Both the Zuo family head and Bai Shuang felt bad when they talked about the people who hadn't returned yet.

Zuo Dashao and the others have not returned yet, and on Bai Shuang's side, even more relatives have not returned.

But there's nothing we can do about it. All we can do now is increase our search efforts and send more people out.

However, this would consume a lot of manpower and resources, and the current capacity of the base must be considered.

Furthermore, we should strive to develop production so that when they return, they will have food to eat, clothes to wear, and houses to live in.

"Uncle Sae, I invited you here today because I want you to be my assistant."

The head of the Zuo family smiled and said, "As long as my niece still finds me worthy, I, Zuo, am willing to serve her like a dog or a horse."

According to the rules of the Huaxia base, the original position is no longer valid. I had originally thought that since there were high-ranking officials from all over the country here, I might not be given an important position.

Later, when they learned that Bai Shuang and her husband were the local bigwigs, they were very excited, since they had at least some connection with Bai Shuang.

He was even thinking of taking the time to use this girl's connections to see if he could get a decent job, but he didn't expect that this girl was still thinking about him.

He once again admired his mother's foresight.

He was willing to serve the base and wanted to pave the way for his son and nephew, which was exactly what he wanted.

But to Bai Shuang, he is a human being, not a god, so it's normal for him to have his own little schemes.

As long as he has the ability to do his job well and can grasp the right direction in the face of major issues, that's fine.

"You can take charge of traffic. Now that the base is bigger, traffic management needs to be standardized."

Roads that needed repair were being repaired, and each road had its name, warning signs, and so on.

There are currently many military personnel at the base, so the traffic police are military personnel.

Based on the actual situation of our base and referring to the pre-disaster situation, establishing a complete transportation system and relevant laws and regulations, as well as promoting and training relevant technical personnel, is not easy.

"Uncle Sae, you're a long-time boss, so thank you for all this trouble."

"Thank you for your trust, my niece. I will do my best."

After the Zuo family head left, Bai Shuang was about to go home when the security guard said a woman had arrived at the gate and asked if she wanted to see her.

"What's your name?"

"She said her surname was Yuwen."

Bai Shuang thought of Young Master Yuwen. "Let her in."

The woman had rough skin, was thin and haggard, and her clothes, though not dirty, were patched.

She was holding a dark-skinned, thin child in her arms. The child's hair was very short, cut as if a dog had chewed it, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

The child's clothes looked like they were wrapped in a bundle, clearly made from adult clothes, and by an amateur.

Bai Shuang stared for a long time, still unsure of who she was from the Yuwen family. In the end, she spoke first.

"I am Miss Yuwen."

Miss Yuwen? Bai Shuang still remembered the elegant and beautiful Miss Yuwen, dressed in white.

But the person in front of me is clearly a middle-aged woman.

"Oh, you're the one who married Wang Ming."

Unexpectedly, they came back too.

"Is there something you need?"

"I heard my brother is a hero who made contributions to the base?"

She had just returned to the base a few days ago and only heard about this yesterday.

"Yes, he was shot and killed by a Japanese soldier while protecting a shipment of weapons. The base posthumously awarded him the title of hero, and his ashes have been buried in the Heroes' Cemetery."

Where are the rest of my family?

"They were all killed by Xiao Ben and turned into cured meat. If we hadn't arrived in time, your brother would have been killed by Xiao Ben too."

When we arrived on that island, your brother was already tied to a chopping board.

Before she could finish speaking, tears began to fall from Miss Yuwen's eyes.

"By the way, I've had someone bring back the submarine room in your house that was taken over by the little notebook. You can go and get it back."

Miss Yuwen nodded, "Thank you!"

"I'm here today not only to clarify things with my family, but also to divorce Wang Ming. I'll take the child with me, and from now on, he'll take my surname, Yuwen."

Wang Ming treated her badly. The person who was dating Wang Ming back then was her family's second young lady, not her.

She married Wang Ming because of a family alliance; her family wanted to use Wang Ming's father's power.

Now that the Yuwen family is gone, there's no need to continue this marriage.

Bai Shuang: "If you've thought it through, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. There are people there who are in charge."

"Thank you, I understand."

"In addition, since your brother has been awarded the title of hero, the base also has a reward of 10,000 points, which you can claim."

Thank you!

Miss Yuwen bowed and left.

When Lu Yu got home from get off work, he told Bai Shuang that Jasser's arms list had arrived, but it wasn't much.

Bai Shuang glanced at the order form. "It's alright. Even a small amount is still something. We still have some past relationship, so let's make a deal."

These weapons, while not as valuable as Babylonian oil, were still worth several hundred million before the disaster.

Lu Yu nodded, "If my wife says it's okay, then it's okay."

Bai Shuang: "When are we going to collect it?"

"You don't need to worry about it anymore. I'll arrange for someone to take the normal route and bring it back. I can't let you do everything."

Just stay home and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy.

Bai Shuang asked in surprise, "What kind of pregnancy?"

"Of course it's the womb that will nurture our child!"

This person is obsessed.

Bai Shuang glanced at him. "I'm not pregnant yet."

"Who knows? We're in such good health, we might already be pregnant."

Bai Shuang didn't want to pay attention to him, but she still thought about it and urged Wenwen to learn midwifery so that she could help when the time came.

There are surgeons in this field, but they are all men; it's easier to communicate with women.

With a population gap emerging, the base should encourage childbirth, but this should begin next year. It's too early now, and any encouragement would be empty talk.

Because if we promote this, we have to help women improve their health, which means providing them with welfare.

After the torment of the end times, almost all women have lost their menstrual cycles.

This year's grain harvest is not enough to feed everyone in the base for a year, meaning they still can't have enough to eat.

As long as she can make ends meet, she can't always rely on her own food savings to supplement her income.

You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household; every step forward requires a solid economic foundation.

But these crops, which Bai Shuang believes are not many, are currently unique in the world.

Other bases either failed to cultivate the crops, or if they did, they grew extremely poorly.

This is why bases in other countries can't recruit people, while the Chinese base has a large number of people on its periphery.

However, we can recruit those who are in better physical condition and are relatively young, especially women, from outside the base to balance the male-to-female ratio.

This winter, some things can also be grown in the greenhouse to supplement the food shortage.

Just as the base was busy harvesting the last batch of crops, a group of special people arrived outside the base gate.

Lu Yu told Bai Shuang that the high-ranking officials from the former southern base had arrived.

"They've come to visit?"

Lu Yu: "What are you asking? They didn't build a base; they came to seek refuge with us."

Why don't they build a base?
