"Brother Lu, Miss Bai, I never thought we would meet again in this life."
Qin Yuan's expression was ambiguous, whether he was crying or laughing.
Lu Yu patted them on the shoulder, "It's good that you're alive. I've already spoken to the resettlement department. If there's anything urgent, you can tell them."
Newcomers are managed by the resettlement department, which has a complete system in place. Unless there are special circumstances, Lu Yu and Bai Shuang will not interfere.
When they encounter people like those at Tangcheng Base, who have friends there, they will ask someone to put in a good word for them and give them special treatment.
All five fingers are of different lengths, so it's impossible to treat everyone the same.
Lu Yu and his companion did not ask who else was in Zou Yuan's family.
In the end times, this is taboo.
It's rare for a family not to have lost someone; casually asking about it can stir up sadness in the other person's heart.
Qin Yuan: "We don't lack anything; everything has been arranged."
However, from now on, I'll have to rely on Miss Bai for a living.
This means he wants the two of them to arrange a position for him.
He wasn't a soldier, so he couldn't get a position in Lu Yu's group.
Bai Shuang smiled, "We'll make a living together."
"Yes, we all have to make a living, this is what the end times are like."
"Mr. Qin, please become my assistant."
"Thank you so much, Miss Bai. I will do my best to assist you! I'll start work tomorrow?"
Bai Shuang and her team are temporarily using the original pharmaceutical factory's large building as their office. (The fields haven't produced any medicinal herbs yet, and the pharmaceutical factory hasn't opened for business.)
Mr. Qin knew that Bai Shuang and Bai Shuang were praising him; Bai Shuang's assistant held a very high position.
Lu Yu: "Take a couple of days off, no rush."
"No need to rest, I've been wanting to experience what it's like to work for a long time."
Floating on the water with nothing to do, that's when you're truly desperate. At that moment, I remember how happy I was when I was at work!
Just as Bai Shuang was about to go inside to find Wenwen, Mr. Qin beckoned, and a dark-skinned, thin woman standing to the side walked over.
Bai Shuang still found it strange.
Then Qin Yuan said, "Quickly call them uncle and aunt."
Good heavens, Bai Shuang thought the woman looked older than her, yet she called both of them "uncle" and "aunt."
The girl saw the couple, who looked like they had descended from heaven, and was a little speechless.
She glanced at Qin Yuan again, and finally, without hesitation, greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt!"
Lu Yu's lips twitched slightly, but he remained silent.
Bai Shuang had no choice but to smile and nod in response.
She asked Qin Yuan, "Is this your daughter?"
Qin Yuan was a little embarrassed. "This child looks older than his age, but he's actually only twenty-seven."
Bai Shuang thought to herself, "Thank goodness, he's at least younger than me. If he were any older, it would be awkward."
Qin Yuan: "Could you arrange a job for my daughter as well?"
If he can offer to arrange a job, then he definitely doesn't want his daughter to go farming.
Bai Shuang: "What did she study?"
"I was in high school before the disaster, but the disaster delayed my college application."
That means they lack professional knowledge.
"Oh, I see. If you don't want to farm, then become a supermarket cashier."
If you want to do something else, a job that requires technical skills, then you can only become an apprentice.
What do you think?
Don't underestimate the apocalypse; many of the survivors are highly educated.
Few of those who have survived to this day are truly remarkable, and given the country's past intentional protection of talent, although there are fewer people now, there seems to be no shortage of talent.
Qin Yuan looked at his daughter and saw her nod.
Thank you!
Bai Shuang: "You guys chat, I'm going in to see my friends."
Qin Yuan wanted to help, but when Bai Shuang mentioned Yu Wenwen's name, he didn't recognize it.
Then, Lu Yu continued chatting with him, while Bai Shuang led Bai Jiu and the other two inside to look for someone.
But after looking around, she couldn't see Wenwen. Just as she was about to ask someone next to her, she heard someone call her name.
"Sister Bai!"
Bai Shuang turned around and saw a tall, thin man who was practically skin and bones.
She looked at him for a while before recognizing him as Xiao Song (from Building C of Yichen Community, where Bai Shuang had treated his leg).
According to Xiaosong, of all the people from Building C back then, he's the only one still alive.
Bai Shuang then asked him, "Do you know Wenwen?"
Xiaosong didn't know any of them, but there were only a few women, so he helped Baishuang look for them.
Upon seeing the woman, he asked, "What's your name?"
Bai Shuang found it funny; it wasn't like she didn't know Wen Ling.
But when he walked up to a woman and asked her name, she actually replied, "That's me."
Bai Shuang scrutinized her closely. "How could you be Wenwen?"
The woman turned her head. "Shuangshuang! Am I dreaming?"
As she spoke, she pinched her arm.
"Ouch, that hurts. It's not a dream, I really saw Shuangshuang."
Bai Shuang recognized him at this moment. It was Wenwen. Although she was so thin that she was unrecognizable, she could still be identified upon closer inspection.
"Wenwen, what happened to you?"
Wenwen: "The food on the ship was almost gone. In the last month, each person only got one bite to eat every day."
People were starving to death, and she watched as they were eaten by others.
Komatsu nodded as well.
Bai Shuang: "You've never eaten a human, have you?"
"No, I have the compressed biscuits you gave me. When the storm came, I secretly stuffed them into my clothes."
At first, when the base had food, people saved it and secretly hid it. Later, when the food reserves were running out, everyone received less and less food each day.
I couldn't resist anymore, so I secretly ate half a piece every day.
Shuangshuang, if it weren't for those few packs of compressed biscuits you gave me, I wouldn't have survived with my strength.
Indeed, many people starved to death back then.
Xiaosong, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement. "That's right."
Bai Shuang: "Where's your boyfriend?"
Wenwen was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Bai Shuang insisted on asking, she walked a little further inside and pulled out an old man with a hunched back and a skull-like face.
Yes, it's an old man. She wasn't mistaken. Why would Wenwen find an old man?
Even Bai Jiu and the other person were surprised, because they had both met Wenwen's ex-boyfriends.
Bai Shuang glanced at him, then looked away. "Where's your ex-boyfriend?"
Wenwen lowered her head. "It is him, Shuangshuang, he is my ex-boyfriend."
Bai Shuang then carefully examined the 'old man,' trying hard to find any trace of the past on him...
"Bai Shuang, I am Ma Yinuo, we are classmates."
Wenwen's boyfriend said with a smile.
Wenwen found her boyfriend after the disaster; by then, Baishuang had already left school.
Although I met him later, I didn't pay much attention to his name since it was none of my business.
As for Bai Shuang's classmates at school, they all knew Bai Shuang because she was the school beauty and the daughter of a famous doctor. She often helped her classmates with their medical problems.
But Bai Shuang didn't know many of them.
So I have no recollection of Ma Yinuo.
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now."
Wenwen: "It's okay. In his current state, even his mother wouldn't recognize him, let alone you."
