Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 72 Parting
There is no scene of tall buildings in a modern city as imagined.

The surrounding area is full of old residential buildings, the tallest of which is only ten stories high and you can tell they are quite old.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, as well as teahouses, hotels, and pawnshops. On the street, you can also see all kinds of vendors shouting constantly.

There were a lot of people and cars, and the noise was deafening.

Jiang Cheng had an illusion that he seemed to have returned to the 1990s before he traveled through time.

Mrs. Chen and others in the car were stunned.

As people who grew up in slums, they had never seen such a scene, even in their dreams, nor had they seen so many people and cars.

“This isn’t the busiest place.”

Bai Wei said, "Do you see those tallest buildings? Those streets are the busiest places in the outer city, with all kinds of things."

Several people looked over there.

The buildings there are more than two or three times taller than the surrounding buildings.

Lin Yue was stunned.

It's so prosperous and bustling here, how prosperous must it be over there?
Mrs. Chen also opened her eyes wide, but quickly looked away.

They just come here to hide for a while, not to settle down here, so why care so much?
And this is an urban area, the consumption must be high, not to mention there.

There was not much ripple in Jiang Cheng's heart.

He felt that those places should be similar to the commercial streets he had seen before he traveled through time. For Mrs. Chen and the others, it was the first time they had seen them, but he was already accustomed to them.

Besides, now is not the time to think about these things.

The car left the main road and turned into a dual carriageway. The street suddenly became much quieter and many passers-by looked pale.

"It seems that the lives of people in this outer city may not be as good as we thought."

Jiang Cheng thought secretly in his heart.

Only occasionally can you see uniformed guards passing by, so the security is definitely much better than in the slums.

After a few minutes, the vehicle drove into an old residential area and stopped in front of a building in the northeast corner.

"This is it."

Bai Wei unbuckled her seat belt and smiled.

Jiang Cheng nodded, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and opened the door for the elderly Mrs. Chen in the back seat.

The three of them got out of the car and looked up at the six-story building in front of them, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Is this where they're going to live from now on?

A few people carried their luggage, went up the stairs to the third floor and came to the house on the left.

Bai Wei took out the key and opened the door.

Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up.

Although the building looks a bit old, the facilities inside are good. There are sofas and TV in the living room and tiled floors.

"I haven't lived here for a long time, and it seems to have a little flavor."

Bai Wei turned around and smiled at the few people.

"come in."

The three of them looked at Jiang Cheng with some fear in their eyes.

They had never seen such a nice house before, so they didn't dare to enter for fear of dirtying the ground.

Jiang Cheng felt very distressed when he saw how timid they were.

"Come on, Grandma, Sister Chen."

He smiled and took the old man's hand, swearing secretly in his heart that sooner or later, he would let his family live in a house like this.

Several people entered the house and, led by Bai Wei, toured the entire house.

In addition to the living room, there are two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom with all kinds of facilities.

"There is a vegetable market outside the community, as well as other shops. You can go downstairs to buy things later. The prices here are cheaper than in the slums."

Bai Wei looked at Mrs. Chen and said.

"Thank you! Thank you! We..." Mrs. Chen was so nervous that she couldn't even finish her words. "It's okay."

Bai Wei waved her hand. "This is what I agreed with Junior Brother Jiang. Besides, this house is usually unoccupied, so it's okay for you to stay for a while. It will actually make it more popular. By the way, this is my cell phone number. If you encounter any problems, just pay some money and ask someone to help you dial this number. This is the key to the front door, don't lose it."

She handed the business card and key to Mrs. Chen.

"Girl, you've been so good to us, we don't know how to repay you."

The old man burst into tears with excitement.

"fine."

Bai Wei smiled and looked at Jiang Cheng beside her, "Are you sure you don't live here?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"Okay, then you guys talk for a while. I'll wait for you in the car. If you have any questions, you can ask me later." After Bai Wei finished speaking, she smiled at the old man and walked out.

"Xiaocheng, that girl is a good person." The old man sighed, "Such a nice house, she let us live in it just like that."

"Senior Sister Bai is really a very nice person."

Jiang Cheng looked at the three people one by one, "Grandma, Sister Chen, Xiaoyue, you will live here for the next period of time. Remember the location of the house. Don't go to the wrong place, and don't run around. I will take you back after the people from the Wild Wolf Gang leave."

The three of them kept nodding.

"Xiaocheng, do you really want to go back? Why don't you stay together and wait for this period of time to pass?" Mrs. Chen's eyes were full of worry.

"Yes, Brother Jiang Cheng, you should stay too. I see there are two rooms here that can accommodate you." Lin Yue also advised.

Jiang Cheng smiled at her.

"Didn't I tell you that I have the gym's premium membership card with me? I'll be fine."

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of something and looked at Mrs. Chen, "Mrs. Chen, how about this? I'll take you out for a while, buy some things, and let you get familiar with the surrounding environment."

"it is good."

Mrs. Chen quickly agreed.

She was also worried that once Jiang Cheng left with that person, she would be left blind.

"Grandma, Xiaoyue, you two stay at home and don't open the door unless we knock on it."

"Well, don't worry, Brother Jiang Cheng, I know." Lin Yue nodded vigorously.

Having lived in the slums for a long time, she is still wary.

Jiang Cheng brought Mrs. Chen downstairs and told Bai Wei. The latter readily agreed and got out of the car directly, introducing the surroundings to Mrs. Chen as they walked.

Mrs. Chen listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After spending more than half an hour buying basic daily necessities, it was time to say goodbye.

Jiang Cheng stood outside the door, looking at the three people in the room, his eyes red.

"Mrs. Chen, I'll ask you to take care of grandma during this period of time."

“Xiao Cheng, why are you talking like that? Even if you don’t say anything, your sister-in-law will take good care of grandma for you.”

"Brother Jiang Cheng, don't worry, we will take good care of grandma."

"Well, grandma, I'm leaving."

Jiang Cheng smiled and waved.

"Xiaocheng, be careful when you go back! Don't fight with others. If you really can't make it, just suffer a little loss, okay?" The old man burst into tears.

"understood."

Jiang Cheng slowly closed the door and sniffed.

"Do you really want to go back?"

Bai Wei stood aside, her eyes a little red.

"Ah."

Jiang Cheng nodded without hesitation.

After settling his family down, he can now free up some of his energy.
