Although Ma Xiaoqian didn't want to accept Bai Xue's favor anymore, the situation was very realistic and she couldn't go far on her own, so she could only nod in agreement.

"Thank you."

Ma Xiaoqian's voice was as quiet as a mosquito. She never said thank you to anyone.

Today was an exception, she told Bai Xue twice.

Bai Xue supported Ma Xiaoqian, who was limping. Accompanied by Bai Xue, she walked down the path of the sycamore tree.

Ma Xiaoqian's family lives in the west area of ​​Changzheng Factory.

The West District is the worst residential area in the whole factory. There are more than a hundred buildings lined up in rows, all of which are tube buildings.

This time period is also the busiest time here.

The aroma of the food is mixed with various sounds, and the most life-like scene is here mixed into a ball and rushing towards the white snow.

Bai Xue looked at the layout of these tube buildings. Each person's home was no more than forty square meters, and the accommodation conditions were very simple.

The entire West District was originally a dormitory area for single workers. Later, single people also got married and had children.

More than ten years later, they still could not get a two-bedroom and one-living house, so they packed the whole family here.

Ma Xiaoqian's family is even less likely to be allocated a house because they are migrants who have been transferred to work.They have been in Jiangzhou for several years, and their family of four still lives in a cramped and crowded tube building.

Ma Xiaoqian was walking in the dim corridor and asked Bai Xue unexpectedly.

"Your family lives in the South District, right?"

Although the houses in the South District are not as big as those in the North District, compared with the houses in the West District, they are simply the difference between heaven and hell.

"Yes."

Bai Xue's voice was lowered. She didn't want Ma Xiaoqian to hear it too clearly.

However, Ma Xiaoqian still heard it, and these two words were infinitely amplified.

Finally, Ma Xiaoqian smiled.

"Two bedrooms and one living room, are you comfortable? I heard that every house has a toilet, and you can take a shower in the toilet."

Bai Xue was startled slightly, and her face turned red.

"Okay."

She tried her best to make life as unsatisfactory as possible, "I still have to boil and fetch water to take a bath. It's very troublesome."

Her trouble, compared to the trouble in her previous life, was that hot water could not come out just by twisting it.For Ma Xiaoqian, this little trouble is a sweet burden.

Bai Xue has never experienced the life in Tongzilou, and it was not described in the original book.

My mother was a nurse. As a result of a rescue operation, my mother received a certificate, so she was lucky enough to be assigned a house in the South District.

I grew up in the South District, which isn't the best, but it's not bad either.

Bai Xue passed by the corridor, trying to avoid the piles of debris as much as possible.

Life in this Tongzilou, in Ma Xiaoqian's words, is just trying to survive.

Bai Xue repeated the four words "living on", feeling a little out of breath and filled with despair.

But they are obviously a family together, even if they live in the smallest house, there is no need to use these four desperate words, right?

There was a clang, and Bai Xue didn't know whose fault he had kicked.

After a violent noise, Bai Xue held Ma Xiaoqian's arm and clearly felt the goosebumps on her arm.She has already had a physical reaction to her disgust here.

"It's too narrow, I'd better go back by myself," Ma Xiaoqian's voice became awkward.

Bai Xue shook her head and continued to help Ma Xiaoqian go upstairs.

"We'll be there soon, I'll take you back."

Go to the end of the corridor on the third floor.Ma Xiaoqian opened the door of her home.

Standing in front of the door, Bai Xue looked at the house in front of him. It was no more than 30 square meters at most. The owner separated two spaces with floral cloth.Among them, the innermost corner is tightly surrounded by curtains and should be where adults live.

There were two extremely narrow beds near the door. One of the beds was occupied by a six or seven-year-old boy. The boy was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, eating ice cream.

When he saw Ma Xiaoqian coming back, the boy was furious.

"Why did you come back? Do you want to starve me to death?"

Ma Xiaoqian spoke calmly and didn't even raise her eyelids.

"Aren't you dead yet?"

The boy was not convinced, and saying he had lost made him even more angry, "Silly sister! I told you, I'm hungry! Go and cook for me."

This was someone else's family matter, and Bai Xue couldn't interfere. She helped Ma Xiaoqian to her bed and settled Ma Xiaoqian down.

Seeing Ma Xiaoqian sitting there with no intention of cooking for herself, the boy went crazy. He jumped up from the bed and kicked Ma Xiaoqian on the head.

"Ok!"

Ma Xiaoqian's head was kicked violently by him, and she groaned. She tilted her head to one side and hit the backrest of the wooden bed with a clang.

"Silly sister! If you don't cook for me, I'll beat you to death!"

"Wow!"

Wails broke through the dull atmosphere in the room.

At this time, all the grievances were vented from Ma Xiaoqian's chest, and she lay on the bed and cried loudly.

Bai Xue didn't know how to comfort Ma Xiaoqian, but she knew how to deal with evil-minded children.

The boy rushed up and tried to tear Ma Xiaoqian's hair.Unexpectedly, Bai Xue took a quick step and directly stopped the boy's waist, grabbed his shoulders, and pushed him to the bed.

"What are you doing? Believe it or not, I called the police and put you in jail so that you can't eat popsicles every day. There are also countless bullies beating you, so that you can't live or die!"

The boy was not afraid at all and started cursing wildly.

These words should not come out of a boy's mouth, but like shit spewing from a cesspool.

The boy's expressive ability was fragmented, but Bai Xue could still hear something from his words.

He is Ma Xiaoqian's younger brother. Their parents work two shifts and are now working night shifts. The boy is waiting at home for Ma Xiaoqian to come back to cook. He is starving to death and no one comes back to cook for him.

"Idiot! Go and cook quickly. Why are you crying?"

The boy roared at the top of his lungs.

She has absolutely no respect for her family, or even respect between people...

Bai Xue was very upset. She hated the child scolding her the most.If it were an adult, Bai Xue would have been tough by now.

Bai Xue twitched the corner of her mouth and pulled the boy's clothes. Bai Xue didn't tolerate him and put his head at Ma Xiaoqian's feet, causing the boy to roar.

"let me go!"

Bai Xue's tone was high, half lecturing and half threatening.

"Your sister sprained her foot just now. Did he deliberately not come back to cook for you? Besides, if you miss one meal, you won't starve to death!"

"I'm going to starve to death now!" The boy refused to let go and started to scold Bai Xue.

"Okay, show me your death."

Bai Xue couldn't help but push the boy away.

The boy cried loudly, his cry louder than Ma Xiaoqian's, as if he was the one who was wronged.

"Where did you get out of here? You are not good people!"

The boy roared, pointing his little finger at his sister Ma Xiaoqian, "Get out of here!"

Ma Xiaoqian gradually stopped crying. She took the handkerchief handed over by Bai Xue, wiped away her tears, and her eyes returned to indifference.

"Don't worry, I know I'm redundant. I'll have to leave sooner or later."

The boy sneered, and this sneer made Bai Xue shudder.It is said that children are the most innocent and lovely, but in this boy, Bai Xue only felt horrible.

"Is it too late? Stop dreaming, you won't be able to stay at home for a few more days."
