Chapter 2: Slum days

　　On the way home, Jin Xiantai passed by a Chinese-owned [Dahua 99] supermarket and bought a box of ten chicken drumsticks and a can of baby milk powder.
　　 A box of ten chicken drumsticks is 2.99 yuan, and baby milk powder is 9.99 yuan. This price is really not expensive, at least after Jin Xiantai's heart compares with the original China price in time and space, it is not expensive at all.
　　 Originally, Jin Xiantai wanted to buy a few boxes of discounted beef, but he finally gave up. Although he is very greedy now, and the beef in the supermarket is not expensive, he still did not let himself spend more.
　　 Twenty minutes after leaving the supermarket, Jin Xiantai took his daughter back to the rented place.
The place where Jin Xiantai rented is located on the outer edge of the Chinese community in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles. This place is bordered by the poor communities of African and Mexican descents. The three parties are only separated by a road. Similarly, this place belongs to the poor Chinese people. Place, so the law and order is not very good.
　　The houses in this community are not the kind of townhouses, or single-family buildings, or the kind of villa houses with independent styles. They are all flat houses built with simple materials.
　　The main reason for choosing this place is that Kim Hyun-tae is not financially rich. Of course he would not live here with his daughter if he could. He also hopes to take his daughter to live in those so-called white communities, or good communities like Monica Beach, or even places like Beverly Hills.
　　 But the economic conditions are here, he really can't do this.
　　In this community, after night falls, drug dealers in African and Mexican communities, as well as various types of criminals, have begun to appear.
　　 Gunfight! robbery! Fights and fights are often seen here. Even several of Jin Xiantai’s neighbors have encountered such things. They were robbed of money by Lao Hei or Lao Mo at night, and some people were even stabbed by a knife. People have been shot...
　　 So Kim Hyun-tae knows that in this place, sometimes killing people for five dollars is not surprising.
　　 So, for this place, Jin Hyun Tae can be said to be deeply disgusted, but he does not have enough financial conditions to take his daughter out of this chaotic community, so he and his daughter can only bite their teeth and insist on living here.
The land rented by Jin Xiantai is owned by the landlord. It is a one-bedroom, one-living and one-bathroom house built with simple materials. The monthly rent is US$600. The price is relatively cheap. This is the reason why Jin Xiantai chose this place in the first place. Ignore the security issues in this community.
But at the time, Kim Hyun-tae couldn’t be faulty about it, because Kim Hyun-tae didn’t rent here, so he could only live with his daughter on the street. Then, obviously he could not take his daughter to sleep on the street, so he could only hold his nose. Here.
After returning home, Kim Hyun-tae, who started to be busy, opened up the newly bought milk powder and brewed it for her daughter, and then handed it to her daughter who started to be restless after seeing that she was making milk powder, so that her attention was focused. On the bottle, then I have time to start busy preparing dinner for myself.
　　 Being a father and a mother is really tiring, both mentally and physically.
　　 Fortunately, my daughter didn't know if it was due to the mysterious energy magnetic field in the space-time tunnel. Since coming to this space-time, the little guy's body is great, he has never been sick at all, and his mental head is also very good.
　　 This is also the biggest reason why the little guy can be carried behind his back and work under the scorching sun.
　　 This can be regarded as an advantage after ‘crossing’ that can satisfy Kim Hyun Tae.
　　 Jin Xiantai’s dinner is very simple. Two chicken drumsticks are boiled in water and salt, and a pot of white rice is stuffed with Lao Gan Ma. That’s it.
　　 In this time-space Chinese American supermarket, Laoganma chili sauce can be bought, which is an invisible comfort for Jin Xiantai.
　　 Finished a simple dinner at a very fast speed. After I cleaned it up, I saw that half of the milk in her daughter's bottle was not finished, so Jin Xiantai went to the bathroom and took a simple wash.
　　 Before my daughter's milk was finished, she was very quiet, so Jin Xiantai must make good use of this time period.
　　 took a quick shower and washed away the sweat stains after a hard day. Kim Hyun-tae went to the living room and looked at the old-fashioned wall clock hanging on the wall. It was already 5 minutes past 18 o'clock in the evening.
　　 walked to the crib where the daughter was. At this time, the daughter had just finished drinking the milk in the bottle. Jin Xiantai gently picked up her daughter and began to gently pat her back to help her burp her milk.
　　 I have to say that after my daughter got smaller, everything had to be done again.
　　 The little guy who was held in Jin Xiantai's arms seemed very happy, always raising his little arms, wanting to hug his father.
　　 It's a pity that I changed back to a baby again, and now a little guy who is only half a year old can no longer do something like a year and a half.
　　 And for such a change, the little guy is obviously incomprehensible, so the little guy who has encountered constant failures seems a little impatient and starts kicking around to express his dissatisfaction.
　　 "It's still hello, at an age who doesn't understand anything, you can live a carefree life. Pity your father, I am now a father and a mother, taking care of you and at the same time making money."
　　 Seeing her daughter's anger, Kim Hyun-tae groaned at her dumbfoundedly.
　　 It's a pity that the little guy didn't understand at all, so he could only look at Kim Hyun Tae with a puzzled look when he finished speaking.
　　 It's getting late, Jin Xiantai can't continue to delay, he must leave home with his daughter as soon as possible and go to the second place to work.
Kim Hyun-tae’s second job takes 15 minutes to ride a bicycle. It is located in a Chinese restaurant in Rowland Heights. His main job is to wash dishes. The time is from 19:00 to 24:00 for a total of five hours, 8.5 hours per hour. The yuan salary is much higher than the 5 yuan hourly salary at the car wash.
And Kim Hyun-tae can earn 42.5 yuan in these five hours, more than 1,000 in a month, plus the 48 yuan that he gets for eight hours a day at the car wash, and Kim Hyun-tae can earn two jobs in a month. Thousands of five to six hundred yuan, this income can fully afford the rent, water and electricity, and all kinds of expenses for yourself and your children, and you can even save some if you have a plan.
　　 Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae now attaches great importance to both jobs.
　　 After comforting her daughter and letting the little guy stop playing tricks, Kim Hyun-tae changed her daughter's diapers, then prepared a black backpack and carried it on her chest, then carried her daughter into the baby carrier and carried it behind her back.
　　The black backpack is basically the daughter’s supplies, such as diapers, brewed baby bottles, and wet tissues.
　　 After all, with his daughter working, the little guy will have some unexpected situations. These things can be used, and they can be prepared for emergencies.
　　Everything was prepared, Kim Hyun-tae left home with his daughter on his back and started to go to the part-time job site of the second job. Of course, the transportation used was the second-hand bicycle he bought.
When the father and daughter went out, the night had fallen, and the night enveloped Los Angeles. Kim Hyun-tae riding a bicycle, under the dim streetlights, Kim Hyun-tae riding a bicycle and carrying the child on his back looked a little thin, and people could not help but give birth. A trace of pity.
------split line------
　　 The time came to midnight and midnight, dragging a tired body, Jin Xiantai riding his second-hand bicycle, carrying his daughter, appeared on the street corner.
　　 It's the end of another day's work. At this time, my daughter has fallen asleep behind her back.
Under the dim street lights on the corner, a few exposed African-American street girls stood there scratching their heads. When Kim Hyun-tae passed by on a bicycle, one of them put on a seductive posture and called to him a few times. .
　　 Kim Hyun Tae has no interest in these women.
　　 Doesn't it mean that Jin Xiantai is a decent gentleman who does not touch any fishy, ​​after all, he is a normal man, and he will certainly have this physical need.
　　 But for such a woman, Kim Hyun Tae really looks down upon her.
　　 Nima is over forty years old, even if the clothes are exposed no matter how heavy the taste is, they can be patronized.
　　 I have to say here, the taste of "Crooked Nuts" is really heart-warming, which Jin Xiantai admires.
　　Because he has seen many people patronize these middle-aged African-American street girls.
　　 Kim Hyun Tae lives in such an unsafe neighborhood with his children alone. It is very unwise to deal with such a woman. What if he gets into trouble?
　　 Besides, his financial condition does not allow him to do this kind of thing. If he has money, he can save it for accidents, or use it on his daughter as much as possible.
The most important thing is that he will recall his wife’s voice and smile from time to time, as well as the happy family life when his wife was alive, so even if Kim Hyun-tae, as a man with normal physiological reactions, occasionally has some impulses, but Therefore, he will not go out and mess around, but solve it himself.
　　 As for how to solve it, as a guy with a 30-something soul, I think it’s not difficult to come here...
　　 Jin Xiantai always felt that even in this parallel time and space, going out and messing around would be a matter of sorry for his wife.
　　 To put it bluntly, it is in Jin Xiantai's heart that he has not forgotten his wife who has passed away. That's why he keeps'guarding himself like a jade' like this.
　　 But it can also be seen from this point that Kim Hyun Tae is not a ruthless man.
　　 Kim Hyun-tae, who was riding a bicycle, passed by without squinting at a few street girls.
Graffiti-painted corners on both sides of the street, and in the dim and low-light shadows stood a few sturdy men. These men were all blacks of African descent and were huge, as if they were big animals. They were mostly bald, with unkindness and vigilance in his eyes as he watched Jin Xiantai riding by.
　　Like this type of guy, you can often see it on both sides of the community street on the way home.
　　There are African-Americans and bald-headed Mexicans. They are all groups of their own ethnicities, and they stand together on the street in twos and threes.
　　 Jin Xiantai knows that these are drug dealers, and they have guns on their bodies.
In addition to selling drugs here, these guys are also responsible for managing the territory. Once they find that other gangs have crossed the boundaries, then it will definitely lead to a gun battle. Like the original American gangsters in time and space, everyone looks at the boundaries of the territory. Serious, crossing the boundary is an unforgivable provocation.
　　If this happens, there is only one solution...killing!
　　 A street, obviously divided into two gangs by African Americans and Mexican Americans, made Jin Xiantai very uncomfortable.
　　 Nima!
　　 This is the Chinese community, OK!
　　 Even though it is a slum in a Chinese community, Nima is controlled by black blacks and Mexican gangs. What is it all about?
　　 Kim Hyun-tae, who was riding his bicycle, ran past 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart.
　　 Since he has been living here for half a year, after understanding a little bit of the situation, he is really dissatisfied with it.
　　 I have to say, the Chinese here are...really... alas!
　　 But this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, so Kim Hyun-tae thought about it in his own heart, and then left it behind.
　　 After all, he is not a mess, so he can't control so much what the community becomes, even if he manages it, he can't control it.
Back at home, he locked the door, put the sleeping daughter in the crib, and gently covered the quilt, he went to the window and hung the curtains, and at the same time observed the movement outside through the gaps in the curtains .
　　 Recently, due to the frequent appearance of gang members and the deterioration of public security, there have been many cases of robbery.
　　 Kim Hyun Tae had to be careful about this.
　　 After careful observation, after Jin Xiantai made sure that no one was following him, UU was relieved by reading www.uukanshu.com.
"When I go home every day, I have to worry about it. When will I be headed in this kind of life. If I were only Lao Tzu alone, I would not worry about this problem, but now I am taking my daughter with me, so I have to be careful. On this question."
　　 Kim Hyun-tae, who was relaxed, dragged his tired body into the living room, and sat down on the sofa and sighed deeply while talking to himself.
"It doesn't matter, I have to find a way to move out of here anyway. I have to move for my daughter." After sitting on the sofa and taking a few breaths, Jin Xiantai raised his right hand and patted his thigh fiercely. a decision.
　　 My daughter was still asleep. Kim Hyun took off his clothes and took a hot bath. After washing away his exhaustion, he checked the time. It was already more than 1 o'clock in the night.
　　 Well, there is still a little time to do your own things. The work in the car wash is 8 o'clock in the morning.
　　 After confirming the time, Kim Hyun-tae had a good idea, and then he took a dilapidated laptop from the bedroom, and sat on the sofa in the living room again, and placed the laptop on the coffee table in front of him.
"Daughter, daughter, your father, I am working very hard to give you a good growth environment and better living conditions. If it were in the original time and space, I might not have such ambitions, but In this time and space...hehe..."
　　 Kim Hyun Tae turned on the computer, while waiting for the computer to turn on, he kept muttering something, and the reflection on the computer screen reflected on Kim Hyun Tae's face, making his expression look so strange...
