Chapter 349 Infrastructure Makes People Happy
"The base commander's wife is amazing. It is said that every three days, she brings five wood-type sorcerers to create a forest at a designated location in the base."

"This forest will become everyone's logging site from now on."

"We no longer have to go to the cold and remote lakeside to cut down trees, which greatly improves safety. We can cut firewood right here at the base, and everyone is very happy."

When the eldest and second sons spoke of their wives, their eyes were filled with reverence.

Lu Zhilan also looked happy, "That's great, life at the base will only get better and better from now on."

"I'll go to the trading building this afternoon to buy two thick quilts and some coal. Then even if a strong cold wave hits, we won't be afraid at home."

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, and the atmosphere at home suddenly improved a lot.

***
Xin Nian doesn't have many work tasks.

Since the base got on track and every department was operating normally, she happily became a hands-off manager without any psychological burden.

It's like an emperor choosing which department to visit each day; then you can happily go home after get off work...

Daily working hours shall not exceed two hours.

The rest of the time, Xin Nian works as a supervisor on the farm. Today she watches Xiao Chi and Xiao Zhuo work together to build a large sinkhole, and tomorrow she goes to the training ground in the back mountain to watch the team members train hard.

They were living a very comfortable life.

After a year of infrastructure development, the base has seen a gradual increase in its population.

The total number of people in the base has now exceeded 100,000. After the construction of the above-ground houses has begun to show results, the people in the underground city have begun to move upwards in batches.

It is estimated that we will be able to begin the reconstruction and rebuilding of the underground city soon.

The entire underground city needs to be reinforced and its layered architecture redesigned.

In this way, if they encounter unavoidable dangers such as natural fires again, they will have a safe place to stay.

Having nothing to do today, Xin Laoliu slipped away to take a look at the newly built medical station at the base.

Those tumor patients have been left to their own devices for too long, and I've been too lazy to check on their progress. It's rare that Lao Liu has suddenly become so kind today.

A large pot of braised mutton was brought over as a token of appreciation to all the medical staff at the clinic…

Seeing this, Doctor Zhuang and the others shouted for someone to bring out the bowls and chopsticks, and while they were grabbing the chopsticks, they whispered to Xin Nian.

"The special medicine you gave us is very effective. When the patients were undergoing their fifth course of treatment, we added a little of this medicine to their medication. Among the 105 patients, two with mild symptoms have shown improvement, and the tumors on their bodies and faces are beginning to gradually disappear."

"Yes, yes, we are still experimenting with the dosage to determine the most effective drug. We believe we should have results within five days."

Another doctor chimed in, “Yes, Sixth Miss, that special medicine is incredibly effective. And the dosage required is minimal. Just a small dose can dramatically change the original medicine.”

Xin Nian nodded and took out a handful of special medicine from her pocket.

It seems they didn't pull out any life-saving medicine, but rather some cheap cabbage.

This startled Doctor Zhuang and the others, who quickly reached out and accepted it with both hands.

In fact, Xin Nian hadn't been supervising the farm for nothing these days. Although she was a useless, hands-off manager, she had at least done a lot of work while supervising.

For example, he took out all sorts of special medicines he had stockpiled, studied them carefully, and even imitated them in many ways.

These weren't the original products given to Dr. Zhuang; they were actually failed experiments she felt had gone wrong in imitating them...

Even so, the effect is already quite good.

Moreover, Xin Laoliu has benefited from her many failures, and now she has actually produced quite a few genuine and effective medicines.

Of course, these special drugs are not miracle cures; many require further research in conjunction with the current virus.

However, a drug targeting the virus in tumor patients has been successfully developed, and it is believed that it can be completely eliminated soon. A large pot of braised mutton was quickly emptied. Xin Nian looked around and realized that Physician Cheng and his son were not there.

"Where are Cheng Xu and his father?"

"Oh." Doctor Zhuang curled his lip, looking disgusted. "He's hiding upstairs and hasn't dared to come down and show himself."

"What are you hiding from?"

"That Lady Furong from the family of the man who hid from Qian."

When the matter was brought up, everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

“That Lady Furong is quite domineering. In the past half month, she has been coming to see Doctor Cheng every now and then, insisting that she was engaged to him in the capital.”

"Yes, yes, this woman is very clingy. She keeps nagging at Madam Cheng, and she's really gotten the Cheng family tired of her."

"What Lord Qian, Lady Furong?" Xin Nian asked, her face full of surprise. "Why hasn't anyone mentioned this to me?"

"It's that late Prefect of Jingzhao, Lord Qian. The Qian family followed His Majesty and Consort Qian into the base, and they are now all settled in the Happiness Fence area on North Street."

"This Lady Furong is the daughter of the Qian family."

Xin Nian said "Oh" and raised her eyebrows.

Having not heard about the Emperor and Consort Qian for a long time, when he suddenly heard Doctor Zhuang and the others mention it, Lao Liu had a flash of inspiration and remembered the gossip that the Crown Prince had once told him.

She looked at him with curiosity, "Is it that Mrs. Qian who got divorced and went home, wanting to take Mr. Cheng as her son-in-law?"

"Yes, you've heard of it too?"

"I heard that because Young Master Cheng refused her, Consort Qian whispered in the emperor's ear about it, and the entire Cheng family was exiled."

"That's right!" Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and chimed in, expressing their indignation on behalf of Physician Cheng's family.

"I don't know who Young Master Cheng offended. He's already inside the base, and he still manages to run into that persistent woman."

Xin Nian's eyes sparkled, "Why wasn't such a big thing reported?"

"At first, Dr. Cheng said it was a minor matter that he could handle himself. But that woman was like a fly, constantly bothering him."

Xin Nian clicked her tongue twice, "She has too little work to do, that's why she has the energy to do these boring things."

Who feeds and clothes these prisoners? How can they think of anything else when they are well-fed and clothed?
"Go and call Cheng Xu down." This coward, forced to hide by being a prisoner, is simply ridiculous.

Several doctors ran upstairs with smiles on their faces to find Young Master Cheng.

Just then, Qian Furong walked in carrying a vegetable basket, greeting everyone with a smile, appearing to be very friendly with everyone.

Everyone looked at her with strange expressions, but Qian Furong wasn't embarrassed at all. She smiled and said, "Is my Cheng Xu still busy today?"

"Him..." Qian Furong stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, staring at Xin Nian sitting at the long table in the hall as if she had seen a ghost.

"Sixth, Sixth Miss?"

Her voice trembled, and her legs shook slightly. She never expected that she would be so unlucky as to run into this evil star today.

"Sixth Miss." Cheng Xu rushed down the stairs, his eyes filled with excitement as if he had seen a brother.

Xin Nian glanced at him and rolled her eyes. "Look at you, so pathetic. You can't even get yourself into this state by a prisoner."

Those dark circles under his eyes made him look like he hadn't slept for days.

Dr. Zhuang chuckled, "Dr. Cheng has been researching a six-stage medication regimen for tumor patients these days."
