Meng Jiajia's words are tantamount to giving charcoal in the snow to Li Yan. Li Yan turned around and looked at Meng Jiajia. No one would refuse such a good thing, but at this moment Li Yan's face was filled with doubts.
Li Yan worried that under the offensive of his family, Meng Jiajia would speak out about his hiding place, and that way Li Yan would not be able to run away.
Meng Jiajia seems to understand what Li Yan is thinking. In her eyes, Li Yan is worthy of sympathy but also very strange. Generally speaking, men as big as Li Yan want to go home early, but Li Yan chose runaway. Meng Jiajia didn’t know that Li Yan’s wife was arsenicing in Li Yan’s food all day long, hoping that Li Yan would return to the West soon. Meng Jiajia didn’t understand that although the Li family is a famous family, the Li family is as cold as strangers, and some are only cynic Repeated sarcasm and secret calculations.
"Sister, thank you for your kind invitation, but I now..." Li Yan didn't know how to explain to Meng Jiajia. Some words were too incomprehensible for a little girl who was not well involved in the world and hadn't grown up.
"Big brother, I won't talk nonsense about you living in my house, don't worry, our house is not small, big brother, you come to live, you will count 300 yuan for your room every month." After a few days Contacting Meng Jiajia knows that Li Yan is a man of spine. He would definitely not want to let Li Yan eat and drink for nothing in her house.
300 yuan room rate? Such housing prices are not expensive in a city like Jiangzhou, and Meng Jiajia promised not to tell her about living in her house. Li Yan believed what Meng Jiajia could say.
Without thinking about it, Li Yan turned around and nodded to Meng Jiajia: "Thank you, my sister. I will pay back the rent and the 120 yuan I owe you next month."
Li Yan said decisively this time, leaving no room for herself.
Meng Jiajia giggled and looked back at the sleeping father Meng. Then he waved his small hand at Li Yan: "Let's go, big brother, I will take you to my house first."
Li Yan nodded after hearing the words and followed Meng Jiajia. After crossing several roads, Meng Jiajia took Li Yan to the famous low-rent area in Jiangzhou.
The people living here are ordinary people who can't afford a house. The bungalows and red brick buildings are connected together, forming a messy and messy scene with winding paths. Compared with other urban areas in Jiangzhou, this place looks shabby. Down again.
Seeing such a scene, Li Yan couldn't help but worry about whether Meng Jiajia's home could live in one more person. While in the hospital, Li Yan knew from his knowledge that Meng Jiajia's family had taken her grandfather in hospital with a total of five people, and Meng Jiajia also had a younger brother who was still in junior high school.
Not long after, Meng Jiajia led Li Yan into an urban-rural fringe, which, to put it bluntly, was an urban village. This kind of village is no longer common in Jiangzhou City. Meng Jiajia opened the door of a small courtyard with a single gate, and Li Yan followed in, but saw that the small courtyard with a single gate was built in the style of a courtyard in the north, from blue bricks and green tiles. Look, this little yard is a little old.
Meng Jiajia turned around and said to Li Yan with some embarrassment: "Big Brother, this is our house, you can just stay here for a while."
After speaking, Meng Jiajia took Li Yan into the West Wing, which, to put it bluntly, was the place where guests lived in ancient times.
As soon as Li Yan followed Meng Jiajia into the West Wing, she smelled a pungent musty smell. It seems that this West Wing has not been inhabited for a long time. In this small room, there is only a 15-watt light bulb and a wooden bed.
Li Yan walked to the edge of the wooden bed and touched the wooden board with his finger.
Crunch!
With a crisp sound, the wooden bed made a sound when Li Yan didn't use much force, and it seemed that the wooden bed and legs seemed to be crumbling and drunk.
Meng Jiajia couldn't help but her complexion was pink. Meng Jiajia stroked her hair and said embarrassedly: "Big brother, or else, I will let you sleep in my room first. No one has come to live in this house for a long time. It’s the first time I opened the door of this room. I didn’t expect it to be so bad..."
"No need." Li Yan smiled. For Li Yan, his body is nothing but a skin for cultivation. No matter how well he lives, it will not help him to improve his cultivation level. Moreover, this single-door courtyard is quite secluded. For Li Yan, this quiet place is a good place for cultivation.
Li Yan turned to Meng Jiajia and said, "Sister, it would be nice to have a place to live. How can I trouble you? That's it, thank you girl. I think it's quite quiet and suitable here."
Meng Jiajia's face turned redder after hearing Li Yan's words, and a woman walked in outside the courtyard just to open her mouth.
This woman is about forty years old. At this age, she is not too old, but she wears blue work clothes but her temples are already pale. Deep wrinkles extend from the corners of the eyes to the cheeks, and the woman's face looks a little tired and vicissitudes of life.
This woman is Ye Xiaomei, the hostess of this small courtyard.
Ye Xiaomei was surprised to see that the courtyard door was open. Today is Sunday. Her husband is working overtime in the factory. His son is in the third year of junior high school to make up lessons. His daughter is with his grandfather in the hospital. Why is the door open
There was nothing valuable at home, so Ye Xiaomei walked into the yard carrying a plastic bag.
Ye Xiaomei saw that the locks of the main rooms were all intact, and then turned to the West Wing.
The door of the West Wing was open, and Ye Xiaomei speeded up, walking over with caution on her face.
"Jiajia, why are you back now? Huh, how do you bring someone back?" Ye Xiaomei was shocked when she saw Li Yan.
Meng Jiajia didn't expect her mother to be back at this time.
Meng Jiajia hurriedly explained to Ye Xiaomei: "Mom, this is a friend in a ward with my grandfather. He came to work from another place. He has not found a place to live after he was discharged from the hospital. Give it to him."
"Rent? Why don't we be so embarrassed to rent this house to..." Ye Xiaomei said to her lips and quickly closed it back.
Ye Xiaomei glanced at Li Yan and saw that Li Yan looked gentle and didn't look like a bad person. Ye Xiaomei quickly pulled Meng Jiajia aside and asked in a low voice: "How much is the rent?"
"300." Meng Jiajia answered honestly.
"300?" Ye Xiaomei raised her eyebrows. Originally, his son Meng Xiaohu was worried about taking the exam, and the extra 300 yuan a month would be like an extra income for a family like them.
The room was rented to others for 300 yuan, which made Ye Xiaomei feel a little sad. Ye Xiaomei complained that her daughter hadn't notified herself in advance, while taking out a pair of bedding from the main room and putting it on the bed.
Li Yan stood beside Meng Jiajia. Meng Jiajia blinked at Li Yan and spit out her pink tongue.
Li Yan smiled, and then walked to Ye Xiaomei's side and said: "Auntie, don't have to work, you can put these things here, I will pack it myself later."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to ask you to live in such a simple room..." I was a little surprised just now, and Ye Xiaomei only realized that the room was full of unpleasant musty smells.
Moreover, careful Ye Xiaomei found that the corners of the room were covered with spider webs and flies flying around. It was really hard for people to live in such a room for three hundred a month.
Ordinary families have the benefits of ordinary families. I have to say that Li Yan felt warm and sincere in Meng Jiajia's home.
Li Yan waved his hand to Ye Xiaomei and said, "Auntie, it's okay. This room is pretty good. If you change to someone else's house, there is no such room, I will live here."
What Li Yan said, Ye Xiaomei couldn't say anything. Ye Xiaomei smiled at Li Yan and pulled her daughter out.
"Jiajia, what you did today is not right." Ye Xiaomei pulled Meng Jiajia to the back room and said with a straight face.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Meng Jiajia thought her mother was going to reprimand herself for bringing in an outsider rashly and couldn't help but bow her head to admit her mistake.
Ye Xiaomei smiled when he saw Meng Jiajia like this: "Jiajia, it is a good thing to solve the burden for the family, but if you charge so much money, it’s not right. I saw that young man, he should be a non-money migrant worker. For us, 300 yuan may be your brother's tuition fee for a week, but it is a huge expenditure for others. People, to work hard in society and survive in this world must know how to tolerate and understand each other. "
As a mother, Ye Xiaomei, although she is just an ordinary woman who can no longer be ordinary, her heart is kind. It is no wonder that under the teaching of this family atmosphere, Meng Jiajia is so outstanding is inevitable.
Meng Jiajia nodded when she heard the words, and today she offered a price of 300 yuan a month with Li Yan, she was indeed a little ignorant.
Seeing that her daughter was so sensible, Ye Xiaomei didn't say much, Meng Jiajia continued to go back to the hospital to accompany her grandfather, and Ye Xiaomei was also busy starting lunch.
After Li Yan simply took care of the house, he went out and ate a bowl of dumplings. Then Li Yan returned to the room and started practicing.
In the following month, Li Yan's key task is to find a job that suits him, and then cultivate his body to the Mahayana realm of the first level of "Hundred Vein Divine Power Art". With this state, I believe it will be much easier for myself to break into society in the future.
