Lu Yunran was taken to the hospital for examination by comrades from the police station. After waiting for her parents to arrive for communication, Xu Yin quietly went home.

 Originally, the comrades at the police station asked her to go together.

“You have saved people, and everyone will definitely commend you.”

"No, no, no!" Xu Yin declined, "I just do it casually, and anyone who sees it will do it. Besides, the commendation must be made public, which is not good for Lu Yunran. I think we should handle this matter quietly. , don’t alarm the outside world.”

The female police officer looked at her approvingly and said, "I didn't expect that even though you are young, you think more clearly than many adults. Which school are you from? Why don't our director give you a certificate of courage for righteousness?" The school puts it in the file.”

Xu Yin also declined, determined not to commend him.

 “Little girl!”

The enthusiastic man who helped call the police hurried over after returning home, called to Xu Yin who was about to go home, and stuffed a box of hardcover chocolates into her hand.

"My grandson brought it back from a competition abroad. Neither his grandma nor I can get used to this bitter and sweet food. Children of your age should like it. You're welcome, take it and eat it! You worked hard today and you can get it Take good care of yourself!”

 “Thank you, sir!”

"Thank you! This is the unit where my uncle lives." The building on the left of the uncle, "Room 3 on the 7th floor, you can come and play anytime in the future!"

"okay."

The uncle waved his hands happily and looked down at her knees: "Oh, look at your pants. They are all like this. Did they get torn while rescuing people?"

Xu Yin lowered her head and took a look: Uh...it was the original body that cut the hole herself. It’s a rebellious fashion!

He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll go back and change it."

 Xu Yin hurriedly ran away.

 Her family does not live in this community.

House prices in this community are not low. With the little hard-earned money Xu Wanping earns from selling and delivering vegetables, she can't even afford the monthly rent, let alone buy it.

The mother and daughter live in the faculty and staff dormitory of a nearby junior high school. It is an old building with a sense of age. After the housing renovation, it became the private property of the faculty and staff.

 In recent years, qualified faculty and staff have gradually moved to newly purchased commercial buildings, which are either resold or rented out to earn rent.

After Xu Wanping divorced her husband Xu Youwei, she had no place to live with her daughter who had just entered elementary school. Her daughter's head teacher heard about her difficulties and asked a friend to introduce her to a house here, which was close to the school and the rent was low. .

 The apartment on the first floor with two bedrooms and one living room is enough for the mother and daughter to live in.

 The door to the courtyard on the first floor is open, making it easy to enter and exit.

 But there is also a disadvantage that many tenants are unwilling to live in - it is dark and damp.

Especially during the rainy season, the ground is as wet as if it has just been mopped with a wet mop. The wallpaper and mattresses are also damp. Clothes hung indoors on rainy days feel like they will never dry.

 But for this reason, the landlord has not raised the rent very much in recent years, and Xu Wanping is very satisfied.

However, due to the long rainy season this year, the floor has become a little damp these two days. When I went out in the morning, my daughter almost fell down and complained to her: "When can I live in a high-rise building? If I continue to live here, my whole body will become moldy." Got it!"

Xu Wanping has received several door-to-door delivery orders in the past two days. She goes out to the market in the morning and evening, and has to run to deliver goods under the bright sun during the day. She is so tired that her back aches. Seeing that her daughter was not only inconsiderate of her, but also dissatisfied with this and that, she got angry and criticized her a few times, but her daughter even talked back to her. Mother and daughter had a heated argument.

Dangma got angry and cursed: "Since you despise this house, don't live there if you can, and find a place to live by yourself!"

The daughter also said angrily: "If you can't live here, you won't live there! Who cares?" After saying that, he rushed out of the house without looking back. He didn't even come home for lunch, and he still hasn't seen anyone.

Xu Wanping was about to go to the night market to set up a stall at the end of the alley. If she didn't go there, someone would take the good spot. She endured her anger and fried two dishes. She covered it with a rice cover and went to the toilet anxiously, preparing to leave. Spread it out and the door opens.

 “Mom, I’m back.” Xu Yin raised the chocolate in her hand.

"You still know how to come back?" Xu Wanping's anger that had been building up all day exploded, "I ran away for a day and have only come back now. Why don't you sleep outside at night? Look at you! How do you look like a student! Your hair It looks like a feather duster, and there are holes cut out of your perfectly good pants! You will be sixteen soon. When your mother and I were sixteen..."

 What are they?

 You don’t know people well, you got into a big quarrel with a scumbag and ran away from home?

 Until now, her family has not forgiven her.

Her father also threatened to sever the father-daughter relationship with her through his brother, saying that without her as a daughter, it would be up to her to decide whether she was doing well or not, and even if she died outside, don't tell her family...

Xu Wanping's heart felt suffocated, she became speechless for a moment, and said hastily: "Forget it, forget it, you can eat, I'll go out of the stall first!"

 “Mom!” Xu Yin pulled her, “Let’s eat together, and I’ll accompany you out of the stall after eating.”

“…You, you accompany me?” Xu Wanping was so surprised that her tongue was tied.

You know, my daughter didn’t even want to go near a vegetable stall in the past. Ever since she was little, let alone accompanying her to the stall, when she was extremely busy, it was still up to her to see if she was happy to bring her a meal. What happened today...

"Mom, aren't you in a hurry to get out of the stall? Sit down and eat quickly. Let's go together after eating."

"Oh." When Xu Wanping thought that if she didn't go to the cheap stall early, she might be squeezed into a corner, she had no time to think too much and hurriedly sat down to eat.

Xu Yin saw that she only ate the bowl of vegetarian stir-fried three shredded vegetables in front of her, without touching the fish specially fried for Yuan Shen. She sighed inwardly, took a chopstick of fish belly meat, and put it in Xu Wanping's bowl: "Mom, I'll eat it." If we don’t finish this much, we’ll each share half of it.”

Xu Wanping's eyes suddenly turned red, and there was a lump in her throat: "This is fried for you. You should eat more. Mom doesn't like fish very much."

“If you don’t like it, then don’t buy it from now on. If you want to buy it, just buy the dishes we both like.” Xu Yin said slowly and authentically.

Xu Wanping held the chopsticks for a moment and laughed dumbly: "Okay, mom either doesn't like it, or she thinks it's hard to pick fish bones."

 My daughter likes fish and shrimps the most, but shrimps are too expensive, so she is reluctant to buy them only during holidays. She usually buys fish.

 It’s not an expensive fish, just common grass carp and crucian carp in the market. Occasionally, I buy a few small yellow croakers and hairtail fish to change the taste.

Even so, she was not willing to buy more, so she just weighed a little enough for her daughter to eat one or two meals.

 She usually buys two pieces of dried tofu and stir-fries one with three veggies.

 Sometimes I don’t even buy dried tofu, I just stir-fry the cheapest vegetables from the stall and make mustard soup, which is enough for rice.

This was the first time that her daughter had put vegetables in her bowl, and it was a piece of fish maw that was white and tender, with many thorns and few thorns. Xu Wanping felt so worried that she pretended to have a cold and took out a piece of crumpled toilet paper to blow her nose. , wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes while her daughter was not paying attention.
