Chapter 509: Who is Pregnant? The Future of the Base (Three-in-One, Big Chapter, Brothers)_3
Don't overthink it; it's very simple. Dad would probably be happy about it.
Li Hang nodded.
A little while later.
Li Yu brought his father, Li Hongyuan, and talked to him about Li Hang's situation.
The father was overjoyed, constantly patting Li Hang on the shoulder and saying, "Good lad, good lad."
He hadn't thought much about it; he was going to be a grandpa.
Of course, he was happy.
Although it's still the post-apocalyptic era, the situation at the Big Camphor Tree Base is relatively stable.
Li Yu found Ding Jiu and spoke frankly.
"Uncle Ding, Xiao Hang and Qingqing have been dating for a while now, and now there's a child, just two months along. Let's set a date early and get them married soon."
Ding Jiu looked at Li Hang with a complex expression.
To be honest, Li Hang used to visit his house while he was still in school.
They had known each other before.
But he had never thought that Li Hang would become his son-in-law.
As the saying goes, a father-in-law's impression of his son-in-law worsens the more he looks.
The more he looked at Li Hang after knowing about his daughter's pregnancy, the less he liked him.
He sighed.
This was the best outcome for Qingqing.
As Li Hang's older brother, Li Yu would definitely take care of them, and as a leading figure in the base, he would certainly look after his family.
So, he said, "Alright, let's have the wedding as soon as possible."
Li Yu thought for a moment and then said to Ding Jiu, "Uncle Ding, rest assured, we're all family now. Xiao Hang is my brother, and I will definitely help him if there's any problem.
Besides, Xiao Hang has become a lot more dependable."
Then, seeing Li Hang still standing there dumbfounded, forgetting everything he was just told to do,
Li Yu turned to Li Hang and kicked him, saying, "Quit spacing out, show some initiative to Uncle Ding."
Li Hang immediately straightened up and raised his hand to Ding Jiu, saying, "Uncle Ding, I swear, I will definitely treat Qingqing well."
His gestures were clumsy, but his sincerity was evident.
Ding Jiu's irritation dissipated a lot, and he waived his hand and said, "I believe you. Alright."
Li Yu, seizing the moment, said, "I just checked the almanac, and the day after tomorrow is very auspicious. Why don't we have the wedding then?"
Li Hongyuan, after counting on his fingers, also said happily, "Old Ding, indeed, the day after tomorrow is good."
Ding Jiu thought that was fine too; the sooner they married, the better.
Thus, everyone agreed on the time.
Li Yu had Father Li help Li Hang with the wedding preparations.
In this post-apocalyptic world, the idea of holding a grand and glorious wedding ceremony
has become pointless.
The old set of rules from before the apocalypse no longer has any relevance.
A house?
There are houses everywhere, more houses than people, just pick one.
In the post-apocalyptic world, safety is the most important thing for houses.
Having a base with walls over ten meters high is better than anything else.
Cars?
Turn left when you go out, pick any on the national highway.
Now gasoline is more valuable than cars, but currently, the base handles the distribution.
Money?
That thing isn't even as good as tissue paper; at least tissue paper makes wiping your butt a bit more comfortable.
Jewelry and precious metals?
These things, they have no practical effect. Besides, Li Yu has two tons of gold, but nowhere to spend it.
Everyone agreed that there was really no need to prepare anything.
In these times, food is the safest and most important thing.
But now, in the base, a rationing system is in place.
Inside the Big Camphor Tree Base, food and lodging are provided!
After chatting for a long time, in the end, Li Yu decided that sending Ding Jiu two boxes of liquor and six cartons of cigarettes would be sufficient.
And these items were indeed valuable hard currency during the post-apocalypse.
Thieves value them!
The advent of the post-apocalypse has also made marriage more pure.
Houses, cars, and money have all become unimportant.
The key question is, whether this man is worth a girl spending the post-apocalyptic world with, facing life and death together.
...
In the dead of night, Ding Qingqing had long since woken up.
After completing a round of checkups in the medical room, Ding Qingqing's mood was somewhat complex.
Li Hang, sitting beside her on a bench, had kept her company throughout all the examinations.
It is worth mentioning that.
Before the apocalypse, Li Yu had stockpiled some medical equipment, but some were too expensive to afford and others required specific procedures to purchase.
Thus, after the apocalypse, they moved all the basic medical equipment from the town's county hospital, even the downtown First People's Hospital, back to the base.
Such as:
Diagnostic equipment:
Physical diagnostic tools (such as thermometers, blood pressure monitors, microscopes, audiometers, various physiological recorders, etc.), imaging (such as X-ray machines, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound, etc.), analytical instruments (such as various types of counters, biochemical, immunoassay instruments, etc.), electrophysiological (such as ECG, EEG, EMG, etc.).
Therapeutic equipment:
General surgical instruments, optically guided surgical instruments (such as fiber endoscopes, laser therapy machines, etc.); auxiliary surgical instruments (such as anesthesia machines, ventilators, extracorporeal circulation, etc.); radiotherapy machinery (such as deep X-ray therapy machines, cobalt-60 therapy machines, accelerators, gamma knives, various isotope therapy devices, etc.); other types (such as microwave, hyperbaric oxygen, etc.).
This time, due to Ding Qingqing's pregnancy, it also caused Li Yu to reflect a bit.
So he found Second Uncle to discuss.
Second Uncle was still on the base's walls, diligently watching the distant mountains.
The distant forests, due to the locusts' ravages, had become completely bare.
After Li Yu came over, he briefly mentioned Li Hang and his own matters, then said: "Second Uncle, when we were collecting equipment outside, we only brought back some basic ones.
There are some advanced medical equipment only available in provincial capitals. If we get them now, we might need them later.
Moreover, Bai Jie has also been complaining to me recently that we don't have some equipment in our vicinity.
So, my idea is to find a time to go to the provincial city and bring back the medical equipment, just in case."
Second Uncle was a bit stunned. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses.
Repeatedly he praised the situation three times, a blessing for the Li Family to flourish.
What a wonderful thing.
After thinking for a while, Second Uncle said: "It's possible, but right now we're still building the Outer City. I think it's better to finish the construction of the Outer City first."
Li Yu nodded and replied: "Okay. This way it's also more stable."
The two then talked about the future development of the base.
Originally, Li Yu had always wanted to cling to a small piece of land, leading his family and friends to live well in this post-apocalyptic world.
But who could think that as time went on, the development of the base was clearly heading in a bigger direction.
Li Yu wasn't too entangled, as he didn't have a strong grasp of management.
Yet he knew one thing, no matter how development fares.
He, and his family, must hold absolute dominance within the base.
There is no such thing as democracy.
He, himself, is democracy.
After all, in the apocalypse, he has no obligation to protect others.
If you want to join the Big Camphor Tree Base, you have to listen to him.
If not, then don't join.
Moreover, after joining the Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu was generally very good to everyone.
Treating everyone equally.
...
In the northern part of the provincial city.
Poyang Lake, the head of Xunyang River.
At the moment, a burly man, leading a group of people with Long Knives in hand,
watched the enemy in front of them without any fear.
"Ma Jun, aren't you afraid of attracting zombies by coming here in the dead of night?" the burly man said.
The man called Ma Jun laughed heartily towards the sky: "Zombies, what do we have to fear? If we're bitten by zombies, then it's the will of the Lord."
The burly man continued: "What exactly do you want by coming here? We don't interfere with each other's affairs, you don't want both sides to suffer a massive loss, do you?"
Ma Jun's face showed a ferocious look, with a row of human bones hanging on his chest, looking very twisted.
He arrogantly said: "You just obediently provide the food, and we'll leave you alone. If the Mantis and Black Snake can take their share, why can't I, Ma Jun?
Are you looking down on me?"
The last sentence, like a thunderous roar, burst out.
