[Quick Transmigration] Soul Exchange

This is one of the last few bungalow areas in City Z. Poverty, dirty, dilapidated and crowded separate it from the surrounding modern communities into two worlds, even though the two may be separated by only one street.

It just rained yesterday, and the unhardened dirt road was extremely muddy. Although Liu Shuangshuang was very careful picking up dry places, his feet were still covered with muddy water.Frowning, she stepped across the stinking ditch, bypassed the garbage pond where flies were flying everywhere, ignored the man who was urinating against the old wall with the word "demolition" dripping with red paint, and avoided the woman who spit casually, in a cramped room. Push open an iron door in a blind corner.

There are three rows of bungalows in sight, the distance between them is less than two meters, and all of them are covered with the second floor.If the demolition is based on this square meter, it may cost tens of millions.However, this has nothing to do with Liu Shuangshuang's family, because they are just one of the tenants of these more than 60 houses.As for the landlord, he lives in the elevator apartment opposite.

Liu Shuangshuang and the others rented the innermost room on the east side of the second floor, and they could only go up through the suspended wooden stairs in the yard.Every time she stepped on the creaking wooden planks, she was worried that she would fall, and she was very thankful that the aisle was a limestone platform with a steel frame.

The door is wooden, the kind that a man can kick open with one foot. The lock is the original one, fixed with three screws, and the lock head is what they brought when they moved. An old-fashioned copper padlock can be fixed with a single wire.

But Liu Shuangshuang and Cai Xiaofen were not worried, because they really had nothing to steal from their house.

In the twenty-square-meter house, there is a dilapidated double bed against the northwest wall, which was not wanted by the previous tenant of the house.Next to the foot of the bed is a simple zipper wardrobe. It has been used for many years, and the sliders are not working properly.On the east side is a cabinet not far from the door, and on the west side is a writing desk against the wall. The oil skin has peeled off, revealing the traces of time.Bricks support wooden boards as a stove, and the electric pot and local stove placed on it are the two most valuable things in the house, but they don't seem to be worth the patronage of thieves.

This is a house where there is no TV, no computer, and only her mother is watching. This is a poor place.

"Shuang Shuang, why are you in a daze, wash the vegetables for Mom quickly."

Cai Xiaofen's ungentle voice brought her back to her mind, and Liu Shuangshuang let out an "eh" and started ladling water to wash vegetables.

"It's a little less, how easy is it for you to carry a bucket of water as an old lady?"

Liu Shuangshuang's heart felt sour, and she scooped back half of the scooped water.

There is no running water in this house, so winter and summer are unpredictable. Cai Xiaofen has to go to the sluice downstairs to fetch water, and then step on the "squeaky" stairs to carry buckets up. Pour out a bucket.

In the future, she must buy a house with running water and sewers!Liu Shuangshuang rubbed the eggplant and thought to herself.

Eggplant and beans are the signature dish in many restaurants. Liu Shuangshuang has never been to a restaurant, but she thinks the beans and eggplants made by her mother are the best in the world.

Couldn't resist filling another bowl.

"Do you want more?"

Liu Shuangshuang rubbed her belly and shook her head, "I'm full."

Only then did Cai Xiaofen pull the leftover vegetables into her own bowl, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Liu Shuangshuang's eyes became hot, he hesitated and said, "Mom, we have midterm exams."

Cai Xiaofen chewed her rice and let out a "huh". She has never read a book, and she has never had a hand in her daughter's studies. At this moment, she only asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Liu Shuangshuang thought of Li Zong, who had a mess of answers, and wanted to say that she failed the exam, but was afraid that her mother would be disappointed, so she said vaguely, "I don't know."

"I tried it myself, but I still don't know how it is?"

Cai Xiaofen muttered something casually, then turned to put away the dinner plate.

Liu Shuangshuang opened her schoolbag and started to do her homework.

"The salary hasn't been paid yet, the rent is due again, and the electricity bill, your living expenses for the next week will really drive you to death..."

Cai Xiaofen babbled about daily trivial matters while washing dishes, and the word "money" was inseparable from back and forth.

Money and money, Liu Shuangshuang forced herself to immerse herself in the thinking of solving the problem, but her mother's words full of sorrow and resentment could not help but drill into her ears.

"Mom—" Can you stop talking!

Before the irritable words could be said, a plate of washed and cut cantaloupe was stuck in his throat.

"Eat cantaloupe."

Cai Xiaofen put down the tray, and said, "Take off your school uniform, and Mom will wash it for you."

"..."

Liu Shuangshuang watched her mother squatting on the ground rubbing her clothes vigorously, and felt the bitter taste of the melon in her mouth.

Happiness, what is it?
