 Seeing that the alarm clock showed six o'clock in the morning, Chu Shici thought that Mingzhe woke up so early to go to school.

 The man had left long ago, and in the rice cooker in the kitchen was his porridge.

 Mingzhe finished his meal quietly, and put the leftover vegetable porridge and the two boiled eggs he made into an insulated lunch box.

 Chu Shici sat on his shoulder, turned his head and looked at the time, "It's already seven o'clock, are you in time for school?"

 Before he finished speaking, he was taken down by Mingzhe.

 Mingzhe stepped on his feet and took out an iron box from the refrigerator, put a dry biscuit in front of him, and poured him a small bottle of soybean milk.

 "I don't have to go to school on Saturday. I go to the hospital to see grandma."

 He didn't intend to take Chu Shici with him, but just squatted in front of him and told him not to run around.

 The door closed again, and Chu Shici sat on the dining table, holding a biscuit and chewing on it.

 He has no teeth and no tongue, he just bites and plays.

 The house was too dark yesterday, but now that the light is bright, Chu Shici realized that the house is not old, but it is really bad.

 The walls are moldy and dusty, it rained heavily last night, and the kitchen near the window has rain seeping in. There was a rag on the tiles against the wall, which was used by a man surnamed Liu to wipe the water.

 It should be to save money when decorating, and did not invite professional masters. I used low-quality materials and taught myself to do it myself, but I didn't understand it myself, and it became moldy when it was damp.

 The cabinets and tables are all handmade, using the cheapest wood. There are not many decent furniture, it can be seen that Uncle Liu's life is not rich.

 On the wall is a calendar with July 2006 written on it. There is no circle on the date, and Chu Shici couldn't guess what date it is today.

 There are two rooms and one living room in the house. The orientation is not good, and the layout is very messy. Only the master bedroom has a little sunshine. The living room and the second bedroom where Mingzhe lives are firmly blocked by another residential building opposite, and the sun cannot be seen all year round.

 Even in daylight, the house looked gloomy.

 The refrigerator keeps humming, and I don't know how much it is. Lots of stains on the surface and a bad stench inside. The bathroom is a red plastic basin, where Mingzhe usually takes a shower. Next to the toilet sits a large red bucket filled with crushed plastic bottles.

 Chu Shici flew around the house a few times, and the system chatted in his mind: 【Isn't this an elevator room? Why does Uncle Liu's house look so poor. 】

 'It may be a house bought with a loan, and I want to settle down in the city. '

 [Buy such an expensive house without money? 】

 'This house is not that expensive, look outside. In addition to this community, there are many small one-story houses nearby, and there seem to be a few unfinished buildings over there. There are very few cars on the road, and there are no shopping malls or schools. It should be that the market forecast was wrong and they wanted to raise the house price. As a result, this side was different from what they expected, and it did not develop. It can be regarded as a bit of conscience, at least the building was built, and it didn't rot here, otherwise it would be very troublesome to defend rights. '
