Chapter 339 New Residence
When we returned to the prison, it was already dark.
At the prison gate, a simple wooden sign was hung with the words "Jiang Gu Base" written on it.
A faint light came on in the base.
Many people were talking happily, and it seemed that they were very satisfied with the environment here.
There are two people guarding the gate. This place is not like an island, so someone must be guarding it.
When the guard saw Gu Luan and Jiang Xian’s car, he quickly opened the rusty gate.
"Mr. Jiang and Miss Gu are back."
The two tall men guarding the gate greeted Gu Luan and Jiang Xian with enthusiasm and admiration.
Gu Luan sat in the passenger seat and smiled at the two of them, "Thank you for your hard work."
After receiving Gu Luan's reply, the two were very happy, "It's not hard, it's what I should do."
They didn't know how grateful they were to Gu Luan and Jiang Xian, as the two of them always helped them when they were in desperate situations.
It can be said that without Gu Luan and Jiang Xian, they might all have died.
As the car drove into the new Jianggu base, many men and women came running towards us.
“They are back.”
"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Gu, you're back!"
Everyone greeted the two with excitement and enthusiasm.
Gu Luan was already accustomed to their enthusiasm and smiled and nodded at them.
Yu Yao came over and said gently, "Gu Luan, the meal is ready, come and eat quickly."
Gu Luan was slightly surprised and was dragged towards the cafeteria by Yu Yao.
In one afternoon, many places in the prison had been cleaned up, the cafeteria being one of them.
There were several women in the base who cooked delicious dishes, so Fu Xinran arranged for them to cook for everyone.
When Gu Luan and Jiang Xian arrived, no one else was eating in the cafeteria.
As soon as the two entered the cafeteria, the eyes of several women who were cooking lit up and they immediately brought out the individually prepared meals.
There were two meat dishes and one vegetable dish on the table.
One dish is spicy fried dried chicken, one is steamed salted fish, and one is spicy and sour shredded potato.
The main dish is sweet and savory corn tortillas.
The corn is produced on Jianggu Island and is dried and ground into powder.
"Thank you very much."
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian sat down and thanked the women.
Several people waved their hands repeatedly with shy smiles on their faces.
They were so happy to be able to cook for Gu Luan and Jiang Xian that they didn't even have time to ask for their thanks.
Gu Luan had just picked up the chopsticks when Fu Xinran and his sister, who had been busy for half a day, walked in.
Yu Yao went into the kitchen and brought out food for them.
They each have one bowl.
There was a portion of twice-cooked pork in it, but there was very little meat, only a few slices.
A serving of spicy and sour potato shreds and a few tortillas.
Compared with Jiang Xian and Gu Luan, the two of them had less food and smaller portions.
"Wait a moment."
Gu Luan put down her chopsticks, walked towards Fu Xinran and her brother, and looked at the food in their bowls.
"Why is it different?"
Gu Luan spoke in a deep voice.
Fu Xinran held the bowl in his hand and said softly, "I asked them to do this. We can just eat whatever we want. We can't let you guys down."
"You've done so much for us, this food is nothing. I just hate that I can't let you eat better."
If possible, Fu Xinran would like to have someone prepare a full banquet to thank Gu Luan and the others.
There weren't many supplies, so this was all she could do. She just hoped the two wouldn't despise it.
"Don't treat us specially in the future. Come and eat with us."
Gu Luan turned around and sat back in his seat.
Fu Xinran and her brother looked at each other, then followed and sat down obediently.
Jiang Xian picked up a piece of dried chicken for Gu Luan and cast a faint gaze on Fu Shengran.
Fu Shengran thought something was wrong with him and looked himself up and down, "Brother Jiang, is there something wrong with me?"
He asked very carefully, wondering in his heart if he had done anything to make Jiang Xian unhappy today?
"No."
Jiang Xian withdrew his gaze and answered calmly.
Fu Shengran breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she did not offend Jiang Xian.
Gu Luan lowered his head and chuckled.
After the four of them finished their meal, Fu Xinran took the two of them to a small house farthest away from everyone in the Xinjianggu base.
"This is where you live. The house has been cleaned."
This place was the one Fu Xinran specially chose during the day.
She knew that Gu Luan and Jiang Xian liked quiet places, so she chose this place.
"Thank you very much."
"It's getting late. I'm going back now. See you tomorrow."
Fu Xinran smiled and turned away with her brother, no longer disturbing Gu Luan and the others.
Gu Luan did not enter the house, but looked around first.
This is a small courtyard with several big trees planted in front, but unfortunately they have all died.
There is a row of houses at the back, I don’t know what it was used for in the past.
A room on the left was cleaned by Fu Xinran, and a 1.5-meter bed was placed inside.
The bed is not big, barely enough for two people to sleep.
There was also an old wardrobe, a table and two benches in the room.
There wasn't much, but it was obvious that Fu Xinran had tried his best.
The bed was already covered with clean sheets and a thin quilt was neatly placed aside.
Gu Luan was also tired, so after a quick wash, she and Jiang Xian lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After the skyfire came, the temperature has been over 20 degrees, rarely returning to normal.
Maybe because the temperature was just right, Gu Luan slept soundly in Jiang Xian's arms.
When I woke up, it was already bright day.
Gu Luan opened her eyes and found that Jiang Xian was not beside her.
Used to him getting up earlier than her, Gu Luan stayed in bed for a while and then got up slowly.
After entering the space to wash up, she ate a bowl of hot and sour noodles, a small portion of fried dumplings, and a glass of milk.
Walking out of the small courtyard, Gu Luan strolled in the base.
The messy prison was transformed into a new look within a day.
The weeds and garbage that were everywhere were cleaned up, and the broken trees were dragged away and used as firewood.
The collapsed house was repaired by everyone's hard work and they searched for building materials everywhere.
Gu Luan unknowingly came to a large open space.
There are many people here, busy with their backs bent, clearing the weeds from the dirt.
In the distance, Song Boyang, Liao Wansheng and others were standing in front of Jiang Xian, and they were talking to Jiang Xian.
Gu Luan's arrival made everyone stop what they were doing and greet her with a smile.
Jiang Xian tilted his head and looked over, with a charming smile on his handsome face.
"Why are you here? Have you had breakfast?"
Jiang Xian walked up to Gu Luan and asked her softly.
"After eating, what are you doing?"
Gu Luan asked curiously.
"We are going to look for a water source nearby. If we can't find any, we will see if we can drill a well to get water."
Gu Luan nodded.
"What about them? Pulling weeds and planting crops?"
Gu Luan pointed at the hundreds of people who were busy working.
With such a large piece of land, it is not surprising that they want to farm.
The land is not fertile, but rather barren, similar to the land on the island.
Despite this, no one complained and everyone worked hard.
It would be unreasonable not to grow crops in such good weather.
"Tell them not to be busy with farming. Jiang Xian, let everyone find materials to build something nearby first."
Gu Luan looked up at the gray sky, feeling a sense of urgency that a storm was about to come.
Jiang Xian understood what Gu Luan meant and waved to Song Boyang and the others.
Song Boyang and his men came over, and Jiang Xian whispered a few words.
Although they didn't understand why they had to build something on the land, they nodded in agreement.
