"Old Li? Old Li!"
Ma Guocai held Granny Li’s hand, calling out anxiously.
Granny Li’s eyelids trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
She had really woken up.
The women immediately burst into laughter and gathered around.
"Granny Li, you finally woke up."
"Granny Li, you really woke up."
"Congratulations, Granny Li! You have successfully awakened too."
Everyone was happy for Granny Li, tears welled up in her eyes, but she looked at everyone kindly and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you all."
She then turned to look at Ma Guocai beside her and softly said, "Old Ma, thank you too."
Ma Guocai’s eyes turned red as he said, "You’re being silly, saying this to me? You almost scared me to death today."
Granny Li laughed and said, "The Chairman said, the Red Army is not afraid of hardships on the long march. We’ve come a long way, endured so much suffering, when have I ever been afraid?"
Ma Guocai laughed and cried at the same time, the two looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan said, "Alright, everyone out. Let Granny Li and Old Ma have their talk."
The women came to their senses and all smiled as they left the dormitory Bamboo House with Liang Yuan, leaving Old Ma and Granny Li to share some heartfelt words.
Walking out of the Bamboo House, Liang Yuan and the group wandered into the planting greenhouse.
Song Wen couldn’t help but ask, "Yanyan, what happened in Granny Li’s Spiritual World after you linked with her spirit? I heard Old Ma reciting quotes from the great leader."
Dong Yan then recounted the events that occurred in Granny Li’s Spiritual World.
After hearing it, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, "That era was the most chaotic. Granny Li’s generation really experienced hardships."
Yang Mei couldn’t help but say, "It’s remarkable that Granny Li did not give up on herself, instead she embraced life and became a warm-hearted aunt in the neighborhood community."
Song Wen also sighed, "Yes, who would have thought that the always cheerful Granny Li had such a sorrowful past."
"I still remember when I first moved into our neighborhood, Granny Li was busy helping me with the registration of the floating population and temporary residence permit."
"Back then, I really didn’t think that this little old woman had suffered such a great psychological trauma."
Yang Mei nodded and said, "Who would have thought."
Dong Yan couldn’t help but say, "Granny Li is really something. She loves the country, loves life, and is willing to help others. When she first saw the apocalyptic flood disaster, so many things happened in the building, she must have been very sad."
"Yes, Granny Li is familiar with many people in our neighborhood. Seeing familiar people one by one not holding their ground and turning into man-eating demons engaging in wrongdoings, she must have been very disappointed." Song Wen sighed.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but say, "I always thought Granny Li was joking when she often mentioned she was a party member. Now I realize she was probably constantly reminding herself to adhere to the standards of a party member, to prevent herself from getting lost."
Everyone couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
At this moment, Dong Yan suddenly said, "Brother Liang, what kind of superpower do you think Granny Li will awaken?"
Liang Yuan was taken aback and almost overlooked this. He shook his head slightly, "That I don’t know. I forgot to ask just now."
"It’s not appropriate to ask now, we should wait until Granny Li and Old Ma finish talking, then we can inquire." Yang Mei said.
Song Wen also nodded, agreeing that now is indeed not the right time to disturb them.
The group wandered around the vegetable greenhouse for a while, and suddenly Liang Yuan thought of his Sunshine District plan.
He then said to Song Wen and the others, "Oh right, I have found the mutated sunflowers. I plan to create a Sunshine District in the mountain hollow, Song Wen, you’ll be in charge of this project."
Song Wen was shocked, "Sunshine District? What does that mean?"
Yang Mei and Dong Yan also looked at Liang Yuan curiously, not understanding the meaning of the term.
Liang Yuan explained, "I plan to set aside a specific area to plant a large number of mutated sunflowers. With enough mutated sunflowers, we can artificially create a Sunshine District."
"With this Sunshine District, not only can we cope with the upcoming cold wave crisis, but we can also have a place to dry wet clothes."
"Moreover, as long as there is enough sunlight in this area, we can even use solar power for electricity, heat for water heaters, achieve home heating, and even build a pool."
"In short, the Sunshine District will be of great importance. Once built, it will be very beneficial for our shelter."
The three women were all very surprised after hearing this.
Song Wen couldn’t help but ask, "But where can we find so many mutated sunflowers?"
Yang Mei also said, "If it really can be like you said, the value of this Sunshine District will indeed be very significant. I’ve noticed the temperature dropping sharply lately, Granny Li got sick, and it will likely only get worse."
"If we had such a Sunshine District, where we could dry clothes and let everyone bask in the sun, that would be wonderful."
Dong Yan said, "For such a large Sunshine District, how many mutated sunflowers and how much land area would be needed?"
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Don’t worry about the land area, our mountain hollow still has plenty of large vacant spaces."
Back when they chose this mountain hollow as a complex, Liang Yuan specifically prohibited private construction of houses and the like here.
The entire mountain hollow was designated as planned land, even if it’s left empty, no random buildings would be constructed.
Now it can just be put to use.
"As for the mutated sunflowers, I’ve already found them, so you don’t need to worry about that."
