Chapter 19:
Dad, come and pick up bottles with me!
At first, Ji Zhile gathered around to watch the performance.
The performance in the amusement park is very simple. Girls in national costumes are dancing, and there is still a drama in the dance. Ji Zhile stands on tiptoe, watching seriously.
Until he heard the discussion of the girl next to him.
"Their dresses are so pretty."
"I searched for the same item, hey! It's only one hundred and eighty-nine, take a look."
Ji Zhile's ears moved, and when she turned her head to the side, she saw two girls discussing this skirt enthusiastically.
Ji Zhile thought of something, and his expression sank.
Beautiful skirt, one hundred and eighty-nine, he can earn five yuan a day picking up bottles, how long will it take to buy a skirt?
Ji Zhile can only do some addition and subtraction, he hasn't learned multiplication and division yet, and he can't do it with his fingers, but he knows it will take a long, long time.
Ji Zhile looked at the girls dancing in the arena, and his eyes fell on their glittering skirts. Ji Zhile felt that if her mother wore this skirt, she must be the most beautiful mother in the world.
But my mother is so poor that she only has one skirt.
He took the merry-go-round twice, the small train, and the Ferris wheel just now, and he must have spent a lot of money.
Ji Zhile suddenly didn't even want to watch the show, and searched around, and then successfully locked a trash can.
But if you look through the trash can here, you will definitely be seen by your mother, Ji Zhile is hesitant, and at this moment, he sees a girl holding a bottle not far away.
The girl looked a little older than him, and there was only a little water in the bottle in her hand, Ji Zhile felt that she should throw it away immediately.
He can't go to the trash can to pick up bottles, but he can ask others to give him the bottles he doesn't want.
Therefore, Ji Zhile approached the girl. He was good-looking, and it was easy for people to fall in love with him.
"Sister." Ji Zhile shouted.
The girl looked at him with a dazed and timid expression, and asked in a low voice, "Did you call me?"
Ji Zhile nodded: "Are you going to finish drinking the water? If you don't want it, can you give me the empty bottle?"
The girl nodded, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the water in two gulps.
Ji Zhile looked at it, his eyes were shining, and he was calculating in his head how many empty bottles it would take to exchange for a beautiful dress.
The girl handed him the water bottle, and Ji Zhile said politely, "Thank you sister."
He grinned at the corner of his mouth, and as soon as his hand touched the bottle, he heard his mother's voice: "Ji Zhile, what are you doing?"
Ji Zhile panicked, a hand trembled, and the bottle fell to the ground when it was not connected securely.
Si Tian has already walked in front of him.
Ji Zhile was flustered, and he didn't dare to pick up the bottle or look at Si Tian, so he whispered, "I didn't do anything."
Si Tian looked at the little girl. The little girl looked very timid. Si Tian tried to soften her voice: "Are you guys playing games?"
The little girl glanced at her timidly, and said softly, "No, my brother wants an empty bottle, so I'll give it to him."
Si Tian was taken aback, she didn't expect this development at all, what did Ji Zhile want to do with an empty bottle? Could it be that the kindergarten is going to do handwork again? She joined the class group and watched it specially on Friday. The teacher didn't assign any homework.
It has to be said that at this moment, the thoughts of the two of them are highly unified.
No one would have guessed that Ji Zhile wanted this bottle to sell it for money.
Si Tian squatted down, picked up the bottle, and placed it between the two children: "Then whose bottle is it now?"
The girl was a little afraid to look at her, and whispered, "It belongs to my brother."
Si Tian handed it to Ji Zhile, and Ji Zhile took a cautious look at her, seeing that she was not angry, before taking it.
"Thank you." Ji Zhile turned into a very polite child at this time.
At this time, the girl's parents also came over and took the girl away. Si Tian stood there, very puzzled, did she look fierce? Why did a strange little girl act like she didn't dare to look at her, which made Si Tian feel very depressed.
She didn't know, the girl walked away with her mother, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, that auntie is so beautiful, I dare not look at her anymore."
"Little poetry is also very beautiful."
The girl lowered her head, her fingers were intertwined, and she didn't speak.
Ji Zhile walked beside Si Tian holding the bottle, he always looked up at Si Tian from time to time, and then lowered his head to stare at the mineral water bottle in his hand.
Si Tian caught Ji Zhile's gaze and immediately became even more depressed.
"Ji Zhile, do I look fierce?"
Ji Zhile looked up at her, and nodded honestly.
Si Tian tried to suppress his temper and reasoned with him: "I won't lose my temper indiscriminately. You see, I beat you last time because you were rude to me, didn't you?"
Ji Zhile was not very happy when this matter was mentioned, his mouth pouted, but he couldn't help answering, so he just mumbled.
"Then tell me directly if you have something to do, don't always look at me."
Ji Zhile hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Mom, will you be angry?"
Si Tian looked inexplicable: "Why am I angry?"
Ji Zhile shook the mineral water bottle in his hand: "Because I'm going to ask for a bottle."
Si Tian chuckled: "You want the bottle to have its own function, and that girl is willing to give it to you, why should I be angry?"
Ji Zhile gave a half-understanding oh, but his mother didn't ask him what he wanted the bottle for, so Ji Zhile didn't say anything.
Si Tian asked again: "Ji Zhile, do you want some water, I'll buy it."
To buy water and spend money, Ji Zhile shook his head decisively: "I brought water."
Si Tian asked Ji Ningyi again, and got the same answer, Si Tian didn't feel embarrassed at all, and went straight to buy milk tea.
There were quite a lot of people in line, but she stood at the end.
Ji Zhile saw it and asked Ji Ningyi: "Brother, is milk tea expensive?"
Ji Ningyi knew better than him: "A cup costs more than ten yuan."
Ji Zhile opened his mouth wide in surprise, then he would have to pick up bottles for several days to buy a cup of milk tea. I don't know if his mother has money.
Ji Zhile squeezed the five yuan in her pocket, walked towards Si Tian resolutely, tugged at the hem of her clothes, raised her head and asked, "Mom, do you have money to buy milk tea?"
If not, he can give his mother the only five dollars he has.
Si Tian said, "Of course there is."
She knelt down and whispered in Ji Zhile's ear, "Actually, our family is quite rich."
Wealth should not be revealed, and others should not hear it.
Ji Zhile was puzzled, why did her mother always think they were rich even though her father could only earn 20 yuan a day?
After Si Tian bought the milk tea, she sat on the cool chair and continued to rest. The two children also went to play, and she was free to have some in-depth exchanges with the system.
"Little Love."
The first time, the system didn't reply to her, she was as quiet as a chicken, as if she was dead.
Si Tian: "I know you're here, don't pretend to be dead."
Xiao Ai finally spoke up, and said very attentive words in a very ignorant tone: "I just heard it, what's the matter with the host?"
Si Tian took a sip of milk tea slowly, and it's only been a while, even the system has become smoother.
After what happened just now, Si Tian didn't want to linger with the system anymore, and said directly: "I want to set up a card pool and a minimum drop time."
Xiao Ai preset the host's answer in her heart, so she asked with ease: "How long does the host want to set the minimum drop time?"
If it is set to one day, then it will reluctantly agree, if it is set to two days, then it can still negotiate the price, Xiao Ai has thought about it.
"Ten days."
Little Love:! !
"This can't be done, I can't do it!"
How can someone directly break through the psychological line of a person as soon as he comes up!
Si Tian frowned: "Then eight days."
Xiao Ai cried: "It's really too much."
Si Tian regressed again, very impatient: "The minimum is five days, if you can't do it, you will be pulled down, we are all done."
Xiao Ai: "Wow, I will apply."
Si Tian softened her voice: "Well, let's go, you can see that I have given in much better. Since it is cooperation, we must show sincerity."
Xiao Ai thought about it too, and agreed humbly: "Okay."
Si Tian closed her eyes and rested very satisfied.
It seems that the fenestration theory works not only for people, but also for systems. The traditional culture is really broad and profound.
The mother and son played in the amusement park all morning, and Si Tian was in good spirits when she went back. After all, she rested for a long time and won the battle of wits and courage against the system.
Maybe it can't be called a battle of wits and courage, it is a unilateral crush.
When they got home, the aunt had already prepared the meals, and the two children ate lightly. The dishes in front of Si Tian were all bright red and covered with a layer of chili.
Ji Zhile breathed a sigh of relief when there were no carrots, and saw Si Tian's dishes in a blink of an eye, and felt a little greedy.
Finally, when Si Tian was eating with great concentration and relish, Ji Zhile couldn't hold back the temptation and said, "Mom, I want to eat your food too."
Si Tian wanted to refuse at first, but then she thought that she had told Ji Zhile today that she had something to say directly. It would definitely hurt people to refuse now, so she nodded: "Come on."
Ji Zhile's eyes lit up, he was already hungry seeing his mother eating with gusto, and today he can finally taste it.
Ji Zhile picked up his small spoon and tried to scoop up the ingredients in the boiled sliced meat, but the spoon couldn't move after all, so Si Tian picked up a piece of meat for him and put it into Ji Zhile's spoon.
Ji Zhile cheerfully put it into his own bowl, and put it into his mouth with a gulp.
The moment the tip of his tongue tasted the spiciness, he wrinkled his face, climbed off the stool in a panic, and spit it all into the trash can.
Si Tian was dumbfounded, she had never seen anyone who couldn't eat spicy food so much.
Ji Zhile took several sips of water to suppress the strange taste in his mouth. He frowned and said, "Mom, it's not delicious."
Si Tian smiled immediately: "I didn't lie to you, I told you it was not good."
Today's experience completely overturned Ji Zhile's cognition, and he said seriously: "Mom, don't eat."
Si Tian shook her head, she might as well die if she didn't eat spicy food.
"I just like the taste."
Ji Zhile couldn't figure it out, how could anyone like bad food? Is it because it's cheap?
Then today in the amusement park, his mother told him that their family was cheating him because they were rich. Ji Zhile felt that he understood everything, and he made a decision in his heart that he must pick up more bottles!
Back in the room, Ji Zhile called Dad again, and made sure to ask Dad to bring back a mineral water bottle.
Ji Zhile made a small plan in his heart. He can't just pick up bottles on weekends. His mother eats such unpalatable dishes because they are too poor. As long as he picks up more bottles, his mother doesn't have to feel wronged.
Ji Zhile is a very active child. After dinner on Monday night, he took the initiative to say: "Mom, I want to go out to play."
Of course Si Tian agreed, she had also been a child and knew that children couldn't stay at home.
The security in the villa area is good, so there is no need to worry about any problems.
As soon as Ji Zhile went out, he went straight to the trash can in the community. He had observed the location of the trash can when he went to school today. He took out the trash bag in his pocket and started to look for the bottle.
But the bottle can't be taken home, otherwise it will be seen by mother, Ji Zhile thinks it can be hidden in the garden outside their house, and will be sold with Xiao Yuan on weekends.
On the first day of picking up bottles in the community, Ji Zhile harvested more than a dozen bottles. After hiding the garbage bags, Ji Zhile went home.
There was some sweat on his forehead, so he wiped it off, then took off the disposable gloves and threw them away.
When Ji Zhile came home, Si Tian was watching a TV series, when she heard footsteps and looked back, she was startled.
"Where did you go, Ji Zhile? Why did you make your face so dirty?"
Ji Zhile touched his face in a daze, and Si Tian quickly took him to the bathroom.
When Ji Zhile looked up and saw himself in the mirror, with black finger marks on his face, he groaned and buried his head in the water.
Woohoo, why did he get his face dirty? He obviously wore gloves.
Si Tian watched Ji Zhile desperately washing his face, and teased, "Ji Zhile, you must be picking up trash, right?"
Ji Zhile froze, and said stiffly, "No."
He was picking up bottles, not trash.
This little setback didn't hurt Ji Zhile. He decided to pick up bottles the next day. Although there weren't many bottles in the trash cans in their community, it was convenient for Ji Zhile to go out. told them.
The next day, Ji Zhile continued to stuff the garbage bag in his pocket and went out.
It was getting dark, and the street lamps shone brightly.
In the villa area with the most expensive land in the city, a child who is not much higher than the trash can is struggling to find a bottle in the trash can. He avoids the security guards, sneaks alone, and works very hard.
Ji Jiangzhou was on his way home at this time, the driver drove into the villa area, Ji Jiangzhou rubbed the center of his brows.
There was an unexpected incident in the company yesterday, but in order to fulfill his promise to go home on Tuesday, Ji Jiangzhou spent a whole night dealing with it and rushed back. He only slept on the plane for a while, and he was getting more and more tired at the moment, but he was not used to sleeping in the car , and turned his gaze out the window.
Suddenly Ji Jiangzhou's eyes focused on a certain point.
"wait a moment."
When the car stopped, Ji Jiangzhou opened the door and stepped out.
He stood outside the car and looked around, but he didn't see any children, only the palm trees on both sides of the road cast dark shadows under the street lights.
Ji Jiangzhou felt that he may have misread it due to lack of sleep. He saw a child picking up trash in the car just now, and his back looked a bit like Ji Zhile.
But just think about it, Ji Zhile should be at home at this time, how could he be outside and dig through the trash can.
Although the father and son didn't spend much time together, Ji Jiangzhou knew that the youngest son loved cleanliness and hated dirty smell.
Ji Jiangzhou was about to return to the car, but suddenly there was a surprised and immature voice from behind.
"dad!"
Ji Jiangzhou turned around, and a child bumped into him, hugged his thigh, looked up at him, his eyes were shining, his face was flushed with sweat, there was a black mark on his forehead, and he was holding a garbage bag in his hand. There were many bottles in it, and there was a rattling sound as they shook.
Ji Zhile said excitedly: "Dad, you are back, hurry up and pick up bottles with me! There are so many empty bottles here!"
