"I used to work on construction sites. Salaries have gone up very fast in recent years. I can make hundreds of dollars a day. The price of goods also goes up. Food, drinks, and clothing are much more expensive. But because of some things, I'm not here right now. I worked on a construction site, and the contractor introduced me to the auto repair shop. During my years in prison, I wasted no time and learned some skills. The car shop includes food and lodging, and the salary is quite high.”
Su Aobai did not want the dean's mother to worry, so she took the initiative to mention her current job.
"Then you don't have to give me that much."
Hearing that the boy got a reliable job after being released from prison, Dean Ji was just happy One of the issues he had been most worried about all along was finally resolved.
In fact, lately, he had also asked Xiaobai a lot of work.
But due to Su Aobai's low education and criminal record, the, some decent units are willing to hire him Even some private factories prefer an old man in his 60s or 70s guarding the gate than he who has a young man with a case.
Ji's mother was rejected several times with her old face.
This had worried him all along, but it was a pity that Su Aobai did not leave contact information when he came last time, Dean Ji could not contact him at all, and he hasn't slept well at night.
Now that he could finally feel at ease, as long as he had the technology, he would not starve to death anywhere.
"You, you have to work hard. After a long time, the boss will know what kind of person you are. You can earn so much money in the first month, it's amazing."
Dean Ji took the pile of money and wanted to give it back to him. Now he has plenty of places to spend money, and it's fine to stay in the unit all the time. He had to save more and buy a house. Only then could he truly calm down.
Naturally, Su Aobai would not get his money back.
"Keep it, thank you for raising that child for so many years."
Su Aobai could not do anything to love that little girl named Yixing, but she knew in her heart that because she did not stop him from coming to this world when he could get rid of her, it had already become a living life, in the least he had to try his best to get rid of it.The responsibility of compulsory education is up to eighteen years.
"It doesn't cost much."
Dean Ji shook his head, still unwilling to accept the money.
"You'd better save the money, buy a house, and take Yixing to live with."
He still chatted about this topic without giving up.
Su Aobai's facial expression suddenly became much colder, making Dean Ji feel annoyed.
"I don't understand what you're talking about! Is Ji Xing's death what we all want to see? Did Yi Xing expect him to be born without a mother? It was nobody's fault, let alone the kid's fault!"
Dean Ji even wondered if there was a problem with their education that made Su Aobai blame the death of the mother on her children.
Ji Xing was also her child who was raised. Wasn't he sad and sorry? But they have to distinguish right from wrong. In that case, Yi Xing was also innocent. She had no mother since she was a child. The poor?
"I know you love her, and she's better with you than with me."
Su Aobai stood up and was about to leave Due to the need for a perpetual debate on this topic, standing in different positions and knowing the truth differently, how it was possible to discuss right or wrong.
"You can keep the money. I am also a child raised in this orphanage. I'll send you living expenses every month in the future. Except for the child, the rest will be given to the children in the garden as a supplement. ."
After speaking, he turned around and left.
Dean Ji sat on a chair, took a deep breath, and stood up.
"At least take it back."
He took out a small wad of money, about one or two thousand dollars.
"You should always have money in your hands. Don't just eat fast food provided by the unit, occasionally eat something nice, and see how skinny you are."
Dean Ji looked at his thinner body than when he had just been released from prison, his eyes slightly red.
Although she still could not understand Su Aobai's feelings towards her daughter, since she hated the child so much, she couldn't force him to pick her up, it would be bad for her father and daughter.
"Buy an electric razor to shave your beard, and buy some more energetic clothes, just, just ... Don't worry Ji Xing, he definitely doesn't want to see you like this, just yet."
Mother Ji looked at the cut edge of Su Aobai's chin. This kid must've bought a cheap razor for shaving. In fact, electric razors are not expensive now. Buying one can last a long time, so there is no need to save money .
This time, Su Aobai did not refuse the money he offered.

While leaving the dean's office and passing through the front yard of the orphanage, Su Aobai saw children playing in the courtyard.
In recent years, more and more people are concerned, and the economic situation of orphanages has improved considerably compared to before.
Su Aobai recalled that when Yuanshen was a child, there was a large hole dug by the staff of the orphanage in the front yard, and it was filled with sand that they brought from the sea with cars.The sand pit was their only big toy.
Now the gosong is still there, but more swings, seesaws and slides in the yard, lots of clean-dressed kids playing in the front yard.
Some eight or nine year olds are also responsible for babysitting their younger siblings when they are not playing.
Su Yixing was standing behind the swing, and a four or five year old girl was sitting on the swing, with her loud thrust, the swing was high, and she was, and the courtyard was filled with the little girl's uncontrollable laughter.
Su Yixing stood behind him, his round almond eyes narrowing into a crescent now, when he smiled, both of his rabbit teeth looked extremely cute.
Su Aobai seemed to see another scene overlapping in a daze.
She and Ji Xing sneaked into the garden. Ji Xing was sitting on a swing, and he was responsible for pushing him backwards. That day Ji Xing wore a dress donated by a caring person. Skirt skirt, with pink tulle in the outermost layer, looks like a little princess. The girls in the orphanage liked it very much. After a discussion, everyone wore them in turns.
It just so happened that it was Ji Xing's turn to wear this dress that day. She wore a beautiful princess dress and sat on the swing. Every time she swung into the air, the tip of her skirt would widen and draw a beautiful bow.
Su Aobai could not see her expression back then, but hearing her laughter, she knew that she must be smiling sweetly.
Su Yixing was a little nervous, she tried her best to stay calm, and she pushed the swing with a certain strength like before, only she knew that her palms were already a little sweaty.
He's stopping...
He still left without looking back ...
Su Yixing's heart instantly fell back into his stomach as he mentioned his throat, he should have relaxed, right? He didn't take her away from the dean's grandmother.

Days pass by day after day like this.
Su Aobai gradually gained a strong foothold in the auto repair shop. He never caused any trouble, and worked honestly. He never keeps his secret when others have car repair problems. His daily relationships gradually made everyone recognize him. As a human being, I no longer looked at him with colored glasses.
In addition to repairing cars, Su Aobai occasionally helped the boss with internships, because with the addition of a skilled repairman like him, the reputation of the auto repair shop in the local area also increased, and as more and more vehicles were sent for repairs Gradually, the idea of expanding the scale and increasing the workforce emerged.
This way, the boss would naturally not cut his salary due to his past criminal record. The base salary was not only raised to the level it should be, but he also added an extra teaching fee for the apprenticeship. Now his monthly salary can also be stable in twenty or thirty thousand dollars.
Due to this pretty good income, colleagues working in the same factory also thought of becoming a matchmaker for her, even though they knew that she had a daughter, they did not mind, she said, but they were all rejected by Su Aobai.
The daily schedule is very stable. She works hard at work, and because she lives in a car repair factory dormitory, she often works the night shift. On the rest day of the week, she always went to the Peacock Mountain Cemetery to chat with Ji Xing Chatting, every month's end, she said, it's the day to visit Ji's mother at the orphanage and send her living expenses.
In addition, it has no other entertainment than used cell phones and TVs in the garage break room.
Not looking for a partner, not going out to play, in the eyes of an outsider, he lived like a hermit monk.
There were also many slandering fellows behind his back, whether he was used to living in prison, and when he came out, he was still living his life the same as when he was in prison.
Not that Su Aobai was indifferent to their discussion, when it came to enjoying and having fun, who could be as proficient as him, but in this world, he was completely incapable of having fun.
Maybe because the heart of this body is dead.
Su Aobai believed that most of the love in this world would slowly turn into family affection, and no matter how strong his emotions were, it would slowly turn into innocence, age, age, the explosion was very strong and sincere.
But like most of love, after more than ten or twenty years, after marriage, having children, raising children, all kinds of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, he said, passion will fade. , and it will turn into a softer but innocent family relationship. .
After that, this relationship suddenly ended at the strongest moment.
All she remembered was Ji Xing's beauty, and only the tragic end of this relationship. In his future, he would be tormented by this futile love day after day, and no one could replace Ji Xing's position in his heart.
Time could heal most of the pain, but the regret, guilt, pain, and deep love left in his heart would only be a scar in time, etched deeply into his chest.
Sometimes, death can really be a relief.
But he cannot die, because he promises to live well, if he cannot do well, at least he must live.
*****
In the next few years, the father and daughter of Su Aobai and Su Yixing had almost never come into contact with each other. Dean Ji did not give up and tried many times. Unfortunately, with the lack of cooperation from the two, all of those efforts failed. Succeeded work.
In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed, Su Yixing celebrated her sixteenth birthday, and officially became a freshman in high school.
A year ago, Dean Ji also retired from the position of orphanage director. He has been delaying his retirement age for several years. Now that he has found an heir who he thinks can take good care of the children, he can rest assured retirement.
She is unmarried, let alone childless, her only relative is her sister's son, but the niece moved abroad with her family decades ago, and once owned a home in her name, she said, which he also sold for an orphanage.
Fortunately she still had a pension fund, after retirement she rented a small two-bedroom apartment in her husband's house, and the rest of the money could still be used to meet daily needs.
Su Yixing was not an orphanage child, and had already reached the age of sixteen. When he retired and left the orphanage, the old woman took him away with her. Speaking of which, because of Su Yixing's special status, there were actually so many children Here, the old woman spent a lot of energy on him, she was the child of her two children, she was the child of her two children, and she's also a little girl who grew up on her own, counted, she's like her own granddaughter.
And Su Yixing was also very close to the old woman, old and young living together, and they could take care of each other.
Today was the opening ceremony of Su Yixing's school, the old woman told Su Aobai early on, but unfortunately the other party had still not shown up on the school day, many years had passed, the relationship between father and daughter shows no signs of breaking up.
Madam Ji was supported by the little girl to school, looking at the parents accompanying the children, she always felt that Yi Xing was very pitiful.
Before the opening ceremony, everyone should go to the classroom to report, right after school starts, the seats in the class are arranged according to the name as they enter the college entrance exam, and the, and the appropriate name is affixed on each table.
Su Yixing is the No.1 student at Yangcheng's No.2 Secondary School this year, and he is placed in the best rocket class at No.2 Secondary School. The seat is in the first row in the middle of the class.
Yangcheng's No.2 Secondary School was not considered the best high school in Yangcheng, but this time it seemed cruel after replacing the headmaster, the, using very high treatment to kidnap seven students from the top ten high schools in the high school this year entrance exam to their school.The three are taken over by Yangcheng No 2 Middle School.
Su Yixing originally wanted to study at No High School. Tuition fees, and monthly canteen subsidies of 800 yuan, if grades in each semester can stabilize in the top three in school, according to the rankings, he can get a bonus of 5,000 to 10,000 yuan.
This money is enough for him to spend three or three years of high school without relying on the living expenses provided by the person, and the bonuses can be saved to prepare for college.
He helped his grandmother to sit down, and then guessed what kind of person would be his dining companion.
If they were ranked by grades, it should be second place in the high school entrance examination, I hope the other party is the student who spent all his time studying Su Yixing frowned, frowning, thinking of some unfriendly memories.
"Hi, I'm Zhu Xining, your dining buddy."
A girl with a graceful temperament stood beside him, and he was not accompanied by his parents.
"Hi, I'm Su Yixing."
Su Yixing raised her smiling face and smiled at everyone, who had become her instinct.
"Is this your grandmother? Hello grandma."
Zhu Xining crouched down, and hugged the old woman excitedly.
This left the old woman a little stunned, but since she had raised too many children, it seemed like she had formed an aura that was easily liked by the juniors, but, so the old woman quickly calmed down, and said with kindness and generosity. He looked at the girl who was holding him with her eyes.
She felt that a little girl who was so warm and close to the old man must have a good character.This time, her family, Yi Xing, could definitely be a good friend.
Zhu Xining only hugged for a moment, and immediately released her hand, she wiped her red eyes.
"Sorry, I think you look a bit like my grandmother, I miss her."
Zhu Xining knew that her actions earlier should have been very sudden and strange in their eyes.
Hearing the reason, Su Yixing immediately felt relieved.
She understood this girl, as she could not imagine her life after grandmother left her.
Because of this similarity, Su Yixing instantly preferred the girl in front of him.If.
