Although they took the exact address of Duan Feiyu's home and really drove to the vicinity, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan still spent a lot of effort to finally find the approximate direction, because that area is too old, many streets are very narrow, like chicken intestines, there are no clear road signs, and most of the buildings are almost the same, small buildings ranging from three to five floors, but they are not the so-called "patchwork town" that real estate developers are keen to promote, or "the last low-rise building in the elevator forest". The buildings in this vicinity, probably at the beginning of construction, are three or five stories high-rise, and they can be regarded as developed and fashionable high-rise buildings in City A, looking at the black cement walls, as well as the wooden window frames that are almost rare, and the rusty and almost crumbling open-air balconies on the periphery of the balconies on individual small buildings, it is almost conceivable that when this residential area was just built here, the surroundings should still be flattened. Surrounded by houses, on the first floor of those small buildings, there are still mottled paint words on the walls, some of which are written "grain and oil", some are written "haircut", and there is also a house with the words "Caifang Haberdashery" written on the window.

Of course, the only thing that remains now is these brushes on the walls, so there are no clean paint words that are completely unpolished, those original small shops have long since ceased to exist, leaving dirty, black windows, Fang Yuan remembered, when she was young, there were many such small shops around the old house of the family, at that time, no matter where you lived, there would be all kinds of small shops in every residential area, here are haircuts and head shaving. There is a daily Xiaobai, and there are good sewing skills, and he has converted the house on the first floor into a tailor's shop. Whoever has clothes and pants that need to be repaired and modified, or want to cut clothes with fabric, pass them through the window, or go into the house to measure the body, in short, each residential area has a small business atmosphere, and these are the most rustic small business districts composed of surrounding residents, with the development of the economy. Large department stores, large supermarkets, and high-end chain stores are blooming everywhere. It is difficult to see that even if there are still shops around residential areas that have been converted into ordinary first-floor houses, most of them are rented out to others. And not the homeowner's own little livelihood. The difference is still very big.

So seeing those words, Fang Yuan suddenly thought, maybe the residents who originally lived here were not the group of people who had a worrying living standard in City A, but with the development and change of the economy, the development focus of the urban area has slowly shifted to a more convenient and developed new business district. People's consumption concept has also changed from the cheapness of street shops to the pursuit of brand quality, so the decline here is falling day by day.

It's like the state-owned enterprise where Duan Feiyu's parents work. It used to be a famous large enterprise in City A, if anyone's children can go there to work, they will even make the surrounding neighbors and relatives envious, Fang Yuan also has a distant relative in the family, crying and shouting that he wanted to find a way to go to work in that factory, but in the end it didn't work out, he was annoyed for a long time, but it's a pity, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, in a blink of an eye, the distant relative of Fang Yuan's family is already a small businessman, and those state-owned factory workers who were envied by him back then, But there are many who are facing the dilemma of Duan Feiyu's parents.

It is also a change, and the part of the people who slowly become prosperous from unsmooth is of course satisfied, and can even begin to be qualified to remember the bittersweet and sweet, so what about those workers who once had a good income, a good job, and were envied? For example, Duan Feiyu's parents, ten years ago, they were the group that was envied, but today, on the one hand, they are reluctant to get a job in a state-owned enterprise, and on the other hand, they have to make a living. What kind of state of mind will they have in their hearts? Will there be unwillingness? Will there be an imbalance? Will it be cynical? Will this kind of emotional outpouring or verbal expression affect the child?

When those students talked about Duan Feiyu, they used a lot of adjectives, such as eccentric, such as arrogant, such as frightening, although no one denied that Duan Feiyu's academic performance was not bad in the class, but when it came to personality, there were no too positive adjectives left.

A person's personality, of course, has the congenital inheritance of that part of the factor, but the acquired living environment, parental education and influence are also another crucial factor, so seeing the environment near Duan Feiyu's home, think about the current situation of Duan Feiyu's parents, including Dai Xu also said that Duan Feiyu's parents behaved very unfriendly on the phone, could it be that this family is full of angry people?

As soon as she thought of Rao Hai, Zhang Chao and their students mentioning that there had been a wooden man in Duan Feiyu's hands, Fang Yuan always felt that there must be some kind of connection between the two, what it was, she didn't dare to guess too specifically, for fear that because of her preconceived opinions, it would affect her judgment later.

After several twists and turns, after stopping and asking for directions a few times, Dai Xu finally found the right direction, but in the end, he could only park the car on the side of the road, and then walked over with Fang Yuan and the two of them, because the road conditions leading to Duan Feiyu's house were really bad, not to mention the narrowness of the road, the original asphalt road was run over by cars over the years, coupled with the winter frost, rain and snow, it had already been broken and messy, making a pit, another pit, and the open space in front of the building was even narrower, and it might be easier to walk on a motorcycle, drive over, Even if you can barely drive in, if you want to exit again, I'm afraid it will be more difficult, so it is better to walk over more efficiently.

The two people got out of the car and walked forward for a while, and encountered a big puddle, as if there was a problem with the sewage well near here, causing the sewage to flow back, and a large pit on the road covered a pool of water, dirty, and exuding a faint smell, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan were around the side, stepping on a few bricks that others had laid there before before they barely passed, in the process someone rode a bicycle over, they had to hit the puddle next to it, and if they were not careful, they would be thrown off a pants of dirty water.

"Don't Duan Feiyu's parents have to go out to sell burritos every day." After Fang Yuan walked over, he looked back at the big puddle on the way in and out, "Every day, I go back and forth from here. It's not easy. ”

"Yes, it's not easy to live." Dai Xu nodded and sighed.

Fang Yuan knew why he was sighing, in fact, he also had the same thoughts as himself, but once such a result came true, it would be for this already struggling family. The blow is almost fatal.

After all, it is said that children are the future and hope of a family, not to mention that Duan Feiyu still has outstanding academic performance and will have such a good future. For a poor family, the hope that such a child can bring to them is even greater and stronger.

The two of them found Duan Feiyu's house. The building where Duan Feiyu's house was located had a total of five floors. It is no longer the oldest and most dilapidated around, and their family lives on the second floor, it is estimated that such a floor was chosen in the first place to facilitate the entry and exit of Duan Feiyu's grandfather and grandmother, after all, it is also very inconvenient for the old man to go up and down, and the unit door has long been broken, leaving only a bare door frame, plus two rusty folds left there. Let those who come know that there was indeed a door here. The stairwell is also very dark, the cement staircase steps have not been paved with any tiles, over the years have been walked around, the surface has been ground very smooth, even the edge of the stairs has been polished very rounded, no longer the original acute angle, two people rubbed up to the second floor, honest one ladder and three households of the building pattern, three looks a little thin next to the anti-theft door are pasted with the Spring Festival posted blessing words and couplets, there are many layers of small advertising stickers, there is no house number at all.

Dai Xu speculated according to the usual order, then stood in front of the door of the middle house, raised his hand and knocked on the door, the door panel was not thick, and the knocking was a little empty.

"It's coming, it's coming!" An old lady's voice sounded in the door, from far and near, she should have heard the knock on the door, so she immediately greeted her, and after stumbling for a while, the door lock was opened with a click, and the door opened a crack, and an old lady who looked like she was eighty years old poked her head out, looked curiously at the two people outside the door, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Auntie, hello, is this Duan Feiyu's home?" Dai Xu asked.

"Huh? What did you say? The old lady put her hand behind her ear, "I didn't hear clearly." ”

"I said, auntie, hello, is this Duan Feiyu's home?" Dai Xu knew that the old man was old and his ears were a little back, so he raised his voice and asked again.

"Eh! Oh, yes! Oh, yes! This is Duan Feiyu's family, I am Duan Feiyu's grandmother! As soon as Duan Feiyu was mentioned, the old lady immediately squinted her eyes and laughed, obviously full of pride in her eldest grandson.

Usually the old people with their ears behind their ears have one thing in common, that is, they themselves can't hear others clearly, and at the same time, they always think that others can't hear their own words clearly, so they speak with a very loud voice, this old lady is the same, don't look at the figure, answer Dai Xu's question, it is full of energy, the voice is very loud, as she responded, there was a sound of kicking and tapping footsteps in the house, and a middle-aged woman who looked like she was in her early fifties ran out of the house, Seeing that the old lady was talking to two strangers with the door open, she was startled, and hurriedly came over to ask, she first pulled the old lady aside, and complained: "Mom, look at you, how many times have I told you, don't open the door without asking!" There are a lot of bad people these days, when your son and I are not at home, just you and my dad, what if you meet bad people! ”

"Bad people, bad people," the old lady didn't buy it at all, she replied in a loud voice, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan outside the voice door could be heard clearly, "As long as you are so suspicious all day long, this bad person, that bad person, as if there are no good people in this world, I think there are still many good people!" Moreover, people are here to find my grandson, and they even know Feiyu's name, can this be fake? ”

Obviously, that middle-aged woman was Duan Feiyu's mother, and she felt very helpless about Duan Feiyu's grandmother's opinion, but after all, the old man was relatively old, and there were people waiting outside the door, so she couldn't say anything, so she had to sigh, and didn't argue with the old lady about whether there were more good people or bad people, and shifted her attention to the door, looked Dai Xu and Fang Yuan up and down, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Dai Xu took out his ID and handed it over, Fang Yuan also took advantage of Duan Feiyu's mother to check Dai Xu's ID by the way, and secretly looked at the other party.

Duan Feiyu's mother looks a little older than Ke Xiaowen's parents and Wu Shuqin, with half-open curly hair, hastily tucked behind her head, tied in a small pigtail that is not long, wearing a knitted sweater with some fluffy cuffs, and an apron tied around her waist, exuding this faint fragrance on her body, but it is not a skin care product, let alone a perfume, it is the smell of vegetables that have just been stir-fried in the kitchen and then contaminated.

When I thought about it when I was looking for someone to inquire at the factory, what that person said seemed to be quite accurate, it was obvious that Duan Feiyu's mother Fang Cai was busy in the kitchen preparing to go out to buy side dishes for burritos for a while, and heard the voice of Duan Feiyu's grandmother opening the door to ask others, so she felt very relieved, and hurriedly came out to take a look, just as they spoke, Fang Yuan could still faintly hear the sound of clanging, it should be Duan Feiyu's father who was still busy in the kitchen.

"What are you police doing with me?" Duan Feiyu's mother was a little nervous, looked at Dai Xu nervously, and asked, even Dai Xu's certificate was in her hand, and she forgot to return it, "My son has taken leave at school, and he has not been innocently absent from school, and this matter is ...... It's not that serious, is it? ”

"Oh, that's not the case, eldest sister, you may have misunderstood," Dai Xu said to Duan Feiyu's mother with a smile, "It's not because Duan Feiyu took a long vacation, it's a classmate of Duan Feiyu, something happened, we are now entrusted by the family to understand the situation, Duan Feiyu usually has some friendship with that student, so we want to ask Duan Feiyu to see if we can help, but Duan Feiyu took a long vacation, we had to come to the house to ask, maybe he mentioned something to you." ”

"That kid has a relationship with my son?" Duan Feiyu's mother seemed a little surprised when she heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally dodged the door, saying, "Then don't block at the door, let's talk first." (To be continued......)
