i was my mistake

Maybe her feelings for Jiang Xing have long faded, but Ye Chen and him are still close friends at this time.

"Leave a day for you when you are on vacation." So she smiled faintly again.

Ye Chen suddenly beamed with joy.

"Haha, okay, let's talk about the holiday!" Jiang Xing also became happy, and ran away again waving his hands.

Not far away, Yang Zeng was waiting for him. In fact, the two of them had no place to play, either in the game hall or the basketball court.

Or wander around like a street runner.

"drive."

"...Huh?...I'm not a horse!"

"Leave quickly." Wan Qing looked at Zhao Jinyu who came out of the cart behind, "Zhao Jinyu is here."

"Let's go first..." Zhao Jinyu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she pushed back her sweat-soaked hair a little, "My tire is flat, I don't know if it's leaked or broken."

On the way to the factory, don't expect the road conditions to be good.

Something always falls off those big trucks.

Sharp gravel or metal parts are the main culprits of punctured tires.

Cycling around here all the year round, without breaking a tire two or three times, it is a rare thing.

But there is no car repair place near the school. If you want to repair your car, you have to push the car for at least half an hour to get there.

"A flat tire?"

"Hmm... maybe." Zhao Jinyu didn't look too depressed, "This is the first time I've blown a tire."

"There's nothing to be happy about..."

"Let's go together, and we can talk about study on the way."

"Okay!" The only thing that made her a little disappointed was that she had to go back by herself, but when Wan Qing said this, her eyes lit up immediately and she nodded vigorously.

"Why don't you take Ye Chen's car and I'll push it for you?" Wan Qing said kindly.

It's not really that 'good intentions', it's more about relying on this kind of friendly performance to get closer.

That's what adults actually do.

Every approach, every kindness, always has something to seek.

Or they want to integrate quickly, or they want help from others, or they want other benefits from the other party.

So the socializing of adults is often a kind of 'work'.

But at this time, Wan Qing still had some sincerity—even if it wasn't too much.

"No, I'll just push it myself. Let's talk about some biology topics on the way. It's easier to talk about, and it's more interesting."

"Okay, at least biology can do a lot more questions than others."

"Ah, biology, it's the last test..." Ye Chen's first reaction seemed to be a headache when it came to studying, no matter which one he was studying.

……

30. Temporary residence permit

At the junction of the city and the suburbs, one side is desolate and the other side is prosperous.

The main urban area of ​​City H is not big, and further ahead, it is within the scope of the city center.

A few men who looked like urban management or traffic policemen either had their hands behind their backs, or looked forward, or leaned against the telephone pole, looking carefree.

Several men saw them from afar and were about to take a detour when they were stopped.

Seven or eight city management officers rushed forward and surrounded them.

"Where are you from? Do you have a temporary residence permit? Where do you work?"

"I, we... from the nearby construction site..."

"Hurry up, take out your temporary residence permit!"

"Don't be silly!"

"Where's the city pass!"

From a distance, it didn't look like an inspection, but a group of vicious dogs that smelled of meat.

"Do you still need a city entry permit now? We are at a nearby construction site..."

"Huh?" A city management officer who had a fierce face just now suddenly softened his expression, "Listen to your accent... where are you from?"

"me……"

"It's from City W."

"Hey! Yes."

"We are also fellow villagers." He suddenly smiled.

"You are also from W City?" The dusty middle-aged man suddenly smiled, he took out a crumpled cigarette case, took out one from it, and handed it over respectfully, "No I thought it was a fellow..."

"Yeah." The urban management nodded in satisfaction, took his cigarette, and asked him to light it for himself with a lighter, "This way, I won't cheat on my fellow, and I will rely on my fellow when I go out, so let's go!"

He waved his hand, as if he was very proud of being able to exercise this right at will.

Then he looked at the other workers who had just come out of the construction site: "You guys! For the sake of my hometown! Just make sense, don't make everyone unhappy."

The urban management next to them seemed to have a tacit understanding of not speaking, maybe other people did the same when they met their fellow villagers.

It is not so much goodwill as it is a kind of gangster-like loyalty and morality.

It is a default rule for those who come out to mess around.

Seeing them looking at each other nervously, the city manager with a cigarette in his mouth stretched out another five fingers and shook them vigorously.

They reacted immediately, and took out five-dollar bills from their tattered fake leather wallets or pale canvas wallets.

"Thank you bro!"

"Thank you brother."

Even though they looked obviously older than the city manager, they still yelled respectfully.

"En." He took the money in satisfaction, stuffed it into his pocket, and patted the fellow on the shoulder meaningfully, "My fellow, I will contact you later!"

He didn't seem to understand the meaning of it, he just nodded his head, and hurriedly led his friends who were working on the construction site to go elsewhere.

Then, the gang began to look for new prey.

Zhao Jinyu was repairing cars in a small shop nearby, and the three of them were on the side of the road, having witnessed several similar scenes.

In this day and age, such people and things are actually very common and not uncommon.

With a bit of disdain, Wan Qing deliberately bumped Ye Chen's arm, and jokingly said, "How about it, do you still like this world?"

"……what."

"You can search for people's fat and people's anointing for any reason. Even a small city management officer has so much power."

"...Actually, they themselves are not good. If they have temporary residence permits and other relevant certificates, they don't need to do this."

"Then do you know how troublesome it is to apply for a temporary residence permit, especially for those who have just moved to the city to work and have no stable residence. The key is that they have to suffer from all kinds of difficulties from those government personnel."

"But...they themselves broke the rules first."

"I have nothing to say to you." Wan Qing rolled her eyes, "It's like playing the piano to a cow."

Ye Chen felt wronged: "I'm clearly speaking the truth."

"Do you still follow the rule even if it's unreasonable?"

"If everyone can judge whether the rules are reasonable or not, then the rules are useless, at least... most of the time it is reasonable."

"You are amazing, consider it from the perspective of a meat eater."

"I'm just thinking about it from the big picture."

"The lackeys of collectivism."

"...unity is strength."

"What are you arguing about?" Zhao Jinyu came over.

Wan Qing exhaled through her nose and snorted coldly: "It's fine."

"I'm talking about whether what the city management did was reasonable."

"It's unreasonable." Zhao Jinyu also watched the whole process, her face was full of seriousness, "How can you accept bribes? If they don't meet the rules, they will be temporarily detained and then taken to the police station. If they are qualified, they will be reissued, and if they don't, they will be deported. "

"That's right." Ye Chen suddenly realized, "...this is the right one."

"That's why I said, what they did was completely wrong, and you are still stubborn with me."

"What, that's not what we were arguing about just now, okay... We didn't even think about this."

"That's what you didn't expect, I thought of it a long time ago."

"Arguing again?" Zhao Jinyu looked at the two on the left and right curiously, "Pfft, does your relationship get better if you quarrel a lot?"

"Because he's too naive."

"It's obvious that you are too extreme."

"Pfft, you two are so cute." Zhao Jinyu was about to say something, when he saw the boss stand up and wash his dark hands in the washbasin filled with dirty water.

"Okay, little girl."

"how much is it?"

"I made up two places, sixty cents."

She took out a one-dollar coin from the cute and fluffy little change purse and handed it to the boss.

The latter took out four dirty dimes from the change box and put them in her palm.

She glanced left and right, and finally put them in her purse.

It's just that the smile on his face suddenly became a little forced.

The white inner pocket of the fluffy little wallet suddenly became a bit black...

"...Let's go back."

"Well, the last part of the ride will be here soon."

"I'll go buy a new wallet later..." she muttered softly.

Of course Ye Chen and Wan Qing didn't hear clearly.

……

People come and go on Yinqi Road, especially in front of the square of the supermarket, which is even more lively.

A temporary small stage was set up in the square, and the host was speaking extremely provocative lines and introducing the pager in his hand endlessly.

Seven or eight middle-aged men were squatting or standing on the other side of the square, and there was a tattered wooden sign in front of them, with the business they operated written on it with paint.

"Repair the water and electricity, unblock the sewers, and paint the walls."

"Repair appliances, replace wires, computer repairs, pager repairs."

"Build walls, install tiles, install marble, and install ceilings."

Everyone was wearing dirty clothes with paint and other hard-to-wash grime on them.

They all looked like they hadn't taken care of themselves for some time, and they were a little tired.

Whenever someone walks in and stops to look at the sign, someone's eyes will light up, and they will take the initiative to come forward and introduce what they are good at.

Many of them are unemployed workers.

There are not so many jobs in this land to accommodate them, so they can only find ways to do such odd jobs to make money.

Whenever someone is selected by the employer to work in the past, the people next to him will show envious eyes.

For them, getting a job requires hard work.
