Reborn 1980: Scientific research leader farms to serve the motherland

Chapter 485 Slums

An Ning, the co-pilot, looked at Jiang Xia who was driving.

"Split me in half?"

"Yes, your technology is the key. I think the meaning of the above is to use your technology, so I suggest that you take half of it from me. No matter how much the above gives, you must take it."

Speaking of Jiang Xia here, he talked a little more deeply with An Ning.

"An Ning, your intelligence is unquestionable, but many things can change in an instant, I like to prepare for the worst, so I suggest you take down everything you can hold in your hand, at least these will become Your chips for the future."

"Having chips in your hand and not using them are two completely different things, do you understand?"

What Jiang Xia said was heartbreaking, and An Ning naturally understood what he meant.

"I understand, don't worry, I won't push out the benefits I get."

"That's good."

Needless to say, Jiang Xia, after the car arrived home, the two went back separately.

The moment he entered the door, Jiang Xia was still thinking, when will he be able to live under one roof?

He didn't dare to confess, really didn't dare.

Forget it, let's wait.

As the night passed, An Ning continued to take the exam.

She handed in the paper today, and she walked out of the campus early, ready to go shopping and take it back to her hometown in Shiligou.

Along the way, An Ning calculated how many people there were, and what to buy for each person.

After all the calculations, including the uncle's family, there are really many people.

She first bought some fabrics, and then some finished clothes and shoes, but she couldn't fit them.

She put the things in the fabric store and followed the boss' directions to find a rickshaw.

As she was walking, the road was a little off, and just when she was about to turn around, a very small cry caught her attention.

An Ning walked into an alley following the sound, and found a little girl in a garbage dump.

The little girl was supposed to wear two buns, but now they are scattered and covered with dirt. In the winter, she still wears sandals on her feet, and her trouser legs are also a lot shorter.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

The little girl had a small box in her hand, and she tried her best to hide the cardboard box behind her back, and said with a little fear, "I——I'm not stealing, I'm not."

"This—I picked it up."

The little girl looked at An Ning timidly, with fear and worry in her eyes, but she tried very hard to express herself.

"I know, are you lost?"

The girl nodded.

"I was chased, I ran a long way, and I couldn't find my home."

An Ning probably understood what the girl meant. She was misunderstood as a thief and was chased. She ran here to hide and couldn't find her home.

"I'll take you to the Public Security Bureau—don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I didn't mean that."

An Ning said that the police station made the girl want to run away, but An Ning grabbed her back with one hand.

"Stand still and don't move."

With a "click", the little girl raised her hands high up in a gesture of surrender, and the carton fell to the ground.

"No, that's not what I mean. I mean don't run, don't run. I'm not going to send you to the police station. I'm asking the police to help you find your home."

"Don't don't!"

The little girl was still shaking her messy head crazily. She seemed to be afraid of the police.

"Don't call the police, don't call the police."

"Okay, I won't look for it, so do you know where your home is? I can take you back."

The little girl nodded vigorously, and said six words to An Ning.

"The XC ghetto."

ghetto?
Does Huaxia have such a place?
An Ning didn't know, but she chose to take a look.

She took the girl out, first found a place and called Yu Zheng, asking him to pick up the things she bought.

After An Ning hung up the phone, she saw the little girl's curious and surprised eyes and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

The little girl shook her head.

"It's called a telephone. You can talk to someone thousands of miles away by dialing a fixed number. This is the receiver, and this is the microphone."

The girl nodded, eyes full of surprise and shock.

An Ning took the girl to the store and told the proprietress that Yu Zheng was coming to pick up things, leaving behind the license plate number and Yu Zheng's name, and asked the proprietress the way to the XC area.

The old bridesmaid showed the way, and reminded An Ning kindly: "You should wait a while, it's very chaotic over there, it's too dangerous for you to go alone with a girl."

"Thank you."

The proprietress wanted to persuade her, but An Ning had already left.

An Ning took the girl and walked for more than an hour, and finally arrived at an area that the girl was familiar with.

For the first time, the girl said in a somewhat relaxed tone: "Sister, I can find a home by myself."

"Send the Buddha to the west, and I will take you back."

An Ning persisted, and the girl softly said thank you.

But before the two reached the slum the girl mentioned, a woman with a worried face rushed over, first hugged the girl and cried, and then checked her for any injuries.

This process lasted about 20 seconds, and the No.20 woman slapped the girl's butt hard.

"You stinky girl, you scared me to death, do you know that!"

"Didn't I tell you, don't go out by yourself!"

"What if you disappear too! What do you ask me to do, I'm the only one left!"

After the woman beat her several times, she hugged the girl and cried bitterly.

The girl didn't resist at all, but hugged the woman and said comfortingly, "It's all right... I'm back, and I won't wander around again."

"I saw a beautiful box, and I thought it could be sold for money, so I went to pick it up."

The mother and daughter cried for a long time before being driven away by the owner of a store.

"Get lost! You two beggars, why are you crying here! How can I still do business!"

"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll splash water!"

The boss didn't scare people, he really prepared a basin of cold water and was ready to pour it out at any time.

The mother and daughter are not slow, and it seems that they are used to such things.

An Ning followed behind the two of them. She was curious about the slums that the child talked about, and she was also curious about what happened to the missing mother just now.

At this time, the woman learned that An Ning had sent the girl back, and she was thanking An Ning.

"No, I just saw it."

"No, no, it should. It happens that you can send it back after seeing it. Others don't necessarily."

The woman spoke sincerely, and even took out a handful of money from her pocket, most of which were in the form of one or two cents, only a few of which were ten or two cents, not even fifty cents.

"Thank you---"

"Put it away, I want to ask a few questions, just treat it as your reward."

Although the woman didn't understand what she could do for An Ning as a scavenger, she still agreed due to the difficult economic conditions.

"Can I go and see your house?"

The woman subconsciously refused, and told An Ning, "It's not that I don't let you go, it's because our home is too dilapidated, and it's not peaceful there, and it's all people from the bottom class."

"I understand, you don't need to worry, I... specialize in butchering pigs, and I have great strength."
