In fact, strictly speaking, Yigang cannot be completely classified as an urban village.

In the past, Yonggang was backed by the Overseas Chinese Farmers' Market and adjacent to the Talent Center, and then gradually split, relying on the Binjiang Avenue side to flourish, CBD, Digital City, high-end hotels, and high-rise buildings rising from the ground, while the other side was like a day for ten years, old houses, dilapidated streets, locals gradually bought houses and moved out, leaving some poor and old people.

However, due to the cheap rent and convenient transportation, and the opening of the No. 7 subway a few years ago, it is favored by the foreign population.

It's just that because of the chaotic management and dilapidated houses, the government wants to move several times, but the houses in Yugang are dense, and the landlord relies on the good location and convenient transportation, so the price starts from the ground.

The government couldn't afford to demolish it, and didn't want its existence to affect the city's appearance, so a high fence was built along the ring of the gang.

Separated by a wall, there are high-end office buildings and hotels here, and there are the largest and most concentrated private houses and low-rent houses in the whole Yunling.

In the middle of the night, an emaciated figure entered through the gate of the fence and into a small supermarket on the side of the road.

The supermarket proprietress was holding her mobile phone behind the counter and talking to someone, listening to the content as if she was flirting with a man.

"Help me get a bag of double happiness!"

The phone call, which was originally chatting happily, was hastily interrupted, and the proprietress glared at her with great displeasure, and when she saw the person standing in the shade at the door, she took a box of cigarettes from the back shelf and threw it over.

"Twelve!"

The other party handed over a roll of change, touched a cigarette from the counter, lowered his head and buried most of his face in a scarf, and walked out of the supermarket wrapped in half-used cotton clothes.

The man on the other end of the hostess's phone asked, "Who are you talking to?"

The old lady sneered: "The one who came to buy cigarettes was the little widow who lived in Grandma Chen's house." ”

"Little widow? Oh, I remember, the fair-skinned, skinny one?"

"Oh, it's hard for you to remember!"

"Who remembers her, haven't you seen her a few times in your store before, wearing a hat and a mask all day long, as if she can't see people. ”

"Of course she can't see people. ”

"Why, could it be that there is something strange on your face?"

"No, I heard ......"

The voice of the woman behind grew thinner, mixed with the sound of the wind and dust outside, sneaking into this lonely and cold midwinter night.

The figure rounded a few bends, burrowed through the intricate alleys, dressed in black, like a fish swimming on the surface of the water in the middle of the night, and finally stopped in front of a bungalow, took out the key and was about to open the door, when the hut opposite "squeaked".

"Zhenzhen, are you back?"

The woman in black turned around and took off her hat and scarf.

"Grandma, why haven't you slept so late?"

"I can't sleep, I heard you open the door, come out and see. ”

The woman immediately went over to support the old man, "Is it hurting in your leg again?"

"It's old and sick, it's out of the way. ”

"The plaster I gave you didn't work?"

"It worked, it was hot, and it was very comfortable. ”

"Then why don't you put two pieces on it and then go to sleep?"

The old lady laughed, and the woman immediately understood, "Isn't it all pasted? I'll bring you another pack tomorrow." ”

"No, no, it's hard work for you to make money, don't think about spending money on me. ”

The woman laughed, "That thing is not worth much, I bought it tomorrow and I will rest your window, and paste two pieces before going to bed at night, the weather has been too cold recently, and I have to cool down after a while, and I can't get out of bed when it hurts." ”

She looked like an elder, coaxed the old lady to laugh, and pulled her arm, "Go, come to my house, I left you dinner." ”

An old man and a young man all went into the bungalow opposite.

The old lady's house was not lit, the area was small, and it was full of scrap paper that she had picked up from outside, and it was difficult for the two of them to go in and turn around together.

But small also has small benefits, at least this cold winter night will not feel particularly cold without heating tools.

"I'll give you hot soup. ”

"I'll go, you can rest for a while. ”

The woman pulled the old lady and squeezed into the kitchen by herself.

Actually, it's not a kitchen, it's just a small room separated by a curtain, with a simple stove, a sink, and a wooden cabinet picked up from the outside to put tableware.

But the old lady prefers to be clean, and everything is neatly tidied up, so even if the house is dilapidated, it does not look dirty at all.

The woman opened the cabinet and looked at the vegetables left for her in her eyes, half a bowl of radish and pork rib soup, a small bowl of spicy cabbage, and a poached egg.

There were quite a lot of ribs, at least four or five, but they were all cut into small pieces.

She sighed, stood on this side of the curtain and shouted outside: "Grandma, don't leave me so many ribs next time, I lost weight at night." ”

Soon there was a scolding outside: "What kind of fat are you losing weight, messing around, no matter how thin you are!"

The woman couldn't find the top of the conversation for a while, so she could only open the fire, add water and rice, and pour all the two bowls of things into the pot with a grunt.

A few minutes later, she came out with a steaming bowl of things.

The old lady was sitting on the edge of the bed and knocking on her knee.

She put the bowl on the small wooden table next to it, went to the corner and brought a small sun, turned on the power, and looked at the old lady's legs.

"Why don't you use this thing when you bought it?"

"Oh, I don't feel cold at home alone, and besides, this thing costs electricity. ”

"I can't afford a few electricity, and I didn't pay you back the rent increase last month?"

The old lady smiled and touched her head, touching the soft roots of her hair.

"You kid......" staggered away from her and looked at the table, frowning again, "what are you cooking mess?"

The woman shrugged, "Exclusive secret recipe, salty rice late at night, would you like to try it?"

The old lady waved her hand, "Forget it, you can eat." ”

The woman chuckled, her eyes shining in the dim light.

A bowl of hot and spicy "salty rice" went down, and her almost frozen body finally warmed up.

The old lady had already taken off her cotton pants and cotton jacket and got into the quilt again, so she took the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, brushed the pots and washed the dishes, and accompanied the old lady to talk about homely things by the way.

told some interesting stories about her work during the day, and gossiped about the little fresh meat that the old lady liked.

Well, Granny Chen is not old, she likes TFBOY, especially Yi Yang Qianxi in it.

"I heard that this year, the three little ones will also go to the Spring Festival Gala. ”

"Really? Singing or dancing?"

"I guess I'm singing and dancing. ”

"Then I'll have to stay in front of the TV. ”

"Okay, I'll watch it with you if I'm okay. ”

The woman was washing the dishes and chatting with the old lady through a curtain.

Suddenly, he said, "Someone came to find someone with a photo today, and I see that the girl in the photo looks like you." ”

"Bang", as soon as Grandma Chen finished speaking, there was a heavy sound on the other side of the curtain.

The old lady was so anxious that she knocked on the bedboard, "Ouch, did you break my bowl again?"

"Ahh

Grandma Chen then remembered to tell her about this, "Really, I saw the photo, I was quite a smart girl, wearing a skirt, but my face seems to be rounder than yours, and my hair is longer than yours, and I look like a girl from a rich family." ”

There was no movement on the other side of the curtain.

Grandma Chen waited for a while and shouted, "Zhenzhen?"

"Huh!"

"You haven't washed your dishes yet?"

"Alright, alright, here we are!"

The woman hastily cleaned up the stove and lifted the curtain, and the old lady beckoned to her, "Come here and dry your hands." She pointed to the little sun beside the bed.

The woman was not polite, squatting there and baking her hand against the light of the heater, flipping back and forth, and soon the hand that had been doused with cold water became even redder.

Grandma Chen was distressed, "Didn't you ask you to wear gloves when you work, look at the frostbite on your hands!"

The woman seemed to smile indifferently: "It's okay, I have applied chilblain cream, and it's not convenient to do things with gloves." At last, he naturally asked, "You haven't finished talking yet." ”

"Oh yes, where is it?"

"Speaking of people looking for people with photos, you think they look like me, did you tell him?"

"Of course not, the man looked like he was not small, wearing a neat suit and shiny leather shoes, and he took a photo like that and said that the girl above was his boss's wife......"

"Shhh

Grandma Chen quickly stopped and asked, "What's wrong, it's hot?"

The woman breathed at her scalded fingers and shook her head, "It's okay." ”

"Let you be careful. ”

"Well, what about later?"

"Later?"

"Then the man didn't ask any more questions?"

"No, where we live, all the people living in this place are poor, how can there be any boss's wife, and the neighbors have advised him to look elsewhere...... Are you really okay with your hands?"

The woman smiled wryly, "It's really fine. ”

The old lady stopped mentioning this stubble, and asked again: "I heard you say that you took Xiaozhi to the hospital a few days ago, how about checking the situation?"

The woman's face obviously sank, "It's not good." ”

The old lady also showed concern, "Very serious?"

Woman: "It's worse than I thought." ”

Grandma Chen: "Then what are you going to do?"

Woman: "I'll have to find a way to help her, but for now—" she looked down and rubbed her fingers.

The old lady seemed to see through something, and immediately sat up straight, "Is there a lack of money? If you want to lack it, I still have a few thousand yuan here, you can use it first." ”

The woman immediately pressed her body, "How can I use your money, besides, that's not enough, but you don't have to worry, I'll find a way." ”

The old lady sighed, "What can you do, but that child is also miserable, and it is all her mother's sin." ”

The woman took a long breath and patted the old man on the shoulder, "Okay, let's not talk about that. After that, he asked, "Has Brother Feng been free for the past two days?"

"What are you doing with that bastard?"

"I want him to go to Sunflower and bring Xiaozhi back, and I want to take her for another check-up before the end of the month. ”

"Okay, I'll ask you tomorrow. ”

……

Xu Nan searched for a few days and made no progress, and Zhou Wei's face became more and more heavy.

"Have you looked for it over there?"

"I looked for it, but I said I hadn't seen it. ”

"Where's the shelter?"

"I also sent people to guard over there, but no outsiders have visited in the past few days. ”

Zhou Wei touched his forehead, covered in frost.

Xu Nanzhan felt all over his body, and his back almost broke out in a cold sweat.

After staying up for half a minute, the man in the chair finally raised his hand and waved, "Okay, you go and do things first." ”

"Good. ”

Xu Nan was like being amnestied, walking quickly, and as soon as he stepped out of the door with his front foot, Zhou Wei leaned heavily on the back of the chair.

He has completely calmed down in the past few days and sorted things out from beginning to end.

Assuming that he really just recognized the wrong person that night, but the other party was from Jiao Chun, only a dozen kilometers away from the island where the accident occurred, could there really be such a coincidence in the world;

But assuming that she didn't recognize the wrong person, why did she run away when she saw her? The phone has been turned off for the past few days, obviously avoiding him.

Zhou Wei really couldn't figure out what reason she was hiding like this, or what was her purpose?

Amnesia?

Don't want to come back?

Or is there another reason?

For the first time, Zhou Wei felt that his brain was not enough, his fingers rubbed his forehead over and over again, irritation, chest tightness, headache, and the feeling of being on the verge of suffocation many years ago returned.

He smoked a cigarette to barely restrain his emotions, thought about it, and dialed the landline at night.

"Come to my office!"

……

The temperature dropped sharply in December, but as it approached Christmas, there were more wall paintings and some odd jobs.

At this time, she urgently needed to apply for a new mobile phone number, because the previous number was obviously no longer available.

Thinking about it, I can only start with Wu Feng.

Wu Feng is in his early thirties, is the grandson of Grandma Chen, and is currently her only living relative, but unfortunately this grandson is not worrying, he has been making trouble since he was a child, and he stayed in the juvenile detention center for two years because of crowd fighting.

Grandma Chen didn't worry about him a lot, but last year, she asked someone to find him a job as a security guard, Wu Feng moved out to live, and Grandma Chen finally had a few days of comfort.

However, every 20th, Wu Feng will come to the door on time, not for anything else, but because the 20th is the day when Grandma Chen's pension arrives.

Wu Feng worked in the morning that day, and it was rare that he brought two boxes of vegetables over before it was dark.

She deliberately didn't go out, and stood guard at the door to block him.

"Brother Feng. ”

Wu Feng scratched his neck, "Zhenzhen, didn't you go out to work today?"

"Yes, it's cold, you came to see Grandma?"

"Yes, didn't she tell me a few days ago that she wanted to eat sauce elbows, I bought it for her today, let's go, let's go back to the house to eat together?"

Although Wu Feng looks quite muddy, he is not bad to people.

She waved her hand and smiled: "I'm not going to eat, but I have to trouble you with one thing, can you accompany me to the intersection business hall to get a mobile phone card after eating?"

"You can't do it yourself?"

"I," the woman rubbed her hand in her pocket, "I lost my ID card, and I haven't had time to reapply for it." ”

Wu Feng didn't think much about it, "Okay, then I'll look for you after eating!"

……

Tian Jiaqi got news from Ye Li that Zhou Wei wanted to fund a Christmas event for Sunflower's children.

At first, Tian Jiaqi didn't believe it, how could he be a busy person to do such a thing?

Later, she personally called Zhou Xian, and only then did she get confirmation.

At that time, she thought, well, it seems that Boss Zhou is serious about charity, at least more serious than her.

Ye Li temporarily ordered to hold a unique Christmas party for the children of sunflowers.

Although it doesn't sound difficult, it's nothing more than taking a group of children to eat, drink, and have fun, which is relatively small compared to the large-scale business activities she handles, but the difficulty lies in how to measure it, so she hesitated all day and didn't make a reliable plan.

The next day, she contacted Jiang Qin, and when she couldn't make up her mind, she had to at least go to the target venue first.
