Stroll Around, Plant Problems

The Southwest base gradually returned to normal. Time flew and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed, Xing Feng and the others, who were away to reinforce the northwest still had not returned, Yun Che didn't say anything, but he got more and more worried in his heart. Spring Festival was approaching, but in Xing Feng's daily email, he didn't mention anything about returning home. Everyone in the family was worried sick, but no one mentioned it, afraid that they might disturb the others.

Another one who came to their house every day was Xiu Jie. At first, he only visited once every day, and then he came twice or three times every day. Later, he just came early in the morning and returned home after dinner. His anxiousness and worry were all over his face.

"Master. Why are you looking around every day? Xing Feng is a grown man. What can possibly happen to him?"

As their usual practice, Heiyu carried Yun Che on its back and went out. In the last couple of days, Yun Che became more and more worried, and after eating breakfast, he took Chenchen out for a walk. Heiyu always worried that he was now clumsy because of the pregnancy and feared that he might hurt its young master, so it volunteered to carry them on its back and walk slowly outside the community. They always strolled for a long time outside the community before returning.

"Who told you that I was worried about them? Haven't you heard that pregnant people need to exercise more so that they can give birth easily?"

Yun Che, who was holding Chenchen with one hand, said with a faint smile. He had grown proficient in telling lies.

"No one's going to believe your bullshit. You are such a lazy person. If it is not for Xing Feng, why would you run outside in this cold weather? And also, you do nothing at all and you simply strolled around. Give birth easily? You're just sitting on my back so what kind of exercise is this? Please don't think of me as stupid as you are, okay?"

Heiyu turned its head to look at him, speechless. Chenchen, who didn't understand what they were talking about, took out a Rubik's cube from his Space and start playing.

"Lazy? Well, I'm still better than you. You are just despicable."

Yun Che, who was seen through by Heiyu, was not agitated. He still felt lazy. It didn't mean anything to him whether it was cold outside or not. Just like he wasn't afraid of hot, he was not afraid of cold as well. Besides, before they left the house, his sister forced a thick down coat on him. If not for his special body, he would feel so hot that he would start sweating by now.

"I'm despicable? I am the most decent divine beast in the entire world. Do you think that I'm like you?"

If they were not still on its back, Heiyu would have already jumped up angrily. He was extremely well-behaved lately, and he hadn't even gone out to mess…No, he hadn't gone out to talk to people for a long time. He felt he was becoming a saint.

"Alright, alright, you are the most decent when you are arguing about such a thing, okay?"

"Fuck, master…"

"Captain Yun. You're taking Chenchen out for a walk again."

Heiyu's argument was interrupted before it could finish. Not far away, the old man at the gate greeted them, and Yun Che smiled and replied, "Well, I'm going out for a walk to get warm. Don't stand outside. Close the iron gate and go back inside to get warm.

All members of the squad and ordinary people of Chaoyang had been well-trained. No matter how cold it was, they stood at the gate as straight as a pine. From this point, Yun Che already admired Gu Mingxuan's ability to manage his subordinates.

"It's okay. We're used to it. Well, the captain is not here, so we should be more vigilant to guard our home."

The old man chatted with Yun Che while those young superfunction possessors were guarding the door. Seeing that they were going out, he also voluntarily went back to the gatehouse and pressed the button to open the gate, and the two heavy iron doors slowly opened.

"Haha – with you guys around, Xing Feng will not have to worry no matter how long he is away."

Yun Che smiled feebly, and Heiyu carried them out swaggering, "Everyone, thanks for your service. When Xing Feng returns, I will definitely ask him to reward you properly."

His words made the faces of those guards at the gate twitch uncontrollably. Though they had tried hard to concentrate on their duty, Heiyu had left them a huge psychological trauma, and they shivered when they heard its voice.

After leaving the community gate, Yun Che let Heiyu take them to the clothing factory. From afar, they heard the sound of cotton fluffers and the machines running. The clothing factory was rather simple, and the equipment was not advanced, but Yun Che had employed quite a lot ordinary people, and every day, they could produce a lot of quilts and cotton coats. Most of the products would be distributed to the people in the community, while a small quantity was exchanged with the Joy Squad, the Loser Squad or Mo Shaoyang. Though they said it was an exchange, in fact, the products were almost gifted to them. For the people he recognized, Yun Che was generous, but of course, they still roasted each other sometimes.

"Captain Yun!"

"Captain Yun!"

The clothing factory covered an area of a few hundred square meters and wasn't extremely large. Yun Che did not ride in with Heiyu, but jumped down and went in holding Chenchen's hand. Heiyu was also conscious and turned into a puppy and jumped onto his shoulders. Seeing them enter, the workers of the clothing factory raised their heads and greeted him. They were all ordinary people, and not the families of the internal staff of Chaoyang or Peak. They were recruited from the civilian section of the base. Apart from several men that were responsible for fluffing cotton and moving, all the other workers were women who lost their husbands in the doomsday, and had children and elders to take care of. Yun Che gave them 2.5 kilometers of rice each day, which not only enabled them to appease their hunger and support their families, but also allowed them to save some money, so everyone was grateful to him.

"Don't mind me. Just get on with your own business. I'll take a look around."

Yun Che smiled and waved his hand, leading Chenchen to continue walking inside. A few steps forward was the cotton fluffing area, and the number of cotton fluffed by each person every day would be recorded in a book on the wall behind them. Yun Che casually took off a few record books and looked at them, while Chenchen had curiously run over to see those people fluffing cotton.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Chenchen was sweet and cute. The man he queried was about thirty and he unknowingly smiled, "I'm fluffing cotton quilts. Are you Captain Yun's nephew Chencehn?"

"Yeah, my name is Yun Zichen, I'm three years old. So uncle, you make the little quilt that I cover myself with? Thank you, uncle, it is very warm!"

Chenchen was not afraid of strangers at all and he had already been engaged in a conversation with a worker. Heiyu, who was resting on his head, rolled its eyes in boredom. When it turned around, it found that the man fluffing cotton at the opposite kept peeking at them. And eventually, he left his work and walked towards them. He smiled and put Chenchen on the brand new cotton that was just fluffed, "Chenchen, you are so lovely. I heard Captain Yun adores you. If I have a cute kid like you, I will spoil him all I can."

The man also looked to be in his thirties. Compared to other people who looked pale and thin, he looked a lot better, though he was not as healthy as Yun Che.

"Chen Changsheng, what are you doing? How can you put a kid on the new cotton?"

Before Chenchen could reply, the man who spoke to Chenchen earlier also stopped his work and came over, clearly disapproving what he did. The man called Chen Changsheng suddenly shouted, "Yang Tianhua, are you serious? This factory belongs to this kid's uncle, and it may belong to him in the future. So what's wrong with him sitting on the cotton for a while? We can't let him stand, can we?"

Since he was born with a loud voice and he deliberately raised his voice, many people looked over, and Yun Che, who was checking the workers' logs, was no exception.

"You…"

"What's happening?"

Yang Tianhua was so angry that his face darkened, but before he could say anything, Yun Che had already put down the log and walked over. Chenchen also jumped down from the bed of fluffing cotton. Heiyu, who was lying on his head said leisurely, "What else can happen? Someone wants to please Chenchen, and please you. It's as simple as that."

"You…"

As soon as Heiyu spoke, Chen Changsheng was so scared that his face turned white. They all knew that Yun Che had a talking dog, but he never dreamed that this dog was so smart, exposing his wiles with a single sentence.

Yun Che took Chenchen's hand and glanced at Chen Changsheng with a poker face, and then he turned his head to look at Yang Tianhua, "Then what's wrong with you?"

He was not blind, and he could see who Heiyu was referring to.

"I…"

Yang Tianhua was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that he did not allow the little nephew of Captain Yun to sit on the cotton so as not to affect the quality of the quilt, could he?

Chenchen looked back and forth at them. He pulled Yun Che's hand to signal him to squat down. Then he leaned over and whispered in Yun Che's ear, "Uncle, you don't blame him. It was only because that uncle suddenly put me on the cotton that he got angry."

Although he was young, he was keen, so he was clear in his heard which men was the good guy.

"Okay. In the future, you can say this out loud."

Rubbing his little nephew's head, Yun Che stood up and said to the workshop manager who had just arrived, "Bring me the work logs of both of them."

"Okay"

The workshop manager didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly ran over to fetch their logs. Yun Che took the logs and looked at them, Yang Tianhua's daily work progress was steady, while Chen Changsheng's workload differed hugely day by day. The lowest amount was only five kilometers of cotton a day, which was less than the amount of two quilts, and the highest one was no more than 25 kilometers.

"What's wrong with this data? Don't you, as a workshop manager, ever read their logs?"

The gentle smile gradually disappeared from his face. Yun Che threw the opened log to the workshop manager. His eyes, which were normally gentle, suddenly turned intimidating. The workshop manager was so scared that he started trembling, "It's is not what you think. Captain Yun, please let me explain. Chen Changsheng was recommended by the head of a precinct of the base, so we are not in a right position to say anything. "

He was also an ordinary survivor of the base, and the only reason why he was appointed as a workshop manager was because he had experiences in managing workshops before the doomsday. Chen Changsheng had a powerful background, and he wouldn't dare to offend any official in this world.

"So you're telling me that my factory are turning into a home for nepotism?"

His eyes narrowed, and Yun Che's voice instantly lowered. He hired these people to work, not to mingle. Did they really think that they could just free ride to get the 2.5 kilometers of rice every day?

"I… I… He was recruited through official recruiting process."

The workshop manager was so anxious that he stammered, and in the end, he was only able to mutter one sentence. Seeing this situation, even an idiot knew what was going on. Chen Changsheng was dumbfounded for a long while, then he hurriedly went over and said in a trembling voice, "Cap, Captain Yun. I won't do this ever again in the future. Please give me another chance. I still have a large family to support. I really can't lose this job! I really can't."

He planned to flatter Captain Yun and his nephew in this rare visit of them and he thought maybe he would get the chance to be promoted to a workshop manager. Everyone knew that workshop manager could get 2.5 kilometers of meat and some living provisions every month in addition to the 2.5 kilometers of rice every day. He did not expect… That damn Yang Tianhua was the one to blame. If he could just shut his mouth, things would not have turned out like this.
