Chapter 8 Bubbles
Xiaoxi didn't seem to react much to her father's death.

From the conversation between Xiaoxi and Lin Guzhi just now, Xia Qing could feel that Xiaoxi's father should not be the kind of person who treats Xiaoxi very badly, and the father-daughter relationship between him and Xiaoxi should be pretty good.

She mentioned the word "death" so directly and clearly, which means she must have a clear concept of death. Many children of Xiaoxi's age probably don't even know what death is.

But if that’s the case, how could such a tiny little girl stay so calm when talking about her father’s death?

She didn't know that Xiaoxi had already seen life and death at such a young age, and that in order to survive in the apocalypse, Xiaoxi's most proficient skill was to restrain her emotions.

Failing to do this is as dangerous as not listening to adults.

However, Xiaoxi's calmness made Xia Qing feel even more guilty.

With all kinds of emotions mixed together, Xia Qing finally couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask what happened to Xiaoxi?"

Lin Guzhi said: "You will know later."

"Oh."

Xia Qing agreed sullenly, her voice faint. Her curiosity was not satisfied, and she felt suffocated.

However, Lin Guzhi had no choice. He hadn't figured out how to explain Xiaoxi's origins, so he had to say this.

If you think about it carefully, this is really a hassle. If you want to register Xiaoxi in this world in the future, Xiaoxi's identity and origin must be resolved.

He couldn't tell anyone that Xiaoxi came from another doomsday world.

Who would believe this if I said it out loud?
And if someone suddenly believes it, there is a high possibility that Xiaoxi will be caught and sliced ​​into pieces, right?
Although Lin Guzhi would never let such a thing happen as long as he was here, it was better to have as little trouble as possible.

That night, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi went to bed early. He and Xiaoxi slept in one bedroom, and Xia Qing slept in another bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Lin Guzhi thought again: Let Xiaoxi get familiar with the new world and new environment. It is urgent to cultivate her sense of security. Otherwise, she will not be able to start a new life in this world and at the rhythm of this world.

And when Xiaoxi grows up, it will not be suitable for me to sleep in the same bedroom with her. This world does not need to be vigilant all the time, and Xiaoxi should have and adapt to her own space.

and also……

Work! Work!
After three years away, the prices in this world have gone up a lot. The little money I have won't last long. When I first came back, I wanted to buy a game console to play games. According to the current prices, the new game consoles are probably not cheap, right?

Besides, I have a lot of necessities that I lack, so how can I have the spare money to buy a game console?

It’s better to find a job first and worry about the other things later.

But what kind of job can I find in my current situation?

The university was good, but he knew nothing when he applied for the major, and no one could guide him, so he applied for the finance department. His family had no foundation, and this major meant unemployment for him after graduation.

At first, he wanted to work part-time to earn money for postgraduate entrance exams, to see if he could change his career path, but three years have passed and everything has been delayed.

Now that he is not professionally qualified and has no other skills, what kind of job can he be qualified for?

With all this strength, how can I be a bodyguard? But I don't have any military experience, and I missed three years. In my situation, who would trust me to protect them?

It would be better to find a job as a thug in a nightclub.

But he had experienced the end of the world, and he didn't want to live such a mess again. And he had Xiaoxi by his side. Before Xiaoxi could adapt to this world, he could only keep Xiaoxi by his side.

Thinking about what's best for me right now, perhaps finding a job as a security guard is the best option.

Oh... Let's wait for Dubin to come back in a couple of days. Then I'll see if that guy has any better connections, so that I can take Xiaoxi to see the gate.

——If it was three years ago, he would definitely not allow himself to have such thoughts. But after three years of the apocalypse, the so-called stubbornness and dignity of a college student have disappeared from him.

He deeply understood that survival is the most important thing, and everything else can be put aside.

So he would accept Xia Qing's "charity" without hesitation before, and now he can wait for Du Bin to come back without any psychological pressure, so that he can go through the back door. After a night, Lin Guzhi woke up early the next day. Xiaoxi did the same.

"Let's go, Xiaoxi, go out and buy some groceries, and come back to make breakfast."

Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi said.

"Ah."

Xiaoxi turned over and sat up in bed swiftly.

They both slept in their clothes. The clothes Xia Qing bought were quite casual and much more comfortable than their own clothes, so it didn't affect their sleep. They got up directly and left the bedroom. Seeing that Xia Qing's bedroom door was still closed, they didn't disturb her and went out directly.

The summer morning breeze is still a bit cool.

Lin Guzhi took a deep breath and asked Xiaoxi, "How is it, Xiaoxi? Do you feel more comfortable than over there?"

"Ah."

Xiaoxi also imitated Lin Guzhi and took a breath.

Then take another puff, and another puff.

"Okay, no need to suck so hard. Let's go."

Lin Guzhi said this, taking Xiaoxi's hand and walking forward.

The little hand held the big hand and they left the community. There was an open space at the entrance of the community, like a small square.

When Lin Guzhi pulled Xiaoxi out, he saw several old men in white coats practicing Tai Chi with swords, and children were playing around, but the old men didn't care. The unopened swords were slow and there was no fear of stabbing the children.

Xiaoxi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the children playing, and she seemed attracted to them.

Lin Guzhi took a look and saw a little boy using a bubble machine to shoot bubbles in batches. The other children were jumping around with their hands raised, chasing and hitting the bubbles that were reflecting the colorful bubbles in the sunlight.

"Do you like it? Do you want to go over and play?"

Lin Guzhi asked.

Xiaoxi shook her head, but just stared at the bubbles flying in the wind with her big eyes, unable to look away.

Compared to other happy and carefree children, Xiaoxi, who has had so many experiences, is still too reserved.

Lin Guzhi unknowingly slowed down his pace to let Xiaoxi watch as much as she wanted. It was not until the bubble machine in the child's hand could no longer blow bubbles that he pulled Xiaoxi to continue walking.

There is a convenience store not far from the entrance of the community. The convenience store not only sells daily groceries, but also fruits and vegetables.

Lin Guzhi bought some pork, eggs, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar here, and then bought a few steamed buns and cakes.

Turning his head, he suddenly saw a pile of toys at the door of the convenience store. There was a long tube hanging on the door handle, and the tube was filled with thin, translucent plastic tubes in green, yellow and pink. The plastic tubes were filled with transparent liquid, which was cheap but attractive.

Lin Guzhi pulled out a pink plastic tube and paid for it along with the other things.

When he left, he stuffed the plastic tube into Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Xiaoxi, take it."

Xiaoxi looked at the thing in her hand curiously, feeling a little confused.

Lin Guzhi said: "This can also blow bubbles."

So on the way back, Xiaoxi held the thin plastic tube tightly in her hand.
