat down on the kang with two bowls of rice: "I still feel that I have to learn how to cook, and the one or two dishes are not enough."

Qin Huai said: "You just need to know how to eat, let me see your hands."

Mu Nan stretched out his hand to Qin Huai: "It's all good, you won't be popular anymore."

Qin Huai looked at the red marks on the back of his hands that were scalded by the oil, but fortunately there were no blisters: "We still need to continue applying the medicine."

Originally, Mu Nan was naturally fair, but he hasn't been out in the past two years, and he hasn't been exposed to the sun much, so he has become even whiter after being covered, so some places that were reddened are particularly obvious. One day I accidentally overturned the frying pan, I really regret it.

Mu Nan clicked his tongue softly: "Do you know what you look like? It's like those exaggerated hands that want to call an ambulance for a little bit of cut wound. Whoever cooks and cooks has never been scalded by oil, What a big deal."

Qin Huai: "I didn't..."

Mu Nan immediately interrupted him: "Shut up! Don't set a flag!"

Qin Huai said while eating, "Meat will be on sale in two days."

Mu Nan was pleasantly surprised: "Really? The sale should be limited. Did you say when the sale will start? Now the animals raised in the farm are all grown up?"

Qin Huai said: "It's not from our side, it was transported from other places. They used to live in the outer ring area. After the earthquake, they moved out of the urban area immediately. Now it seems that they are rebuilding in Anshan City. Yes, at that time they took away a lot of supplies, such as live poultry, after such a long time, they have bred a lot, so they sent a batch of meat over to relieve the food pressure on our side."

Mu Nan said: "There must be a lot of people robbing it, and I will also rob it. It doesn't matter if you can't get it. There is meat for sale, so I can bring you meat in a fair manner with lunch."

Qin Huai said: "The unit has benefits, and we have a separate quota here, which will be better than the official sales."

I have meat at home, but I still don’t forget my friends: "Then do they have this welfare?"

Qin Huai said: "That's not clear. It's not a department. The meat sales will be notified on the official website. At that time, their department will not have a welfare quota, so it will be the same for those who rob the mall. Anyway, they are all fighting for speed."

Mu Nan said: "We still have to fight for the amount of the account, meat should not be cheap."

After eating, Mu Nan remembered what he had forgotten: "Brother, Jiang Xuan's father is dying soon, do you know about it?"

Qin Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at him: "How do you know?"

Mu Nan said: "Daniu said that Jiang Xuan went back two days ago, his parents were still in the greenhouse, the temperature reached a record low in the past two days, his father was frozen, his health was not good, and he was about to die. No more."

Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Jiang Xuan used some channels to find Mu Nan, trying to show weakness and ask for help from Mu Nan: "There is such a thing, the temperature outside is too low, even if it is a greenhouse, try to heat it But I still can’t handle some people who have physical diseases.”

Mu Nan also sighed: "Today Daniel also said that a child died of freezing last night, and that the child's father was too cruel, and he didn't feed the child for a long time, and the little girl was so skinny that there was only a layer of skin left, so Hunger and cold are gone, and then the child’s mother stabbed her husband to death in the middle of the night.”

Qin Huai said: "What's the use of stabbing to death now? It seems to be avenging my daughter. Now that I can starve the child to death, I'm afraid I didn't hurt the child in the early years. Her mother also has half of the child's death." responsibility."

Mu Nan thinks it is the same, but the child is gone, and the couple ended up in such a desperate situation, so he doesn't comment. They have nothing to worry about now, so they will evaluate with the attitude of a bystander who has nothing to do with him Others always have the feeling of standing up and talking without back pain, so live your own life well, and just learn from the misery of others.

Jiang Xuan's father is really sick. The number at the hospital has not been lined up, and he has already left. There are too many old people who died because of the low temperature, even though his father was not even sixty years old. , but the age of sixty in peacetime is completely incomparable with the age of sixty after such a long disaster. Jiang Xuan's mother had a bad feeling, so she called her son directly.

At that time, Jiang Xuan was working, but there was no way to save this kind of thing. Others could do their best to help. Day off, let him settle down his mother well, no matter how much, there will be nothing, death is too common now, it has almost become a daily life, so I want to give more help, but I don't have the extra energy.

The rented house is still in the queue, and the construction of low-rise buildings has been in progress all the time. I am also afraid that such a terrible earthquake will happen again. In addition, too many people have died now, the land is sparsely populated, and the short Buildings are always easier to construct than high-rise buildings.

At present, the buildings that are added are all small six-story buildings, which can accommodate at least dozens of households, but even if they are a world-renowned infrastructure powerhouse, but now the human and material resources plus the climatic conditions limit the infrastructure. The speed is not fast enough, so if you want a house to stay, you are now waiting in line.

So once Jiang Xuan's father is gone, how to arrange for his mother will become a problem. How can he feel at ease if his mother lives alone in a warm shed, but there is really no condition to take her to the dormitory at the unit, the dormitory of the unit They are all eight-person rooms, and some rooms are not enough or they are used as offices, so there is no room for family members.

The death of his father and the absence of his mother made Jiang Xuan's hatred towards Qin Huai gradually deepen, but what can he do if he hates him no matter how much he hates, he has to beg for his own food and clothing at the hands of others. Apart from forbearance, he can only forbear, but looking at his old mother overnight, Jiang Xuan secretly vowed in his heart that one day, sooner or later, he will definitely trample Qin Huai under his feet, and pay back a thousand times what he has endured today. go back.

If Qin Huai knew what Jiang Xuan was thinking, he would have ridiculed him for being really out of his mind, and not the protagonist of the counterattack, thinking that just taking an oath would be useful? However, although Qin Huai didn't know what Jiang Xuan was thinking, he never minded speculating on others with the greatest malice.

They would have been deceived by Jiang Xuan back then. One was that they met when they were teenagers. He hadn’t experienced those things abroad. Who would maliciously speculate on people who have already been included in the friend camp.

Now that Jiang Xuan's face is exposed before his eyes, he can use his toes to imagine what Jiang Xuan would think. It is absolutely impossible for a person like him to find the reason from himself, or even look at it rationally. Jiang Xuan He will definitely blame others for his own misery and his father's death, for example, blame him for not helping him, so he deeply hates himself.

So when he learned of the death of Jiang Xuan's father, Qin Huai sat in the office and thought about how to get rid of this man. He knew that the other party was deeply malicious towards him and his family Nan Nan, so it would be better if he didn't strike first. Being strong is not his style. If he really wants to wait for the other party to do something before he fights back, then he is so stupid. As for whether it would be too vicious to say that the other party has not done anything, and kill himself, he would rather be poisonous than take it. She and Mu Nan are safe and foolish, foolish enough to be deceived once.

But this matter is not in a hurry, Jiang Xuan doesn't have the ability to do anything for a while, so just take it slowly.

On the day Jiang Xuan came back to sell the holidays, the meat had just been counted, and their Ministry of Civil and Communications was assigned a quota of 50 catties of meat. Meat sources were too scarce, plus transportation, and the current cost of breeding, the price of meat was ridiculously high. Fifteen yuan and half a catty of meat, the price of this meat is almost catching up with the end of the world.

But what was the price before the end of the world, and what is the price now, this comparison, meat is so expensive, but it has been almost two years, how many people have not been able to eat a bite of meat, and now there is still meat for sale, with that condition , I have to be willing to grit my teeth.

Qin Huai made a small program to let everyone fill in the pre-order intention. Some people may want to buy more, and some people may not buy because they have no money. It is a waste if they do not use up the amount internally, so let people fill in the intention first. Count it.

Some people have no money in their hands, and all the money is transferred to their family members, while the rent, electricity, water, rice, flour, grain and oil of the family members are all money, and there is not much left, let alone a catty, half a catty of meat can’t be bought. rise.

Some are lonely and have a lot of money in their hands. After a little calculation, they gritted their teeth and bought a pound or two in one go. Anyway, it’s cold, and they can eat slowly without fear of spoilage.

Zhou Chuanghong asked Zhang Qi and Shu Bin in the small group: "How much do you buy?"

Zhang Qi: "I have no money. I just bought some rice at home, and I only have a few yuan left. I'm waiting for my next month's salary. Where can I buy meat? Do you buy it?"

Shu Bin: "Don't buy it." His money was also transferred back. Although he was careful and saved a few dollars every month, he didn't have any money in his hand, but he said he needed money to buy meat. At that time, the one in his family said that he had no money. After paying this fee and that fee, how much food and supplies he bought, he said that there was not a penny left, and asked him to borrow some from his colleagues, which was enough to buy a catty of meat.

Shu Bin laughed angrily. Thirty yuan a catty of meat is indeed affordable for his monthly salary, but the problem is that he may not be able to get his share when he buys this catty of meat back. What is he trying to do? Hard work , In the end, even the stuttering can't fall into my mouth, I don't buy it if I don't have money, I buy whatever I buy.

Zhou Chuanghong said: "How about we buy a catty together? Ten taels a catty, one tael for three yuan, two or three taels of meat can make a lot of wontons, how about it?"

Zhang Qi thinks it's okay. He really can't afford to buy a catty at a time, but it doesn't seem that he can't afford it if he buys it separately. Shu Bin also agrees. If he buys some and asks Zhou Chuanghong to make wontons, he won't take it home. He earns it by himself. Money, eat by yourself.

In the end, everyone's intentions were filled out. Qin Huai saw that there was still about ten catties of quota, and told everyone that there was no increase, and there was no need to buy for relatives and friends, and said: "If everyone is sure, If you have no objections, then transfer the money to me and distribute it to you when the meat arrives."

The Pang Pang, who is very capable but loves to eat, sighed regretfully while paying the money: "The money is not enough, otherwise I would have bought it all, leaving so much credit, what a waste."

Qin Huai smiled and said: "It's not wasted, I'll take care of what you don't use up."

Pangpang was about to drool with envy.

Jiang Xuan, who was sitting not far away, had a slight twitch in his heart, but before he could make any plans, someone whispered to Qin Huai: "Boss Qin, is it not too good to be found for reselling?"

The superiors said before that this is a benefit for them, and they are not allowed to buy in large quantities for reselling. Such behavior will definitely be strictly investigated. How many people are staring at Qin Huai's position now? In the complicated environment of the workplace, isn't it because you step down that others have a chance to get up? Anyway, he likes Qin Huai very much, he is capable and responsible, so he doesn't want to change the leader at all. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to get along with a special motorcycle?

Qin Huai smiled when he heard the words: "It's just a few catties of meat, what's there to resell, my younger brother loves meat, and the meat stock at home is almost bottomed out, so I'll buy him some more and save it if I can, who knows next time When will there be meat?"

Hearing what he said, Pangpang was the first to say: "Boss Qin, do you still lack a younger brother?"

Qin Huai glanced at him without emotion: "Thank you for the invitation, there is no shortage."
