Chapter 1317: Living in the days of natural disaster (45)
Xu Yinxin said: Of course you won’t know.
She spoke clearly and asked: "Uncle, why didn't you look for Xiaojin at that time? He had been waiting for his family to pick him up, and he was sent to our welfare home when he couldn't wait."
"Yes, yes!" Xu Dong and Xu Xi also said, "When he first came to the orphanage, he was so pitiful."
They meant that he was silent, sitting alone, looking very pitiful.
Ning Qixue thought that his nephew had suffered a lot in the traffickers' den and had been seriously injured. His eyes were red, and he looked at his nephew at a loss what to do:
"I, we didn't mean to look for you. After you disappeared, we searched for you seriously for more than a month. But then your aunt's parents were hospitalized in a car accident. We went to City S. Before we could go back, a natural disaster struck.
Well..."
Ning Qixue couldn't speak anymore. He lowered his head in shame and said, "Come to my uncle anytime if you have anything to do." He hurried back to the temporary bunk.
Xu Yin gently touched Ning Jin with her elbow: "It's actually not difficult to reject people, right?"
Ning Jin turned to look at her, her eyebrows relaxed: "Yeah."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then went to Professor Liu's place to see if there was any work scheduled for today.
Xu Dong and Xu Xi looked at each other: "The strange feeling is here again!"
Xiao Hu raised the rolled-up roster and patted Xu Dong's head gently: "What's so strange? They are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and have many common topics. Isn't it normal to have a good relationship?"
Xu Dong pulled Xu Xi over and said, "We are also childhood sweethearts. How come we are not as weird as them?"
"That's because you are stupid!" Xu Xi rolled her eyes at him.
Xu Dong: "...Why am I the one stupid? You are the one who is weird, okay?"
"..."
After the heavy rain, there was no visible difference in the soil and vegetation on the surface for the time being, but during the safety period, Professor Liu still asked everyone to wear protective clothing to work in the experimental fields.
The slightly injured citizens who moved from City S are still waiting for the bus to take them to Central City.
However, I heard that the central city is about to become uninhabitable, and the government plans to gradually restore power plants, water plants, natural gas supply stations and other livelihood enterprises on the ground, and restore the supply of water and electricity to some residences to ensure daily life.
When Xu Yin heard the news, she felt moved and asked Professor Liu during a break:
"Professor, can we apply to move back to the welfare home? The dean's mother is not in good health. She was assigned a Datongpu in Central City, which is not conducive to rest. Let her move to our apartment. She is not willing. If she can move
Just go back to the orphanage."
Professor Liu sincerely likes these children, especially Xu Yin. Not only is she very strong, but she is also very smart, especially in crop cultivation. She knows how to do anything and her growth rate is the fastest among all, even surpassing Xiao Hu. If
Several children are still in junior high school. He really wants to accept her as a closed disciple. If he can help, he will definitely help:
"Don't worry, the driver will come over soon. I'll ask him to send a message to Lao Hong and ask Lao Hong to find out the specific operating requirements."
Thanks to Professor Liu's coordination, Cien Welfare Home was successfully included in the first batch of lists to restore power, water and gas.
When Xu Dong and Xu Xi heard the news, they were crazy with joy:
"Can we go back to the orphanage? Really?"
"The dean's mother, Nannan, Beibei, they can all come back to live here? Ouch! That's great!"
On the other side, when the dean received the notice, he was also very excited, stroking his chest to prevent himself from fainting.
After six years, I can finally go home!
"A nest of gold and silver is not as good as a straw nest at home." It was only after six years of wandering outside like a rootless duckweed that I understood the meaning of this proverb.
Although the other children are not as excited as the director, after all, the older children need to study and learn skills, and are more suitable to live in the central city; the younger ones were only two or three years old when they left, and their impression of the orphanage has changed over the past few years.
It has long been blurred.
But everyone is happy to be able to live on the ground.
During the preparation period, Xu Yin's four children took time to go back to the orphanage to clean and tidy up the house. They repaired what needed to be repaired and reinforced what needed to be strengthened.
But there is one thing. Ning Jin told Xu Dong and Xu Xi'er: "Do you still remember our original oath? The bunker is a secret between the four of us. We will never tell the fifth person, including the dean."
"I know, I know." Xu Dong thought he was verbose, "Brother Ning, you are a boy, how come you act like a girl and have a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law?"
"What happened to the girl?" Xu Xi put her hands on her hips and glared at him, "Did the girl offend you?"
"..."
Can't afford to offend!
Xu Dong picked up Ning Jin and ran away: "Let's go pick up some dry firewood to build a new fence for the vegetable field."
After six years, the children have grown up and it is no longer possible to live in Datongbu or in a room for men and women as before. After Xu Yin and Xu Xi discussed it, they decided to use the stairs as a boundary and the rooms to the east of the stairs for girls to live in;
To the west of the stairs is the boys' dormitory.
She and Xu Xi shared a room, and Ning Jin and Xu Dong shared a room. They were divided into two small single rooms at the stairwell on the first floor. It was very convenient to enter and exit the stairwell.
It is up to the other children to decide which room they want to live in.
If there are not enough beds, make them on the floor.
On hot days, even if you turn on the air conditioner and lay on the floor, you won't feel cold.
The bunker is most likely to be discovered by the lighting system, because it needs to be exposed to the surface to collect light sources.
Fortunately, after she came to work on the ground, she secretly sowed a lot of high-temperature-resistant vegetation seeds, the most common ones being coconut trees, palms, and plantains.
Among them, some plantains grow the fastest. The higher the daytime temperature, the better they grow. It doesn't take long for them to take out their broad leaves and create a large area of dense shade. The nearby low-rise residences are almost surrounded by plantains.
There are a few lush palm trees and plantains popping up in the orphanage, which are not eye-catching at all.
The lighting system is hidden under these banana leaves. If there are some prickly flowers and plants around it, who will get in there?
Therefore, the dean and the children returned to the orphanage for many years without discovering that there was a huge castle with multiple functions hidden underground.
It's just that the temperature is too high during the day, and it's too hot even when I go out with an ice pack on my back, so I have to continue to follow a routine that reverses black and white.
Professor Liu obtained a batch of sunshade cloth for them and cut it into curtains to block the light, making the room look like dark night.
When the temperature drops at night, I can work in full swing under the illumination of solar street lights.
At first glance, life is no different from the life in the dungeon. There is also little opportunity to bask in the sun unscrupulously, but the children are happy every day because they are safe and free——
When sleeping, you don’t have to worry about the sudden fight between the couple in the corridor or the house next door, or the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law;
When you are working, if you want to sing a song, no one will object to you making a lot of noise. On the contrary, the children sing with you and me, and occasionally there will be a big chorus.
As for the issue of schooling, the base has been working hard to solve it. Soon, the ground schools will be restored one by one.
Before they recovered, Ning Jin and Xu Yin acted as little teachers. They made a blackboard and hung it in the activity room, and urged the children to study when they had time.
After the infectious disease in N city is under control, the residents who moved here will go home.
When the Xiang Nuan family left in the bus, they passed by the welfare home and saw the children who were going to work in the planting camp after the sun had set. Seeing their chattering and happy faces, there was a little envy in their eyes.
Xiang's mother, who was sitting next to her, said: "These are the children from Ci'en Welfare Home, right? They haven't found their parents or relatives yet? How pitiful!"
"..."
Xiang's mother said casually, then turned to scold her son in the back row: "Why have you been so restless recently? Your dad doesn't go to the assigned work. He lies in the room all day doing nothing. You're not happy when you go home.
That’s it.”
Xiang Yang said "Yeah" weakly, his mind was very confused.
He didn't know why he couldn't get enough energy. He always felt that life after rebirth shouldn't be like this.
His original plan was to start a vigorous career, instead of running around with his family just to survive like he is now...
