Chapter 208 Arrival
The weather in Q city in November is still sunny.
Liu Ning changed her daughter's diaper, placed her gently next to her wife, let them sleep next to each other, and then walked out the door quietly.
Last winter, the member of Ikaruga's family was pregnant, and his wife complained that she wanted to have a baby. Liu Ning was afraid that she would be stressed, so he said there was no rush, but he didn't expect that more than half a month later, his wife also found out that she was pregnant. pregnant.
Not only his family, but also many people in the base have had children since last year's cold winter. Data from the medical department shows that a total of more than 30 people are pregnant, which is something everyone should be happy about.
Ikaruga's son was born last month, and his daughter came out of her mother's belly shortly after. She is now half a month old. People in the base even joked that their Belle came after her companion. , we might as well just settle down and get married.
Ikaruga and Guan Qingqing were eager to do so, but Liu Ning couldn't bear it. His daughter was incomparably cute, so he couldn't bear to choose someone to be his child's foster husband!
Thinking of this, the smile on Liu Ning's lips grew wider. He threw the diaper in the basin and took it out of the cave to wash it at the water's edge. The people who were washing things saw him and started teasing him.
"Hey! Captain Liu! Are you washing your daughter's diapers?"
"hey-hey!"
Liu Ning rubbed the diaper vigorously with both hands and replied with a silly smile, "My daughter's skin is tender, so I have to clean it quickly and dry it by the fire, otherwise I won't have to change it and I will get urinary ulcers if I cover her."
Everyone was speechless, "You can tell me what you are saying, which kid doesn't have tender skin!?"
"that is!"
Liu Mei chuckled, "Captain Liu is just like my Jingzhe, his own child is the best in the world!"
"Jingzhe's idea is correct."
Liu Ning echoed in a serious tone, "Besides, your children are also well behaved! They know how to do things at such a young age, and even the teachers praise them when they go to school!"
"It is!"
Liu Mei nodded proudly, and then sighed, "My child was not easy to come by, so his father and I have been spoiled by him since he was a child. But this child is not troublesome at all, and he has no bad habits. Jingzhe said that our child was born A little angel."
"That kid of yours is really annoying!"
The person next to me took over and said, "Last time, when the child saw my hand was pricked, he had to pick bitter mugwort for me and rub it on my hand. I was really touched!"
Liu Mei asked with a surprised smile, "Really? I don't even know?"
"Good boy..."
"You guys wash slowly! I'm ready!"
Liu Ning said hello to everyone who was chatting enthusiastically, and left with a basin. From a distance, they could be heard praising each other's children.
He shook his head and laughed, sighing in his heart, life like this is quite good!
He put the diaper on the kang that had been repaired in the spring and baked it. He went into the house and took another look. Seeing that his wife had woken up, he quickly brought the warm chicken soup to her. After feeding her, he helped her lie down. , after cleaning up the house, he took the tools and went down the mountain to work.
The third crop of crops previously planted at the base will not be harvested for half a month, but they are still working. So far, the land around the base has been purified to more than 20000 acres.
Now standing on the mountain, looking around, except for the more than 10000 acres of crops planted by everyone, the rest are all purifying plants, and there is no end as far as the eye can see.
This is because there are so many things going on this year that we often can’t get around to doing this. Otherwise, the purified area would only be several thousand acres more.
Now the basic infrastructure of the base has been basically completed. They have built 6 more four-story buildings and 4 one-story large factories at the foot of the mountain, as well as two granaries (currently unused).
Even the carport was demolished and a stone house was rebuilt. When the snow melted, they came down the mountain and found that half of the previously built carport had collapsed. Fortunately, the car was fine.
Therefore, everyone simply demolished it and built a solid stone house. However, the door was still made of wood. After all, they did not have so many large iron doors to install.
During the busy farming season, Congcong's children found fish, shrimps and crabs in the creek. They were all greedy. Thinking of the aquatic products raised at the Qiuhan base, the children begged the adults to drive over the excavator. Not far away, I dug three ponds, and then helped build a 1.4-meter-high wall above the ground. I covered it with concrete inside and out. After it was dry, I immediately introduced water.
The children would catch fish, shrimps and crabs by themselves and raise them in it. Not to mention, this species that had been devastated by the apocalypse was still very resilient. Not only was it not dead now, it was also growing well.
Now the weather is starting to get colder. Although it is inconvenient to work, it is not insurmountable. After planting the third crop of crops, Lin Jingzhe led the team out to spread purifying plants every day. The rest of the people followed Wang Mingyang at the foot of the mountain. build house.
Although the houses at the base are more than enough to live in, who knows if a group of survivors will suddenly come one day?Besides, people in the base are now setting up more and more small families. It is really inconvenient for couples to live with the family, so it is always right to build more houses to nip problems in the bud.
Liu Ning saw it yesterday. The frames of the two houses built later have been raised. If the speed is fast, they should be capped before it snows.
Lin Jingzhe and his group drove from the base for more than 2 hours before stopping. After that, everyone started sowing seeds along the boundary line where the purification plants had been planted.
What they sow today is the last crop of this year. The weather is cold and they won't survive if they plant again. They can't waste the seeds.
While Lin Jingzhe was working, he raised his head and looked around at his companions who were walking away, and shouted, "Hurry up, finish the work as soon as possible, and return to the base as soon as possible."
"okay!"
"Don't worry! We can definitely finish work early today!"
"That is……"
rumbling————
The sound of car engines came from far and near.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they all stood up straight and stared at the direction of the sound.
In less than half a minute, a motorcade appeared in the distance, racing on the bumpy road. The rumbling sound seemed to shake everyone's hearts.
As the motorcade approached, everyone had smiles on their faces and shouted loudly in unison, "Hey - are you a brother from Qiu Han's base?"
As soon as he finished speaking, car horns rang out over the wilderness, and everyone cheered. A few minutes later, the vehicles stopped in front of them one by one.
Qiu Qiu and others opened the car windows, smiled and waved to everyone, "Brothers, are everything okay?!"
"Okay! That's great!"
"Captain Qiu! Captain Xiao! Brothers, long time no see!"
Lin Jingzhe and his group smiled and replied, then gave up their seats. When Qiu Qiu and others got off the bus, they enthusiastically came forward, hugged each other with old friends whom they had not seen for a long time, and exchanged greetings with smiles.
After a while, they noticed a few strangers standing nearby. They all said hello quickly. Qiu Qiu introduced Lin Jingzhe and others with a smile, "This is a new brother who joined the base. He used to live in a village on the mountain. I came here this time to ask them to teach you..."
Qiu Qiu Balabala repeated what he had said to Leng Tian before, shocking everyone to the point of dumbfounding.
"So? In the future, we will be able to develop our own textile, construction and salt production industries?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Han smiled and raised his eyebrows, "How is it? Are you happy?"
"Hehe! Happy!" Everyone grinned. Lin Jingzhe looked at the two of them, and then asked after thinking about it, "Did the two captains look for a lot of places when they traveled so far to deliver things to us?"
"What else are you talking about?"
Chen Gang frowned and continued, "When we arrived at City Q, we saw that everything there had collapsed.
Such a big pit is at least dozens of meters deep!I'm scared to death, everyone is really afraid that something will happen to you! "
“The entire army was indeed almost wiped out!”
Lin Jingzhe recalled what happened when she arrived in Q City, with a look of fear on her face.
He looked at everyone, his voice slowly filled with fear, "When we arrived, we were preparing to drive through the ruins. When the captain saw that there were too many cracks in the ground, he asked us to wait and got out of the car to check the road conditions.
Unexpectedly, he just threw a stone and the ground collapsed. It was because no one followed him and he ran fast, otherwise..."
Lin Jingzhe shivered uncontrollably. Seeing each other like this, Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han could both imagine how dangerous and terrifying the situation was at that time. Qiu Qiu immediately spoke to comfort him.
"No matter what, you survived the catastrophe, and you will be lucky in the future, and things will get smoother and smoother in the future!"
Everyone liked what he said, and they all laughed, "That's for sure!"
"It's been getting better and better since we left there!"
"Yes! I also found a good place..."
Everyone talked about what happened over the past year. After hearing this, Qiu Qiu and the others sighed that the team led by Liu Ning had such legendary experiences that they could write a book and make a 40-episode TV series.
But no matter what, now that the base is built and everyone's life is getting better and better, they can finally feel relieved.
Qiu Qiu glanced at the bags everyone put beside him and asked with a smile, "Are you spreading seeds? Let's help do it together! Finish the work early and return to the base early!"
"Okay! Thank you to the two captains and brothers!"
Lin Jingzhe smiled and waved, "Quick, help brothers get the seeds!"
"okay!"
"right away!"
Chen Gang and others looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly walked over to help get the seeds. Everyone rushed to work in an instant. With the help of Qiu Qiu and other team members, the progress was accelerated a lot, and it didn't take long for everyone to call it a day.
Lin Jingzhe and others led the way, followed closely by Qiu Qiu's team. Two hours later, everyone arrived at the base smoothly.
Liu Ning and others heard the noise and wondered why the brothers came back so early today. They walked out of the construction site to watch, and then they discovered the convoy following behind.
One can imagine how pleasantly surprised they were. The arrival of Qiu Qiu and his brothers caused a sensation in the base. In addition to those who were in confinement, taking care of children, and those who were cooking, all the other members ran down the mountain and gathered around Qiu Qiu and his entourage excitedly expressed their feelings of missing him.
Until the cook on the mountain shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's time to eat——"
Everyone returned to the mountain happily. Qiu Qiu and the others looked at the infrastructure of the camp on the mountain and sighed that Liu Ning was so smart that he could come up with such a method.
Liu Ning was a little embarrassed by the praise, so she couldn't help but reach out and rub the back of her neck, lowered her head and smiled, "It doesn't work well, it's just not enough time, and the hole I found before looked good, so I did it. "
Chen Gang laughed and teased, "Hey! Are you still being modest? This was not the case when you praised your daughter just now!?"
"Can that be the same?"
Liu Ning raised her chin proudly and said, "My daughter is the most adorable in the world, and she will be smarter than her mother and I in the future."
Seeing his mean look, Chen Gang couldn't help but raise his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay! Your daughter is a princess, a queen! Okay!?"
"It's almost there!"
Liu Ning rolled her eyes at the other party, and then looked at Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han who were also laughing, "Captain! Since you are here, stay a few more days! Otherwise, you don't know when we can see you next time?"
Wang Mingyang and Lin Jingzhe also nodded in agreement, "Yes! Stay a few more days! The children were still talking about you a while ago!"
Qiu Qiu, Xiao Han, and Chen Gang looked at each other and smiled, and then said, "You don't need to stay, we have to stay for a while!"
He told everyone that this time he was not only here to deliver supplies and understand everyone's situation, but also to teach them how to build brick kilns, bake bricks, weave cloth, dye cloth, raise silkworms, plant mulberry trees, flax, etc.
It is very likely that they will stay until the new year, and when the people in Guangming Base have completely mastered these technologies, they will bring back the villagers here and Lengtian. After all, their families are still there.
Everyone was very happy when they heard what Qiu Qiu said. They even offered to let them live in the mountain camp, but Qiu Qiu refused.
Although he is the top leader of these people, this base was built with hard work by Liu Ning and everyone. The cave was originally a good place for people to live. As soon as he and his brothers came, they did what they did to occupy the magpie's nest and dominate the guests. , there is something wrong.
In fact, Liu Ning and the members of the base never thought about this. They simply felt that they wanted to leave the best things to each other.
Unfortunately, Qiu Qiu failed to agree after persuading him for a long time. Everyone had no choice but to agree to his request. After dinner, they were arranged in a house at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone rested for one night and got up early the next day. They drove around in the wilderness at the foot of the camp. Finally, they stopped at the foot of a mountain more than 10 kilometers away from the camp and chose the location of the brick kiln here. .
Firstly, this place is spacious and flat, far away from the camp, and the smoke from the brick-burning fireworks is not easy to reach people. Secondly, they happened to find that there is also a spring here. If they pull mud bricks here to make bricks in the future, there will be no shortage of them. Water is simply not too convenient.
After the location was decided, everyone immediately took the tools and cleaned up the surroundings. Then they were divided into three groups. One group followed Qiu Qiu to build the brick kiln, the other group followed Xiao Han to dig a hole to use as a place for stepping on the mud in the future, and the other group was... Follow Chen Gang to build a shed and make brick molds and operating tables.
Everyone was very motivated, and it took less than three days to complete all the facilities of the brick kiln. Qiu Qiu immediately led most of the people at Guangming Base to participate in every step of the brick making process.
Xiao Han and Chen Gang, with a small number of people, helped several villagers in Dongxi Village to set up factories for weaving, dyeing, and raising silkworms.
At the same time, they planted the mulberry trees they brought and planted flax in the greenhouse at the base. Now that the weather is getting colder, they cannot wait until next year to sow the seeds. Everyone must plant these within two or three months. Technical mastery.
Therefore, flax can only be planted in greenhouses. After that, they will use some spiritual spring water to irrigate, and they can harvest it in two months. They can also mutate the seeds. When people like Liu Ning plant it next year, the yield will increase. It will be greatly increased, just like all the crops produced in the base.
As for mulberry silkworms, the environmental requirements are relatively high. However, there is no way now, but everyone only used a small part to try.
The mulberry trees brought from the base were dug up and brought here. They have been maintained in the warm water of the spiritual spring, and the leaves have not turned yellow. So we found a room and raised a small number of silkworms.
Not to mention, with the blessing of spiritual spring water, these little things are growing quite well. For this reason, the villagers of Dongxi Village are still sighing with emotion, saying that they have never seen such impressive silkworm babies in all their years of life.
Liu Ning, who knew something about the internal reasons, explained that they were all mutated, so they had strong vitality. This statement was unanimously recognized by everyone in the base.
