The next morning.

His biological clock woke Huang Tao up at 5 o'clock sharp.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the sound of "drizzle" rain.

He turned his head and looked out the nearby window, where raindrops the size of beans were tapping against the window, and drops of water were sliding down the glass.

Sigh!

Why did it start raining all of a sudden?

Just when he was about to complete the task of making preserved egg and lean meat porridge early today, it started to rain at this critical moment.

It's really not heaven's will to help him!

Sigh!

It seems that this task will have to be postponed to tomorrow.

However, what worries him most is Xuanxuan.

As the saying goes, "an autumn rain brings a chill," in this kind of weather, it's easy to catch a cold if you're not careful.

Exactly!

He was worried that taking Xuanxuan out in this weather, so early, might lead her to catch a cold.

If only he had a car!

With a car, there would be no fear of Xuanxuan being exposed to sun or rain.

She could sit in the car, and whether cold or hot, the temperature could be adjusted with an air conditioner.

But the problem is, he now only has a Yadi, not a BYD...

That's really awkward!

Oh well!

I have to earn money first!

With money, you can have any 'Di'!

However, barring any surprises, by the end of this month, he should be able to happily welcome a new car.

He turned his head to look at Xuanxuan with a face of helplessness and conflict, finding that the little one was already awake, rubbing her sleepy eyes!

She said in a soft voice, "Daddy, I had a dream, I dreamt it was raining..."

Haha!

The little one must have mistaken the sound of rain for a dream!

Huang Tao helped Xuanxuan adjust her hair, teasing her, "Xuanxuan's dream came true, look, it's really raining outside!"

Ah!

Xuanxuan was quite upset, she didn't expect her dream to come true.

Honestly.

She doesn't like rain, rainy days mean having to stay in the classroom and no outdoor activities.

Is it too late to regret having this dream now?

Huang Tao sat up, dressing while saying, "Xuanxuan, how about you keep sleeping at home until after 7, then Dad will take you to the shop tomorrow morning, okay?"

"No, no! I want to be with Dad, I'll keep Dad company!" She clung to Huang Tao's shirt, launching her coquettish offensive.

Who could resist this?

In any case, Huang Tao couldn't!

He helplessly pinched Xuanxuan's soft cheeks: "Alright, I'll take you with me!"

"Hehe, Dad is the best!"

"Quick, get dressed, brush your teeth, wash your face, we'll be heading out in a bit."

Huang Tao found her a thicker long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans to wear.

Xuanxuan obediently went into the bathroom to wash up.

Very soon!

Father and daughter both got ready.

Before heading out the door, Huang Tao found a little denim jacket for Xuanxuan to wear and threw a pink Peppa Pig raincoat over her, along with pink Peppa Pig rain boots.

Ensuring she wouldn't get wet or catch cold!

"Mimi, we're leaving..."

She bent down to pick up Mimi, beaming happily with affection.

The big one, the little one, and the cat went downstairs.

Looking at the incessant rain.

Huang Tao silently complained in his heart: Today's rain is as heavy as the day Yiping asked her dad for money!

He lifted Xuanxuan onto the electric bike, put on her safety helmet, armed himself, and took her out into the wind and rain, leaving the community.

Just out of the community, a series of "beep beep beep" horn sounds alongside an uncertain call, reached his ears: "Boss Huang?"

Huang Tao, helmeted and clad in a raincoat: ???

Even all geared up like this, someone still recognized him.

He stopped the electric bike, raised the visor of his helmet curiously, and looked sideways in response to the voice. A taxi had stopped beside him, and it was driven by his old customer... Yang Zhi.

"Boss Huang, it really is you?" Yang Zhi expressed pleasantly after recognizing Huang Tao's face: "Are you heading to the shop?"

"Yes!"

Yang Zhi, looking at the fully geared-up father and daughter, worriedly said, "The rain is so heavy, riding an electric bike with a child, it's really inconvenient! Quickly get in, I'll take you to the shop."

"No need, it's not far, I'll be there shortly." Huang Tao declined politely, a bit embarrassed.

"Boss Huang, don't be so polite! Look, the rain is so heavy, what if the child gets soaked?"

Speaking of the child, Huang Tao couldn't refuse anymore.

He parked the electric bike at the community entrance, locked it, then carried Xuanxuan into the car, took off her raincoat and placed it in the bag, tidied her jacket, and thanked Yang Zhi: "Thank you, sorry to trouble you."

"Thank you, uncle..." Xuanxuan smiled sweetly.

"It's just on the way, no need to thank!" Yang Zhi chuckled cheerfully.

With a tap on the gas pedal, they headed towards West City Old Street.

However, not far off, Xuanxuan sat by the window, peering out at the raindrops hitting the glass, and saw a woman on a bike by the roadside, who suddenly lost her balance, possibly due to the slippery road, and tumbled to the ground along with her bike.

Xuanxuan shouted anxiously, "Daddy, there's an auntie who fell over there..."

Huang Tao looked in the direction Xuanxuan indicated and called to Yang Zhi: "Yang Zhi, please stop the car."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi immediately stopped the car.

"Xuanxuan, stay in the car, don't move, Dad will go take a look."

"Let me go, you stay with Xuanxuan."

Without waiting for a response, Yang Zhi opened the umbrella and got out of the car to check.

He saw the woman supporting herself with her hands, trying to get up.

While asking her about her condition, he helped her up: "Are you okay? Can you stand? If you can stand, I'll help you up slowly."

"I can stand, thank you..." Ding Suqin expressed gratitude.

Once she stood up, Yang Zhi went to pick up her electric bike.

Seeing there was a small scrape on her wrist, he worriedly asked, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No need, I'm fine."

"Where do you live? Let me take you home!"

"I'm not going home, I'm heading to the labor market."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

"No, no need..."

"No charge! It's free."

Without waiting for her to refuse, Yang Zhi hoisted her electric bike into the taxi's trunk.

Ding Suqin had no choice but to follow him into the car. Seeing there were others inside, she smiled embarrassedly, nodded to greet Huang Tao and his daughter, and apologized: "Sorry for delaying you."

"No problem! It's not a delay." Huang Tao handed her some tissues, asked concernedly: "Are you okay, any injuries?"

Xuanxuan blinked her big eyes, worriedly asked: "Auntie, why did you fall? Was it because the road was slippery? Did it hurt?"

"Auntie is fine, it's just the road was a bit slippery, causing the bike to lose balance, leading to the fall, but it's okay." Ding Suqin used the tissue to wipe the rain from her face.

Yang Zhi inquired: "I'll take them to West City Old Street first, then drop you at the labor market, is that alright?"

"No problem, I'm not in a rush!"

Curious, Huang Tao asked: "Are you heading to the labor market so early to find a job?"

"Yes."

"The labor market offers jobs that are usually paid daily. Why not find a stable job?" Yang Zhi observed she looked a bit over forty, curiously asked.

"I have no degree, no skills, I'm not young anymore, and my appearance is average, can't get into factories, even applying as a waitress I've been politely rejected, so I can only look for some temporary work." Ding Suqin sighed helplessly: "Oh well! Taking one step at a time..."

If life wasn't forcing her, who would choose to live like this!
