Chapter 209: Reconstruction
At around 8 p.m., it suddenly became colder, and snowflakes began to fall in the wind.
Xu Ran took a taxi back to the orphanage, and felt very warm when he entered the house.
Grandma Yalin poured a cup of hot water for Xu Ran to drink to drive away the cold.
Xu Ran drank hot water, and saw that there was still a charcoal fire burning in the fireplace in Grandma Yalin's house, and there would still be smoke coming out, so he said: "Grandma Yalin, after the arrival of the warm spring after the New Year, the orphanage will be rebuilt, and let Qiangzi be responsible for building the house, only those who have lived in the orphanage know what kind of environment and facilities the orphanage needs!"
Grandma Yalin said, "Xiao Ran, are you planning to tear down all this place and rebuild the house?"
Xu Ran shook his head: "Grandma Yalin, don't worry, that old church has some years of history, and there are some stories that happened there during the war years, and you, as a person who has witnessed and experienced those stories, are more qualified than anyone else to decide his survival, so in the new planning and design, this old church and several old houses with history and stories in the vicinity will be preserved, and another piece of land will be applied for in the vicinity to build."
Moreover, every year during the Spring Festival, the leaders of the province and the city will organize a delegation to visit you, especially the cultural relics protection units and tourism units, and have been coveting several historical celebrities on the wall of the church for your great contribution to Grandma Yalin and the words about the orphanage!"
Grandma Yalin said: "If you want to build a house nearby, you will inevitably have to requisition and demolish the land, and the old neighbors near the orphanage will be affected, which will make them dissatisfied, they have been taking care of and helping the orphanage!"
Xu Ran listened to Grandma Yalin's worries, and couldn't help laughing: "Grandma Yalin, the orphanage used to be poor, and the donation funds received were relatively small, and the government subsidies were not much, and there was no ability to rebuild.
But this is also a double-edged sword, while the orphanage is protected, it will inevitably affect the old neighbors nearby, and those old neighbors themselves may not say anything, but their children and family members can't help but have some ideas, feeling that this place is not planned to be demolished, it is completely affected by the orphanage, and they will inevitably complain about the orphanage, but no one dares to say it!"
Grandma Arin nodded and said, "My child, is there a good way for you to solve this problem, not only to rebuild the orphanage, but also to make the old neighbors happy and satisfied!"
Xu Ran said: "Actually, it's very simple, people are real animals, and if they give enough benefits, they will naturally be happy and satisfied, but in order to curb the greed that breeds in it, the older generation is more reasonable and easy to speak, especially those of the younger generation, or they still have to use some means to limit it to ensure it, otherwise their unbridled greed will be a bottomless pit!"
Grandma Yalin is now old and lacks energy, and she will feel in a poor mental state when she thinks about too many things, and Xu Ran doesn't want Grandma Yalin to worry too much about things.
Xu Ran made a long story short: "Grandma Yalin, you don't need to worry about these things, just leave it to us to handle it for you, besides, has Mr. Blunt left?"
Grandma Arlene said: "Blounte's physical condition is getting worse and worse, his doctor strongly asked him to return to China for recuperation, originally he didn't want to leave, but under the persuasion of his family and me, he agreed to leave, but asked his daughter Jacqueline and granddaughter Susan to stay in the country to take care of me on his behalf, Susan that girl will often come to visit and help do what she can!"
Xu Ran slandered in his heart, I hope that Susan is not a disadvantage when she comes.
However, in the matter of rebuilding the orphanage, the monks from outside are good at chanting, and since Jacqueline and Susan are still in the country, it will be much easier.
Xu Ran didn't talk about these things to Grandma Yalin anymore, and took some relevant supporting documents and procedures from Grandma Yalin, and asked Grandma Yalin to rest early.
Xu Ran chatted with her aunt for a while, and also talked about the reconstruction of the orphanage, and her aunt also attached great importance to it.
In the planning, a few bungalows of his own family must be included in the demolition plan.
In fact, Xu Ran originally planned to take the land of his own house as a starting point, and then combine some nearby places with the warehouse that He Bo rented to Xu Ran, and rebuild the orphanage according to the city's urban and transportation plan, which does not require too much floor space, so some of the old neighbors involved in the demolition of the land are easier to deal with, and there will not be too many disputes, so that both parties can be satisfied.
As for those who are not easy to deal with, anyway, Xu Ran does not plan to requisition and demolish their houses, and the parks near the city planning should be expanded, but they will suffer even more, and it is better to let them make their own choices, than to find them by themselves.
It wasn't until about ten o'clock that Xu Ran didn't talk to her aunt too late to disturb her aunt's rest, so she left and returned to the warehouse.
Just when I arrived at the door of the warehouse, I saw three black hard-core off-road style SUVs parked at the door in a zigzag shape, like a dormant monster in the dark night.
Whether it was for him or the teleportation point he had set up in the warehouse, at least six of the three cars had inexplicably appeared at his door in the middle of the night, which was enough to make Xu Ran highly vigilant.
Xu Ran didn't come closer, he stopped under guard, leaving an open buffer space behind him, so that he could escape immediately after he found out that something was wrong, and lead these people to other places.
However, the kind of situation that Xu Ran imagined did not happen.
After the drivers in the three cars found out about Xu Ran's movements, they took the initiative to turn on the contour lights and flashed them twice, but did not turn on the headlights to shoot directly at Xu Ran out of politeness.
Sensing that the other party was not coming with hostility through the performance of the headlights, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but he was still on guard in his heart.
At this moment, the door of the car in the middle was opened, and the first to come down was a very smartly dressed, half-breed woman with a ponytail and a flat-brimmed hat, which could not hide her beautiful style.
This woman still has a deep impression on Xu Ran, it is Huo Sifar.
originally thought that since the last incident with Huo Sizhen, Xu Ran would no longer have any intersection with these people, but these people still appeared here, and it is estimated that they are not here for other things.
Xu Ran thought and guessed in his heart, if Huo Sizhen wanted to say that there was any tail left that would make Huo Si Far's comeback, it should be the rain bracelet that Huo Sizhen gave to Xu Ran in return.
After thinking like this in his heart and having a general idea of how to deal with it, Huo Sifar had gradually approached at this time, and exuded a charming smile and said, "Dear Xu, I'm glad we met again!"
Xu Ran didn't get close to her, and frowned: "Miss Huo Sifar, I hope that your intention to come tonight will not make me disappointed by the disillusionment of the good impression you left!"
Huo Sifar's beautiful and charming smile froze slightly.
