"Honey, the news said that there was a broken water pipe above the subway last night, and now the subway is out of service, you send Jason to school today, I have to go first, otherwise it will be too late. ”

"Okay, bring your bag, do you have any documents to bring?"

Parker got up, sorted everything he needed for work, and watched her close the door before returning to the dinner table, turning off the radio, pouring a cup of coffee, and waiting for Jason to pull the food into his stomach like a storm.

"I'm done. ”

Jason's interest was not high, he had been like this since attending Nelson's funeral, quietly carrying his school bag, waiting for Parker to put on his leather shoes, the two went downstairs, got into Parker's old Cadillac, and the car started and slowly merged into the endless traffic.

Traffic jams are the first lesson that life teaches everyone every day, making people gradually accept congestion, adapting to vehicles driving at a speed of ten kilometers per hour without getting angry, and also making people more stingy, so stingy that they don't give anyone a chance to plug in, and ensure that they have enough leeway.

Parker's company is not far from Jason's school, so once something happens, Parker has always sent Jason to school, and the father and son do not communicate much, just like Parker and his father do not communicate much, they maintain the family tradition, that is, the father is the father, the son is the son, and the two do not have any friends except for the father-son relationship.

So the two are silent, one is driving, the other is playing with his mobile phone, and only the traffic channel road condition information maintains the atmosphere of the car space, so as not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

It wasn't until they passed by another high school next door to Jason's school that Parker and Jason couldn't help but look out at the same time, this is an aristocratic school, it is morning activity time, and a group of rich children are riding their own horses, jogging, jumping, and moving their muscles in the school's horse farm.

For ordinary people, the early compulsory course in a school is actually equestrian, which is enough to shock their jaws, but this is a very ordinary course in a noble school.

Not only that, according to Parker's understanding, this school is also very rich in elective courses, painting, music, archery, outdoor sports and a series of high-end education is enough to cultivate an ignorant child into an excellent and promising young man, of course, provided that he is a rich child.

As if suddenly remembering something, Parker asked Jason a question, "Are you still in touch with Chris?"

"It's basically gone, and even if we meet, we just say hello. ”

"Why?"

"He became very ...... Disgusting. ”

The question seemed to touch the point of Jason's disgust, and although he said it a little vaguely, Parker still understood what he meant, tapped his index finger twice on the steering wheel, nodded, did not speak, and finally arrived at Jason's school gate.

At this time, a girl got out of the car behind Parker and met Jason who had just gotten out of the car, the two children greeted him with a smile, and the girl also said hello to Parker, but her somewhat revealing clothes and heavy makeup face were really not very popular with Parker.

This is not what she should be at her age and in this capacity, but this can't be a reason for a father to ignore his son's classmates after receiving greetings, so he also nodded and responded with a smile.

Does Jason like this girl? Parker doesn't know, but even if Jason does, for a girl who has just met, Parker shouldn't judge the quality of this girl based on her appearance alone, and then immediately stop the two children from coming and going, maybe the girl is just dressed up a little mature, and it's not wrong to like mature makeup, right?

He just told Jason that his mother would cook a lot of his favorite dishes today, and hoped that he would come home soon.

Under Western education, there are many families with children of the same age who call their parents' names, and they are coaxed by their fathers like children to say that they made his favorite dishes tonight and let him go home early, this tone can easily make children become the object of ridicule by other friends, but Parker noticed the girl's expression, did not laugh, but smiled gently, urging the slightly embarrassed Jason to quickly agree.

"Okay, I got Dad. ”

"See you that night. ”

With a wave of his hand, Parker turned his turn signal, looked into the mirror, saw that there was enough space to turn, stepped on the accelerator and left, only to turn his head from time to time to look at the two children who walked into the school talking and laughing.

After looking at the time, there was still more than half an hour before the time to clock in to work, and there was plenty of time, so Parker maintained the habit of sending Jason to school and going to the walls of the aristocratic school to take a look.

In fact, every day, many people will stand at the gate of the aristocratic school and peek inside to see what this world, which is very far away from themselves, is like, and the school's security guards will not stop them from stopping and watching, as long as there is no other action, they will not be expelled from the school.

I found a spare spot, and watched the sturdy horses gallop around the racecourse, bringing up patches of sand, and occasionally stepping over the railing, and a neighing could cause the sigh of those who stopped, just like Parker.

……

"That's amazing......"

Jason sat on his father's shoulder, holding the fence with both hands, eager to dig his head into the fence to find out, his eyes shining with hope, watching the cars that were about to emerge from the afterimage running down the track.

He had never seen such a large remote-controlled racing track, not even on TV, even a fast car that took a long time to complete a lap, and all kinds of cars were sprayed with graffiti, which was very cool in his eyes.

Jason Jr. drooled when he saw it, but he never thought he could own one.

A car ran slowly, in fact, not much slower, was stopped by the little owner of the car, took off the chassis, replaced a battery, threw the old battery into the waste battery trash can, just about to put the car back on the track, but the afterglow was left behind the fence, and a child about the same age as him was looking at him directly.

"Hey, do you want to play together?"

"I don't ......? I don't have a racing ......"

"It's okay, I'm tired of playing and want to take a break, do you want to come and play?"

Compared to the down-and-out child, Jason seemed a little timid, looking at his father hesitantly, hoping that he could make a decision for himself.

"Thank you, kid, we can't get in, forget it, Jason, say thank you to him. ”

"It's okay, I'll pick you up at the door. ”

As soon as the words fell, he threw down the car and ran towards the door, and then Parker had no reason to refuse, so he could only put Jason on the ground, watched his eyes turn from dark to bright, and happily followed the child into this aristocratic elementary school.

"My name is Chris, what's your name. ”

"Jason ......"

He took Jason into the track, and the other children did not have the slightest hostility towards Jason, an "outsider", showing a high quality, a group of children gathered around Jason, enthusiastically taught him how to operate various cars, and soon, the car controlled by Jason started racing with other cars.

That is, until another car starts to slow down, and its owner removes the battery and hands it over to a sweaty Jason.

"Can you throw it for me?"

"It's still a little electric. ”

"It's slowing down, it's useless, Jason, please help me throw it. ”

Holding the battery in his hand, Jason was stunned for a long time before wiping the sweat from his forehead, got up and walked to the trash can where the battery was recycled, turned his back to the other children, and secretly stuffed the battery into his own pocket......

He turned around in a bit of a panic, the children were still playing, and they didn't notice his actions, so he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had lost all his strength, and walked slowly towards the children, the first step...... Step 2......

Until he looked out of the wall, his father was looking at him, and father and son looked at each other for a long time...... He knew that his father saw it, and he wanted to gamble, maybe his father didn't see it, and the third step was ......

Chris was playing, and the car went off track, flew out, and smashed into the ground, and the parts shattered to the ground, not decomposed, but broken.

"Don't......"

Chris stomped his feet in frustration, looked through the condition of the car, and finally sighed, picked up the parts one by one, and threw them in the trash.

Jason watched the scene, watched the other children coax, held the sweaty battery in his pocket, turned his head, and threw it into the trash.

Outside the fence, Parker breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jason's actions, leaned against the wall weakly, slowly crouched down, took out his mobile phone, and looked at the price of the car.

It's expensive, modified accessories are even more expensive, and you can't run at all without modification.

Parker pondered for a long time, and finally put his phone in his pocket, lit a cigarette, picked up a branch and counted it on the ground, finally broke the branch, got up, and kicked the rotten account vigorously without saying a word.

After throwing the battery, Jason quickly said goodbye to the children, and went out of the gate alone, Parker lifted him up again, straddled his shoulder, and walked forward in the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadow of the old man who was pulled.

"Dad. ”

"Huh?"

"I don't want to come here anymore, I don't want to come again. ”

"Okay, I'm not coming......"

……

"Uncle Parker, long time no see, are you okay?"

A hello pulled Parker back from his memory, and he looked up to meet a tall horse, carrying his master, snorting from time to time.

A handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes, with a sincere smile, turned over and dismounted, greeted warmly, and vaguely, there was also a shadow of Chris's childhood.

"I just sent Jason to school, are you okay? Hey, I didn't expect to grow so big in a blink of an eye. ”

"I'm fine Uncle Parker, Jason...... The two of us haven't seen each other in a while, and I'll go out with him when I have time. ”

"You'll have to set your own time, he's currently studying hard, and I don't know when he'll have time. ”

"Okay, then I'll talk to him, by the way, Uncle Parker, I heard...... Jason was participating in the parade and had organized small parades on his own, you know, this kind of thing can be done alone, organized...... Not very safe. ”

"I see, thank you Chris, I'll stop him, I still have work here, I'll go first, I wish you a good life. ”

Didn't communicate with Christo, first, there was no time, and second, there was nothing to say, Jason participated in the parade and protested...... Isn't that the kind of person Chris?

"Who is he?"

"My childhood playmate's father also works for my dad's company. ”

"Oh, just that friend who studied in the gun warehouse?"

"yes. ”

Parker's ears are more sensitive, and the conversation between Chris and his classmates behind him is not hidden, and it all gets into Parker's ears.

Glancing at the time, he got into the car, merged into the traffic, and drove off into the distance, and when he was cured, he had to work.

……

"I'm a failed father, and I never argue with that, my children don't have a good education, and they don't have any decent toys, because these need to be fulfilled on the basis of abundance"

"Thankfully, Jason is very sensible and has never complained to me about what he lacks, and I have also resented my powerlessness and wanted to be angry, but my mind is not able to support me to get the life I want, and my mind cannot find a way to succeed. ”

"So, my image is fixed by society, and I become part of a certain group, just like cockroaches, ants, and spiders all belong to the insect family.

"I have been combined with thousands of people of different appearances, different sizes, different personalities, and what we call ...... Everyman. ”

……

"Hey Parker, how's your body?"

"Good morning, Mr. Parker, I heard that you have been unwell lately, have you recovered now?"

There are constantly people around him to greet each other, there are colleagues, there are subordinates, gently reply to colleagues, keep a distance from subordinates, and maintain their majesty and leadership, this is the experience learned in more than 20 years of work, although he has only been promoted to one level in the past 20 years, but the leader of a department.

The hierarchical order of this steel forest is more brutal than that of nature, and the law of natural selection may be more appropriate in human society today.

Not to mention the difficulty of employment, the first thing to do when you participate in the job is not to be familiar with the company's situation and your own responsibilities, nor to understand the corporate culture and cultivate a sense of identity, but to be mentally prepared for the next few decades, and the leader who controls you will not change.

Countless people look forward to climbing upward, praying every day that the leaders who take care of them will be promoted or die, or curse the leaders who speak ill of them to be laid off, so that they have room to rise and be qualified to enter this silent battlefield.

The colleagues who talk and laugh happily on weekdays are actually bloodthirsty, staring at everyone, not letting go of even a small mistake, even Parker, who has already sharpened the butcher's knife against the chest of these colleagues, once someone leaks a flaw, there will be a group of sharks that smell blood to eat him up.

As a result, everyone does not dare to act rashly, dare not be caught, and fix themselves in the identity of a good leader or a good employee.

"Charles, have you handed over the parameters of the plan before I took leave to the design department?"

"Yes, the data handover has been completed with the design department, and the specific parameters have been checked with the design department, and the design department has fully taken over Mr. Parker. ”

Put the paper coffee cup on the table, open the lid, slowly pour the white sugar and stir, and hear that the work has been completed, which reassures Parker, and he will personally check every time the work is handed over, so as not to make mistakes.

Fortunately, his subordinates have been working under him for several years, and the docking work can be done even if Parker is not present, even if the design department finds that there is an error in the data, as long as the work handover is completed, Parker will not be involved.

"Well done, inform the others, let's have dinner tonight. ”

As the best communication bridge after work, dinner parties are not only popular in a certain country or field, as long as the work is completed, the leader will have a bonus commission, in order to appease his soldiers, it is a very necessary thing to take out a part of it for eating and drinking.

Charles nodded, he could see that he was very happy, after all, Parker is not a pretentious leader, after work, he is very easy to get along with, which also makes the drinks at the dinner party not so difficult to swallow, and Parker, the leader, is actually no different from the state of friends when they eat.

Charles informed the rest of his subordinates that the next ten seconds or so would be their cheering time, and no one didn't like to drink, and a hangover in the midst of their busy schedules was the best relaxing experience for them.

"Ahem......"

With a slight cough so as not to delay the work of the other groups, a dozen of Parker's men became quiet and continued to work as if nothing had ever happened.

Suddenly, a bloated man with gray temples pushed the door and walked into the office, Parker got up when he saw this, this is his leadership for more than 20 years, thanks to his care, Parker stands out from the crowd of fierce competition.

"Parker, are you feeling better? Your team did a good job in the last case, and it did well, so I'm sorry, I have to send you another list, it's also a rush job, and it will be completed in two weeks at the latest, you have to work a little harder, and you have to finish working overtime, the price is very good, work hard, and think of it as buying two more outfits for Jason." ”

A thick document is placed in Parker's hand, which is heavier than other lists, which shows that the workload this time will definitely not be small, but this is also the leader's reliance on him, and Parker naturally has no reason to refuse.

"No problem, Mr. Pattinger. ”

"Well, then I'll go first, the cost in the hospital is not small, right? The sooner you raise it, the more bonuses you will have, and you will be able to repay half a year's medical loan after you finish this." ”

Pattinger patted Parker on the shoulder and turned to leave, and when Parker turned his head, he was confronted with a frustrated subordinate who had a hunch that tonight's dinner plan was going to be canceled.

Weighing the document in his hand, he opened it and looked at it, and handed it to Charles, who suddenly clapped his hands.

"If you can enter the information before noon, and assign your own tasks, don't be lazy in the afternoon, tonight's dinner will not be canceled, but the next two weeks will be enough for you to be busy. ”

"No problem! Mr. Parker!"

The cheers rang out again, and everyone regained their motivation to take the part of the materials that Charles had distributed to them, and began to work on the computer, but the sound was a little louder.

"Ahem......"

It was quiet again.

……

He was busy until noon, and when the lunch break came, Parker could hear his spine clicking and popping as he stretched slightly, and he was a little enchanted with his work, until his subordinates had begun to eat, and he was just out of state.

It is forbidden to eat flavored food in the company, so these people's lunch is usually their mother, or wife, or they get up early to make sandwiches, bread and milk.

If you don't want to eat any of these things, you have other options: go downstairs to a roadside food stall and buy a hot dog, curry, fried dumplings, or go to the Walmart across the street from the office to buy a discounted treat, which is much better than a sandwich.

As a member of Walmart, his lunch was never solved in the company, after all, he almost suffered from anorexia after eating sandwiches when he first joined the company.

While discounted food is a bit more expensive than a sandwich and adds up to a little more than nibbling bread at the office, it's not unworth the extra money to save his taste buds as a small leader.

Make an appointment with colleagues, four people go to the mall, the price of turkey is very cheap, and enough for four people to eat, and then AA a pizza, it is enough to eat, the rest of the time, habitually take the elevator to the top floor, drink milk, look at the surging flow of people in the mall, each distracted.

He saw a black couple, the woman was holding the child, and the man was pushing a cart with a lot of baby products inside, standing in front of the milk powder container and arguing.

"He's your child, no matter how stingy you are, you always need to buy some good milk powder, right?"

"Please, if his IQ can reach one hundred and eighteen, I am willing to wash away my ashes and give him to drink, but the problem is that he is very ordinary, no child from an ordinary family wants to drink a can of milk powder to drink his father's salary for a month, these milk powders have certificates, and there will be no problems if you drink them, just buy these, anyway, the longevity gene is very strong." ”

"Then you should buy a similar brand, right? What do you mean by taking the bottom two cans of discounted promotional items with bad dates?"

"Who do you think I am? Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream that a black child can drink the same big milk powder in the same warm nursery as a white child? A little black child should drink a little black child milk powder, I'm just a road worker who earns seven dollars an hour, you're just a car washer, I hope he can drink good milk powder for his child when he grows up, but now his father can't do it. ”

The man was very terrierous, his words were very funny, and while laughing at himself, he also persuaded his wife to put the discounted milk powder in the cart, and Parker and the others, who were eavesdropping not far away, also sneered, perhaps because they heard some laughter, the woman pinched her husband and quickly pulled him away.

Racial discrimination is strictly prohibited in the workplace, once an employee protests, the protested person basically can't escape the fate of resignation, even these colleagues who eat and drink together on weekdays have not asked which country Parker is from, only know that he is Asian, but this kind of individual self-mockery is normal to laugh after being heard, as long as you don't get involved in this topic.

So a few people are not worried about whether they will make a mistake because of this matter, but continue to discuss the topic of the man buying milk powder just now, and they are lamenting that it is not easy to raise a child if they have a family, and they are also related to those who have not started a family, and they listen carefully to the life experience that they may use in the future.

"Parker, did you have a hard time selling baby products when you had children? I remember you had children in your twenties, right? You should be the hardest one to raise children. ”

After drinking the yogurt, he was tossed in the palm of Pakto's hand, and after making sure that he didn't press his hand, he threw it into the trash can next to the seat, looked at the ceiling and thought about it, and nodded with a smile.

"At that time, the subsidy was not as much as it is now, and there was no maternity bonus, although the baby insurance was free, but the child's nutrition and daily necessities did need us to take a part of it ourselves. ”

……

"Goodbye, Father Mack. ”

"Parker, be sure to inform me first when the child is born, and I will go to him for baptism at once, may the Father of Heaven bless him with peace, and may Lisa not have to suffer too much. ”

The elderly priest reached out and gently stroked the top of Lisa's head, closed his eyes and prayed for the safety of mother and child, then patted him on the shoulder and watched Parker help Lisa to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

The results of the examination were normal, and Parker calmly listened to the doctor's conclusion, with the current level of medical care, it is difficult for the child to think of anything.

With less than a month to go before the due date, Lisa was bored at home, so she took advantage of the prenatal check-up to go to the mall with Parker to prepare a gift for the new family member who was about to come to this world.

Along the way, everyone avoided the two, and even the cars were far away when crossing the street, leaving them room to even play basketball, because once the child had problems caused by touching or stimulating the pregnant woman, then the person could basically play GG for the rest of his life.

Harming a child is a felony, even if the child is not born, and once you are accused of murdering a child, you will need to live up to your self-worth in prison for at least 200 years.

No one was willing to take this risk, so the two of them seemed to have brought a burly bodyguard who could not be seen or touched, and protected them thoroughly, and even the dogs did not dare to bark at them.

The first batch of parenting funds has been issued, otherwise the two would not dare to come to the mall to see baby products, many things here are ridiculously expensive, belonging to the type of two people who dare not reach out to death, even if there is a subsidy now, the two have to consider the price again and again, before they dare to put it in the cart.

Walking to the milk powder container, the two discussed for a long time, before gritting their teeth and taking two cans of mid-range milk powder, and then scattered the girl and slipped away, not daring to look at the top goods placed in the most conspicuous position.

After a successful sweep and a drive back home, Parker cooks a sumptuous dinner to treat an exhausted Lisa and wash her swollen feet.

Nowadays, the work of the two is still not improving, which is also a normal phenomenon, after all, the living conditions of their peers are similar to theirs, the work pressure is huge, and the salary is a little pitiful.

As a pregnant woman and a husband, the two now enjoy the super high treatment of paid leave, but the pressure of raising children makes the two never dare to take it lightly, Parker still needs to work, and earning an extra dollar bonus is also earned.

Late at night, the two snuggled up on the sofa, Lisa pillowed on his shoulder, half-asleep, so that he didn't even dare to touch the keyboard much, for fear of waking her up.

I don't know how long it took, she sighed softly, the screen was a little bright and dazzling, she half-squinted, her right hand passed under his armpit, placed it on Parker's waist, gently turned her head twice, and rubbed a subtle rustle between the hairs, and then she inhaled comfortably.

"Parker, he kicked me. ”

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it just feels it, Parker......"

"Huh?"

"You don't like him...... Right?"

The hands controlling the keyboard paused for a long time, and his attention could no longer stay on the screen, and finally chose to give up, put the computer aside, and turned his head to stop in front of Lisa.

"No, you think too much, I just don't know how to face him when he is really born......"

"After all, he's just a stranger, isn't he? Even I feel this way, and it's hard to feel joy even though I'm pregnant...... Even though he was conceived by my flesh and blood, ...... He was a stranger to me, did I love him? I think I should love him, but out of a sense of duty, not out of that ...... I don't know what to say. ”

"That sense of kinship?"

"That's right, I've always heard that when you're pregnant, you have that kind of kinship with your baby, but I didn't, I asked my mother, and she didn't, I just watched him grow up in my belly day by day, I suffered a lot of sins, but I had a great sense of accomplishment, like I had accomplished a feat, so I cherished him, and it was my duty to tell me that he was my child, so I should protect him, and I finally understood why some mothers would throw their children away, because their homeschooling didn't teach them what responsibility was, I was glad I understood this responsibility, but I was more afraid。 ”

Parker had lost his enthusiasm for work, turned off the computer, put it in his computer bag, bent down to put on Lisa's slippers, and quietly thought about every word Lisa said, the same meaning, and empathized, and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”

"I am afraid, when one day he is disgusted with the world, and asks me why I gave birth to him, what shall I say? ”

The atmosphere was silent, only the clock was ticking, the two felt the passage of time, but they were speechless about the question, and finally could only shake their heads and shake the question out of their heads, he helped Lisa to get up, back to the bedroom, the two lay down, heard each other's breathing, crossed their hands together, slowly, drowsiness came up, at the moment when they were about to fall asleep, he heard in a trance, Lisa's answer.

"Even if he hates me, I have to tell him, I hope he comes to this world, I will be familiar with him, love him with all my heart, do my best, give him warmth, let him see the beauty that still exists in this world, I hope he came to the world, not for my own selfish desires, but because of the good and evil, beauty and ugliness of the world, after all, I still need to observe with my own eyes, and I need to judge for myself whether this world is worth it. ”

"After all...... Even if you are deep in the mud, it is accompanied by the aroma of earth. ”

……

"Lisa is not a thinker, but she is very thoughtful, and before she has children, she has already thought about the problems that need to be faced and how to deal with them, and this is something I need to learn, because I always think about solving problems or bypassing them after I have encountered them. ”

"Did I want to have a baby? Actually, I didn't know in my heart, maybe I didn't want it myself, because as I said at the time, I didn't know how to deal with this stranger who was not yet born, maybe because my parents had told me before they died that they would have children in the future, so I did that. ”

"Some people once said that I am a typical human manifestation of low desire and hope for social survival, but I don't admit this, I always think that there is no such thing as a low desire and hope society, after all, no one can deny that the process of making children is really happy. ”

"A person's life is always accompanied by a lot of desires, money, power, and I have never seen anyone who has ever had a lower desire for these things. “

"Even that kind of desire has never faded, people should shoot guns after they are full of food and drink, find a partner when they should find a partner, and even one-night stands are not uncommon, is this a characteristic of a society with low desire and hope?"

But why do many people hesitate to refuse when it comes to getting married, or when they have children? After thinking about it, they have come to the result, but they don't want to let their hard-earned money run into other people's pockets because of some bullshit sense of responsibility. ”

Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a low-desire society as a low-sense society. ”

……

"Come on, you can drink a little more today, starting tomorrow, in the next half a month, everyone must work hard and strive to finish the work in advance, and I will ask Mr. Pattinger to grant you a few days off, and then you can play as you want, cheers!"

At this moment, red wine is no longer available for everyone to drink as a leisurely dinner wine, and everyone does not have the leisure to wait for the wine to exude aroma, but covets alcohol to anesthetize the brain at this moment.

Therefore, the red wine was poured full and was drunk by everyone, Parker breathed a long sigh of relief, burped, and didn't care whether it was elegant or not, the subordinates around him were smashing their mouths, experiencing the taste of alcohol.

"Boss, don't worry, the amount of tasks on this list is not too big, although it is a little complicated, but it will definitely be able to do it with more than ten days of work, who doesn't know that our group is the most efficient. ”

The first glass of wine after the leader speaks at the dinner party is the most suitable time to pat on the back, but you can't rush to show loyalty to a group of subordinates, this head must be started by the leader's favorite subordinates, otherwise if the leader does not want to see the subordinates first, not only the leader will not like it, but the subordinates that the leader likes will also give you small shoes.

So this statement is the most appropriate for Charles to speak, and instead of continuing to use the honorific title used in his work, he uses a more recent title.

"Yes, don't worry, sir. ”

"We're definitely going to work hard to get the job done and we're never going to disgrace you in front of Mr. Paddinger. ”

After Charles finished speaking, everyone could speak in agreement, and those who had a good relationship with Parker issued a military order, and those who had a bad relationship patted their sycophants, hoping to improve their relationship with their boss at the dinner.

"That's the best, after finishing this order, I'll guarantee you a new watch and another drink. ”

After the polite words, the celebration after the completion of the previous order officially began, which is also the reason why the subordinates like Parker, there is not much official, only a few words will stop, and then talk about the amount of bonus that you like to see, and finally the alcoholism is over, and you won't say a word more.

will not talk endlessly like other bosses, and even play official there after the whole meal, criticize this and then criticize that, and the subordinates who provoke them will not be happy to drink some wine.

Under the anesthesia of alcohol, everyone began to let loose their bones, smiled more, and the swear words gradually increased, but it was not aimed at anyone, just verbal language, no specific meaning, this point, Parker did not stop it at all, everyone was suppressed and ruthless, using alcohol as a breakthrough, it is normal to use swear words to vent pressure, don't look at his attitude at the moment, in fact, he is as rude as these subordinates when he eats with other colleagues or friends.

Red wine gradually failed to satisfy the appetite of a group of alcoholics, and switched to whiskey with higher alcohol content, trying to let go of themselves faster, not without women in the group, but they drank better than most male employees, more reserved at first, and later became much more terrible than men.

After three rounds of drinking, the state of the ladies rose, and they picked up their wine glasses to discuss with the male colleagues who had just gotten carried away, and even besieged the poor worm who was alone, and directly put people down, like a tigress's fierce image, which made Parker difficult to hold back his serious face and participated in the ranks of "bullying the weak".

The act of persuading alcohol is not good, many people think that this is a rough drinking culture, fifty years ago, most of them drank their own, and the amount of alcohol was poor and they would let go of two pleas for mercy, but now, this way of drinking has become the norm, and alcoholism also has a health bracelet reminder, and there will be no danger at all.

Perhaps, the way of drinking for self-entertainment is not necessarily more advanced than persuasion, but rather the persuasion of drinking is a more deformed form of luxury than self-entertainment, and the more intense the working environment or living environment, the more this situation will occur.

Parker's alcohol consumption is not bad, but it is only more than the upper and lower than the bottom, compared with these female madmen and other male subordinates who can drink, his alcohol consumption is also shallow, and in the middle of the night, the people who can drink continue to be reckless, and the poor ones have fallen to the ground and fell asleep.

Wake up the sleeping subordinates and tell them where to go, Parker waved his hand and asked the waiter to pay, this dinner is not expensive, after all, tobacco and alcohol are the cheapest goods.

Saying goodbye to his subordinates, he walked out of the restaurant, there is vomit in all corners of this food street, you must be careful not to step on it when walking, next to the green belt, there will be many men and women lying every night, the image of the untidy snoring and sleeping, providing mosquitoes with a good meal.

Dodging a group of drunks, their fists were already weak, and even if Parker were involved, there would be no danger.

He is going to sleep in the company tonight, after all, the cost of taking a taxi is too high, let alone a substitute driver, the main reason is that every night, his neighborhood will become the territory of the homeless gang and the unemployed, and a drunk man who goes in will probably find himself waking up in the grass the next day.

I went to the convenience store and bought a pack of cigarettes, I wanted to sit on the bench and smoke one quietly, but the G woman on the street stared at Parker like a fly, he had no choice but to escape from here, return to the company, bypass the other subordinates who were already asleep, lie on his seat, and sleep quietly.

……

"Where's Daddy?"

"Tonight, they won't be coming back for dinner, go to bed early, Jason, I have to go to school tomorrow, don't forget to pray before going to bed. ”

Lisa is sorting out the reports and constantly operating the computer to complete the information needed for tomorrow, but even if she is very busy, when answering Jason, she will go back and tell Jason seriously, instead of a perfunctory attitude, which is the responsibility of a mother.

Although Jason was unimpressed, as he was not a Catholic.

"Okay, okay, I know, good night mom. ”

He returned to his room, and instead of praying, he got into the bed, picked up his phone, and had a lively discussion with his friends about the two-day march, a march against the legalization of Da Ma.

They're going to play big......

……

"Wow Wow Wow Wow ......"

Parker listened intently to the cry of the baby in the room, and when he mentioned that his heart finally fell to the ground, his father-in-law and mother-in-law thanked God excitedly, and Father Mack was preparing the holy water for the baptism.

"It's a boy and he's healthy. ”

The child was born at home, with midwifery help from a community doctor, and soon the doctor came out of the room and announced the good news.

"Can we go in?"

"Of course, but be careful, be quiet, quietly, and congratulations, Mr. Parker, we're going to take our leave. ”

Taking off the protective equipment and putting it in the garbage bag they brought, the doctors left, Parker and his father-in-law and mother-in-law nodded on their toes and quietly pushed open the door, in the room, the temperature was moderate, the sun was just right, Lisa's face was a little pale, and the baby with a wrinkled face and blood stains in her arms was in her arms.

"Let me see this little guy, thank God he's so cute, little ......"

As a grandmother, the mother-in-law leaned over for the first time and praised the child's cuteness, and even Parker's father-in-law, who always thought that he looked like a cold-blooded killer, stared at the child with a smile at the moment, and made a grimace from time to time, although the child was asleep and could not be seen.

"It's hard for you, it's painful, isn't it?"

Parker sat on the edge of the bed, gently arranged Lisa's hair, held it to her ear, and did not immediately look at this new member of the family who had just been born in the world, this gesture also made the mother-in-law and father-in-law quite satisfied.

"It hurts, it's like it's been torn open, but ...... It's fulfilling, like ...... Done the greatest thing in the world, don't you want to see him?"

She lowered her head, looked at the child, smiled softly, couldn't help but kiss the child, and hugged Parker's side, wanting the child's father to be close to him.

At this moment, Parker was very flustered, and he wanted to pretend to be ecstatic to show the other three, but his clumsy acting skills could not perform this scene in its entirety.

Eventually, he stretched out his finger, only one index finger, and placed it next to the child's hand, and as if he felt something, his little tender hand opened and gently held the finger inside.

"Do you feel it?"

LISA WINK, IT SEEMED THAT SHE WANTED PARKER TO EXPERIENCE THIS FEELING, THIS WONDERFUL FEELING, AND PARKER, INDEED, AS LISA EXPECTED, HE FELT ...... That sense of kinkness.

But this sense of closeness made his nose sour unconsciously, and for some reason, his eyes were misty.

"He's lovely......"

"Yes, my little angel. ”

"I've got something to do, Lisa, wait until I get back. ”

"Hey, Parker, where are you going, you're going to leave your wife and newborn baby behind, what the fuck! Where the hell are you going!"

The father-in-law was a little angry, but he couldn't stop Parker from leaving, and the priest was carrying the holy water to wash the child properly, and when he saw Parker leave without looking back, he was stunned for a while, and then shook his head and walked into the house.

……

"Parker, you just had a baby, do this...... Not appropriate, right?"

Old classmates from high school gathered together, and although they had wine glasses, they couldn't take their mouths, and kept dissuading Parker from drinking anymore.

"It's okay, I'm happy to have a baby, so can't I drink some wine?"

"You should go back to accompany Lisa and the child at this time, this is Lisa's gentle personality, if it were me, the old lady would have to come and beat you with the placenta. ”

One of the female friends took a sip of wine, expressing a woman's dissatisfaction, the same woman, she can empathize with Lisa's feelings now, a little angry, change to someone else, marry her own sister, and then do this kind of thing, she can crack open the human brain, eat his brain as jelly, but no way, Parker is also her buddy.

On the contrary, the male compatriots understand Parker's state very well at the moment, with a child, there is a burden, and this world is sinister, what hardships will this child encounter in the future, everyone also has a premonition, as a father, bringing a child into the world, it is tantamount to pain, which they also have a kinship.

"Parker, I understand your thoughts, raising a child is not easy, and you will have to worry about your child in the future, but you shouldn't continue to drink in this situation now. ”

"It's not easy, what's not easy, it's just that the expenses have become a little bigger, and I can't afford it, and there is a childcare fund, it's not a big problem, waiter, please have another drink." ”

"Don't drink it really. ”

"Why? I'm afraid I can't afford it? Do you know why wine is so cheap, because we need cheap wine...... The country needs cheap liquor. ”

Everyone couldn't stop him, and it was not good to force him to stop, so they could only wait until he was drunk, and in fact, it didn't take much to drink, and then everyone helped him up and drove Parker home.

When he returned home, Parker was already drunk into a mess, his friends looked at the child, and pulled away his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were so angry that they blew their beards and stared at them, that at this moment, there were only two adults and one small person left in the room.

The child had just finished drinking milk and slept soundly, and the couple also returned to bed, Lisa looked at Parker on the left and the child on the right, couldn't help but sigh, lay down, and turned off the lights in the room.

Until the middle of the night, she heard the faint sound of footsteps, woke up from her sleep, did not turn on the light for the first time, in the dark room, by the faint light of the moon, she saw, a sharp knife that flashed with cold light......

It slowly lifted, the tip of the blade downward, aimed at the infant child, Lisa also nervous, grabbed the quilt with both hands, began to breathe rapidly, tears could not help but flow.

"Whew...... ......Shh Call...... Woohoo......"

The knife-wielding breathing was very heavy, like a dilapidated sealed box, and he could hear it, and at this moment, he was also suffering from huge mental torture in his heart.

A drop of liquid flowed through the blade of the knife, condensed on the tip of the knife, rolled it with enough weight to break away from the attached tip of the knife, and finally rolled off and fell on the forehead of the baby, who had been born for less than twelve hours.

He began to cry, loudly, but still unable to hide the sound of the sharp knife falling on the floor, and the sound of the man's breathing, and at that moment, Lisa sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the child was still crying.

"I can't do it...... I'm sorry, I can't. ”

Parker sat on the ground, hiding his face and weeping, blood running down his arm, past his elbow, and falling to the floor, gradually expanding in size.

Under the illumination of the bedside lamp, Lisa leaned on the head of the bed, biting her lower lip, sobbing quietly, the child in the crib, crying loudly, on the floor, Parker kept apologizing, hiding his face and crying silently, and the crying of the different moods of the family of three was reflected in the eyes of the audience.

The distance of the light also causes the child to be in the brightest area, Lisa's light is the softest, and Parker is hiding in the shadows, this movie scene has become the best classic shot in the minds of many movie lovers.

……

"I really can't do anything to my child, even if it's the first day I've known him, and the closeness of the blood makes it hard for me to hurt him, and even if I know that if I let him live, I'm hurting him. ”

"But I can't give an answer to the reason for my breakdown, what am I crying for? for my cowardice or so-called fatherly love? for my children?"

"I don't know. ”

"But there are only two possibilities, I am worried about the child's life later on, I am afraid that the pain he will experience later will make him question me and ask questions that Lisa is also afraid to answer, or I am afraid that I will be imprisoned for at least two hundred years on charges of murder of the child, choose one of the two, and the answer is in it. ”

"But the child is still alive, and fortunately he is still alive, so this question no longer needs me to give an answer. ”

……

"I can't control my emotions anymore, I must rush to the front and make my demands to ZF!"

A young man stepped on the desk, with the momentum of throwing his head and spilling blood, held up the board that had been made for a long time, causing the other young people to also surge with enthusiasm, and their eyes flashed with determination to do a big job.

Jason, too.

The group set off from the school, and as soon as they left the school gate, they took out the board newspaper in a grand manner, and did not care about the eyes and opinions of others, as if they were afraid that others would not know.

"Dididi!"

A series of horns attracted the attention of the group, a red Ferrari 720S stopped in front of the children, and the glass of the co-pilot car was lowered, revealing a beautiful and delicate face, so delicate that all the boys couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Then, the person in the driver's seat poked his head out of the passenger window, revealing a face that Jason didn't want to see, and with a sense of scrutiny, he looked at the people around Jason and smiled meaningfully.

"Hey Jason, why are you going? You should be out of school, right? Let's go out for a coffee?"

"No Chris, I'll have something to do later......"

"To the parade?"

"Hmm...... That's right. ”

After getting the answer, not only did Chris hold his forehead and shake his head with a wry smile, but even his female companion covered his mouth and chuckled, but in the next second, Chris's face became serious.

"Jason, I've always regarded you as a friend, even if I haven't seen you for a long time, but I still remember my childhood friendship, I want to ask you, do you still regard me as a friend?"

"Sort of......

"Then don't go, you don't have to go. ”

"I have. ”

"For what is the righteousness of the heart? or for some ideal world?"

"Well, I hope there will be justice. ”

Look at each other, for a long time, until Chris picks up the paper cup and drinks the drink inside, the straw can't suck the liquid in the cup and makes a rattling sound, and puts it back on the armrest cup holder.

"Good luck Jason, run fast when the police come, don't get hurt too much, and remember to say hello to your father on my behalf. ”

The V12 engine burst out with a whopping 860 hp, and the piercing and blood-boiling roar rang out, and the monster, which accelerated to 100 km/h for 2.9 seconds, instantly ran and disappeared after a few seconds, only for Jason to hear the sound of backfire.

"Cut, the children of rich families never want the world to change, because this is their ideal world, let's go. ”

The child next to him complained dissatisfiedly, but Jason listened to it in his ears, did not speak, and everyone continued to move forward, taking the subway, arriving at the square, merging into the flow of people, and the crowded crowd gave them the determination to win, so they raised the board and shouted to the sky.

"Poison gives birth to demons, destroys souls, destroys brains, rejects the legalization of big hemp! The long life given by Mr. Heya is not for sucking!"

The crowd gathered more and more hot, and the people's anger became more and more vigorous, and the children did not disperse, and crowded towards the front with all their might, until they saw the police who were maintaining order on the edge, and they angrily fired at the police.

"Mr. Policeman, will you suck your child big hemp!disgusting capitalist lackey!"

"Maintain order while selling du's goods? That's how you safeguard national security? We are taxpayers! It's the wages we pay you! What do you do to protect us? Are you conscious of addicts! Or the guns in your hands after flying leaves!"

"Do you want to fly leaves? I've got it! Buy it from the supermarket at a clear price! Look at it! You can buy it when you're eighteen years old! Go back and give your kids a try! Bastard!"

A bag of blades of grass was taken out of his pocket by his companion and thrown directly on the policeman's blast shield, instantly ...... Jason shuddered, and a sense of foreboding came over him.

Many cans-like items were thrown into the crowd, making a popping noise and emitting choking smoke, and the crowd began to flee, screams of pain and screams surrounding Jason's ears.

The strong water rushed directly into his face, like a strong man's full slap, directly slapping Jason to the ground, and then he was greeted by a rubber baton.

"Are you throwing something!

"Let go of me! I didn't throw it! Release me! You broke my bones!"

"I'm only allowed to reply to me, yes, or no! I'll ask you again!Is it something you threw away!I'll break your hand if you struggle again!I'll tell you!You're finished! You're done with your life, man! You're in big trouble!"

He was pressed to the ground, still struggling, the police did not spare their hands, several sticks were whipped, the pain hit, and even a stick hit the back of his head, and then, he only saw countless double images, people's panicked footsteps, hearing also disappeared, and the final picture, staying in the other two partners, was also pressed to the ground and handcuffed.

……

"I have informed your guardian, I want to inform you, congratulations, you have successfully cheated your parents' salary for a year to bail you out, and they will come later, and after signing, you can go. ”

A policeman sat in a chair and stared at Jason, who was still dishonest as he sat on the interrogation bench, his hands cuffed.

"Why? I didn't make a mistake! The march is legal, so why should I pay a fine?"

"Why? Didn't you attack the police? Without you, would it cause a riot? Attacking the police and disturbing the law and order of the procession is not a crime?"

"I didn't throw that bag of hemp!"

"How do you prove that you didn't throw it away? You should be glad, child! You are just a child under the age of eighteen! Your mistakes will not be recorded in the file, and they will not affect your future studies and work, otherwise you would have let you go so easily? You should be glad that you are still three months away from becoming an adult! Otherwise, your life will be ruined because of this incident! Just like your classmates! Do you want to see what they are like? I'll let you see!"

He tugged at Jason's collar, opened the stool and table, entered the temporary detention area, picked up the rubber baton and banged the iron door of the detention.

"Boom Boom ......"

After a loud bang, there was still an oppressive silence, and there was no sound, and Jason looked in, most of his classmates were here, and they had just turned eighteen, but they stared numbly at the ceiling as if they were dead.

"We're still investigating, but the people here, he, him, and him, can't run, know why? Because they're adults, and they've just resisted, do you want to know what they're going to face? I guess you won't want to know. ”

He smiled indifferently, carrying Jason like a hunter carrying a captured rabbit, and this rabbit was sluggish, lost the ability to think, but instinctively fearful, trembling hands and feet, unable to stand steadily.

"Kolos, the child's parents are here. ”

A colleague notified the police, and he just carried the emaciated Jason all the way to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Parker, and in front of Jason, took the salary that Parker and Lisa had worked hard for a year.

After signing and leaving, Lisa takes him to the car, leaving Parker talking to the police at the door of the police station.

"The bail is a real thing, I can't give you a refund, that kid is probably scared enough, go back and comfort him, Parker, seriously, the parade is too dangerous, don't let Jason go again, when he is an adult, he won't have such good luck." ”

"I know, this time I also worked hard for Kolos, I taught him a lesson, I hope he can teach him a lesson, and when my work is done, I have to have a good drink or two." ”

"Meaningless, when I first met Jason, he was not as big as my shoes, but I didn't expect to see him for the first time after being transferred back, it was actually in the police station, what the hell, alas, when he is sensible, I will apologize to him. ”

"...... the three children?"

"It's really over, it's also true, it's not like when we went to the parade, now the control is very strict, these three children come out, except for the lowest level of manual labor, basically no company will want them, they won't apply for people who are against them as employees. ”

"Well, then I'll go first, and I'll have to teach him a lesson when I get home. ”

"Say less, this blow is too big for the child, don't say that the good friend is finished, the dream is shattered is a huge blow, few people can realize it so early like you, give the child a little more tolerance, okay, I still have something to do here, you go first." ”
