These past few days have been the most painful period for Meng Shaoyuan.

Waiting on a young lady is definitely not that pleasant.

Fortunately, the eldest lady's attitude towards Meng Shaoyuan has obviously changed a little bit.

It's no longer as cold as it was on the first day.

Sometimes I even tell him a few funny jokes.

Meng Shaoyuan was not relaxed at all.

Since ancient times, it has been said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

In fact, the same is true for the family members who accompany those important people.

You don't know when you will get into trouble and make them unhappy, and you won't even know if you offend them.

When the time comes, let alone your future, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life.

During these few days, Meng Shaoyuan also saw what it meant to spend money like water.

As long as it's something that her eldest lady likes, it's just one word:

purchase!

Don't ask about the price or whether you can use it.

The room next to where she lived was dedicated to her partner's things, and it was already half full.

This purchasing power is really terrible.

But it seems that the eldest lady is still dissatisfied and always complains that the consumption level in Nanjing is not as good as that in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan could only smile bitterly after hearing this.

People who live in heaven will not know what the people are like.

"Miss."

Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan came to Kong Lingyi's room carrying the snacks just delivered from the airport.

The servant quickly opened the snacks.

"Chief Meng, I have to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Kong Lingyi's opening remarks gave Meng Shaoyuan the feeling of parting through the clouds and looking at the blue sky.

However, Kong Lingyi then said: "I have actually lived in Nanjing for many years and have seen everything I should see. Today you can recommend it to me to see if there are any interesting places."

interesting place?

What can there be?

All Meng Shao wanted to do was how to send her away as soon as possible.

Last night, I also received a report that a new member of the special operations team accidentally fell and was seriously injured during training. Meng Shaoyuan was really at a loss for what to do, so he had to let Tian Qi handle it, and asked Ren Yinghao to deal with the member's family.

A sum of money was sent.

You said, in the past few days, I have been surrounded by this young lady, what else can I do?

But since it was she who brought it up, and seeing that she was about to leave, Meng Shaoyuan really didn't want to cause more trouble.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Miss, if you want me to make arrangements, firstly, you can't regret going, you must read it all. Secondly, you can't go with too many people."

Kong Lingyi immediately looked forward to it: "Okay, I will follow your arrangements today. You and Gao Fanyi will accompany me."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Also, please stop wearing the cheongsam and change into something lighter."

Kong Lingyi became more and more interested, and everything was arranged by Meng Shaoyuan.

After breakfast, Kong Lingyi took only Meng Shaoyuan and Gao Fanyi out.

Is there any place in Nanjing that she has not been to?

Meng Shaoyuan took her to Xinjiekou.

Kong Lingyi was immediately disappointed.

This commercial district, established in the 18th year of the Republic of China, is the commercial center and hub area of ​​Nanjing.

However, Kong Lingyi came here countless times when he was in Nanjing.

"Miss, are you very familiar with this place?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"Yes." Kong Lingyi did not deny this at all: "I have been to every store and every bank."

"Then you are a guest there." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "But you have never been to the place I am going to take you to today."

Kong Lingyi was a little curious, but mostly disbelieving.

Is there any place in Xinjiekou that he has not been to?

Meng Shaoyuan took her to the southeast of Xinjiekou.

No one had ever taken Kong Lingyi there.

Then, Kong Lingyi saw a world she had never seen before.

Tattered!

This is the first intuitive feeling given to the eldest lady.

There are many small alleys here.

Each alley is short, about a hundred meters long, and most of them are dead ends.

There are scattered buildings and green brick houses in the alley, the most common ones are "linoleum felt" made of bamboo and wood.

Such dilapidated houses are usually made of iron sheets, wood, and bamboo mats for the walls, and translucent plastic sheets are used to separate the rooms. There are usually five or six people from three generations of grandparents living in a small room.

In the summer, various mats are spread on the dirt floor in the alley, and children lying on the mats in various strange sleeping postures are naturally displayed.

On winter afternoons, rows of cabbage are drying in front of every house.

There is a flower bed at the entrance of some alleys, with shapeless plants growing in it, and the flower bed is mostly exposed soil.

Opposite the flower bed is a slope with a well on it, where everyone in the street uses water.

Moreover, an unpleasant smell kept coming to my nose.

Kong Lingyi couldn't help but cover her nose.

"Chief Meng." Gao Fanyi was a little unhappy and whispered: "Why did you bring the eldest lady to a place like this?"

Before Meng Shaoyuan could speak, Kong Lingyi had already said: "Gao Fanyi, I think Section Chief Meng has ulterior motives."

"Here, it starts from Zhenghong Street in the south and ends at Zhongshan East Road in the north." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Because in the Qing Dynasty, the residents here were all poor and destitute, and there were many rags stuffed in the alleys, so there was a

Name, Rag Camp."

"Rag Camp?"

Kong Lingyi thought this name was particularly strange.

"Most of the people who live here work part-time as a sanitation worker." Meng Shaoyuan ignored Gao Fanyi's repeated winks at him and walked inside with Kong Lingyi:

"What they earn in one day may not be enough to feed the family. What they fear most is getting sick. Once they get sick, it is impossible to see a doctor. They can only use some earthwork. Xiao Bingzi."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly called a child over.

The child looked seven or eight years old, and the only clothes he wore that had been altered by adults were all his possessions. Although it was already late April, it was still a little cold, but the child had bare legs and feet.

,

Two pieces of snot flowed from his nose, and he sucked it back with great force.

There was a stupid smile on his face, maybe there was something wrong with his intelligence, he looked at Meng Shaoyuan and smiled stupidly.

He also carried a bamboo basket on his back, which contained some garbage that could be put to some use.

"His name is Da Bingzi." Meng Shaoyuan touched his head: "When I was five years old, I got sick. It was not a serious illness. I had a fever. I really didn't have money to see a doctor. I finally got over it and didn't die. But

My brain was burned out and it turned into what it is now."

Kong Lingyi also wanted to imitate Meng Shaoyuan and touch the soldier's head, but seeing his dirty look, he really couldn't do it.

"Soldier, take it and give it to your mother."

Meng Shaoyuan took out a few banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Da Bingzi's hand: "Today is your birthday, let your mother buy you something delicious."

The soldier still smiled stupidly, took the money and ran away.

Kong Lingyi quickly warned: "He is... a fool, what if the money..."
Chapter completed!
