Chapter 24 This is a terrible age
PS: (This chapter is updated for the leader Tianhai Xiangyun Ge, and the chapters at noon and evening remain unchanged.)
Ye Chuan, who left Tianhe Academy, was in a good mood. Although it took time for the results of the three major rating agencies to come out, it was not too bad. He also gave a satisfactory explanation for his studies during this period.
According to Xiaobai, it will take not long to finish the learning of the first unit of reverse logic encoding, enter the second unit, and learn more clever coding techniques. Perhaps Ye Chuan can write more powerful genetic armor than Qingdie, which is unknown.
In short, Ye Chuan's eyes now see hope in his eyes, and his mood naturally becomes happy.
When passing by Mr. Li’s shop, Ye Chuan was stopped by Li Dongsheng.
"Wang Dazhu of Building 7 will get married tomorrow. His mother came to me to borrow a pound of pork. I blamed me for being too high-profile recently. It made everyone know that my shop makes meat and vegetables every day." Mr. Li frowned and said.
This is what the slums look like. People who are about to get married can't even get some meat fishy. Many people even don't know what eating meat tastes like in their lifetime.
Ye Chuan thought for a while and said, "I know Wang Dazhu, a very decent person. He also has a little sister, who is twelve years old and looks like she is seven or eight years old. It is because of too little oil and water, and the bone frame has never developed."
Uncle Li sighed and said, "That's right, the neighbors nearby are all miserable. There are many people who are worse than the Wang family."
Ye Chuan nodded and said, "If you borrow it, you will be exempted. Give two kilograms of meat. One kilogram is too small and it is not enough to stuff the gap between your teeth. By the way, there are also five kilograms of white rice brought by the fifth brother last time. If you can, please help me."
Uncle Li agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
I picked a piece of fat pork belly from the freezer, weighed one, two or three taels, and then filled five kilograms of white rice. Li Dongsheng carried it one on the left and one on the right and delivered it to the Wang family.
The Wang family was squatting in the cottage and worried. The old mother at home had no job, so she pointed at Wang Dazhu and earned money to support the family alone. These days, the salary was extremely low. Wang Dazhu worked hard day and night, and only paid about 400 yuan a month. Apart from 150 yuan of rent, water and electricity, the whole family had just half full.
Ye Chuan lived alone in a small apartment of 20 square meters, but the Wang family members were crowded in a room five square meters smaller than Ye Chuan. When Wang Dazhu married his wife and had children, he would be five or six people living together for four generations. The family conditions were really miserable.
Wang Dazhu originally did not plan to get married. After all, one more person would open his mouth. How can he eat, drink, and wear clothes?
But my mother refused to agree. She was the only one in the family and she still hoped that Dazhu would pass on the family line for the Wang family. In order to raise money to get married, she even considered selling her second-young family.
If Dazhu hadn't been irresistible, the poor Erya would have been sold to a kiln at this moment. With her small body, she would probably have returned to her life in such a place in a few years.
He was so forced that he had no choice. Wang Dazhu quickly found a woman a few years younger than him and prepared to start a family.
Although the Wang family is poor, no one is willing to marry in. After all, the daughter is raised at home and can save money on food when she gets married. No matter how poor Wang Dazhu is during the holidays, he has to be a little filial to him. No one can settle the calculation.
Years of struggle with the mutant beasts have greatly imbalanced the ratio of men and women on earth. There are more women than men. In addition, many bachelors who are unwilling to be implicated by their wives and children, which has led to most of the time when women are worried about marrying. When men have a job to make a living, they don’t have to worry about marrying their wives.
Seeing that the marriage was settled, the girl had no requirements at home, so she bought a new dress and had a meal together.
The Wang family couldn't even meet this requirement. It was impossible to invite children and in-laws to have a meal, but it was not enough to have a bit of wine and meat. The Wang family's mother thought of Mr. Li who runs a grocery store downstairs. Recently, Ye Chuan has made a lot of delicious food, and the neighbors and neighbors were drooling when they smelled the smell.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Dazhu opened the doorman Li Dongsheng and let him enter the room. He put more than two pounds of pork belly and a small bag of white rice on the table. The whole family stared at him, and Erya, who had a pale face and thin skin, swallowed her saliva hard.
"Master Li, you are our great benefactor!" The mother of the Wang family's eyes turned red and she was about to kneel to the ground.
Li Dongsheng quickly helped her up and said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me. This is a gift from Ye Chuan. Mine is here."
Li Dongsheng took out another bottle of wine and a box of fruit candy. Although the Wang family did not intend to invite neighbors to give the neighbors a few pieces of candy to the neighbors, they still wanted it. Li Dongsheng thought it very carefully.
"Ye Chuan!?" The Wang family was stunned.
Ye Chuan has always been low-key. Although he would say hello when meeting, he never said much. This time when Wang Dazhu got married, Ye Chuan gave such a heavy gift, which really made the Wang family both happy and nervous.
Sitting and saying a few words, Li Dongsheng only said that Ye Chuan had a good fortune recently and was from neighbors. He looked down and didn't look up and was willing to help. Just remember this favor from the Wang family, and there is no need to pay it back.
Li Dongsheng and Ye Chuan had a very unusual relationship. Li Dongsheng was also happy to hear the Wang family thanking Ye Chuan for his gratitude.
Li Dongsheng has been kind-hearted over the years and has helped many people. Ye Chuan is the one who pleased him the most. He is not only open-minded, but also knows how to repay kindness. If Ye Chuan hadn't been short of money now, Li Dongsheng would have wanted to give him the grocery store he had run for the rest of his life.
Two pounds of meat and five pounds of rice are nothing to Ye Chuan, but they are equally helping the Wang family. Without saying anything, the family of three followed Li Dongsheng to Ye Chuan's house and felt grateful and cried bitterly, which made Ye Chuan a little at a loss.
After seeing off Wang Dazhu's family, Ye Chuan frowned and lit a cigarette. Uncle Li didn't smoke, but he actually lit one in his hand.
"The neighbors are really too poor. There is something I always want to say, I am afraid that you don't like to listen, so I keep it in my stomach." Mr. Li sighed and said.
Ye Chuan said: "You can just say it right if we are with each other."
Uncle Li nodded and said, "Then I said that I know that Shilixiang Farm invites you to be the owner. You actually don't want to. After all, the farm was not built by you, so you don't want to take other people's things for no reason."
Ye Chuan smiled slightly, "You always say it wrong. I like to take other people's things for no reason, but I don't take my friends'."
"Good and smooth-talking." Mr. Li looked at Ye Chuan and continued, "It is not a good thing that Shilixiang Farm can develop in your hands. By then, the scope of the farm will be expanded and there will always be more people, right? If a man like Wang Dazhu follows you, the family will never be worse than now."
"It's not that people living in our slums cannot do it, but they don't have the chance. Even if they go to farm outside the city, they have to pick up some of them. When they hear that they come out of the slums, the farms will look unhappy."
"The rumors hurt people. They all say that our slums are thieves. Don't you know the actual situation? Wang Mazi, Jin Jiuzhi and other people are indeed thieves, but have you seen them stealing in our area? Hu Gua is a clumsy guy. Every time I see me, I have to call you "Uncle". No matter how arrogant he is outside, he has never bullied the people in our area."
"This is the real slum. Even the thieves in our area have feelings and rules, not to mention ordinary people like Dazhu. If they have the chance, they will never do worse than others."
Ye Chuan nodded. The slums were misunderstood too much by outsiders and thought they were a beast. I remember that when I first entered the city, I was unaware of it, and I was in a wealthy area or a community where the middle class lived. I was kicked out countless times.
Until I came here and had no place to live, I squeezed into the shed outside with the homeless people and had no food. Uncle Li and some neighbors in a slightly better condition gave me some help, and this is where I am today.
"This is really a deadly era." Mr. Li sighed: "From Dazhu's family to your house, his sister Erya almost fainted in just a few steps. When I asked, I found out that in order to save money, the whole family insisted on having only one meal a day for Dazhu's wife, and they were hungry."
