There are many old factories in the eastern suburbs, and there are many shantytowns caused by historical problems, so it is very difficult for fire trucks to rush to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, the factory here also has its own fire hydrants, and with the help of the neighbors, the fire quickly weakened, and half an hour later, there was only a faint black smoke left to announce the previous disaster.

After Chen Yixin and Wei Zhong finished their homework, they also went to the intersection to take a look, and were relieved to make sure that the fire had not spread.

"Xinxin, Wei Zhong, why are you here, I heard about that?"

"What's the matter? Wei Zhong and I finished our homework and came out to take a look. ”

It was students from other classes, also children from the machine factory. He glanced left and right, leaning closer to the two and lowering his voice.

"I've heard that the student in your class set the fire. ”

Chen Yixin's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Don't talk nonsense, this is not a trivial matter!"

Arson is already a criminal case, and most of the students in their class are over 16 years old, and if they really set fire, they will be sentenced.

"Really, my classmates in the Red Light Factory told me just now. It seems that it was the one in your class who reported others for cheating, and this time he didn't get the top 18, and then he was assigned to class seven. His dad took a belt and whipped him, and for some reason, the guy went to the classmate's house in class 5 and set a fire. Fortunately, there was no gas tank in that house, it was burned honeycomb coal, otherwise it would have been a large area. ”

Chen Yixin heard a cold sweat on her back, she really couldn't imagine how narrow-minded she had to be to do such a thing, and it was someone else he reported, others didn't retaliate against him, and he actually did evil again.

Wei Zhong also gasped, and turned his head to look back: "I said what happened today, the family area behind me is not good." ”

This matter is no longer an ordinary dispute, and they can't even think about what kind of situation the fireproof classmate is facing.

When I went back, I heard the sound of scolding and smashing things from the innermost part, and many people were rushing over there, and even the factory security department was dispatched.

Chen Yixin and Wei Zhong glanced at each other, glad that they would be able to move next month. Although the family area is full of human touch, it is also full of various accidents.

At noon the next day, when the little uncle came to see Chen's mother with food, he was still talking about it.

"It was a small thing, and it ended up like this. The other party's family is clamoring for compensation from the family in your factory, and the amount is not small, and now the two families have fought twice. ”

The sister and brother took two small horses and put them on the wall and ate them.

"Sister, how is your business here?"

"It's okay, there are few stationery sellers here, and it's not as good as mine. I've already bought the goods ten times, and I'm almost familiar with the wholesale market, so I'll be able to get it ready for me with a phone call in the future, and I'll just pick it up. ”

Chen's mother was originally a capable person, but she didn't have this condition before, so she could only leave the house chattering, now she can be regarded as finding her own value in life, and she feels more like a hot time when she starts doing things.

"My brother-in-law is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, when the two sisters of his family come to you, you must be stable. The little uncle said casually, without even glancing at Chen's mother.

"I understand, you go after eating and do your thing. Do it well, but don't get into a fight. Chen's mother glanced at her younger brother and said with some hesitation, "Binzi, do you still want to study?" If you want to, I heard that there is an adult college entrance examination or a self-examination or something, do you want to try it?"

Liu Bin paused for a moment and grinned: "I'll talk about it later, I'm busy now, and I don't have time to get this." ”

"Cheng, you just have to know it in your own heart. Chen's mother took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and stuffed it to her younger brother, "You take this money first, a big man must have a party outside, and he has to give people a cigarette." Your brother-in-law is a simple person, sometimes he doesn't speak well, don't take it to heart. ”

Liu Bin said where can it be, my sister and wife are good, he understands.

"Sister, that factory should be down. Xin Xin asked not to use our name to be the legal representative, so I asked my buddy to let him out, and privately got an equity agreement and made it notarized. You beware, don't be fooled. ”

Liu Bin threw away the garbage after eating, helped his sister tidy up the stationery on the stall, and rode away on his bicycle.

Chen's mother's stall is open a little longer at noon and in the afternoon, in the morning she has to take advantage of the students' class to go to the stock, and in the afternoon she has to rush home to cook the food, and when she closes the stall and goes back, it will be seven or eight o'clock, just get some leftovers and send it away.

Although she is busy, Chen's mother is now more energetic, and her speech is not as harsh as before, and the whole person glows with a kind of brilliance, which makes Chen's father feel a little drumming in his heart.

Chen Yixin would help her mother guard the stall when she was out of school in the afternoon, put her homework on the small table of dinner, and wait until dinner to go to school for evening self-study, without the embarrassment of being seen at all.

"Mother Chen, classmate Chen Yixin, I have good news to tell you in advance. ”

When Teacher Cheng came out of the school, she saw the mother and daughter of the Chen family at a stall on the side of the building diagonally opposite the school gate.

"Chen Yixin's essay has won the award, the provincial first prize. This is what the city researcher told me, and the specific report may not arrive at the school until tomorrow. "Teacher Cheng is very happy that the students she mentored won awards, and she could also win the instructor award.

"In addition, the provincial first prize can voluntarily participate in the national finals, and the essay needs to be written separately, do you want to participate?"

This essay contest is national, but it is also divided into preliminary finals, and the preliminary round is held in the province, and the provincial first prize can participate in the national finals.

"Well, then I have to trouble Mr. Cheng to help me revise the composition. Chen Yixin had already felt that he might enter the finals, and the content to be written in the finals had been thought out, and the drafts were also available, so he only needed to organize the language again and ask the teacher to help polish it.

For the national essay final, Chen Yixin plans to write "The Impact of Environmental Protection on the World".

This topic is not easy to control, after all, the Internet is only beginning to sprout at this time, and it is more difficult for her to collect information, but if she thinks in reverse, she will definitely win the award if she writes this topic.

Their school is a children's school of the factory, and environmental protection is more important to them. The demolition and reconstruction in the past two years has been carried out to protect the environment.

She was born in the eastern suburbs and grew up in the eastern suburbs, and everything here can only be described in her memory by two words: "dirty". Later, the welfare housing began, the shantytown gradually disappeared, and now in addition to a few stubborn old factories that refuse to move out, several new small factories have responded to the call to move out of the eastern suburbs.

Their new house is in the northwest, which was originally farmland, and later converted into a residential area, and there are two primary and secondary schools and a hospital nearby, which is definitely much better than here in terms of environment.

As soon as she finished talking to Teacher Cheng, Chen's mother was overjoyed, and before she could praise her daughter, she saw her sister-in-law coming over with a vegetable basket and looking at their mother and daughter with a smile.
