Chapter 184 Return to the End of the World 12
In the last days, there are really not so many requirements for marriage among the lower class people. If the two parties are attracted to each other, they will roll in the sheets and consider each other's temperaments. As long as their bodies and personalities are compatible, two or more people will go to the registration office to register, and with the red seal affixed, the marriage will be concluded.
There is nothing I can do after today. Sometimes when hormones start to kick in, everything goes haywire.
However, before the policy of reclaiming land outside the city came out, not many people were willing to start a family, and few women were willing to get pregnant.
The procedures for a single woman to apply for land are very complicated, especially for new immigrants to the Linfeng base. In order to avoid trouble, after confirming Lin Xing's physical integrity and flexibility, Chen Qian directly obtained the certificate with him.
After getting married, Lin Xing originally wanted to buy household items and winter supplies with Chen Qian. However, their team leader suddenly heard about his lover and insisted on going there in the snow. As one of the best marksmen in the team, he also went with them.
Of course, he also brought back a lot of supplies on this trip. The single men in the team knew that he was newly married, so they took the initiative to help him collect a lot of women's items.
After making sure that there were no extra mistresses in the house, Lin Xing felt even more refreshed. He went to the kitchen to make breakfast early in the morning.
Chen Qian woke up to the sound of a car engine. She grabbed a handful of hair, put on a thick cotton jacket and went out.
"Lin Xing, are there any guests at home?" The ground outside the door was covered with a layer of snow-white frost, and the cold air hitting her face made her wake up instantly.
The movement in the yard stopped for a moment, and then a tall and strong man with dark skin walked over with long legs behind Lin Xing: "This must be your sister-in-law, Lin Xing has made great contributions to the team this time, so the captain asked us to send his share along with the winter benefits so that you two can have a good new year."
Lin Xing quickly stepped forward and tightened Chen Qian's cotton coat. He then touched her hands tucked into her sleeves and found her fingertips were cold. He couldn't help but mutter, "It's so cold, why don't you put on a sweater?"
At the same time, he introduced her: "This is our team's captain Gao Lang, you can just call him Brother Gao."
This crooked and greasy look made Gao Lang's teeth slightly sour, but when he thought that this boy was his first love, it was normal for him to be a little innocent.
He forced a self-righteous smile on his cold face: "Yes, sister-in-law, just call me Brother Gao."
"Brother Gao, thank you for your hard work. Let's stay for lunch together." Chen Qian pushed the man who was blocking the wind and warmly invited him to stay.
She pursed her lips, a bit embarrassed on her face: "Last time when Lin Xing and I got married and moved to a new house, we didn't invite everyone to a party. Today is a coincidence, why don't we have a meal together? I don't have any delicious dishes prepared at home, just some home-cooked meals, please don't mind."
Gao Lang waved his hands repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, let's talk about it next time. Today, the brothers all have tasks to do. We are not here to deliver supplies to Lin Xing. There are several other places waiting for us to go."
Several people working in the yard also echoed this and said they would come over and get together again next time.
After unloading the goods, the group drove to the next store.
While Chen Qian was changing clothes, Lin Xing moved all the goods piled in the yard into the house. When Chen Qian came out, she saw her young husband squatting in the open space in the yard, studying a half-skinned animal.
"What is this?"
"I caught a goat on the way back." Lin Xing looked a little proud. "It's the team's rule that half of the prey you catch must be handed in."
Chen Qian lost interest immediately. She couldn't stand the smell of mutton since she was a child. The pungent smell was so strong that it was almost overwhelming. And as long as it was real mutton, no matter how it was cooked, fried, roasted or stewed, she could tell the smell with just one taste. Before the apocalypse, whenever she went out to eat, her family would let her taste it first when they ordered mutton. If she didn't touch the chopsticks, it must be real mutton.
Her former friends would jokingly call her the "mutton tester," and based on this, they concluded that the mutton noodles in the school cafeteria were made of synthetic meat.
"How about inviting Captain Shen and his team to dinner in a few days and making grilled lamb skewers?" Chen Qian suggested.
Lin Xing held up half a mutton and said, "That's fine, but Captain Shen hasn't come back yet."
"What?"
"The news Captain Shen received this time is true. After we left the Linfeng base, we headed straight to the research base in Qingcheng Mountain. There was also a group of survivors gathered there. Several hundred of them survived in the remote and dangerous terrain. However, the people inside rarely communicated with the outside world, and the control was quite strict.
Captain Shen's lover is one of the leaders in Qingcheng Mountain, and he can't leave for the time being. Even if he wants to leave the research base, the two or three hundred people under him may not be willing to follow him to our base, so Captain Shen stayed there to accompany his lover. "
Before the end of the world, there was a virus research institute in Qingcheng Mountain. Half of the mountain was hollowed out and built with reinforced concrete. The claws of mutant animals found it difficult to break through the solid walls. In addition, the research institute was rarely visited by people. After clearing out the mutant staff inside, it became a rare refuge for the survivors.
After contacting the outside world this time, some people were attracted by the benefits of the base mentioned by Shen Qing and wanted to go down the mountain to have a look. Others firmly believed that the foot of the mountain was a hell on earth, and Shen Qing and the others were making up lies to lure everyone down the mountain.
The two teams argued endlessly, and Shen Qing had no choice but to stay there. The rest of the team members went back to the base to report the news to the top management of the base and asked the base to send someone to connect with the people from the research institute.
Lin Xing missed his new wife, and was also worried that wild wolves from outside would take over the house while he was away, so he was among the first group to return. As for subsequent matters, they were the business of the higher-ups at the base, so he didn't need to worry about them.
In addition to fresh meat, the supplies sent by the team also included some bottled rapeseed oil, sesame oil, and peanuts. Chen Qian's eyebrows jumped, because vegetable oil is a rare and popular commodity these days.
The most eye-catching thing was a large red quilt embroidered with a pattern of gills playing in the water, which was stuffed in by some logistics staff. Although the quilt cover had a stale smell, it looked very festive.
Lin Xing also laughed as he looked at the quilt. This was something the team members had found in the countryside where they were staying. He had hunted two wild rabbits to get this quilt.
After looking through the supplies, the sun had already risen to the middle of the sky. Chen Qian rubbed her rumbling stomach and then remembered the breakfast that had already cooled on the stove.
