13. Chapter 13 Gender Ratio

Theoretically, in the case of natural birth, the number of female babies is slightly higher than that of male babies, but it is not obvious here in the apartment, at least from what Ding Chen observed, the gender ratio is very balanced among the last adults here, so the problem of the imbalance in the gender ratio of adults here in the apartment must be after these children become adults.

Hoss's words confirm this, although the apartment can rely on agriculture to solve the problem of food and clothing, but still maintain the necessary force to solve the unexpected situation. In this era of lack of medical care, injuries and illnesses are likely to lead directly to death, which is why there are few wishes for the elderly. Male members are more involved in outdoor activities in their daily lives, and of course they face more dangers and are more likely to die.

No one here has counted the average life expectancy of the population, but in Hoss's memory, there are very few people who have lived past the age of sixty. And most men don't live to be fifty years old, and it's not uncommon for people like Zhang Wei to die young, so people here can calmly accept the death of their companions.

In order to maintain the population, the leaders of the apartment have been encouraging childbearing in recent generations, in this case, it is not monogamous here, it is normal for a man to have several women, in fact, when a woman wants to have children, she will probably not pin her hopes on the same man.

This is not something to blame in an apartment, in fact the only requirement for these people is that the mother must know who the father of her child is.

After all, the social circle in the apartment is so big, and no one wants their children to grow up and accidentally push their own siblings or other worse things.

So there is a problem here, when the number of adult men is insufficient, the choice of marriage is very limited, so outsiders like Ding Chen are very popular, which is why the people in the apartment are highly vigilant against outsiders, but still have to take the initiative to accept them, because this is a means to maintain the number of people in the apartment, and it is also the basis for the apartment to be maintained.

Ding Chen vaguely understood what Huo Si meant, but still didn't understand, "Isn't pregnancy a very dangerous thing?" ”

Hoss glanced at him, "You already know Zhang Wei's results, do you think Dr. Li's medical skills are terrible?" He looked at Ding Chen, who was about to speak, and waved his hand, "Of course, we all know that his medical skills are terrible, but everyone is still willing to raise him, just because he is very responsible, for so many years, he has delivered more than a dozen children, and only one death." He always urges pregnant women to follow the instructions in the manual to raise their babies and exercise. Everyone wants to believe him. ”

"And here in the apartment, boys are supported by the apartment until the age of fourteen, and girls until the age of sixteen, but the fruits of their labor can be counted in the name of the mother. So even if there is no one here to urge them, women are willing to have children. ”

He looked at Ding Chen, "Although it's unfair to say this, for women, men are always very attentive, but children are usually very loyal." ”

"Very good system." Ding Chen commented: "It's just that I feel a lot of pressure. ”

Hoss laughed, "You're a cautious person. But don't worry, no one wants you to have children with every woman. Some people here still have a very traditional view of their partner. I'm just here to remind you that you don't have to be too careful in this regard. ”

He patted Ding Chen's shoulder, "By the way, your vision is good, but there are some problems with choosing a target." His gaze swept over the restaurant, "Ye Dai and Carlo are the best women here, but if you choose them, the probability of success is very low." ”

He looked at Ding Chen, "Ye Dai is very demanding of men, and Carlo ......" He pouted, "Daddy will kill you." ”

"Shouldn't he support the system he upholds?" Ding Chen asked puzzled.

Huo Siha laughed, and he looked at Ding Chen playfully, "That means you...... Of course, Daddy is only the leader here, and he is not a saint. Not to mention that we already know the fate of the saints. ”

Ding Chen frowned, "What is the fate of the saint?" ”

Hoss shook his head, looking like he didn't want to continue the conversation. He stood up and said to Ding Chen, "Don't sit here all the time, give the women a chance." ”

Ding Chen looked at him with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry to have a child yet." And I'm not used to this kind of thing. ”

"What is an ons?" Hoss asked.

Ding Chen looked at him, obviously without explanation. So Huo Si understood, made an expression to Ding Chen that a man understands, and then turned around and spread his hands to the crowd in the restaurant, expressing his helplessness and leaving.

Soon Carlo walked back, looked at Ding Chen and asked, "What did he say to you?" ”

"We're talking about saints." Ding Chen replied lightly, it was obvious that Carlo was not the gentle type, if he mentioned the matter of having a child to her face, I am afraid that he would be able to die without bothering his father.

After saying that, he commented: "He is very active. ”

"He's the next generation of leaders." Carlo said indifferently: "Many times, what my father and Uncle Li are not suitable for doing is done by him. After saying this, she asked curiously, "What is a saint?" What kind of "Buddha is the Way"? ”

Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, and said to her very sincerely: "I think you have crooked the skill tree." ”

Because there is no electricity in the apartment, the people here are used to the life of sunrise and sunset, so although today is a little different, after eating and drinking, some people still go back to their rooms very early to sleep, and the rest are mostly energetic young and middle-aged men and women with different ideas. After all, women usually become a little more attractive in the eyes of men who have drunk too much.

Ding Chen can guess the catty here, and feels that it is necessary to remind everyone about the problems of eugenics.

In the crowd, there were occasionally one or two gluttonous children running around, and the women who began to pack their things did not drive them away, and would call them over if they found any leftover good things, which seemed to be the children's repertoire.

Ding Chen saw that Carlo also left the bar and joined the women, apparently in addition to bookkeeping, Carlo was also in charge of the restaurant.

Soon the drunken men were rushed to and fro by the women who had cleaned up the battlefield, and at this time the drunken and hazy men were surprisingly good-tempered, and they were harassed by the women while laughing indistinctly, and occasionally someone let out a scream or two, and then there was laughter and half-truths and curses.

Ding Chen was not used to this ambiguous atmosphere, and was about to say goodbye to Carlo and go back to sleep, but his eyes swept over the crowd but he unexpectedly saw Dr. Li.

In order to get enough space, the chairs in the dining room have been moved to a room next door and piled up, and there is a door between the two rooms, which has now been opened and some chairs have been moved out. Dr. Lee was sitting on a chair by the door, holding his chin and staring blankly at the crowd in the middle of the room.

Ding Chen followed his gaze and didn't find any noteworthy people or things, only Zhu Yu and a few people were helping the women carry the table, but it seemed that they were trying to make a vacant space in the middle of the restaurant, and they didn't know what they were trying to do.

After thinking about it for a moment, Ding Chen walked through the crowd to Dr. Li's side. Dr. Li glanced up at him, not showing surprise, just nodding his head, which was a greeting.

"You know what?" He lowered his head and looked at the ground, "Your emergency response is very good, I would actually like to learn these techniques from you." He shook the glass with only a little cider left in his hand, "But you know what's going on." He said, "I screwed up." ”
