Chapter 31 Xiaoxi and the flaw

At the gate of Heping No. 1 Community, Lin Guzhi ended his WeChat chat with Xia Qing and felt like laughing for a moment.

How does this woman think she makes her money?

He knew that it was useless to say anything more to Xia Qing. The woman was stubborn and would not easily accept the money. So he didn't waste his energy and took his cell phone.

He asked Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, how about we go eat first and then go to the playground?"

Xiaoxi asked: "What is an amusement park?"

Lin Guzhi replied: "It's a place to play. There are many fun things."

Xiaoxi asked, "Is it as fun as a bubble wand?"

In ten days, she had played with the liquid in several bubble wands at home and learned the name of the bubble wand. Before she had been exposed to many toys, the bubble wand was the most fun toy for her, more fun than the harmonica.

——The reason why she played the harmonica more than the bubble wand was because she knew that the liquid in the bubble wand could be wasted, and she was reluctant to do so.

Even though Lin Guzhi bought her a new bubble wand later, she still couldn't bear to part with it.

Lin Guzhi touched Xiaoxi's head and said, "Yes, it's as fun as a bubble wand. There are many other toys that are more fun than a bubble wand. Can I buy one for you later?"

Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, but then she became confused: "Xiaolin, will you spend money?"

After being in this world for more than ten days, she understood that the biggest difference between this world and the end of the world is that you need to spend money to buy things.

In that world, supplies within the team are distributed according to the division of labor and needs, while things outside the team are all collected and fought for.

That’s why Xiaoxi said to Dong Xiaoduan when she was on night shift in the warehouse: “We don’t steal, we only rob.”

After that, Lin Guzhi realized that he had to first make Xiaoxi understand the difference between the way of obtaining things in this world and the end of the world. He even gave Xiaoxi cash and asked Xiaoxi to use the cash to exchange for bubble sticks from the convenience store clerk.

Xiaoxi gradually understood the difference between the two worlds and also understood the role of money.

Xiaoxi, who had been used to the days of scarcity in the apocalypse, soon realized that money was also a very precious resource, so she treasured it even more. Later, she even refused to let Lin Guzhi buy her a bubble stick, and after he bought it for her, she also played more frugally.

Now that I’ve heard that it’s a more fun toy than a bubble wand, I can’t help but wonder if it will cost more.

Lin Guzhi certainly didn't want Xiaoxi to be like this forever. Why should a child this young worry about money? Children of this age should only have their eyes on things they like, and they should ask for them when they see things they like.

"It's okay. We have money. Remember the money Aunt Anxin gave us? There was a lot."

Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi said.

Xiaoxi asked: "How much is a lot, Xiaolin?"

Lin Guzhi said: "It can buy a warehouse of bubble sticks."

"Wow! Really?!"

Xiaoxi's eyes lit up again. After working so many night shifts with Lin Guzhi in the warehouse of Jinlong Supermarket, she already had a clear idea of ​​what a warehouse was and how big it was.

That’s enough to buy a warehouse of bubble wands, that’s a lot!
She was no longer worried now and happily followed Lin Guzhi to have breakfast. After breakfast, they headed to the nearby amusement park together.

……

Xia Qing was in Unit 1701, Building of the residential complex. After finishing her work, she heaved a sigh of relief.

After Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi left, she realized that just these two people going out was not enough to deal with Yang Lijing. Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi had lived here for more than ten days, and there were traces of them everywhere in the house. If she didn't clean it up quickly, Yang Lijing would definitely notice it.

Having lived with Yang Lijing for so long, no one knew Yang Lijing's intelligence better than Xia Qing.

That sister Yang, who runs her studio very well, is very smart and meticulous. If Xia Qing is not careful, she will definitely be found out.

So she didn't care about feeling guilty towards Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi anymore, and started packing up their things. She put away all the cups, shoes, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. She also had to clean up Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi's bedroom, inside and out, every nook and cranny.

In this nervous manner, they cleaned up the living room, kitchen, bathroom and Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi's bedroom, and finally all traces of Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi's presence were hidden.

Xia Qing heaved a sigh of relief and felt a sense of accomplishment. She actually thought of this and solved all the problems before Sister Yang came. She was unexpectedly amazing!
"Dengdengdeng..."

The phone rang, she answered it and heard Yang Lijing's voice in the receiver: "Open the door!"

She hurried to the door and opened it, then saw Yang Lijing coming in with a plastic bag of sanitary napkins.

Yang Lijing put the plastic bag down, glanced at Xia Qing, and said, "What did you do? Why is there sweat on your forehead?"

Xia Qing smiled and said, "Ah? Really? There's sweat on my forehead? I was just cleaning and I was sweating a little. Sister Yang, do I look ugly like this?"

Yang Lijing suddenly reached out and touched Xia Qing's face, and said with a smile: "What's ugly about it? Look at your hair stuck to your cheeks, how tempting, your little face is white and rosy, so delicate. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I want to take a sip."

Seeing that she had successfully changed the subject, Xia Qing felt relieved and rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Yang, you old rascal!"

Yang Lijing said dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense! I admit that you call me a gangster, but how can you say I'm old?"

Xia Qing said: "Okay, okay, Sister Yang, you are a hooligan, okay. You are not old, not old."

"That's pretty much it!"

Yang Lijing said with a smile, "But you are quite amazing. You even cleaned up and welcomed me. It made me feel like I was here for inspection."

Xia Qing blinked and asked, "Sister Yang, aren't you here to inspect?"

Yang Lijing pretended to be angry: "Why should I bring you sanitary napkins when I come to inspect? I'll take them away later."

Xia Qing begged for mercy: "No, no, no! Sister Yang, you can also care about your subordinates when you inspect!"

"Who dares to treat a young lady like you as a subordinate?"

Yang Lijing waved her hand and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I have something else to do and will be leaving soon. How are your results over the past ten days? Let me check them first."

"And you said you weren't here to inspect..."

Xia Qing muttered, turned around and went to the bedroom, "My guitar is in the bedroom. I'll go get it."

However, she didn't notice that Yang Lijing followed her and entered her bedroom.

A long pink tube on the table in the bedroom attracted Yang Lijing's attention. Yang Lijing picked it up and asked in confusion: "Bubble wand? You are such a grown-up, and you still play with this?"

Xia Qing's face changed.

Oops! I only remembered to clean up the outside and forgot about my bedroom!
　Thanks to Qingya Bailu for the reward.
