The other orphans who were rescued and had no parents or relatives were all sent to orphanages. I heard that the teachers there would teach them reading, writing, and some life skills. After they finished learning, they no longer needed to rely on the orphanage's relief funds. The base would provide them with some jobs, allowing them to support themselves with dignity with their own hands.
Most of the children born after the apocalypse are illiterate, and adults have trouble surviving, so how can they care about education?
Li Haochen's grandson, Li Yuan, was only seven or eight years old this year. If it had been before the apocalypse, he would have been in elementary school. After being separated from Li Haochen, he was able to survive thanks to Qi Fang.
At the base before being rescued, Qi Fang would see Li Yuan's familiar face and be reminded of his deceased grandson. He had often protected Li Yuan at the original base, always sharing a portion of his own food with Li Yuan, even if he had little to eat. It was thanks to Qi Fang's help, and Li Yuan's own sensibleness, that he was able to hold on until Rosen arrived to rescue him.
After arriving at the base and recognizing each other, Li Haochen often took Li Yuan to visit Qi Fang. Li Yuan also formally recognized Qi Fang as his godfather. Qi Fang no longer had any descendants. If this happened before the end of the world, Li Yuan would have been responsible for smashing the pot after the other party's death.
Qi Fang was preparing for a nap in his room after finishing his meal. His body, which had been worn out during the apocalypse, was recovering bit by bit.
"Old Li? Why are you here? Yuanyuan, come here quickly and let your grandpa hug you." The wrinkles on Qi Fang's face were squeezed into a ball, and he touched Li Yuan's little face with a smile. After being raised in the base for so many days, his face began to gain weight.
"I'm just passing by. Yuanyuan wants to come and see his godfather." Li Haochen sat on the chair that came with the table. Qi Fang's room was similar to theirs, except that it was a double room with two beds facing each other. There was also a set of tables and chairs at the head of each bed. There was also an indoor bathroom. There were many rooms in the base, and they had been expanded several times. No one had been arranged to move in yet.
"Really, Yuanyuan? Do you miss grandpa?"
"Grandpa, this is the egg I secretly left for you." Li Yuan took out an egg from his pocket and handed it to Qi Fang.
Qi Fang felt as if his vision was blurred by some mist, and his heart felt warm. "Yuanyuan, eat. Grandpa won't eat. Grandpa has already eaten today."
The base distributes one egg every day to children under the age of eight, and they cannot provide more than that.
Li Haochen looked at this scene without getting jealous, "Lao Qi, just take it. This kid insisted on giving it to me yesterday, and when I refused, his golden beans fell off. Today, he secretly saved some for you."
Qi Fang picked up Li Yuan and sat him on the bed. "Yuanyuan, grandpa won't eat this. This is what the uncles and aunts at the base gave you. You have to eat it so you can grow taller quickly and protect grandpa Gan and your grandfather in the future, okay?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "Grandpa ate it, so Shen Grandpa has to eat it too. Yuanyuan will grow up well in the future." Children of seven or eight years old can already think for themselves, not to mention that they are children who have struggled in the doomsday and witnessed the evil side of human nature. It is inevitable that they will be stubborn in doing things.
"Okay, okay, grandpa has eaten it. Yuanyuan, you can't save it secretly like this anymore, okay? If you want to be filial to grandpa, you should earn it yourself when you grow up."
Qi Fang looked at Li Yuan's serious expression, which showed that he was not easy to fool, and thought that he had not protected this child in vain.
"Okay!" Li Yuan promised seriously.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Xiao Li is doing business?"
"Hello, Mr. Qi. Hey? Mr. Li is here too? That's great. It saves me from making an extra trip."
Li Banshi was transferred by Director Gao to be responsible for arranging accommodation for the rescued personnel, dealing with the difficulties in the lives of the base residents, and often dealing with these rescued people.
He and Li Haochen had the same last name, and out of sympathy for him having a grandson, they inevitably chatted a bit more. He kept calling him "old man," and when registering his information, he found out that he was born in 2020. Wow, the same year as his son, and he was already over 100 years old. No wonder he thought the name Haochen sounded familiar, as there were several of his son's kindergarten classmates named Haochen...
The technological discoveries in the other world are rapid, and the average life expectancy has reached 150.
If we talk about birthdates, we can say that those who came from our own world are actually the oldest. We have to call these people born in their 20s and 30s "old man".
Huaguo had already done enough research. The culture of this world was similar to theirs, making it a parallel world. Li Banshi wondered if he could invite his son over to chat with these people. Would they have something in common?
Qi Fang and Li Haochen looked worried, "Li, is there something wrong at the base?"
"Don't worry, you two. Nothing happened at the base. It's a good thing you're back. When I registered your information, it said you were engaged in scientific research before the apocalypse, right?"
"Yes, I study aerospace. Lao Li studies computers."
"Okay, take this card. When the time comes, report to the place indicated on it. The people there will tell you what to do."
After Li Shiban notified the two, he went to find the next person on the registration list, leaving Qi Fang and Li Haochen confused.
The next day, the two followed the address and walked to a classroom. It was similar to a pre-apocalyptic university classroom. However, the equipment looked very old and used projection technology. When the two entered, the classroom was already filled with three or four people, and five or six more people followed.
Perhaps it was a temperament shaped by the apocalypse, but everyone was extremely cautious, scrutinizing the people and surroundings. Most people huddled together, speaking only to those they knew well. Qi Fang and Li Haochen sat in the back row.
