    ☆、Where are we going, dad 1

    It rained heavily.

    Lines of rain formed a massive curtain of water between the sky and the earth, enveloping the city like a dragnet.In the night, the silent building complex is like a giant beast. Its rugged and undulating body is dotted with dim lights. Together with the chaotic footsteps, it converges into a heart-stopping wait.

    The girl curled up and didn’t dare to breathe.In the dark alley, where she couldn’t see her fingers, she hid herself behind an abandoned oil tank, pressing her body against the cold surface of the tank, the coldness reaching into one’s bones.

    “…Have you found it?”

    “Go over there and have a look.”

    Faint voices came from afar, and the dull sound of military boots stepping on the water was getting closer and closer. She clenched her hands tightly, and her breathing was so rapid that it seemed like she was about to break. Bang, bang, bang… her heart seemed to pop out of her throat.

    As we get closer, the sound of footsteps has reached our ears.

    At the entrance of the alley, a dim street lamp was glowing.The light bulb seemed to be broken, and the bright and dim lights flickered, and the tall figure shrouded it, completely covering the last bit of dimness.

    Black military uniform, white gloves, long riding boots.The lower edge of the black cloak was fluttering in the wind and rain, and the collar was blown open by the wind. What flashed past was a silver collar badge inlaid with a long sword and a token.

    The hand holding the holster moved slightly, and the girl’s heartbeat almost shattered her eardrums.

    The man’s face was hidden in the gloom, but even so, she still felt two sharp eyes sweeping over her, resting on the oil tank where she was hiding.

    Found, discovered…

    The coldness poured from head to toe, and the huge anger and disappointment made her dizzy. She almost jumped up desperately and died with the man.

    But no, she couldn’t do this, even for… With her hands trembling, she hugged the soft little ball in her arms tighter.No matter what, you must survive.

    “Sir, did you find anything?”

    Another sound came from far and near, snap, and the man standing at the entrance of the alley moved.He glanced over the oil tank smoothly, turned around, and said calmly: “There is nothing here.”

    After saying that, the footsteps gradually faded away.

    The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raging wind seemed to uproot the entire city. The girl stood up, and in the wind and rain, she smiled as if she had survived the disaster.

    The people were gone and she managed to escape.

    Taking a deep breath, she unbuttoned her clothes.Under the coat is a round ball. The baby is curled up in her arms, his little face is flushed, and he is sleeping soundly.

    With a squeak, the public express bus stopped in front of the station.

    Yao Ji walked out with tired steps. When she looked up, she saw the small figure in the convenience store.

    I saw the little guy standing in front of the shelf, focusing on comparing the price tags on the shelf.The white fleshy claws were held under the chin. He was clearly a child of five or six years old, but at this moment he was as old-fashioned as a little adult. He muttered: “…It has increased by 0.3% compared with three days ago. It seems that it will increase again this month. Buy more.”

    As he spoke, he stood on tiptoes and took down a large can of milk from the shelf.Holding the milk and stomping to the cashier, he raised his little face and smiled sweetly: “Grandma, check out.”

    “Okay.”

    The owner of the convenience store is a gray-haired old woman who has opened a store in the community for many years. She operates a small business and cannot afford to buy a supermarket robot. She still uses an old-fashioned computer for cashiering.

    The old woman stretched out her hand and pressed tremblingly on the keyboard: “Well, this milk has a discount of 8.5, so the price is… the price is…”

    “32.6, grandma.” Xiaotuanzi said sweetly.

    “Yes, yes, it’s 32.6,” the old woman couldn’t help but laugh, “An’an is really smart, she went shopping again, where is your mother?”

    “My mother…” Before he finished speaking, Xiaotuanzi turned his head away as if he felt something.The automatic door slid open, and a familiar and graceful figure walked in. He’s eyes lit up, and he didn’t even bother to take the milk. He ran over and hugged Yao Ji’s leg, “Mom!”

    “Mom is back.” Yao Ji leaned down and touched her son’s soft hair.

    The black hair was as smooth as satin.Under the bangs are a pair of crystal clear eyes, deep black in color, with a slight hint of blue in the depths of the pupils.The delicate and comely facial features make the little boy look like an angel.He rubbed his face on Yao Ji’s trouser legs: “You came back late today, mom.”

    “I’m sorry, baby.” Yao Ji hugged him, “But mom has some good news to tell you, An An, do you want to hear it?”

    “Mom has found a new job.”

    At the dinner table, the mother and son were talking about today’s trivial matters while eating.

    Xiaotuanzi never lets Yaoji worry too much. After his mother goes out in the morning, he gets up by himself, washes himself, and eats breakfast.After eating, I stayed at home reading my homework. I found that there was almost no milk at home, so I went downstairs to the convenience store.

    In contrast, Yao Ji spent a whole day running around. A week ago, the music classroom where she worked closed down. In order to maintain the livelihood of mother and son, she had to find a job as soon as possible.

    However, after a busy week, there was still no result. Fortunately, just this afternoon, she received a message from her former boss.

    “It’s the music classroom where my mother used to work. Do you remember that fat aunt? She recommended my mother to be a home piano teacher.”

    Although it was a short-term job, the salary was very high because the employer was an evolved species living in the upper third district.

    “But…” Xiaotuanzi hesitated, “How could an evolved species…”

    “Why are you hiring primitive species, right?” Yao Ji smiled and said, “My mother also thought it was strange at first. She asked Aunt Wang, and she said that the employer was an enlightened person and had no discrimination against primitive species. Moreover… the children in that family had a bad temper and had already driven away eight piano teachers.”

    When Xiaotuanzi heard this, he immediately frowned: “Then will mom be bullied?”

    “Mom won’t let anyone bully her,” Yao Ji explained patiently, “Besides, I’m only working for three months. When the salary is paid, we’ll go have a big meal, okay?”

    She said it easily, but Yao Ji was actually murmuring in her heart.

    In this day and age, there are not many evolved species that are willing to hire primitive species, but they are almost rare.She trusted her former boss and would not lie to her about this kind of thing. In this case, her new student must have an unusually bad temper.

    If possible, she doesn’t want to have any contact with those upper-class people, but she needs money, and the salary is too tempting.So when the boss told her what she wanted, she only hesitated for ten seconds before agreeing.

    After eating, Yaoji rushed Xiaotuanzi to take a bath, took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen and started washing them.

    The smart kitchen system at home is broken, and we haven’t found a worker to repair it yet.Once repaired, it will be another expense.While washing the dishes, Yao Ji was calculating in her mind.She just consulted with Boss Luo a few days ago. The price of an original ID on the black market was as high as 800,000 yuan. With all her savings in the past few years, there was still a shortfall of 300,000 yuan before she could buy an ID for her son.

    She will have to earn this money for at least two more years, but An An is already six years old.
