Outside Jinhui Hotel

The assistant stood by the car and gave the room card to Ye Ling and Lin Yan.

"Hope you two had a good night."

"Thank you."

Ye Ling nodded and saluted and went into the hotel. Lin Yan nodded frantically at his assistant and followed Ye Ling.

The assistant called Dong Yongquan after seeing the two entered the hotel, then got into the car and left.

"Drop the card directly to the door lock."

Seeing Lin Yan fiddling with the room card, Ye Ling couldn't help frowning. Seeing that she really didn't know how to open the door, she kindly reminded her.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yan shrank his neck like a wild wolf, as if he was very scared.

Ye Ling gave her a cold look, opened the door and entered the room, ignoring Lin Yan.

She has already said what should be said, the rest is up to Lin Yan himself.

Lin Yan fiddled with the room card in a hurry, dripped it in the way Ye Ling just did, and the door opened automatically.

The hotels she has been to are all opened with keys and rarely opened with cards. She was a little surprised when she saw it for the first time.

Ye Ling was lying on the bed, her stomach rumbling.

She hadn't eaten since she got on the plane, and went straight to the hotel after getting off the plane.

Ye Ling got up from the bed, originally wanted to call the waiter, but thought she hadn't been to S City for a long time and wanted to go shopping.

As soon as the door was opened, Lin Yan also came out of the room, rubbing his stomach and making gurgling sounds.

"If you're hungry, you can call the waiter and ask them to bring you food. You're welcome to pay for our business trip this time."

Ye Ling looked at Lin Yan, she was surprised when she saw Ye Ling, subconsciously hid behind the door.

Those who didn't know would have thought that Ye Ling was some kind of tigress who scared people like this.

Lin Yan is like a weak little white rabbit at the moment, while Ye Ling is domineering like a wild wolf that cannibalize people.

The waiter pushed the cart and passed by, looking this way from time to time, as if an unscrupulous boss was bullying his subordinates.

Ye Ling turned around and went outside, Lin Yan froze in place.

High-rise buildings and bustling surroundings, this place is very different from when she came here a few years ago.

The street lights illuminate the ground, people come and go, and the cool breeze blows, making it a little cool.

Ten years ago, this area hadn't developed yet. It was surrounded by mud houses and low-footed houses, and there were a lot of street stalls. There were no subways or buses around. I didn't expect it to develop rapidly in a few years. If she bought a piece of land here And so on, now it may be the kind of farmer who turns over and sings, and the rich people who look like they can live without worrying about food and clothing and collect a little rent every month.

"It's changed a lot."

Ye Ling couldn't help sighing, surrounded by commercial streets, she couldn't see anything except tall buildings and a group of beautifully dressed people.

"Sell pancakes sell pancakes."

A voice attracted Ye Ling's attention, and when he turned his head, he saw an old woman in front of the stall with a stroller beside her, with a baby lying in it, the stroller was tied with a rope to the side of the pancake cart, and the old woman put the baby at her feet , while shouting and watching.

From time to time, wipe the child's mouth with a paper and stuff the bottle into the child's mouth.

The child was babbling and playing with the baby bottle as a toy, laughing from time to time.

Ye Ling remembered that she had seen this old woman when she came with her parents back then, but the girl next to the old woman was a high school girl who looked about her age, sitting on the worn-out chair with glasses and bowed her head seriously. Reading, at that time her mother also said that other people's daughters are so hardworking, because of this, she went back to study and finally got the first place in the exam, but for her mother, it is normal for her to take the first place, and if she doesn't take the first place, she will be the first one. unusual.

Because it's so normal, her mother always thinks No.1 is easy.

"Grandma bring me a pancake."

Ye Ling approached, took out money from his wallet and handed it to the old woman.

"Okay, girl, wait a minute."

The old lady spoke in an authentic dialect, and she was quick with her hands. She wrapped the pancakes and handed them to Ye Ling in two or three strokes.

Ye Ling took a bite, the taste was still familiar.

"Grandma, is this your granddaughter?"

"Yes, this is my granddaughter named Miao Miao. Her mother doesn't have time to take me here for a few days, so be good Miao Miao."

The old woman coaxed, her face was filled with happiness.

Ye Ling bit the pancakes, the old woman has been here for more than ten years, even the price of pork has increased, but the prices of her stalls have not increased, and the prices are still the same as ten years ago.

Such a conscientious price is already hard to come by.

This place has developed into a first-tier city, and the rent is expensive and everything is expensive, but the old lady didn't increase the price at all.

"Two more."

Ye Ling stuffed the last bite into his mouth and clapped his hands. The old woman looked at Ye Ling in surprise. She looked petite and didn't eat that much.

"what happened?"

Seeing the old woman looking at him, Ye Ling couldn't help asking, the old woman shook her head and moved her hands: "It's all right."

"The girl is from out of town. The law and order here is not very good these days. If you are beautiful like a girl, you should pay attention. If someone borrows your mobile phone and asks you for money for food, don't believe it."

Ye Ling chuckled as the old lady muttered.

"okay, I get it."

"Don't dislike my old lady's long-winded words. I am concerned about you. Old lady, I have lived here for more than 20 years and I am familiar with this area. Recently, the security here is really not very good."

The old woman explained that she was afraid that Ye Ling would not believe what she said.

"Don't dislike it, I love to hear what you say."

"Come on, two."

The old lady handed the pancakes to Ye Ling, and Ye Ling took out a red card of Grandpa Mao from his wallet.

"Oh, it's a bit big and I can't find it. I treat you as a treat for these two. You eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Ye Ling squinted and smiled at the old lady's advice: "You can keep the money, maybe I'll come over to eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll eat two or three of you a day this week, maybe a hundred or so." not enough."

The old lady stuffed the money into Ye Ling's hand, and Ye Ling stuffed the money back.

The child in the stroller was babbling and laughing, stretching out his little hands as if he liked Ye Ling very much and wanted to play with her.

Ye Ling leaned close to the child and stretched out his finger, and the child grasped it, babbling.

The little hands are soft, like a sponge.

"Girl, have you ever been to City S before? I think you look familiar."

The old woman asked, she would never forget such a beautiful girl just by looking at her.

Even after a long time, some things will not change, such as eyes and temperament.

She met a child who was very similar to Ye Ling many years ago.

"Yes, with my parents."

Ye Ling nodded and admitted, and the old lady yelled: "That's why the old lady remembered wrongly. The little girl who came back at the beginning was accompanied by a little boy. The two of them look beautiful. The little girl looks a bit like you."

The old lady looked at Ye Ling and said kindly.

"That's not me. I only came here once with my parents. My father took me and my mother along on a business trip here."

As soon as the words fell, a voice broke into the ears of the two of them, and a girl in a windbreaker, high heels and brown framed glasses hurried over.

"Mom, why did you bring Miao Miao out again? There are so many people here, what if Miao Miao is taken away by bad guys?"

The girl yelled at her mother, picked up her child from the car, and watched Ye Ling vigilantly like a human trafficker.

Ye Ling was slightly stunned, and stood up straight.

"No, no, I will take care of Miaomiao. Aren't you going to work overtime today? Why did you come back so early?"

Seeing her daughter angry, the old lady also looked kindly, as if she didn't know what anger was.

"I'm worried about Miao Miao, so I came here to take a look. Mom, you don't have to worry about Miao Miao. Just take care of yourself. I'll hire a nanny for Miao Miao and let the nanny take care of her. Will you continue to sell your pancakes?" Miao Miao Miao is so young, you take her out to sell pancakes, people in this area know you, you take Miaomiao out like this, when Miaomiao goes to school, they all know that she has a grandma who sells pancakes, where do you put my face, If you don't want to part with your little stall, you can set it up by yourself, and don't let my daughter come with you."

The woman vented her anger on the old woman, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

She wants to give her daughter a good life, and she doesn't want her daughter to be labeled as a mother who sells pancakes like her.

She is now a promising woman with a family who can teach her children well.

"But, but the TV said that the babysitter can't do it, they will bully Miaomiao."

The old woman said nervously that she was very opposed to finding a nanny.

"Those are all said on TV. It is impossible for every nanny to be like that. In short, you don't need to worry about Miao Miao's affairs. I will take care of it. If you bring Miao Miao out in the future, I... I will change the lock at home. , you don’t want to see Miao Miao in the future.”

The woman threatened, and the child in her arms whimpered, as if frightened by the woman's aura.

"Really, it's not worrying at all."

The woman complained, turned and left with the child in her arms, muttering before leaving.

The old woman froze on the spot and kept calling the woman's name, but the woman didn't even turn her head.

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, nanny really can't do it."

"The person has gone far away, and she can't hear her if she calls again."

Ye Ling reminded that the old lady was a little embarrassed, so she broke the awkward atmosphere with dry laughter.

"Miss, I made you laugh. My daughter has such a bad temper. I guess she was beaten by the boss again today. It's okay, it's okay."

"Your daughter has a personality."

Ye Ling sat on the bench, boasting.

"She has been so stubborn since she was a child. Everyone in the family is full of awards from her. If she gets second in the exam, she will reflect on it all night and study hard to get back to the first place in the exam."

"I am proud of my daughter."

The old woman sat on the bench and took out the thermos and poured herself a cup of tea, her eyes flashed, thinking about the past.

"The consumption here is high and the rent is expensive. My daughter and her husband still rent their houses, and they stutter every month. The child's milk powder and diapers are all money. If I don't come out to earn some subsidies, how will I live this day? go down."

As the old woman spoke, she sighed heavily, life was very stressful.

She wants to make more money when she can still move and work. She still has a house of more than ten square meters here. When she is too old to move, she will sell the house and go back to the countryside to buy a small house.
