"Ake, I found a part-time job."
Xingxing, carrying a bag, entered the room. She took out several nice pieces of clothing and held them up to her body, "I'll be a window model, eighty bucks an hour!"
Ake was sitting on the floor working on a puzzle, which was his job. He helped people who bought puzzles but lacked the patience to piece together various complex designs, earning about fifty to a hundred yuan per puzzle. He could get seven or eight puzzles a week, which was enough to cover his own food expenses. Thus, he and Xingxing's lives had improved considerably compared to before. Although they still lived in the same place, their quality of life had vastly improved and now resembled that of an ordinary family.
