Bursts of laughter and joy on the street came down. Outside was a very busy vegetable market street. Most of the vegetables were not very fresh. They were bought at low prices from many shops in the middle-class area. The quality was not very good, but it was real food.

Although the people at the bottom lived a very tense life, they would not always eat special liquid food. Basically, they would make a delicious meal for dinner, except for the need to deal with it at noon. After all, special liquid food was the cheapest.

Le Xiao held the carnation, hesitantly lowered her head, not knowing how to step on it. She was still wearing a uniform, and Le Xiao's cheeks were burning at this moment.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Le Xiao raised her head and looked at Gene shyly. Gene just smiled and said nothing. After a long time, he said.

"Will you come back if I tell you?"

Le Xiao shook her head and muttered softly.

"Just not coming back for the time being, wait until things are stable"

Gene stepped on the stairs, then turned around and tilted his head to look at Le Xiao with a slightly serious expression.

"Don't you think this is not your home when you put on this uniform?"

Le Xiao raised her head and looked at Gene in surprise.

"No, this is my home, I..."

Gene turned around and walked away, lifting up his uniform.

"I'll go first."

Wait

Le Xiao's face turned red, her heartbeat accelerated, she gritted her teeth and followed, the sun was a bit dazzling, after walking out of the long dark subway, Le Xiao held the brim of her hat, surrounded by the sound of bargaining, this street is located in the center of Slum No. 2, most of the houses here are at most 2 stories high, most of them are sheds, built with simple metal brackets, covered with a layer of strong tarpaulin, there are many people living here, most of them are citizen level 1 to 2.

The road was muddy and unpaved. Because of the large number of people, and the small vegetable vendors would sprinkle water on the street to prevent dust from rising, many people had a monthly income of less than 500 yuan, and after spending the monthly family food expenses, there was basically nothing left. Because of the restrictions on citizenship, they could not find any jobs outside. The only way to make a living was to work on farms in the east or engage in some illegal activities.

It was just that this block had a good order. Because it was close to the South District, there were some local forces as managers, and even replaced the role of the Public Security Management Department for a time. The local Public Security Management Department would not intervene as long as no major incidents occurred. This block had a delicate balance.

As soon as she set foot on this land, Le Xiao's memory of this area revived in her head. At this moment, she became more and more aware of the difficulties of living here.

But somehow, the originally noisy street was unusually quiet at this time. Le Xiao came to her senses and found that pairs of eyes were staring at her incredulously. Le Xiao lowered her head awkwardly, not knowing whether to go or continue to stay.

"I'm not mistaken, it's really Su Xin's daughter, you are Le Xiao, right?"

An auntie who was buying vegetables suddenly shouted, and many people nearby looked at Le Xiao in surprise and then started to talk about it, but many people looked happy.

"It's really Le Xiao."

"I saw your speech on TV last night."

"You said it very well. We have to work hard. You are really promising. It turns out that Su Xin was right to raise money to send you to college."

For a moment, Le Xiao was stunned. These people didn't care about the false information about Le Xiao's identity at all. Instead, they surrounded her and kept talking. Le Xiao smiled awkwardly. Suddenly, Le Xiao seemed to remember something. It was true that her mother was a businessman, because her mother did sell some handicrafts, help people clean or cook on some construction sites, and her father was a former councilor. Although Le Xiao didn't know this, her father did work in a company with high salaries. When she was a child, Le Xiao often heard people talking behind her back, saying that if it weren't for her father, their family would have a better life. After all, although Le Xiao's family was shabby, they had an independent house in a better place in this slum.

But at this time, more attention was on Gene. Many people were talking to him. Gene was carefully selecting vegetables at several vegetable stalls and bargaining with several vegetable vendors. He didn't look like a section chief at all. In particular, many women were almost angry and stared at Gene eagerly.

"Thank you, everyone. I want to go home today."

Le Xiao kept talking. Thinking carefully, her mother didn't seem to tell the neighbors what school she went to, but just said it was a good school.

Finally, she finished dealing with it. Le Xiao looked at Gene, who was already carrying a lot of vegetables tied with ropes, and bought some relatively fresh meat and rice noodles. He was carrying a lot of them, and there were envious eyes all around.

"Does anyone care about your past?"

Le Xiao lowered her head, hugged the carnation, and nodded. It was the first time that she could receive praise from people on the street when she went home like this. Many people asked Le Xiao to come back often.

At this time, Le Xiao walked to the corner of the street. If she turned around and walked straight, she would be home in a short while. Le Xiao knew the auntie selling things at the corner. She had given her candy and biscuits when she was a child. The auntie smiled happily when she saw Le Xiao selling things.

"Le Le, come here."

Le Xiao took off her hat and ran over with a smile.

"For Le Xiao."

A candy was handed over. Le Xiao hurriedly took out her wallet, but the auntie stuffed the candy into Le Xiao's hand.

"You are finally successful now, Lele. You are fine now. By the way, you should go home quickly. Those people have been coming to your house to ask for money these days." Le Xiao was anxious when she heard this. She ran away in a hurry. Crystal tears overflowed from her eyes. Many people looked at her along the way and soon followed her.

Whoosh whoosh

Jin had jumped to the roof, carrying a bunch of things. In a few steps, he had already arrived at the roof opposite Le Xiao's house.

At this time, there were three people sitting at the door of Le Xiao's house, basking in the sun comfortably. A scoundrel looked like he was leaning against the two-story house, basking in the sun and laughing.

Su Xin in the house was sitting on a chair, doing handwork. Some handmade ornaments, most of which were made of stone. After carving and coloring, they can become good ornaments. There were all over the table.

"I said Su Xin, when are you going to pay back the money? The interest for this month is due." At this time, a guy at the door laughed and said, and the other one glanced at Su Xin and said.

"You look good, how about I introduce you to some shops where you can make money without doing anything?"

Su Xin stood up and walked out, and poured a basin of water out in anger.

"I will pay you back in a few days, go back now."
