Chapter VI Shanty Towns

Looking at the sincere expression of the woman in white, Su Ziqiu thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "That...... All right. ”

Hearing Su Ziqiu's agreement, the woman in white stretched out her hand to him very happily and said, "Hello, my name is Liang Manxi, please take care of me in the future." ”

Stretched out his hand and shook hands with Liang Manxi, Su Ziqiu also introduced himself: "My name is Su Ziqiu, please take care of me." ”

After shaking hands, Su Ziqiu suddenly wanted to knock his head a little.

Just now, because I had never been asked by a girl like this in my life, I agreed on impulse.

But what next!?

How do you introduce her to your mother? Did you pick it up on the road?

And I can't find a few places to sit at home, where should she sleep!?

'Impulse is the devil......

But no matter how headache he has, he will definitely not be able to do it temporarily, so he has to take one step at a time.

"That...... First of all, what I just said about my small family is not an excuse, it is really small. Before leaving, Su Ziqiu gave Liang Manxi a preventive shot.

"Don't worry, I just said that I can sleep in a chair."

"That'...... Let's go. ”

In various intricate thoughts, Su Ziqiu took Liang Manxi to the shantytown where he lived.

Messy, low, ungreened, full of slopes, dead ends, these are the basic elements that make up shanty towns.

As long as you look up, you can see the wires covered with cobwebs, and various transformer boxes can be seen everywhere.

Glancing at Liang Manxi, Su Ziqiu found that she was looking around curiously, and she didn't seem to have been to such a place.

Turning into an alley, the peeling walls, broken window panes, and various faded couplets seem to tell the age of the house here.

"Be careful, that manhole cover is a little loose, it's better not to step on it." Seeing Liang Manxi walking forward with his head raised, Su Ziqiu reminded loudly.

"Okay." Nodding, Liang Manxi raised his leg and stepped over the manhole cover.

[Please don't urinate here, it's unhygienic! 】

[It is strictly forbidden to take out garbage here, and violators will be severely fined!] 】

[Haircut, face trimming 2 yuan.] 】

[Repair clothes, change trouser hems, change zippers, change zipper pulls. 】

Walking through the alleys, all kinds of novel words came into Liang Manxi's eyes, and for her, all the "scenery" here she had only seen on TV.

"Ziqiu is back, huh? Is this your friend? ”

Just as Su Ziqiu was thinking about what Liang Manxi was thinking, a woman with a hot wavy curl greeted Su Ziqiu through the window.

"Aunt Song is good." Su Ziqiu stopped and said hello, then looked at Liang Manxi and said, "Yes, it's my friend, I'm here to play." ”

Showing a small expression of "you know", Aunt Song laughed and said: "Our kid Qiu grew up, come, take this to eat with your friends, the collapsed cake just made is fragrant." ”

Taking the plastic bag handed by Aunt Song, Su Ziqiu saluted and said, "Thank you, Aunt Song." ”

Liang Manxi, who was on the side, also saluted after listening: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

"Haha, Ziqiu, your friend is very polite, it's good, it's good, then you can go back quickly."

"Okay, goodbye, Aunt Song."

Waving his hand to Aunt Song, Su Ziqiu took Liang Manxi and continued to walk forward, meeting many neighbors who greeted him along the way, and also harvested four bean paste cakes, five mung bean cakes, and three oil dun seeds.

"Do you know all the people here?"

After helping Su Ziqiu carry a bag of oil piers, Liang Manxi, who couldn't help but be curious, asked.

"Yes, everyone has been old neighbors for more than ten years, and everyone is very nice."

Su Ziqiu couldn't help but smile after speaking, looking back on his short miserable life of more than ten years, the most warm thing for him was this group of neighbors, everyone helped each other on weekdays, and they shared delicious food together.

"Here it is, that's it."

Coming to a dilapidated hut with a vegetable sink in front of the door and plastic bags hanging on the eaves, Su Ziqiu stopped and said.

Liang Manxi observed for a moment, pointed to one of the plastic bags and said, "What is in here?" ”

"Oh, that's gourd grass, my mom said it could ward off evil spirits."

"Gourd grass ......" Liang Manxi read it softly and nodded.

took out the key to open the door lock, and just as he was about to go in, Su Ziqiu suddenly turned his head to look at Liang Manxi and asked, "Anyway, you didn't bring any luggage, what should I do if I change my clothes?" ”

"It's okay one day, I'll buy a new one tomorrow."

"Okay."

Nodding, Su Ziqiu opened the lock and pushed the door in, shouting towards the inner room, "Mom, I'm back." ”

"Hey, Ziqiu is back."

It was not his mother who answered Su Ziqiu, but Aunt Wu who came out of the back room.

"Aunt Wu is here, and you have worked hard to take care of my mother again."

"Hey, what kind words do we have for the two of us." After Aunt Wu finished speaking, she pointed to the back room, and then made a tearful motion.

Seeing this, Su Ziqiu sighed and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Sighing with Su Ziqiu, Aunt Wu realized that there was another person next to her.

"This girl is so handsome, Ziqiu, your friend?" Aunt Wu asked in admiration.

"Well, my friend, I'm here to play." Su Ziqiu nodded.

"Okay, okay, then you guys have fun, I have to go back to cooking."

"Okay, Aunt Wu, go slowly."

After Aunt Wu left, Su Ziqiu took out a bamboo chair and said to Liang Manxi: "You sit down for a while, and I'll go in and see my mother." ”

Liang Manxi, who seemed to understand something, nodded, sat on a chair and said, "Well, you go and get busy." ”

Taking a bean paste cake, Su Ziqiu opened the curtain and walked into the back room.

"Mom, Uncle Li's family made bean paste cakes, let me bring them to you to taste."

Hearing her son come in, Ding Lanfang, who was lying on the bed, twitched the corners of her mouth twice, but she didn't say anything, and looked at the ceiling with blank eyes.

"Mom, I'll help you shake the bed up."

Still no response.

Pulling out a helpless smile, Su Ziqiu walked to the side of the bed and began to shake the handle.

In the process of the upper half of the bed slowly rising, Ding Lanfang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Ziqiu, what are you hiding from me." ”

Su Ziqiu was stunned for a moment and replied, "It's nothing." ”

"You're still lying to me!" Ding Lanfang shouted, "Do you think I can't see that you have been worried lately?" Say, did you borrow money!? ”

Su Ziqiu couldn't help but tremble after hearing this, "Mom, don't worry, I found a job with good pay today, and I will be able to ...... right away."

"You're going to lie to me! You're still going to lie to me! ”

Shouting and shouting, Ding Lanfang suddenly cried bitterly, "It's all my mother's sin, it's all my mother's sin, you just let me die, my mother really doesn't want to drag you down anymore." ”

"Mom!!" Hearing Ding Lanfang say this kind of thing again, Su Ziqiu immediately shouted, looked at his mother with a pair of eyes and said, "Mom! Didn't we say that we would never say such things again! I can't live if you're dead. ”

"Mom is not interesting to live! If I want to bother you, don't ......."

Halfway through the conversation, Ding Lanfang suddenly noticed that an unfamiliar figure opened the door curtain and walked in.

"Excuse me...... I just wanted to come in and see if I could help. Liang Manxi looked at Ding Lanfang with an apologetic expression and said.
