Chapter 253: The New Neighbor
Coincidentally enough, not only did they choose the same building, but He Tianming also got unit 303 through his own efforts.
However, this also relieved her a bit, at least they didn’t encounter bad neighbors.
She chuckled, “Captain He, you have good taste. My relatives happened to buy the units at 301 and 302.”
“It’s all thanks to your reminder. We acted early, otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to snatch these units.”
It’s a mutual benefit. If it weren’t for, He Tianming’s reminder, even with points, Jiang Ning wouldn’t have been able to select a villa.
On the way, Yang Weimin discussed installing the solar panel and planting on the rooftop terrace.
With over a hundred people, catering for their needs was not easy.
Arriving at the residential area, Jiang Ning spoke up, “Captain He, thank you for taking care of us for the past year. We’ll be moving to the new city district in a couple of days.”
He Tianming was taken aback, “So soon?”
Every day seemed endless, yet looking back, it felt like just a blink of an eye.
They had been at Aoyuan for a year, during which the residential area had experienced several storms. Without their strong support, Aoyuan might have collapsed long ago.
“When are you leaving?” He Tianming asked, “You’ve helped Aoyuan a lot, and we’d like to send you off.”
Jiang Ning politely replied, “We’re also members of the community; there’s no such thing as helping or not helping. Besides, living here feels like having a home.”
If not for the circumstances, they really wouldn’t want to move.
Gratitude should be expressed. Without their help, Aoyuan wouldn’t even have had the opportunity to buy houses.
But they were moving so fast and they also need to accumulate more supplies.
Huo Yishen reminded them, “The new city district has factories, and it’s not far from the agricultural institute’s plantation. There are plenty of job opportunities; you should pay attention to recruitment notices.”
It was still early when they returned. After a nap, the three of them and the dog went out to stock up on soil.
Before development, this area was originally fertile land, so the soil was still fertile.
They dug soil into the truck while storing some in their space.
Although it looked like only one truckload, they actually stored a lot in her space.
After eating and resting, they started demolishing the house the next day. They did not even spare the doors and windows.
They left suddenly, without giving He Tianming a chance to treat them.
Huo Yishen drove the truck, and Jiang Ning drove the Hummer.
Dream’s heart was broken, and she ran after the car, but Coke remained cold-hearted, portraying a high and mighty attitude — “Don’t be infatuated with me, I’m just a legend!”
Looking back at Aoyuan, standing aloof.
This Garden of Eden in the apocalypse would soon be abandoned as well. Who can say what the future holds?
Two cars, one after the other, drove into the new city villa area.
Jiang Ning acted fast, but she didn’t expect someone to be faster than her.
Several high-end villas had already begun their renovations, with workers arriving one after another.
Huo Yishen was afraid of tiring Jiang Ning out, “Should we hire people?”
“No need, we’ll do it ourselves slowly.”
They didn’t have much else to do, so they might as well exercise.
They weren’t in a hurry to renovate the bare house; they first erected the outer walls and occupied the land.
She took out the bed and furniture, as the toilet wasn’t fixed yet, they had to use a portable toilet.
The work was tiring, so they needed a hearty meal.
After serving a few dishes, they ate, then went to dig the foundation, starting with the triangular area.
Jiang Ning wasn’t in a hurry to work; she took breaks from time to time.
Huo Yishen, on the other hand, worked efficiently like a laborer, digging not only wide but also deep foundations.
By the time the stone walls were built, even a big truck crashing into them wouldn’t bring them down.
Jiang Ning teased him, “You’re not just building a wall, you’re building a fortress.”
Huo Yishen smiled, “Then let’s build a fortress, even if the sky falls, it won’t crush us.”
After digging the foundation for a few days, more and more people came to renovate the villa area.
They maintained a regular schedule for renovating their house. While the others worked day and night shifts, digging swimming pools, building gardens, and laying green belts.
Fortunately, they were far away; otherwise, they would have been driven crazy by the noise.
With the foundation dug, Jiang Ning went out and brought back a truckload of stones.
The two of them studied construction videos for a long time, slowly figuring out how to build the walls…
Mixing cement, river sand, stirring with a hoe.
Huo Yishen had OCD, so at the beginning, the walls he built always felt uneven. He knocked them down several times and then got them done properly…
Jiang Ning smirked beside him, thankful that his OCD only applied to himself. Otherwise, life would have been chaotic.
When the wall was about half a person high, a big truck suddenly drove up to the door, and more than a dozen men jumped out of it, holding tools in their hands.
Sensing their arrival, Jiang Ning instinctively reached for her knife.
“Hey, man, your renovation is quite unique.”
The voice was impudent, and the guy had a cigarette in his mouth, walking arrogantly.
Jiang Ning looked up and, uh!!
When she saw who it was, the cigarette in the man’s mouth fell, “Damn, it’s sis-in-law.”
Realizing he misspoke, Qin Chuan quickly smiled and changed his tone, instantly becoming steady and enthusiastic, “What are you doing here?”
It was like Sichuan Opera face change, entirely different from before. Indeed, all second-hand dealers have two faces.
Jiang Ning was equally surprised, “Qin Ge, why did you bring so many brothers here?”
Looking at them, with their sharp mouths and shifty eyes, it was obvious they were not good people.
Qin Chuan chuckled, “Do you know who’s in the neighboring house?”
Since he asked like that, Jiang Ning couldn’t fail to guess, “You’ve taken it?”
“It’s fate.” Qin Chuan took out another cigarette, “I came to see it before. I fell in love with your current place at first sight. It’s quiet around the corner. I didn’t expect someone else to claim it during the housing selection.
“I was curious who had such good taste, so I came here specially to find out, and unexpectedly, it’s you, sis-in-law.”
“Sorry for stealing your favorite.”
“No worries, from now on, we’re neighbors.”
It’s better to deal with these two than those rich people who always look down on others.
Having dealt with rich people for years, he couldn’t be unaware of their deep-rooted class consciousness. Even though he had a lot of resources in his hands, in their eyes, he was just a nouveau riche.
If it weren’t for the relative safety of the villa area and the desire to provide a good environment for his son’s upbringing, he wouldn’t have bothered to move in.
Now it’s good, he unexpectedly found a kindred spirit.
Looking at the thick walls, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but ask, “Are you building a fortress?”
They were old acquaintances; Jiang Ning didn’t need to hide anything, “Haven’t you heard the official announcement? The weather may become even worse in the future. We already have polar days; won’t polar nights be far behind? If hurricanes or acid rain come, the whole place will be full of corpses. I’m a bit cowardly, so I’d rather make the house safer.”
It’s not just about safety, it’s also about privacy.
Some rich people are more difficult to deal with than villains.
Originally, Qin Chuan had called his brothers to come over for renovation, but seeing the two of them working as slow as snails, he couldn’t help but wave his hand, “What are you guys standing around for? From today onwards, all of you will help Brother Huo and finish the renovation directly.”
The dozen or so brothers were stunned for a moment, then they responded one after another, rolling up their sleeves and coming over to help.
Jiang Ning quickly stopped them, “There’s no need to trouble you; we can handle it ourselves.”
“Are you going to take forever?” Qin Chuan was extremely enthusiastic, “Even if they don’t look great, they’re skilled workers. There’s nothing they can’t do.”
“We really don’t need…”
However, there were indeed some who forcibly helped, mixing river sand, laying stones, piling up ash…
Don’t judge a book by its cover; they were quite efficient at work.
Jiang Ning was speechless. Who knew Qin Chuan would still be yelling, “Move faster, whoever slacks off, see how I deal with you!”
As he spoke, he took a deep puff of his cigarette.
