CH 19.2

“Xiao Ai.”

The first time, the system did not reply to her, it was as quiet as a chicken, as if it 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, Host?]

Si Tian took a sip of milk tea slowly. It’s only been a while, and even the system has become smoother.

After what happened just now, Si Tian did not 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 its heart, so it 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.”

Xiao Ai:! !

[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: “At least five days. If it doesn’t work, pull down, and we all finish playing.”

Xiao Ai: [Woo… 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. 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. He 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 could not 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 he 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 could not move at 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. He 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 could not 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 did not eat spicy food.

“I just like the taste.”

Ji Zhile could not figure it out. How could anyone like bad food? Is it because it’s cheap?

Then today, his mother told him in the amusement park that their family was actually cheating on him if they had money. 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 his father again and made sure to ask his father 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 could not 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 his 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.

Woo… 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 small setback did not hit Ji Zhile. He decided to pick up bottles the next day. Although there are not many bottles in the garbage can in their community, it was convenient for Ji Zhile to go out and the teachers have told them all about the truth.

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. He was getting more and more tired at the moment, but he was not used to sleeping in the car. He turned his gaze out the window.

Suddenly, Ji Jiangzhou’s eyes focused on a certain point.

“Stop.”

When the car stopped, Ji Jiangzhou opened the door and stepped out.

He stood outside the car and looked around, but he did not 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 did not spend much time together, Ji Jiangzhou knew that the youngest son loved cleanliness and hated dirty smells.

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. A child bumped into him, hugged his thigh, and looked up at him. His eyes were shining and 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!”
