The scene just now was just a little surprising to Xia Haoran, but it didn't cause much disturbance in his heart. He shook his head and continued driving towards the place Li Mengyao said.
At an intersection not far from the shanty town, Xia Haoran saw Li Mengyao's somewhat thin figure. She was still wearing the same white cotton clothes, which were washed white and white. Standing in the wind, Xia Haoran's heart skipped a beat.
Occasionally, the wind blows through Li Mengyao's scattered hair and flutters in the wind. She is like an elf who has fallen to the mortal world and is suffering, or a fairy. Xia Haoran sighed and slowly stopped the car.
Next to her, he opened the passenger door and said, "Yaoyao, get in the car."
"Ah! Why did you drive here?" Li Mengyao asked in surprise. She was just staring at the pedestrians on the road and didn't even notice that a car suddenly stopped beside her, and the person driving the car was Xia Haoran.
"Haha, it's more convenient to drive by yourself. It's hard to get a taxi during the Chinese New Year. Besides, this is the first time I've come to your house. If it's not formal, how can I be attracted by my future father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Xia Haoran said with a giggle.
.
"Who are your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense, especially after you arrive at my house. If you talk nonsense, hum!" Li Mengyao snorted deliberately and gave Xia Haoran a hard look.
However, at this moment, Li Mengyao felt itchy in her heart. She was worried and scared. Is this guy really going to say this when he comes to my house this time? He secretly glanced at Xia Haoran who was driving next to him, and thought to himself:
"Actually, this guy looks pretty good, has good academic performance, and seems to be a nice person. If, if I can be his girlfriend in the future, it seems to be a good choice!" Thinking of this, Li Mengyao's little
His face suddenly turned red.
"Yao Yao, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed." Although Xia Haoran was driving, he had already seen the changes in the expression on Li Mengyao's face.
"No...I didn't think about anything." Li Mengyao waved her hand quickly, and then she was stunned when she heard clearly what Xia Haoran called her, "What...what did you call me?"
"Yao Yao, what's wrong? I remember Uncle Li called me like this last time. If I call you Li Mengyao, it would seem that our relationship is unfamiliar. We are classmates, do you mind if I call you Li Mengyao?"
Haoran said with a smile.
"Oh, then... okay then! Well, I, can I call you Haoran?" After hearing this, Li Mengyao couldn't help feeling grateful, and then whispered.
It is said that the children of poor people become rich early, and this is especially true for Li Mengyao. It’s not that she doesn’t understand the warmth and warmth of society, but her mother’s incident made her understand how disadvantaged her family is... Therefore, Li Mengyao’s heart is filled with unknowing thoughts.
During her sleep, she became wary and defensive of all boys who tried to get close to her. Therefore, she seldom talked to boys, let alone said she had male friends.
Over the years, due to her mother's health and her family's condition, she has been living in seclusion and has no satisfactory friends around her. For many times, she had no one to talk to about her grievances, and she felt very lonely.
Ever since I met Xia Hao, even though I only exchanged a few words with him every time, this sunny boy always made me feel relaxed and happy. Is this love? Li Mengyao thought in her heart more than once
Ask yourself. "Of course! You can call me Haoran, Haozi, whatever you want. You can call me whatever you like." Xia Haoran suddenly looked very embarrassed and said excitedly.
In fact, Xia Haoran was already happy at this moment. It seems that Li Mengyao also accepted herself from the bottom of her heart, otherwise, she would not have said that just now. Originally, Xia Haoran was still thinking about taking Mother Li in the future
As an excuse, I am not afraid that Li Mengyao will not compromise, but now it seems that it is no longer needed.
"Yaoyao, is Uncle Li at home today?"
"Yeah. Dad heard that you were coming over today, so he took a day off to stay home."
"Oh, that's good! It seems that I have quite a lot of face." Xia Haoran said with a smile.
Shanty towns actually refer to those houses within the city that have high density, long service life, poor quality, small per capita building area, incomplete infrastructure, inconvenient transportation, high security and fire hazards, and dirty and chaotic environment.
Poor area.
In some big cities, some people also call them ‘urban villages’.
Many developing cities have such shantytowns. Of course, not all the houses in shantytowns are bungalows. There are also some buildings. However, these buildings are not much better than bungalows. There are no gas pipes, no network lines, etc.
Wait...some even don't have kitchen exhaust ducts.
Xia Haoran has seen reports and information about urban villages on the computer. This is a nest and concentration camp occupied by a group of urban ants. Since the reform and opening up, cities have become more and more lively and rural areas have become more and more desolate. Most migrant workers
and college students flock to the city. In order to survive, they often live in a small space, sharing toilets and washrooms...
Therefore, Xia Haoran didn't think anything after seeing the real scene in front of him. He just frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Li Mengyao would live in such a bad environment. The dirty coal piles and muddy streets,
Stinking garbage dumps and black ditches...
In this harsh environment, a group of civilian school beauties like Li Mengyao were born!
The smell of this place is really pungent. Xia Haoran drove the car slowly while looking at the scene outside the car window. He felt sad for a while and muttered to himself, "It turns out that Mengyao lives in such an environment.
Ah, it seems that my plan to pick up girls will be implemented ahead of schedule."
"The conditions here are poor, don't laugh at it." Li Mengyao couldn't help but said when she saw Xia Haoran staring out the window and occasionally frowning.
"Haha, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised." Xia Haoran smiled.
Xia Haoran parked the car at the entrance of an alley. It was difficult to turn in. There were messy things piled at the door of every house, so it was difficult to go in.
At this time, the residents in the alley looked at this brightly colored car in surprise and looked obviously expensive.
Usually, there are very few cars that can come to this shanty town. Except for taxis, few people living here can afford a car. Anyone who can afford a luxury car will not be able to live here.
Bought a house in a better place.
"What is this?" Li Mengyao saw Xia Haoran locking the car and picking up a few bags from the back seat.
"Oh, these are just some fruits I brought to my aunt. It's the first day of the new year. As a boyfriend, I can't come empty-handed, right?" Xia Haoran shook the plastic bag in his hand and said with a smile.
Mengyao was a little moved after hearing this: "Thank you."
"Hey! Who is that young man?" asked an old man at the entrance of the alley.
"I don't know, maybe it's the boyfriend that the girl from the Li family brought back!" the old aunt said.
"Oh, that's good, look at that young man driving a car!"
"Yes, that girl from the Li family has been excellent in both morals and studies since she was a child, and she is also good-looking. I have already said that she will definitely marry into a good family in the future."
Although the voices of the two of them were not loud, they could still be clearly heard by Xia Haoran and Li Mengyao who were passing by. Xia Haoran deliberately turned his head and glanced at Na Nizi's face, and Li Mengyao's face immediately changed.
Got to be red.
However, the reason why others say that is why Mengyao is following Xia Haoran like a little bird at this moment? People can't help but think about it.
So, the two of them could only pretend not to hear and continue walking forward.
"Hey! Isn't this Yaoyao? Why didn't you go out to play today? Hey, who is this young man?" After walking a few steps, another familiar neighbor aunt came over.
Li Mengyao secretly wondered what was going on today, why did she keep running into acquaintances!
"Aunt Zhang, this is me..." Li Mengyao was at a loss and thought about how she should introduce her.
Seeing this, Xia Haoran stepped forward and nodded to Aunt Zhang generously, and said politely: "Hello Aunt Zhang, I am Yaoyao's classmate and a good friend. I am a guest at her home today."
"Oh, okay, I know what young people are like. The young man looks talented and is very polite. Yaoyao, you are really discerning!" Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, making a look that said I was very satisfied.
"Aunt Zhang, please stop making fun of me!" Li Mengyao immediately felt embarrassed after hearing this.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm telling you the truth. I won't delay you any longer. Go home quickly!" Aunt Zhang said with a smile and waved her hand.
"These people are really..." After Aunt Zhang left, Li Mengyao said to Xia Haoran with some complaints: "Aunt Zhang is an old neighbor here and likes to chat with others. What you said just now will wait until tomorrow.
The whole piece is known!”
"What do you know?" Xia Haoran deliberately showed a bad expression and said to Li Mengyao: "Please! I'm just telling the truth. Besides, even if she doesn't say it, do you think other neighbors won't say it?
Huh? You know, there is no airtight wall in this world!"
"Huh! What you said makes sense!" Li Mengyao glared at Xia Haoran slightly and said.
"I'm thinking about you, you, who are you!" Xia Haoran deliberately pretended to be aggrieved, but he muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if word gets out, you will be mine sooner or later anyway.
people..."
"Haoran, what are you muttering about?"
"No, I'm not mumbling anything! Well, Yaoyao, how long do we have to walk to get to your house?" Xia Haoran felt guilty and quickly changed the subject!
