Chapter 1319 Surviving in the last days of natural disasters (End of this article)

In the next N years, a group of Xu Yin's children made the orphanage their home. Together they cherished and cared for the yard that had saved them, raised them, and now passed through their hands to build a better life bit by bit. At the same time, they responded to the call of Central City. , wearing the stars and the moon to cultivate fertile fields.

 With the joint efforts of friends, and with the help of Xu Yin's "Floating Light and Rain" skill from time to time, the dry fields and barren mountains are once again covered with greenery and full of vitality.

 The valleys, gullies and springs are gurgling.

Mountain fires cannot be ignited even if they want to be ignited.

　　Until the natural disaster was completely over, the children grew up and went their separate ways to pursue their ideals, and Xu Yin took over the orphanage.

She heard the long-lost system tone:

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for turning around the fate of cannon fodder in this world. Extra mission rewards are being distributed. Click to go to the next mission world...]

Xu Yin slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, it was a turnaround, it was not easy!

But I don’t have time to check at the moment.

 The dean's body suffered from severe physical deficits in his early years, and his heart has never been in good condition.

 Xu Yin only found out after she moved back to the orphanage that the director was also a child abandoned by his parents because he had an incurable congenital heart disease. Perhaps I had been caught in the rain before, so I wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

Xu Yin has been using Linghu water to recuperate her over the years, but she finally reached the end of her strength.

When he was dying, the dean held Xu Yin's hand and said lovingly: "My child, I am very relieved that the orphanage is in your hands... In these years, you, Xiaojin, Dongdong, Xixi, Nannan, Beibei...I am very happy and satisfied with you children by my side. You must be the angels that God gives back to me! I must continue to love each other!"

 After saying that, she closed her eyes with a smile.

 The children gathered around the hospital bed burst into tears.

Xu Yin couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and her palms felt warm. It was the handkerchief Ning Jin had given her.

This guy…

 …

 In this life, she has never left this city.

She was still a child before the natural disaster. After the natural disaster ended and humanity restarted, she was already the person in charge of a children's welfare home, with hundreds of homeless children on her shoulders. She couldn't do what she did in the previous small world - anytime, anywhere. Take a trip wherever you want.

 The children Xu Dong and Xu Xi were recruited into the army when they reached adulthood.

Although Xu Xi is a girl, her self-defense skills in the past few years have not been in vain. At the age of eighteen, she is heroic and can knock down three grown men at once. She is a well-deserved leader among the female recruits.

 Some of the other children applied for jobs in various industries that were in urgent need of recovery and development, and some stayed in the welfare home to assist Xu Yin. Everyone divides the work and cooperates. Some work as teachers to take the children to study and play, and some are responsible for logistics and taking charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Ning Jin originally wanted to stay, but before she graduated from school, she was chosen by a higher education institution because she scored perfect marks in every exam in mathematics, physics and chemistry. She was exempted from the exam and entered the school. After studying systematically for five or six years, she became the youngest Spacecraft designer.

Xu Yin and he got married on the third anniversary of the death of the dean. The two bought a piece of land behind the orphanage, above the bunker, and built an antique courtyard as their wedding room.

After getting married, although the two of them got together less and separated more, their relationship became more and more profound as they grew older. They often video chatted each other doing their own things, chatting from time to time, and did not hang up until they got busy with something serious.

Ning Jin’s colleagues always tease him about being a wife slave, but he doesn’t mind at all. On the contrary, he is proud of it: “My wife is willing to make a video call to work with me, can you do it?”

Colleagues: “…” Sorry to bother you!

Not long after Xu Yin took over the welfare home, she applied for a piece of land for breeding, dug a pond to raise fish and geese, and the income from the operation was used for the expenses of the welfare home. There were no sources of donations other than government subsidies, so the children did not have to worry about food and clothing.

They also found an opportunity for a child to accidentally discover the existence of an underground planting field while playing hide-and-seek. From then on, the orphanage also had a stable source of food, vegetables and fruits.

Having food, vegetables and extra money, I successively upgraded the old buildings in Sanheyuan:

First, the main building facing north and south was expanded, with two floors and a fourth floor plus an attic, which is still used as a dormitory;

 The kitchen and utility room on the east side were demolished and rebuilt, and a spacious and bright canteen was added;

The west side used to be public toilets and open space. Nowadays, there are toilets in the teaching buildings and dormitories. There is no need for open-air public toilets. A three-story wood and stone antique building connected to the corridor of the main building was built on this land. It is used for Classrooms and multi-functional activity rooms, such as music classrooms, art classrooms, labor and technology classrooms and computer rooms;

The open space enclosed by the Sanheyuan is quite large. There is a plastic track, with a basketball court and a mini football field in the middle. A row of fitness equipment is installed near the entrance of the cellar.

 Children live, study, and work in the welfare home, and are taught and entertained. Whether it is spiritual happiness or learning and working ability, they are no less than those of their peers outside.

Xu Yin taught the children to endure hardship and stand hard work, and also taught them to enjoy the beauty of life.

Every child who leaves Ci En Welfare Home misses this place.

 Children who join the society, no matter where they are, whenever they mention their hometown, they think of the orphanage and their fulfilling and happy childhood, which makes their peers envious:

"Is that correct? What you described is really an orphanage? A place where orphans live? Why does it sound so much happier than when I was a child?"

"Haha! It's true! If you don't believe it, I will take you to see it when I have time. Our Ci'en Welfare Home is really good. Maybe you won't want to come back."

　　　…”

real or fake?

So, in the early autumn of this year, children working outside called me one after another, saying that they wanted to take their colleagues (friends) back to their hometown to visit during the holidays. The friends who had not seen each other for a long time also took this opportunity to get together. Of course Xu Yin welcomes it.

 At that time, she was already five years old, but the years did not leave many marks on her face.

　　She neatly packed up a row of guest rooms with her children and took advantage of the sunshine to dry a row of quilts on the balcony.

On the terrace climbed up from the attic, she and her children dried the fungus, mushrooms, dried shrimps, and dried fish that she and her children had picked.

Every year before winter comes, she will dry a lot of vegetables, smoke a few strips of pork belly, and stuff a batch of sausages. It not only enriches the children's food, but also prepares a return gift for the children who come back to visit their "parental family" every Spring Festival after work.

On this day, the children who had gone out brought their friends and colleagues back in their cars.

As soon as we got off the highway, someone leaned out of the car window and took a deep breath: "Wow! The air here is so fresh! The sky here is also very clean, unlike our hometown, which is foggy all day long."

Xu Ming said proudly: "That's right! Our place is famous for its beautiful scenery. When you come to my hometown, you will know what blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green waters mean. I was still young when the natural disaster ended, but I clearly remember, Our area was among the first to be designated as a protection base by the state. Experts went to test it, but could not find out the reason. They only knew that the water and soil quality there was particularly good. Now, except for our welfare home, the surrounding land has become a national planting base. .”

 “Then aren’t you very happy?”

“I always said that I was happy when I was a child, but you don’t believe me.”

　　　…”

 Everyone still feels that the happiness Xu Ming mentioned is not the same concept as the happiness they know.

Although the mountains and rivers are happy, the childhood of the welfare home is good to eat and warm, can it really be linked to happiness?

Until they arrived at the orphanage, they saw a three-story courtyard consisting of a four-and-a-half-story main building and two-story auxiliary buildings, with white walls, black tiles, red wooden columns, red flowers, green grass, and a blue pool. Is this really an orphanage? Instead of a park surrounded by green plants, singing birds, fragrant flowers, and clear ponds?

"Haha! Are you dumbfounded? I knew you would be dumbfounded! When we were young, we used to play football and play games on the playground. We would eat and have parties in the east annex building. We would have classes in the west annex building. After school at three o'clock in the afternoon, we would go to the breeding farm next to it. Or work in the underground planting field for one hour, cleaning the goose house, picking up goose droppings, and feeding the fish. The underground planting field has our own baogan field. When I was a child, I loved to eat tomatoes. All the tomatoes in the baogan field are tomatoes. When they are ripe, Eat one, and the dean’s mother jokingly calls me ‘Tomato Knight’…”

Xu Ming’s colleagues were confused: “Underground planting site? Can we still plant underground?”

"Haha! Haven't you seen it? But you should have heard that during the years of natural disasters, the base grew food and vegetables underground. Our dean even planted vegetables for the base when he was a child."

While introducing, Xu Ming took them around, from the dormitory where he slept when he was a child, to the classroom where he attended classes, from the breeding base next to it to the underground planting field, and also took them to see the drying platform dedicated to drying various New Year products...

The mouths of these colleagues have never been closed, and Xu Ming is really worried that their jaws will be dislocated.

“Now do you believe that I was very happy when I was a child? I really miss the carefree and happy days at that time!”

His colleagues looked at him with envy. Not only were they envious that he had such a rich childhood, they were also envious that he still had a fixed bed and a place to stay whenever he came back.

 “Xu Ming.”

"What?"

　　"Your little expression of wanting to be beaten makes us want to beat you up!"

 “Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing?”

"Hahaha-"

Xu Yin leaned on the railing in front of the office door, looking at the group of young children in their early twenties playing and playing downstairs with a smile. Scenes of her and Ning Jin, Xu Dong, and Xu Xigou's scenes in the end of the natural disaster flashed through her mind. As the years pass, it’s great to be young!

The phone rang, it was Ning Jin calling the video.

“Dongdong retired due to injury, and Xixi also transferred jobs. They have half a month of vacation during the Chinese New Year this year. I plan to take the time off at that time. Where do you want to go? Let’s go together.”

“I heard that Central City has been converted into an underground museum and hot spring hotel. How many days will we go there together?”

Ning Jin chuckled: "Underground hotel? You can go to the bunker anytime you want. Haven't you had enough?"

 “That’s different.”

 “Okay, you can go if you want.”

There seemed to be a lot of people over there. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yin clearly heard a burst of laughter. Some people seemed to be teasing him for being a wife slave who responded to every request.

“They are all a bunch of guys who say the grapes are sour.” Ning Jin chuckled, “Let’s ignore them.”

Xu Yin pursed her lips in joy, raised her head, and saw a group of south migrating geese flying in front of her eyes.

 The picture is frozen at this moment, the years are quiet, and you and I are safe.
