As soon as they got off the train, they from the fourth-tier small county town were stunned, the square was full of people, all the people came from all over the world, and the people who picked up the station were simply holding all kinds of signs in their hands, and some people were even holding loudspeakers and shouting.

"Doesn't this look like when we go to the market in our hometown?" Ziyi's father, Lao Xuan, looked inexplicably excited, and finally showed a happy smile on his face after a long absence. Ziyi's mother also chimed in.

Xuan Ziyi felt a lot of comfort in her heart, and she came to the right place in Shenzhen.

"Where are we going now?" When the two old men said this, their excitement dropped. Yes, without relatives, where should they go? Helpless eyes stared at Xuan Ziyi.

Xuan Ziyi's heart trembled slightly. She understands that her parents will be children from now on, and she is the pillar of the family. She must be responsible for answering parents' questions at all times.

She took out the map from her yellow backpack, and she finally found the place she had seen in the newspaper - Shekou.

Yes, she studied the newspapers, which said that Shekou was a place with potential.

She instructed her parents to drag their luggage in the direction of Shenzhen's largest bus hub. She looked back at the words "Shenzhen Station" again, and unconsciously clenched her fists.

Finally sat down

When I got off the train, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, compared to the prosperity I saw at the train station, except for the overcrowding, it was all densely packed with private houses, one next to the other, which seemed so crowded.

Xuan Ziyi swept past the tattered and varied storefronts. Finally saw a store that said "Real Estate Agency." She stepped forward, her parents following closely behind her.

"Looking for a house". A middle-aged fat woman who spoke not very fluent Mandarin warmly received them, and two large golden circle earrings kept dangling in front of Ziyi's eyes.

"Yes, I want to rent." Ziyi, speaking Mandarin with a hometown accent, earnestly asked the fat woman for help.

"I have all kinds of houses here, what do you want? Little girl, rest assured, we are sincere in our business" fat woman is indeed very real.

"How much are you willing to pay for rent?" I don't know the market when you first came, but our ordinary houses here are about 500-1500 yuan. Charges are charged according to the decoration and facilities of the house. ”

"All we need is a room and a place to cook." Xuan Ziyi thought for a while and replied.

"Do public kitchens and public restrooms accept them?" The fat woman then asked, it must not be easy for her to figure out this family, looking at the innocence of the little girl, there was pity in her heart.

"What does a $500 room look like?" Xuan Ziyi finally asked directly, because she knew that her parents had paid off some of her brother's debts, and there was not much left on her.

Before her parents went out, they told her that there were only more than 2,000 yuan, and all the money she spent working during the summer vacation added up, which was only 2,000 Wu Bai yuan.

"It's about 20 square meters, with a big bed, a cabinet, and no special kitchen room or stove. Bathrooms and toilets are shared. The fat woman replied earnestly.

"Otherwise, I'll take you to see it, your things can be left here, it's too heavy." The fat woman said as she wanted to call someone to help with their things.

"No, we can take it ourselves." Ziyi's parents are vigilant after all, and they just have a lot of belongings, what if they lose it.

The middle-aged fat woman seemed to see Ziyi's parents' thoughts, so she no longer demanded it.

"Follow me, I'll show you."

Ziyi and the three of them followed behind the middle-aged fat woman and walked into a dirtier street. An unpleasant smell came to her nose, and Xuan Ziyi almost wanted to vomit.

After passing through the narrow streets, I finally entered a house.

"Uncle Li, someone is looking at the house." The middle-aged fat woman was shouting in Cantonese as she entered the door.

Soon, a shriveled little old man appeared in front of Xuan Ziyi and his family, wearing a dark blue tunic, his hair was slightly white, and although his face was dark and thin, the whole person looked refreshing and clean, which was not annoying.

The little old man looked Xuan Ziyi's family of three up and down for a few moments, and then walked straight with them. There are too many houses densely built, and the upstairs and downstairs are all hung with all kinds of clothes to dry, some of which are still dripping with water. The ropes on which the clothes were dried were tied to a railing at one end, to a tree at one end, and to two different window lattices at two ends. It looks like wires criss-cross.

"Are there only three of you?" The little old man's Mandarin is quite standard.

"Yes, there are three of us." Ziyi replied seriously.

"It's from Shanxi." The little old man was full of confidence when he asked this, as if he could confirm that they were from Hebei. Ziyi nodded.

"I've been there for a few years and I'm familiar with the accent." After the little old man finished speaking, a smile began to pile up in his eyes.

At last they came to the door of a room, and the little old man opened the key. When I went in, the house was about 20 square meters, and the room was fairly clean.

There is a large bed board in the room, and a large mattress is laid upside down on the bed board. There is an old cabinet directly opposite the large bed. There was only one window in the whole room, which looked a bit dark.

The little old man flipped the switch of the light, and the whole room emitted a warm yellow light. Ziyi felt that the light was like home. He glanced at his parents and nodded.

"That's it, can we buy our own cooking with an induction cooker or something?" Ziyi asked the little old man.

"Yes, anyway, the electricity bill is paid separately, and I installed an electricity meter in each room."

"Pay three or pay one?" Ziyi asked directly.

"Normally, we pay two to one." The middle-aged fat woman spoke, and the little old man opened his mouth and was interrupted by the fat woman.

"Okay, then pay one." Ziyi calculated, and the current money is just enough. Looking at her parents' tired faces, she really didn't want to look at it anymore.

At this time, Ziyi's parents breathed a sigh of relief and had already put their luggage on the ground.

"Then I'll sign a contract with you and let my parents stay and clean up the room." Ziyi took the small bag, because the small bag contained all the property given to her by her parents more than 3,000 yuan.

"This room is super cost-effective, the same room next door costs at least 650, it's not as clean as this, Old Man Li is easier to talk to." The middle-aged fat woman chattered back along the way she came.

Ziyi followed her back to her agency, and after a while, the little old man also came over with his ID card.

The middle-aged woman took out a few pieces of paper and said, "The agency fee is one month's rent, and you both pay half of it." ”

Ziyi didn't bargain, the little old man didn't say anything, and the two sides quickly signed. Ziyi paid off 1,700 Wu Shi Yuan. She knew that the money left was only enough for the family of three to stay for two months, and if she couldn't find a job, then they would be left empty.

When she returned to the rented house, her parents had almost cleaned up.
