Plane Supermarket
Chapter 205
The mighty moving journey has begun.
Many employees in the supermarket had never lived in the base. After learning that Ye Zhou was going to stay here for a month, they all moved into Base 276 with their luggage in high spirits.
"It's really hot here!" Aunt Li wiped the sweat off her face and looked up at the sun, "How do people live here?"
Cao'er hugged the quilt, wrinkled her nose and said, "Mother, you don't know, the sun is poisonous, after a whole afternoon, people are all dark."
Aunt Li glanced at the residents who were "surrounding" them not far away, and found that one was indeed blacker than the other, and many of them were blackened into carbon. She looked at the grass and made sure that the grass had not turned black into carbon before it loosened up. Tone: "You have to put on sunscreen, we have a lot of salary, this can't be saved."
"Mother still expects you to find a man!" Li Gu pulled Cao'er aside, "If you meet someone you like, don't be shy, it's okay to ask."
Cao'er didn't blush, she responded with "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" a few times.
Li Gu saw that her daughter was perfunctory her, but she was not angry, and she didn't rush, after all, their appearance and body hadn't changed all these years, and Cao'er still looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Just firmer.
"You still have to pay attention!" Aunt Li said in a low voice, "Even if you don't get married, you still have to have a child."
Cao'er glanced at her own mother, she looked at her mother's face in shock, looking sideways and vertically, Cao'er finally confirmed that this was indeed her mother.
Li Gu proudly said: "Don't underestimate your mother."
However, Cao'er is still not very interested in this proposal. She is interested in everything now, but not in starting a family.
"Let's talk about it later." Cao'er immediately shifted Aunt Li's attention, "I think the Immortal will return to Daliang Dynasty after this time!"
Aunt Li was taken aback, her expression was a little complicated, but she knew that Cao'er said this must be because Cao'er wanted to go back.
"What are we going to do when we go back?" Li Gu advised, "Following the immortal now, this is a good thing that many people can't even ask for after worshiping the Buddha for eight lifetimes. Following the immortal, we are all useful people. What is it when we go back?"
"I'm still a peasant woman when I go back." Aunt Li, "You say you won't get married or have children. If you go back, can you choose?"
"You didn't see much before. I don't know. Those orphans and widows, everyone can spit on them. When you fetch water, you have to be the last in line. When there is a drought, you can't grab water. Men break into your house. There is no one in the village. People will take care of you."
"If you don't have a man, you're not human!" Li Gu said urgently, "You can't think of going back, Wu Yan and the others have a child, so they have to go back, and you don't have a child, what are you going back for?!"
"Why is there no child!" Cao'er suddenly shouted.
But her voice quickly became smaller again, and her lips trembled: "There is still a younger sister."
As soon as the word "sister" came out, Aunt Li was stunned. She hadn't thought of her little daughter for a long, long time.
She can't think about it, as long as she thinks about it, she can't breathe, and she can hear her little daughter calling her mother when she sleeps at night.
Her little daughter, that is also her jewel-like child, has been obedient since she was a child, and she doesn't like to cry when she can be called mother. Even if she wants to throw her away, she will sit in the haystack obediently and say : "Xiao Ni knows, Xiao Ni doesn't move, Xiao Ni is waiting for mother here."
"You blame me, don't you?" Li Gu looked at Cao'er, her voice was a little shrill, "You blame me for throwing her away, don't you?!"
Cao'er didn't speak, she lowered her head and said after a while, "Mother, I don't blame you."
"Raising a younger sister costs food, and the younger sister can't run fast, so we don't have the energy to carry her on our backs anymore." Cao'er was trembling all over, "I can't blame you, if I took my younger sister, our family would have died long ago."
"But mother..." Cao'er said, "but that's my younger sister..."
Cao'er finally couldn't hold back the tears: "That's my sister..."
Aunt Li didn't shed tears, she had shed tears all her life as early as the beginning of fleeing famine, she didn't dare to cry when her husband died, she was the backbone of the family at that time, anyone could fall down, she couldn't.
She cried when her son died, but she didn't cry for too long. After her son died, she still had a few daughters to support her.
She didn't cry when she sold her second daughter, because she knew that her second daughter was able to survive. Compared with the pain, she only felt lucky.
At that time, her only pain was that Cao'er didn't want to follow Ren Yazi, Cao'er hid, and she didn't come out until Ren Yazi left.
Only the youngest daughter, she almost cried and went blind after throwing away the youngest daughter.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, she can't stop the death of her husband and son, only the youngest daughter is her fault.
Aunt Li was in a daze, and she would think of how she used her last strength to hold her little daughter and walk away, and how she coaxed her to wait in place. She thought she had forgotten, but in fact it was as clear as yesterday.
"Mother, let me go back." Cao'er said, "I'll look for my younger sister, I'll look for both the older sister and the younger sister."
Li Gu still shook her head, her old face was full of sadness and determination: "I'll go back, you follow the immortal."
"I can still walk." Li Gu looked at Cao'er.
This daughter who grew up beside her and has never been separated from her.
She was already much better than Gu Li had imagined.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "They are my daughters, the meat that fell out of my stomach, where can you find them?"
"You are the big sister." Li Gu's eyes softened, "I am their mother."
Aunt Li: "Mother will go find them, and Mother will find them out."
"It's my mother's fault."
Cao'er was about to stop her, but Li Gu had already stepped forward.
Cao'er stood where she was, a little confused, feeling that she had done something wrong.
If she didn't tell her mother and went quietly with Wu Yan and the others, mother would not know anything and could still stay by the immortal's side.
But she said, mother must go.
Mother may die there.
Cao'er's whole body began to tremble, she did something wrong!
She is going to ask the fairy!Can't let her mother go!
However, Ye Zhou was already in the house. He was walking around the base with Zou Ming. There were not many people on the streets during the day. After all, the glass cover to adjust the sunlight was not enough for planting, so how could it cover the entire base.
And Ye Zhou also knows that people must be able to survive in such sunlight, otherwise the entire base will be covered with a glass cover. Once lost, the people in this base will not be able to survive.
The employees he brought himself had to be covered with sunscreen and wear adjustment clothing to move around in such an environment.
"Is there enough water?" Ye Zhou asked.
Zou Ming held Ye Zhou's hand, he seemed to be stuck in another world, until Ye Zhou asked, Zou Ming came back to his senses and said: "Enough, now this area is only our base that produces the most grain, enough for replacement. "
In fact, Base 276 is now the wealthiest known base.
Ye Zhou: "That's good."
"How many people are there in the base now?"
Ye Zhou felt incredible that there was still water here. After all, according to what Zou Ming said, there was not a drop of rain here before he came and after he left. If there is no rain, where does the groundwater come from?The rivers on the surface have dried up.
Zou Ming: "I heard that it will rain in some places, but no one knows where it is, so it's not easy to move there even if you know."
"There's not that much transportation."
In such an environment, large-scale migration is more difficult than fleeing famine. Even if preparations are made in advance, the risk is still unaffordable for most people.
And Zou Ming is now the ruler of the base, he can't do whatever he wants.
Responsibility has long been on his shoulders.
Ye Zhou sighed: "Maybe it will rain here one day."
I can only think so.
"I want to buy some saplings that can grow in this environment." Zou Ming said.
Ye Zhou nodded: "I'll go back and look for it. By the way, I've looked for the high-yield crops you mentioned before. One of them is probably more suitable. It doesn't need to save seeds, and it can grow in any environment."
This kind of crop, Ye Zhou, was seen in a commodity for sale on a plane called Kolia, and its name was Katuo.
There is no need to save seeds, as long as it is planted once, it will always grow on that land. It looks a bit like a sweet potato, but it is bigger than a sweet potato. The leaves are a bit like potatoes, but they are purple.
The detailed introduction also said that this crop has a very high flour yield, and there are many ways to eat it. The leaves can also be eaten, which means that you can harvest several vegetables after planting it, and it has been improved. The leaves are used to feed livestock, and the livestock grow. The meat is also fast.
After talking carefully with Zou Ming, Ye Zhou smiled and said, "That plane called Kolia must be very rich."
With this kind of crops, as long as the ruler is not a fool, the common people will not be poor enough to fill their stomachs. Whether it is education or other things, they will have the soil for construction.
Zou Ming: "Korya? I have been there."
Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming: "Is it rich?"
Zou Ming thought for a while: "Rich, but it's a bit strange. When I used to be ruled by Emperor Chi Yan, it was a plane with a western background. His name is too Chinese, and his development speed is too fast. I'll go to The track was laid in the first year, and the wind turbines were built in the second year. According to the local aboriginals, several countries on the same continent were just unified and slavery was abolished ten years ago."
Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Maybe it's a time traveler? Or a supermarket owner like me? But he chose another track? If he's really aboriginal, he's a genius, a man born from heaven."
Zou Ming said with a complicated expression: "His queen is a man."
Ye Zhou: "...It can be regarded as adding luster to us."
Ye Zhou said with a smile: "It sounds interesting, maybe we will have a chance to go there again in the future."
Zou Ming also said: "It's very open there, same-sex people can get married."
Ye Zhou understood Zou Ming's hint. They had just established a relationship, and Zou Ming was already asking for an "identity".
But Ye Zhou didn't try to be perfunctory, but said seriously: "Let's talk about it after I go back and meet my parents."
As for the wedding with Zou Ming in his original plane, let's wait until that time to give Zou Ming a surprise.
If you say it early, there will be no surprises.
·
The slums at the base have been banned by the plantation. People who used to live in the slums have moved to the second circle. Now there are three circles in the base. The people who live in the center are basically administrators and those who once stood beside Zou Ming. Those who have made great contributions, and then the second circle, live in ordinary civilians.
Although the seats are different, there is not much difference in treatment. Because resources are limited, in order for everyone to survive, the current resources are almost evenly distributed. Although it is not a big pot of rice, it is similar to a big pot of rice.
Everyone's work is assigned, and the most numerous is planting, followed by food processing.
To prevent spoilage, crops are dehydrated immediately after harvest.
The meat is made into bacon. Although this method will reduce the weight and consume firewood, it is torture for the staff, but for the people, it is better to suffer than not to eat.
Water plants also need employees, and ordinary water needs to be filtered before it can be used as drinking water.
In order to save firewood, and the water will not cool down after boiling, Zou Ming spent a lot of potatoes before and replaced it with several sets of filtration systems from other bases to produce direct drinking water for the base.
After all, people have lived to the present, and bacteria and microorganisms must still exist.
The rest is to maintain law and order and the plot of the street. Carpentry is not available. People can only build tools and furniture by themselves, or find someone who can do this line of work to help them sit after get off work. .
Although the life is still very hard, the spiritual world is still poor, but there are jobs, food and water, and compared with the previous life, people are also very stable.
"Some people have already started having children." Zou Ming was a little proud when he mentioned this.
It's not that there was no life before, but it was all forced. After being pregnant, I dare not fight. After all, there is no medical treatment. If something goes wrong, even I will die, so I can only give birth.
And more, with a little condition, will find ways to prevent pregnancy.
Most of those who have no condition for contraception are actually unable to conceive, because their health is too poor.
Now that people are healthier and their lives are more stable, some people even start families and are willing to have children.
"This is the best." Ye Zhou also brought a smile on his face, "This way the base can continue to develop."
Without newborns, what will happen to the population of the base in the future?Grab from another base?Kill other people's relatives and friends, and let people come over and make this place their home?That's not realistic.
They quickly came to a small building, Zou Ming: "The people living here are old people who are no longer able to work, and there are also some children without parents."
This small building is very old, and the windows have been repaired, but they are all wooden windows, and it is not a good wood. Some of them can be foamed if you scratch it with your hands, but it is a place where people can live.
Zou Ming: "Each person can get two potatoes and half a glass of water every day."
It's just not enough to starve to death.
But Ye Zhou just sighed and didn't say anything.
It is not easy for the base to support these people who have lost their labor force.
"Yang Yue is in charge here now." Zou Ming led Ye Zhou in, "I want to find some work for them that they can do, but I just can't think of it."
Now most of the work at the base is manual labor, and it is difficult for adults to do it, let alone the elderly.
Especially the elderly here have difficulty even walking.
Being able to live until now is more because of their good luck.
And more people who lost their labor force, no matter how big or small, died before Zou Ming seized power.
Ye Zhou also felt that it was really hard to figure out how to make the people here work well. After all, there is no shortage of simple handicrafts here. After all, every household is still in a state of self-sufficiency. Apart from working to earn money, the rest of the things are It is obviously unrealistic to ask them to pay for it if they learn to do it by themselves.
And the difficult things that people have to spend money to buy, the old people can't do.
But Ye Zhou still comforted him: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way later."
Zou Ming just smiled.
When they walked into the small building, the decoration inside was very simple, and it could even be said that there was no decoration. The first thing they saw was the lobby. The load-bearing walls could not be removed, so the lobby seemed cramped, with only a few tables and chairs.
There were a few old people sitting on the chairs. They occasionally said a few words, but most of the time they closed their eyes and meditated, or fell asleep directly.
Someone saw Zou Ming, and squinted his eyes for a long time. It was determined that Zou Ming was holding on to the handrail with both hands in the future, and was about to stand up to say hello to Zou Ming.
The life here is indeed not good, but fortunately, the cleaning is fairly clean, and there is not much dust and sand.
There is no power supply at the base during the day, and electric lights are available at night, so the door must be opened to let sunlight in.
The windows cannot be opened, otherwise the room will be full of yellow sand.
The wind at night may still be a bit cool, but the hot wind engulfing the yellow sand during the day is definitely torture.
When Yang Yue came down, Ye Zhou was observing the interior of this small building accompanied by Zou Ming.
In fact, there is everything in the small building. It was originally used to house Zhao Qing's confidantes, so it has everything that should be there.
Later, it was distributed to the elderly because other people prefer to have a single-family house. In the past, they didn’t have the choice. After they had the choice, people still prefer to have an independent space, which can at least be used to store a few properties. .
Yang Yue came down in a hurry, her mask was a little crooked, because she was missing an eye, so occasionally her balance bar was not good, and she almost fell down when she went downstairs, but she was the one who quickly grabbed the handrail to avoid facing the ground result.
"Boss." Yang Yue stopped and greeted Zou Ming very respectfully.
Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming and found that Zou Ming was used to it. Zou Ming just nodded: "We just came to take a look."
Only then did Yang Yue look at Ye Zhou. She was confused for a moment, and then shocked. She recognized Ye Zhou, and after a while, she shouted in disbelief: "Boss Ye?"
Ye Zhou smiled at her and said, "It's me, your mask is damaged, I'll bring you some new ones tomorrow."
Yang Yue still stood there in a daze.
"Boss Ye...you haven't changed at all..."
Ten years, not ten days, how can someone not change at all in ten years?
She didn't know how old she was, but Ye Zhou was still young.
Is there really such a person who is favored by God in this world?
Ye Zhou didn't know what Yang Yue was thinking, he just asked: "Are you taking care of this place alone?"
Yang Yue almost failed to react, but she replied subconsciously: "There are others, but I live here."
Of course she can't take care of it by herself, but other people in the base have jobs, so they come to help clean after they get off work, but this kind of care is actually very limited, Yang Yue only cooks and changes clothes for the old people .
They have not yet had the luxury of taking a bath with water, so washing is to wipe the body with a wet towel.
But even so, it was impossible to do it before. After all, there was very little drinking water back then, let alone filtered water, no matter how dirty it was.
"Boss Ye...will you always stay here?" Yang Yue looked at Ye Zhou.
There were expectations and prayers in her eyes that she didn't even know about.
For so many years, she has always known who Zou Ming was thinking about. At that time, Zou Ming was always busy and never complained to others. At night, Zou Ming looked into the distance after everyone's carnival and said: "No matter how much I do, he can't see it."
He gritted his teeth and did everything he could. There were so many people cheering for him, but what he really cared about, the person who wanted to show the other party, couldn't see it, and wouldn't even know anything.
Yang Yue once had a heartbeat. After all, Ye Zhou is incompatible with this place. He is rich, capable, and personable. It is difficult for anyone not to like him after dealing with him, but the short-term heartbeat is just a heartbeat. Yang Yue I knew it was impossible from the beginning, so I never expressed hope, let alone deeply rooted love.
So when she looked at Zou Ming, she was only sad for Zou Ming.
She thought about persuading Zou Ming to accept the reality. Ye Zhou has been away for so many years. If he wanted to come back, he would have come back a long time ago. How could he not see anyone now?One cannot dwell on the past, one must always look forward.
But every time she tried to persuade her, she couldn't open her mouth.
It's too barren here, so barren that it's hard to have any feelings except for interests between people.
Like someone, miss someone, even if you can't meet each other, even if the other person doesn't know anything, but accompanied by pain, there should be some sweetness.
If so, why bother?It is no good to forget, it is better to remember.
Ye Zhou didn't know the specific reasons for the expectation and prayer in Yang Yue's eyes, but he still replied straightforwardly: "Yes, I will always stay here in the future."
Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief instantly, she grinned happily and said, "That's good, that's good."
"By the way, if you are free, you can go to the temporary hospital. It is estimated that it will be set up in the next two days to see how your body is." Ye Zhou feels sorry every time he sees her.
Yang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong, she smiled and said, "I'm in good health now, I can eat, sleep and work, besides, I have a boss to take care of me!"
Zou Ming: "If you have nothing to do, go and have a look."
After Zou Ming spoke, Yang Yue immediately said, "Then I'll go and have a look when I'm not busy."
Ye Zhou smiled and lightly bumped Zou Ming's waist with his elbow.
Zou Ming grabbed Ye Zhou's hand from behind calmly.
Ye Zhou was taken aback for a moment, because Yang Yue was still standing in front of him, this intimate gesture suddenly brought a sense of excitement of having an affair.
Yang Yue didn't see it, she was still saying: "It's good that Boss Ye is back, is the branch still open?"
She said with some embarrassment: "The meat in the base is still scarce, and the meat is bought in limited quantities, and sometimes you can't eat it once a month."
She expressed a simple wish: "I want to eat meat."
Many employees in the supermarket had never lived in the base. After learning that Ye Zhou was going to stay here for a month, they all moved into Base 276 with their luggage in high spirits.
"It's really hot here!" Aunt Li wiped the sweat off her face and looked up at the sun, "How do people live here?"
Cao'er hugged the quilt, wrinkled her nose and said, "Mother, you don't know, the sun is poisonous, after a whole afternoon, people are all dark."
Aunt Li glanced at the residents who were "surrounding" them not far away, and found that one was indeed blacker than the other, and many of them were blackened into carbon. She looked at the grass and made sure that the grass had not turned black into carbon before it loosened up. Tone: "You have to put on sunscreen, we have a lot of salary, this can't be saved."
"Mother still expects you to find a man!" Li Gu pulled Cao'er aside, "If you meet someone you like, don't be shy, it's okay to ask."
Cao'er didn't blush, she responded with "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" a few times.
Li Gu saw that her daughter was perfunctory her, but she was not angry, and she didn't rush, after all, their appearance and body hadn't changed all these years, and Cao'er still looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Just firmer.
"You still have to pay attention!" Aunt Li said in a low voice, "Even if you don't get married, you still have to have a child."
Cao'er glanced at her own mother, she looked at her mother's face in shock, looking sideways and vertically, Cao'er finally confirmed that this was indeed her mother.
Li Gu proudly said: "Don't underestimate your mother."
However, Cao'er is still not very interested in this proposal. She is interested in everything now, but not in starting a family.
"Let's talk about it later." Cao'er immediately shifted Aunt Li's attention, "I think the Immortal will return to Daliang Dynasty after this time!"
Aunt Li was taken aback, her expression was a little complicated, but she knew that Cao'er said this must be because Cao'er wanted to go back.
"What are we going to do when we go back?" Li Gu advised, "Following the immortal now, this is a good thing that many people can't even ask for after worshiping the Buddha for eight lifetimes. Following the immortal, we are all useful people. What is it when we go back?"
"I'm still a peasant woman when I go back." Aunt Li, "You say you won't get married or have children. If you go back, can you choose?"

"If you don't have a man, you're not human!" Li Gu said urgently, "You can't think of going back, Wu Yan and the others have a child, so they have to go back, and you don't have a child, what are you going back for?!"
"Why is there no child!" Cao'er suddenly shouted.
But her voice quickly became smaller again, and her lips trembled: "There is still a younger sister."
As soon as the word "sister" came out, Aunt Li was stunned. She hadn't thought of her little daughter for a long, long time.
She can't think about it, as long as she thinks about it, she can't breathe, and she can hear her little daughter calling her mother when she sleeps at night.

Cao'er didn't speak, she lowered her head and said after a while, "Mother, I don't blame you."
"Raising a younger sister costs food, and the younger sister can't run fast, so we don't have the energy to carry her on our backs anymore." Cao'er was trembling all over, "I can't blame you, if I took my younger sister, our family would have died long ago."
"But mother..." Cao'er said, "but that's my younger sister..."
Cao'er finally couldn't hold back the tears: "That's my sister..."
Aunt Li didn't shed tears, she had shed tears all her life as early as the beginning of fleeing famine, she didn't dare to cry when her husband died, she was the backbone of the family at that time, anyone could fall down, she couldn't.

"I can still walk." Li Gu looked at Cao'er.
This daughter who grew up beside her and has never been separated from her.
She was already much better than Gu Li had imagined.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "They are my daughters, the meat that fell out of my stomach, where can you find them?"
"You are the big sister." Li Gu's eyes softened, "I am their mother."
Aunt Li: "Mother will go find them, and Mother will find them out."
"It's my mother's fault."

However, Ye Zhou was already in the house. He was walking around the base with Zou Ming. There were not many people on the streets during the day. After all, the glass cover to adjust the sunlight was not enough for planting, so how could it cover the entire base.

His name is too Chinese, and his development speed is too fast. I'll go to The track was laid in the first year, and the wind turbines were built in the second year. According to the local aboriginals, several countries on the same continent were just unified and slavery was abolished ten years ago."
Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Maybe it's a time traveler? Or a supermarket owner like me? But he chose another track? If he's really aboriginal, he's a genius, a man born from heaven."
Zou Ming said with a complicated expression: "His queen is a man."
Ye Zhou: "...It can be regarded as adding luster to us."
Ye Zhou said with a smile: "It sounds interesting, maybe we will have a chance to go there again in the future."
Zou Ming also said: "It's very open there, same-sex people can get married."
Ye Zhou understood Zou Ming's hint. They had just established a relationship, and Zou Ming was already asking for an "identity".
But Ye Zhou didn't try to be perfunctory, but said seriously: "Let's talk about it after I go back and meet my parents."
As for the wedding with Zou Ming in his original plane, let's wait until that time to give Zou Ming a surprise.
If you say it early, there will be no surprises.

The slums at the base have been banned by the plantation. People who used to live in the slums have moved to the second circle. Now there are three circles in the base. The people who live in the center are basically administrators and those who once stood beside Zou Ming. Those who have made great contributions, and then the second circle, live in ordinary civilians.
Although the seats are different, there is not much difference in treatment. Because resources are limited, in order for everyone to survive, the current resources are almost evenly distributed. Although it is not a big pot of rice, it is similar to a big pot of rice.
Everyone's work is assigned, and the most numerous is planting, followed by food processing.
To prevent spoilage, crops are dehydrated immediately after harvest.
The meat is made into bacon. Although this method will reduce the weight and consume firewood, it is torture for the staff, but for the people, it is better to suffer than not to eat.
Water plants also need employees, and ordinary water needs to be filtered before it can be used as drinking water.
In order to save firewood, and the water will not cool down after boiling, Zou Ming spent a lot of potatoes before and replaced it with several sets of filtration systems from other bases to produce direct drinking water for the base.
After all, people have lived to the present, and bacteria and microorganisms must still exist.
The rest is to maintain law and order and the plot of the street. Carpentry is not available. People can only build tools and furniture by themselves, or find someone who can do this line of work to help them sit after get off work. .
Although the life is still very hard, the spiritual world is still poor, but there are jobs, food and water, and compared with the previous life, people are also very stable.
"Some people have already started having children." Zou Ming was a little proud when he mentioned this.
It's not that there was no life before, but it was all forced. After being pregnant, I dare not fight. After all, there is no medical treatment. If something goes wrong, even I will die, so I can only give birth.
And more, with a little condition, will find ways to prevent pregnancy.
Most of those who have no condition for contraception are actually unable to conceive, because their health is too poor.
Now that people are healthier and their lives are more stable, some people even start families and are willing to have children.
"This is the best." Ye Zhou also brought a smile on his face, "This way the base can continue to develop."
Without newborns, what will happen to the population of the base in the future?Grab from another base?Kill other people's relatives and friends, and let people come over and make this place their home?That's not realistic.
They quickly came to a small building, Zou Ming: "The people living here are old people who are no longer able to work, and there are also some children without parents."
This small building is very old, and the windows have been repaired, but they are all wooden windows, and it is not a good wood. Some of them can be foamed if you scratch it with your hands, but it is a place where people can live.
Zou Ming: "Each person can get two potatoes and half a glass of water every day."
It's just not enough to starve to death.
But Ye Zhou just sighed and didn't say anything.
It is not easy for the base to support these people who have lost their labor force.
"Yang Yue is in charge here now." Zou Ming led Ye Zhou in, "I want to find some work for them that they can do, but I just can't think of it."
Now most of the work at the base is manual labor, and it is difficult for adults to do it, let alone the elderly.
Especially the elderly here have difficulty even walking.
Being able to live until now is more because of their good luck.
And more people who lost their labor force, no matter how big or small, died before Zou Ming seized power.
Ye Zhou also felt that it was really hard to figure out how to make the people here work well. After all, there is no shortage of simple handicrafts here. After all, every household is still in a state of self-sufficiency. Apart from working to earn money, the rest of the things are It is obviously unrealistic to ask them to pay for it if they learn to do it by themselves.
And the difficult things that people have to spend money to buy, the old people can't do.
But Ye Zhou still comforted him: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way later."
Zou Ming just smiled.
When they walked into the small building, the decoration inside was very simple, and it could even be said that there was no decoration. The first thing they saw was the lobby. The load-bearing walls could not be removed, so the lobby seemed cramped, with only a few tables and chairs.
There were a few old people sitting on the chairs. They occasionally said a few words, but most of the time they closed their eyes and meditated, or fell asleep directly.
Someone saw Zou Ming, and squinted his eyes for a long time. It was determined that Zou Ming was holding on to the handrail with both hands in the future, and was about to stand up to say hello to Zou Ming.
The life here is indeed not good, but fortunately, the cleaning is fairly clean, and there is not much dust and sand.
There is no power supply at the base during the day, and electric lights are available at night, so the door must be opened to let sunlight in.
The windows cannot be opened, otherwise the room will be full of yellow sand.
The wind at night may still be a bit cool, but the hot wind engulfing the yellow sand during the day is definitely torture.
When Yang Yue came down, Ye Zhou was observing the interior of this small building accompanied by Zou Ming.
In fact, there is everything in the small building. It was originally used to house Zhao Qing's confidantes, so it has everything that should be there.
Later, it was distributed to the elderly because other people prefer to have a single-family house. In the past, they didn’t have the choice. After they had the choice, people still prefer to have an independent space, which can at least be used to store a few properties. .
Yang Yue came down in a hurry, her mask was a little crooked, because she was missing an eye, so occasionally her balance bar was not good, and she almost fell down when she went downstairs, but she was the one who quickly grabbed the handrail to avoid facing the ground result.
"Boss." Yang Yue stopped and greeted Zou Ming very respectfully.
Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming and found that Zou Ming was used to it. Zou Ming just nodded: "We just came to take a look."
Only then did Yang Yue look at Ye Zhou. She was confused for a moment, and then shocked. She recognized Ye Zhou, and after a while, she shouted in disbelief: "Boss Ye?"
Ye Zhou smiled at her and said, "It's me, your mask is damaged, I'll bring you some new ones tomorrow."
Yang Yue still stood there in a daze.
"Boss Ye...you haven't changed at all..."
Ten years, not ten days, how can someone not change at all in ten years?
She didn't know how old she was, but Ye Zhou was still young.
Is there really such a person who is favored by God in this world?
Ye Zhou didn't know what Yang Yue was thinking, he just asked: "Are you taking care of this place alone?"
Yang Yue almost failed to react, but she replied subconsciously: "There are others, but I live here."
Of course she can't take care of it by herself, but other people in the base have jobs, so they come to help clean after they get off work, but this kind of care is actually very limited, Yang Yue only cooks and changes clothes for the old people .
They have not yet had the luxury of taking a bath with water, so washing is to wipe the body with a wet towel.
But even so, it was impossible to do it before. After all, there was very little drinking water back then, let alone filtered water, no matter how dirty it was.
"Boss Ye...will you always stay here?" Yang Yue looked at Ye Zhou.
There were expectations and prayers in her eyes that she didn't even know about.
For so many years, she has always known who Zou Ming was thinking about. At that time, Zou Ming was always busy and never complained to others. At night, Zou Ming looked into the distance after everyone's carnival and said: "No matter how much I do, he can't see it."
He gritted his teeth and did everything he could. There were so many people cheering for him, but what he really cared about, the person who wanted to show the other party, couldn't see it, and wouldn't even know anything.
Yang Yue once had a heartbeat. After all, Ye Zhou is incompatible with this place. He is rich, capable, and personable. It is difficult for anyone not to like him after dealing with him, but the short-term heartbeat is just a heartbeat. Yang Yue I knew it was impossible from the beginning, so I never expressed hope, let alone deeply rooted love.
So when she looked at Zou Ming, she was only sad for Zou Ming.
She thought about persuading Zou Ming to accept the reality. Ye Zhou has been away for so many years. If he wanted to come back, he would have come back a long time ago. How could he not see anyone now?One cannot dwell on the past, one must always look forward.
But every time she tried to persuade her, she couldn't open her mouth.
It's too barren here, so barren that it's hard to have any feelings except for interests between people.
Like someone, miss someone, even if you can't meet each other, even if the other person doesn't know anything, but accompanied by pain, there should be some sweetness.
If so, why bother?It is no good to forget, it is better to remember.
Ye Zhou didn't know the specific reasons for the expectation and prayer in Yang Yue's eyes, but he still replied straightforwardly: "Yes, I will always stay here in the future."
Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief instantly, she grinned happily and said, "That's good, that's good."
"By the way, if you are free, you can go to the temporary hospital. It is estimated that it will be set up in the next two days to see how your body is." Ye Zhou feels sorry every time he sees her.
Yang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong, she smiled and said, "I'm in good health now, I can eat, sleep and work, besides, I have a boss to take care of me!"
Zou Ming: "If you have nothing to do, go and have a look."
After Zou Ming spoke, Yang Yue immediately said, "Then I'll go and have a look when I'm not busy."
Ye Zhou smiled and lightly bumped Zou Ming's waist with his elbow.
Zou Ming grabbed Ye Zhou's hand from behind calmly.
Ye Zhou was taken aback for a moment, because Yang Yue was still standing in front of him, this intimate gesture suddenly brought a sense of excitement of having an affair.
Yang Yue didn't see it, she was still saying: "It's good that Boss Ye is back, is the branch still open?"
She said with some embarrassment: "The meat in the base is still scarce, and the meat is bought in limited quantities, and sometimes you can't eat it once a month."
She expressed a simple wish: "I want to eat meat."
