I am planting a field in the last days

Chapter 66 Food is starting to get tight
"I just arrived a few days ago. I heard that I have been on the road for more than a month and pounded several trains to arrive. It is your father's cousin. You should call my uncle, why have I never heard of you? Do you still have such a relative at home?" Dad Jing hesitated, then continued:
"I was supposed to live at your eldest brother's house, but I don't know why I went to Su Meimei's house. It seems that this time I came to Su Meimei."

As soon as Su Meimei was mentioned, the atmosphere in the whole living room became a little cold. Grandpa and grandma's family had already returned to their house, and only Dad Jing who was still pounding garlic seedlings, Mama Jing who was playing with mushroom bags, and making frog ropes were left. The Jingshu is gone.

Jing Shu raised her head and squinted her eyes unconsciously. She remembered very clearly that in the past life, there was absolutely no relatives who came all the way, and there was no matter that her grandfather's cousin came to find Su Meimei. Where is the middle? The butterfly effect fan out?
Jing's mother snorted, "In the early years, my father and cousin came here to go to the countryside for educated youth. After staying for a few years, his family was involved and he was recalled. My father didn't have such a good life and stayed. When I was only a few years old, I didn't remember things, and I heard these things from my mother later, and after my parents passed away, I completely cut off contact with my hometown."

Jing Shu frowned and pondered, "It's been years since my grandfather passed away. After so many years of no contact, he suddenly came here from a distance. What's the reason? What's the secret?"

Dad Jing nodded, "Looking at your eldest brother's face is not good, there may be other things here, since it has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it."

"The old man has come so far, so he still wants to see it. Besides, my parents' generation is basically gone. Hey." Jing Ma sighed.

In the end, the whole family decided to wait for the old man to leave, 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's mother, will never be so sad. The problem is that she grew up together, and she gives Su Meimei anything good, and Jing's mother treats Su Mei with all her heart and soul, and the result?

Su Meimei not only didn't help when Jing's mother was in difficulty, but also calculated how to take advantage of Jing's mother, which completely broke Jing's heart.

"Alright, it's time to go and have a look." Jing Shu thought, she must find out what the butterfly effect was that caused something that didn't happen in her previous life, and she wouldn't take Su Meimei lightly.

The work of her subordinates has also accelerated. Jing Shu hastily made hundreds of frog ropes. This is a technique that she learned from the frogmen in her previous life. The rope is actually a slipknot, which is similar to the dog rope. By adjusting it, it can act on the neck and limbs of the small frog to the big frog, preventing the frog from jumping and finding it.

After all, in the apocalypse where insects are rampant and frogs are almost dead due to high temperature, raising a frog is very precious, and not everyone can afford it. The biggest function of raising frogs is to eat insects, but the premise is that the owner provides water. and adapted temperature.

To this end, Jing Shu also went to the glass factory to steal a lot of containers for frogs. Usually the frogs stay in the containers. Every few hours, they can lead the rope to eat the inexplicable bugs in the house. The bell-horned frog has been raised. It can live for more than ten years, and can eat all the bugs around it. It is much more useful than the discontinued toilet water. Unfortunately, under the difficult and dangerous living conditions of the last days, few people can do it.

In just a few days, the bell-horned frog in Jingshu's Rubik's Cube has already laid down a lot of tadpoles, while the three outside the villa have not responded at all. Jingshu knows that frogs are difficult to reproduce every year, so they created it. Frogmen in the last days have also become rare.

"Take your baby frog to the unit tomorrow to eat insects. I've been too nervous about insecticides recently," said Ma Jing.

Jing Shu agreed while watching the episode in the group.

Wang Qiqi No. 13: "Now @Luxury Car Monopoly No. 5, @feng No. 3, @王大志# 1, @zhufan No. 7 all the food in the family of four has been eaten by carrion worms, who still eats it? Are they willing to barter with them, or sell them some? They have already lined up at the entrance of the supermarket, but it is estimated that it will take two days to line up to buy something.”

Then the group talked a lot about their own waste, and now they don't even have instant noodles to eat, only cornmeal and rice are left, and it's not enough to eat.

Little milk, I have baby number 13: "I can exchange 5 catties of dried sweet potatoes and @王大赵 for all the baby products he prepared." Almost everyone knows that Wang Dazhao's pregnant daughter-in-law died from eating vegetables sold by scalpers, and the body was found on the same day. was forcibly burned.

Wang Dazhao No. 1: "Okay. All ten cans of uncontaminated milk powder are for your family to drink."

I have a baby number 13 with less milk: "Thank you so much, then I'll give you another ten kilograms of rice! Now the milk powder is out of stock, and I can't even buy it."

Wang Dazhao No. 1: "Thank you."

As soon as they saw that someone had a snack like dried sweet potatoes at home, many people were excited and exchanged half a catty of rice for some dried sweet potatoes. As for the other three, there was nothing worth changing in their homes, even if they had Wang Qiqi’s help. success.

In the end, Wang Xuemei agreed to give each of them 300 yuan to send them a bowl of rice to the supermarket tomorrow, which was still for Wang Qiqi's face.

Some time ago, there were scalpers selling vegetables, but this time they all disappeared. Cabbage can’t be bought for 1000 yuan, and the leader’s special dishes are much less, let alone selling grain at high prices.

All the food factories have stopped production, the supermarkets have cut off all other goods, only rice, and noodles are sold in limited quantities and for a limited time every day, and everyone wants to store some more food.

The sun has disappeared for half a year, and the temperature is high and water is scarce. Even the country has to implement artificial sun, which means that there is no large-scale cultivation of food. Everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem. Although there is still food, there is not much left. I want to stock up on more food.

Many people feel that those who hoarded too much grain six months ago regretted hoarding less today. Under such circumstances, no one is willing to sell grain.

The next day, Jing Shu took five frogs tied with ropes to Jing Ma's unit, and only then did she understand that Yu Caini had used pesticides to kill insects, and there was no shortage of anything, only Jing Ma was pitiful. of nothing.

But fortunately, the garlic sprouts, spinach, and oyster mushrooms on Jing Ma's side are all lush and lush, and each is extremely gratifying.

Jingshu pulled the rope and released the bell-horned frog. The frogs in the space were obviously active, and they went looking for insects when they jumped. The other three frogs were much more rigid.

"Mom, why are there so many carrion worms here?" Jing Shu asked, looking at the piles of carrion worms that were about to take shape in the corner, and these will definitely be tens of thousands of carrion larvae in two days.

"Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, I don't dare to go where there are pesticides." Jing Ma said.

Just as the girls were chatting, footsteps rang out, "Director, the vegetables over there are probably eaten up by insects, look at how good the vegetables are on our side, we have tested them according to different medicines. There are several options."
