Chapter 69: The Living Conditions of the Bottom People
"Quick, go, go back and see if it's still there!"
Jiang Jinghe was a little puzzled: "What is it?" ”
"The red box."
Jiang Jinghe thought for a while, there seemed to be such a box at home, and asked her, "Mom, is it the box you put your clothes in?" ”
Jiang Lian nodded: "Yes, that is very important, but it must not be burned out......"
Jiang Jinghe smiled: "Mom, that's okay, it's okay if you don't want it, I'll buy you new clothes." ”
"No way!" Jiang Lian struggled for a moment and sat up: "There are photos of you from childhood to adulthood, you hurry up and take a look, can you still find it, there are also ovens, induction cookers, see if it has been burned, you just bought me last month The mobile phone you just bought for me didn't come out, you go back and see if there is any ......"
Jiang Lian was about to cry as she spoke, "How much does this cost......
Jiang Jinghe smiled helplessly: "Mom, it's okay, just buy it when the things are gone, it's okay if you're fine, you lie down quickly, don't work hard, it's not conducive to your recovery." ”
"No," Jiang Lian shook her head: "You go and look for it, forget if the other things are gone, you have to find the photos from childhood to adulthood for me, go quickly, don't be taken away by others." ”
Lin Momo saw that Jiang Lian was so persistent, so he said to Jiang Jinghe: "Jinghe, the place where you live should not be far away, right?" Otherwise, you and Senior Brother should go over and look for it, I will take care of Auntie here and wait for you to come back. ”
Jiang Lian pulled him so big alone, she is usually diligent and thrifty, but now she really feels sorry for this money. Lin Momo also understood that he couldn't resist her, so he nodded: "Okay, then mom, you wait a while, I'll be back soon." ”
Jiang Lian nodded, and Jiang Jinghe went out with Lu Zhi.
Soon arrived at the place where Jiang Jinghe lived before, this apartment has been burned beyond recognition, many people who were not admitted to the hospital yesterday are now coming back to get things, the neighbor who shared the house with Jiang Jinghe came out with a big refrigerator, and when he saw Jiang Jinghe, he put down the refrigerator and greeted him: "Xiao Jiang, how is your mother?" I heard that your mother is still in the hospital. ”
Jiang Jinghe smiled slightly: "My mother is out of danger, it's no big deal, your family is okay, right?" ”
"Hey, it's really a blessing in misfortune, my son had a birthday yesterday, and our family took him to Happy Valley to play all night, so there was nothing wrong, and I came back today to see that the house was gone, and everything was burned down, and I was a little distressed about the money, but the people were fine, and I was thankful."
"That's good." Jiang Jinghe nodded, and saw that the residents of the apartment next door who had not been burned were also moving, he was a little strange, and asked his neighbor: "Uncle, why are so many people suddenly moving today?" ”
Those uncles said helplessly, "Don't you know yet? The leader above said that the cheap house we live in is not safe, the fire resistance is not good, and we want to come back quickly to get things to change the house, our landlord and agent have all been arrested, I heard that we have to bear the main responsibility, you should also hurry up to find a new house. ”
Jiang Jinghe nodded, in fact, he had already planned to change to a new house, he worked so hard, just hoping to have a good place for Jiang Lian to live in, so that she could recuperate.
He and Lu Zhi went in to look for something, and his house seemed to be badly damaged, half of the partition wall had been burned, and the things had basically turned to ashes, or a lump of black carbon.
The box was also half burned, Jiang Jinghe went over to open the box, and turned to the photo album pressed at the bottom of the box, except for the cover of the album, the photos inside were all fine.
"Great, Mom must be happy to see this." Jiang Jinghe laughed, blew the ash on the album, and flipped through it.
He has always known that this album exists, but he is usually busy and rarely has the opportunity to open it.
As soon as he turned two pages, the smile on Jiang Jinghe's face gradually dropped, and Lu Zhi noticed that something was wrong with him and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Jinghe silently pulled out a few photos in the album and sneered: "My mother is a super perfect person, but there is only one shortcoming, that is, she has always been obsessed with a scumbag." ”
Lu Zhi glanced at a few photos taken out by Jiang Jinghe, it was a very ordinary-looking man, looking at the color of the photos, it was estimated that it had been a long time.
Jiang Jinghe tore up the photo, and said to Lu Zhi while tearing it up: "This scumbag cheated when I was three months old, and he also framed and slandered my mother in court, saying that my mother smoked du and gambled. My mother is also stupid, she doesn't know how to fight for her own interests at all, and she can't come up with evidence. ”
Lu Zhi has known Jiang Jinghe for a long time, and it is the first time he has heard him talk about his life experience, but he really didn't expect him to live like this all the time.
He patted Jiang Jinghe on the shoulder: "Look at what else you have to take, go back and tell your aunt about the situation, and I'll accompany you to find a house this afternoon." ”
Jiang Jinghe nodded, and quickly shook his head: "No, Brother Zhi, do you have something to do today?" You really don't have to accompany me, you can find it yourself, you're busy. ”
"I don't have anything to do today, let my classmate go to the hospital on duty for me, you don't have to be polite to me."
"Alright then, thank you, Brother Zhi." Jiang Jinghe smiled embarrassedly.
The two of them only took the album back, and didn't take anything else, and when they arrived at the hospital and handed the album to Jiang Lian, Jiang Lian looked very happy, flipped over and found that Liu Lei's photos were gone, the expression on her face was stunned, but she didn't say anything.
Jiang Jinghe looked at every expression on her mother's face, seeing that her mother didn't say anything, she was relieved, she must have known it, and knew that she was going to give up that scumbag.
He told Jiang Lian what the neighbor said, "Mom, I'll go look for a house in the afternoon." ”
Jiang Lian nodded: "Okay, don't look for too expensive, smaller, remote, it doesn't matter, just be clean." ”
Jiang Jinghe nodded: "Got it, Mom." ”
At noon, the four of them had dinner together, and in the afternoon, Lin Momo continued to accompany Jiang Lian, Lu Zhi and Jiang Jinghe went out to find a house, and searched on the Internet, and the house between the fifth and third rings was no less than 8,000 yuan a month, or the kind shared with others.
"The price has gone crazy, and when I remember looking at it last week, the house prices in this neighborhood were still stable at three to five thousand a month." Jiang Jinghe was a little helpless.
Lu Zhi has been living in the school and has no concept of renting a house, but he knows Jiang Jinghe's salary, and then counting his part-time salary elsewhere, he feels that the cost of renting a house should account for about 20% of his income, and he should still be able to afford it.
"Isn't this rate acceptable?" Lu Zhi asked.
Jiang Jinghe shook his head, and his tone was a little helpless: "My mother's monthly dialysis and medicine costs close to 30,000 yuan, plus there are loans to repay, and we can only barely maintain a balance every month before." Now that my mother is hospitalized, I guess I have to recuperate for a while, and I have to work a few fewer jobs to take care of her, which should not be able to bear it. ”
"Isn't there anything cheap?"
"Now that the non-compliant houses are not allowed to live, how many poor people are displaced like us, and the real estate agents must raise the rent, and there is no cheap one."
Lu Zhi thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, otherwise wait and see, the rent has risen so crazy, the relevant departments will definitely pay attention to it gradually, and then rent it after they regulate it, I will ask Mingyu if there is a place for your mother and son to live in the short term." ”
Saying that Lu Zhi was about to call, Jiang Jinghe hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, don't, I don't want to trouble Brother Mingyu, thank you too, I'll figure it out myself." ”
Lu Zhi glanced at him, and put the phone away: "Okay, then don't tell Mingyu." ”
He understands Jiang Jinghe, he has always lived such a hard life, and he has never said a word in front of others, everything is swallowed in his stomach by himself, and he bears it silently. If it hadn't happened this time, he wouldn't know about Jiang Jinghe's situation now.
"Hey," Jiang Jinghe sighed and smiled helplessly: "Money is really a good thing, no matter how much money you make." ”
Lu Zhi was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Actually, there are many ways to make money if you want to, and if you go to live broadcast, the income will definitely be more than doing these labor jobs." ”
Jiang Jinghe shook his head: "I don't want to be too famous, in that case, someone will definitely come to disturb my mother, and if you understand my mother's situation, they will sympathize with me, I don't need sympathy." I also don't like to socialize, and I think it's the most comfortable way to work by only doing things and not communicating with people, so I'm fine with this now. ”
Lu Zhi nodded, everyone can choose the state they like, and liking is the best state.
"Let's go to the nearby community and see if there are any landlords who can rent directly to make it cheaper." Lu Zhi said.
Jiang Jinghe nodded, and went over with Lu Zhi.
After having lunch together just now, Jiang Lian fell asleep, and now she woke up, picked up her mobile phone and looked at it, and sighed: "I don't know how Jinghe is looking for a house, everyone in our community group is saying that now I am cleaning up the illegal houses, and the real estate agents are driving up the house prices, I am really worried about ......"
"Auntie, don't worry, Jinghe is very capable, he will definitely find a satisfactory house for you." Lin Momo saw that she turned over, and the sheets behind her were not pressed, so he hurriedly went over and pressed her up, "Auntie, I peeled fruit for you just now, you can eat a little." ”
Jiang Lian nodded, sat up and ate the apple cut by Lin Momo, looked at her while eating, and said with a smile: "Little girl, thank you, my family Jinghe has a withdrawn personality, he was very rebellious when he was a child, and he didn't study well, he never had any friends, I really appreciate it, thank you very much for being willing to accompany him." ”
"Auntie, Jinghe is great, he is a great god in our circle, and there are many people who like him."
Lin Momo laughed, Jiang Lian looked at her crooked eyes, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she reached out and took Lin Momo's hand, and said, "Little girl, Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you, when I am discharged from the hospital, you and that young man will come to my new home for dinner, okay?" My cooking is delicious. ”
Lin Momo nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, thank you, Auntie!" ”
Jiang Lian shook her head with a smile, and was about to say no thanks, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"It's Senior Brother and Jinghe who are back, I'll open the door." Lin Momo hurriedly got up and went over to open the door, but it turned out that it was not them who were standing at the door.
"Why are you here?" Lin Momo's face was full of astonishment.
