Chapter 510: It's Just the Beginning of the Storm
Finish? This is just the prelude to the beginning of the storm, the real suffering is yet to come.
In her previous life, she simply thought it was coming to an end. Everyone thought it was coming to an end. Everyone believed that the darkness had taken too long to come, and that prosperity must decline. It has been declining for so long, three full years, it should be over. it's over.
Jing Shu showed an imperceptible smile, a little sarcastic. Although she didn't want to undermine the family's confidence in life, if they really thought so, then she would have to bring these lost sheep back. Regardless of whether the apocalypse is over or not, Everyone should live their own lives.
Dad Jing nodded vigorously, "I think it is. Although food is becoming more and more scarce, the documents above are encouraging us, and new instructions have been issued. We have also strengthened the raising of poultry, and also allocated a batch of In recent years, people have not had enough to eat, let alone raising poultry. It seems that the higher-ups have made a decision.”
Even Jing's mother agreed, with a face full of hope: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is difficult to grow vegetables and whole grains. Our Ministry of Agriculture is under increasing pressure, but the superiors have made a new plan, asking us to take advantage of the opportunity Plant vigorously when there is no disaster.
In the past few months, artificial sun has even been used, and the first batch of corn, potatoes, and soybeans are about to be harvested. Although food is still tight, I believe that as long as there are no more natural disasters, we can slowly recover. "
Sangu wiped her hands and sat down. She drank a few sips of milk tea and rubbed her hands before saying with a sad face:
"The food allocated to the canteen from above is getting less and less, but at least we still have insect cakes in Wucheng. Few people starve to death. The situation is miserable in other places. But after all, there has been no problem in the past few months. Everyone is holding back. I am waiting for the dawn of time again, so there are more and more rumors.”
Seeing that everyone was looking forward to the end of the world soon, and even believed in the argument that the end of the world was about to end, Master Jing couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, smoked a cigarette again, and turned to Jing Shu and Wu Youai, "What do you think? "
Wu Youai was chewing fish balls happily. After hearing this, she said with a nonchalant expression: "I find it difficult. It's better not to get too happy too soon."
Master Jing turned his attention to Jing Shu. In the last days, the quality of life of the whole family depends on Jing Shu. His granddaughter's words are quite insightful.
Jing Shu shook her head: "My cousin is right. As long as there is no sun for one day, the apocalypse will not be over. We cannot relax our vigilance but must make various preparations and plans. Our family is living a good life now because we made early preparations." Ready.
As for what is said on TV, it is true. In this current situation, we really need to boost everyone’s morale and give everyone hope of survival, but that cannot be taken seriously;
In my opinion, this situation will become more and more serious. Think about it, there are many kinds of sequelae caused by no sunshine, and there may be a snowstorm next.
So, Mom, you have to take your time during this period, and don't spread it too far, and you won't be able to hold it back if there's something behind. "
Jing's mother nodded, clasped her hands together worriedly and said, "No matter what, I wish you a good harvest this time, save some food for Wucheng, and let us all take it easy."
Jingshu can't be too "foreseeing" and can only point to this. Jing's mother can only take one step at a time.
Master Jing finally nodded happily. His granddaughter’s words spoke to his heart. He nodded and Father Jing started his daily venomous remarks:
"A person of this age cannot see things thoroughly like a child."
Then he sighed again and said: "I am holding this family meeting today to remind everyone that the new year is coming soon. Although there has been nothing bad in the past few months, Jingshu is right. According to us old farmers, Look, this is the prelude to a blizzard, and we have to prepare."
Dad Jing frowned, "Dad, after a few months of calm, we really don't want any more disasters... but did you find anything?"
Mr. Jing shook the ashes from his cigarette, pointed to the yard and said, "The yield of what we grow has decreased! Haven't you noticed that we have eaten less of the vegetables recently!"
Everyone looked at Master Jing. Nai Jing shook his head and muttered what a sin he had committed.
Jingye continued: "In the past few years, you two have been busy working. The tomatoes, tomatoes, peppers, apple trees in the yard, the cabbage and spinach on the balcony on the third floor are all managed by me and her. Don't mention it." You are very considerate. During the driest period, there was no shortage of water. During the floods the year before, we did not skip fertilizing. We turned on the lights for four hours every day. Therefore, the growth of our vegetable field is not to mention how gratifying it is, and the yield is even better.
Only recently, the production has started to decline sharply. It took me a lot of time to find out the reason. "
Jingshu rubbed her chin and thought. She served the vegetables in the yard on time. In order not to attract attention, she served very little. It would be enough to let the output reach the pre-apocalyptic level, but it should not be Production is down.
Then I saw Master Jing had already stood up and took out a pile of soil from the yard.
Jing's father scratched his head in embarrassment, "Dad, what's going on? You can tell me, the rest of us don't farm and don't understand this. Is there something wrong with the soil?"
Master Jing nodded and said seriously: "If her grandmother and I hadn't dug holes to save seeds, we wouldn't have discovered that the soil in the yard had seeped into this kind of sediment. If it were ordinary, it would have affected the harvest at most, but I don't know about this kind of sediment. What's in it is very sticky, which greatly affects the growth of crops. I went to other places again. There is no such silt in places with cement floors, but this kind of silt appears in mountains and other places. Look. It looks like ordinary land, but it’s not.”
Jing Nai cried out: "Why did our good land turn into this kind of sand? Fortunately, the soil on the balcony on the third floor did not have this kind of sand. I was wondering if it was seeping out from the ground? I don’t know if it’s available in our area or if everyone else has it. I’ve also quietly inquired about it, but firstly, there are too few people growing vegetables, and secondly, the harvest is not good due to weather and other reasons, so I don’t know. It’s not just our harvest that is affected.”
No one is growing vegetables in the ground, so naturally few people care about whether there is any problem with the soil.
Jingshu frowned. In her previous life, she was at the bottom, so she had never planted vegetables at all. She didn't care that the soil in her yard was full of sand, there was no lighting, and the temperature was so low that she couldn't grow anything, so she didn't care. Thinking about the original eruption from the ground, the sediment that may have been washed by various chemicals such as magma can still seep out of the ground and affect crops.
But she ignored it. It seems that the plan needs to be adjusted.
"This matter cannot be ignored. Our family's livelihood is here, by the way..." Master Jing asked Jing's mother: "You have a lot of things like that, have you ever found this kind of sediment?"
Jingma frowned and shook her head: "In order to maximize resources, we generally implement soilless cultivation and space-saving frame cultivation. However, we have planted some cold-resistant species around the artificial sun. It seems that we will have to check it out tomorrow. If If it really has an impact, we have to find a way early.”
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, rush out so late
