"Come in."

Secretary Su came in and put some photos and a document in front of Shen Shaochuan: "the woman in the photo is Jiang Lihua, the mother of Miss Gu sang. Now she lives on the sixth floor of the new building in Tongzi Hutong, Xicheng. Her husband jumped down from his own building six years ago and died on the spot. Since then, her mother has been living alone."

"Alone? What about Gu sang? "

Shen Shaochuan wondered why Sang Sang didn't live with her mother?

"Miss Gu sang ran away from home six years ago and didn't come back until this year. I haven't investigated where she lived in the past six years. If you need, I can start investigating now." The Secretary replied respectfully.

"No, where is the Tong Zi lane? I haven't heard of it yet. You tell me the general location. I'll go myself. "

When Shen Shaochuan said that he would go in person, Secretary Su was a little surprised and said, "president, Tongzi hutong is recognized as a poor area in our imperial city. Isn't it suitable for you to go?"

"Slums?"

Sang Sang was born in a slum. How did she know Duan jingnian and marry him?

There is no reason for a rich family like Duan jingnian to marry a girl from a slum.

"Yes, most of the people living there are migrant workers, and some gamblers who have nothing to do all day. The community is very chaotic, so I don't think it's suitable for you to go." Secretary Su was a little worried and wanted to ask if he was needed to accompany him.

Shen Shaochuan frowned: "aren't people living in slums? If they can go, if there's anything I can't, just leave it alone. I'll do it by myself. You go out first. "

Shen Shaochuan also knows that he should not investigate Gu sang like this.

Can see Gu Sang's appearance, know oneself is anyway, also can't get what useful news from her mouth.

In order to find out the truth, he had to investigate by himself.

Shen Shaochuan looked up the route to Tongzi Hutong from the Internet, and he went out regardless of the meal.

The car can only drive to the intersection and can't go in any more. Shen Shaochuan can't help but feel sad when he listens and looks at the living conditions of the people living here.

There is no such scene in his world. As he walks, he imagines that Gu sang, who was ten years ago, twenty years ago, or even just beginning to learn how to walk, stumbles, carries a schoolbag, or carries things back and forth from here.

This is the place where Gu sang lived from childhood to adulthood. Whether he was sad or happy, the story began here.

Only at the end of the road can we find the new building among the people. The name of this building is Xinjian building, but it looks like it has been for some years.

In the middle of summer, the walls are covered with Parthenocissus, and the clumps of green are full of square wooden windows. It looks like a different scene.

Shen Shaochuan went up to the sixth floor and pressed the doorbell. For a long time, no one came to open the door. He thought there was no one at home. As soon as he turned to leave, the door was opened with a snap.

When he looked back, he saw a middle-aged woman, about fifty years old, wearing a plain flowered shirt. Some of her hair had turned into gorgeous hair. Standing there, she looked at him in surprise: "who are you looking for, please?"

Shen Shaochuan quickly straightened his clothes, thinking that she was Gu Sang's mother, his face immediately had respect, and bowed slightly: "Hello aunt, my name is Shen Shaochuan, and I'm Sangsang's friend."

"Sang Sang's friend?" Jiang Lihua was a little surprised to hear him say that. She quickly opened the door to welcome him into the room.

"Please come in, I'm sorry, there's a mess at home. Sang Sang has never brought his friends home, so I don't have any preparation this time. I'll make you laugh."

"Auntie, you're welcome. I'm also passing by. I thought you lived here, so I came to have a look." Shen Shaochuan said so and looked around the room. The living room was not big. There were only half made puppets piled everywhere.

Jiang Lihua managed to pile the puppets aside and asked him to sit down.

"I'm out of work now. I'm doing some manual work at home, sticking eyes on teddy bears and making some money."

"How much do you earn by doing this?"

"A dime is OK. I can post more than 200 a day." Jiang Lihua said with two fingers, and seemed very satisfied.

More than 200, only more than 20 yuan a day, for more than 20 yuan can be happy like this, is she really Duan jingnian's mother-in-law?

It's unbelievable.

He looked around and saw the picture on the wall. He couldn't help chuckling: "was that when Sang Sang was a child?"

Jiang Lihua also turned to look at it, and her lips were filled with a smile: "yes, my family Sang Sang grew up very watery when she was a child. It's a pity that who met and liked the people in this alley. It's a pity that she has a bad life and became my daughter, otherwise she must now..." Jiang Lihua said and lowered her head, feeling guilty.

Shen Shaochuan looks at Gu sang as a child in the photo. She wears two clever horsetails and stands quietly behind the rose. Her faint smile and crescent like eyes attract people's love. Her smile is as gentle as she is now. The only difference is that her eyes are stubborn and firm at that time.When did she lose it? "It's really watery, but not as good as it is now."

Seeing that his eyes were so focused, Jiang Lihua felt that something was not right: "how do you know us Sangsang? Sang Sang seldom goes home, but she never mentions you. "

"We are friends in need. We just got to know each other. I asked her to help me find out about the old villa area. But she asked me for a long time and didn't tell me the address. Today, when I passed by, I just remembered that it was faster to ask myself."

Shen Shaochuan avoided the heavy and took the light. He turned around and looked at the room. Basically, the room was not decorated. The simple two bedrooms were all concrete floors and white paint walls.

"Oh, that's what happened. Sang Sang asked me once when he came back. You wait and I'll write the address for you." Jiang Lihua quickly ran back to the bedroom to find a pen to write the address.

Shen Shaochuan stood up and went to the table where the TV was placed. When he saw the photo album standing on the side, he opened it curiously and looked through it one by one.

Jiang Lihua came out to see him looking at the photos. She said in a hurry: "these are all old photos. I can't see them."

"When she was a child, Sang Sang seemed to be much more cheerful and smiling than she is now. Now she talks less and smiles less," Shen Shaochuan said, without much nonsense.

"Yes, there will always be some changes when we grow up," Jiang Lihua put the address in his hand. "This place is really evil. It's better to go less and come back earlier."

Shen Shaochuan answered. He turned his head and half jokingly looked at Jiang Lihua and said, "strange, I found that Sang Sang is not like you or uncle."
