Chapter 65 The sadness of the shantytown
The scene just now was just a little surprising to Xia Haoran, but there was not much turmoil in his heart. He shook his head and drove to the place Li Mengyao said.
At an intersection not far from the shantytown, Xia Haoran saw Li Mengyao's somewhat thin figure, wearing the same white cotton clothes, washed and snow-white, standing in the wind, which made Xia Haoran's heart pound.
Occasionally, the wind blew through Li Mengyao's scattered hair, fluttering in the wind. She is like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world and suffered, or a fairy. Xia Haoran sighed, slowly parked the car beside her, then opened the co-pilot's door and said, "Yaoyao, get in the car." ”
"Ahh
"Hehe, it's easier to drive yourself, and it's not easy to get a taxi during the Chinese New Year. Besides, it's the first time I've come to your house, so if I'm not formal, how can I be liked by my future father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Xia Haoran smirked.
"Who are your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense, especially after you come to my house. If you talk nonsense, hum!" Li Mengyao snorted deliberately and glanced at Xia Haoran fiercely.
However, at this moment, Li Mengyao's heart was tickling, both worried and scared, this guy shouldn't really say this when he came to my house this time, right? If so, if he can be his girlfriend in the future, it seems that it will also be a good choice!" Thinking of this, Li Mengyao's little face suddenly turned red.
"Yaoyao, what are you thinking? "Although Xia Haoran was driving, he had already 'seen' the change in the expression on Li Mengyao's face.
"I didn't ...... Didn't think about anything. Li Mengyao hurriedly waved her hand, and then she was stunned, and heard Xia Haoran call her clearly, "You...... Call me what?"
"Yaoyao, what's wrong? I remember Uncle Li called it that last time. If I call you Li Mengyao, it seems that the relationship between the two of us is not rusty. Classmate, don't you mind if I call you that?" Xia Haoran said with a smile.
"Oh, that'...... Okay then, I, can I call you Haoran?" Li Mengyao couldn't help but feel grateful after hearing this, and then said in a low voice.
It is said that the children of the poor are in charge early, and Li Mengyao is even more so. It's not that she doesn't understand the warmth and coldness of society, but her mother's affairs made her understand how vulnerable her family is...... Therefore, in Li Mengyao's heart, unconsciously, she became vigilant and defensive against all boys who tried to approach her. Therefore, she rarely talks to boys, let alone has male friends.
Over the years, due to her mother's health and family situation, she has been going deep and simple, and there is no satisfactory friend around her, and there are many times when there is no one to confide in the grievances in her heart, and she is very lonely.
Since I met Xia Hao, every time I am with him, although I just say a few words, this sunny big boy can always make himself feel relaxed and happy. Is this love? Li Mengyao also asked herself more than once in her heart.
"Of course, you can call me Haoran, Haozi or whatever, you can call me whatever you want, and you can call me whatever you want. Xia Haoran suddenly showed a very underwhelming look and said excitedly.
In fact, at this moment, Xia Haoran's heart was already happy. It seems that Li Mengyao also accepted herself from her heart, otherwise, she would not have said that just now. Originally, Xia Haoran was still thinking that he would use Mother Li as an excuse in the future, and he would not be afraid that Li Mengyao would not compromise, but now it seems that he no longer needs it.
"Yaoyao, is Uncle Li at home today?"
"Hmm. Dad heard that you came over today, so he took a day off to be at home. ”
"Oh, that's good! Looks like I'm pretty face-saving. Xia Haoran said with a smile.
Shantytown, in fact, refers to the area within the city where the house density is large, the service life is long, the housing quality is poor, the per capita construction area is small, the infrastructure is incomplete, the transportation is inconvenient, the public security and fire hazards are large, and the environmental sanitation is dirty, chaotic and poor.
In some metropolises, some also call them 'urban villages'.
Many developing cities have this kind of shantytown, of course, not all the houses in the shantytown are bungalows, there are some buildings, but these buildings are not much better than bungalows, there are no gas pipes, no network lines, etc...... Some don't even have kitchen smoke ducts.
Xia Haoran had seen on his computer the check-in and information about the urban village, which was the nest and concentration camp of a group of urban ant tribes. Since the reform and opening up, the cities have become more and more lively, and the countryside has become more and more desolate. Most of the migrant workers and university students flock to the city, and in order to survive, they often live in a small space, sharing toilets and washrooms......
Therefore, Xia Haoran didn't feel anything after seeing the real scene in front of him, he just frowned slightly, he didn't expect Li Mengyao to live in such a poor environment. Dirty coal piles and muddy streets, stinking garbage heaps and black water ditches......
In this harsh environment, there is a group of civilian school girls like Li Mengyao!
The smell of this place is really a bit pungent. Xia Haoran drove the car slowly, while looking at the scene outside the car window, he felt a burst of sadness, and muttered to himself, "It turns out that Meng Yao lives in such an environment, it seems that his bubble girl plan is going to be implemented in advance." ”
"The conditions here are poor, don't laugh at them. Li Mengyao couldn't help but say when she saw that Xia Haoran had been staring out of the glass window and occasionally frowning.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised. Xia Haoran smiled and said.
Xia Haoran parked the car at the mouth of an alley, it was difficult to turn in, and there were messy things piled up at the door of every house, and it was really difficult to drive inside.
At this time, the residents in the alley looked at this brightly colored car with a lot of surprise.
Usually, there are very few cars that can come to this shanty town, and few people who live here can afford a car, except for taxis. Anyone who can afford a luxury car will not be able to live here, and will have already bought a house in a better place.
"What is this?" Li Mengyao saw Xia Haoran lock the car, and then took down a few pockets from the back seat.
"Oh, this is just a few fruits I brought for my aunt. On the day of the Great Shoi month, I can't come empty-handed as a boyfriend, right?" Xia Haoran shook the plastic bag in his hand and said with a smile.
Meng Yao was a little moved after hearing this: "Thank you." ”
"Who's that young man?" asked an old man at the mouth of the alley.
"I don't know, maybe it's the boyfriend brought back by the girl from the Li family!" said the old aunt.
"Oh, yes, you see that young man is still driving a car!"
"Yes, the girl of the Li family has been excellent in character and learning since she was a child, and she is very good-looking, I have long said that she will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future. ”
Although the voices of the two were not loud, they were still clearly heard by Xia Haoran and Li Mengyao who were passing by. Xia Haoran deliberately turned his head and swept Na Nizi's face, and suddenly Li Mengyao's little face became red.
However, the reason why others say that, who made Meng Yao follow Xia Haoran like a little bird at the moment?
So, the two of them could only pretend not to hear and continue walking.
"Isn't this Yaoyao, why didn't you go out to play today? Hey, who is this young man?" Just a few steps away, another familiar neighbor aunt came over.
Li Mengyao secretly said What the hell is going on today, why do you always meet acquaintances!
"Aunt Zhang, this is my ......" Li Mengyao was suddenly a little overwhelmed, thinking about how to introduce herself.
Seeing this, Xia Haoran stepped forward and nodded generously to Aunt Zhang, and said politely: "Hello Aunt Zhang, I am Yaoyao's classmate and good friend, and I am here to visit her house today." ”
"Oh, well, I know the young man's set. The young man looks talented and polite, Yaoyao, you really have a vision!" Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, making a look of great satisfaction.
"Aunt Zhang, don't make fun of me!" Li Mengyao immediately became a little embarrassed after hearing this.
"You Aunt Zhang and I are telling the truth, I won't delay you, go home quickly!" Aunt Zhang smiled and waved her hand.
"These people, it's really ......" After Aunt Zhang left, Li Mengyao said to Xia Haoran with some complaints: "Aunt Zhang is our old neighbor here, and she likes to gossip with others, what you said just now, and Ming'er will know about the whole piece!"
"What do you know?" Xia Haoran deliberately showed a bad expression and said to Li Mengyao: "Please! I'm just telling the truth." Besides, even if she doesn't say it, don't you think the other neighbors won't say it? You know, there are no airtight walls in this world!"
"Hmph! What you said makes some sense!" Li Mengyao glared at Xia Haoran slightly.
"I'm thinking about you, you, what kind of person are you!" Xia Haoran deliberately pretended to be very aggrieved, but muttered in a low voice: "What's wrong with spreading it, anyway, you will be my person sooner or later......"
"Haoran, what are you muttering?"
"No, I didn't muttering anything! That, Yaoyao, how long will it take us to get to your house?" Xia Haoran was a thief, and quickly diverted the topic!
