Chapter 204 - Successful Employment

"Do you know whether to cut horizontally or by counting? There are seven layers of fat, and you have to cut them layer by layer. And there are cosmetic needles. Do you know how to sew?" Jingshu said contemptuously.

"I don't have to learn all the time. Maybe I'll be the midwife in this area someday. If things don't go smoothly, I'll just cut open the belly and take the baby out. It's exciting just thinking about it. I really regret not enrolling in medicine and spending time in a formalin pool. I studied some crappy agriculture instead. Now I'm following a biology tutor. Sigh, it's all fate."

"How about you cut and I sew? Look at the stitches you make. When you pull them at the end, you can't even see the thread. It's all wrapped under your skin."

Jingshu's eyes lit up. Besides the bodies wrecked by the earthquake, there would also be bodies crushed by the impact. Her stitching skills would be very much needed then. "Honey, I recommend using a cosmetic needle. It won't leave scars."

"Okay, it's settled."

Along the way, the two excitedly discussed how to dissect and how to sew, and both wanted to practice on Zhang Bingbing. After all, Jingshu had the spiritual spring and anesthetics, so no one would die.

"If she can't get it down, we'll dig it out," Jingshu said.

I don’t know if Jingshu’s words were too hurtful, or if Zhang Bingbing, who was already mentally ill, heard these words and felt their power, or if the child in Zhang Bingbing’s belly felt the full malice of Jingshu and the other person.

In short, when Jingshu and Wu Youai arrived at Zhang Bingbing's residence, before they asked what was going on, Wu Youai didn't even have time to say the guiding words: "Take a deep breath, inhale and exhale."

Jing Shu had already seen a small head peeking out from under Zhang Bingbing's spread legs, as if to say, "No need for you to come, I can come out by myself!"

"Hurry, push harder!" Wu Youai hurried forward and shouted, doing the final midwifery work, at least proving that she had delivered a baby before.

Then there was a sound of pulling, and Zhang Bingbing's husband pulled the baby out with its head and body.

"Wa wa!" The loud baby cry sounded, and there was no need to even pat the soles of the feet.

Jingshu: “???”

Wu Youai: “???”

"That's it? The birth is over? It's that simple?"

"It seems, yes?"

"It's a boy!"

"I don't know whether it's yours or mine." The old man felt a little melancholy. If it was his, then it would be his son's younger brother. If it was his son's, then it would be his grandson.

"Dad, just treat him as our son."

The extremely weird conversation reminded Wu Youai that she would send these two people to labor reform after the baby was one month old. Anyway, without the child's resistance, let's see what they can say.

Jingshu raised the scissors. She was not there to deliver the baby, but to hand over the scissors and cut the umbilical cord.

No matter what, Jingshu will be able to say to others in the future: "I have delivered babies and cut umbilical cords."

Jingshu calculated the time and found that it took less than twenty minutes to give birth to the baby. This made her wonder if all the scary things said on the Internet were just jokes.

However, for some people, giving birth is like a matter of life and death, for some people, they give birth while riding a motorcycle, and for some people, they give birth in the toilet... In a word, there are all kinds of people, it all depends on fate.

“So ugly.”

"Babies are born this ugly."

"All right."

As the first child born in the Banana Community, naming was a major issue. Zhang Bingbing's husbands recognized Wu Youai's rights and said, "You are the administrator of our community. You get to name the baby."

Wu Youai looked at Jingshu and said, "How about you give it a name and I'll enter the big data?"

Jing Shu pondered and said, "Let's call him Zhang Dada. I hope he can grow up safely in this apocalypse."

"It's fine to have the surname Zhang, it's the same as the baby's mother's. Zhang Dada is easy to remember."

"Just Zhang Dada."

Wu Youai rolled her eyes, thinking Jingshu could do something.

What about a meaningful name? "Okay, let's call him Zhang Dada."

Wu Youai collected some things for pregnant women and babies in the group, and Shao Nai You Wai Bao sent all the things that Tuanzi didn't need over, finally solving Zhang Bingbing's problem. By the time Jingshu finished her work here, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

Jingshu wanted to go back to catch up on some sleep, but Zhou Paopi was already waiting at the door in his Alfa. He smiled with his big yellow teeth and said, "Go over there early. It's a long way to go."

Jingshu's teeth were chattering. Okay, then I must have a good sleep tonight.

Jingshu thought Zhou Paopi's words "the road is far" were just a polite remark, but she didn't expect it to be really far!

The mountain range in Wucheng is a horizontal one, and they finally reached the destination after climbing over one mountain after another. Fortunately, the terrain here is high, otherwise the car would not be able to drive in. Jingshu estimated the distance to be about twenty kilometers.

Because the water was above our knees and driving was very slow in the dark, it took us over an hour to get there.

"We used to grow snow lotus here. The land over there was all ours, and we planted common things there. After we catalyzed a batch two months before the apocalypse, we started growing them in greenhouses. With the current awful weather, we really can't grow anything."

"This is Wucheng's 20-year-old pharmaceutical factory. It has a wide range of products. They refine the medicines over there. Oh, and there's also a processing plant specifically for traditional Chinese medicine."

"Look, there's a warehouse over there. In the past, all the medicinal herbs shipped from Wucheng to other provincial capitals, and also shipped from other provincial capitals, had to pass through here. But now it's already empty. They were all secretly transferred away by the government."

"This place has long since evolved into a self-sufficient township."

"Before the apocalypse, there were over ten thousand people here. Then, when work stopped, more than half were laid off. After the water shortage last year, everyone went their separate ways. Only we are left. We have to plant even if we can't. If we run out of food, we can eat other things. But if we get sick, we can't live without medicine."

Jingshu felt the same way, but the few medicinal herbs she grew could only be supplied to a few people. And among these few, whoever had the ability could get them. This was the cruelty of the end times.

Zhou Paopi parked the car at a new building with very high ceilings. Although it only had three floors, each floor was about 1,000 meters high and looked very majestic.

Zhou Paopi said proudly, "This was built by the state before the end of the world specifically for the provincial capital's medicinal materials association. It's packed with high-tech equipment, including a room that can simulate weather systems. It's just very energy-intensive, so there's only one in each provincial capital, and only twenty-six in the entire country."

Jingshu nodded, it was indeed very high-end.

"Okay, you have to press your fingerprint here before you can enter." Zhou Paopi said, pointing to the fingerprint reader at the door.

"Ding ding, Jingshu's profile has been successfully entered, linking to big data... Please enter your iris."

Jingshu always felt something was a little strange, but she still recorded her iris.

"Didi has successfully joined the company."

Zhou Paopi chuckled and said, "Alright, from now on you are a member of the Wucheng Medicinal Materials Association!"

Jingshu: “???”
