Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 106 Baby can also make money to support dad

The next day, Jing Xiaoyu found the location of the garbage area with a detailed list of recyclables picked up from the recycling site.

Looking around, polluted dust and phosphorus are floating, the sky is filled with strange green mist, garbage and waste are piled up into mountains, and a broken oil film is winding among the "continuous hills", seeping out like a river.

Fortunately, mermaids have their own purification system, and the polluted dust and mist are blocked outside by the mermaid cubs' self-protection function and cannot enter their bodies.

On the way here, Jing Xiaoyu specially studied the price list on the recycling list and knew that metal materials had the highest price, so he specifically found the scrap pile buried in the soil, rolled up his sleeves, used his fish tail and began to dig.

Soon, Jing Xiaoyu turned over a row of crushed and twisted processor slots. The outside was corroded beyond recognition, but the screws inside had not deteriorated.

Jing Xiaoyu found something next to the pile of earth and made a tool.

After all, when he was with his father, he learned to assemble complex small battleship models. A small, old-fashioned processor like this one would not be a problem for Jing Xiaoyu at all.

Soon, Jing Xiaoyu completely disassembled the processor, which was originally twisted beyond recognition, and took out the screws inside.

The metal materials here are rare, and screws can be exchanged for star coins.

Jing Xiaoyu installed the screws and continued to dig the hole and pick up the trash.

Until before dark, Jing Xiaoyu diligently picked up a sack of recyclable waste and carried it all the way back to his father's place, just in time to catch up with his father driving back after finishing his work.

Lu Lianbai had just gotten off the motorcycle and saw the scene in front of him. His feet seemed to be nailed to the spot. He lowered his head and stared at the little guy who appeared at the door. His usually calm face seemed to be torn open.

Jing Xiaoyu carried a sack that was bigger and heavier than he was and dragged it to his feet.

The cub's face was dusty, with bits of paper stuck to its ear fins. It had been busy in the garbage area all day, and now, after finally unloading the sack, it raised its little hand and wiped the tip of its nose with great effort, telling Lu Lianbai -

"Dad, these can be taken to the recycling plant and exchanged for star coins. You can make a lot of money."

Seeing Lu Lianbai still staring at his little face without saying a word, Jing Xiaoyu thought his father had other concerns. After thinking for a while, he said to him seriously, "Don't worry, Dad. I won't be a burden to you. I don't need to drink milk powder now, and I don't eat much. It won't cost a few star coins. Baby can also earn money to support Dad."

"dad?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, I'll take the things in the sack and exchange them for money—"

As Jing Xiaoyu said this, he used all his strength to pick up the sack again.

He looked stubborn as if he was going to carry the sacks to the recycling yard to exchange them for money to prove to his father that he had the ability to make money.

Just as he was about to pick up the sack, Jing Xiaoyu suddenly felt his hand lighten. Puzzled, he raised his head and saw the sack being carried over by his father's gloved hands.

Lu Lianbai carried his sack, opened the iron gate and went in.

Jing Xiaoyu realized something and quickly followed in.

He looked around curiously at the place where his father lived now. Although it was small and there was not much furniture, it was cleaned and tidied by his father.

Jing Xiaoyu secretly measured the size of the bed and felt that he could still find a small space for him to sleep in. Once he was sure of the important point of having a place to sleep, Jing Xiaoyu suddenly felt that everything else was no longer a problem.

When he turned around, he found that his father had just brought the sack in and went to the bathroom. Jing Xiaoyu followed the sound of water and went there.

He saw his father standing with his back to him, head down, next to the faucet on the cement bricks. He washed his hands that were stained with black oil and put a basin of clean water into the washbasin.

Then, he brought out the basin of water.

Jing Xiaoyu followed closely behind his father, watching his father put the basin of water on the table and go get a stool. Jing Xiaoyu wanted to help move the stool, but found that the only stool in the room was the one in his father's hand, so he had to give up regretfully.

Lu Lianbai placed a stool in front of Jing Xiaoyu. Jing Xiaoyu immediately realized that the stool was for him, and he sat down on it with a grunt.

Seeing his father put a clean towel into the basin, soak it, and wring it out, Jing Xiaoyu reacted and touched his face with his little hand, "Dad, did I get my face dirty?"

Lu Lianbai: "Look up."

Jing Xiaoyu immediately tilted his little face up and closed his eyes to make it easier for his father to wipe his face.

Lu Lianbai took the wrung towel and wiped the cub's dirty face gently and carefully. After wiping it two or three times, he held the cub's two little hands, washed every little finger clean, and wiped them dry.

After a while, the cub's soft little face returned to its snow-white and translucent appearance.

Jing Xiaoyi thought that after washing himself clean, he would go to bed, but his father wiped his schoolbag clean and returned it to him, then walked out.

Seeing this, Jing Xiaoyu followed him out worriedly, carrying his schoolbag. "Dad, where are you going so late?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Xiaoyu was carried onto the motorcycle with one hand. When he reacted, Lu Lianbai had already stepped onto the motorcycle, started the engine and drove away.

After driving out of the slums, Lu Lianbai stopped the car on the side of the road in the more prosperous central area and said, "Wait here."

Jing Xiaoyu faced the strong wind and hugged the tattered front of the car obediently, "I know, Dad."

Lu Lianbai walked to a store on the street, looked through the expensive cabinets, and used the little money left in his pocket to buy the most expensive bottle of milk.

After paying the bill, Lu Lianbai saw Jing Xiaoyu still sitting obediently on the scooter. His cold and calm eyes moved slightly. He walked over and handed over the bottle of milk in his hand.

Jing Xiaoyu happily hugged the bottle, but then realized something belatedly. He hesitantly raised his head and asked, "Dad, this is expensive, right?"

Jing Xiaoyu was so smart that he could tell that this place was so far away from where his father lived, and the milk bottle packaging was so beautiful, it was completely different from the low-quality milk on the shelves of small shops in the slums.

He thought about his father working so hard at the docks and yet he still bought him such expensive milk. He immediately bit his lip and returned the bottle of milk. "Dad, you can return it. I'm not hungry."

The next second, Lu Lianbai took the bottle of milk, unscrewed the cap without saying a word, and handed it to the little cub again, "Drink it."

Now, even though Jing Xiaoyu was reluctant to give it up, he could only hold the bottle obediently and drink it in small sips, for fear of wasting it.
