Chapter 9 The Other Side of Zhou Manting (11th 1st Update) "Xiao Tingting." I've helped you solve your troubles, can you also help me solve the doubts in my heart......" Mu Fei, who was sitting in the front row of the taxi, asked Zhou Manting, "Looking at you like this, you seem to be quite familiar with Shen Cheng?"

Listening to the sentence 'Xiao Tingting', Zhou Manting's face flushed slightly, and then replied, "I am familiar with Shencheng because I am originally from Shencheng......

"Huh, you, are you from Shencheng?" Mu Fei frowned slightly.

Although Shencheng and Binnan are not far away, and both belong to the three northern provinces, the accents of the people in these two places are very different.

Although Binnan has many 'local dialects', the pronunciation of his speech is standard Mandarin. Compared with the accent of the Shencheng people and the Binnan people, the regionality is quite obvious.

And Zhou Manting's accent does not have Shen Cheng's 'style' at all, so Mu Fei has always thought that she is from Binnan.

"Yes, I'm from Shencheng......"

Zhou Manting replied, "I was born in Shencheng, but my mother is from Binnan. Until I was eleven years old, I lived with my grandmother in Binnan......"

"When I was eleven years old, my grandmother passed away and there was no one to take care of me. I went back to Shencheng to live with my dad and stayed in Shencheng for another seven years until my sophomore year of high school, when I transferred from Shencheng to Pennan ...... because of my dad's job transfer."

Zhou Manting spread her hands, "That's it." Although I haven't been back to Shencheng for a while, I've lived here for seven years and I'm still familiar with it......"

Hearing this, Mu Fei suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's ......"

Then, he looked at the little stone again, "Then ...... this kid?"

"As for his business...... Alas, that's a long story, I'll talk to you later......"

Zhou Manting said, pointing to the small stone, "Wait until I understand his affairs first......"

"Xiao Shi, I didn't finish talking just now, you go on......" Zhou Manting asked Xiao Shi, "Didn't you go with Xiao Yu and glasses to pick up empty water bottles? Why did you provoke those underworlds? Also, why didn't they come with you......

Later, Xiao Shi told what happened to him again.

It turned out that when I was picking up a water bottle, I met three or four little beggars who were begging. The little beggars didn't say anything to them, and drove them away from picking up things here.

When they didn't leave, the little beggars actually beat them. The three children were angry and fought with the little beggars.

After the three of them fought hard to drive the four little beggars away, when they were happy, a kind aunt who always gave them bottles and old cardboard boxes asked them to run away with a worried face.

She said that those little beggars were 'raised' by the underworld here, and they had to pay more than half of the money they wanted to give to the 'big brother' here, that is, the blind man Wang Xiong.

At this time, Xiaoyu and the two children were scared enough that they didn't dare to say anything.

But the 20 yuan a day here is really not a small amount for them who are in difficulty. Xiaoshi was reluctant, so after recovering from his injuries, he still came secretly.

As soon as Lu Dao came, he was caught by those little beggars and beaten up.

And Zhou Manting, who happened to be shopping, happened to see him and rescued him, but who knew that the little beggars actually found the four big hooligans, so there was the scene just now.

Mu Fei listened to what this little stone said, and looked at the hairy boy more and more pleasing to the eye. Because he felt that this kid was very similar to his own personality, and he had a kind of stupidity that a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.

"Your name is Xiao Shi, isn't it?" Mu Fei asked Xiao Shi with a smile.

"Uh-huh......" Little Stone nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Shi saw Mu Fei's wonderful performance just now, and he regarded Mu Fei as an idol. While talking, he leaned on the back of Mu Fei's seat and asked with a smile, "Big brother, are you my sister Tingting's boyfriend?"

"Porphyry~~" Listening to Xiaoshi's words, Zhou Manting almost vomited out the water she had just drunk.

"You stinky boy, why do you gossip more and more when you grow up? You think you're a girl, and you still love gossip? Shut up for me......" Zhou Manting blushed and interrupted.

As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Fei.

Mu Fei didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about, and this kid suddenly said this, and he asked with great interest, "What do you see?

"Hehe, if you want me to say, you must be my sister Tingting's boyfriend......" Xiaoshi replied with a smile.

"How so?"

"Because Sister Tingting is beautiful, has a good figure, and is very kind in her heart. A girl as good as her, only a boy of the same good can match her......"

When Xiao Shi said this, he pointed at Mu Fei, "Big brother, you are so handsome and so capable of fighting, I think you are worthy of my sister Tingting......"

Belch...... Is it good to be able to fight? The idea of a child is really simple......

Mu Fei thought helplessly, shook his head, and replied, "You guessed wrong...... I'm not your sister Tingting's boyfriend......"

"Ah, isn't it?" Hearing Mu Fei's words, Xiao Shi looked disappointed.

Seeing his expression, Mu Fei became curious again, "You're not so depressed, are you?"

"Of course, because then you can teach me kung fu......"

Xiao Shi said, shaking his small fist and posing two kung fu poses, "Big brother, your kung fu is really handsome." If I had learned, the bad guys out there wouldn't have dared to bully my younger siblings. Whoever bullies them, I will beat them......"

"Ah, yes......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Shi suddenly remembered something, smiled evilly, and said to Mu Fei mysteriously, "I remember, big brother, why don't we do business?"

"What business? Tell me about ......"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Xiao Shi waved his hand at Mu Fei and motioned for him to come over, "As long as you are willing to teach me kung fu, I will give you my sister Tingting as a girlfriend, how about it?"

Hearing this, even Mu Fei, who was already good enough to make trouble, was amused by him.

"Ahem......"

Just when Xiaoshi was proud, Zhou Manting's coughing sound came from his ears. Little Stone was startled.

"Little stinky stone, what do you say?" Zhou Manting looked at the little stone and asked with an unkind face.

"Hehe, no, nothing. Talk to Brother Mu Fei about a conversation between men......" Xiao Shi said with a smile.

And in response to him was a slap in the face.

"Smack~~" Zhou Manting slapped the little stone on the head, "You stinky boy, how many years have I covered you, sister?I gave you your comic books, right? I bought your toys for you, right? I don't treat you very well, and I'm not bad......"

"You kid is a good kid, you actually sold my sister and me in order to learn kung fu...... I...... I'm going to teach you a good lesson, stinky boy with no conscience......"

"Oh, Sister Tingting, I was wrong, don't fight......" Xiaoshi hugged and begged for mercy.

"If you don't hit you, you don't have a memory......"

"You can't knock your head, it's stupid to hit again. Ahh......h

"You sue me, and then see who the dean helps......"

“……”

“……”

The two of them were arguing with each other in the back, and Mu Fei, who was sitting in the front seat of the car, and the driver were amused by them.

……

Fifteen minutes later, the taxi pulled up in an unknown place for Mu Fei.

Although Mu Fei didn't know what kind of place this was, Mu Fei could see that no one living here would be a rich person.

As the capital city of a province, Shencheng will naturally not be too bad in terms of development.

But no matter how talented a designer is, he can't design a house with sun on all sides, and no matter how prosperous the city is, there are backward places.

And now Mu Fei and Zhou Manting, where the little stone is located, is estimated to be the most dilapidated place in Shencheng.

On this small street, which is only a dozen meters wide, sharp soil is flying, and garbage can be seen on the side of the road, and the sanitary situation is worrying.

On both sides of the street, there are small dilapidated bungalows. Occasionally, there are buildings, built in the same style as decades ago, and the tallest is only four floors.

The buildings on this street are all different from bungalows to buildings.

The jagged houses, the dirty environment, the children running around playing, the vendors who wore dirty aprons but sold food, and the casually dressed middle-aged women who stood at the door and chatted loudly about their parents.

All kinds of scenes are intertwined, which makes Mu Fei have a feeling - has he traveled back to the early nineties?

Because here...... It's just too far behind......

"Mu Fei, look at this ......" While Mu Fei was looking, Zhou Manting patted him on the shoulder and pointed to a small fork in the street, "There are still two streets away from the welfare home, where taxis can't get in, so we can only walk in." Don't waste time, let's go......"

After that, she and Xiao Shi walked in front to lead the way, and Mu Fei followed behind.

And Mu Fei looked at the backward scene around him and felt a lot.

After crossing two streets...... In fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is through two alleys, and Mu Fei and the others came to the door of a two-story small building with a small courtyard. Above the gate of this small courtyard, there is a sign that reads 'Zhongbai District Children's Welfare Institute'.

At this time, there are still many children playing in the courtyard, and these children are not very old, the oldest is only about ten years old.

"It's time to get there......," Zhou Manting pointed inside, "I think the environment here is very bad, I'm surprised, right? Then you should be mentally prepared...... You'll be even more amazed when you see the lives of those children......"

Just as Zhou Manting and Mu Fei were talking, Xiao Shi had already run in.

"Sister Tingting is back, Sister Tingting is back...... Grandpa, Aunt Baobao, Sister Tingting is coming back to see us......" The little stone child was full of playful nature, shouting excitedly, and ran towards the two-story building.

As soon as the children who were playing heard the shouts of the little stones, they all looked at the door, and they were all surprised when they saw Zhou Manting.

"Look, Sister Tingting is really back......"

"Sister Tingting~~"

"Sister Tingting, we miss you so much......"

Then, a group of children ran over laughing and surrounded Zhou Manting in the middle.

"Hehe, Xiaoyudian, have you studied hard lately......"

"Miao Miao, did you learn the song I taught you last time?"

"Little Bean, look at your dirty body, didn't I tell you not to get your clothes dirty......"

“……”

Zhou Manting was like an aunt in a kindergarten at this time, coaxing children.

And even though these children were dirty, she didn't care, she had a bright smile on her face, and it could be seen that she really liked these children.

Originally, Mu Fei thought that Zhou Manting was the kind of ordinary beauty-loving girl who only knew how to be fashionable, dressed up, sang K, and went shopping. But today, Mu Fei's impression of her has changed a little, and it is for the better.

Unexpectedly...... Manting still has such a 'caring' side this week......

It seems that I used to 'underestimate' him......
