When they turned around, Tao Zheng, Sang Zi and Xiao Liu also came to toast them.
"Captain, sister-in-law, cheers to you!" Xiaoliu had a bright smile on his face and spoke in an excited tone.
"Captain, sister-in-law!" Sangzi also raised his glass and smiled shyly.
Tao Zheng just raised his glass quietly and looked at Qi Mingyu with a complicated look in his eyes: "Captain, now that we are here, we will trouble you to take care of us from now on."
Qi Mingyu nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry. We have been brothers for so many years. I am very surprised and delighted to meet again."
The four men looked at each other, and the comradeship between them would never change.
"Come on, cheers!" Qi Mingyu raised his glass, clinked glasses with the three of them, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down his wine glass, Xiaoliu quietly said to Qi Mingyu: "Captain, don't forget what I said before."
Qi Mingyu smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
After the banquet, Zhou Shuwan asked curiously, "What did Xiaoliu say to you just now? He was so mysterious."
Qi Mingyu smiled and explained, "It's the same thing as last time. Xiaoliu wants to buy a villa with Tao Zheng and Mu Mu, one that's closer to our home."
Zhou Shuwan readily agreed: "It's more lively with more people, and it's better to have someone to look after you."
Thinking of something, she turned to look at Qi Mingyu and asked, "Where do General Zhao and the others live now? Are they in the civil servants' residential complex? The same complex as Xiao Xiao and Mingyue?"
Qi Mingyu nodded: "Yes, there are many houses over there, so it's easy to arrange."
General Zhao didn't need us to move. While they were having the banquet, General Zhao's personal soldiers helped move.
Nowadays, materials are precious, and actively helping others move is suspected of exploring their financial situation. Therefore, most people avoid it wisely.
When they got home, they told their families what happened at the banquet.
Zhong Tiyun sighed: "This General Zhao is really not simple, his style of action is full of caution."
Zhou Jianghai breathed a sigh of relief. "We were worried about some kind of conflict at home, and you two were the ones rushing to the front. It really made us worried. Now, I feel a little relieved."
The Zhou family shared the same concerns as everyone else at the base: were these 10,000-plus people suddenly accepted into the base united with them, or did they have other sinister intentions?
Will their peaceful life in the base be disrupted?
Therefore, from the moment the base opened its gates today, no one in the entire base felt calm.
"Now that General Zhao has become the base's sheriff, it all depends on the future."
Everyone else nodded.
For the next few days, the base was in a state of chaos.
After receiving more than 10,000 people, the shortage of staff was revealed in all aspects.
Not only was the hospital where Zhou Shuwan worked overcrowded, but the security team where Qi Mingyu worked was also extremely busy. Even Zhou Jianghai in the maintenance department was busy, burning more coal for heating.
Zhong Tiyun's side was fine, except that five new people from the base came to learn mushroom cultivation techniques.
When they saw that fungi, mutant potatoes and vegetables were all growing lushly in several planting areas, they all showed expressions of surprise, and then they couldn't stop envying them.
"No wonder everyone at this base looks so healthy," said a new student. "They have fish and mushrooms for protein, vegetables for vitamins, and potatoes as their staple food. That's a pretty rich diet for a post-apocalyptic world."
Another student echoed, "Yeah, we were at the Capital Base before, and the food wasn't this rich, let alone vegetables."
These five people already have some experience in planting, so they were selected to study here.
After seeing the thriving scene in the base, they became more determined to study hard and strive to master the planting techniques as soon as possible so that more people can eat fresh vegetables and staple foods in the future.
Late at night, Zhong Tiyun finished a busy day and returned home, rubbing her aching shoulders. She was delighted by the new students' enthusiasm for mushroom cultivation, especially one middle-aged woman named Li Min'ai, who showed an unusual passion and dedication to mushroom cultivation.
During the day in the planting area, Li Min'ai kept asking about various details and carefully recorded every step Zhou Shuwan explained, her eyes full of curiosity.
Then I learned that he used to work at the Capital Base Agricultural Research Institute, specializing in mushroom cultivation.
Zhong Tiyun's eyes lit up immediately. This was such a pleasant surprise!
"That's great! Sister Li, we can collaborate further to research new mushroom cultivation methods and increase yield and nutritional value."
Li Min'ai also became excited, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "That's exactly what I was thinking! The J City base already has a very good foundation in mushroom cultivation. If we study it carefully, we will definitely be able to cultivate new types of mushrooms that are more suitable for the apocalyptic environment."
The two of them became more and more interested in each other as they talked, and they talked about almost everything from mushroom varieties to cultivation methods to nutritional value.
So I got back a little late at night.
On the other hand, Qi Mingyu was also busy with Xiaoliu's house-buying plan.
The house-buying plan that Xiaoliu mentioned at the last banquet has been lingering in his mind.
He knew that Xiaoliu, Sangzi and Tao Zheng had always dreamed of owning a home of their own, but the high housing prices discouraged them.
Qi Mingyu took advantage of his position to look up information about villas for sale near the base and screened out several suitable properties.
He sorted out the information and invited Xiaoliu, Sangzi and Tao Zheng to his house to discuss it.
"These villas are not far from Shu Wan's home, and the environment is also good. Take a look and see if there is any you like." Qi Mingyu handed the information to the three people.
Xiaoliu and the other two took the information and looked through it carefully, their faces lit with excitement. The pictures and descriptions of the villas made them very excited, especially one villa with a small garden, which Xiaoliu couldn't let go of.
"This one! I like this one!" Xiaoliu said excitedly, pointing to the villa with a garden.
Sang Zi also agreed: "This apartment is really good. It's close to Shu Wan's home, so it will be convenient for us to visit in the future."
Tao Zheng looked at the price of the villa and frowned slightly: "The price is a bit high..."
Xiaoliu's smile froze. Yes, the price was ridiculously high! The three of them simply couldn't afford it.
Seeing the three people's lost expressions, Zhou Shuwan said: "Don't worry about the money. We can think of a solution together. I can lend you some supplies."
Xiaoliu and the other two looked at Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu in surprise, their eyes full of gratitude.
"Don't look at us like that," Qi Mingyu smiled, "Just consider this as an early housewarming gift for you."
Having said that!
"But, this...how can I feel so embarrassed..." Xiaoliu felt a little embarrassed.
"We are all brothers, don't be polite." Qi Mingyu patted Xiaoliu's shoulder.
"Then Captain, we will definitely pay you back double." Sangzi nodded vigorously.
