Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 773 Final Arrangement
Xiaozhi and Xia Yang's homes are in the same neighborhood, only about 200 meters apart. On weekdays, when Xia Yang and Yan Yu have work, they send Niu Niu to Xiaozhi's house to help take care of her. Even when Xiaozhi is not at home, they can entrust her to Aunt Zhang next door. Aunt Zhang is actually a distant relative of Xia Yang. The two old people depend on each other and like to take care of Niu Niu.
Xiaozhi put the fruit in his hand on the table, sat on the sofa naturally with Niuniu in his arms, and talked about work with a smile.
Yan Yu scooped a spoonful of egg custard and put it into Niu Niu's mouth, frowning in disbelief: "Did this Miss Gu really say in person that she was willing to let Xia Yang go for the interview?"
"Yes, it's true. The boss lady is very nice. I went to work for her today. She took good care of me and paid me a lot. It was very satisfying."
"But our Xia Yang's situation is special after all. Didn't you explain Xia Yang's situation clearly?" Yan Yu still didn't quite believe that someone would let Xia Yang serve as a security guard in the guesthouse even though they knew that he had a broken hand and weak supernatural powers.
Xiao Zhi had already thought that the Xia Yang couple would probably not believe him right away at first, so he was not in a hurry at this time. He just smiled and said, "The interview time has been arranged. It will be the day after tomorrow morning. Uncle Xia, you can come with me then and you will know if it is true. By the way, you should dress more energetically that day to leave a good impression on the boss lady."
Xia Yang and Yan Yu looked at each other, and the couple saw confusion in each other's eyes, but they also knew that Xiao Zhi would never joke about this.
Yan Yu first said to Xia Yang, "Old Xia, just go. If it's true, you can go back to work. I've wronged you to take care of Niuniu at home during this period. I just heard a few days ago that the health center where I work has set up a private school. It is now recruiting 200 students. The courses are for grades one to four. The price is not expensive and is charged monthly. I thought it would be better to let Niuniu go to school so that she can get in touch with more children and learn something. I didn't tell you before because I was still considering it, but it's different now. If you can go out to work, I can rest assured to enroll Niuniu in school."
Since returning to Wenzhou, many private schools have sprung up in the nearby streets, most of which are kindergartens. For elementary schools, students have to go to another place five kilometers away, so the school that Yan Yu mentioned is very suitable for Niu Niu.
Although the couple can endure hardships, they cannot let their child suffer. Now that their lives are gradually becoming stable, Niu Niu should also get better educational opportunities.
Seeing that Xia Yang finally agreed to go back for the interview, Xiao Zhi happily pinched Niuniu's face. Niuniu puffed her lips and said angrily: "Sister Xiao Zhi, you can't pinch my face like this. Mom said that if you pinch my face too much, I will turn into a pig."
"That doesn't matter, because Niu Niu is a piglet now." Xiao Zhi was in a good mood and couldn't help pinching the child again. The child's face was soft, tender and smooth, just like a freshly peeled egg.
Niu Niu was full and was struggling to escape from Xiao Zhi's arms. Xiao Zhi was caught off guard and almost fell down. It was mainly because Niu Niu was so strong. A six-year-old child could easily lift a 30-jin bag of rice and a L bucket of water. Last time, when she was playing with Niu Niu, Niu Niu even picked her up. However, every time Niu Niu told Xiao Zhi to keep it a secret because she was worried that her parents would dislike her strange appearance.
At that time, Xiao Zhi felt soft-hearted and thought that maybe the kids nearby said something in front of Xiao Zhi, but now it seems that Xiao Zhi's strength is really unusual. I don't know if Uncle Xia has taken Xiao Zhi to the Psychic Association for examination.
However, according to the information on superpowers released by the World Superpower Association Center, after countless studies and tests, and the extraction of samples from more than 9 superpowers, it was found that the current age range of superpowers in the world is 65- years old. This means that human superpowers have to wait until around the age of nine to show superpower reactions, and people over the age of cannot produce energy cores due to various reasons in their body functions.
But it is unlikely that Niu Niu was born with supernatural powers. After all, Uncle Xia once said that Niu Niu had been in poor health since childhood, often catching colds and fevers. Her condition gradually stabilized after she was five years old. She also needed an adult to carry her when going up and down the stairs, otherwise she would be out of breath after walking two steps. Once, she almost suffocated after climbing only three floors.
Xiao Zhi glanced at Niu Niu, but saw that she was also looking at her, and even made a "hush" gesture, then turned her head away and pretended nothing was wrong.
Xiao Zhi's suspicion continued to deepen. It seemed that he had to take Niu Niu to the Association of Superpowers for a comprehensive physical examination. If Niu Niu was really a superpower, perhaps her superpowers could be cultivated in advance.
However, this is ultimately the Xia family's business, so Xiao Zhi had to put aside all the thoughts in his mind for the time being. The most urgent task was to ensure that Uncle Xia's work could be completed smoothly.

Arranging the vegetation in the yard was much easier than the first day. Gu Tongwan had the workers carefully plant all the plants and flowers in pots in advance, and then rearranged the yard. There were several stone benches and tables in the middle of the yard, which could be used for people who stayed here or wanted to dine outdoors to dine and rest. There was a circle of potted plants around the wall, including roses, orchids, various hydrangeas and other flowers, which not only had a certain ornamental value but also decorated the yard. There was a small pond further inside, which housed several mutant carp. Although these mutant carp were carnivorous, their size did not change, which meant that they would always maintain their current size.
The difference in appearance of the mutated carp is that there is a raised and transparent object on the top of its head. It is said that the higher the level of the mutated carp, the larger the raised object on its forehead, and it is even very likely to contain a crystal core.
These mutant carps were opening gifts from Xu Hang and other members of the guild. There were five carps in total, two bright red, one golden, and the other two light blue. They were swinging their tails freely in the more than three-meter-wide pool. Occasionally, when they poked their heads out and opened their mouths, one could vaguely see their densely packed sharp teeth.
There are also several purple water lilies and pink lotus flowers floating on the surface of the pond. The green leaves and the pink and purple petals set off each other to create a unique scene.
The wall on the other side was covered with emerald green ivy, which not only occupied the wall of the courtyard but also extended outside the wall. Large leaves hung down, and this corner could be used as a workspace.
The only things left to decorate are probably a few Jacaranda trees. This tree, which is between dark blue and purple in color, blooms in clusters. The whole tree looks like it is piled with blue and purple petals, like a colorful oil painting.
However, the jacaranda tree that Gu Tongwan found in the northern forest was not very big. The whole tree was only about two meters tall and as thick as a thigh. It had not even bloomed yet. It was dug down with the space prop [excavator]. The other larger trees could not be dug deeper for the time being because their roots were too deep underground. So he had to settle for the second best and brought back four or five jacaranda trees that were still in the growth stage.
The jacarandas need to grow deep underground, so the workers can only dig a few holes in the yard first. The rest of the work can only be left to Xiaozhi. The plant-type psychic must control the roots of the plants to go deep into the soil layer and finally make them grow. However, it is obvious that Xiaozhi's ability cannot control all the jacarandas at the same time, nor can he make them turn into huge trees and bloom in an instant. After all, the D-level plant-type psychic's ability core is not enough to do these.
Seeing the apology on Xiao Zhi's face, Gu Tongwan just smiled and patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder, "It's okay, take your time, there are still more than ten days, you can take time every day to adjust these trees, and I will give you 100 points each time, what do you think?"
It actually took Xiao Zhi less than an hour to adjust once, and Gu Tongwan would personally send her home every day, which made Xiao Zhi feel even more embarrassed. She quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "Well, I don't charge money, I'll help you for free, but the adjustment won't take too much energy."
"This money is considered as salary, you can't refuse it. How about this, it will be used as the bus fare. You can come here in the morning and I will take you to the bus stop at the entrance around 2 o'clock. I will trouble you to go home by yourself. How about that?"
Currently, Xiao Zhi takes the bus of the familiar worker next door to go into the underground city every day, but when he goes back, it is Gu Tongwan who takes him there. After all, he didn't get off work until six o'clock these two days. But in fact, the employer does not have to be responsible for the commuting problems of his employees.
She comes here every day to adjust the trees and check the flowers. She can definitely catch the bus at 2 o'clock every day. She can take a rest and kill time in the guesthouse at other times. In fact, she is the ultimate beneficiary.
Looking up, she saw Gu Tongwan looking at her with smiling eyes, so Xiao Zhi nodded with a blush. Her family situation was not too good, so there was no need for her to be too pretentious and reject the kindness of others.
----
Thanks to Xiaozhi's adjustment of his supernatural powers in the past few days, the jacaranda trees in the yard have bloomed particularly luxuriantly in the past two days. Even the construction team next door couldn't help but stop outside the yard to admire them, and many people even asked about these plants.
"How would I know? I'm just a decorator. These are all things the boss brought back. I guess he bought them at the flower and bird market, and then asked a supernatural person to adjust them. If it's a B&B, it has to be prettier. What's the big deal? You haven't seen hotels opened in those rich areas. You'll be blinded as soon as you enter. The floors are made of marble, the ceilings are all painted with murals, and there are crystal chandeliers. The decoration here is mainly integrated with nature. The boss is quite tasteful."
Brother Huang had a cigarette in his mouth, and he introduced the guesthouse to I don't know who was the first person who came up to ask about it. Although Brother Huang seemed to say that the guesthouse was nothing special, it was actually to prevent too many people from paying attention to this place. After all, along the way, one could see a large patch of bougainvillea extending from the roof of the guesthouse and ivy climbing all over the courtyard wall.
Today is the day that Xiao Zhi brings Xia Yang here for an interview. The time is set at 10:30 in the morning. After Gu Tongwan checked the doors and windows that had been renovated, he began to make the final settlement.
She has been busy these two days. She contacted Zhou Juan of the Tiger Faction using the contact information she had received. She then told Zhou Juan that she had some special fruits and asked if the Tiger Faction was interested.
Zhou Juan had originally hoped to get something rare from Gu Tongwan. Even if it wasn't firearms or ammunition, it would at least be useful to the Tiger Faction. But when she heard about fruit, she was a little stunned. Although their underground trading center claimed that any item could be traded, it had to be based on the fact that the items were rare and in small quantities on the market and could be sold at high prices.
Food products like fruits, no matter how good their quality is, will not be eye-catching.
Zhou Juan was about to refuse on the phone, but unexpectedly the other party said in advance that the fruit they wanted to trade was durian. This made Zhou Juan at a loss.
After her mind recovered a little, Zhou Juan was a little skeptical: "Durian?"
The reason why Zhou Juan didn't react to durian was because durian seemed to have disappeared from the market after the natural disaster. Previously, it was said that there were dignitaries who liked durian and went around the world to find out about it in order to eat this fruit. Finally, they found it in a small country in South Asia. Unfortunately, the taste of the durian cake had changed. After opening it, it tasted more like a stinky durian that had been left for a long time and had gone bad. Even the flesh had a dark yellow color, which made people think of a certain object...
If Gu Tongwan hadn't mentioned it today, Zhou Juan would have even forgotten about the fruit durian.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Juan agreed to let Gu Tongwan bring two people first, but still couldn't help but remind him: "The Hawks have been investigating Boss Gu like crazy recently. I suggest you disguise yourself before you come, just dress up a little."
Gu Tongwan didn't expect that after nearly two weeks, the Hawks were still investigating him like a mad dog, so he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, I understand."
The meeting with Zhou Juan went very smoothly. Gu Tongwan tidied himself up based on his original appearance. Not only did he dress more elegantly than before, he also changed his original triangular eyes into single eyelids and even put on another wig.
When they met for the second time, Zhou Juan stared at her face for a long time, and finally asked with a little surprise: "Boss Gu didn't use her real face before, right? So is this face your original one?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's original or not. What's important is the goods we're trading today." Gu Tongwan obviously didn't want to continue talking about her appearance. Instead, she lowered her head and opened the box she brought.
The box was sealed very well, wrapped in a black express bag on the outside and layer upon layer of plastic tape on the inside, and a foam box was used inside to prevent the smell from seeping out.
When she opened the box and saw the durian, Zhou Juan didn't show much expression on her face. But when Gu Tongwan took his three-edged military bayonet and cut the whole durian, the whole office was suddenly filled with the rich aroma of durian. Not only Zhou Juan, but also a member of the Tiger Clan next to Zhou Juan blurted out: "Oh my god, this smell is definitely right, it's the smell of the Golden Pillow durian!"
