On the last day of work, she skillfully sorts parts next to the assembly line. During the last tea break in the afternoon, I received a message from Shang Tan'an: "I'll wait outside your company and pick you up from work." ”

"There's still an hour and a half, is there anything important?"

"No, Grandma Li's affairs are basically done, let's talk about it when we meet."

Scarlet looked up, and the girl in the Xueli district opposite was still telling a collection of jokes with her talkative male colleagues, and the other colleagues were also drinking synthetic drinks and chattering a few words. Scarlet took a sip of her drink, and when Aunt Wang came up, she said a few words briefly, still similar to the past, with a clumsy speech and a dull personality.

Her departure was not said to any of her colleagues. However, this is the case here, everyone recognizes a familiar face because of work, in fact, it is like a stranger, and will not give the truth, one day someone will not do it, and a strange face will be changed, and it is just very accustomed to a new person.

Scarlet stood on the last shift with dedication, pulled off her work clothes in a few clicks, and walked out of the company gate without hesitation.

Shang Tan'an was at the gate, glanced in, and saw a large warehouse in the depths, full of abandoned robots, Scarlet walked towards him quickly, not far behind him were several men and women with decadent faces, all dressed in very ordinary clothes, she was still in the gray dress a few days ago, and she pulled up her back bun.

"Are you tired after work?" Shang Tan'an greeted him.

"It's fine." As she spoke, her colleagues passed by one by one, and she glanced at Shang Tan'an, and she slightly touched the corners of her lips, which was regarded as a compliment.

The girl in Xueli District couldn't hold back the gossip, and after looking at Shang Tan'an, she glanced at the car he parked next to him frequently, and simply stopped to say hello: "Your friend is coming to pick you up?" ”

"Hmm." Scarlet's answer couldn't be shorter, and Shang Tan'an smiled at the girl.

The girl's smile couldn't help but bloom, her eyes wandered over the two of them, and in a moment, she raised her hand very familiarly and waved it twice, and said very politely and sweetly: "Goodbye." ”

Shang Tan'an and the others walked farther away and asked, "Is everything okay here?" Are you going back to where you live to pack your things? ”

"Nothing to collect, but I'm going to go back. Do you have time? We walked over and parking was not convenient over there. ”

"I have time, I told Grandma Li that I will go back a little later today."

"How's Grandma Li's business?"

"I found a family, in the next building, is also an old woman, her husband died last month, she was going to change to a single apartment in a few days, she was reluctant to move, I found her and agreed. Grandma Li is reluctant to go to other people's houses, but this old woman is willing to contact, yesterday I accompanied Grandma Li to see the environment, today at noon we all had dinner together, they chatted very well, and it was decided. Tomorrow I will accompany them to the community to sign a new neighborhood mutual aid contract, and then help the old woman tidy up her house so that Grandma Li can move in. ”

"That's good, Grandma Li's matter will be solved smoothly."

Shang Tan'an shook his head, not very happy: "That old woman is also too old, and she will exceed the age of Shenzhu in two years, I am worried about what Grandma Li will do in two years." Grandma Li was open-minded, saying that she would go to a welfare institution with the old woman two years later. ”

Scarlet thought about it, and there was nothing she could do, she glanced at Shang Tan'an sideways, and when she saw that his eyebrows were not spreading, she kindly relieved: "If it is a grandmother, you can't rest assured." ”

Shang Tan'an looked at her, sighed lightly for a while, and turned his head to look around the environment. It's time to get off work, and people gather at the dormitory from all directions, and the small streets and alleys downstairs are bustling.

Scarlet walked not fast, raised her eyes and swept over the people in front of her one by one, until she walked into the building, she remembered to tell Shang Tan'an: "I live on the third floor, and there are a lot of people inside." ”

Shang Tan'an followed her all the way up to the door of the big room, and couldn't help frowning. The cubicles inside are so dense that you can't see the end at a glance, and the aisles are very narrow, and if you move around a few more people, it will be crowded. He followed Scarlet to the door of a private room, and immediately recognized the door beam that he had glimpsed on the projection screen when he videotaped her.

The neighbors were originally very indifferent, and they usually only glanced at each other, but this time they probably saw a man brought back by Scarlet and glanced at the two of them several times. Shang Tan'an saw those people, dressed very casually, and there was even one person who was five big and three thick, with his shirt open, his head and face were unkempt, his beard was green, and he twisted his neck to look at him undisguisedly.

His face did not move, and when Scarlet opened the door and looked in, he scanned all the small single rooms at a glance, even if he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned, and almost only one bed in the whole room was considered a large piece.

"Come in, or ......" The room was too small, and Scarlet was about to let Shang Tan'an choose by himself, so Shang Tan'an stepped in, closed the door, stared down at Scarlet, and said in a low voice: "How do you live in this kind of place?" ”

"Convenience." Seeing Shang Tan'an's disapproving face, Scarlet added, "As long as you don't talk less and know how to integrate into the rules, you'll be fine." ”

Shang Tan'an was surprised, and glanced at Scarlet a few times.

This is what my father taught, of course, there is a slight discrepancy in the original words, and my father said this: "If you don't want to say more, then it's good to say less and watch more, and you can walk in all directions if you understand the rules." ”

In the future, the two of them will go to Luowang to open up the wasteland together, and Scarlet will give Shang Tan'an his father's golden and jade words to Shang Tan'an: "Learn to integrate, you can go anywhere." ”

Shang Tan'an smiled half-heartedly and snorted. The two of them stood at the square foot of the door, and the room was suddenly cramped as if they couldn't turn away. Scarlet pointed to the edge of the bed: "You sit over there, I'll clean up." ”

"I'll help you." Shang Tan'an said busily.

"No, I'll do it myself. You go and sit down, it's a small place. Scarlet apologized, "You have to wait a minute, the morning time is tight, I haven't had time to clean up, and it will be fine soon." ”

Shang Tan'an couldn't help, so he sat down on the edge of the bed as he said, only watching Scarlet open the cabinet door and take out a few clothes, all black or gray, with almost no bright colors.

He opened his mouth, then closed his mouth, politely looking away, looking away.

"Give it up again." Scarlet walked over and said.

Shang Tan'an hurriedly stood up again, moved to the end of the bed, and watched her reach under the pillow and find a topaz comb.

"Alright, we can go."

"Let's see if there's anything left behind," he said softly, "and it won't come if it's gone." ”

As soon as Scarlet was reminded, she paused and thought for a moment, then folded back to the side of the bed again, bent down and pulled out the whole sheet and rolled it up.

Shang Tan'an looked at it in her eyes, and didn't say much, only after she put it away, she asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No, I'm going to another place."

"Okay." Shang Tan'an nodded, reached out and lifted Scarlet's backpack.

The two opened the door and went out, walked through the chaotic corridor, and took the elevator to the basement. A cacophony of voices mixed with the smell of heat rushed to the door.
