Chapter 81
Wang Yu and Ye's father and mother waited in the car from dusk till dawn, but the two did not come back. They realized belatedly where they had gone to fool around again.
"A son becomes independent of his mother when he grows up. Axun never stayed out overnight before." Mother Ye gritted her teeth, thinking that it was Qin Wei who led her son astray.
Ye's father was quite open-minded. Ye Xun had never given him any worries since he was a child. He never fell in love too early and never skipped classes. He had excellent grades and outstanding looks. The person he found was also of good condition.
The mayor of City S is his brother, so Ye Xun will not suffer any loss.
"It's normal for a couple to just live their own life after getting married. Otherwise, they would be with two old guys like us every day. You forgot, we were like this when we were young. They have a good relationship, and we as parents should be happy."
Everything Ye's father said made sense, and just a few words dispelled Ye's mother's dissatisfaction. She had seen the two of them being intimate several times during this period, but considering that there were others around, they did not dare to do anything out of line. It was really difficult for them.
After figuring it out, Ye's mother stopped thinking about it and focused on eating.
It must be said that this son-in-law is quite capable, especially in cooking. In comparison, the food cooked by Ye's father is still not as good. But she did not say much, fearing that the old man would get angry.
Ye Xun and Qin Wei arrived late after the three of them had finished their meal.
As soon as he entered the car, he was stared at by three pairs of eyes. He subconsciously touched himself with one hand and turned his head to look at himself in the car window.
After confirming that there were no arousing marks on his neck, he breathed a sigh of relief and put his hand down.
"Mom and Dad, we're back." Ye Xun raised his hand to greet them, then walked inside, trying to get away with it.
But things did not go as planned. He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by Ye's mother.
"Stop, I want to ask you something."
Oops, there's no escape.
Ye Xun turned around, not daring to look at Ye's mother, for fear that she would ask questions that he couldn't answer.
But no, it's just a very common question.
"Have you eaten yet?"
I was about to ask him a few difficult questions, but when I saw the evasive look on his face, I changed the question I was about to ask.
Ye Xun didn't expect this question, and was stunned for a moment. Qin Wei next to him answered him and helped him solve the problem: "Not yet, I've been busy with Uncle Chen all day, and I was just planning to make a bowl of noodles for Ah Xun. Uncle, aunt, and Xiaoyu, do you want some?"
Qin Wei's expression and tone were too serious, which made Ye's mother suspect that she had guessed wrong, and maybe something really happened.
She really wanted to try the noodles cooked by Qin Wei, but unfortunately she had just finished her meal and was used to eating until she was 80% full, so she had no place to put the noodles and could only refuse painfully.
"We've all eaten, so just cook for two. Your uncle and I are going to go out for a walk, so don't lock the car door."
The idea of coming to Province X to see the grasslands has existed for a long time. In the past, I was busy accompanying my father Ye to travel around the country for business. After the company started to improve, Ye Xun was born soon after. Unexpectedly, it was thanks to the end of the world that I was able to reach the plateau when I was in my sixties.
Ye Xun had always known his mother's yearning for Province X, so he didn't say anything to stop her. He handed two guns to the couple and told them to be careful.
"If you meet someone with bad intentions, just shoot him. I will handle it if anything goes wrong." At worst, I can give Chen Guoan some more medicine.
Ye's father and mother listened to his words, nodded at him, and walked out hand in hand.
Watching the two people walk away, Ye Xun turned around. Wang Yu, who was originally at the table, was gone. He was probably going to serve that little cat again.
He walked to the kitchen and saw Qin Wei heating up a pan with oil. There was a plate of chicken, two eggs, and some small vegetables beside him. He asked curiously, "What are you cooking? You have prepared so many ingredients."
Qin Wei tore the chicken into strips and put it in the pot. "Didn't you say that the chicken noodle soup at school was delicious? I looked at the recipe and made you a bowl. Try it."
Unexpectedly, a casual remark of his would be remembered until now. Ye Xun couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart. He stood on tiptoe and kissed Qin Wei on the cheek, making a "bo" sound when he left.
"You've done an excellent job, Master Qin. This is a reward for you." After saying that, he skipped to the living room and sat down. The kitchen was small, so he would not be in the way.
Hearing his clever way of calling, Qin Wei smiled and finished making the bowl of noodles.
Although the taste was nothing like that of school, Qin Wei's cooking was also very good, especially the soft-boiled eggs, which were fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Ye Xun drank up all the soup in the end.
Afraid that he would have indigestion, he quickly took three stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, chewed them up and swallowed them.
Qin Wei had already cleaned the dishes and walked over to him. He placed his right hand, palm up, in front of him and said, "Go check out the situation outside and digest your food while you're at it."
Arriving at the base in Province X, Ye Xun was full of curiosity as he had never seen the giant ship before. So he put his hand into the big hand in front of him and stood up with the help of the pulling force.
The RV was parked about one kilometer away from the giant ship. From here, Ye Xun could see the six huge monsters. The RV was not worth mentioning in front of them.
When I got closer, I found that it was even bigger. No wonder it could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Ye Xun reached out and touched the giant ship, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is where we are going to live in the future."
“I hope we can all be safe after this.”
Qin Wei put his arm around his shoulders, looked down into his eyes, and said sincerely, "Yes, we, your parents, and Wang Yu will all be safe."
"Yeah." Ye Xun nodded repeatedly.
As the workers became more familiar with shipbuilding technology, the seventh and eighth giant ships came into being at a rapid pace. However, when it came to building the ninth ship, new problems arose.
"What did you say? There are not enough materials to build the last giant ship?" When Chen Guoan heard the news, he stood up from his chair with disbelief on his face.
These materials have been calculated, and this situation should not occur, but man proposes, God disposes.
The person who reported to him was terrified and couldn't speak fluently. "Yes, it was because of the earthquake. Many decks were broken. The remaining materials can only build half the original size."
If the number is reduced by half, at least 20,000 people will not be able to board the ship.
Chen Guoan clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white and his nails dug into his flesh.
"Continue to build the ship as planned, and I'll take care of the rest."
The man had no choice but to say goodbye and go back to continue building the boat.
After everyone left, Chen Guoan contacted the top leaders of each base, and dozens of people filled the meeting seats.
He first explained the situation to the others, and then expressed his own opinion. "My family's quota on board is for my wife and daughter. I owe my wife a lot. I haven't been able to let her live a good life. She is still running around with me at this age. My daughter is young and is the hope of mankind. As for me, I am old, and the base will have younger and more outstanding leaders, so I will not take up this quota. What do you think?"
Everyone present understood what Chen Guoan meant. They are old, and even if they survive, they will only have a few years to live. It is better to leave the opportunity to the young people, as they are the hope.
After a moment of silence, everyone made their choice. Their choice was the same as Chen Guoan's, they chose to stay in the base.
But even so, it cannot solve the problem of insufficient boarding places.
At this point, we can only take one step at a time.
