"Beep - beep - beep - hello?" A familiar, hoarse voice came from the phone. Ye Han pressed the receiver tightly to her ear: "Hello, Xiaoting, it's me."
Bai Xiaoting on the other end of the phone raised her eyebrows: "You still know that there is a call? How long has it been, do you still think that I am your wife..."
"Isn't it okay? I don't have time. Look, I called you as soon as I had time!" Ye Han quickly explained.
"Okay, you don't need to explain to me, I don't want to hear it." Bai Xiaoting said firmly.
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. What do you want to hear?"
Bai Xiaoting was silent for a moment, gathering up her chaotic mood: "When can you come back?"
Ye Han smiled bitterly: "I don't know yet. If everything goes well, it will take two to three months."
"Can't it be sooner?"
"I do, but what I said doesn't count!"
Bai Xiaoting was silent again, not making any sound, so much so that Ye Han suspected that the phone was disconnected. He took the phone off and took a look and found that it was still connected: "Xiaoting, can you hear me?"
Bai Xiaoting raised her head and sighed silently: "Ye Han, I'm asking you formally now, give me an accurate message when you can come back."
Ye Han felt extremely troubled in his heart. He couldn't control this matter at all: "Xiaoting, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Bai Xiaoting hesitated for a moment: "Grandpa's health is getting worse and worse. He...he wants me to have a baby as soon as possible. He doesn't want to leave with regrets."
"So serious?" Ye Han was shocked, "Can't you control it?"
"It's under control." Bai Xiaoting's voice was very low, "But the doctor said that low-gravity medicine has just started, and he has never encountered my grandfather's situation. He said that low-gravity is not a panacea, and he is lucky to be able to persist for decades. Luck
No, if you're not lucky, you might not be able to survive for a few months."
"Where's hibernation? Where's the artificial heart?"
"I have considered replacing it with an artificial heart, which will last for up to three years."
"Xiaoting, what do you think?"
"You should make time to come back as soon as possible. If that doesn't work, I'll just apply for labor... I still have the seeds you left back then."
Ye Han was silent and couldn't tell what he was feeling: "What will grandpa do if you go back to Earth?" The moon has low gravity and is not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. If you want to reproduce normally, you must return to Earth.
"It's organized." Bai Xiaoting said.
As Professor Qin, it is very common for the state to arrange for someone to take care of him.
"Then you apply to return to Earth as soon as possible." Ye Han said, "When you are almost recovered, I will be able to go back."
Bai Xiaoting has been living on the moon for several years. She needs to readjust to standard gravity before returning to the earth. This process will take at least two or three months. If she is older or has physical problems, it is hard to say whether she can recover in half a year or even a year.
"Okay, I'll apply later." After discussing the matter of the child, Bai Xiaoting seemed to have let go of her worries, and she felt much more energetic.
The two talked for a few more words, and Bai Xiaoting took the initiative to end the call.
After putting down the phone, Ye Han felt confused and sat on the bed in a daze for a while. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Thinking of his responsibilities, Ye Han hurried to the headquarters with some evasion. Zhuang Bo and Wei Chengfei arrived earlier than Ye Han. Ye Han said hello and asked: "Commander, are there any problems ahead?"
"Same as the past few days, there is no movement at all. The ant colony in Morobeda is completely destroyed." Zhuang Bo said.
Wei Chengfei smiled and said: "It's good to be disabled, the more disabled the better!"
"So you're fine again today?" Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Bo smiled: "Why is everything okay? When I'm not on duty, I go to the cooking class. Today, New Year's Day, we are taking the lead in making dumplings!"
"Then what are you waiting for?" Wei Chengfei stood up immediately, "This project is not small, we have to hurry up."
"I see you're in a hurry. OK, let's leave now." Zhuang Bo also stood up.
There are so many people in the base and even more people in the fleet. The total number of people is not more than 10,000 but also 8,000. It is not easy to eat a dumpling meal for so many people. The entire base has to be busy for half an afternoon.
When Zhuang Bo rushed to the canteen with a group of officers, the cooking team had already prepared the noodles and fillings. The officers sat around in twos and threes and started making dumplings together.
In fact, there is no problem in just arranging soldiers to take charge. You can deal with it for any reason. However, it is our army's tradition for officers to take the lead. During holidays, no matter how high-minded leaders usually are, they will stoop down and lead by example.
Zhuang Bo asked while rolling out the dough: "Ye Han, I think you are not in the right mood. Is there something on your mind?"
"Yes, I noticed it too." Wei Chengfei said, "Why are you so absent-minded?"
Ye Han put down the dumplings he had just made and sighed: "A little housework."
"Talk about it, don't hold it back if you have something to say." Zhuang Bo said.
Ye Han selectively mentioned the child. After hearing this, Zhuang Bo slapped his hand on the table: "That's a good thing. Ye Han, you are now a grown man. You have been married for several years, so it's time to have a child."
Ye Han said with a bitter face: "The child must be born. Let my wife come back and recover for a while. Pregnancy will not be a problem. The difficult thing is what to do after the child is born."
"What should I do? Just take good care of it!" Zhuang Bo stared.
He is already in his sixties, and even as he gets older, he likes children. If he hears that any young man doesn't want children, even if he has nothing to do with him, he can't help but scold him.
"That's not what I meant." Ye Han quickly mentioned Professor Qin's situation, "The old man wants to see the child, but the child is so young that there is no way he can fly to the sky on a rocket, let alone inject hibernation. Besides, Beiyuezhou gravity
It's not a good thing for children if it's that low."
Since ancient times, human beings were born on the earth, grew up on the earth, and were eventually buried in the earth. The earth's environment is the most suitable environment for humans.
The physiology of low-gravity environments is still in its infancy, and the effects of long-term living in low-gravity environments are still unclear.
Human bone structure, muscle strength, and internal organ functions have all adapted to the earth's environment over thousands of years of evolution. Although Ye Han is not a medical professional, he can imagine that once a child is born on the moon and grows up on the moon, the low gravity will inevitably
Causes overall negative impact on growth.
For example, insufficient bone density, lack of muscle, or weakened internal organ function.
Ye Han sighed again: "The child can't go to the moon, and Mr. Qin's body can't return to the earth. Will he not be able to see the child after he is born? What I'm worried about now is that I don't have a child now. Mr. Qin did it without thinking about it. What if
The child is born and you can’t see him alive, and you still don’t know what will happen to him in the end!”
"Alas!" Zhuang Bo sighed, "How pitiful the hearts of the old people in the world are!"
