Yin Xiaomei may really be reluctant for Hu Mingchen to send her home, but Hu Mingchen has repeatedly insisted, and she can only reluctantly acquiesce.

Hu Mingchen accompanied Yin Xiaomei from Biaoshan Avenue to Renmin Road, and when he arrived at the intersection of the Coal Machinery Factory, Yin Xiaomei led the way in front and took Hu Mingchen to the Coal Machinery Factory.

The Coal Machinery Factory is subordinate to the Gaoshan Mining Bureau and is its subordinate enterprise, mainly the state-owned coal mines that serve the Mining Bureau. In recent years, due to the decline in coal prices and the depletion of some state-owned coal mines under the Mining Bureau, coupled with the heavy social burden of state-owned enterprises, the economic efficiency of the entire Mining Bureau has deteriorated, which has also made the life of the coal machinery factory worse day by day.

Walking into the coal machinery factory, as far as the eye can see, most of them are very old red brick houses, the family building is usually no more than five floors, and there is usually no toilet in the house, and the glass of the workshop is almost all broken, and no one has replaced it, and the roof of the asbestos tile is dusty. The whole factory presents a dilapidated scene.

"How is this building different from the others, gray bricks, three floors, and a small courtyard downstairs. After entering the family area, Hu Mingchen was curious when he saw a three-story building that was different from other dormitory buildings at the intersection.

"This is a cadre building, the leaders of our coal machinery factory live here, this house has only been built for four years, and other houses have been casually for 20 years, of course it is different. We are the only building in this building that has a toilet at home. Yin Xiaomei lowered her voice and said, as if she was afraid of being heard by the people who lived inside.

"Oh, no wonder it's different. Your family is from a coal machinery factory, why don't you study in the middle school of the Mining Bureau?" Hu Mingchen then asked.

"We are far away from the Mining Bureau Middle School, and it is a big climb all the way...... There's no way I'm going to live on campus. It's closer to No. 2 Middle School, and I went to No. 2 Middle School. Yin Xiaomei was a little eager to speak and stopped.

"Why can't you live in school, as a child of the Mining Bureau, it shouldn't be expensive to live in school. Hu Mingchen bit broke the casserole and asked the end.

And Yin Xiaomei seemed to be very reluctant to mention this topic, and he answered Hu Mingchen's doubts in just four simple words.

"Reluctant to live. ”

"Oh, it's almost over, why haven't we arrived at your house yet?"

"I've arrived, and my family lives in the innermost unit of Building 3, on the fifth floor. Yin Xiaomei pointed to the red brick corridor in front of her.

Next to this building is the public toilet, and according to Yin Xiaomei, if his house is in the innermost unit, it is almost close to the toilet.

"Wow, it's really edified, don't you feel stinky?"

"No, my family lives high, basically I can't smell it, and besides, this is a house divided into units, so it's impossible to pick. It's good to live here, it's convenient to go to the toilet, and people in other buildings have to come over to the toilet, which is good. Brother Mingchen, I'm ...... I won't invite you to sit down, thank you for sending me back. As she spoke, Yin Xiaomei issued an eviction order.

Hu Mingchen can understand that he is a girl, and if he sees a boy at home sending her home, even if there is nothing wrong, it will not affect her.

"Okay, just send you back, then you can go up quickly, don't let your parents wait. Hu Mingchen nodded.

However, hearing Hu Mingchen mention his parents, Yin Xiaomei's eyes darkened significantly.

Just then, a stocky woman upstairs came down with a basket of vegetables.

"Xiaomei, you're back. The woman looked at Hu Mingchen and Yin Xiaomei and said hello.

"Aunt Cao, yes, are you going to buy vegetables? Yin Xiaomei responded politely.

"Yes, the food is cheap at this time, do you want to go? Ouch, I'm afraid you won't be able to go, you go upstairs and have a look, your family is coming, I seem to hear that there is an argument with your father, as if mentioning the matter of asking for money. Aunt Cao clapped her hands and turned to look upstairs.

"Oh, thank you, Aunt Cao, I'll go home right away. Brother Mingchen, go back quickly, I'm going home. After Yin Xiaomei finished speaking, she didn't wait for Hu Mingchen to reply, and hurriedly ran upstairs.

Hu Mingchen stood downstairs, not walking, not walking.

If it weren't for what Aunt Cao said to Yin Xiaomei at the end, Hu Mingchen should have turned around and left, but after listening to those few words, he couldn't leave.

From the location where their family lives, and from Aunt Cao's appointment of Yin Xiaomei to buy cheap vegetables that are about to close the market, it is known that the economic conditions of the people living here will not be very good. Besides, there are still people who come to her house to ask for money, if Hu Mingchen just leaves, some of them are not too suitable.

There is not much deep relationship between Hu Mingchen and Yin Xiaomei, and it is through Wang Huixue that they met and were implicated. However, after going through this incident, the friendship between them should have improved a lot.

Hu Mingchen's personality is a little nosy by nature, not to mention the gossip of people he knows, and he can't let go of it.

Aunt Cao saw Hu Mingchen standing on the spot stupidly, and wanted to say a few words to him, but in the end she didn't say anything, and shook her head and left.

Hu Mingchen stood downstairs for two or three minutes, faintly heard the sound of a quarrel upstairs, he was relieved, and finally decided to go upstairs to find out.

Hu Mingchen climbed up to the fifth floor along the darkened corridor, and as soon as he turned into the corridor, he heard Yin Xiaomei's cry.

The door of Yin Xiaomei's house was open, Hu Mingchen walked straight to the door, and before he pushed the door in, he heard Yin Xiaomei begging with a crying voice: "Second uncle, second aunt, you can give some more time, our family really has no money now, and if you have money, we will definitely pay it back to you immediately." ”

"Is there money? Can your family be rich in the future? Just like your father, if you don't get poorer in the future, you will be Amitabha. I don't care, anyway, we're here today to get the money. At this moment, a rough girl's voice sounded in the room.

"Brother and sister...... Why do you have to force each other so hard, ahem...... We really can't take it out now, a month, another month, and then ...... Yours are indispensable. A middle-aged man who looked vicissitudes of life continued weakly.

"A month? The ghost only believed you, and when I came back, I said the same thing, so long time has passed, where is the money? You father and daughter are liars. Let me believe it, give me my salary passbook, and when I have enough, I will return it to you. The gruff woman's voice sounded again.

"My salary...... It's only more than 400 yuan, you take it, our grandfather ...... Shall you starve to death? The vicissitudes of life said.

"What does it matter to us whether you starve to death or not, on the contrary, if we don't get the money and you die, where can I ask for the money? The rough woman said viciously.

"Wife, I see...... Just give Brother Bin a few days, they are all relatives, there is no need for this. At this time, another man said.

"Yin Zhigao, where is your elbow going? His family is short of money, isn't our family short of money? When you lent money to his family behind my back, I haven't asked you to settle it, and now you give me back to me crookedly, you think you are a rich man, and if you want to learn from Lei Feng, you have to have that strength." You are so generous, my sister's family wants to borrow money from us, and you can lend it to them. The rough woman immediately said to the man.

"I have no money to lend them. The man named Yin Zhigao said helplessly.

"Oh, if you borrow my sister, you won't have any money, and if you borrow this sick seedling, you will have money, what do you mean? I don't want to live anymore, right? If you don't want to live, you just say it earlier, and I feel bored to live with you. The rough woman raised her voice.

"Stop arguing...... Don't argue. Okay, I'll give you the salary passbook, cough cough ......" The guy named Brother Bin coughed violently when he said two words.

"Dad, Dad, you go down first, lie down, lie down and go well. Yin Xiaomei said in an anxious voice.

"Ahem...... It's okay...... Mei...... Give your passbook to your second uncle in a drawer. Yin Xiaomei's father said intermittently.

"Brother Bin, you gave us the passbook, so how can you and Xiaomei live?" Yin Zhigao said.

"Yin Zhigao, do you really want to get along with me? Don't mess with the old lady, otherwise you will have a hard time. Yin Zhigao's wife yelled.

"Zhigao, it's okay, you take it...... We'll figure it out ourselves. Mei...... Take it to your second uncle, go ......," Yin Xiaomei's father said.

"Oh, Zhao Sheng'e, what are you doing? Yin Zhigao sighed.

"Shut up for me. Yin Zhigao's wife Zhao Sheng'e replied domineeringly.

At this time, Hu Mingchen, who was standing at the door, really couldn't listen to it anymore, knocked lightly on the door, and pushed the door in.

"Brother Mingchen, why are you?" As soon as Hu Mingchen entered, Yin Xiaomei, who was standing at the door of the bedroom with a passbook in his hand, stared at him in surprise.

Yin Xiaomei's face was still full of sad tears at this time.

Only Yin Xiaomei greeted Hu Mingchen, while the other three adults stared at him strangely.

Yin Xiaomei's living room is not big, about twenty square meters. On an old spring-loaded couch lay a man with his feet covered with an old-fashioned blanket of the bed, his cheeks emaciated and his hair gray and disheveled. On the opposite side of the couch, a tall woman with wavy hair stood with her hands on her chest, her eyes gloomy and her face fierce. On a small stool next to the woman sat a small man in gray overalls.

"I haven't left yet, so I can't worry, so I'll come up and take a look. Hu Mingchen said.

"Xiaomei...... This is ......" Yin Xiaomei's father asked as he propped up the sofa with one hand and half-sat up.

"He is ......" Yin Xiaomei still didn't know how to introduce Hu Mingchen.

"Hello uncle, I am Xiaomei's classmate, my name is Hu Mingchen. Hu Mingchen greeted Yin Xiaomei's father very politely.

As for the second uncle and aunt in Yin Xiaomei's mouth, they were completely filtered and ignored by Hu Mingchen.

"You go out, what kind of mess are you making, don't you see something going on with the adults? I really don't know which child it is, and I don't know anything at all. Get out of here, and you'll come back when we're done with good business. Zhao Sheng'e shouted at Hu Mingchen with a tiger face.
