I trade in both worlds

"What's the point of making it up? I didn't make it up at all. I was just looking for a reasonable reason for her to appear." Xu Ziqi said.

After saying that, he turned to Xu Xu and said, "Xu Xu, tomorrow you should find some patched clothes and make them as tattered as possible."

"Remember that you have been living in the mountains. You only came down from the mountains for the first time recently because your parents passed away. You have never been here before. If you ask me anything else, I just don't know. It's the truth anyway."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Because it was my first time here, I didn't know anything. I met Xiaoqing, and then I found out that she didn't have a cell phone, no ID card, and she had several children with her."

"So you take her to the police station and see if you can help her get an ID card so that it will be easier for her to find a job."

Xu Ziqing thought it was fine to say this. Except for not mentioning Dayunchao, everything else was true: "You should also talk about the children. There are only parents at home. I haven't seen anyone else."

"No." Xu Ziqi remembered that Xu Xu had been married before: "And Tiantian's father, this person is also said to have passed away."

"How did he die?" Xu Ziqing asked.

Xu Xu said without hesitation: "Let's say that when my father and I went up the mountain to chop wood, we were both bitten by a poisonous snake."

"Okay." Xu Ziqi said, "Also, if they ask you where you live in the mountains, just say that you are in the mountains and you walked for a day and a night to get down."

"If you are asked to lead them, just take them up the mountain. It's normal for them to not be able to find the way back when they go down the mountain for the first time."

"Also why did you go down the mountain? Have you ever gone down the mountain before?" Xu Ziqing added.

"Yes, that's right. Just say that it was your father who went down the mountain before, and this time it was your mother who asked you to leave the mountain and live outside."

"Originally you didn't want to leave, but there was not much food left at home, and there was no other money except two copper coins, so you packed up your things and brought the children down the mountain."

"Why do you say there are only two copper coins?" Xu Ziqing asked in confusion.

Xu Ziqi explained: "It's just a matter of selling two copper coins. It's a good opportunity to take this opportunity to cross the Ming Road."

In fact, Xu Xu was still a little resistant in her heart, but seeing that the brother and sister had tried every possible way for them, in order not to disappoint them, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Seeing her nod, Xu Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to continue fooling the three children.

After the discussion, early the next morning, Xu Xu took out the clothes with the most patches in the house, changed everyone into tattered clothes, put on firecrackers, and put on straw sandals to come to the modern era.

Seeing that their clothes were all patched, Xu Ziqing looked around but couldn't find a single place that hadn't been mended.

"This dress is too tattered." Xu Ziqing sighed, "Even beggars wear better clothes than this."

Xu Xu looked at the clothes on her body and said, "Are they very torn? Many people's clothes in our area are like this."

Xu Ziqi looked at their clothes and was stunned for a long time. Although he originally planned to let them wear torn clothes, he didn't expect that the clothes would be so torn. The beggars on the street were dressed better than them.

In fact, they might be able to add a few points if they were dressed like this. After thinking it through, Xu Ziqi nodded: "These clothes are well chosen. Xiaojin, Xiaozhun, Weiwei, did you remember what I told you yesterday?"

Seeing the three nod, Xu Ziqi continued: "Then let me test you. Weiwei, go first. Where did you live before?"

Xu Qiwei replied: "Live in the mountains."

"Who is in the mountains?"

"Mother, uncle and sister."

"Any more?"

"Nothing."

"Do you have a father?"

"No."

"Where's grandpa?"

Xu Qiwei scratched his head, glanced at Xu Xu, thought for a moment and said, "No."

Xu Ziqi continued to ask: "Where's grandma?"

"Grandma is gone."

"Great." Xu Ziqi touched his head and praised him, "You should answer like this when someone asks you something later. As long as you don't make any mistakes, I'll reward you with ice cream when I come back."

"Wow, thank you Uncle Xu." Xu Qiwei jumped up with joy.

Xu Ziqi turned around and had the same conversation with the twins, except that the answers were slightly different.

After making sure that the children had remembered it, the brother and sister took Xu Xu's family to the town's police station, which was quite small.

There were only two service windows inside, three or four people sitting in the waiting area, and a security guard standing next to the number machine.

He saw Xu Ziqi and his group come in, and looked at Xu Xu and the children back and forth several times.

Xu Xu and the three children were seen wearing Hanfu that was covered with patches. The cloth shoes on Xu Xu's feet were also covered with patches, and the three children were each wearing a pair of straw sandals.

The security guard's eyes almost popped out of his head. In his fifty-plus years of career, he had only worn straw sandals when he was a child. When he was a child, he would patch his clothes when they were torn, but it seemed that he hadn't seen clothes like theirs with patches on top of patches for twenty or thirty years.

Their lapels and sleeves were badly worn, and they were so patched up that you couldn't even tell what their clothes were originally like. Patches were everywhere you looked, and apart from being clean, their clothes weren't even as good as those worn by homeless people on the street.

The most important thing is that they were wearing Hanfu. The security guard looked up at the glass door, wondering if someone was filming nearby. They came here in costumes, right? That should be the case.

Xu Xu was so frightened by being stared at that she didn't even dare to breathe, her heart was pounding, she hugged Xu Tiantian tightly, lowered her head, and unconsciously hid behind Xu Ziqi. The three children also clung to Xu Xu nervously.

Seeing this, Xu Ziqing walked up to her, patted his arm and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, my brother and I are here, relax and don't hurt Tiantian."

Xu Xu slowly relaxed the strength of her hands and felt the nervousness of the three children. She vaguely regretted coming to the government here to handle household registration.

Seeing that they seemed frightened by him, the security guard quickly turned his gaze away and looked at Xu Ziqi, asking uncertainly: "Are you together? Are you filming?"

Xu Ziqi speechlessly glanced at the clothes on Xu Xu and the others again: "Yes, we are together, but we are not filming."

"You..." The security guard was confused, not knowing what he wanted to say. He opened his mouth and finally asked, "What business do you want to handle?"

Xu Ziqi replied: "Uncle, I would like to ask, besides these two service windows, are there any other staff members I can consult with?"

The security guard's eyes kept unconsciously turning back and forth between Xu Xu and the children: "What do you want to ask?"

Xu Ziqi pointed at Xu Xu and said, "They used to live in the mountains and they didn't have a household registration. I brought them here to ask how to handle this."
