Of course, Li Yifei and Su Yiyi were not reporters, but when they heard the old lady's words, they both stopped. Su Yiyi looked unhappy, and Li Yifei also frowned and asked: "Auntie, you said you often stop drinking water?"
"Yes, it's almost the same if we don't say we stop supplying water every day. Originally, each of our households prepared a large bucket and used it to collect the water when it came. Last week, someone came to repair it and said it would provide water every day. As a result, my family forgot to save it.
The water is here, that's good. The water will be stopped on New Year's Eve. It's freezing cold. Do we have to go hundreds of meters away to fetch water?" The aunt complained. ≥
The old man next to him was not so calm, and yelled: "Oh, you **** officials, aren't you trying to force us to death? The heating is not hot, the water is not provided, and the electricity is often cut off. Is it possible?"
Didn’t we pay the fee? This world is over!”
"Stop cursing a few words. If cursing works, let's go ahead and scold them. Don't talk for now. Don't scare these two comrades reporters!" The lady turned around and said a few words, then turned to Li Yifei and smiled.
Humanity said: "Two comrades reporters, please help us contact the newspaper. They said
Once you are in the newspaper, the leaders can take care of it. We have lived here for most of our lives. If we had the ability, we would have left this place long ago. But the requirements are not much, just water and electricity, and if the heating is not hot... that's it.
We are all used to it, but without water or electricity, we can’t cook and we can’t celebrate the New Year!”
Su Yiyi's expression was not very good. She turned to look at Li Yifei. Her father said that he lived here. If this was the case, then her daughter would be too unfilial. How could she let her father live here.
Li Yifei held Su Yiyi's hand and turned to the aunt: "Aunt, I'm so sorry, we are not reporters, we are here to find someone!"
"Aren't you a reporter?" After hearing this, the aunt showed obvious disappointment on her face. She sighed heavily and said, "Oh, okay, aunt, I am also anxious to arrest people. You go find someone."
"Let's do this, aunt, I have a few friends. I'll find someone in a while to help you ask about the situation. It's not possible to have no water or electricity during the Chinese New Year. Even if it's broken and needs to be repaired, at least we can fix it during the Chinese New Year.
Come over." Li Yifei couldn't bear to see the old lady like this, so he agreed.
"Really?" When the old ladies heard this, they immediately became hopeful and said, "That's great, young man, thank you very much, there's nothing we can do about it!"
"I can't guarantee it, but I will ask. Let's go upstairs first." Li Yifei said.
"Okay, you guys go up first, put the car here, and we'll look after it for you!" said the aunt.
Li Yifei naturally didn't think too much, nodded, and led Su Yiyi upstairs. As soon as he entered the corridor, he felt very dim, even dark. The stairs were made of cement and were full of dust. He didn't know how long it had been.
It has not been cleaned, or it cannot be cleaned out. The corridor is full of debris, bicycles, various jars, and bags. There is only one way to go up. Li Yifei said softly: "Be careful."
"Yeah!" Su Yiyi replied, feeling her nose sore.
Su's father lived on the fifth floor, a total of six floors. When the two of them went up to the second floor, they felt that their breaths were filled with dust, and there were various smells in the corridor, including the stench of chicken, the smell of something fermented, and even...
The smell of rotten meat was very unpleasant. Li Yifei was fine, but Su Yiyi was in a worse mood. How did dad live in such an environment?
Going up to the fourth floor, Li Yifei even heard a family quarreling. The woman scolded the man for being incompetent and unable to make money, so he had to live in such a wretched place. How could he survive without water or electricity during the Chinese New Year?
He was scolding me, you are capable, and money is not earned by one person. You said that I don’t make money, and you play mahjong all day long, why don’t you talk about yourself. In short, the two of them were insulting each other.
Shaking his head, Li Yifei flew to the fifth floor. When he went up to the fifth floor, the environment was even worse. However, the door of one of the doors was very clean, and there was also a somewhat old mat. Li Yifei identified it and found that Su's father lived here.
.
The two stood still and looked back at Su Li. Su Li pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and walked over to knock on the door.
Dong-dong-dong, Su's father's voice came from inside, calling out, but it was followed by a cough, as if he was afraid that the two of them would hear it. After a while, he walked to the door and opened the door.
Opening it, this was a very old door. After opening it, Li Yifei saw Su's father, and Su Yiyi also saw her father. They were both stunned at the same time. It had been a long time since they saw the old man, and he had really become an old man.
His head was gray, and his face looked bad. It seemed that he had a sickly rosy look on his face because of the cough just now. The old man was wearing an old set of clothes. It seemed that they had been washed for some time, and some places had turned white.
"Dad!" Su Yiyi called with a crying voice.
"Why are you crying? Come in quickly." Su's father said in a panic and let the two people in. Seeing Su Yiyi crying, Su's father quickly advised: "Don't cry. Dad doesn't even know when you cry."
What should we do? It’s Chinese New Year, don’t cry, don’t cry, everything will be fine!”
"Dad, why do you live in a place like this? Didn't I give you money?" Su Yiyi cried and asked: "Why do you live in a place like this? This environment... these things... wuwu, dad, you
Did you go gambling again?"
The whole house is only about 40 square meters. It is very small. It is an old building and the layout is also very poor. It is a one-bedroom and one-living room. There is almost no furniture in the house. What is there is old, even the most ordinary ones.
The paint on the rice cooker has peeled off. Even though I wiped it clean, it still doesn't shine.
Light, the rest, such as tables and stools, all have a very ancient feel, and they look like they are decades old. In short, this house is already too old. It can be seen that Su's father was cleaning the house just now, but
Old is just old, no matter how hard you wipe it, it won't come out.
As two children, seeing this situation, not to mention Su Yiyi crying, Li Yifei felt unbearable. In fact, the old man was not that hateful, and it was all in the past. There was no way he would live in such a place.
It was said that the Li family's current wealth was hundreds of billions. Even if they didn't have a lot of money, they couldn't let the elderly live in such a place. Li Yifei felt a little guilty for a while.
"This..." Su's father hesitated a little. He scratched his head as if to cover up. Seeing his daughter crying sadly, the old man said repeatedly: "My dear daughter, stop crying. Dad... Dad has changed his ways. After that time...
...I won’t touch that kind of thing anymore, don’t worry, dad can’t do that again.”
Su Yiyi couldn't believe it. She asked: "Then tell me where the money went? I gave you money just to let you live a better life. Why did you move here? How can people live in this kind of place?"
dad!"
"Why can't people live in it? Isn't it a place for dad to live in? It's better than that kind of shed. Alas, it's not that dad has no money. He has saved all the money you gave him. It's just that... dad wants to work hard on his own, but it has been abandoned for so many years.
Dad is not completely old yet, he can still work and make money, so I will give it a try first, and then let my daughter support him when he can no longer work." Su's father said in a trembling voice.
Li Yifei understood that the other party was not telling lies, but really thought and acted this way. He could feel that Li Yifei had never thought that Su's father could really change his ways, but... now the old man has really changed.
, and he doesn’t even want his daughter’s money, but earns money to support himself. Of course, his life is miserable.
Su Yiyi was stunned for a moment. After understanding, she threw herself into her father's arms and cried: "Dad, why are you... My daughter is already living a good life, but you are still like this? I feel bad. Dad, we can't live here."
Okay, okay, if you want to work, let’s find an easy job and don’t live here anymore!”
"Okay, daughter, don't cry. Dad feels bad too. If he had understood these truths all these years earlier, why would he be like this? Dad owes you!" Su's father finally couldn't help crying. Father and daughter hugged each other and cried. Li Yifei
This son-in-law... gritted his teeth and didn't think so.
It feels so good. After escaping from death this time after dual cultivation, Li Yifei has a clearer understanding of some things, but at the same time, he also cherishes family ties more, and the same goes for friendship. He knows that this is extremely rare, and sometimes it is difficult to lose it.
Not anymore.
Huh, Li Yifei exhaled a breath and said: "Dad, let's pack up and go home. We will be happy during the New Year. We won't live here after the New Year. Otherwise, Yiyi and I will feel very uncomfortable. Our family is like this."
It is really inappropriate of us to let you live in a place like this even though you are rich."
"I don't blame you, Yi Fei, you are a good boy. Dad knows that he did something wrong in the past. Dad also wanted to punish himself. What did you do in those years? Why do you have to grow old to wake up? Isn't it a bit
Is it too late?" Su's father wiped his tears and said sadly.
"It's not too late, Dad, it's never too late. Just take good care of your body, enjoy your life, and do whatever you want. Of course, apart from those things, you will have a grandson in the next two years and take your grandson for a walk when you have nothing to do."
Take a walk!" Li Yifei said.
"Okay, listen to you, dad will clean it up!" Su's father nodded vigorously. Su Yiyi wiped her tears and walked in to help clean up.
In fact, there was nothing to pack. Su's father didn't have many clothes, and most of his underwear was old, so in the end, he only packed a few items. The room was very cold, and it even felt like it was freezing.
It seems that with the temperature in Yecheng, freezing will be as fast as the temperature outside.
The temperature was almost about the same. Li Yifei touched the heater and found that there was no temperature at all. It was warm at most. Let alone living in such a house, one would feel cold even if he stayed for a while, but Father Su spent his whole life here.
For most of the winter, Li Yifei still felt a little uncomfortable.
