Chapter 949: The Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

The slums are home to many houses, and the houses are like people leaning on each other, and countless houses are crowded together, and the space between the houses becomes very limited.

There is garbage everywhere on the ground, and a lot of garbage is blown by the wind, and the dirty water on the ground has stained the ground black.

There is a suffocating smell everywhere, the environment here is not good, even the air is not smooth.

This kind of place, most people try to stay away from it, and they are reluctant to approach.

Only people who are really difficult to live in will be forced to move to such a place.

This place is like an abandoned city, isolated from the rest of the world.

Gu Manman couldn't help lowering his eyes, if Teacher Tang's son really lived in such an environment, how hard would it be?

She couldn't help but glance at Tang Xiaohong, who was full of worry, Teacher Tang was also worried now, right?

Tang Xiaohong looked at the slum in front of her and sighed.

"When I first entered Kyoto, I saw all the bustling city. The main streets reflect a completely different scene from the countryside. I even thought that this was a big city, and this was what a big city should look like. ”

The excitement on her face gradually faded into nothing: "However, until I saw this, I realized that it was not like this." ”

When she first entered Kyoto, she felt that every tree and tree was prosperous, and there were many high-rise buildings, which was a scene she had never seen in the countryside.

She even thought that her son would live well in such a big city, and he would definitely be better off than her.

But......

When she saw the slum scene in front of her, she felt that it was not like this.

The slums here are much better than they were in the village, but now the village has been transformed and is very different from what it used to be.

Even their country is better off now than this slum.

"Mr. Tang, there will be a gap between the rich and the poor in every place, and it is not that there is no prosperous Kyoto. As long as you are healthy, you are the greatest wealth. ”

Gu Manman couldn't help but comfort Tang Xiaohong.

Tang Xiaohong bowed his head and hid all the worries in his eyes: "Well, you're right, as long as you're healthy!" ”

Gu Zichen looked at a small notebook the size of a palm, on which Tang Minzhe's residence was clearly registered.

He and Li Zichen walked in front to lead the way, and followed the number plate on the side to find Tang Minzhe's residence.

Eventually, they found his place in the last building.

"Mommy, this is the building."

Gu Manman helped Tang Xiaohong, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead: "Well, how many floors!" ”

It's a bit big here, and it's almost dizzying them all around.

And after walking so many roads, Tang Xiaohong began to pant constantly.

Gu Zichen closed the small notebook in his hand, and then put it in his pocket.

"Top floor, 15th floor."

The corners of Gu Manman's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the dilapidated building in front of him: "The 15th floor? These houses should not have elevators, right? ”

Li Zichen shook his head: "No, I have just seen it, none of the buildings here have elevators." ”

She helped Tang Xiaohong to the chair on the side: "Teacher Tang, you can rest for a while." Wait until you climb 15 floors, so keep up some stamina. ”

"I'm not resting, let's go straight up."

Tang Xiaohong shook her head and stood up from the chair.

She wanted to see her son as soon as possible and see if he was doing well.

"But you've been gone for a long time, so let's rest first."

Gu Manman was still very worried.

Tang Xiaohong insisted again and again, "No, I don't rest, I have to go up early." I've got to see my kid, I'm going to see how he's doing......"

"Okay then."

Looking at Tang Xiaohong, who had repeatedly insisted, Gu Manman had no choice but to help her and rush into the building.

The long staircase looks like a ladder in front of you, and it looks distant and inaccessible.

As soon as she climbed to the second floor, Tang Xiaohong's face was already red, and the beads of sweat on her forehead were dragging down her face one by one.

"Teacher Tang......"

Gu Manman couldn't bear it.

Tang Xiaohong held on to the handrail that was already full of rust, and then slowly walked up.

Even though there was no one to help her, she had to keep going up.

"No, I have to go up."

Gu Zichen and Li Zichen quickly rushed up, one by one they supported Tang Xiaohong's left and right hands, and then accompanied her to climb the stairs again.

"Grandma, let's go slowly, don't be in a hurry."

After climbing for almost half an hour, they finally climbed to the top floor.

When she arrived at the door of the 15th floor, Tang Xiaohong was no longer as anxious as before.

She just kept standing at the door, wandering back and forth, and didn't open the door for a long time.

Gu Manman said puzzledly: "Teacher Tang, why did you knock on the door?" ”

"I ...... I need to prepare again. I haven't seen Minzhe in so many years, and I'm a little nervous. What if he forgets that I did this? What if you don't remember me? ”

Tang Xiaohong clenched her hands and said nervously.

Gu Manman shook her head, tidied up the broken hair on her forehead for her, and wiped all the sweat beads on her forehead with a tissue before making a sound.

"No, your child, how can they forget you or not remember you?"

Gu Zichen winked at Gu Manman, then raised his small fist and knocked on the rusty iron door in front of him.

Bang bang bang - no one opened the door after five minutes of knocking.

Tang Xiaohong also turned from nervousness at the beginning to worry.

"Why hasn't Min Zhe opened the door yet? Isn't he at home? Or did you say something was wrong? Or is he no longer living here? ”

Gu Manman shook his head: "Teacher Tang, don't worry about it first. Let's ask someone about the situation. ”

As she spoke, she turned to the house on the side, and it looked like it should be Tang Minzhe's neighbor.

In a few moments, the door opened, and a woman with a cigarette stood in the doorway.

Gu Manman hurriedly asked, "I'm sorry, may I ask, is Tang Minzhe living next to you?" ”

The woman spat out a puff of smoke rings at her: "Tang Minzhe? That's right! Tang Minzhe lives next to him, what's wrong? ”

"I want to ask you about Tang Minzhe......"

Before Gu Manman finished speaking, the woman had already covered her mouth and laughed.

"What is there to inquire about Tang Minzhe? Isn't it just a wasted person? ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaohong exploded in an instant.

She rushed in front of the woman, and she looked like she was going to fight her.

"Who do you say is trash?!"

The woman snorted coldly: "Is what I said wrong?" Tang Minzhe didn't live here at the beginning, although he didn't live very well, but it was better than living in the slums, right? Later, he broke his leg while working on the construction site, and his wife ran away with all his money with the children, and threw him in the slums, you say it's ridiculous? ”

"What!? Min-cheol broke his leg?! ”

Tang Xiaohong's eyes widened, and her lips began to tremble, as if it was hard to believe.
