Chapter 165

"Boss, you've got two people on the watch."

With the cold air on the wharf, Qin wine got into the car, while Su Ming closed his eyes with his glass.

"I guess Rogers and Barnes?"

"It's the boss, as you said."

"Very well. Take down your home address and we'll go together in a few days." Su Ming finished his drink and turned to look out of the window: "is there any news from Africa?"

"Not yet, boss. The country named vacanda you mentioned does not exist. No one has heard of it, let alone know where it is..."

Qin Jiu feels guilty for its bad work, but the people below have done their best.

"It doesn't matter. Take your time. As long as there is something, you will find it if you look for it patiently."

the young Steve woke up from hunger. In his dream, he was eating a cake with beautiful cream and fruit, but he did not know why, the more he ate, the more hungry he became.

The empty stomach made him feel pain. The burning stomach acid made him wake up from his dream.

There was no cake and no food. He just bit his pillow, full of teeth marks and saliva.

Like his father, he only ate a piece of bread today. There was only a little flour and potatoes left in the family, so he had to save.

It was midnight, and the glass of the window was covered with frost. It was cold outside, and even his cabin was not warm at all.

His family is not well-off. His mother was a nurse, but now she is unemployed. She can only sew and wash people occasionally to earn some change. She is very busy.

In today's world, even children know it's hard to make money.

He and his little friend, Bucky, didn't go to school again. They would sell newspapers in the street during the day. If they were lucky, they could only earn more than ten cents. More often, they would like to eat the newspapers to satisfy their hunger.

They met the man who ate the newspaper. There was an old beggar a few blocks away. He and Bucky saw that he had eaten a bunch of newspapers. The next day, they were dragged away by the police under a white cloth.

I don't know whether the cause of death was hunger or eating the newspaper, but he and Bucky were so scared that they could only hope that the paper could be exchanged for normal food.

Bucky's family is a little better. His father is more flexible than his own father. Sometimes he can find some temporary jobs, so his life is a little better, but it's only a little better.

In order not to feel hungry, Steve wrapped himself in a quilt and began to think that maybe his father or himself could find a good job.

But the brain is out of control. He always thinks of the cake in his dream, even if he can eat a cherry decorated on it.

At this time, he heard the door ring. It was his father who came back. The apartment building they lived in was very simple. The sound insulation did not exist.

When the door opens in the middle of the night, all the neighbors can hear it.

He heard Uncle Tom talking to his father in a low voice, but both spoke very fast and looked very happy.

"See you tomorrow, Tom."

"Ha, see you tomorrow."

His father closed the door and turned around with his arms in his arms, but in the dim moonlight, Steve was seen walking out of his room wrapped in a quilt.

"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

He began to take out what he had in his arms. There were dozens of squares wrapped in brown paper, which were the food sent out by the group, including hamburgers and sandwiches.

When Tom unbuttoned his shirt, it was like two people in his mind to take something out of his pocket.

Although these foods are cold, stuffed into the arms, people shiver, but their hearts are hot, this is hope.

The only strange thing is that although they have worked on the dock, they are not boatman. Why are they assigned to the office of the shipyard?

But this question has disappeared in front of the food, and they can't think about anything else after looking at the food hills transported by several large trucks.

They can only think about how to bring more home.

"I... I just woke up to the sound."

Steve looked at the paper bags and wondered why his father came back in the middle of the night with so many things.

"Oh, I'm hungry. I'm coming back with food." Joseph grinned, picked up some paper bags and handed them to him: "add some coal to the stove and heat them up before eating, or you'll have diarrhea."

Steve took the paper bags, which were almost as big as his head. He had a serious illness when he was a child. Although he is better now, he is much thinner than his peers.

He smelled food through the paper bag, maybe beef, and cheese sauce and tomatoes."Dad... Where did this come from? Have you done something... Bad? "

The food was wonderful, especially this winter. He knew that although he was a child, the people who jumped out of the building last month would not avoid him.

"Why do you think so?" Joseph took all the food out of his arms and hung his coat on the hook behind the door. He squatted down and touched Steve's head with his cold hand. "I told you that you should always be an honest man, and the more difficult it is, the more you should stick to it."

"And the food?"

"Ha ha, it's a gift from the new boss to our employees. Not only me, your Uncle Tom, but also a lot of uncles you know also brought food home. So you don't have to keep the things in front of you for Bucky. Eat them at ease."

"You got a job? Great

Steve settled down and quickly threw his quilt on the sofa. In his pajamas, he began to stir up the stove again, adding coal, not only to heat the food, but also to heat a pot of hot water.

"Yes, I found a job." Joseph got close to the fire and stretched out his hand by the fire to keep warm. After walking home from the dock with his arms in his arms, he walked for nearly ten kilometers. His hands were white with cold, but the smile on his face remained the same: "a good job, in a shipyard."

"Then we'll all have something to eat, right?" Steve looked at his father with expectant eyes.

Joseph opened a paper bag and revealed the hamburgers inside. It was thick bread with a large hamburger steak. He put the hamburgers in a tray and baked them against the fireside. The fire lit up their similar faces.

"There will be food to eat in the future. After a few days' pay, you and Bucky can go to school again."

"I can work, too. My mother is not well." Steve shook his head. He didn't want to go to school. Many children his age didn't go to school.

He has grown up to support his family.

"No, my new job is well paid and I can buy a lot of food." His father twisted his head to himself and said seriously, "Tom and I have discussed it. He is very unhappy that Bucky picked up the pocket watch from the dead man that day, so we will send you back to school in a few days. You are not allowed to run around these days. You should study your lessons at home

"The man jumped down from the upstairs and almost hit us. We were scared, and the pocket watch rolled up in front of us. We didn't think about anything else. Bucky just picked it up subconsciously. We didn't touch the body..."

Joseph rubbed his brow. Whether it was looking for the body or not, it was not the scene that children should see.

Don't mention their son, he and Tom were walking in the street when suddenly a corpse fell in front of them, red and white everywhere, and both of them were about to spit out.

But the two children were all right at that time, and they could run away. Was it because the cruel reality cast a shadow on them? It's really not a good time for children to grow up.

"Listen to me, Steve, if you want to be a capable person, useful to our country and society, there are many more than our poor families. You have to go to school to learn knowledge that can make everyone live a happy life. This is what you should do at your age."

"All right, Dad." Steve nodded. Although he didn't understand much, he understood that we should read books.

"Good. You look at the food. I'll call your mother."

Joseph stood up on his knees and walked back to the bedroom, while Steve's eyes fell from the greasy burgers to their wrappers.

Against the red flames of the furnace, the kraft paper is orange with a huge black w in the middle.

He picked up the paper and smoothed it in his hand. In the light of the fire, he saw a line of small letters under the symbol.
