In the next N years, Xu Yin's group of children took the welfare home as their home, cherishing and caring for this courtyard that saved them, raised them, and now created a better life little by little through their hands, and at the same time responded to the call of the central city to reclaim the fertile land with stars and moons.

With the joint efforts of the friends, and under the effect of the "floating light and smoke and rain" skills that Xu Yin inspires from time to time, the dry fields and barren mountains are once again covered with greenery and full of vitality.

Valleys, ditches, and springs are murmuring.

The wildfire can't be burned even if it wants to.

Until the natural disaster was completely over, the children also grew up and went their separate ways for their ideals, and the welfare home was taken over by Xu Yin.

She heard a long-lost system voice:

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for reversing the fate of cannon fodder in this world, additional mission rewards are being distributed, click to go to the next mission world......]

Xu Yin slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, which can be regarded as a reversal, it is not easy!

But I don't have time to check it out at the moment.

The dean's body was seriously deficient in his early years, and his heart was not very good.

Xu Yin also learned after moving back to the welfare home that the director was also a child abandoned by his parents, because he had congenital heart disease that could not be cured. Xu had been in the rain before, so he wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

Xu Yin has been using Linghu water to recuperate her all these years, but after all, she has reached the end of the strong crossbow.

When he was dying, the dean held Xu Yin's hand and said kindly: "Child, I am very relieved that the welfare home will be handed over to you...... Over the years, there have been you, as well as Xiao Jin, Dongdong, Xixi, South, North, North...... I am very happy and satisfied with you children. You must be angels from heaven to give back to me! You have to love each other forever! ”

With that, she closed her eyes with a smile.

The children gathered around the hospital bed wept loudly.

Xu Yin's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and her palms were warm, it was the handkerchief that Ning Jin stuffed her.

This guy ......

……

In this life, she has never left this city.

She was still a child before the natural disaster, but after the natural disaster ended and humanity restarted, she was already the person in charge of a children's welfare home, shouldering hundreds of homeless children, and she couldn't do the same as in the last small world - a trip that could be taken anytime and anywhere.

Xu Dong and Xu Xi's children were recruited into the army when they became adults.

Although Xu Xi is a girl, her self-defense skills in the past few years have not been practiced in vain, and at the age of eighteen, she is heroic and cool, and she can knock down three adult men in one go, and she deserves to be the best 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 works together, some are teachers to take the children to learn and play, and some are responsible for logistics, overseeing food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Ning Jin originally wanted to stay, but before graduating from school, because he scored full marks in every exam of mathematics, physics and chemistry, he was selected by a university of higher learning, and was exempted from the entrance examination, and after studying systematically for five or six years, he became the youngest space vehicle designer.

Xu Yin tied the knot with him on the third anniversary of the dean's death, and the two bought a piece of land behind the welfare home, that is, above the bunker, and built an antique courtyard house as their wedding room.

After marriage, although the two get together less and leave more, their relationship is getting deeper and deeper as they get older, often doing their own things on video, chatting a few words from time to time, and not hanging up until they are busy with business.

Ning Jin's colleagues always ridiculed him for being a wife slave, and he didn't mind at all, on the contrary, he was proud of it: "My wife is willing to open a video to accompany me to work, can you?" ”

Colleagues: "......" Sorry to bother!

Not long after Xu Yin took over the welfare institute, she applied for a piece of land for breeding, digging a pond to raise fish and geese, and the income from the operation was used for the expenses of the welfare institute.

I also found an opportunity to let a child hide and hide from the cat and accidentally discover the existence of an underground plantation, and since then, the welfare home has a stable source of food, vegetables and fruits.

There is food, vegetables and surplus money, and the old buildings of the courtyard have been upgraded one after another:

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

The kitchen and utility room on the east side were torn down and the lid was removed, and a spacious and bright canteen was added;

The west side was originally a public toilet and open space, and now there are toilets in the teaching building and dormitory, and there is no need for an open-air public toilet, so this piece of land has built a three-story antique building with a wooden and stone structure connected to the corridor of the main building, which is used as a classroom and multi-functional activity room, such as a music classroom, an art classroom, a labor technology classroom and a computer room;

The open space enclosed by the courtyard is not small, with a plastic running track, a basketball court and a mini football field in the middle, and a row of fitness equipment near the entrance of the cellar.

The children live, study, and work in the welfare home, and they are not inferior to their peers in the outside world in terms of spiritual happiness, learning and working ability.

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

All the children who go out of the Grace Welfare Home do not miss this place.

Children who have joined the society, no matter where they are, whenever they mention their hometown, they think of the welfare home, think of their full and happy childhood, and say that their peers are envious and jealous:

"Am you not mistaken? Are you really depicting a welfare home? Where do orphans live? How does it sound, much happier than when I was a child! ”

"Haha! It's true! If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it when I have time, our Grace Welfare Home is really good. Maybe you won't want to come back. ”

“……”

Really?

So, in the early autumn of this year, the children who were working outside called one after another, saying that they wanted to take their colleagues (friends) back to their hometown to see them during the holidays, and the friends took this opportunity to get together after not seeing each other for a long time.

Of course, Xu Yin welcomes it.

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

She neatly cleaned up a row of guest rooms with the children, and took advantage of the good sun to dry a row of quilts on the balcony.

The terrace climbed up in the attic was drying the fungus, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp and small fish that she and her children had picked.

Every year before the arrival of winter, she will dry a lot of vegetables, smoke a few 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 the "mother's family" during the Spring Festival every year after work.

On this day, the children who had gone out drove back with their friends and colleagues.

As soon as I got off the highway, someone leaned out of the 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!" We are famous for the beautiful mountains and rivers here, and when you get to my hometown, you will know what it means to have blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters. I was still young at the end of the disaster, but I remember vividly that we were among the first to be designated as a protection base by the state. Experts have been to test, but did not find out the reason, only know that the quality of our water and soil is very good, and now in addition to our welfare home, the surrounding land has become a national planting base. ”

"Aren't you happy?"

"I always say that I was happy when I was a child, but you don't believe it."

“……”

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

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, but the childhood of the welfare home, it is good to be well fed and clothed, can it really be linked to happiness?

Until they arrived at the welfare home, they saw a three-story courtyard composed of a four-and-a-half-story main building and a two-story auxiliary building, with white walls, black tiles and mahogany columns, red flowers, green grass and clear pools, is this really a welfare home? Instead of a park surrounded by greenery, birds and flowers, and clear ponds?

"Haha! Dumbfounded, right? I knew you'd be dumbfounded! When I was a child, we often played football and games in the playground, ate and had a party in the east annex building, attended classes in the west annex building, left school at three o'clock in the afternoon, and had to go to the next farm or underground planting farm to work for an hour, cleaning the goose house, picking up goose droppings, feeding fish food, the underground planting farm has our own dry field, I liked to eat tomatoes the most when I was a child, all the dried fields are tomatoes, cooked one and eat one, the dean's mother jokingly called me 'tomato knight'......"

Xu Ming's colleagues were stunned: "Underground plantation? Can it be planted underground? ”

"Haha! Haven't seen it, have you? But you should have heard that in the years of the natural disaster, the base grew grain and vegetables underground, and our dean even planted vegetables for the base when he was a child. ”

Xu Ming introduced while taking them around, from the dormitory where he slept when he was a child, to the classroom where he was in class, and then from the breeding base next to him to the underground plantation, and also took them to see the drying platform for drying all kinds of New Year's goods......

The mouths of these colleagues had never been closed, and Xu Mingzhen was worried that their jaws would be dislocated.

"Now you believe that I was very happy as a child, right? I miss the carefree and happy days of those days! ”

His colleagues looked at him with envy, not only envying him for having such a rich childhood when he was a child, but also envying that he still had a fixed bed and had a place to stay whenever he came back.

"Xu Ming."

"What?"

"Your little expression makes us want to beat you up!"

"Hey, hey? What are you doing here? ”

"Hahaha-"

Xu Yin leaned on the railing in front of the office door, smiling and looking at the group of young children in their early twenties downstairs playing and playing, and scenes flashed in her mind of her and Ning Jin, Xu Dong, and Xu Xigou in the last days of the natural disaster.

The phone rang, and it was a video from Ning Jin.

"Dongdong retired due to injury, Xixi also transferred, they have half a month off for the Chinese New Year this year, I am going to take a holiday at that time, where do you want to play? Let's go together. ”

"I heard that Canterlot has been converted into an underground museum and a hot spring hotel, so let's stay there for a few days?"

Ning Jin chuckled: "Underground hotel? You can go to the bunker whenever you want to live, but you haven't had enough? ”

"That's different."

"Okay, you can go if you want."

There seemed to be a lot of people on his side, and as soon as the words fell, Xu Yin clearly heard a burst of laughter, and it seemed that there were still people ridiculing him as a wife slave who responded to his needs.

"It's a bunch of guys who can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour." Ning Jin chuckled, "Let's ignore them." ”

Xu Yin pursed her lips and looked up, and a flock of south-migrating geese flew in front of her.

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