Outside the Jinhui Hotel

The assistant stood next to the car and gave the room card to Ye Ling and Lin Yan.

"I hope you two have a great night."

"Thank you."

Ye Ling nodded and dragged his salute to the hotel, and Lin Yan nodded frantically to the assistant behind him and followed behind Ye Ling.

The assistant called Dong Yongquan to report after seeing the two enter the hotel, and then got into the car and left.

"The card directly drops the door lock."

Ye Ling couldn't help frowning when he saw Lin Yan fiddling with the room card, seeing that she really didn't know how to open the door like this, and kindly reminded her.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yan shrank his neck as if he had seen a wild wolf, as if he was very afraid.

Ye Ling glanced at her coldly, opened the door and entered the room, ignoring Lin Yan.

She has already said what she should say, and the rest depends on Lin Yan herself.

Lin Yan hurriedly fiddled with the room card, and dripped it according to Ye Ling's method, and the door opened automatically.

The hotels she has been to are all opened with keys, rarely open with cards, and I was a little surprised to see it for the first time.

Ye Ling was lying on the bed, his stomach gurgling.

She hadn't eaten since she got on the plane, and she got off the plane and went straight to the hotel.

Ye Ling got up from the bed, and wanted to call the waiter, but thinking that she hadn't been to S City for a long time, she also wanted to go shopping.

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Yan also came out of the room, his hand touching his stomach and gurgling.

"If you're hungry, you can call the waiter and ask them to bring food, and we're all contracted by the company for this business trip."

Ye Ling looked at Lin Yan, she was surprised when she saw Ye Ling, and subconsciously hid behind the door.

If you don't know, you still think that Ye Ling is a tigress that scares people like this.

Lin Yan is like a weak little white rabbit at the moment, while Ye Ling is domineering, like a wild wolf that eats people and does not spit out bones.

The waiter pushed the cart past and looked at it from time to time, looking like an unscrupulous boss was bullying his subordinates.

Ye Ling turned around and went outside, Lin Yan was stunned.

High-rise buildings, bustling around, this place is very different from when she came a few years ago.

The street lamps shine on the ground, people come and go, and the cool breeze blows, which is slightly cool.

Ten years ago, this area has not been developed, surrounded by earthen houses and low stilt houses, and a bunch of stalls, there is no subway and no bus around, I didn't expect it to develop rapidly in just a few years, if she bought a land here or something like that, now it may be the farmer's name turned over and sang, and the rich people who live out of it don't worry about food and clothing and can live by collecting some rent every month.

"It's a big change."

Ye Ling couldn't help but sigh, there were commercial streets all around, and she couldn't see anything other than high-rise buildings and a group of beautifully dressed people.

"Sell pancakes, sell pancakes."

A voice attracted Ye Ling's attention, and when he turned his head, an old woman was still in a stroller in front of the stall, and there was a baby lying in it, and the stroller was tied to the pancake cart with a rope, and the old woman put the child at her feet, shouting and taking care of it.

From time to time, I wipe the child's mouth with a piece of paper and stuff the bottle into the child's mouth.

The child babbles and plays with the bottle as a toy, laughing from time to time.

Ye Ling remembered that she had also seen this old woman when she came with her parents, but at that time there was a girl who was in high school next to the old woman, who looked about the same age as her, sitting on that shabby chair with glasses and looking down to read seriously, at that time her mother also said that other people's daughters worked hard, because of this matter, she went back to study and finally took the first exam, but for her mother, it was normal for her to take the first exam, and it was not normal if she didn't take the first exam.

It's because it's too positive

Often, her mother always thought that the first place was easy.

"Old woman, bring me a pancake."

Ye Ling approached, took out the money from his wallet and handed it to the old woman.

"Okay, girl, you'll be there."

The old woman said in an authentic dialect, and the speed in her hand was also fast, so she wrapped the pancakes and handed them to Ye Ling in three or two clicks.

Ye Ling took a bite, still a familiar taste.

"Old woman, is this your granddaughter?"

"Yes, this is my granddaughter's name Miao Miao, her mother doesn't have time to take me here for a few days, woo Miao Miao is good."

The old woman coaxed, her face full of happiness.

Ye Ling bit the pancake, the old woman has been here for more than ten years, and even the price of pork has risen, but the price of the things in her stall has not increased, and it is still the price of more than ten years ago.

Such a conscientious price is already rare.

It has developed into a first-tier city, and the rent is expensive and everything, and the price of the old woman has not risen at all.

"Two more."

Ye Ling stuffed the last bite into her mouth and clapped her hands, the old woman looked at Ye Ling with some surprise, she looked petite and didn't eat so much.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Ling couldn't help but ask when she saw the old woman looking at her, the old woman shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"The girl is from out of town, the security here is not very good these days, you should pay attention to the beauty of a girl, if someone borrows a mobile phone from you and asks you for money to eat, remember not to believe it."

The old woman muttered, and Ye Ling sneered.

"Okay, I got it."

"Don't dislike my wife, I'm concerned about you, I've lived here for more than 20 years, I'm familiar with this area, and the security here is really not good recently."

The old woman explained, for fear that Ye Ling would not believe what she said.

"Don't dislike it, I love what you say."

"Come, two."

The old woman handed the pancakes to Ye Ling, and Ye Ling took out a red hairy grandfather from his wallet.

"Ouch, this is a bit big, I can't find it, these two will be invited to you, you eat quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold."

The old woman advised, Ye Ling squinted and smiled: "You can take this money, maybe I will come over tomorrow to eat and the day after tomorrow, I will eat you two or three a day this week, maybe a hundred is not enough." ”

The old woman stuffed the money into Ye Ling's hand, and Ye Ling stuffed the money back again.

The child in the stroller was babbling and laughing, and her little hands were stretched out as if she liked Ye Ling very much and wanted to play with her.

Ye Ling approached the child, stretched out his finger, and the child grasped it, babbling.

The little hands are soft, like a sponge.

"Girl, have you ever been to S City before, I see that you look a little familiar."

The old woman asked, she couldn't forget such a beautiful girl at a glance.

Even after a long time, some things will not change, such as eyes and temperament.

She had seen a child who looked very similar to Ye Ling many years ago.

"Yes, with my parents."

Ye Ling nodded and admitted, and the old woman sighed: "That's the old woman's mistake, the little girl who came back was a little boy next to her, the two of them are beautiful, and the little girl is a bit like you." ”

The old woman looked at Ye Ling's appearance and said kindly.

"That's not me, I've only been here with my parents once, and my dad came here on a business trip to take me and my mom by the way."

As soon as the sound fell, only a voice broke into the ears of the two of them, and a girl in a trench coat, stepping on high heels, and wearing brown-framed glasses hurriedly walked over.

"Mom, why did you bring Miao Miao out again, what if Miao Miao was taken away by bad people."

The girl shouted at her mother, picked up her child from the car, and looked at Ye Ling as vigilantly as a trafficker.

Ye Ling was slightly stunned and stood up straight.

"No, no, no, I'll take care of Miao Miao, aren't you going to work overtime today, why did you come back so early."

The old woman also looked kind when she saw her daughter angry, as if she didn't know what anger was.

"I'm worried about Miao Miao, so come over and take a look, Mom, you don't have to worry about Miao Miao's affairs, just take care of yourself, I'll hire a nanny for Miao Miao to let the nanny take care of it, will you continue to sell your pancakes?" Miao Miao is so young, you take her out to sell pancakes, everyone in this area knows you, you take Miao Miao out like this, after Miao Miao goes to school, they all know that she has a grandmother who sells pancakes, where do you let me put my face, you are reluctant to put your little stall by yourself, don't let my daughter follow. ”

The woman sprinkled her anger on the old woman, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

She wants to give her daughter a good life, and she doesn't want her daughter to be labeled as a mother like her.

She is now out of school, has a family, and can teach her children well.

"But, but the TV said that the nanny can't do it, they will bully Miao Miao."

The old woman said nervously that she was very opposed to finding a nanny.

"Those are all said on TV, how can it be that every nanny is like that, in short, you don't have to worry about Miao Miao's affairs, I will take care of it, and if you bring Miao Miao out in the future, I... I changed the locks at home, and you don't want to see Miao Miao in the future. ”

The woman threatened, and the child in her arms whimpered and cried, as if frightened by the woman's momentum.

"Really, it's not worrying at all."

The woman complained, hugged the child and turned away, muttering before leaving.

The old woman froze in place and kept calling the woman's name, but the woman never even looked back.

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, the nanny really can't do it."

"The person has already gone away, and she can't hear her again."

Ye Ling reminded that the old woman was a little embarrassed, and laughed twice to break the embarrassing atmosphere.

"The girl made you laugh, my daughter is so grumpy, I guess she was murdered by the boss today so that's why it's like this, it's okay, it's okay."

"Your daughter has a lot of personality."

Ye Ling sat on the bench and boasted.

"She has been so stubborn since she was a child, her family is big and small is her award, if she takes the second exam, she will reflect on it for a night and then study hard to get back to the first."

"My daughter is my pride."

The old woman sat on the bench and took out a thermos cup and poured herself a cup of tea, her eyes wandering, thinking of the past.

"The consumption here is high and the rent is expensive, my daughter and her husband's house is still rented, and they stutter every month, and the children's milk powder and diapers are all money, if I don't come out to earn some subsidies, how can I live this life."

The old woman sighed heavily, her life was very stressful.

She wants to make more money while she can still know how to work, she still has a house of more than ten square meters here, and when she is too old to move, she will sell the house and go back to the countryside to buy a cottage.
