Chapter 11
While talking, Zhao mother went to cook, Lin Minjun’s eyes and hands were quick, she also helped to serve the rice bowls, while in her heart, she kept thinking about the house
Walking outside the kitchen, Lin Minjun said in a low voice, “Auntie, why don’t I first move to the house that uncle said, and then look for the same thing later Your family is doing well, don’t start any conflicts over me, besides, if I never find a house, what will brother Zhao Ning do?”
What Lin Minjun thought in her heart, what she said on her lips, borrowing to live in someone else’s house was already troublesome enough, she didn’t want the Zhao family to fight over herself
Zhao mother firmly shook her head and patted Lin Minjun’s shoulder reassuringly, “Did you hear what was said around you? Don’t take it to heart, my family’s oldest factory wasn’t very productive, and it’s always on vacation, so it’s nothing to take two days off I also can not in order to vacate the house, you a little girl to drive to that kind of place, labor camps! What can’t be done? If something happens to you there, it’s my sin, and I feel bad about it You don’t have to worry, I’ll ask her father to continue to inquire, her father is just a knife mouth and tofu heart, don’t take it to heart”
After saying that Zhao mother first end of the plate went out, Lin Minjun lagged a step behind, but in her heart, she was thinking, what can be done to hurry to find a house
Just so thinking, outside suddenly came a burst of footsteps, the movement is particularly large, kicking and stomping, listen to the sound like several people, and are all strong men
Lin Minjun also vaguely heard Zhao mother shouting, “What are you doing this?”
Realizing that something might have happened, she put the chopsticks down and hurried out
When she arrived at the door, she saw that there were four or five strong men from the Zhao family, with a uniform red armband on their right arm
No need to ask, this is the city’s joint defense team, specializing in managing the security situation of each street
The head of the joint defense team, a strong man in his thirties entered the door and asked, “Is your family sheltering a blind man?”
In fact, the United Defense Force wasn’t vicious, it’s just that with four or five burly men in the house all of a sudden, the Zhao family was a bit confused and no one said anything
The head of the United Defense Force then looked around the house to see if there were any outsiders, and happened to collide with Lin Minjun
“Where are you from?” The Union Defense Captain then asked
In fact, he did not need to answer he also saw, Lin Minjun is not a local Beicheng, Beicheng chicks and Yunnan girls look different, Lin Minjun skeleton on the small side, the figure is more slender, because of the strong ultraviolet rays of Yunnan, the skin is not as milk-like white as Zhao Ning
Since she couldn’t hide it, Lin Minjun said frankly, “I’m from Qujing, Yunnan”
The joint defense captain asked again, “Do you have a proper occupation? Do you have a fixed abode?”
This is certainly not, Lin Minjun opened her mouth, and finally did not say anything
The Union Defense Captain signaled that Lin Minjun did not need to be nervous, and said in a gentle voice, “You are an outsider, you came to Beicheng without a proper occupation and without a fixed residence, according to the regulations, you can’t stay in the city for a long period of time, we must now persuade you to return in accordance with the regulations, and go back to Qujing to build up your hometown, okay?”
The people’s words were very gentle, but the meaning was very clear, Lin Minjun couldn’t stay in the city, this belonged to the blind stream
At this time, the Zhao family who were dumbfounded reacted, Zhao’s mother walked up to intercede, “She’s a little girl, she came here with our daughter, she just didn’t find a place to live for the time being, can you be accommodating, don’t let her go back?”
“Sorry Auntie, we are following the rules” The United Defense Captain returned a sentence without being soft or hard
Immediately after that, he took out a pamphlet and wrote down Lin Minjun’s basic information on the book, saying as he wrote, “The purpose of my coming here today is to quickly persuade you to return to your place of origin, and tomorrow we’ll go back to take you to buy a train ticket and go back to Qujing as soon as possible”
This if she didn’t do something, tomorrow the United Defense Force would have to pack her up and send her back to Yunnan!
Lin Minjun clenched her fists and took two deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, only by calming down could she think of a solution
She and the Zhao family were confused by the sudden arrival of the United Defense Force, and at first they only thought about the fact that if they were sent back by the United Defense Force, they would have to face relatives who were eager to sell her by the pound
But Lin Minjun had a brainstorm and began to think about how she could get the United Defense Force to agree to stay
Only when the chief of the United Defense put the pamphlet away did Lin Minjun step forward and say, “This comrade, can I ask a few questions?”
“You say”
“I was persuaded to return because I didn’t have a job or a place to live, right? It’s not because I’m an outsider” Lin Minjun first wanted to confirm this
The joint defense captain nodded, “Right”
“Then if I rent myself a house as soon as possible, have a place to live and settle down, and then set up a stall to feed myself through, wouldn’t that make me not considered a blind migrant?” Lin Minjun asked again
This was difficult for the joint defense captain, who called all the team members over and got together to discuss it for half a day before finally coming to tell Lin Minjun, “Yes, if it’s not a blind stream according to what you said, then you can stay”
Lin Minjun let out an involuntary sigh of relief, “Then please give me some time, it won’t be long, I’ll soon have an income and a house to live in”
The joint defense captain looked at Lin Minjun critically, and only said after a while, “Okay, you have half a month to get ready and find a place to live, if you’re still like this after half a month, you’ll have to go back”
Lin Minjun smiled and nodded, “Okay, I’ll cooperate with you in everything when the time comes”
The head of the joint defense team waved and led the people away
The room was empty, and the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other, you looking at me and I looking at you
Zhao Ning blinked her eyes, “Then are we still eating?”
“The rice is in the pot, my heart isn’t feeling too well, you guys eat first, I’ll go back and lie down” Zhao mother said weakly, turned around and went into the inner room
Zhao Ning chased after her, “Mom, what’s wrong with you, are you alright?”
After such a mess, no one had an appetite to eat, simply dealt with a meal, then hurriedly washed his face and brushed his teeth, went to bed, just waiting for the next day to continue to inquire about the house
Lin Minjun washed her feet and went out to pour water, and then when she returned to the room, she saw Zhao Ning sitting on the kang, not lying down, just sitting quietly, as if she was thinking about something
“What’s wrong with you? Thinking about what?” She patted Zhao Ning’s shoulder, signaling her to lie down
Zhao Ning woke up with a jolt as if she had been startled, and when she saw that it was Lin Minjun, she breathed a sigh of relief again
Taking off her shoes and crawling onto the bed, Zhao Ning said as she tucked in the blanket, “I was just thinking, it’s not written on anyone’s face that they’re not blind, or that they’re not from out of town, or that they don’t have a job How did the United Frontier Corps know that you were at my house, and how did they know that you’re from out of town?”
