CH 20.1

Ji Zhile was so excited, he did not expect that he would gain so much from coming out tonight.

It turned out that only three or four mineral water bottles could be found in a trash can, but tonight he found eight in a trash can!

The garbage bags that he brought out could not fit, so Ji Zhile imitated the movements of those old ladies who picked up bottles. He unscrewed the bottle cap, put the bottle on the ground, and stomped it flat. Then he put it in his bags.

Sure enough, a lot of bottles could be filled in this way. Ji Zhile was so happy that he was going crazy, thinking that he could earn five yuan tonight. If Xiao Yuan were here, they would definitely be able to find more bottles. Unfortunately, he is the only one now.

But Ji Zhile did not dare to let Uncle Security see him. Uncle Security knew him. If he saw him picking up bottles, he would definitely tell his mother.

While avoiding people, Ji Zhile was picking up bottles. When a car passed by on the road and the lights came on, Ji Zhile quickly hid behind a big tree.

Covered by the shade of the trees, he poked his head out quietly and took a look outside.

This glance surprised Ji Zhile. He blinked in disbelief. Is that Dad?

Ji Zhile carefully looked at it several times. Finally decided at that time, he only had one thought in his mind. There were so many bottles here, if Dad picked them up with him, he might earn ten yuan tonight!

Seeing that his father was about to leave, Ji Zhile ran out immediately.

The surprise of meeting dilutes many others in an instant. But Ji Zhile quickly regained his senses and warmly invited his father to pick up bottles with him.

His father seemed to be taken aback for a moment and then asked him, “Zhile, what are you doing here?”

Ji Zhile said naturally: “I’m picking up bottles.”

He opened the garbage bag, shook it, and said proudly, “Dad, look at how much I picked up.”

His father seemed to take a deep breath and said, “Zhile, don’t pick it up. I brought you back an empty bottle.”

Ji Zhile’s eyes widened: “Where is it?”

His father took him by the hand, took him into the car, and took out a cardboard box from the trunk, which was full of beautiful bottles of different colors.

Ji Zhile’s gaze was attracted at once. The pattern on the bottle’s body shone on the street lamp. It was colorful and beautiful.

Ji Zhile suddenly felt a little bit reluctant. It’s a pity to sell such a beautiful bottle. But this thought only stayed in his head for a second. He resolutely opened his garbage bag and said, “Dad, let’s put them together with the bottles I picked up.”

Their family is already very poor. No matter how beautiful the bottle is, it is just a bottle. A bottle that can be sold for money.

His father put the bottles together and Ji Zhile took a look. One garbage bag was already full.

“Isn’t that enough?” Dad asked him.

Ji Zhile said: “Of course, not enough. The more the better.”

His father frowned and his voice was a little low, as if he was talking to himself, “So many bottles are needed for the kindergarten to do handwork.”

“Zhile, let’s go home first.”

Ji Zhile only brought one garbage bag with him when he went out today and it was already full, so he nodded and said, “Okay.”

Ji Zhile thought, waiting to be back home. He can bring a few more garbage bags and go out to pick up bottles with his father.

Dad is home now. His salary of 20 yuan a day is gone, so he has to work harder to earn money.

When the car was approaching the villa, Ji Zhile was about to get out of the car. He said seriously: “Dad, I have very important things to do.”

His father also got out of the car with him. Ji Zhile took his precious garbage bag, walked to the garden outside the villa, and skillfully found the place where the bottle was hidden yesterday. He broke open the dwarf tree and then widened his eyes.

What about the bottle he hid yesterday?

Ji Zhile immediately looked for the side, but there was no one. He searched it carefully, but it was still not there.

How could it be? Ji Zhile’s eyes were blank. He felt that the sky was about to collapse. He hid a lot of bottles here yesterday. Why are they gone?

“What’s wrong, Zhile?”

His father’s voice made Ji Zhile burst into tears. He said aggrievedly: “The bottle I hid here yesterday is gone.”

His father said very gently: “Maybe the cleaning aunt in the community thought it was garbage and took it away.”

“It’s not garbage. I picked it up.” Ji Zhile said.

His father touched his head: “What bottle do you need? Dad will buy it for you.”

Ji Zhile shook his head with tears in her eyes: “I want my bottle.”

How can Dad buy it? Their family has no money.

“Okay, don’t cry, go home. There should be empty bottles at home if you need them.”

“Now, do you want to take the bottle back with you?”

Ji Zhile thought for a while, but still shook his head: “I can’t let Mom see it.”

Ji Jiangzhou, who brought his son home, felt that everything was weird tonight.

The young son who loves cleanliness was looking for bottles in the trash can and putting the bottles he brought back together. Ji Jiangzhou took it for granted that these were the manual requirements of the kindergarten.

Kindergarten had similar homework, like waste utilization, Ji Zhile used newspapers to make trash cans.

Is it just that so many mineral water bottles are needed this time? The first moment he saw Ji Zhile, Ji Jiangzhou already sensed something was wrong.

But if this assumption is put aside, Ji Jiangzhou really can’t think of any other reason to make his youngest son come out to dig through the trash can at night.

“Why can’t Mom see it?” Ji Jiangzhou asked.

The last time he went home was a month ago. Ji Zhile and Si Tian had a very cold relationship, but Ningyi relied on Si Tian very much.

During this month, the relationship between Ji Zhile and Si Tian seems to have improved a lot.

Ji Zhile gave him a strange look: “Dad, don’t you know the reason?”

Ji Jiangzhou was puzzled. What should he know?

Ji Zhile hesitated for a while but hid the garbage bag full of bottles in his hand in the garden. He covered it with some leaves.

Ji Zhile said in a low voice, “Dad, our family is very poor and has no money.”

Ji Jiangzhou:?

He suspected that he was having auditory hallucinations because he did not sleep last night. He wanted to ask a few more questions, when the lights outside the villa came on, a sweet female voice sounded: “Ji Zhile, go home quickly.”

When Si Tian was playing with her mobile phone in the living room, she heard Ji Zhile’s voice outside. But she did not know what Ji Zhile was playing, so he never entered the house.

After waiting for two minutes, Si Tian finally stood up and opened the door to call for someone.

But…

Who is that man next to Ji Zhile?

Judging by Si Tian’s picky eyes, the man’s appearance is also beyond reproach. With excellent facial features, excellent eyebrows, and eyes. The shape of the eyes is long, it is a very beautiful red phoenix eye. The bridge of the nose is high and straight, it is shrouded in a small shadow, which is the appearance of a very scumbag. (T/N: Hahahaha… handsome = scumbag? Where’s your logic Si Tian?)

But his suit was straight, his shirt was white, and the top button was tightly buttoned. He exuded a strong aura of elite abstinence.

Si Tianxin let out a thud. This fucking man was made according to her liking!

She put down her mobile phone, put her hair behind her ears, her lips curled up slightly, her voice was ambiguous, and the ending sounded up and down: “Handsome guy, who are you looking for?”

Ji Zhile’s eyes widened: “Mom, this is Dad!”

Si Tian:?
