The walls of the inner city are still so majestic.

Although the city wall is already covered with oil stains and dirt, and you can often see traces of repairs on wooden boards and iron sheets, the shadows cast by it still give everyone who is queuing up at the city gate an innate sense of awe.

The darkness had just subsided and the genius was bright, but a long queue had already formed at the gate of Nancheng District. These were all migrant workers who were 'lucky' to be able to get some dirty jobs in the inner city.

Because of the status gap and the high cost of living in the inner city, most migrant workers enter early in the morning and return at night.

Moreover, although the gate of the inner city itself is very wide, there is only less than half of the opening for these workers to pass. There is obviously a wider road next to it that can lead directly to the inner city, but they still have to line up to move towards the buildings inside the city wall. Make some twists and turns.

Check whether you are carrying weapons or contraband, and also check whether you are too dirty. Only after going through tedious procedures can you officially enter the inner city.

There were also many women holding babies in the crowd, and pregnant women with bulging bellies were also queuing up and moving slowly along the line.

"Alan, you should have been able to rest for two days, but you really can't help it, hey..."

A thin old man with snow-white hair and a weathered face stood in line in front of Tao Lan and said with a sigh.

"I know it's not easy for Xiaomei, she is still the first child."

Tao Lan's delicate face was still a little pale, and her body still looked a little weak, but when she lowered her head and looked at the skinny monkey-like baby in the cloth pocket on her chest, there was still a hint of motherly brilliance on her face.

This job was hard-won, and neither she nor her family could afford the loss.

"I'll assign Block 8 to you later. The work there is relatively light. We'll come and help you after we're done."

The little old man should be their team leader and made some adjustments.

There is a certain preference for pregnant and lactating women. This is something that companies are promoting, regardless of the cannon fodder points or the number of work arrangements.

However, this is only relative!

"Okay, thank you, Uncle San."

A smile appeared on Tao Lan's face. The foreman was her father-in-law's cousin, and he could still take care of her somewhat.

It's just that the work here must be completed. If there is a premature birth at the same time, there is really no way.

As long as she doesn't push her, there will be many people coming over to take advantage of her.

This job is safe and stable, and the income is higher than my parents' income. It can be regarded as a rare and high-quality job.

This is especially true for a woman like me who has ordinary talents and no other abilities.

"Sister Lan, how long do you think we can get a work card like my brother-in-law if we don't make mistakes? We can enter the inner city directly from the side."

A young guy at the back looked at the few people who occasionally passed quickly in the wide passage next to him, his face full of envy.

Their ID cards can only be used to enter and exit on a single day, and they cannot stay overnight. Occasionally, if they have to stay overnight, they have to get a note from the supervisor before they can spend one night in a multi-person hotel at their own expense. The cost is more than a day's income. I have to undergo this inspection every day.

However, those with a higher-level work card can enter and exit normally through simple questioning on the side.

Tao Lan's husband has that kind of work card.

Tao Lan opened her mouth when she heard the words of the coworkers behind her, but in the end she said nothing.

The third uncle in front has been working for so long, and he still has to line up with him. It is almost impossible, but there is hope hanging in front of him.

And even if he gets it, that's it. My husband has a long-term work permit, but he has always been cautious, for fear of breaking something and being demoted. Working early and working late makes no difference.

Occasionally, when I have urgent matters, I have to stay overnight because of my long-term work permit.

You can't sleep on the streets in the inner city. Even a shop with the worst environment requires 10 points of willpower in one night...

But just when Tao Lan thought about this, a somewhat familiar voice came from the side.

"Sister, your health doesn't matter."

Turning around, he saw Tao Yu, who had become stronger and stronger, looking at him with concern outside the team.

Seeing her little brother coming, Tao Lan looked a little surprised and her eyes were smiling.

"Lao Qi, you have grown taller. You were not taller than me before, and you are also stronger."

As she spoke, she made a height gesture, stood on tiptoes and touched Tao Yu's head.

Tao Yu felt a little relieved when she saw her elder sister's expression. She didn't look very good, but she looked pretty neat.

Girls from outer cities are tough.

At the same time, Tao Yu also curiously looked at the little skinny monkey tied on her sister's chest. A clean blanket wrapped the baby tightly, revealing a little wrinkled face, breathing with her eyes closed. Evenly, seems to be asleep.

After years of adapting to the environment, today's babies are very strong.

Tao Lan's colleagues next to him also started to talk a lot when they heard Tao Lan's name.

"Alan, is this your A-level talented brother?"

"You're so handsome."

"Does the young man have a girlfriend?"

"A-level talent!"

"..."

Tao Yu's appearance also caused a small commotion in the team.

There is even a tendency to spread.

The guards at the nearby city gate came over and scolded them twice.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, be quiet."

Only with the scolding of the guards, the voice was suppressed.

But perhaps because he heard what they were discussing, the guard looked at Tao Yu and nodded, and drove him away from the team without saying anything.

Tao Yu also took out his partner certificate and said,

"Can I enter the city with this?"

The guard looked at the certificate, then at the watch on Tao Yu's wrist, and his expression became more relaxed.

"Sure, do you have an identity chip in your watch? Just scan it when the time comes. You don't need to carry this certificate with you all the time."

"Yes, thank you."

The guard was obviously very cold and serious to those people in the queue, but he was a little amiable to Tao Yu.

"You can download an inner city notice at the door later, which indicates some general precautions. Junior partners can enter the city directly, but if there is no task being completed, they need to leave the city at night."

"Okay."

Tao Yu nodded to the guard, and then said to Tao Lan

"Sister, where is your work area? I will come to help you after I finish my work."

"Sister, I am not so delicate. This is already the fourth child."

Tao Lan rolled her eyes at Tao Yu, but after hesitating for a while, she still spoke

"I am in Block 8. You can come to see me when you are free, but you don't need to help. You should spend time improving yourself now. What's the point of doing this kind of thing."

"Yes, young man, don't squander your talent. A-level talent is really amazing."

The third uncle with white hair was also a little emotional at this time, with some melancholy and envy in his eyes.

Even if he has an ordinary combat talent, he doesn't want A-level. Maybe he can get a guard in the city.

Alas..., I am useless, and my children have average talents. I just have to wait and see if my grandchildren can show up with better talents.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it...
