Chapter 0444: Good and Bad
"Go to the South End. "Get in the car, Li Zitao asked the driver to drive the car to the southern district.
No one in the car spoke, and Eric bent over and lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Zitao.
He was also thinking about what to do about it, and just give up on Eric?
Then his life will really be ruined, although there is no blood relationship between them, but there is a relationship for such a long time.
He was so eager to be able to integrate into his own culture, and Li Zitao could understand.
It's just that at this time, black people really have no future, and they will at least have the road of sports to go in the future.
Now, even the doors of the world of sports are closed to them.
Whether it's baseball, hockey, American football, or any other sport, there's no black presence in it.
In addition to doing the lowest jobs and earning less than others, the only way out is to deviate and commit crimes.
The car gradually drove into the South Side, the muddy and potholed road bumping the car, lined with rows of dilapidated houses, and squatting in the door with idle black men squatting.
The grass surrounded their house, the walls were covered with black, buttery dirt, and children were squatting in the grass and pulling something, and in surprise they picked up a bug and stuffed it into their mouths.
Seeing a convoy coming in, the people around them all stood up, and the eyes of greed, jealousy, envy, anger, and hatred came from everywhere.
"Look up and look out the window. Li Zitao suddenly spoke up, and Eric raised his head to look out the window.
The tears on his face had dried up, and when he saw the various compatriots outside the window, his gaze kept changing, sometimes magnifying and sometimes shrinking.
While feeling sad for these people, Eric also thought about what life used to be.
I have no fixed place to live, I am frightened, and every day I hear the most gunshots, and I see the dead people the most.
The bullying and scolding in the orphanage, these images of the past flickered in my mind.
"Alright, go home. Letting Shen Dong drive away, Li Zitao looked at Eric and said, "Do you want to live like this?"
"Nope. Eric's answer was low and powerful, with grievance and anger.
Then you should be clear about what to do and what not to do. Li Zitao said in a calm tone: "This is not a threat, it is advice, who do you think those white noodles were sold to, and how many families have you ruined while helping one person?"
For any 'minority' in the United States, no matter what kind of business they do, the first thing to do is their own people.
Because other people don't like you at all, even if it's something like white flour, if you want to sell it to white people, people will suspect that you are not good enough!
As the car drove away from the South Side, the stagnation in the air gradually weakened, and when it entered Hollywood, the glow of the lights made the air mild again.
Back home, Eric rushed back to the room without saying a word, and Mary, who was waiting for news on the couch, stood up and looked at him inquiringly.
"Let him calm down. Li Zitao sighed and sat on the sofa.
It's tiring to deal with this kind of thing, and I'm worried that he will learn badly, and I have to take into account the fragile mind of the child.
Sure enough, children are the natural enemies of adults.
Li Zitao had completely forgotten about this, he also said that the child was an angel before!!
"Compared to the rabbit country, there are too many temptations here. Li Zitao rubbed his head and thought to himself.
"My dear, I have good news for you. Seeing his heavy expression, Mary curled up on the couch with her legs bent and whispered close to his ear.
"Really?" Li Zitao's expression instantly turned excited, and he held his wife's hand excitedly.
"Well, the doctor has checked it, and it's a healthy baby. Mary looked at him with a smile, no less joy and excitement in her heart than he came.
She is expecting.
"As I said, that night was a lucky night. Mary put her arms around his shoulders and spoke softly like a maiden, leaning against his chest.
"Yes, that's right, lucky night. "My wife is pregnant, so I don't say anything, just listen obediently.
"You should go to bed now, find a paramedic to watch you tomorrow, and don't run around anymore. Li Zitao hugged her domineeringly, a princess hugged, and strode towards the room.
"Hey, you can't restrict my freedom, ha, don't make a fuss..."The laughter in the room continued for a long time before it finally calmed down.
Hugging his sleeping wife, Li Zitao put one hand behind his head and looked at the ceiling.
This will already be happy in his heart, whether he wants to admit it or not, whether he is related by blood or not, the feeling is completely different.
He wants a little princess, well-behaved, obedient, close to his father, and takes her around every day to see, the more he thinks about it, the more beautiful he becomes.
It's just that when he thinks of education, Li Zitao's head is as big as an ox, how do other people's parents pull their children up.
What if she was bullied, if she was ostracized, if someone was jealous and hurt her?
What if you can't resist the temptation to learn badly? If...
The glutinous 'hum' of his wife, who tossed and turned, made Li Zitao instantly honest, and fell asleep in a trance in a mess.
When he woke up in the morning, he felt a lot less worried, or rather, he thought of a way.
If someone dared to bully her, Lao Tzu would stuff the golden python into his mouth...... Fuck it.
When Li Zitao packed up and walked out of the room, Mary was standing at the top of the stairs and shouted to the second floor, "Eric, come down for breakfast." ”
"Did something happen?" Fia asked, a little worried.
The atmosphere had become very strange since yesterday, and Eric had locked himself in his room since he came back, not answering any call.
"It's fine, some minor trouble. Li Zitao grabbed her hand and smiled.
Wow, wow.
Eric came downstairs, dejected, looking like he'd stayed up all night.
"Charlie, Mary, I'm sorry. Eric sat in his place and said in a timid voice.
"We forgive you, as long as you really recognize your mistakes. Mary said, rubbing his head.
"I see, really. Eric nodded earnestly.
"Starting tomorrow, after school, you'll be doing public service on Barrington Avenue. Mary announced the news.
"Okay, I'll go. Eric nodded.
"Okay, let this matter pass!" Li Zitao thought that what he said was true, he recognized his mistake, and he also understood the seriousness of this matter.
Eric has been doing well, he's not the bad kid and hopefully this will get over quickly and he can learn from it.
After breakfast, Eric and Fia went out, the car was already waiting outside the door, and later to the apartment below would pick up Norma and go to school together.
Mary also began to prepare for today's family dinner, and at noon the Roosevelts would arrive at the estate to celebrate his official party nomination as a presidential candidate.
