Since everyone is a migrant worker, many of them have rented houses for a long time, so Liu Jia and their neighbors are also very familiar, and even if any family is in difficulty, others will do their best to solve the problem of eating, so although the people here are poor, they have a human touch that is difficult to find elsewhere.

"Mrs. Liu, are you back? You guys are really blessed, Brother Hua came with a chicken and seafood today. A middle-aged woman who was choosing vegetables at the kitchen door smiled and shouted when she saw Liu's mother coming back, and when she saw Ma Lin behind Liu's mother, she was stunned and smiled:

"Huh? Coming to the guests? No wonder, Brother Hua smiled and glared at me all afternoon. ”

Mother Liu turned back to Ma Lin and smiled:

"Miss Ma, this place is shallow and narrow, you can be wronged."

Ma Lin smiled, but Ma Xiaolan beside him said:

"What's the matter, I used to live in a much worse place than here."

Although Ma Molin is rich, Ma Guoren is a loser, because gambling has already sold out the family property, so Ma Xiaolan used to live in a shantytown, and the living conditions are indeed much worse than here.

However, Ma Lin thought that his focus would be abroad, so he vacated his room for Ma Xiaolan to live in, so that he could take care of Ma Molin and Xia Wei, who were already old, and secondly, it would be safer.

Similarly, Ma Xiaolan is a person who has endured hardships, not the kind of person who does not know how to drink water and think of the source, so she does not look down on people like Liu Jia who live at the bottom of society.

Liu's mother thought that Ma Xiaolan was comforting herself, but she didn't take it to heart.

At this time, the voice of Liu Jia's father, Liu Jinhua, came from the single room:

"Jiajia, Shuhui, you're back, hurry up and wash the dishes and get chopsticks, and eat."

Another male neighbor said:

"Brother Hua, what's wrong, I've made a fortune today, have you found any good way? This is the first time you've been so extravagant. ”

"Go and go, I, Liu Jinhua, have always eaten like this, but I used to put my money into business."

Ma Lin listened to it funny, Liu Mu and Liu Jia saw Ma Lin's smile, and at the same time listened to Liu Jinhua's braggadocio words, their faces were somewhat embarrassed.

Mother Liu went straight to the room, and immediately approached the room in a few steps, and sneered at Liu Jinhua, who was squatting on the chair peeling peanuts and bragging about cows:

"You dead ghost, where have you been fooling around these days, don't work honestly on the construction site, phew, still do business, if you don't come back to us to get money, we'll burn high incense, and do a bullshit business."

"Shuhui, I'm here, didn't I tell you? I really went into the building materials business, but I just accidentally lost some money. Seeing that his wife was back, Liu Jinhua's complacent expression disappeared immediately, and he turned a little timid.

After all, over the years, Liu's mother has worked hard to open a small food stall to make a living, although Liu Jinhua said that he was idle, but he also felt guilty, and over time he was stunned by Liu's mother, which is called raking ears in Sichuan dialect.

"It's also a building materials business." Mother Liu showed no mercy in front of many neighbors, and said:

"Who doesn't know that you play mahjong and do business every day? Your business is all done on the mahjong table. I said, why are you so generous today, you are buying seafood and entertaining, you probably want to borrow money from your neighbors, right? Guys, don't lend him money, he can't afford to pay it back! ”

"Enough! Li Shuhui, I'm a man who stands up to the sky, I whispered to you, and you treated me like this? scolded his mother-in-law so much that the dog's head was bloody, and Liu Jinhua couldn't get off the stage, so he patted the table lightly and said:

"It's not because Chen Dali's gang of ruffians who have been bullying us were driven away, and we don't have to pay protection money in the future, so we just buy some vegetables and come back happy."

The neighbors who were embarrassed to meddle in other people's family affairs heard Liu Jinhua mention "Chen Dali, so they couldn't help but speak, and one of the honest middle-aged men said:

"Jinhua, did you say that Chen Dali was really driven away? They are so fierce, will they just dodge and fight back in a few days? This has happened quite a few times before. ”

Liu Jinhua became angry again:

"You guys are rare and weird, I have a friend, I heard him say that Chen Dali is a big man, a few days ago in front of people and Lian Sheng, he didn't dare to speak out, he was abolished by others, and even his little brother was abolished."

"No, Chen Dali heard that he is very capable of fighting." A man in his early thirties exclaimed.

The turmoil that happened on Huangpu Avenue just now, and they ordinary people did not participate in it, so they only knew that Chen Dali, the cancer on Huangpu Avenue, had been beaten away, but they did not know the specific process.

Another person pouted at Liu Jinhua:

"Jinhua, you shouldn't be bragging, as if you were there."

"Eh, you're right, I was there." Liu Jinhua was like a high-spirited rooster, and said in a colorful voice:

"You didn't see it, at the time..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jinhua saw Ma Lin and a few people walking in slowly, and immediately shut up in astonishment, and the other half's words were also blocked back into his stomach, and he was frightened by the sudden sight of Ma Lin, and he almost fell off the chair.

Although the boss of Lian Sheng was the black wolf Xie Da Niu Yuan, Liu Jinhua was also playing mahjong across the street when Ma Lin led people to beat Chen Dali, so he vaguely guessed that Ma Lin was the person in charge.

However, he spends all day in mahjong parlors and teahouses, and he knows a lot about some things, and knows that Ma Lin definitely doesn't want the inside story to leak out, so Liu Jinhua has never mentioned Ma Lin in front of outsiders.

At the same time, Liu Jinhua saw that Ma Lin was very good to his wife and daughter, but he didn't have a good impression of himself, and Ma Lin's power was unusually huge, so Liu Jinhua was really afraid of Ma Lin.

So when he suddenly saw Marin appear at this time, he immediately shut up in fright.

The other neighbors noticed Liu Jinhua's strange appearance, and they all looked back with his stunned gaze, and saw the tall and beautiful Ma Lin, as well as the delicate and lovely Ma Xiaolan next to Ma Lin.

"Hello everyone, my name is Marin, this is my niece Xiaolan, and the two of them are my friends." Ma Lin took the initiative to introduce himself to everyone, and Ma Xiaolan also greeted everyone cutely and politely.

Seeing that everyone was still looking at Ma Lin curiously, Mother Liu smiled and said:

"Thanks to Miss Ma that day, our Liu Jia was able to come back safely, and Miss Ma's niece also happened to be a classmate of Liu Jia at Jiaotong University, so it was better to compare with our Liu Jia."

Everyone suddenly realized, and Ma Lin is not the kind of arrogant person who looks at the common people like mustard, and has also experienced the hard life at the bottom, so there is no obstacle with these neighbors, and a few words will attract everyone to get very close, plus she is beautiful, talks well, and has the very likable Ma Xiaolan on the side, everyone quickly liked this pair of aunts and nephews.

And Liu's mother also quickly arranged the meal, as for Liu Jinhua since Ma Lin came in, she didn't dare to talk anymore after saying hello to her, she shrank aside honestly, she should drink soup and drink soup, she should eat and eat, that appearance made Liu Jia's mother and daughter angry and funny.

During the banquet, Liu's mother was very enthusiastic about adding food and soup to Ma Lin and Ma Xiaolan, and asked Ma Lin with a smile if she was married, it seemed that she obviously wanted to help Ma Lin introduce boys, but it caused Liu Jia and Ma Xiaolan's consternation, and they didn't know it.

Liu Jia naturally peeked at Marin a few times from time to time, and secretly speculated who could be worthy of Marin with an orchid temperament in front of him.

"Oh no, come on, someone's setting it on fire."

Just as everyone was eating, there was a burst of shouting outside the door.

Because the neighbors get along well, there are few people in this building who close their doors unless they sleep at night, so the movement outside is clearly transmitted throughout the building.
