[Future] Living with space is better

Chapter 5 Debt and Adoption

"Are you serious, do you want to adopt me?" After greeting the kind old man, he expressed his gratitude with long and confusing words.Facing the old man with a kind face, Li Xi was a little surprised. He thought that since this man had already guessed his identity, he should try his best to dispel it. Unexpectedly, the old man chose to adopt him.

At any time, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Only powerful people will ignore the rules. Li Xi hesitated when he thought of this.Listening to the old man's wish to let him die in retirement, Li Xi was silent for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.If the old man really just wanted to fuck, he wouldn't be worth taking such a big risk.

"Perhaps you don't know, I'm a child of the Lin family, ranked fifth in Tianlong City's wealth list... the current head of the Lin family, Lin Shuopeng, who is now the third, is the only son of Lin Qin's only son, Lin Xi, who was just abandoned by the family today. . . . Maybe you'll get in trouble for adopting me."

Instead of being disappointed after getting hope, it is better to say it from the beginning, anyway, he has nothing now, and his identity is not a bargaining chip.There are many brochures of the Lin family about betraying the family or being abandoned by the family, most of which are for the talented and intelligent children adopted by the family.Lin Xi turned over once by accident, so he knew very well what happened to those people.

Some of them were misplaced in the booklets in the utility room, which contained the stories of several young masters who were abandoned by the family—the hopeless waiting of not being able to let go of their identities, and the desire to maintain their identities even when they were hungry Decent, but ended up dying young and depressed; the story almost always develops like this.

And he, Li Xi, would not have any expectations of the Lin family, study hard with the stupid idea of ​​success, and when he succeeds, the Lin family will shed a few crocodile tears, and play the family card for free for a lifetime.

He is willing to change that noble surname, truly and forever, to give up the inheritance rights of the Lin family.

I said it clearly, but I didn't want to hurt others.

"It's so rare that you are willing to say it." The old man smiled instead, and said: "Generally, children as old as you can't see clearly. I didn't expect to be seen through by someone who was disgusted because of poor qualifications... "

"It seems that I was really wrong." He lowered his head and muttered to himself, then shook his head: "Is there anyone here who doesn't have eight eyes? Son, don't worry, you... oh, your The family will not trouble you again, Lin Xi, right? You can live here with peace of mind. You, would you like to change your surname?"

It seems that this old man is also aware of this point. Abandoned children are not even qualified to be monitored.Li Xi wrinkled his face pretending to be distressed, and replied: "Thank you, Grandpa, but I really don't want to cause you trouble. I am worried that they have done something on my terminal that will make me unable to turn around forever." .”

Knowing that the Lin family would not waste this resource on testing, Li Xi answered with a sense of recklessness.Wisdom is a monster. He is only 11 years old now, and he can only show his wisdom while showing the recklessness, innocence and cynicism that this age should have.After all, children discarded by the family are defective products.

He doesn't want to pretend, but in this kind of place, not pretending means being different...and being different always brings bad effects.He is not a novice, he has been poisoned by novels, and he thinks that the aura of pig feet is full, and if he does anything that is not in line with common sense, he will be regarded as super intelligent. bye.

It's just fiction after all, and it's ridiculous for people to take it seriously.He never thought that he would be much superior to others, just like now, his uneasiness is not all pretended, a large part of it is the fear of being seen through.It just doesn't show on the face.

"Very frank... This is not a good quality in the E area." Old man Li sighed secretly, no wonder he was abandoned for being so innocent, and said comfortingly: "When you are treating your body, your stomach seems to be empty. Don't want to eat something first? When you are full, I will take you to the security management center to register."

"Is it really possible? Are you really willing to be my family?" Li Xi's tone was a little excited. He didn't know if he was really looking forward to it, but he just grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Thank you ,grandfather!"

"You've been called Grandpa and you've made it look so strange? Remember, Grandpa's name is Li Yanjun." Old man Li joked, smiling and stroking Li Xi's head.In fact, he wanted to do this action just now, and he held back because he was afraid that Li Xi would be disgusted. Now he looked at the child with bright eyes and a cute face, and he felt extremely relieved in his heart.

He took the child to visit the whole house, and explained his plan in detail. First, fill his stomach, and then go to the safety management center to go through the adoption procedures. After the procedures are completed, he will go to the second-hand furniture city to buy a separate small bed for Li Xi. Behind them are clothing stores and school supplies stores. You can buy second-hand ones in the front, but you must buy new ones in the back.

It turned out to be from our own family, I didn't expect it to be so fateful.Following old man Li's nagging, Li Xi also looked forward to...

After old man Li finished talking, Li Xi obediently waited for dinner at the table.At this time, people are really more and more able to save space. A set of foldable tables and chairs only takes up the weight of two or three magazines when folded; Rust, proving that things have gone into history.

When waiting for old man Li to serve the meal, Li Xi shouted in his heart that he couldn't accept it.At this time, his mood has stabilized, and his thoughts are inevitably a little naive.

Seeing Li Xi's surprised expression, old man Li was even more happy and mistook it for his surprise at new things.

Cough, in fact, anyone who has been immersed in the 21st century for many years will probably be disappointed when he sees the things in the bowl on the table.In fact, it is just a bowl of ordinary, round... glutinous rice balls.

Li Xi stirred the soup with a spoon, first smelled it, then seriously took a sip of the soup, tasted the taste, and then began to eliminate them one by one.It doesn't take much time, that is, 3 minutes, to eat the whole bowl of glutinous rice balls.

"I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it, but now it seems that Xiaoxi is adapting very well." Old man Li said with praise, feeling distressed in his heart, and poured about half of the amount in his bowl into Li Xi's. Wan Li: "The old man's stomach is not feeling well, how about Xiao Xi helping share some?"

Li Xi was struggling right now. To his mental body, the taste of this food was not good at all or even a little strange. Send him joyful emotions.This state of disparity between the two phases made him tangled up and didn't know what to do.He was still worried about whether to grit his teeth and eat it, but who knew that it was the stomach that was in charge, and swept away the food all at once.

This contrast made him blush a little bit ashamed.

Unexpectedly, just staring at the empty bowl for a while, the bowl began to fill up again.

"Grandpa, you don't have to do this, save the good things and eat slowly, I'm already full." The corners of his eyes were moist, and Li Xi suddenly felt that he was extremely sentimental.He pushed the bowl over and patted his stomach to show that he was full.

Seeing that Li Xi kept his mouth shut and refused to eat, old man Li was relieved but also moved. He slowly fed the food into his mouth and nodded in his heart involuntarily.

……

"What, 120 million in debt?" After lunch, the father and son rushed to the security management center with great enthusiasm, but were reminded by the staff that their credit value was 43 points and they owed 120 million in debt, which must be paid off within ten years. Otherwise, not only will the credit value not be restored, they will be imprisoned for one year by the state and have a criminal record, and they will also lose their citizenship qualifications and become real black households and be expelled to affiliated towns.

In this case, if the guardian is transferred, the subsequent guardian must pay off the debt for him within five years, otherwise the guardian will be imprisoned for one and a half years.

"Can I find out how these are spent?"

Sure enough, there really is a back trick!This is to make him unable to get up for the rest of his life!Even though his teeth collided and gritted, Li Xi forced himself to remain calm and asked the staff a question.Even if he died, he still had to know exactly how he died. He was different from Lin Xi who had no resentment towards the Lin family.

“当然可以，消费记录是2431年5月19日下午3点24分，购买的是最新款的BW-0891X模拟战斗机。”工作人员态度良好，很快就把李曦想要知道的资料调阅出来推给李曦看。光脑设置的自动阅读模式已经将内容阅读了出来。

"The current binding user is Lin Xi." She opened another window, and there was only a single line on it, which read "User: Lin Xi".

"Can't I check the photos?" May 5th was the third day after Lin Qin's death.Li Xi felt a little cold in his heart. The name of the main department of the Lin family is not allowed to have the same pronunciation. He has already called Xi, so how could there be another Lin Xi?unless……

Unless the Lin family's purpose is to replace the concept by stealing the beam.

"Sorry, I can't access it because of insufficient permissions. Do you have anything else to ask?" The voice quality of the staff is very beautiful, even when apologizing, it makes people feel pleasing to the eye.No matter how angry he was originally, he probably wouldn't be able to vent it here.

Li Xi was not a person who would get angry at will, so he stood aside and thought casually after thanking him.Now his head is spinning so fast, why can't he think of who that "Lin Xi" is?The Lin family has adopted three highly qualified children over the years. One of them had awakened his supernatural ability at the age of 9. Lin Xi had a very good relationship with him when he was in the Lin family... That person's name should be Zhang Zhining .

A Chinese pureblood who originally lived in District D of Wangbei City, a third-tier city.

This kind of thing probably wasn't done by the old man, he wasn't that petty.As for whether he is from the same generation as Lin Qin or from Tang's generation, this is still open to debate.

"Grandpa, do you see?" Li Xi sighed, the Lin family cut him off so easily, he is really desperate now.

"It's okay, I believe Xiaoxi, you are a good boy, can we pay off this debt together?" This is what it means to be willing to open an account.

"I..." The other party should give up!What made him believe in himself so much?When Li Xi didn't know what to say, he was dragged by old man Li to the counter to confirm the adoption procedures.Because the Lin family had completely given up on it, the adoption procedures went very smoothly.

"The formalities have been completed. In the future, the debt repayment can be operated at home with an optical brain. I wish you a happy life!" Looking at the work and waving goodbye to them, Li Xi also waved habitually, and glanced at the pendant hanging around his neck There is also a feeling of discomfort.

"Aren't you used to it? I guess it's easier to adapt to the same style as before. If Xiaoxi doesn't like it, can I change it when I become an adult?" Old man Li was using the watch-type optical computer on his wrist to confirm the route, but saw Li Xi Holding the pendant with a look of unaccustomed expression, thinking about Li Xi's indecisiveness when choosing at the time, he felt that it was probably a child's heart that wanted to change to a more cute style, so he coaxed.

"Grandpa, I'm not..." Li Xi came back to his senses and heard these words, he couldn't laugh or cry. When he was 11 years old, he really liked those fancy things. When he got his mobile phone, he couldn't wait for the latest model every day. That's good.Now that he has grown up, the appearance of these things with similar functions is irrelevant to him, as long as they are useful.

It’s rare that there are so many options for personal terminal optical brains. Li Xi thought of the most extensive watches, the most popular brooches and headgear jewelry for women, as well as rings, anklets, and pendants, and his mind became more vivid. , everyone has a love of beauty, he just appreciates it, but he didn't expect his grandpa to notice it.

Feeling the small mark on his neck from wearing the pendant all the year round, Li Xi said, "I'm just thinking about how to pay off the debt."

"Grandpa," he said, "let's go to the second-hand mall. The things there are much cheaper and the quality is not bad."

Although the second-hand mall is called a second-hand mall, of course it is impossible to only have second-hand goods in it, and there are also substandard products produced by some manufacturers.These defective products cannot pass the national verification standards, and can only be sold in this way; the price is slightly higher than the second-hand ones, but the quality is still quite guaranteed.It is said that the black market in some cities is also hidden in second-hand malls.

Li Xi would know this, and it was written in the miscellaneous notes of the free book "Teaching You How to Live" on the optical brain.

"Xiaoxi knows so much!" Old man Li said in amazement.

"If your physical fitness is not good, you can only work hard in other places. My father said that reading more books can make people understand the truth, so I read books every day. If I read a lot, it will naturally become complicated. This is in Huaxia Zongheng Literature Network Xiao Xi remembers what she saw in the book "Teaching You How to Live"." Li Xi didn't want to cause misunderstanding, so she said it proudly.

After the old man finished speaking, he also blamed himself for being overwhelmed. After hearing Li Xi's well-behaved explanation, he stroked Li Xi's head to express his encouragement, and then turned to the second-hand mall.Since this child is so sensible, why not fulfill his wish?No matter what, he would have to live in such a place for at least seven years, and it would be better if he had more contact with the real world.

With such a mood in mind, old man Li took Li Xi to buy daily necessities and other things, and then led him to find the way, and then brought Li Xi who was a little tired back home.

"Xiao Xi, are you happy today?" Old man Li packed up the newly bought things, neatly arranged them, and took two sets of newly bought clothes and handed them to Li Xi, "From now on, your surname will be Oh, Li Li, this is your home. Take a shower and sleep well, and you can go to school the day after tomorrow."

"Go to school?" It felt like 10 years had passed, and Li Xi couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard the familiar vocabulary again; but thinking of the burden of studying, he restrained his smile and replaced it with worry.

Before he came here, Huaxia implemented a policy of no tuition fees for high school in some difficult areas.Here, time has progressed, technology has advanced, and the cost of learning has also increased. The tuition fees of private schools in District E are cheap, but I'm afraid I can't learn much, so I can only get a diploma.If you go to a public school... the tuition is a heavy burden.

"Children should be happy every day. Adults are enough for these things. Grandpa will find a way." Old man Li said with a smile, told Li Xi to take a good bath and go to bed early, and left Li Xi's room.

"How can you stay there with peace of mind?" Li Xi sighed. It is said that that kind of fighter jet is a product that is in short supply at the moment, and it will be sold out as soon as it arrives.Because it is so popular, it not only restricts the conditions of buyers, but also restricts one person to only buy one.That time happened to be the time when that kind of machine arrived for the second time, and no one believed that the family had premeditated it.

The debts he bears must be repaid by himself, and it is not a gentleman's work to make the elderly suffer.Li Xi looked at the room with a size of 6 or 7 square meters, feeling a little uncomfortable.The houses here are all so small, including the living room outside, the total area is only [-] square meters.

"It would be great if there is a legitimate reason to take out the things in the space." Li Xi, who was tidied up, lay on the bed and looked at his wrist, and the light-colored patterns on it appeared and disappeared.After thinking about it, he still took off the pendant around his neck and wrapped it around his wrist again and again, then fixed it with brown silk, "The black market seems to be the best choice."
