Earth Federation, California, United States of America, in the summer of July, at the junction of the Chinese and African Mexican communities in Los Angeles County, at the corner of Mark Ayer Street, dozens of car washers are sweating and working hard under the scorching sun.

The car wash, called Xinglong, was opened by people who had immigrated to California decades ago.

It used to be a small car wash, but after three generations of hard work, this shop that can only hold 10 cars can now wash 20 cars at the same time, and a large car wash that can accommodate 300 cars.

While the car washers were working hard, from time to time there were cars coming in through the door, and then stopped in the parking lot and waited in line.

The car washers at the Xinglong Car Wash are basically Mexicans, and these people work hard and ask for much less wages than the average person, so most of the service shops in California like to use Mexicans.

You know, if you hire a white or black man, you will have to pay at least $8.5 an hour for a basic salary, but Mexicans only need to pay 6 yuan.

Don't underestimate the $2.5 salary difference, it's a lot of money when you count it all. According to Xinglong Car Wash, there are 20 Mexican car washers here, and each person is paid 2.5 yuan less for an hour, which is 50 yuan, which is only an hour, right?

Car washes are different from general industries, starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 8 p.m., twelve hours are calculated as such, and at least 600 yuan of salary expenses will be saved at the end of the day, which is 18,000 yuan a month, which is definitely not a small amount of money.

In the capitalist country of the United States, anyone who does business will calculate this account, so everyone is willing to use these Mexicans, after all, it can save money, only idiots will not choose.

Moreover, most of these Mexicans are smuggled here and have no status in the United States, so they are all very honest and willing to work hard to make money, so there is no employer who does not like such employees.

Of course, the premise is that you give the salary agreed by both parties according to the verbal agreement, and if you cheat these Mexicans and make things difficult or something, then you will be the one who will be unlucky in the end.

On the California side, the two major gangs of Mexicans are not easy to mess with, the two major gangs of the Southern California Gang and the Family Gang, which are well-known, so most employers will give a full salary of 5 yuan an hour, after all, these Mexicans are really capable of working, so the employer does not lose.

Besides, the salaries these Mexicans are really low, aren't they?

If you deduct something or something, it really can't be said, and when the time comes, these old inkmen who are willing to work honestly and earn salaries will go to the gangsters to support them, and the price they need to pay will not be small.

So, as long as you don't have a brain, you know what to do.

And among the busy figures of these Mexican car washers, there is also a Chinese face, a handsome appearance, and a teenager with a height of about 1.8 meters.

Like those Mexican car washers, the Chinese teenager who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old was also a car washer.

But this Chinese-faced teenager is different from other car washers, because when he is working, he also carries a baby carrier with a child who looks like he is only about half a year old.

All of a sudden, this Chinese teenager became very different from the old Mo workers who worked together, and even seemed a little different.

However, from the side, the reason why this Chinese teenager will work with a half-year-old child is obviously out of helplessness, there must be some hidden secrets in it, but outsiders don't know what this hidden situation is.

Of course, most of the people who work here are bitter black old inks, and everyone is not too interested in exploring the stories of Chinese teenagers.

According to the employer's requirements, the maximum time for car washers to wash a car is 15 minutes, which means that a car cannot be washed in more than 15 minutes, and it is also clean to ensure quality.

Therefore, the car washers are working hard one by one, and the Chinese teenagers are also like the workers, sweating like rain under the scorching sun, and from time to time they need to look back to see if there is a problem with the children behind them.

The poor child had to endure the same hot day as this Chinese teenager, but from the face of the sleeping little baby, it seemed that there was no uncomfortable reaction, but the child slept very sweetly.

Perhaps Xinglong Car Wash has the advantage of geographical location, in short, the customers who come to the car wash are in an endless stream from the moment they open the door, and the car washers are not idle at all.

Kim Hyun Tae rinsed the car in front of him with a water gun, and after quickly flushing the water, he picked up the brush and began to foam, and then began to wash off the foam with a water gun again.

All this work needs to be completed in fifteen minutes, beyond which the employer will not say anything, but the next day it is estimated that you will not have to go to work.

In order to keep his daughter from starving, Kim Hyun-tae will certainly not be lazy, and will complete all the work in fifteen minutes as much as possible, so that the boss and customers can satisfy and ensure that he can make money.

After washing, a Mexican quickly got into the car and drove away, before a second car was pulled in and parked in front of Kim Hyun-tae.

After the car was parked, Kim Hyun-tae began to wash the next car.

This kind of work seems simple, but in fact it is very monotonous and tedious, and at the same time, it is very physically demanding, and ordinary people really can't stick to it.

"Damn alien elementary school student, if it weren't for this guy, how could my daughter and I come to this time and space, how could Lao Tzu be a car washer, Nima's salary for an hour is only 5 yuan and those black workers Lao Mo are the same, if there is a chance, Lao Tzu must go to the Universe Alliance to sue!"

The Chinese teenager who carried the child on his back and repeated the boring work procedures was doing his work with his hands and feet, but he kept whispering some words on his lips.

From the tangled expression on his face, it can be seen that the words he muttered are definitely not good words.

And, from his fragmented words, we can hear that according to him, it seems that he is not a person from this time and space at all!

Indeed, just like this Chinese teenager named Kim Hyun-tae, he is not a person from this time and space at all, but from the earth of another time and space, and he is an authentic Chinese, and at the same time, he is thirty-six years old in middle age, and his wife has just died of cancer in the original time and space, leaving a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, so that when he didn't have time to grieve, he immediately devoted himself to the life of being a father and a mother.

But the question is, why did Kim Hyun-tae, who is a father and mother, come to this world and still appear in Los Angeles, California, USA, and work as a car washer?

At the same time, who is the 'alien schoolboy' that he keeps talking about?

In fact, Kim Hyun-tae should be regarded as a 'time-traveler', and he did not travel alone, but took his daughter through the time and space tunnel together, came to this time and space, and appeared in Los Angeles County, California, USA, in the Earth Federation.

And the reason is that because the school vacation of an alien elementary school student is about to end, he wants to take a shortcut (fly over the earth) to go home to report the 'Namek' elementary school student, but because the spaceship is not standardized, and then when passing the earth, a small part of the spacecraft broke away from the hull and landed on the earth, but fortunately, he hit Kim Hyun Tae and his daughter, causing a space traffic accident.

made Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter, who were about to go out to buy groceries, die on the spot, which can be described as extremely unlucky.

In order to evade responsibility, the alien schoolboy had to resurrect Kim Hyun-tae and his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and use his special technology to open a space-time tunnel, bringing the father and daughter from the other side of the earth to the Earth Federation of this time and space.

The main purpose is to make Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter, the two victims, disappear from their original time and space, so as to escape responsibility for the accident they caused.

But strictly speaking, that alien elementary school student can be regarded as a bit of a conscience.

At least it didn't directly hit and run, but gave Kim Hyun-tae's father and daughter a chance to live again, otherwise Kim Hyun-tae and his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter really had nothing to do with that alien elementary school student, and if they died, they would have no place to reason at all.

Do you know that Kim Hyun Tae has no way to find the Universe Alliance to complain?

And this alien elementary school student also used the little pocket money he had left, and activated some special technologies to get a legal identity for Kim Hyun Tae and the child in this time and space, which can be regarded as solving a problem.

It's just that the alien elementary school student doesn't have much pocket money, and after solving the identity problem, there is no way to get the money needed for the father and daughter to survive, so after Kim Hyun-tae arrived in the United States in this time and space, he had to start running around in order to survive.

This is also what makes Kim Hyun Tae complain the most.

But this is already the case, and Kim Hyun Tae has no way to change this, so he has to find a way to survive in the Earth Federation of the United States in this time and space.

Fortunately, Kim Hyun-tae is a big man in his thirties, and he can endure hardships for his daughter, and because Kim Hyun-tae himself is an orphan and his wife has passed away, he can be said to have basically no one to worry about in the original world, and his only daughter also followed him to this time and space, so he really has nothing to miss about the world of the original time and space.

It is precisely because of this that Kim Hyun-tae was able to integrate into the United States in this time and space in a short period of time and accept everything at present.

After coming to this time and space, Kim Hyun Tae got through the initial difficulties through the 50 yuan nutrition fee obtained from each [sperm donation], and then found a job as a car washer, and he worked for half a year.

is different from the description in the online novel, Kim Hyun Tae does not have the spirit of a king, nor does he have all kinds of halos or anything, and because he wants to get money for his daughter to eat his belly, he doesn't have so much thought and energy to think about other issues at all.

Fortunately, the alien elementary school student got him a legal identity and a daughter's birth certificate, so Kim Hyun-tae, who has a stable job, has the financial conditions to rent a house after half a year of hard work, and has a place to live for himself and his daughter.

Although the rented place is not very good, and the house is also very bad, for Kim Hyun Tae in the current environment, he really has no way to find fault with these.

He and his daughter can't be allowed to sleep on the streets.

People at work basically don't pay attention to each other, especially in this car wash where most of them are of Mexican descent, Kim Hyun-tae, as a Chinese, and those old Moxicans have no common language, so everyone is working with their heads down, and there will be no communication at all.

But that's fine, Kim Hyun-tae doesn't bother to chat with these guys, so he's happy to do his own thing and not have anything to do with those Mexicans.

Time passed little by little, with the passage of time and the slow movement of the sun in the sky, the time came to 16 o'clock in the afternoon, and Kim Hyun Tae started work at 8 o'clock in the morning and worked until this time, without any rest at all, not even eating lunch, and worked for 8 hours.

"Xiaojin, it's a shift change, come to get the money. ”

In the direction of the office, a man in a white shirt and black trousers stood at the door and shouted at Kim Hyun-tae, who was wiping the car.

Hearing this, Kim Hyun Tae raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face with a dry towel, and then nodded at a middle-aged Mexican man who walked over quickly, and after handing over the rest of the work, he left the car wash under his jurisdiction.

The middle-aged Mexican man took over Kim Hyun-tae's car and quickly began to wipe the car with a dry towel and took over the rest of Kim Hyun-tae's work.

Kim Hyun-tae, who was wearing denim overalls and a white T-shirt soaked with sweat, walked into the office of the car wash.

The cool wind blowing in the office made Kim Hyun Tae can't help but let out a comfortable **, he unbuckled the baby carrier at the same time, carefully held his daughter in his arms, and looked down at the child who was still sleeping.

After being held in his father's arms, the little one wrinkled his cute nose, then opened his eyes, and when the little one saw the familiar face of his father, he immediately let out a 'giggle' laugh, and at the same time waved his short little hands, looking very happy.

Kim Hyun-tae's daughter was originally one and a half years old, but unfortunately, because she traveled through the space-time tunnel and was affected by the mysterious energy magnetic field in the tunnel, her daughter, who was only one and a half years old, became a one-month-old baby after coming to this time and space, which brought a lot of trouble to Kim Hyun-tae.

You know, babies are not as easy to carry as a one-and-a-half-year-old child.

And Kim Hyun-tae himself has changed from a middle-aged man to the appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy now, and has regained his youth.

It's a pity that Kim Hyun-tae doesn't care much about this change at all, what he cares about is how to take his daughter to live well and take good care of his daughter.

In this way, the 'teenager' Kim Hyun Tae gritted his teeth in this parallel time and space, taking care of his daughter while looking for a job, and it was very hard for half a year.

Because he is a single father, it is impossible for his daughter to stay in the rented home, and at the same time, Kim Hyun Tae is not at ease to hand it over to others, so he has to take his daughter with him every day at work.

"It's cool, it's hot outside, it's still comfortable in the office, and the air conditioning is enough. Kim Hyun-tae closed his eyes and felt the cool air conditioner, and then walked towards the boss.

The whole office is large, with car tires and some spare parts, and in the corner at the end there is a desk with a computer on the table, and behind it sits a Chinese man in his thirties.

This man is the third-generation owner of the car wash.

After Kim Hyun-tae walked over, the boss took out a white envelope and handed it to Kim Hyun-tae.

"Your work is very good, one or two cars of time is less than the old Mo people, it seems that I was not wrong in the original decision to leave you, I hope you will continue to work hard. Give, here's your paycheck today. ”

After speaking, the other party's eyes were on the child in Kim Hyun-tae's arms, and then said: "It's not easy to see you, you're only so old, you have to support a child, it's very hard." ”

took the white envelope, opened the envelope and looked at it, there were four 10 yuan bills and eight 1 yuan bills, and only after making sure it was correct, he responded: "My own children, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." Since I'm her father, I have to take responsibility, don't I? ”

The boss shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, and Kim Hyun-tae didn't continue to talk about it, and even if he continued to talk, the other party might not necessarily increase his salary because of this, so why waste his tongue.

"So I'm off work now, will I still be at work at eight o'clock tomorrow?"

"Yes, eight o'clock. ”

Turning around and leaving the office, he walked to the street outside the car wash with his daughter in his arms.

"Lao Tzu will not wash the car here for the rest of his life, there is no chance of getting ahead at all, and I am equivalent to having a new life, how can I not work hard and strive to come out of the mix." ”

Standing on the street at the entrance of the car wash, Kim Hyun-tae stopped and looked back, then looked at his daughter who was dancing in his arms, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

Indeed, there is no way out of this work, and it is only for survival at the moment.

As a father, Kim Hyun Tae has to think about his own development, as well as his daughter's future development.

This matter cannot be neglected.

But Kim Hyun-tae also knows that this is not a good time, and he still needs this job and this salary now.

But once he had the opportunity, Kim Hyun Tae would definitely make the right choice.

"Oh, Dad has received today's salary, I'll buy you milk powder and go home and drink it, and Dad will take you to work at night when you're full." ”

Retracting his thoughts, Kim Hyun-tae raised his hand and scratched the little face of his 'babbling' daughter, which caused the little guy to show a somewhat dissatisfied expression, and Kim Hyun-tae laughed when he saw it, and he didn't care if his daughter understood it or not, in short, he would talk to his daughter every day.

Later, Kim Hyun-tae went to a place not far from the car wash, picked up his second-hand bicycle, collapsed into the car, carried his daughter back on his back, and embarked on the journey home.
