Chapter 30 Expired
“She is in Kyoto.”
Jiang Yang said that Hou Bing saw her at some imperial seal platform.
Li Qingning asked Jiang Yang to pay the bill, "Let's go and take a look."
While in the car, Li Qingning said to Jiang Yang: "I usually ask you to call home more often, but you don't. Now you don't even know where your own mother is."
Jiang Yang leaned on the back of the chair and covered his head.
“I’m talking to you, don’t pretend to have a headache.” Li Qingning was very familiar with his approach.
Jiang Yang was seen through and put down his hand: "Okay."
He soon received another call from Hou Bing, "I checked with the security guard and found out that Qi's mother works as a cleaner at the Royal Seal Tower Phase 2. I won't wait here. I still have work."
Jiang Yang was confused, "It's already dark, what kind of work do you have? Hey, your job is not in the west, so why are you going to the east?"
“For field work, that’s all. I’ll go back early after I finish my work.”
Hou Bing hung up the phone.
It is still raining lightly in the sky.
In the past, Jiang Yang also encountered Yu while riding in a car. At that time, he felt that this city was strange, cold, and had nothing to do with him. But now, perhaps because he has a family, he actually feels that this city has become more friendly.
He couldn't help but touch Li Qingning's hand.
Li Qingning said coquettishly, "I'm driving!"
Yuxitai is not far from the company, and they arrived soon. Jiang Yang got off the car and called his mother. His mother's phone couldn't be reached. He wanted to go in. The security guard of the community said that this was a high-end community and they would not let him in without a card. Jiang Yang I can only continue to call my mother.
Still can't get through.
Li Qingning came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
“My mother doesn’t answer the phone.”
Jiang Yang put down his phone, told the security guard his name, and asked if he knew it. "Aunt Ma, oh, I know, you are Aunt Ma's son?" The security guard knew who it was as soon as he heard his **** name.
He called another brother to come over and take over. He swiped his card and asked Jiang Yang and the others to go in and lead the way. "We are still fellow villagers. Aunt Ma and the others live in the basement. The mobile phone signal is not very good. It is normal that sometimes they cannot receive calls."
He led Jiang Yang and the others to a building, swiped their card to open a side door, and faced an elevator. This elevator went to the underground parking lot. The security guard did not have permission to sit in it. They went around to a staircase and walked to the basement.
Jiang Yang held Li Qingning's hand. He originally thought he would reach the next floor, but he went down two more floors and reached the third underground floor. The air was obviously damp and stuffy. Jiang Yang asked, "Does the cleaning lady live here?"
"right."
The security guard led Jiang Yang and the others around the wall for a section of the parking lot, looking back at Jiang Yang and Li Qingning from time to time. He murmured in his heart, looking at these two people, they were dressed as well as the owners of the community, especially the woman, wearing a hat and a mask, she looked like a little fairy, not like a cleaning lady in the community. Oh my god.
At the door, before the security guard said anything, the third aunt came out of the toilet with a washbasin, "Yangyang?!"
Jiang Yang turned around and said, "Auntie, you are here too."
“Ah, by the way, I came with your mother.”
The third aunt called Jiang Yang to come in quickly.
Jiang Yang thanked the security guard for leading the way, and the security guard reluctantly turned around and left.
The house they live in is not far from the toilet. After entering, there is a small corridor with three rooms. The damp musty smell makes people doubt that mushrooms can grow here. His mother lived in the first room, a small room with four or five bunk beds and vertical and horizontal pipes on the roof.
“Yangyang is coming.”
His mother stood up and saw Li Qingning behind Jiang Yang, "This is-"
"mom."
Jiang Yang’s mother clapped her hands, “Ah, Ning Ning, my mother doesn’t even dare to recognize her.”
She introduced to the people living with her, "This is my son, and this is my daughter-in-law."
Jiang Yang waved to them and asked his mother: "Why didn't you say anything to me when you came to work here?"
"What's there to say? Your third aunt and I are just idle at home. It would be great to make some money. Hey, let me tell you, this community is a high-end community. You have to swipe your card to enter and exit the elevator. It's not easy to clean. It takes a lot of effort. There is a foreigner in Building 9 that I clean. He runs up the stairs every day, takes the elevator down and then runs up again..."
“Okay, okay mom.”
Jiang Yang interrupted her and asked her what she eats every day, "You are anemic to begin with."
His mother said the food here is good, there is a canteen on the property, meat is provided for every meal, and there are eggs for breakfast—
“Do you eat meat?”
Jiang Yang asked her if her mother was poor and got the disease of wealth. She didn’t eat meat or anything with meat. The only nutritious thing she could eat was scrambled eggs, and she could make delicious food for herself at home. , it won’t work here.
He looked at Third Aunt again, "Did you instigate Third Aunt here?"
The third aunt took the opportunity to talk to her mother: "I think it's very good here. The food is better than at home."
The third aunt is a meat eater.
All the food her mother made went into her stomach.
Jiang Yang looked around and said, "Let's go and pack some things."
"no!"
His mother stopped Jiang Yang, "I've been working for more than a month, what should I do if my salary is gone now?"
Jiang Yang understood. The two of them went out to work shortly after they left during the Chinese New Year. "You did a good job of keeping secrets. You are worthy of being engaged in intelligence work in the village."
However, your health is important. With her body, if she worked for half a month's salary for another half month, it wouldn't be worth it if she accidentally exhausted her body. Jiang Yang insisted on letting his mother go, but his mother refused to leave. As for the third aunt, she is somewhere between wanting to leave and not wanting to leave. She didn't want to leave because the food here was really good and the work wasn't too heavy. She wanted to leave because it was boring here and she couldn't feel at home.
“Mom, this—”
Li Qingning interrupted the meaningless pull between mother and son, "Let's stay at our place for one night first."
His mother thinks this is okay. She has one day off a week, and she hasn’t taken off this week yet. She asked her third aunt to give her a day off tomorrow. “I’ll go over and wipe the floor and clean for them, and I’ll come over to work the day after tomorrow.”
“Then I—”
The third aunt is reluctant to leave.
Li Qingning said: "Let Third Aunt go too."
"Need not."
His mother made the final decision, "Your third aunt has taken a break this week, and she will be deducted from the money if she takes a break this week."
She took out a bag of rice from under the bed and handed it to Jiang Yang, "Here, take it."
Jiang Yang was puzzled, "Where did you get this?"
His mother said that she picked it up when she was cleaning. The cleaning staff here not only have to clean, but also throw away garbage for customers. This bag of rice was rejected by a family and was left in the corridor to be thrown away. She picked it up.
“You go back and eat.”
Who would throw this thing away for no reason? Jiang Yang looked at the production date and said, "Mom, this is already past the shelf life."
“The rice has a shelf life, and it’s not opened.” His mother gave it to Jiang Yang.
Li Qingning pulled Jiang Yang and helped him walk to the front.
Jiang Yang looked at the pitiful Third Aunt, "Third Aunt, how about—"
The third aunt said no, the salary deduction would be in vain, so she should just wait here for his mother.
