Back to the Ghetto 2
The business of Wenji Restaurant at noon today is much better than yesterday. Perhaps it is because everyone has returned from visiting relatives, and there are also many tourists visiting the East Lake Scenic Area, so there are many more customers coming to eat than yesterday.<
/p>
The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival is still very strong. There are red decorations hanging everywhere in the business district, such as lanterns, window grilles, couplets, etc. In short, people feel happy and joyful just looking at them.
"Sister Jiu, why do you have to leave again just after you come back?"
Li Qingyu had just played with his new pistol when he heard Wen Jiu say that he wanted to go out and let them take a good look at Wenji Restaurant.
"Then do you want to go out with me?" Wen Jiu is loading food into the lunch box. She plans to put the lunch box into the wisdom ring space and then take the food to meet her old friend.
She also bought some New Year's goods as gifts, but she had already kept them in the Wisdom Ring Space.
Hearing this, Qiao Shishi was the first to respond: "Can I come with you? It's so boring to stay in the store."
"Okay." Wen Jiu thought for a moment and then agreed.
She felt that it was okay to take Qiao Shishi with her, but she didn't know if she would regret it after going there. After all, the place she was going to was far away and dilapidated, belonging to a slum area that they and others had never been involved in before.
In the end, after ten minutes of conversation, Wen Jiu was forced to take everyone on board the suspended bus.
Originally, I wanted to leave Chu Jiayan in the store to look after the store, but I don’t know what Li Qingyu, a stubborn person, was thinking, so I decided to take Chu Jiayan out with him anyway.
If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think they had such a good relationship.
"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Li Qingyu felt like she had been sitting in the car for a long time, "Sister Jiu, where are you going?"
Hearing this, Wen Jiu glanced at him directly and said: "There are only seven stops left. If you can't wait, get off the car and sit back."
"I'm just asking, then I'll wait patiently." Li Qingyu was used to being scolded by others. He was just curious about where he was going after taking the car for so long.
I have already been on the bus for nearly two hours, and seven more stops is nothing.
But when they got off the bus, the three people except Wen Jiu all looked shocked.
"If I remember correctly, this should be a slum area."
Li Qingyu had never been to a slum area, but just looking at the jagged and simple houses here, the streets where garbage was piled randomly, and the rats that wandered out from time to time, he could guess that this was a slum area.
p>
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Wen Jiu led them forward while answering their questions.
Among the three, the one with the most problems was Li Qingyu, because he was very curious about what Wen Jiu was doing in the slums.
He knew Wen Jiu's tragic background, so he felt that if he finally escaped from the slums, he would not choose to return to a place like this again.
"This is not a visit to relatives during the Spring Festival. I have no relatives to visit, but there are people who have taken care of me. I thought that I should come to visit during the Spring Festival."
After walking for about ten minutes, the group finally saw their destination. There was a simple iron sign hanging outside the empty scrap station. The words "Zhao Apo Resource Recycling Station" were engraved on it. Half of it was rusty.
Wen Jiu was originally in a happy mood, but it disappeared the moment he stepped into the scrapyard.
She remembered that the last time she came here, except for the alleys for driving and walking, the scrap station was full of miscellaneous scraps. It could be seen that the scrap business here was still very popular.
But now she glanced over and saw that the scrap station was empty, with only a small amount of scrap piled in a small corner.
"We no longer collect waste, please go elsewhere...Is that you?"
Wang Nan is much thinner than before, and he is not as energetic as before.
He was cleaning up the remaining scraps, but when he saw someone coming in, he thought they were here to sell scraps again.
Finally, he raised his eyes and took a closer look, and then he saw clearly the little girl walking in front.
Although the other party looked very different from before, he was still able to successfully recognize it after carefully identifying it.
After all, that platinum-blonde hair was so conspicuous that he had never seen another person with such hair color.
Moreover, he thought that the child would not come back after going to school, but he did not expect to see him again today.
"Hello, Brother Wang," Wen Jiu greeted with a smile, "Is Grandma Zhao here?"
Although she had only met him once, she still had some impression of Wang Nan.
"Grandma Zhao is resting in the house. Do you have anything to do with her?" Wang Nan forced a smile.
The main reason is that too many things have happened recently, and he himself doesn’t like to act in vain. It’s good to be able to smile in response to Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu first observed him without leaving any trace, and then slowly said: "I'm here to deliver some New Year's goods. It's just the Spring Festival."
There is no rule that you can only visit relatives and friends on the second day of the Spring Festival, so many people also choose to visit on the third or fourth day during off-peak hours.
"You come here as soon as you come, why are you buying things?" Wang Nan later heard what Grandma Zhao said about Wen Jiu, and naturally knew that this child was also suffering.
He also regretted his stinginess, but the other party went to college and there was no chance for him to make up for it.
Wen Jiu exchanged greetings with him for a few more words. It was not until Grandma Zhao was awakened by the movement outside that the two stopped chatting.
The main reason is that Grandma Zhao is old and can't sleep for long. She woke up before Wen Jiu came, but she was still a little tired so she lay down for a while.
"Oh, you kid has grown so tall." Aunt Zhao walked toward them tremblingly, and Wen Jiu quickly ran over to support her.
Seeing this, Grandma Zhao smiled and shook her head and said: "Oh, oh, oh, I'm old, and my legs and feet are not very flexible anymore."
"Grandma Zhao, you are still young. How old are you?" Wen Jiu coaxed her with a smile, "You can see that you haven't had a good rest. If you want to have a good rest, you can't climb three floors in one breath."
Grandma Zhao was so happy by her words that the smile on her face never disappeared for a moment.
Wen Jiu then introduced the three people she had brought to the other party. Li Qingyu and Qiao Shishi both said hello obediently, but only Chu Jiayan was stared at by Granny Zhao a few times.
"Child, I don't think this boy is a good person." Grandma Zhao leaned close to Wen Jiu's ear, "You three children should be more careful. Why are you wearing a mask and a hat in broad daylight?"

Hearing this, Wen Jiu smiled awkwardly.
She thinks it's okay to wear masks and hats, but the elderly may find it strange.
They were chatting in the small shabby room when they suddenly heard Wang Nan's shout.
