The next day, Qiao Xiazhi originally planned to sleep until she woke up naturally, but her biological alarm clock was too punctual and she woke up at dawn.
Even if I went to bed late last night, I would still wake up on time the next day.
I don’t know whether this is good or bad.
If she says yes, she can't even sleep in even if she wants to. If she says no, she goes to bed early and gets up early without procrastinating, so she doesn't have to worry about missing anything.
Seeing Qiao Xiazhi getting up so early, Qiao Xiuyun, who was tidying up the vegetable garden in the morning, said, "Why are you getting up so early? I have nothing to do today, so I can sleep a little longer."
Qiao Xiazhi: "I'm used to getting up early, so I open my eyes at the appointed time."
Grandma Jiang, who was playing with her four children in the pavilion, said, "Then have breakfast and go to sleep for a while. You must not have had a good rest after being outside for so many days."
Qiao Xiazhi: "Not really. Although we sleep in a dormitory, it is still quite spacious and comfortable."
Grandma Jiang: "Okay, now that we're back, stop lying to me."
"There was an earthquake in Wen City. We are not deaf or blind. After we learned about the earthquake, we knew why you went there."
"Where do you go to sleep in the dormitory in the disaster area?"
Qiao Xiazhi knew that she couldn't keep it a secret from everyone, and she didn't want to keep it a secret after she came back. She was looking for an opportunity to tell everyone, and now that her grandmother had mentioned it, she said:
"Although I went to the disaster area to provide relief, I have been helping out in the hospital. The hospital has arranged a dormitory for me, so why is this impossible?"
When they learned that Qiao Xiazhi had been helping in the hospital, grandma and the others understood.
He nodded and asked again: "Did you see Yun Chen this time? Was Yun Chen also there on this mission?"
Qiao Xiazhi: "Yes, I saw him the next day after I arrived. Don't worry, grandma, she is fine. We also met two days before I came back. And before I came back, the disaster area had stabilized, so nothing will happen."
Grandma Jiang nodded and said nothing more.
It’s not that grandma doesn’t worry or feel sorry for this grandson.
Maybe it’s because they don’t spend enough time together, and Jiang Yunchen is usually out on missions, so grandma seems to have gotten used to it.
Compared to Xia Zhi, she was more worried about herself.
After learning that Xiazhi went to the disaster area for disaster relief, grandma couldn't sleep well every night. It was not until Xiazhi came back last night that she slept well in the second half of the night.
But now that she knows her grandson is fine, she feels more at ease.
After breakfast in the morning, Qiao Xiazhi rode his bicycle out.
She first took some things and went to Cai Tian's house to check on her and Yu Si. After all, they had often gone there to see their grandmother and the four little ones in the past half month.
Even if she is a good sister, you still have to go and say thank you.
I didn’t stay there for long, and then I rode my bike to the black market again.
However, this time she went to the black market not to exchange things, but just to wander around.
The equipment she wears when wandering around is different from the equipment she wears when changing into something, so she doesn't have to worry about being seen or discovered.
After she finished shopping, when she came out, her backpack was full while no one was paying attention.
It contained some seasonal fruits and some eggs.
All the eggs at home had been eaten this morning, so she had to buy some and ask Aunt Xu to cook them into tea eggs later so that she could eat them on the way on the train.
As for the children's food rations, we can find a way to get them when we arrive in Wuyang County. It will be troublesome to get them now and move them around.
Anyway, there is enough food rations for the next few days.
After making sure that nothing was missing, Qiao Xiazhi rode his bike straight home.
She had to go out in the afternoon to see what progress had been made in the old town.
When she bought six plots of land, she planned to temporarily build them all into two-story flats, with the first floor used as a storefront and the second floor for living.
After it is finished, it will be rented out.
When the restrictions were gradually relaxed in the later stage, she rebuilt high-rise buildings and rented them out.
Although no one would specifically check on her purchase of six plots of land due to the development of the old city, and the street authorities also chose to turn a blind eye, she could not be too high-profile.
If all the buildings were high-rise, how much would it cost to build them? And we have to build six buildings at once.
With such a big move, it will be difficult for people on the street to pretend to be blind.
Since most people build two floors anyway, she can just follow suit and build two floors.
Not high-profile, nor conspicuous.
At the end of May, she contracted out six houses and started construction. Now it has been almost a month, and it is time for her to go and take a look.
Even if it is contracted out, it is safer to check on it from time to time.
After the summer solstice in the afternoon, I found that the old city had changed a lot in just one month.
The old town, which was once dilapidated, now looks very messy.
But all the old houses have been demolished.
Many of the new houses that were started earlier have also been completed.
Some of the others are still laying the foundations, and some are under construction.
Qiao Xiazhi came to his own foundations and found that the construction was going quite fast. One set of foundations had been completed and the other set was ready. He could start laying bricks and building walls in the next two days.
Although the other four foundations were not moved, the terrain of the foundations had been dug out.
I estimate that it will be completed in about three to four months.
This means it will be almost the end of the year.
Next year, the old town should undergo a complete makeover.
Although there were no high-rise buildings like those in modern cities at that time, brick and tile houses were also very good houses under the current conditions.
There is no need for any major decoration, usually just a layer of cement wall or white lime will be enough.
If they built it like Qiao Xiazhi and his team did, with a storefront on the first floor and living quarters on the second floor, it would not cost much, just a few bricks and tiles.
Qiao Xiazhi only paid two thousand yuan for six sets of door packages.
It saves you trouble.
Because the work was contracted out, the construction team didn't know her and just thought she was there to take a look, so they didn't say anything to her.
After looking at his own house, Qiao Xiazhi went to take a look at University Road.
The university over there has also started construction.
The river channel has been completely repaired in the first half of the year.
It's quite good like this. I think this place will be even more lively and prosperous than the new city area in the future.
It seems that she made the right decision by buying the six foundations.
Who knows, this location may become a first-tier city where every inch of land is valuable in the future.
If the area on the left side of the university town is developed, it should be able to be used to build commercial buildings.
After returning from a stroll in the old town, Qiao Xiazhi started packing his luggage.
Although the train ticket is for tomorrow afternoon, you still need to pack and prepare early.
"Xia Zhi, did you tell Yun Chen about this trip back to Wuyang County?"
Qiao Xiazhi was packing his luggage when Qiao Xiuyun came over and said.
