Sure enough, there were three people standing at the gate. He knew them all: his younger brother, his girlfriend, and Jiawen. He was familiar with them.

Feng An looked at the fruits in the nylon bag in Jiawen's hand and the canvas bag next to it and knew that they also knew the news that his mother was not in good health. Although his brows were frowned, his expression softened a lot when he saw the three of them.

They soon arrived at the Feng family compound in silence. Before entering the house, Shen Mingxi knew that the Feng family was bustling today because Zhao Suqin's three nominal sisters were all there.

Zhao Suqin's eldest and second sisters are now grandmothers and look very old. If they stand together with the old lady of the Zhao family, no one would say that they are mother and daughter.

They were no longer of any use to her. Apart from mailing some local specialties and food every month, Old Lady Zhao never allowed them to visit her.

It can be seen that their lives are very hard, but at this moment, besides uneasiness, there is also a hint of indignation between their brows.

Shen Mingxi knew that they must know his true identity, and Zhao Suqin's face was pale. Shen Mingxi could not see what was wrong with her soul, but he could still give her his energy.

As for the rest, she really couldn't do anything, so after dinner the brother and sister left.

If it were usual, Feng Anchen would definitely go back to school with the two of them, but not today. He and his eldest brother had to take their three nominal aunts to the detention center to see the old lady of the Zhao family.

I also want to ask about the life stories of these three of them. It would be fine if I didn’t know, but now that I know, I’d like to know more.

When people live in this world, they are faced with the daily necessities of life. Some people's life is already hard, and now that there is an opportunity, they don't want to let it go, whether they can seize it or not.

Just like what Shen Mingxi accidentally heard Zhao Suqin's second sister say, even if she is old and her parents are no longer alive, there are still other relatives in the family who miss her. Even if they don't care about her, it is a good thing to take care of her children.

Fortunately, they all knew their own limitations and did not expect to gain any benefits from Zhao Suqin. It might also be due to decades of habit. Not to mention that everything the old lady of the Zhao family did was indeed beneficial to them.

These daughters don't have a good relationship with each other and they don't have any feelings for each other. All you need to do is be nice to her. There is no such thing as sisters helping each other. It would be terrible if they united to deal with her.

Moreover, Zhao Lan would not allow them to get close to each other, and no one should care who is the best.

Therefore, their relationship is actually even weaker than that between neighbors, and now they are only together because of this common goal.

So Shen Mingxi no longer asked 009 to start the scanner to monitor their home. After all, it was unsafe to keep the scanner turned on all the time.

Even if there is no existence more powerful than the little koi and the system in this world, what if? If they are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

As for the others, Zhao Suqin felt much better after being surrounded by the energy ball. Even after her physical condition healed, her mental illness also needed to be cured slowly. Besides, Feng Fan was by her side.

There is nothing to worry about on the Zhao family's side. Naturally, someone will punish them accordingly.

So Shen Mingxi completely gave up on these things.

In the blink of an eye, winter vacation is about to begin.

Before the winter vacation, the school received an email informing him that Feng Anchen's application to participate in the competition had been approved. He was now qualified to participate. As for what kind of ranking he could get, that depended on his own efforts.

The competition is scheduled for mid-February.

That means there is still one month left.

Customs at home and abroad are different. In February, it is still the Spring Festival in China, but it is normal abroad, so there is no problem in holding competitions at this time.

Next, Feng Anchen will start preparing.

Feng An originally had a nonchalant attitude towards his participation in the competition, but then he discovered that this was a big hidden benefit, because Xiaoxi would accompany him to the library to look up information and read books on building materials.

This made Feng Anchen very happy. This was something he had never expected.

Although they were in the same school before, they could only see each other once a week when they were really busy. Now that he is fully preparing for the competition, Xiaoxi took the initiative to help, and suddenly the two of them can go to the library together after dinner.

This is like dating every day, and it's all open and aboveboard.

So Feng Anchen really had a smile in his eyes and eyebrows.

Shen Mingxi didn't think as much as Feng Anchen.

There was still more than a week left before the winter break, so she should help him in any way she could, as she would definitely have to go back to Yuncheng after the break.

After all, she had no reason to stay in the capital.

However, participating in this architectural design competition is not as simple as others think. First of all, you need to master a lot of information before designing. For example, as a surface building, what is the building area, the total investment and the unit cost...

There were some things Shen Mingxi didn’t understand, but there was one thing she knew because there was information on this in her geology course.

For example, this landmark building also involves geological temperature.

First of all, you need to understand the local weather data.

It refers to the temperature and humidity, sunshine and wind direction, wind speed, permafrost depth, and seasonal changes in rain and snow in the area.

There are also topographic, geological and hydrological data.

For example, the local soil type and carrying capacity, the groundwater level in that area, and its geological information.

There is no such information for sale in the consignment area, but there is in the library, and Shen Mingxi can help in both aspects, which means that this is her expertise. While helping Feng Anchen, she also increases her knowledge, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

So with the help of Shen Mingxi, two days before the winter vacation, Feng Anchen had almost collected all the local temperature information.

Shen Mingxi didn't dare to say it was 100%, after all, he had not conducted any on-site exploration. However, there was some information about that country in the 009 search engine. Although it was very little, Shen Mingxi knew that it was the most accurate.

Naturally, this information was also mixed here. It can be said that this provided great help to Feng Anchen.

Feng Anchen became more and more diligent. He tried his best to get a good ranking, not to mention anything else, just to not let Xiaoxi down.

Thanks to Sishuiderensheng, Nightingale Lisa, and Yingmu Piaochenbaby for their rewards.
