This night because of the news, Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo heart is very worried, even the usual after dinner four people in the downstairs cool chat has been canceled, a few people are full of heartache early back to the room.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Yan came out of the house and heard the sound of turning over and sighing in the next room, and began to reflect on whether he was right or wrong.
Usually at this time Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo had already fallen asleep, and now that they hadn't gone out, the two old men were already tossing and turning for them and couldn't sleep, and when they did leave, there was no telling how worried they would become.
But the problem didn't dwell on him for too long.
When he woke up the next morning, Lu Jianguo said that he would go out with them, and that he would be able to wait for them down there, even if he didn't go ashore.
With those movements he heard last night, Zhou Yan couldn't refuse.
Just like that, they would have to leave the same day and return the same day, and no one could be left unguarded at home at night.
So after some deliberation, they decided to borrow the boat in the morning, and clean up the house in the afternoon, with everything that should be picked up included in Zhou Yan's space, so that no unsavory people would come in and see things they shouldn't while they were away.
Now that the decision has been made, the family of four headed to the village chief's house together after breakfast.
When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Lu Bachuan thought about asking Zhou Yan to take the radio out and carry it to the village chief's house.
A few people saw that he was going to take this opportunity to use the radio for the village together.
The first time they came back with the radio, they didn't intend to hide it, but at first everyone was busy, they themselves were too late to listen, but the back didn't find the opportunity, since it happened to be available, they naturally didn't object.
When you get to Lu Jianye's house, Lu Jianye has just finished his breakfast, his daughter-in-law is cleaning up the dishes, and Lu Jianye is drinking tea at the table.
Their home had been childless, so it was clean and somewhat deserted.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public, including a wide range of products and services, and a wide range of products and services.
Pointing at the radio, he said, "This is a radio?"
Although his words were a question, the tone he used was that of a statement, this kind of thing used to be in everyone's home, but then with the popularity of TVs and computers, it was quickly eliminated, and only some old people and collectors would keep them.
Seeing them nodding in the affirmative, Lu Jianye was not surprised, but asked in an excited tone, "This thing works now?"
Lu Bachuan nodded, "I tried it before and could receive the radio, so I brought it over."
Lu Jianye wanted to go hold the radio in Zhou Yan's hand at the news, but was afraid that they would accidentally drop it when they took over, so he finally just rubbed his hands and waited for Zhou Yan to put the radio away.
Only when Zhou Yan put the radio steady on the table did Lu Jianye eagerly pressed the on key, but looked cautious as if he was afraid of pushing too hard and accidentally breaking it.
The channel was tuned before and hadn't been moved, so Lu Jianye only heard the radio sound when he switched it on.
Compared to the first time they heard it, Lu Baichuan and the others, Lu Jianye would only be very excited.
To know that they were still just when the zombies had just broken out, but now it was over a month without any news from the outside world, anyone would be excited.
It's just that Lu Jianye's character has always been not the kind of obvious show, is not obvious on the surface, just eyes are shining.
By the time the round of broadcast was finished, no one in the house made any sound, and it could be said that even if a pin landed on the ground, the sound could be heard at this point.
When the broadcast went into the next round of replays, Lu Jianye picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a big sip before asking, "Can we still get another channel?"
Lu Baichuan shook his head and said, "This is the only one we received for now."
Lu Jianye nodded to turn the radio off and asked, "What are you guys planning?"
Zhou Yan mistakenly thought that Lu Jianye was asking if they were planning to stay or if they wanted to go to the survivor base, so he rightfully said, "Of course they're staying here!"
Lu Jianye puffed out a laugh, they were all born and raised here, how could they possibly think that Lu Jianguo would have any intention of wanting to leave, so he said, "I asked about the radio, do you want to keep it for yourselves or give it to everyone in the village to use together."
Lu Bachuan smiled and said, "Since we brought it over, together of course."
Lu Jianye nodded his head and said, "Okay, in that case, there can't be no rules and regulations, the radio is still put in your house, the people in the village will gather every three days to listen to it, and put it in your yard or grain drying field, let's start tonight, if it's okay then later I'll let Lu Baiming go and inform everyone."
Lu Bacchuan said, "Put it in the drying grain field, the rest is fine."
Lu Jianye said that it was fine, although Lu Baichuan and his family's yard was not small, but it was still barely enough to really stand the whole village.
The matter was then finalized.
Just as Lu Jianye asked his daughter-in-law to call Lu Baiming over, Lu Jianguo said, "Actually, there's something else I came to see you about today?"
Lu Jianye only took it as a sign that his family was running out of food and wanted to find him to bear witness to which family to borrow some grain from, and these days there were many villagers who had come back from the city to find him for this, so he didn't take it seriously at all and said, "What is it?"
Lu Jianye said, "The crops in the ground have no fertilizer, and the growth is not ideal, and the two of them saw it and wanted to go to town to find some fertilizer, I sought to drive over there too dangerous, so I wanted to come and ask you if I could borrow your boat for a run, not for free of course, and when we come back, we'll give you 10% of what we get."
Lu Jianye didn't think they were talking about this, and was a little shocked, advising, "The crops are growing almost as good as they can be, so why go out and take that risk."
Lu Bachuan said, "Uncle Jianye, we'll just go over there and take a look, and if we really can't, we'll come back, we won't take any risks with ourselves."
Lu Jianye saw that they should have already made up their minds, and it wasn't easy to persuade them more, saying, "Since you guys have thought about it, I don't need your 10%, but if you can, bring back as much as you can, and when the time comes, evenly give it to the people in the village, so that they can exchange things with you."
Zhou Yan hurriedly said, "Then, thank you, Uncle Jianye."
A few people, however, were searching in their hearts, although he said he didn't want it, but they couldn't not give it to him, and when they came back, they still had to prepare something for him.
Lu Jianye smiled and said, "The boat is put there as well as put there, you guys can take it since you want to use it, but do you still have enough diesel? If it's not enough I still have a little at home."
Lu Bachuan said, "It should be enough for one round trip, let's see if we can get some when we get to town."
Lu Jianguo said, "It's good to have, but if you've been away from the village for so long, do you still know what's for sale somewhere in town?"
This sentence but to the point, Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan would not need to say, even Lu Jianye, also because of the long absence of living at home, the town where there is a shop that sells anything, also only know a general idea, not to mention that the town has changed very much over the years, long ago is not the original appearance, how to find something so easy.
When Lu Jianye looked at the expressions on their faces, he knew that none of them were clear.
Not being able to help but sigh, he found paper and pens from the drawer beside him and started to draw a simple map for them.
Several people looked at it with bright eyes, with this I don't know how much trouble can be saved.
The town was built on both sides of the river, connected by two bridges, so many shops and supermarkets were near the river or the bridge.
Lu Jianye's experience, the map is simple and easy to understand, and the shops marked out are some selling essential goods.
For example, the large supermarket at the bridge, a street of agricultural and sideline products near the river, where fertilizers, pesticides, diesel these can be found, the opposite side of the street to sell rice, oil and grain shops, most of them are near the river, they can see on the boat.
A few people were naturally grateful, and put the paper away as if they were treasured.
At the same time, Lu Baiming was also called over by his aunt, who heard that Zhou Yan and the others were going to go to the town, and was incredulous, although he didn't say it, but his eyes were saying you are not all crazy.
Zhou Yan and the others laughed and didn't explain further.
Lu Baiming wanted to say something more, but was urged by Lu Jianye to go and inform the people in the village that they should go to the grain drying field in the evening to listen to the radio.
Zhou Yan and the others also got up to take their leave, and on their way out Lu Bachuan said, "Uncle Jianye, let's put the radio with you for now."
Lu Jianye, however, was anxious: "Take it back, and keep your own things for yourself."
Lu Baichuan guessed that he was thinking out of turn, smiled and said, "We still have things to do this afternoon, we may not have time to go over to the grain drying field, and the radio when you have it here, you and Lu Baiming can also tune in at night if you are okay to see if you can receive other channels."
He said this half-truth, explaining both that they had gone to town just to look around and would definitely come back safely so that Lu Jianye didn't have to worry, but also hiding the reality that they had been using the radio for some time.
Only then did Lu Jianye nodded his head to show that he knew, although he learned from Lu Beming that Lu Bachuan and Zhou Yan were very good, he still did not feel comfortable advising, "That's good, remember not to take any risks, if you encounter any danger, just come straight back, even without chemical fertilizer, more compost, fertility is not as good as chemical fertilizer, but the growth of the banker is also enough to eat, no one will die of hunger. "
Several people nodded their heads in agreement, and only then did Lu Jianye give them the keys to the boat engine.
In the evening Zhou Yan and Lu Bacchuan still went to the grain drying field, when they arrived, the grain drying field was already full of people, Lu Bacchuan made the rounds and found that almost everyone from the village was here.
Everyone sat quietly waiting for Lu Baiming to turn on the radio, everyone was more serious than ever, and it wasn't until the radio had been playing for a while that anyone started talking.
As soon as someone took the lead, it was like a drop of water dripping into an oil pan, and it instantly exploded.
People started chattering and discussing. Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan listened carefully for a while, all talking about the need for more food and securing the fence, and not a single voice even brought up the idea of going to the survivor base, but that was expected.
The two of them asked Lu Baiming for a favor before going back, asking him to keep an eye on their own family's movements tomorrow when there was nothing else to do, in this kind of world, one can't be too careful, just in case there's someone who doesn't have eyes to steal something.
