Li Xinghe was originally worried that it was already past the off-duty time and he would not be able to contact Yang Chen, but now his heart dropped.
"Well, it's me. What a coincidence, it was you who answered the phone."
"Yes, I just came to work. I want to get familiar with the work, so I haven't left yet. Why did you call me? Uncle Li let you go? Where are you now?"
Li Xinghe smiled and said, "I'm in Yun Ding, and I brought my mother out."
"...You and your aunt are in Yun Ding?" Yang Chen couldn't believe it.
"Well, my mother and I came by bus and are now at the bus terminal. I am contacting you to ask if my mother and I are renting a house, we need a temporary residence permit. How can we apply for identity certificates."
Yang Chen's head was now a mess. He held back the questions in his heart for the time being and answered her question about the process of re-issuing ID cards. Their information must have been recorded during the census, so they applied for re-issuance.
It’s not difficult to get an ID card.
"So how did you get to Yunding?"
Without waiting for Li Xinghe to answer, Yang Chen said directly, "Forget it, you and your aunt will go back to the exit of the passenger terminal and wait for me. Don't move."
"Eh? No, no, no, I just need to confirm with you about the ID card first. I'll take my mother to find a place to live first. I'll apply for the ID card tomorrow and then we can find a house to rent."
"Take Auntie back and don't move. I'm quick."
Beep beep...the phone has been hung up.
I had no choice but to wait for him, otherwise it would be a waste of time if he ran over and couldn't find them.
Yang Chen arrived quickly, and he only needed one glance to see her. She was holding a few pieces of clothing in her hands, and she was holding her mother on the street at the exit of the passenger terminal.
After letting the taxi stop, he got out of the car and walked quickly towards them.
Li Xinghe also saw Yang Chen getting out of the car early. He had already made a rough draft and explained his decision to him clearly in one minute.
"So the injury on your shoulder is healed now?"
"Well, I recovered very quickly. The scabs have all formed and I don't feel anything at all."
He nodded and spoke again, "Xinghe, later I received a call asking me to come to the unit to report. The time was too tight, so I didn't go to say goodbye to you. And Uncle Li would never really..." He wanted to say that he
I don’t think they will really starve to death, but at this point, I don’t know how to continue expressing myself.
"I know, I already guessed that you have to go to work." She smiled to express her understanding.
He said silently, "Xinghe, the rent here is a bit expensive. I also live in a dormitory."
"I know, my mother and I rent a house by ourselves. We won't live with you."
"No, I don't mean that. I mean, even if you can work and make money, it's very difficult for you to bear the living expenses of you and your aunt alone and rent a house here. The salary of ordinary workers here is only
It’s a few hundred yuan, and renting a small one-bedroom house for you and your aunt will cost you a hundred yuan. Unless you rent a cheap bed, it’s very inconvenient to live in a bed for a long time.”
Li Xinghe smiled, he was really noisier than his mother, "Hey, don't worry, just help me teach me how to apply for an ID card. I can take care of the rest."
Yang Chen held his forehead, this girl was too impulsive. She didn't know how difficult it was to survive in the city, so she rushed over with her mother. She just graduated from junior high school, and it was impossible to earn a few hundred wages by working in a factory.
But people were already standing in front of them. If they were sent back, they might be beaten to death by Uncle Li.
Besides, his aunt was also listening, so it was hard for him to say more.
"Don't look for accommodation near the passenger terminal. It's a little more expensive here. I'll take you to a hotel near my work first, and I'll guarantee your stay. Let's apply for ID cards tomorrow."
He waved his hand to hail a taxi, and a Jetta taxi stopped right next to them. Yang Chen helped open the door, and after getting them into the car, he sat in the passenger seat.
"Master, go to the guest house next to the Fengle District Public Security Bureau."
"okay."
When he arrived at his destination, Li Xinghe took out the money he had prepared according to the meter and paid first.
The three people walked into the guest house and asked for a room. Yang Chen took out his work permit and ID card, filled out the form, and helped the mother and daughter reserve a room.
When Yang Chen was about to pay, Li Xinghe took the lead again. He glanced at her and said nothing, but the hotel front desk gave her a key with the room number pasted on it, "I'll take you to the room first, take a rest and then
Take you out to eat."
The room was neither big nor small, and the furnishings were quite decent. Fortunately, there was a separate bathroom. Yang Chen taught them how to flush the water after using the squatting toilet, and then unscrewed the faucet on the bathtub. After carefully rinsing the bathtub, he started to fill the water.
"After you help my aunt, come out for a while and we can chat again."
Li Xinghe helped his mother rub her back, washed her, and then helped her step into the bathtub. Wang Fang leaned on the edge of the bathtub and said softly, "It's worth dying now."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Your happy days will come later. You soak first, and I'll go out first."
She wiped her hands and when she went out, Yang Chen was sitting on the chair under the window next to the bed.
"Galaxy."
"Huh? Why are you so serious?" She sat on the bed opposite him.
This was a guest house room. She was sitting in front of him on the bed. Yang Chen's mind suddenly became confused and he moved his eyes unnaturally.
He smoothed over his thoughts and said, "Xinghe, you took your aunt here from Kaoshan Village. It will cost a lot for the two of you to travel."
"Well, it's quite expensive."
"You rushed to pay for the taxi just now, and you rushed to pay for this room for more than ten yuan. Why do you have so much money?"
"..."
"People in the village said... forget it, anyway, tell me how the money came from." He is a policeman, a graduate of the police academy. He knows too many cases. Li Xinghe is good-looking, and she has a kind of
It is easy for a beautiful and good-looking woman to make money without realizing it, and he dare not continue thinking about it.
Li Xinghe's smile didn't have time to take it back, and turned into a somewhat ugly smile, condensed on his face. "I thought you came to work early, but it turns out you already knew it. What did the people in the village say about what you heard?
?”
"Of course I don't believe it, the rumors are too ridiculous. We grew up together, and I know what kind of girl you are. But, how do you have so much money? Where did your money come from? Don't tell me that you are selling
You earn money from wild vegetables, and the wild vegetables have only been growing for a few days. Where can there be so many wild vegetables just waiting for you to pick them?"
"So you still believe the rumors."
"I didn't! I just asked where you got the money! Wait a minute, is it the money you stole from Uncle Li?"
"No, I'm tired. You can go back. Thank you for helping us find a place to live. I will take my mother to apply for ID cards tomorrow. Thank you."
After saying that, she stood up and walked to the door, opened it, and waited for Yang Chen to go out.
"Xinghe, I didn't mean that. I'll take you out to eat later." At this moment, Yang Chen felt a little regretful. She must have stolen it from home. Why didn't he think of this first?
Li Xinghe didn't answer and stubbornly opened the door.
The atmosphere was awkward. This was the first time there was a disagreement between the two of them. Yang Chen was extremely annoyed, but he had no choice but to say, "This is very close to the Public Security Bureau and is very safe. Then you guys have a good rest. Go to the first floor over there tomorrow to handle the matter. I'll find you when I get there."
I’ll be fine.”
Seeing that Li Xinghe still didn't respond, he could only get up and walk out.
She waited for him to disappear through the door and closed the door. The tears that had been lingering for a long time finally fell from her eyes.
