Life is mundane, and time always flies by. Before we knew it, five months had passed.
Wang Feifei's pregnancy is getting more and more noticeable every day, and she can already feel the little one moving around, kicking her belly every now and then, which excites Xu Neng every time.
She has completely adapted to this kind of life, living her simple and happy life.
Xu Neng came more and more frequently. Although he could only kiss and hug each other and couldn't do anything else, he was very fond of this feeling.
He felt incredibly content just watching Wang Feifei's sleeping face; if he put his ear to her belly, he could even hear the little one swimming...
It felt wonderful and blissful. He often had the urge to completely abandon everything and stay with her and their child.
When Xu Neng came to visit her this time, he specially asked the chef to make some appetizing sweet and sour foods, such as hawthorn cake, apple jam, and pineapple cake.
I'll stock up on them to eat as snacks when I don't have an appetite.
Wang Feifei's morning sickness gradually improved, and at noon Xu Neng cooked a large table of dishes. Although the quantity was not large, the variety was astonishing:
Running in the mountains, swimming in the water, flying in the sky...
Xu Neng was always worried that she wasn't getting enough nutrition, so he would cook different kinds of food for her every time he came.
In just a few months, Wang Feifei gained weight.
"Have I gained a lot of weight?" Wang Feifei asked abruptly while looking in the mirror.
"Do you think so?" Xu Neng walked gently to her side: "Where have you gained weight? Let me see."
As he spoke, his hand had already touched her skin. Xu Neng looked at her affectionately, tightened his arms around her, and suddenly leaned down to kiss her.
Infinite tenderness, so gentle it was unlike him...
Only after she was kissed until she was panting heavily did Xu Neng whisper in her ear in a hoarse voice:
"Is it okay? I checked, and it should be possible now..."
Xu Neng had held back for several months before finally asking the question cautiously.
Wang Feifei didn't speak, but responded with even more intimate gestures. However, Xu Neng's teasing was something she couldn't resist, and she quickly gave in, her body going limp.
The next second, he gently picked her up...
This time, he was extremely gentle and restrained...
...
In two months, the base will also begin setting up the delivery rooms. Xu Neng is very concerned about this and has been preparing for it for a long time.
Once everything is ready, Wang Feifei will head to the base to prepare for childbirth.
Xu Neng didn't want anyone to know about the existence of the safe house, and he had filled his schedule with activities to ensure absolute safety over the past few months.
First, regarding the status of women, Xu laid a lot of groundwork before taking action: he first abolished the distinction between apostles and workers, with everyone performing their duties in their respective areas of expertise, and being directly managed by the team leader.
Without apostles, there would be no "common wives." Every woman would enjoy the same rights as men and be free to choose a partner and form a family.
Women, like men, can acquire resources through labor, and their work also brings them more freedom, with their activities no longer restricted.
Secondly, there is the issue of food sources. The base's planting area has already taken shape, with various vegetables being harvested one after another. Based on the length of their growth cycles, various vegetables and forage grasses are planned for planting.
Three months ago, Xu traded two sleds for four calves. With plenty of pasture, they have grown quite a bit and will be able to breed calves next year.
Meanwhile, the steel mill finally received the sleds, and their movements were no longer restricted, allowing them to travel freely!
Xia Xiaobao frequently sent people to the city to search for various supplies.
During this time, Chen Nian had become Lao Tan's son-in-law and officially joined the steel plant.
No matter how much Lao Tan didn't want to, it was no use. The deed was done, and his daughter was determined to be with him. In the end, Lao Tan had no choice but to accept it.
After marriage, Chen Nian was very obedient and pleasing, spoiling Tan Jiaojiao rotten, and even promised that if they had children in the future, they would take the surname of the Tan family.
Old Tan only has one daughter, and the lack of a successor is a thorn in his side. Chen Nian's actions undoubtedly touched Old Tan's heart, and his wife and father-in-law were all delighted by his actions.
Old Tan, in particular, became more and more satisfied with his son-in-law.
What puzzled him was that his son-in-law seemed very interested in hunting rifles, and repeatedly asked him to teach him the tricks of using them.
Since they were all family now, Lao Tan didn't hold back and taught Chen Nian everything without reservation.
After several months of training, Chen Nian's marksmanship had surpassed his teachers'. Because of his outstanding marksmanship, he was directly admitted to the steel mill guard team.
Today was the day the guard team was to enter the city to search for supplies, and Chen Nian set off early in the morning with Xiao Wu and the others.
Sitting in the sled he knew so well, Chen Nian felt a mix of emotions...
If he had accepted his fate, he could have lived a good life, but unfortunately, he still harbored a heart full of hatred with nowhere to vent it.
Especially when I saw my family's supermarket again...
Xiao Wu pointed to the supermarket sign and asked everyone if they wanted to try their luck.
Chen Nian gave a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with melancholy:
"No need to go. That's my family's supermarket; it was all sold out of 'Ice Club' products long ago."
What kind of organization is the "Ice Society"?
"They are the group that allied with our steel mill."
"Oh, then why did you join their organization after they robbed your supermarket?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.
"Because they not only steal things, they also steal and eat people."
After saying this, Chen Nian fell into endless pain. He hated the "Cold Ice Society" for changing his fate, and he hated Xu Neng and Wang Feifei even more for making him live a miserable life, living in fear every day.
He disliked Tan Jiaojiao, yet was forced to have an affair with her, and had to pretend to love her deeply; he loathed Lao Tan, yet had to fawn over him…
