Chapter 1268 - 602: Time to Hire a Maternity Matron
"How long has it been?"
Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask.
Song Wen and Dong Yan also quickly looked at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I just found out in the past two days, but according to Dr. Yang’s judgment, it’s probably been over two months."
Ding Yan calculated the days and realized that Liang Yuan had been trapped on the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth for more than a month.
This means that when Liang Yuan left Yangshan, Yang Mei was already pregnant.
Ding Yan said, "Then don’t run around anymore. Stay at home and spend more time with Yang Mei."
Song Wen also couldn’t help but add, "Brother Liang, you’ve been running around a lot lately, and everyone misses you very much."
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but show a trace of guilt and said, "The Three Great Sects have already been wiped out, and apart from the remnants who escaped, there’s nothing else to do."
"Everything in Yangshan is on the right track now, I can indeed take a break for a while."
"Don’t worry, I’ll stay in Yangshan with you next."
The three women all smiled.
"What do you think would be a good name for Sister Mei’s child?" Song Wen couldn’t help but ask.
This question immediately sparked a lively discussion.
Dong Yan promptly said, "It depends on if it’s a boy or a girl. If it’s a boy, he should definitely be as formidable as Brother Liang, and his name should be powerful and imposing."
Song Wen giggled and said, "Can’t a girl’s name be powerful and imposing? Isn’t Sister Ding a woman? She’s very impressive."
Ding Yan chuckled and said, "What to name the child should still be up to Yang Mei and Liang Yuan."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "You can also help think of some names. Prepare a few, and we’ll choose when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, I’ll be in charge of thinking of boys’ names!" Dong Yan shouted immediately.
Song Wen shouted, "I’ll think of girls’ names."
Ding Yan chuckled and said, "In that case, I’ll come up with a nickname."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you come up with ideas, and Sister Mei and I will choose later."
After the meal, it was already late into the night.
Tonight, Liang Yuan didn’t go to anyone else’s room; he just stayed in Yang Mei’s room to rest.
The next day, at sunrise, Yang Mei’s long eyelashes fluttered as she woke up from her sleep.
Instinctively, she looked beside her and found herself enfolded in a strong arm, with a large hand resting on her ample chest.
Feeling the familiar presence, she paused and looked at the mutated sunflowers nearby, emanating a soft, warm glow.
The warmth of the bed contrasted starkly with the heavy snowfall outside the window.
Such weather is really suitable for a lazy morning.
Instinctively, she turned her head to look at the handsome Liang Yuan beside her.
She felt as if she were in a dream.
Instinctively, she nestled closer into his embrace, gently nuzzling against his chest.
Liang Yuan opened his eyes and, seeing Yang Mei’s rare display of girlish behavior, couldn’t help but laugh.
He kissed her smooth forehead and asked, "Awake already?"
Yang Mei smiled bashfully and said, "Feels like a dream. I can’t remember the last time I slept this peacefully."
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "What do you mean? Remember the first time I had you wear that lingerie? You passed out two or three times, couldn’t get out of bed the next day, and didn’t sleep well?"
"Oh, you’re so annoying!"
Yang Mei couldn’t help but nip at his chest, while she was thinking about warm moments, he just had to bring up such embarrassing things.
Liang Yuan laughed heartily.
Leaning against his strong chest and listening to his powerful heartbeat, Yang Mei felt a sense of security.
She softly said, "It just feels a bit unreal, being in your arms and no rainstorm outside—it’s almost like we’re back before the apocalypse."
"How nice it would have been if I had met you before the apocalypse?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "Isn’t now even better? Although it’s the apocalypse, we have enough food and clothes, and even our own foundation."
"If it were before the apocalypse, I’d still be burdened with a mortgage, and have no skills. How could I have lived well then?"
Yang Mei couldn’t help but say, "That’s because they didn’t understand you or see your goodness."
"Only when faced with true adversity can one see a person’s inner character."
Liang Yuan, crying and laughing, said, "In a mature social structure, there’s no opportunity for ordinary people to rise."
"You, stop overthinking. Cherishing the present, being together, is the best time, right?"
Yang Mei nodded vigorously and then lazily stretched, exposing a large expanse of fair skin.
She said, "I should get up and make breakfast, I’ve slept all night."
Liang Yuan quickly pulled her back, "Don’t get up, I’ll do it. Didn’t they say you need to rest in the first three months?"
Yang Mei hesitated, "Making breakfast should be fine, right?"
"Besides, I’m a superpower user, I’m not that fragile."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "For these three months, don’t busy yourself. I’ll ask around later to see if I can find someone who can cook to help out."
There are so many survivors at Yangshan, many of them women, and lots of them can cook.
Liang Yuan guessed that if he put the word out, many would be willing.
Yang Mei quickly said, "No, don’t make a big fuss about it. Even Tang Ying isn’t this pampered, she’s a medical student, and Dr. Yang is a TCM doctor, and they don’t rest in bed, so I shouldn’t be special either."
Liang Yuan merely smiled and said nothing, but he definitely planned to find someone to cook.
After they spent some more tender moments, Yang Mei suddenly caught a whiff of aroma.
"Huh, who’s making breakfast?"
Liang Yuan also caught a whiff and said, "I’ll go take a look."
"I’ll go with you."
Both got up, dressed, and went to the kitchen, just to see Ding Yan, Song Wen, and Dong Yan all busy there.
Liang Yuan showed a surprised expression and smiled, "How come you three have time to cook?"
Yang Mei quickly called out, "Oh dear, Ding Yan, Wenwen, Yanyan, you can leave it, just let me do it."
Ding Yan turned back and stopped Yang Mei, smiling, "Yang Mei, you’re pregnant now, you should rest more."
Song Wen also said, "Sister Mei, you always cooked for us before; now it’s our turn to cook for you."
Dong Yan giggled and said, "But our cooking isn’t as tasty as yours, Sister Mei, please don’t mind."
Yang Mei’s eyes turned slightly red with emotion, and she quickly said, "Why would I mind? You all, you make me want to cry."
Liang Yuan also couldn’t help but feel moved by the scene of their thoughtfulness.
He thought for a moment, then said, "You all are department heads in Yangshan now, and don’t have much time to help cook. I’ll find someone who can cook to help out."
Ding Yan said, "That’s indeed necessary. Later on, with Yang Mei pregnant, there’ll be many things she can’t do, and she’ll need to watch her diet too."
"We don’t know much; maybe ask if any resident has experience as a maternity nurse or knows about this."
Yang Mei quickly said, "No need for that trouble. Dr. Yang is a Chinese medicine practitioner; he knows about diet. I’ll just ask Dr. Yang and Tang Ying later."
This breakfast, though not as delicious as Yang Mei’s cooking.
Still made everyone feel heartwarmingly cozy, and Yang Mei found it especially delightful.
After breakfast, Ding Yan, Song Wen, and Dong Yan hurriedly went out to work.
Yesterday, Yangshan’s second conference just ended, there’s so much to arrange, naturally making them extremely busy.
Liang Yuan became the idle boss, staying home with Yang Mei.
But Yang Mei couldn’t sit still, always feeling restless with nothing to do, so she went to the office at the complex to check things out.
Liang Yuan did not stop her; a pregnant woman’s mood is important, but it’s better not to leave her idle, best to have something to engage in, preventing idle thoughts.
So he accompanied Yang Mei, personally sending her to the complex and replenished a lot of stock in the warehouse.
Especially some daily necessities, like sanitary pads, which had long run out.
Whereas oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar no longer need Liang Yuan to exchange.
Because with successful soybean cultivation, various soy products can now be self-made.
Like bean curd skin, dried bean curd, tofu, soy milk, soybean paste, soy sauce, etc.
After restocking the warehouse goods, Liang Yuan checked his Points.
The accumulation of Points is still too slow; the population has increased, but the efficiency of causality transfer hasn’t improved.
Mainly because although he used the causality damage transfer skills on the slaughterhouse machines to gain a lot of Points.
But in places like Mirage Snake Space, Dark Abyss Mouth, etc., Floating Island slaughter operations haven’t had causality transfer machines arranged yet.
"I’ve already sent Wu Ying with causality transfer machines to the Dark Abyss Mouth; they should already be in use there."
"The Mirage Snake Space side should also be operational."
"In a few days, we’ll see the effect."
"Once the Miyuan Rainforest and Yellow Earth Divine Origin are fully taken over, and slaughterhouses are set up there, my Points accumulation speed will greatly increase."
"By the way, while I have time now, why not go to the weapon factory to add such causality damage transfer functions to the weapon designs."
Liang Yuan had this thought in mind, also considering that Cangfu Mountain, Mide Mountain, Denggong Mountain these hills, house quite a population.
The military’s Cangqiong Mountain has a large population residing too.
Seems it’s necessary to set up slaughterhouses there as well.
"Alas, with the layout expanding so much, Points are far from enough to cover expenses."
Liang Yuan slightly frowned, now daily ten thousand Points come in, but it’s a drop in the bucket.
One Genetic Species costs a Million Points.
In Yangshan, many people have special attributes, and several Floating Islands can’t get the corresponding Genetic Species, relying on self-system exchanges.
Of course, he definitely won’t help common people exchange.
But if old friends like Yang Shenmin and Tang Ying need the corresponding Genetic Species exchanged, he must consider it.
Moreover, with so many Floating Islands under his control, village-level power generating equipment is likely inadequate now.
Later, every Floating Island will need to rebuild power generating equipment, which all requires significant Points investment.
Fortunately, once all territories stabilize, a large population helps him amass Points.
Then his daily Points income might multiply several times.
If he could get the military to also use the slaughterhouse machines.
Having the military’s Celestial Abyss creature kills credited to his account, daily Million Points might even be possible.
"In future, all large-scale weapons produced by the R&D and munitions factory must be engraved with causality transfer runes."
"Also, this Celestial Abyss and Abyss, what exactly are they, must try to learn ahead."
"According to Zhang Yujiang, such Celestial Abyss pathways most easily appear above Floating Islands."
"Celestial Abyss pathway essentially forms from Floating Island sinking, passing through Thunderclouds, creating the channel."
"Just unsure if after Floating Island drifts away, the Celestial Abyss pathway remains unchanged or follows Island movements."
Liang Yuan’s emotions fluctuated, deciding to send more people from the Inspection Department nearby to investigate if any Celestial Abyss pathways appear.
Additionally, there are several matters Liang Yuan hasn’t had time to explore.
Months ago, Spirit Jade Island left Yangshan first, saying they would try their luck at Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, but never returned.
Liang Yuan even refined the Dark Abyss Mouth yet couldn’t find Spirit Jade Island; this has been troubling him with a sense of foreboding.
Next is his contact with the city forces outside Linjiang during the Dark Abyss Mouth trip, time to investigate beyond Linjiang City.
