In the 49th year of the new calendar, on a certain day in February.
Although the Spring Festival has passed, the northern part of the Kuronuma Wilderness does not feel like winter is coming to an end at all, with white snow covering the ground, and at a glance, the whole world is cold and vast.
"This is much more shocking than the snowy scenery we saw in Wild Grass City." Long Yue blushed and approached the car window, looking outside, and sighed sincerely.
At the same time, on the right hand side of the driver Shang Jianyao, the small speaker with a black face on a blue background was playing a song:
"Snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is blowing
"The world is vast......" (Note 1)
"Can't you put on some festive music? It's not long after the New Year." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, muttered, "The song you sang at the year-end report performance is very good."
Shang Jianyao sighed seriously:
"When you are outside, you are still immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and it is easy to make omissions.
"Although we are just a field training, we have to take it seriously and not be too relaxed, so it will not play a role in exercise."
In order to find the last Buddhist holy place, go to the ice field to explore the city where Shang Jianyao's father disappeared, and lock in the true location of the Eighth Research Institute, Jiang Baimian specially organized such a field training, so that the team members who were so excited about the New Year would not be able to enter the state when they officially went out to carry out their missions.
Moreover, she also specially chose the northern part of the Kuronuma Wilderness, where the climate is close to the edge of the ice field, so that the team members could adapt to the hardships of the ice and snow in advance.
In this way, when the ice field encounters extreme weather, the "old tune team" will not be at a loss and panicked.
Originally, Jiang Baimian wanted to do this a few years ago, but considering that Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had not been married for a long time, it was too inappropriate to forcibly organize field training, so he waited until the New Year before officially applying and reporting to Minister Xiyu.
"Hey, what you said, are you the team leader, or am I the team leader?" Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao.
She immediately told Long Yuehong:
"Wait to get out of the car, don't look at the snowy scene for too long, or put on sunglasses in advance.
"I remember telling you what snow blindness is before."
"Okay." Long Yuehong has always been able to hear people's words, so she took out her black sunglasses and put them on the bridge of her nose.
Bai Chen, who still had short hair, looked at the passenger seat:
"Are you looking for a place to rest?"
Now this area is not only without shops in front of the village, but also without large stones and conspicuous trees.
"Yes, it's almost time, we have to eat." Jiang Baimian explained, "In such a climate and such an environment, we must ensure that the body has sufficient energy and can afford to deal with accidents and risks."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Shang Jianyao clapped his hands by clapping his horn.
Before Jiang Baimian could respond, the jeep slid to the side along the road covered with a layer of snow, making a stabbing sound.
Fortunately, there were no other cars here, no ravines and obstacles, and the jeep finally stopped steadily.
"Be careful." Jiang Baimian did not blame Shang Jianyao for being distracted to shoot the horn, because even if he didn't shoot, he still had to slip.
Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Haven't we changed to anti-slip tires?"
Since there is snow survival in the wilderness training plan, they will definitely not forget to bring anti-skid tires and change them in advance.
"Anti-skid tires are not everything." Shang Jianyao laughed, "Just like you are at home, it is impossible for Xiaobai to say what he says, there is no variable."
Long Yuehong was speechless for a while, it should not be, it should not be.
"We are all rightful to listen to whom." Bai Chen helped to relieve the siege.
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong nodded quickly.
And often it is Xiaobai who makes sense...... Jiang Baimian laughed secretly to prevent Shang Jianyao from continuing to provoke other people's feelings.
She pointed to the snow in front of her side and said:
"Just stop there, set up a stove, heat some cans, and serve some cookies."
Shang Jianyao responded by raising his right hand to wipe his mouth.
The jeep quickly stopped, and several members of the "old tune team" were busy according to the division of labor:
Long Yuehong checks the condition of the solar charging panel on the roof; Shang Jianyao moved out the induction cooker and the canned food and biscuits he wanted to eat; Bai Chen used instruments to measure the degree of pollution around him; Jiang Baimian is responsible for vigilance.
"I didn't collect much solar energy." Long Yuehong was the first to make a sound.
He immediately sighed:
"I can't replenish the Jeep with enough power, so I can only use high-performance batteries to cook.
"If this continues, our energy will run out sooner or later, and we have to plan the return time in advance to avoid running out of electricity and the car is still in the snow."
Jiang Baimian smiled when he heard this:
"That's one of the difficulties of going to the ice field.
"We were fortunate to be in the summer, but after going deep into the ice field, we may also encounter extreme weather in the summer.
"Don't think it's cold now, it's even colder that high-performance batteries can be used or not."
Long Yuehong nodded slowly:
"That's why we need such a training session to help us adapt to all aspects of the situation."
"Wait for a snowball fight?" Shang Jianyao ruined the atmosphere of the discussion with great interest.
Long Yuehong shook her head:
"Don't fight."
This guy has a snowball fight!
Shang Jianyao sighed regretfully:
"Do I want to wait for you and Xiaobai to have a child, and when the child grows up, I will play with him?"
Can't you let Xiaohong and her family go? Jiang Baimian scolded.
However, compared to Shang Jianyao's loss in not being able to have a snowball fight, she was more concerned and more curious about another question:
Xiaobai and Xiaohong have been married for a few months, why haven't there been any movements yet?
Within "Pangu Biology", once you get married, it means you have to start preparing for pregnancy, and this is the case for every family, without exception.
Although some people have been married for more than a year before their wives become pregnant, this is a minority after all, and Long Yuehong and Bai Chen have undergone a detailed physical examination when they underwent genetic modification before, and there is no problem in that regard.
Jiang Baimian cares about it, but he also knows that there are things that others don't mention, and he must not ask.
No matter how good the relationship is, there must be a sense of boundaries.
She resisted her impulse and urged Shang Jianyao to cook:
"Hurry up!"
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao put his attention back on the induction cooker.
Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief.
During this time, his mother Gu Hong has mentioned the matter of "having more children and many grandchildren" twice, and the implication is self-evident.
He didn't want to go out into the field to train, and he had to endure the pressure of giving birth.
It didn't take long for the canned braised beef to be hot, and the fragrant smell filled the snow, causing Long Yuehong to swallow her saliva.
In addition to Jiang Baimian, the other three members of the "Old Tune Group" each squatted there with a lunch box and ate it.
After nibbling on a biscuit covered in juice, Long Yuehong narrowed her eyes with satisfaction:
"I was tired of it before, but I haven't eaten it in the past few months, but I found it to be quite delicious."
Shang Jianyao sneered:
"If you eat it for another ten days and a half, you will cry out that you feel sick when you see canned food."
"Aren't you too?" Long Yuehong retorted.
Shang Jianyao nodded:
"Yes, yes."
A "punch" failed, and Long Yuehong could only put her focus back on eating.
When Shang Jianyao finished gobbling up and replaced him with Jiang Baimian, he and Bai Chen were still enjoying canned braised beef.
Jiang Baimian pretended to be casual and chatty while eating:
"Xiaobai, according to the company's regulations, newlyweds do not need to go out to work.
"Why don't you and Xiaohong keep making a report?"
Others didn't apply, and Minister Xiyu didn't take the initiative to give orders, so she didn't know how to arrange Long Yuehong and Bai Chen for a while, so she could only bring them with her.
Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:
"Newlyweds don't have to go out to work because they want to prepare for pregnancy with peace of mind and have children early.
"And Xiaohong and I don't want to have children so early, we plan to enjoy the world of the two of us for a few years first.
"This is a bit contrary to the company's policy of encouraging childbirth, but we have made so many contributions, we should be able to delay it for two or three years."
A two-person world? This is not like what you can say in a novice room...... Jiang Baimian frowned slightly, suspecting that Bai Chen did not want to leave the team, so he deliberately made such an excuse.
And it was copied directly from the old world entertainment materials!
Jiang Baimian then looked at Long Yuehong:
"You think so too?"
She remembered that Xiaohong liked children very much and hoped to switch to internal service with Xiaobai.
Long Yuehong nodded:
"Yes, what Xiaobai said is what I thought."
It's not scientific, but it's realistic...... Jiang Baimian forced a smile and said:
"This is not like you before."
"Of course not." It was not Long Yuehong who answered her, but Shang Jianyao, who was on guard not far away.
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"Because he and Xiaobai were both implanted by me with the mindset of not having children for the time being and not leaving the group."
"Huh?" Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looked surprised.
Their first reaction was to stop joking, but seeing Shang Jianyao's expression gradually becoming serious, their minds suddenly "buzzed" and they regained their original cognition.
They were indeed implanted with corresponding thinking by Shang Jianyao!
Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and asked in a deep voice:
"Didn't you say that you don't use your abilities on your teammates in business?"
Shang Jianyao nodded and said seriously:
"I have something to tell you."
