Chapter 0 Extra 4: Li Yu'e
After returning from the boat, Wen Ling packed up her things and took the specialties she bought from other places. She looked up at Li Yu'e on the bed opposite her and said, "Aunt Yu'e, I'm going to the prison to see my brother. Do you want to go?"
Li Yu'e shook her head. "No, I have to go to the official warehouse to unload the goods later. After that I have to go to the hospital to get an artificial eye."
Her right eye was injured before, and the entire eyeball was removed. After the eyeball was removed, she has been wearing an eye patch. Over time, the area where the eye patch was worn has become much whiter and tenderer than other areas.
In fact, she could have installed a right eye a long time ago, but because the skin color of the area where she wore the eye patch was too obvious compared to other parts of her face, when she took off the eye patch her whole face looked like black and white, which damaged her image as a big sister.
Anyway, there is no rush to install the prosthetic eye. In the past few years, she has been trying to tan the skin on her face to the same skin color, or whiten it to the same skin color.
But every time she tanned her skin, the fleet always had some messy things to disturb her. Whitening was also impossible. In the past few years, there was no whitening mask in Xiaguo.
At the beginning of this year, someone in Star Harbor City produced some whitening creams. Li Yu'e secretly bought some and applied them for more than half a year. She also did some physical sunscreen, so the skin color on her face was not so obvious.
Everyone loves beauty. Before, there were no conditions and the environment did not allow people to pursue beauty. Now that living conditions are better, Li Yu'e has long wanted to get rid of the ugly eye patch on her face.
Before leaving the ship, the hospital had informed her that the artificial eye she ordered had been made, and she went to the hospital to install the artificial eye platform before leaving the ship for delivery. Now that she is back, it is time to install the artificial eye lens.
After coming out of the official warehouse, Li Yu'e scanned a shared bicycle and rode happily to the hospital.
After learning from the doctor how to install the artificial eye by herself, Li Yu'e went back with a box of customized artificial eyes.
There are a total of 6 prosthetic eyes in this box, and the pupil color of each prosthetic eye is different. There are star-like blue prosthetic eyes, brown, orange-red, gray, light green and a prosthetic eye that is exactly the same as her left eye pupil.
Li Yu'e returned home, put on an orange-red prosthetic eye, and looked left and right in the mirror. She was very satisfied, except that her hair was a little frizzy.
Thinking of the newly opened barber shop at the corner of the street, Li Yu'e took the key and went out to get a neat short haircut. Then she went home, washed up, changed into a pair of work pants and a tight camouflage short-sleeved shirt, and admired herself in the mirror for a long time.
"Not bad, not bad. If I carry a big gun, everyone will know that I am not someone you can easily mess with. I am so cool and handsome!"
"Sister Yu'e, Sister Yu'e, are you home?"
Xiao Zheyu's voice suddenly rang out, startling Li Yu'e. "Here I come, here you come, did you smell the smell? I just got home and you came to my door."
Xiao Zheyu shouted outside: "I saw Su Ran came back, so I guessed that you came back too, so I came to find you."
Li Yu'e opened the door and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Li Yu'e was not wearing an eye patch and made a new discovery. When Xiao Zheyu saw her, he thought he had recognized the wrong person. "Sister Yu'e, did you get an artificial eye? When did you get it?"
Li Yu'e showed off her artificial eye and said, "I just got it installed at the hospital. How is it? Not bad, right?"
"This color is so cool! It looks just like the eyes of characters in anime."
Xiao Zheyu was not flattering, but the color of the artificial eye was indeed beautiful. The craftsman who made the artificial eye slowly made it stroke by stroke, and the color of the lines radiating from the pupil went from light to dark, layer by layer, and the painting was extremely beautiful, like a blooming firework.
Li Yu'e smiled and said, "This artificial eye costs 12,000 points. How can it not look good?"
Xiao Zheyu curled his lips when he heard this, "I spent tens of thousands of points to order a prosthetic limb and you said I was a spendthrift, but I spent twelve thousand to buy a small prosthetic eye."
Li Yu'e glared at him. "How can they be the same? My prosthetic eye is only 12,000 yuan, and your prosthetic limb is over 100,000 yuan."
"Don't stand here, come in and sit down. Tell me why you came to see me."
Xiao Zheyu looked around and asked, "Is Lingling home?"
"I went to the prison to see Wen Xu. Are you looking for her?"
Xiao Zheyu shook his head, "No, I want to ask you if you want to have a child of your own, but it's hard for me to ask with Lingling here."
"Give birth to your own child?" Li Yu'e looked puzzled. "What does that mean?"
Xiao Zheyu said, "Now the capital has issued a policy that if you want to have a child, you can go to the hospital to register for free and choose to use an artificial uterus to conceive a child without having to experience the pain of childbirth."
"I heard that this policy is only open for two years. After two years, except for couples with fertility difficulties who can enjoy artificial uterus surrogacy and artificial insemination for free, other single people cannot enjoy this treatment."
"Sister Sun Qing has signed up to use an artificial womb to give birth to a son. Sister Yu'e, do you want to give birth to one too?"
Li Yu'e frowned, "I already have Lingling, why should I have a baby? It's very troublesome to take care of a baby."
Xiao Zheyu pursed his lips and said, "Sister Yu'e, I'm not trying to sow discord. Lingling has no blood relationship with you. Who can guarantee that she will support you when she grows up?"
"You've seen all these natural disasters over the years. Even blood relatives can turn against each other, not to mention that you and Lingling are not related by blood. If you give birth to a child, Lingling can be your companion. When you get old, you can also have a child to support you in your old age."
Li Yu'e sighed, "Xiao Yu, your idea is wrong. You can't give birth to a child just because you want someone to take care of you in your old age. This is too irresponsible for the child."
"I don't need others to take care of me in my old age. When I lose the ability to take care of myself, I will choose to take care of myself. I don't want to be a burden to others, nor do I want to live without dignity. So you don't need to mention the matter of having children to take care of me in my old age."
Xiao Zheyu didn't say anything when he heard this. He was worried about Li Yu'e's future retirement problems, so he suggested that Li Yu'e also have a child.
Wen Ling is pretty good to Li Yu'e now, and she looks like a grateful child. But who can guarantee that Wen Ling will not change in the future? Isn't Wen Xu a living example? And up to now, Wen Ling has not changed her words and called Li Yu'e "Mom".
Xiao Zheyu didn't know that the reason why Wen Ling and Wen Xu didn't call Li Yu'e "Mom" was because Li Yu'e asked for it. She felt very uncomfortable when Wen Ling and Wen Xu called her "Mom", and felt that they made her look old, so she asked the twins to call her aunt all the time.
Although Li Yu'e didn't want to have a baby, other members of the fleet wanted to, so she asked Lu Lanshan for five days of vacation, so that the crew could apply for a place to have a baby within these five days.
One year later, almost every member of the crew had a baby. In order not to delay the crew from leaving the ship, Li Yu'e discussed with Sun Qing and others and opened a baby room on the ship and hired several nannies to take care of the babies.
In this way, they can go out on the ship and raise their children at the same time without any delay.
