The unveiling ceremony began. Li Xue and Commander Chen walked to the temporary stage built in front of the base gate and gave passionate speeches.
The manuscript in Li Xue's hand was written by Qin Kai, who was not good at this. While reading the manuscript with great emotion, she sighed in her heart that Qin Kai was really a talent. He was good at both civil and military affairs. The manuscript was both sensational and inspiring, and the people who came to participate in the ceremony had red eyes but were full of hope.
Commander Chen was used to big occasions, and he could easily come up with the opening remarks of the unveiling ceremony. However, his style has always been simple and elegant, and he finished his speech in a few minutes.
Next, Commander Chen and Li Xue walked to the base gate.
On the base gate, a piece of red silk was hung in the air, covering the name of the base that had just been completed. Two long ribbons hung from both ends of the red silk, swaying in the wind.
The two looked at each other, reached out to grab the ribbons, and with a little force, the red silk fell down.
On the wall just above the base gate, several powerful golden characters "ZY Base" appeared in front of everyone.
Thunderous applause rang out at the scene.
Commander Chen put down the ribbon in his hand and said to Li Xue: "In the future, let's work together to promote ZY Base and shoulder its responsibilities again. Let all bases and survivors on this land take it as the center and be proud of it."
Li Xue nodded heavily: "I will definitely do my best."
On the night of the unveiling ceremony, the base held a grand party to celebrate the birth of the new base.
This was a grand event for all the people.
All the lights in the base were lit up, and the roadside was filled with ice sculptures made by the superpowers, shining brightly under the lights.
In the huge square of the new base, people sang and danced, and laughter and joy were connected.
Although there were no fancy clothes or delicacies, the joy on people's faces was stronger than ever. It had been several years since the end of the world, and this was the first time they had such a revelry.
However, in this time of national revelry, there were two men who were not happy at all, and even their legs were weak with nervousness.
Those two men were Guo Qing and Hu Zi, who were about to become fathers.
At this moment, they were waiting outside the delivery room of the hospital, anxiously waiting for news from the delivery room.
They didn't know if the two pregnant women were too excited, but they showed signs of going pregnant at the same time. The two hurriedly sent the two pregnant women to the hospital.
Li Xue and the others rushed over as soon as they got the news.
"What's wrong?" Li Xue asked worriedly.
When Hu Zi saw Li Xue, he seemed to have found his backbone. He pulled Li Xue and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know. I've been in for a while. Xiaoxue, is your sister-in-law okay?"
Li Xue noticed that Hu Zi's hands were shaking constantly, and comforted him, "Don't worry, she'll be fine." Looking at Guo Qing, who was also worried and anxious, he said, "They are both in good health. The mother and child will be safe."
After hearing this, Hu Zi did not feel much comfort and was still worried.
"I... I'm coming... Hu... Hu..." Qi Shishi ran over breathlessly. She went to the base to join in the fun, and just got the news and rushed over immediately.
Guo Qing stood up and strode towards Qi Shishi.
Qi Shishi stepped back in fear. Although Guo Qing was not as scary as before, Qi Shishi still had a deep psychological shadow on Guo Qing and was always a little afraid of him.
Guo Qing also knew that Qi Shishi was afraid of him. He would never scare her like this under normal circumstances, but the situation was special now and he didn't care whether he would scare her again.
He grabbed Qi Shishi's arm and dragged her to the delivery room.
Qi Shishi was almost scared to death, her face was pale and her lips were trembling.
Li Xue couldn't bear to watch it anymore and rushed forward to rescue Qi Shishi from Guo Qing's hands. "Okay, Guo Qing, relax a little, you scared Shishi."
Guo Qing let go of his hand: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It's just that Lin Miao is in there now, and I'm really worried."
Qi Shishi "escaped" from Guo Qing's hand and hid behind Li Xue, stammering: "I... I'll... go in now."
Hu Zi squeezed over and said to Qi Shishi: "Shishi, please, you must ensure the safety of Jian Hui and her son. If there is any accident..." Hu Zi gritted his teeth, "You must protect the adults."
Guo Qing also nodded continuously.
Li Xue looked at the two men who were so worried that they had lost their minds, and shook her head speechlessly: "If you are really worried, just follow us in."
The two men looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and then nodded with difficulty. They had thought about going in before. But the doctor stopped them when he saw how nervous they were. Just kidding, in their current state, were they going into the delivery room to cheer up the pregnant woman or to cause trouble for the medical staff?
They went into the disinfection room together, disinfected themselves, changed into sterile clothing, and went into the delivery room. Li Xue was relieved, so she followed them.
As soon as they entered the delivery room, they heard Lin Miao shouting at the top of her lungs, "Guo Qing, you bastard, I will never give birth to a child for you again, it hurts me to death, ah——"
Guo Qing's legs went limp when she heard the scream.
Li Xue grabbed him and twitched her lips: "Don't worry, just listen to her full-strength voice and you know she's fine."
But Hu Zi asked with a trembling voice: "Why didn't you hear Jian Hui's voice? Did she have an accident?" Various scenes of one body and two lives were playing in Hu Zi's mind. At this moment, Hu Zi was pale.
Li Xue looked at Hu Zi speechlessly: "You can better save your energy if you don't shout. Don't worry, it's almost okay."
She now regretted suggesting that the two of them follow to the delivery room. Will it cause trouble for the doctors later? Probably not. I hope so. When they
arrived at the door of the delivery room, a nurse opened the door and walked out, holding a tightly wrapped child with only a little red face exposed.
Seeing the people, he was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said to Hu Zi: "Congratulations, Minister Hu, Minister Jian gave birth to a big fat boy, weighing eight pounds." Then he said to the child in his hand: "Come, baby, let your dad hold him."
Hu Zi looked at the child who was said to be his son, and said stupidly: "Is this my son? My wife gave birth?"
The doctor smiled and nodded: "Yes, Minister Hu, you hold the child first. Minister Jian will be out soon."
Only then did Hu Zi take the child from the doctor with shaking hands and stiff movements.
