0201 Home, Family, Family
In the dimly lit room, a family of three sat at the edge of the dining table, the radio was rattling on the wall table not far from the dining table, and a somewhat distorted female voice came from the speaker that was about to break, and it was audible that it was an opera.
Eating the same dinner as poop and tasting dozens of dollars a bottle of good wine, this feeling...... It's hard to describe.
Not long after Lynch finished dinner, Nell picked up a spoon and scooped a large spoonful into his mouth, and as he ate, he asked, "So, what are you here to do, and to taunt us as we used to be?"
Nell showed his aggression right away, this is his territory, his family, and no one can interfere with his domination and control of this family.
In many culturally diverse countries, people think that the social and family relationships of the Federalists are at a loss for what to say, just as the Federalists look at people in other countries.
Culture is the most important part of social composition.
When he was a child, whenever Nell was angry, Lynch would feel a great sense of stress and fear in the face of a landslide and tsunami, and the angry Nell was like a volcano about to erupt.
He was younger, stronger, and more dominant at the time, and looking at it now, it all seems to have changed.
Nell became less intimidating, and for the vast majority of children, it probably meant they grew up, but to Lynch, it was something different.
"You're old......", he shrugged his shoulders and looked at Nell, "so let's not get angry, keep calm and rational and talk, I'm not here to trouble you, I'm not here to see you jokes, I'm just coming back to see you." ”
Lynch hid Serra's phone call, and Nell didn't have a habit of domestic violence, but if he said it, it would make Serra's situation not very good, so he hid it.
"I heard when I was chatting with Sierra that you lost your job, do you have any new plans?", he looked at Nell, who lowered his head and silently dealt with the food on the plate in front of him.
Lynch had a little more smile on his face, "Come on, you can think of me as an acquaintance, a friend, isn't that what we often say?"
There is a profound and meaningful saying in the federal education community - parents are children's best friends.
This statement is also recognized by society as a whole, and it plays a key role in the current promotion of education and family and social relations in the Federation, if we ignore the criminal acts caused by family problems.
Nell quickly ate the contents of the bowl, and he scraped his fingers along the edge of the spoon where he was not using force, shoving some of the rest of the food into his mouth along with his fingers.
Then he picked up what was probably the best wine he had ever drunk, swallowed it in one gulp, rinsed his mouth, and swallowed it along with the scraps of food.
Lynch kept looking at him, and then he looked up at Lynch, "Yes, I'm unemployed, do you want to give me a job, do I want to call you Boshi like everyone else?"
This may be Nell's last dignity as a father, and even with him, he can't help but want to taunt Lynch.
Lynch doesn't have too many expressions that are too rich, in fact, with his real age, these things still look a little funny.
As someone who is good at persuading other people, he can do it with little to no brains against a guy like Nell.
He didn't refute or agree, but directly digressed the topic, "A lot of people have been unemployed recently, Katherine, do you remember, her father is also unemployed." ”
The topic quickly made Nell find a sense of identity, and Sierra picked up the topic in a timely manner, "I know, your girlfriend, is his father also unemployed, this is terrible!"
Lynch nodded, "I discussed it with her after I found out about it, and I arranged a job for him, and I recently set up a transportation company, you know, it's the kind of warehouse and trucks." ”
Warehouses and trucks have been the most desirable jobs at the bottom of society for a certain period of time, because no matter which one you can enter, as long as you can get in, it means a stable income, and this income is not too small.
When he heard this, Nell couldn't help but complain, "I know that guy, he's stupid and can only do some dirty work, what kind of job do you give him?"
"Administrator, this job is not difficult, just keep a record of some things that come in and out, and by the way, watch those workers and don't let them take what doesn't belong to them. Lynch replied lightly, as if it were a very indifferent thing.
Serra looked at Nell, and in a short period of time the couple had completed an exchange in a way that no one could understand, and then she said, "He is definitely not as good as your father, and you know that he has always been the best, both at home and in the factory." ”
Lynch smiled, and there seemed to be some kind of ...... in his smile Roughly so playful that he looked like Nell, "He now calls me Boss (1)." ”
Nellton became a little annoyed, "I won't call you Boshi!"
Lynch slapped his face, "Then it's decided, I'll give you a job, but you won't call me Boshi!"
Nell was stunned for a moment, the two looked at each other, his face suddenly turned a little red, and then he suddenly stood up, put down the excuse of "I'm full", and quickly returned to the room.
After closing the door, Nell walked over to the bedside table and pulled open the drawer, which contained a picture frame with three smiling faces in the photo.
Outside the room, Sierra was already full of smiles, and she took Lynch's hand, not knowing what to say.
Lynch is his child, but she wants to thank Lynch, and Lynch patted the back of her hand, "Don't thank me, this is what I should do, we are a family." ”
Lynch didn't leave at night, and the streets outside were very unsafe when it was completely dark, but surprisingly he felt at ease living here.
This may have something to do with the fact that the people on the street understand that the people who live here have nothing to do with their families, so they never think about taking more than 10 years in prison to rob a poor person's family, and facing a rage that might make them unable to eat and walk around - according to research studies, rich people are more cooperative with intruders when they encounter burglaries, and poor families tend to fight back desperately.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, I was sleeping in my own somewhat short bed, and when I was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Nell poked his head in after knocking on the door, he looked at Lynch lying on the bed, and shook the half bottle of wine in his hand, Lynch knew that he wanted to ease the relationship.
Soon the father and son were sitting in the living room, bathing in the night, watching the TV full of snowflakes and the not-so-funny shows.
There wasn't much deeper communication between father and son, just a simple lifting of the glass, putting it down, and putting the half bottle in the stomach.
The next morning, Lynch patted his head and got up, the Bailer Federation's liquor filling standard allowed each bottle to have a minimum of 680 milliliters and a maximum of 760 milliliters, and he was still a little uncomfortable after drinking so much wine at once.
Looking at the watch on the desk, it was almost ten o'clock by this time, he slapped his face to sober himself up, and when he came out of the room, Nell was already sitting on the shabby sofa watching TV.
Compared to Lynch's playfulness and hangover, the stuff Nell drank last night didn't do anything to him like water.
Father and son looked at each other for a moment, then looked away from each other, but Serra could keenly feel that the relationship between the two had eased considerably, which made her very relieved.
In fact, I haven't seen each other for two years, except for a little strangeness, where can there be many contradictions?
Lynch is doing well now, Nell is just unwilling to admit defeat in his mouth, in fact, he is also proud in his heart, which is the most real situation for almost all parents.
On the one hand, they are strict with their children, and on the other hand, they are proud of them.
"Do you want to eat at home at noon?", Serra asked, if they ate at home at noon, she would go buy some beef, last night's meal was a little too shabby, and it was going to be more formal at noon.
Lynch shook his head, he woke up much later than he expected, "No, I'll go to the company with Nell and give me your bank account, I'm an adult now, and I have a reason to cover some of the family's expenses." ”
Yes, according to federal regulations, Lynch is twenty years old, he is finally an adult, and there may be some people who can already run away at his age, but it doesn't matter, this is allowed by law.
Serra hesitated, and Nell said impatiently, "Give it to him, it's time for him to do something." ”
After getting the bank account, Lynch said goodbye to Serra, he did not give Serra a check, and in poor areas, the appearance of checks is not a good thing.
Because cash checks require a security deposit, a check for twenty dollars is often backed by hundreds or thousands of dollars, and transfer checks mean the normalization of huge transactions, which is full of temptation for those who have been driven to the edge of the cliff.
Lynch would transfer money directly to Serra's account so that she would not attract attention when she went to withdraw the money, after all, the homeless people on the street had bank accounts, and it was normal to deposit and withdraw money.
A short time later, an inconspicuous car appeared on the side of the road and then left inconspicuously, it was a community service company car.
The last time Lynch drove his car to Catherine's house, causing a lot of trouble for her family, this time he got smarter.
As he sat in the car, Nell asked, "What job are you going to give me?"
"I have a plot of land on the outskirts of the city, and I have a small construction company that is currently short of a manager. Lynch smiled, "Do you think the job of manager is quite satisfying?"

(1), the word Boss is actually a tribute to the early translated films, the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan originally directly transliterated "boss" into "boss", and the dubbing will also be dubbed with "boss" instead of "boss", which is the breath of the times.
