Chapter 217: Calories and other things make me cry
After the orphanage was bought, it underwent a thorough renovation. The small building where Xie Jiang, the director's mother, and Xu Chen lived was replaced with new furniture and kept very clean.
The entire orphanage is about 3,500 square meters, with one main building, three auxiliary buildings, and a playground of more than 800 square meters.
This was a large courtyard house in the early years.
During the generation of the previous owner's grandfather, there was a huge quarrel between brothers, and the house was burned down, so they had to rebuild it.
The three auxiliary buildings are only three stories high. After they were built, they were used to house the workers in the workshop, and the previous owner's family lived in the villa.
Later, their family's business was targeted, the workshop was burned down by a fire, and more than 20 workers died.
His parents were also injured in the fire, so the former owner gave up the idea of continuing the business and lived on the rent.
If Jiang Xue Nian hadn't designed to make the other party addicted to gambling, this yard would not have been sold.
Even if it is a haunted house, the land is still valuable.
It is close to Pushan and even closer to Ningcheng First Courtyard. There are countless people who want to buy the land, but the previous owner has been unwilling to give in.
Jiang Shuo was able to successfully buy the entire yard, and he can only say thank you to Jiang Xue Nian.
Xie Jiang took Wen Yunxi and the others to sit in the living room of the villa for a while, and then they worked together to move the dining table to the yard.
The director's mother planted many climbing roses in the yard. After the orphanage was taken back by the landlord, Jiang Xue Nian did not have time to find someone to take care of these roses, and now they are still climbing on the high walls.
The wall is covered with pink, red, white and purple roses, blooming in full bloom.
When the wind blows, the faint fragrance of flowers floats in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
After setting the dining table, everyone lit a few plates of mosquito coils and placed them in the grass, then took a chair and sat down to chat.
Xie Jiang likes this lively atmosphere and the vibrant courtyard very much.
Her villa in the end times was also very big, with an extra-large yard, but unfortunately she couldn't grow any flowers, and it was all bare.
The buildings on the ground of the villa were not habitable at first. When the extreme cold came, the temperature could reach -70 degrees Celsius, and when it was extremely hot, it could reach around 60 degrees Celsius.
Humans cannot survive, and neither can animals and plants that have not mutated.
Later, with the advancement of technology, special materials were used to build a temperature-controlled protective cover outside the villa, so that people could live in the villa.
Unfortunately, special materials are hard to come by, and most of the survivors in the base who don’t have special abilities can only live underground.
The fully intelligent greenhouses they use to grow food are also underground.
Xie Jiang stopped reminiscing, took a bunch of Sunshine Roses and started eating them comfortably.
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and she wants to try all the mooncake flavors on the market.
Just thinking about calories makes me cry.
Mooncakes in the last days are too expensive, the flavors are too simple, and the types of food are even fewer than in the days of food shortages, so there is no way to make anything fancy.
A group of people were chatting and eating watermelon in the yard when suddenly an angry shout came from outside. "What's wrong with the volunteers? I just went in to take a picture, not to steal anything. We've been busy all day, and taking a picture won't kill anyone."
Xie Jiang frowned and stood up with a cold face.
The villa where the director's mother lives is fenced off separately to ensure a certain degree of privacy, so that the orphanage staff will not barge in without permission.
Zhou Yunyu and Ling Yuncheng also stood up with gloomy faces.
Tang Yue took Li Mu, who was out of the situation, and stood up together with Gu Ruyi, Fan Yingxu, Wen Yunxi and Song Zhizhi to follow.
"Inside is the director's home. The scope of our volunteer service includes the children's classrooms, playgrounds, rehabilitation training rooms and dormitories." The girl's voice was sweet and sticky, and it sounded like she was adding fuel to the fire.
Xie Jiang was about to leave when a boy's clear and bright voice reached his ears. "What's wrong with you guys? We have half an hour to gather and leave, why haven't you packed up your tools yet?"
Does this voice sound familiar?
She took a step forward as if possessed by a ghost, but suddenly someone outside rushed in and pounced on the wall covered with roses like a gust of wind.
"I'm sorry..." Jin Yan rushed into the yard, but suddenly saw Xie Jiang and stopped in embarrassment.
How could Xie Jiang be in an orphanage!
"So it's you, the real young master of the Li family." Xie Jiang also recognized Jin Yan. The displeasure on his face faded, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "I heard from Yun Cheng that you are graduate students from Peking University who came here to participate in the competition."
The Li family's family recognition banquet caused quite a stir.
Jin Yan did not return to the Li family. After listening to Qu Huan and Lin Yunyi's gossip, Li's uncle and his wife respected Jin Yan's decision and the two families would interact as relatives from now on.
After his information was updated, there was indeed no content about returning to the Li family.
Li's second uncle, younger uncle Li Ruifeng, several senior executives of the company, and uncles from the Li family's side branches were taken away by the police. He also specifically reminded his biological parents not to interfere in this matter.
Uncle Li had no involvement in the private hospital business and was not aware of the exchange of interests involved. He only cooperated with the police and gave a statement.
"Yes, we are graduate students participating in the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Competition. The competition doesn't start for a few days, and we happened to be here because the volunteers were having an event." Jin Yan felt a little embarrassed by the look on his face. "Our service will end soon. I'm really sorry that you came in without permission and wanted to take pictures of the rose wall in the dean's house."
"Ayan, do you know each other?" Shen Xi, with a soft and sweet voice, walked into the yard slowly, and looked at Xie Jiang with eyes full of cold hatred.
She knew Xie Jiang.
That bitch Cui Nanlu met with Xie Jiang, and her father's affair with Sheng Ning was discovered, and he was taken away by the police for investigation.
My cousin Shen Xia was also taken away by the police. The Shen family lost face and was targeted by relevant departments. All this was thanks to Jiang.
Xie Jiang was extremely sensitive to danger. He sensed the hostility and hatred in the little girl and looked up casually.
There weren't many red-marked messages in the other party's information, and all the ones marked as fans were related to Jin Yan. Seeing this, she couldn't help but silently read his mind and excitedly watched the show.
[The average person in the entertainment industry is very cunning, and the children of wealthy families are even more so.]
[You can't tell Shen Xi is young, but her palace fighting tactics are like an old sow putting on a bra, one trick after another.]
[That girl named Hong Lin is very capable and has good professional skills, but she's a bit of a jerk and easily swayed.]
Shen Xi has a crush on Jin Yan and is afraid that he will be snatched away by the school beauty. She always tricks Hong Lin into being the first to humiliate the school beauty.
[She is the school beauty's best friend, but at the same time, she is secretly harming her. She is clearly an enemy friend.]
[Shen Xi wasn't even qualified to join the team for this competition. She deliberately gave the school beauty a link to search for information, causing her computer to be infected and deleting all competition information.]
【Tsk...】
Even though she loves Jin Yan to death, it didn't stop her from cultivating a large group of lickspittles, and her methods are even more sophisticated than Guan Qingshu's.
[After all, being from one of Beijing's most affluent families, manipulating people's hearts and feelings can easily backfire, and promising benefits is like hanging a carrot on a donkey's lips.]
【He is a wolf killer. 】
