.......

Magic City, late at night.

The entrance of an old residential building.

It's already autumn and the weather is getting colder, so most people are wearing sweatshirts or long sleeves.

But Lin Mo, who had worked for most of the day, was naked, letting the sweat of the beans continue to roll down.

"Thank you boss, feel free to contact me next time you have a job!"

Lin Mo wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, then replied to a message with trembling fingers, rode his electric car, and rushed in the direction of home.

He has a good figure, a strong physique, well-developed muscles, especially lumpy pecs and abs, and the first impression that looks strong is that it is strong.

But if you look closely, you will find that Lin Mo's back is full of dense and slender scars.

and the dead skin that has been half-detached and not shed by being exposed to the sun for a long time.

The palm of the hand was rough like the bark of an old pine tree, the back of the hand was cracked, and the palm was also ground into a thick calloon.

In addition to these outward scars, his meniscus, lumbar muscle strain, and rich bag are also very serious, and he often needs to work with large pieces of painkiller plasters.

Although he made nearly a thousand yuan today, which is a lot for most people, Lin Mo was not very happy.

Like most men, he has had his own midlife crisis.

He is 30 years old this year, and his body has begun to gradually decline, and no one knows how long he can do such high-intensity physical labor.

Besides

The cost of living in the magic capital is very scary,

The cost of a daughter's primary schooling, combined with monthly rent and other living costs, accounts for almost 80% of the total income.

There is very little money that can be saved every month.

Not to mention settling down in a big city, even if he returns to a small county, the money in his hand is not enough to buy a house in full.

Besides, back to your hometown?

Hehe.

Lin Mo's parents are also migrant workers who have left their hometowns, and his birthplace is in the magic capital.

In his memory, his hometown is nothing more than a dilapidated adobe house that he only returns to once every three or five years.

I don't know any connections, I don't know any familiar friends, and I don't even know the roads in the county.

What can he do when he goes back to his hometown like this?

I remember that when he first graduated, Lin Mo was also ambitious and wanted to break out in the big city, but he finally sadly found that most of the descendants of migrant workers will also be migrant workers.

The leap of classes is not as simple as he thinks.

I can't go back to my hometown, and I can't stay in the city.

I can't give my wife and children a stable life even if I try my best,

This is the truest portrayal of Lin Mo's life.

........

Because he lives in the suburbs, when Lin Mo stood at the door of his house, it was already close to 9 o'clock in the evening.

"Hiss......"

Standing at the door of the rental house, Lin Mo took a deep breath and gave himself a relaxed smile before taking out the key and twisting the door lock.

Squeak –

The rusty security door was pushed open, revealing a cramped but clean, tidy living room inside.

"Daddy's back!"

The cute little girl who was sitting at the dining table doing her homework immediately stood up from the chair the moment she saw Lin Mo, ran over in a hurry, and jumped on Lin Mo's body.

Lin Mo took the opportunity to pick up his daughter, but in the next moment, there was a sharp pain in his waist, which made the smile on his face completely solidify.

Hiss....

Lin Mo bared his teeth and gasped.

Daughter Lin Xiaoxiao looked at his face suspiciously and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Is Tiny too heavy? ”

Forehead....

Lin Mo didn't care about the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, endured the pain in his waist, and said with a smile, "It's not heavy, it's not heavy at all!! ”

Hearing the movement in the living room, a woman of medium height, slender figure and fair skin wearing an apron came out of the kitchen.

"Xiaoxiao, go wash your hands, and eat later!"

Her name is Li Jinwen, and she is Lin Mo's former college classmate and current wife.

Lin Mo took the opportunity to put her daughter down, touched her little head and said, "Listen to my mother, go wash your hands." ”

"Oh."

Lin Xiaoxiao answered and reluctantly walked into the bathroom not far away.

"Ouch..."

When the bathroom door closed, Lin Mo held his old waist with one hand, and the expression on his face was distorted a lot.

It really hurts!

The kind of soreness that comes from the inside of the muscles, from the inside out, is like being beaten with a stick.

Li Jinwen asked distressedly, "Is your waist starting to hurt again?" I'll help you with some plaster! ”

"It's okay, it's a little cold on the road, maybe it's blowing the wind and catching a cold." Lin Mo rubbed his waist and let out a deep sigh.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while, you go and get a hot meal, I'm so hungry."

"Okay, then sit down and rest for a while, I'll go heat up the meal." Li Jinwen turned around and walked briskly into the kitchen.

"By the way, didn't they all say that you don't have to wait for me to come back and eat together? I came back too late. ”

"If you don't come back to the novel, he won't eat it."

"Okay......"

Lin Mo looked at his wife's back, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

My wife is a real good wife and mother.

Lin Mo felt so when he was in love, and it is the same now.

Being able to marry such a woman is the proudest thing in his life.

And the only fly in the ointment is that the promise Lin Mo once made to his wife still has a lot to offer.

For example, take her around the world,

Another example is to buy a small house that belongs to their family of three and will not be evicted by the second landlord.

But Li Jinwen has never complained about these.

Not much.

The small living room is filled with the smell of food.

"It tastes so good."

"My wife's craftsmanship is really getting better and better."

Life needs praise.

In order for the family to be harmonious, the praise of the hostess is something that must be integrated into daily life.

"Daddy eats this."

"Small, can't be a picky eater!"

"Woo... I don't like to eat this, so I give it to my dad, who likes carrots the most. ”

"Okay, I'll eat, if you don't like to eat, give it to Dad."

"You just get used to her, see what she will do if she is malnourished in the future, Xiaoxiao, when do you think your parents are picky eaters?"

"But... But what you adults buy, it's all your own favorites! ”

"Haha..."

The atmosphere was very congenial.

After eating, Li Jinwen took Lin Xiaoxiao to take a bath, and Lin Mo was responsible for washing dishes and mopping the floor.

There is no clear division of labor between their husbands and wives in life, and the complicated work in the family is done by whoever is free.

Including Lin Xiaoxiao, many times he will do what he can.

This kind of life is very ordinary,

But it is also out of reach for many people.

In this world, everyone is envious of others, and at the same time, they are envied by others.

"Good night dad, good night mama."

"Little goodnight."

"Good night."

.......

When everything was done, it was almost early morning, and after Lin Mo and Li Jinwen finished washing, they lay on the bed in the bedroom.

The room is not big.

Except for a bed, there is almost nothing left of the aisle for walking.

But because of the two people who rely on each other, a small room can also become extra warm.

Li Jinwen snuggled in Lin Mo's arms, thought about it and said, "By the way, husband, Xiaoxiao will have a parent-teacher conference tomorrow, and I want to take this opportunity to talk to their principal again." ”

"We can't let our daughter be bullied every day, right?"

Speaking of this, Lin Mo's brows couldn't help frowning.

When Lin Xiaoxiao went home before, there were often various stains on the school uniform, and Lin Mo didn't care about it at that time, just because the child accidentally got it when he was playing.

But after asking her daughter, she found out that a little boy in their class deliberately painted it with colored oil paint.

Lin Mo also went to the school for this,

In the end, he found that it was not only Lin Xiaoxiao who was bullied, but also several other students from other places, who often wore traces of colored ink when they returned home.

Because the little boy's parents worked in the local government, and the little boy didn't have any more offensive behavior other than pranks, the school's handling was very ambiguous.

I went to theorize several times, but in the end nothing came of it.

Lin Mo also thought about transferring his daughter to another school.

But for migrant workers, it is already a great blessing for children to have a school.

If you want to change schools, it's hard to compare.

Lin Mo sighed and comforted, "I know, let's go to bed first, and then I'll talk about it when I wake up tomorrow." ”

"Maybe the other parents will go to the principal first, and then it will be up to the situation."

Daughters going to school is a big problem.

In the event that you may be ordered to withdraw from school at any time, you must be cautious in any action.

This is also the helplessness of outsiders, just like the children raised by stepmothers.

"Hmm."

Li Jinwen replied softly, she also knew that there was too much helplessness in this, and then, she hugged Lin Mo's strong body and gradually fell asleep

But Lin Mo tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

He didn't need to be supervised by teachers in his grade, and he often suffered from insomnia due to excessive stress.

Lin Mo will never forget that once, when he took Li Jinwen to see the house, she stood in the kitchen of the model house and imagined that she was the hostess.

It's true... It's very distressing.

If they can have a house in a big city, it doesn't have to be too big, thirty or forty square meters is enough, then they can also live a slightly decent life.

At least my daughter won't be discriminated against because of her status as an outsider.

But....

How terrifying are the housing prices in the magic capital?

Even if he doesn't eat or drink, doesn't have any physical problems, and earns a huge amount of money a thousand, Lin Mo still needs to work hard before the founding of the People's Republic of China to raise enough money.

"It's easy to get into elementary school, but what will I do when I go to junior high school in a few years?"

"Will there be a school to accept it?"

"Or do you want to take her back to the hometown where there are not many young people left?"

A sense of powerlessness surged into Lin Mo's heart.

He's worked hard, but he can't change anything!

This feeling is really uncomfortable!

This fucking society, why is this happening!

【Ding.】 】

Suddenly, at this moment.

An abrupt electronic sound suddenly sounded in Lin Mo's mind.

【Daily information system binding... The binding is successful. 】

[Daily intelligence is being generated... Daily intelligence generation is complete. 】

"Intelligence system?"

Lin Mo froze for a moment, his mind was a little confused, however, before he could react, a transparent template suspended in mid-air appeared in front of his eyes.

On the left is his personal 3D drawing, which looks like a character template from the game.

On the right is a red frame with a number of intelligence messages arranged in standard block letters.
