Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Sister-in-law, did your sister-in-law bother you?"

Shen Yao heard someone knocking on the door. When the door opened, a slightly plump middle-aged woman standing outside claimed to be the wife of a moneylender.

"It's sister-in-law, come in quickly," Shen Yao smiled and made way for her, then led her to the living room, "Don't bother me, I'm fine too, I'm just planning to tidy up the things at home, but the house looks a bit messy, please don't mind, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Qian's surname is also Qian, and her name is Qian Yue. She and Qian Zhuang are indeed a couple, and they both seem to be very eloquent and capable.

"You've only been here for a few days, so there's no need to rush to mess up the room. You can wait until the cold season to clean it up." After all, you can't go out during the cold season, and you can't stay at home unless you find something to do.

"I bought a lot of cloth last year, and every day I'm busy making and washing clothes. It's busier than the mild season," said Mrs. Qian, who has three children, several elders and younger brothers and sisters. It's a lively family with more than a dozen people living together.

Shen Yao wasn't sure of Mrs. Qian's intention in coming here, but she could not help thinking of it as a way to get close to her, after all, the pillar of her family had just left home.

"Well, I came here just to ask you, sister, if you have nothing to do, let's go outside the city to pick some wild vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, etc."

Mrs. Qian was afraid that Shen Yao would not believe it, so she showed the pictures stored in the watch. "It is only a mile away from the slums. There are many people going there on weekdays. The output is not much, but it is definitely enough for the family to have three meals a day."

It is not a staple food but just a side dish. If you are frugal, you can save some and dry it.

Every time there was a new member joining the Qian family mercenary team, Mrs. Qian would come over to build relationships and find out about the new member’s background and temperament.

Shen Yao always knows how to act and act appropriately whether chatting online or meeting offline, which makes Mrs. Qian very satisfied. She is a friend with whom she can have further communication.

Mrs. Qian had a nice idea in her mind, and Shen Yao had no reason to refuse.

He smiled and nodded to indicate that he had plenty of time in the afternoon and going out would be just what she wanted.

After getting the OK, Mrs. Qian chatted for a while longer, then stood up and left, making an excuse to do something.

But you can't spend too long in someone else's home. Everyone's time is precious.

…………

In the afternoon, the sun was hanging overhead. Shen Yao was wearing a straw hat and holding a fat baby in her arms. As soon as she arrived at the gathering point, she saw Mrs. Qian, who was pulling a woman and talking to her with an unhappy look on her face.

Shen Yao wisely didn't go over, but stood there teasing Manman in her arms, until Mrs. Qian smiled and waved to her.

"sister in law"

"Brothers and sisters"

There was no emotion on Mrs. Qian's face anymore, only her brightly smiling eyes.

"Sister-in-law is here a little early, why don't you wait a little longer at home?" They had agreed to meet around two o'clock, and it was not yet half past one.

"There's nothing going on at home, and besides, Manman likes going out."

Shen Yao used the daughter in her arms as an excuse without any guilt, but Zuo You Manman was still an ignorant child who could only smile foolishly no matter what she said.

Mrs. Qian pretended to glance at Manman and gently touched Manman's elastic arm, "Your child is really well raised." Compared with other families in the mercenary team, the difference is simply heaven and earth.

Even Qian Dasao's own three children, at the same age, could not guarantee that they would be as fat as the fat girl in front of her. Raising a fat baby at this time shows how much the couple has paid in private.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao lowered her head and smiled shyly, saying that the child was easy to take care of.

"It's good to bring it or not" was just a polite remark, and Mrs. Qian didn't really say anything about it. The two of them continued the conversation on other topics. Until more and more people came, Mrs. Qian took Shen Yao to help introduce them, and waited for everyone to gather and went out of the city to collect.

"Are your family new here? Where are you from?" The restless young wife ran over and whispered to inquire about the situation of Shen Yao's family.

"Come from Base 102, just west. Just follow the main road. It took our family of three quite some effort to get here."

Shen Yao spoke softly, and even the base was made up at random. Anyway, there were countless bases in this world, and they didn't leave any relevant handles on the surface, so they could say whatever they wanted.

As expected, my young wife didn’t know about Base 102, but bases with three-digit numbers like this are basically small or medium-sized bases.

Turning around and putting the matter behind her, the young wife asked about Shen Yao's family's life at Base 102. She didn't really want to hear anything, she was just curious about the gossip.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao said a few words casually, they were all the same, either collecting or scavenging.

But after a few decades, all the wasteland has been picked up, and there are no modern "antiques" buried waiting for them to get a bargain.

"Well, who says it's not? Nowadays we go out mainly to collect things. The last time we went scavenging was under a unified order from the base to go to a town." Their family of five worked hard, and in the end they harvested two basins covered with rust, with a usability rate of almost zero.

"By the way, my name is Su Wen. My husband and my brother are both on duty in the mercenary team."

Su Wen's parents passed away early, and she and her younger brother grew up relying on each other. Later, Su Wen married her current husband and brought her younger brother to live with her.

"My name is Shen Yao, and this is my daughter Manman," Shen Yao reached out and patted her daughter who was moving around in her arms. Manman showed a cute smile the next second, showing that she was a child who was used to acting like a spoiled child.

Su Wen's eyes immediately widened. She had been married for three years and still had no child. She was planning to have one, and now the cute little boy was wandering in front of her. Su Wen immediately asked if she could hug him.

Shen Yao: ...Is there such a request?

After making sure that Su Wen had no ill intentions, the two chatted about a lot of things along the way. Shen Yao even asked indirectly about how to communicate with the outside world.

Smilingly he handed over the bag full of things in his arms, and Shen Yao continued on her way with empty hands.

Su Wen: ...

Su Wen was so frightened that she was in a panic. The little cutie in her arms was so soft and chubby that she didn't even dare to use any strength.

But the child's biological mother advised her not to be nervous, saying that children are strong and nothing would happen to them easily.

"You trust me too much," although I was happy, I felt a little amused.

Shen Yao looked relaxed. She and the system were both there, so she was naturally not worried that Su Wen would do something bad secretly.

As the large group arrived at their destination, everyone began to disperse.

Su Wen and Shen Yao walked together. Manman went out for a walk and then returned to her mother's arms. She was babbling and pointing at the flowers and plants around her.

While coaxing the child, Shen Yao collected edible wild vegetables and fruits around her. Occasionally, when she came across unfamiliar plants, she would ask Su Wen for help and guidance.

The system was speechless, "Why don't you ask me?" Its detection ability is hundreds of times stronger than human power.

"Of course I'm taking this opportunity to build a good relationship so that I won't be without friends in the future," Shen Yao said frankly. She thought that she and Mrs. Qian had different statuses after all, so it would be better to be natural when getting along with Su Wen.

As time goes by, she still needs a few good friends with whom she can communicate normally, and Su Wen seems to be a suitable person at the moment.

The trip took more than two hours, and when we got back it was already five in the afternoon.

Manman had fallen asleep in Shen Yao's arms and did not react when he was put on the wooden bed.

Shen Yao tidied up her messy hair, carefully covered herself with the quilt, and remembered to close the door when she left.

Cheng Qi will come back tonight because he has an instant mission.

Wash the freshly picked wild vegetables and fruits and place them on a plate as an after-meal dessert.

Shen Yao took the rice she bought from the base, ground it carefully, rinsed it, and put it into the rice cooker to simmer. As for other dishes, she decided to make a meat dish.

He wielded the kitchen knife with great force and used all the unused utensils in the kitchen.

When Cheng Qi pushed open the door and came in carrying fresh meat, he was greeted by the fragrance that filled the room.

"The food is ready, go wash up and call Manman," Shen Yao looked up and greeted him, then continued to work on the task at hand that was almost finished.

Cheng Qi nodded, put the meat into the utility room and put it in the refrigerator, then ran to the washroom to do a simple cleanup.

The sound of splashing water was heard. Cheng Qi washed his face, then returned to the room and picked up Manman, who had just woken up and was lying on the bed chewing her fingers.

"Daddy, daddy"

Manman can already recognize people and call them. The child's tender and energetic voice softens Cheng Qi's hard heart.

Shen Yao brought out all the prepared meals and took out the child seat specially made for Manman, so that the family of three could finally sit together to eat.

“The resources outside Base 25 are much richer than those outside Base Dawn.

The place we went to today was only about 20 to 30 miles away from the base, and we easily hunted a few wild goats. It is said that there are herds of bison a little further away, which are new species that migrated to the base from far away. "

Cheng Qi's job today was to drive the car and transport the goods. Although the goat meat he was given was of average quality, the danger was greatly reduced.

Because he was not very familiar with the Qian family mercenary team, Qian Zhuang took into consideration that Cheng Qi had some concerns, so he would follow the mercenary team on missions in the next few days, but he would mainly be responsible for some logistical work, which was also to reassure Cheng Qi.

"I was chatting with the family members of the mercenary team today, and they mentioned that the base has a way to contact the outside world, and the charges vary depending on the distance.

The Dawn Base is at least a thousand miles away from Base 25. If we want to contact my parents, the points we will spend will be an astronomical amount. "

And this does not even take into account the possibility of failure. After all, the mutant world has a policy of base autonomy. Each base has its own communication watch. It is extremely difficult to contact people in other bases across regions.

Shen Yao has asked the system to secretly send news to the Cheng family and the Shen family at the Dawn Base, so there is no rush for this matter in the next few days. However, Cheng Qi doesn't know her methods, and he is probably still thinking about what to do.

Sure enough, as Shen Yao finished speaking, Cheng Qi replied that he had also found out a lot of information, including many ways to contact the outside world, but because the distance between the two sides was too far, Cheng Qi silently rejected them all.

Now Cheng Qi is considering the regular contact methods provided by the base, which is like opening a blind box. Whether the information can be received after it is sent depends entirely on fate.

Shen Yao:......

This is fine, at worst the system can tamper with it secretly.

The amount of food on the table was visibly reduced, and after the family of three had eaten and drunk their fill, they decided to take a rest and sleep.

There is always a sense of tension at Base No. 25 these days because the cold season is approaching.

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi harvested a little from the wild every day, bought a little from the exchange center, and took a little out from the space. Over time, they had a considerable amount of supplies at home.

At the Dawn Base, which is thousands of miles away from Base No. 25, the Cheng and Shen families are both nervous and relieved.

Although all the text messages received were anonymous, given that the source could not be traced in the entire base, it was very likely that they were sent by Shen Yao/Cheng Qi.

"As long as their family is safe and sound, I will be relieved."

Song Ling and Cheng Ma went out to collect the bamboo shoots, talking as they dug in the deserted bamboo forest.

"They are both smart people. They will be gone for two months. They will definitely be able to take care of themselves in the new place."

Mother Cheng plucked some bamboo leaves and threw them into the backpack, then turned to Song Ling and mentioned that the temperature this cold season was even lower than the previous two days, and the base's policies were also more perfunctory than the previous two years.

"That's what Old Cheng and his friends said. Old Cheng and the eldest brother quarreled all the time. They really never had time to discuss things properly."

Mother Cheng kept shaking her head and sighing, mainly because the situation at the base was getting worse and worse, which made her unconsciously regret why she didn't go with the second son's family in the first place. Now she was worried about the second son who was outside, and the eldest son who was trapped. She simply had no peace of mind.

Song Ling tactfully did not continue the conversation, but turned around and talked about what the people in Area B were busy with recently.

Mother Cheng's attention was diverted by Song Ling's words. After the two of them filled the backpacks they brought with them, they hurriedly picked them up and walked back.

After parting at the door, Song Ling waved to Cheng's mother with a smile, turned around and went back home, as if someone was chasing her, and hurriedly greeted Shen Jiancheng who was staying at home.

Ever since Li Jia gave birth to a child and the situation at the base deteriorated day by day, Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu would intentionally separate when they went out.

Only one person goes with the mercenary team on a hunt each time, and the rest stay at home.

Shen Jiancheng, wearing a thin shirt, was sorting out the thin bamboo strips that had been dried earlier for weaving.

Hearing Song Ling waving and calling him, he hurried over to ask what was the matter.

Song Ling rolled her eyes, "Is there nothing wrong? Can't I call you? How are the children at home?"

Li Jia is still working in the hospital and it is not time to get off work yet.

"I'm fine. I'm lying in bed sleeping," Shen Jiancheng grinned and scratched the back of his head.

"I just heard from my in-laws that this year's cold season, with the base not intervening, is even worse than last year."

Song Ling frowned and muttered to herself, "Otherwise they could run away."

"Staying in the base means waiting for death. Didn't you notice that all the houses in Area A are for sale?" He must want to recover some blood before leaving, otherwise he can't take the house with him, and it would be a loss to do nothing.

"How about setting off in the mild season next year? My daughter left two cars for us. Xiaoyu and I will take turns driving. If we pay attention on the road, we will definitely be able to reach the new base."

Shen Jiancheng had no hesitation when talking about leaving, which shows that his personality has changed a lot in the past two years.

"Don't worry about it for now. If we really want to leave, we have to discuss it with our in-laws." Not to mention the relationship between the two families, it would be unsafe for one family to go on the road.

Song Ling handed the backpack to Shen Jiancheng and ran out. "I'll go ask around and see what's going on. You can go back to the house and do your work."

Shen Jiancheng: ...
