"Ding……"

The hand had lost its strength, and the chopsticks fell, hitting the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound, then spinning in the air, and finally fell to the ground, stained with dust invisible to the naked eye.

"how come……"

My parents were once DINKists and had never thought about having children, at least not before their lives were extended. However, as they grew older and witnessed the fruits of their friends’ love being born into the world one by one, their persistence was shaken. , finally after their lives were extended, they decided to become parents for once.

Therefore, Parker's parents are much older than the parents of his peers. While the parents of other peers are still in their prime, they are already facing retirement life.

Rebirth is a very distant word for Parker. There are not many rebirth homes today. Only a few cities have built them to provide for those who have lost hope in life and want to die.

He never thought that his parents who had just retired would have to face all this. The leisurely old age life was about to begin, the pension insurance was about to start, and there were still many things that had not been done, especially since he was only 17 years old. How could they be willing to leave like this? How could I be willing to let them leave?

"Parker, we won't leave like this. There are not many death homes at present. The city's death homes have just started construction, and the number of people who have signed up has already exceeded 10,000. According to the reservation, we can accompany you at least until you grow up. After you graduate from school, find a suitable job, and meet a girl you like, we will stay with you until that moment, and we will not choose to leave until your life is stable."

My mother did not lie. The number of people choosing to die is increasing rapidly. There are too many people who are disappointed with this world. No matter what the reason is, they just don’t want to live anymore and have no motivation to maintain their breathing, so they put The right to die is given priority to those who are desperate.

But that wasn't the result Parker wanted.

"I'm full. Let's go upstairs first."

He couldn't listen to anything anymore, and he didn't have the strength to support him in listening to his parents' reasons for going to the afterlife, even if they had enough reasons to do so.

Just as timid as he was in the square, he ran away again, ran upstairs, locked the door, and buried himself in the quilt, as if he wanted to drown himself before he dared to cry at the top of his lungs.

"This is all too bad... I have no choice. I have really tried my best. He is still so young. I really don't know how he will live in the future..."

Parker thought he was hiding it well, but crying under the covers was not the best way to isolate the sound. In a wooden-structured room, all his emotions could be transmitted to his parents' ears.

This series of events made my mother sad and unable to hold back her tears, and my father didn't know how to comfort her, or in other words, he wanted to join the crying ranks.

The camera no longer shows the parents' faces, but pans to the right on the small bar in front of the kitchen. There is a stack of newspapers spread out on the bar, proving that it has been read by others. The front page headline is asking the parents to The real reason for the decision.

“According to relevant laws, the country has introduced a new old-age retirement policy, which will increase the economic consumption tax for retirees between the ages of 60 and 120 who are now retired but enjoy a 120-year retirement pension policy. The insurance amount will be increased by 30%, and the cost of death will also be increased soon.”

This is why they choose to die. Rebirth requires a large deposit, and the price is not fixed and will continue to increase. If they do not pay the fee now to make an appointment, they may not be able to leave when they really want to. That left more property for Parker.

…

"Parker, it's time to eat."

In the early morning, her mother had already prepared breakfast, and the room was filled with the fragrance of food, but Parker did not respond to her mother's calls. Perhaps she was worried that Parker would do something stupid. Worried, she walked upstairs and pushed away Parker's door. Room.

The room was empty, and there was no place to hide. Although the bed was messy, it could no longer feel human body temperature. The mother could only sigh, spread the bedding, and turned to leave without forgetting to close the door. .

…

Parker came out of home very early because he didn't know how to face his parents, even though he knew full well that their lives were counting down.

He didn't want to be like this, and he also wanted to cherish this time that they had already decided how long they could spend together, but maybe he was angry in his heart. This thought was suppressed in his heart, and he didn't know when he would be able to release it.

"Everyone below, stay away!!"

A shout came into his ears. Parker followed the conditioned reaction and immediately raised his head and looked towards the top floor of the high-rise building. Then he saw a man climbing over the fence and standing on the edge of the roof, and jumped down without hesitation. With a heartbreaking sound of bones breaking, he fell in front of Parker.

The person was completely flat, like a beef burger fried on an iron plate. It was smooth without any fluctuations. At this moment, Parker was confused until another person fell from the place where the man jumped just now, snap. With a sound, the two of them overlapped and turned into a Big Mac double-decker burger.

After squeezing, the blood spurted out from the meat pie and splashed all over Parker's body. The rich smell of blood stimulated Parker to wake up, causing him to temporarily lose control of his bladder. It flowed down his trouser legs, mixed with the blood on the ground, and flowed towards the nearest manhole cover.

"My child, are you okay? Oh my god..."

"Are you okay, kid? Get out of here! Maybe someone will jump down. Damn it, I don't even know how many people have jumped down from here in the past few days. It's so damned."

The passers-by were kind and forced Parker to leave. For more than ten minutes, he was questioned repeatedly, but his throat seemed to be locked and he would not leave without saying a word.

The police arrived and the fire brigade arrived. Parker said nothing, sitting by the flower bed and watching the firefighters shovel the man and the woman into the coffin with a shovel.

"Child, where do you live? I'll take you back, take a good bath, and pretend nothing happened."

Parker is now resistant to the word home. This resistance finally allowed his words to break through the door lock, and he spoke his first words to the police.

"I'm not going home."

…

Twenty minutes later, he appeared at the school gate. In full view of the public, covered in blood, he was sent to the principal's office by the police. He was then taken by the principal to the school's public bathroom to clean his body, and was finally sent to the hands of the school psychologist. superior.

It is difficult for most psychiatrists to change a person's mind using only verbal therapy, but it is not difficult to simply provide psychological counseling. Although Parker is destined to leave psychological trauma because the two people died in front of him, But for now, he has gotten rid of the fear of blood and corpses, and will not be filled with random thoughts. As for whether he will have nightmares at night, that will happen after leaving school.

The principal contacted Parker's parents, who would rush to the school in forty minutes to an hour and a half and take Parker home for recuperation. He was placed in the school chapel, under the protection of Jesus, waiting for his parents' arrival.

"My child, pray to your Father in Heaven, and He will bless you to escape from the shadows and enjoy a peaceful sleep every night."

The priest had finished his daily prayers, confessed to Jesus the sins he committed yesterday, and asked Him to protect himself today. After Parker entered the church, he comforted him, and then turned around and faced the man who was suffering on the cross. The father confessed the truth and prayed for this poor innocent child.

Finally, after touching Parker's head, he turned and left, leaving Parker alone, staring blankly at the ceiling, watching the angels flying in the colorful glass. At this moment, he seemed to have seen the Kingdom of God.

"Parker, Parker? Are you okay? I heard something happened to you, are you not injured?"

The door that the priest had left open when he left was pushed open. Lisa poked her head out and saw that there was no one in the church, so she stepped in and looked at Parker who was in a daze, her eyes full of worry.

"I'm pretty good……"

"Fortunately, thank God...your parents will be here to pick you up soon, right?"

"Um……"

"That's good, have a good rest at home. We are all waiting for you to cheer up again. There will be a parade in a few days, and everyone is gearing up for the big show..."

"Sorry Lisa, I will not participate in such activities in the future."

"What?"

"I will never participate in parades again, it's meaningless."

At this moment, Lisa really suspected that Parker had been frightened. This was not surprising. Two living people were smashed down like this, and he was bleeding all over. It would not be easy for anyone else.

But thinking about it in another way, this is actually a life that is worth celebrating. At least he was not affected and died without being a teenager. This is a blessing in misfortune, but why, I see it in his eyes Less than a hint of brilliance? It was like he had been taken away by those two people.

"Why?"

"Because it makes no sense, not at all."

"But we are doing the right thing, are you so willing to become a screw?"

"When your parents retire, you will understand that we are destined to be ants crushed by the wheels of history, and prisoners pulled by the chariot of the times. The direction is always in the hands of the person holding the reins. What we do is nothing more than a mantis using his arms as a chariot. .”

"Buzz...buzz..."

The phone vibrated twice, and Parker took it out and took a look. On it was a text message from his mother.

"Dad and I are waiting for you at the door. Pack your things and we'll take you home."

All the things he needed when he went home to rest were ready and put them all in his schoolbag. He only took some teaching materials. As for the superhero comics that could save the world, he had already thrown them into the trash can.

He stood up and wanted to leave until Lisa called his name again. When he came to his senses, a pair of slender arms hugged his neck, and then her soft body got into his arms and gave him a belt. A sweet kiss that smells of orange.

"Everyone thinks we're a couple, even me. You've been weird today, so I hope I can cure you, Parker. I hope you can get your energy back. Even if you don't go to the parade, I just I hope you can "come back to life", listen Parker, I like you, so after you go home and rest, come back full of energy."

This was the first kiss in his life from the object of his admiration. It finally touched his mind, but it did not make him wake up. Instead, he became even more flustered.

"Okay... I think, maybe... I will, okay, I will."

"Okay, I'll send you away."

Pushing Parker to take the lead, Lisa, who was blushing now, turned her head and crossed her hands into fists, hoping that her faith could forgive her for doing such a frivolous behavior in such a solemn place. After praying, she caught up with him. Parker's footsteps took him to the school gate without any hesitation. He said hello to Parker's parents and watched him get in the car and leave.

"She is very beautiful and cute. Maybe you can invite her to our home and try the cookies I made."

The mother seemed very happy. She was sitting in the passenger seat and kept looking at Parker's expression with the reflector. Parker was not surprised by the supportive and tolerant attitude of his parents. For boys and girls of this age, eating forbidden fruits has become a common occurrence. In love, If you don’t enjoy it at this age, after passing this village, there really won’t be any shop like this.

"Well, let's talk about it..."

In response to Parker's ambiguous answer, his parents just looked at each other and smiled, and did not interrupt Parker's thoughts. They just let him lean against the car glass and stare at his class until he could no longer see it.

…

"It wasn't until much later that I realized the true meaning behind my parents' smiles. It wasn't the smiles of joy and ambiguity after learning that their son was in love, but more of a sense of relief from the bottom of my heart."

"That's not right. The time to truly feel at ease has not yet come. They still need to get along with each other, and then they can make a conclusion about Lisa after getting familiar with her, and consider whether she is suitable for me."

"Not only before marrying a daughter, they must carefully consider whether the boy is worthy of their trust. The same goes for sons marrying wives. They must also consider whether the girl is worthy of their trust and whether she will hurt their sons again. The decision is made after consideration. The result is trust, and now they're just happy to have a candidate."

"They are going to die. Everyone knows this, so they are so eager to find someone who can become a strong rope to bind my desire to commit suicide. They are afraid that when I have nothing, I will choose death or a lifetime. Alone and alone.”

"They want me alive and I know that."

"After all, even though life is hard, there are rewards."

…

"Shh, keep it down, Jason is asleep."

After lighting up the wall lamp at the door, Lisa found Jason lying on the sofa, already sleeping soundly. She turned to Parker and put her finger on the corner of his mouth before gently taking off her high heels. However, when she discovered the bruises on the corner of Jason's mouth Finally, he frowned slightly, smiled relievedly, and said to Parker.

"He looks so much like you."

"It doesn't sound like you said that. Make him a bowl of ginger soup. You also know how cold the water gun is."

Lisa was busy in the kitchen, while he took a break, sat at the dining table, lit a cigarette, suddenly stopped and shook his head and smiled. This scene was very similar to him sneaking home after participating in the parade.

Lisa left a portion of the steak she cooked before attending Nelson's party for Jason. He could eat it after reheating it, but the broccoli on it was no longer green and the taste probably wasn't that good either. So, after all, he still Can't go back to the past.

Perhaps startled by the sound of pots and pans, Jason woke up and hurriedly got up from the sofa. When he saw Parker sitting at the table, he unconsciously covered the wound on his face, but found that his parents did not care about the wound. After expressing his gratitude, he finally put down his palm and sat down at the dining table with some anxiety.

"Let's eat."

"Oh, okay...Dad, Grandpa Nelson..."

"He died, but he died well and got what he wanted. He will be buried tomorrow. We will attend his funeral together. Let's eat first, take a bath quickly, and go to bed early."

This was the answer Jason had expected, and he had already acquiesced to the fact that he was leaving, but his mood dropped again, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"He is a good man. He always takes me to play and helps me with my homework."

"We all know he's a good guy."

"So I would rather hope that he dies in bed surrounded by his relatives and closes his eyes peacefully, rather than passively seeking death because he has to die..."

"Jason, no one will die in bed. Stop talking and eat."

The meal was tasteless, and even the spicy ginger soup didn't taste choking. Jason put down his rice bowl, took a quick shower, and entered the room early to turn off the light.

Lisa finished washing the dishes and started to wash up, leaving Parker alone in the living room watching TV quietly, until Lisa leaned against the wall in a bathrobe and threw a square plastic package at him.

"Let me see if you're really back to health?"

"Okay...wait until I finish watching this TV segment?"

"OK, don't forget to take a shower, I'll wait for you in bed."

Without forgetting to wink, she walked towards the master bedroom. When closing the door, she deliberately pulled off her bathrobe to expose half of her fair shoulders, and then closed the door.

Come on, the talk show is boring. After watching it for less than fifteen minutes, Parker put the plastic bag in his pocket and walked to the bathroom. As soon as he opened the bathroom door, Jason poked his head out.

"Why are you not sleeping?"

The old couple has been an old married couple for so many years. Although it is not a routine matter, it is not burning with desire. They glanced at their son and were so calm that they could not see any clues.

"I just couldn't sleep thinking about Grandpa Nelson. Dad, is adult life really so hard?"

"It's harder than you think."

"All right……"

"Perhaps you should quietly drink two glasses of wine an hour later to ensure sleep. Don't drink too much. Remember to clean the glass and go to bed early."

He is not old enough to drink yet, but now there are too many children who secretly smoke, drink, and even fly leaves. The original law prohibiting underage drinking is now ineffective and has no deterrent effect.

Parker was glad that his child was very well-behaved and not as over-the-top as other children. It didn't hurt to drink a little occasionally. It was just a matter of being exposed to it early and he would have to learn it in the future.

He was just worried that Jason would vomit on the ground after drinking too much and forget to clean it up. As a result, if he was lingering with Lisa tonight, his ears would be pulled and scolded tomorrow.

"I see."

"You have to get up on time tomorrow morning and remember to wash your face well."

This was his last advice to Jason tonight. Finally, he retracted his head and returned to the bed, wondering whether the wine tasted sweet or not, and Parker also closed the bathroom door.

…

"Jason is very much like me and his mother. At this stage, his heart is full of the sense of justice that this age group should have. But maybe times have changed, or maybe we have inadvertently influenced him after working for many years. As a result, his temperament is not as strong as we imagined, and is even more fragile."

"We have no objection to him going to the parade, just like our parents would not stop us from participating in that kind of event back then, because we know that it is very safe. Apart from suffering some physical pain, everyone can still go back safely that day. Home."

"Unless you attack the police who are maintaining order, or damage facilities, and fail to escape, the police will not arrest you, and they will not be able to catch you, let alone their future prospects because they participated in the parade. .”

"So the march is more of a way to vent, rather than a means of justice, to stop these rebellious and energetic teenagers from committing illegal and criminal activities elsewhere."

"I knew Jason wouldn't attack the police or vandalize public facilities, so like other parents, I let him go, and the harmony in the family really improved, and when they got home, they Becoming the kind of well-behaved child that parents want will not cause headaches for us who are busy with work.”

"It's just the self-denial and vulnerability that may be inherited from me. It's a hidden danger that I have to be alert to at all times."

…

For nearly a month after returning home to recuperate, Parker had nightmares every night. Sometimes he dreamed of someone falling from a high altitude, and sometimes the person falling from a high altitude was himself.

Whenever those people lay bloody on the ground, or a leg fell off the bed, he would always be awakened, but he was unwilling to communicate this fear with his parents. Yes, there was still a gap between them. .

A lot has happened in this month. First, the school held final exams and had summer vacation. Parker also took the exam and got good grades. His ranking went from the bottom to the middle. This also made his parents happy for a long time. .

Secondly, he moved away from the place where he grew up. Maybe his nightmare for a long time was also related to bed recognition, but this was not all bad, because the house his father rented was not only very close to the school, but also close to Lisa's house. It's very close, it only takes about ten minutes to walk, which greatly facilitates the two people's commuting.

Lisa occasionally visited the house and had a good chat with Parker's parents. She even began to ask Parker's mother for advice on how to make Chinese food and cookies. Naturally, Parker's mother was very satisfied with this.

Finally, it is a big deal. Since the number of suicides has been rising in recent times, the government has also taken corresponding measures to prevent more people from taking their own lives.

A device known as a health bracelet has entered the market and is distributed to the public for free. It will detect your heartbeat, blood pressure, blood sugar, body temperature, cardiopulmonary function, and even mental state, and a series of hundreds of items, large and small. Test report, even if you don’t want to wear it, the community doctor has the right to notify the police to force you to wear it.

It is said that the bracelet also has a monitoring function. Once the brain secretion of dopamine decreases and the human body enters a state of depression and says something that should not be said, it will automatically call the police and the police will knock on your door within two minutes. However, this The function has not been officially confirmed.

This invention quickly took effect. It only took the patrol police 45 seconds to complete the process of arriving at the scene, breaking down the door, briefly treating the person who cut his wrist, and notifying the hospital. This series of processes successfully saved a life.

The media sang praises for this, threatening that in the future there would no longer be tragic incidents of elderly people living alone dying in their rooms without being discovered, and leaving a trace of regret to the suicides so that they could feel the sense of life when their lives were about to pass away. of preciousness.

But is that all?

Subsequently, laws were promulgated one after another, officially including suicide as an illegal act and a major crime. To put it simply, if the person is saved, he will go to jail, and if the person dies, he will be fined.

Measures were introduced one after another, which suppressed the large-scale occurrence of suicide incidents in a very short period of time. The number of daily suicide incidents dropped in a cliff-like manner, infinitely close to zero.

All people who are desperate for life should think carefully about whether they can bear to go to prison after a failed suicide, feel that their lives have been extended again, and engage in long-term hard physical labor until they are released from prison penniless. kind of price.

Don't think that two hundred years is the end of your life. Do you want to die? I let you live to be three hundred years old, or even longer. This is a nightmare for most ordinary people.

However, this incident has little impact on the Parker family. After all, his parents have made an appointment to die, and it will probably not be carried out until Parker is twenty-five years old. Since he already knows his death date, he will naturally be greedy for the scenery of the world.

For Parker, he had just experienced the beauty of love and received the blessing of his parents. As he tasted the sweetness of this world, he was naturally reluctant to leave, let alone leave before his parents.

They still get up very early on holidays, gather around the dining table, turn on the TV to watch the latest news, and mechanically chew cereal that has no flavor, like buckwheat husks.

Until the phone rang, my father glanced at Parker, picked up the phone, clicked on the speakerphone, and took the lead in saying hello to the other end of the phone.

"Good morning Mr. George."

"Good morning Kevin, we will arrive at your door around ten in the morning. We will also need you to formally sign a construction contract. When can you arrive?"

"I can go there now. Can I bring my wife and son with me? After all, it holds all the memories of our family of three. It will be gone from tomorrow, so we want to see it again."

"Of course. Before you sign the construction contract, you are still the owner of that house, and you have the right to do so. That's it. We'll see you on site then."

The father hung up the phone, glanced at Parker, and saw him drinking the last sip of milk. He asked his mother not to wash the dishes in a hurry, and they put on their shoes together, took a car, and headed to their former home that truly belonged to them.

The old house where the family has lived for decades, in Parker's impression, should be beautiful and clean, and should not be in such a state of decay. It has only been more than a month since he left, but it seems as if fifty years have passed. Even he himself had the illusion that he had not been back for a long time.

The swing in the courtyard was faded, the weeds were as high as ankles, and green moss grew on the stone steps, making them slippery if not careful. The three of them helped each other to the door. The moment they opened the door, they could see it under the sun. It is easy to see dust floating in the air.

After a month, the dust was not too thick, but some bastard saw that the house had been emptied, and threw a stone at the window, smashing the entire glass. As a result, the house is filled with water when rainy days come.

The floor became leathery and furry, and the smell of moisture hit your nostrils. It became a home for insects and bacteria. His parents were still sighing, but Parker lost the desire to look at it. He instinctively did not want to see his home like this. Desolate, he returned to the yard, straddling the swing, swaying gently, and the rusty swing creaked.

"Parker! Look what I found!"

Mother suddenly shouted, smiling brightly, waving the comic in her hand that Parker had forgotten where he had thrown away. The cover had many creases, and even the corners were moldy. There was a picture on it wearing a red and blue tights. Man wearing a mask hanging upside down from a lantern.

This is his father's favorite superhero, and it was also Parker's childhood. As a child, Parker had to read Spider-Man comics for half an hour every night with his mother's company before he could fall asleep. However, as he grew older, other entertainment activities increased. , the hobby of reading comics can only be used to kill time during class.

"I found it in the cupboard. You used to sleep with it every day when you were little."

Parker took the comic from his mother and flipped through a few pages. Suddenly, memories came flooding back, allowing him to remember the rest of the plot and even most of the dialogue even after several years.

This comic is no less than a treasure to Parker. Even though it has begun to become moldy and damaged, it is very memorable and gives him a sense of joy in finding it.

His father's cell phone rang again. He answered it but quickly hung up. Soon, several bulldozers and trucks came from a distance. Parker understood that the destination of these vehicles was his home.

After the father signed, the demolition staff distributed protective clothing, masks and goggles to the family of three to prevent damage caused by dust and debris.

They stood far away and watched quietly until the iron ball easily smashed through the wall on the second floor, destroying and disintegrating Parker's bedroom. At this moment, the three of them seemed to feel the iron ball hitting themselves.

The word home means too much to Chinese people and cannot be measured by money. Even though Parker is not fluent in Chinese and has never been there, it does not affect the emotions he expresses towards his parents. Feel the same.

The wooden structure of the house was easily knocked down by machinery. In just over an hour, their home was turned into ruins, and all the memories related to it were destroyed.

Tears overflowed from the eyes, playing with the dust in the air, and then fell to the ground, being absorbed by the soil, waiting to be evaporated at a certain moment, until they rose to the top of the clouds and mist, gathering with the tears of others, and when the clouds and mist were overwhelmed, they shook off the tears Leave it alone, and eventually they will return to their owners, and the cycle begins again.

So this downpour is not the tears of God, but the sorrow of mortals.

Parker held his parents' hands until trucks drove away from their home and staff informed them they had to leave.

Nothing can maintain family unity better than the grief caused by losing a treasure that the whole family regards as a treasure, so at this moment, some of the barriers stuck in Parker's heart were dissolved, and he accepted the fact that his parents were leaving, even if he I don't want my parents to make this choice.

Now, he just wants to spend more time with his parents while they are still alive, be a good boy, and find a good job in the future, so that he will have no regrets and will not let them leave without worrying.

In the following years, he no longer participated in the parade, even if he had conflicts with his original friends, he concentrated on studying, and his grades steadily improved, and he was with Lisa.

The relationship between the two is also very stable. They have the same interests and hobbies, and rarely have conflicts. There is no bloody third party involved, and their parents do not interfere. Even though they were not in the same school during college, the distance has not had any impact on their relationship. After graduating from college, both parties found fairly good jobs and got married as quickly as possible, becoming the first married people among their classmates.

A happy life and a harmonious family were a life that others could envy. Parker once thought that this happy life would last for a long time, but one weekend not long after, a phone call broke the tranquility of the morning.

…

The soft mattress shook slightly, and Parker glanced sleepily at the bedside. Lisa was drinking water. Seeing that Parker had woken up, she smiled apologetically.

He turned over and buried his head between the folded pillows, like a child lying in bed, ready to take another nap, but a hand passed through his belly, passed through his elbow, and finally rested on his chin. Gently stroking the rough stubble that grew overnight.

"When I first met you, you had not shaved, and in a blink of an eye, your chin felt like sandpaper."

Lazy, he turned over and held her in his arms. Feeling the warmth of the body in his arms, he took a deep breath and was fascinated by the warm smell in the room at this moment and the soft sound of the mattress springs. He joked said.

"So is it good or bad?"

"Why should we distinguish between good and bad? This is the change brought about by time, which makes you mature and makes you more...sexy~"

After twisting Parker's butt, she drilled into Parker's arms. When their noses touched together, she could feel the coldness on his nose. She rubbed his hair with her cheeks and hummed softly in comfort. , she liked Parker's hair very much, it was soft and had a smell that she didn't know how to describe.

"What's for breakfast?"

"You eat whatever I do. My wife will never reveal the recipe to her husband."

"Okay, dear madam, I will eat it this morning..."

Before he could finish speaking, his hands directly reached towards Lisa's ribs and started scratching her. She had always been afraid of this. Once her ticklish flesh was touched, she would laugh non-stop. She didn't panic until the phone rang. Put your arms around Parker's neck.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, I'll answer the phone."

The bright red lace nightgown was a little messy, but even more sexy. She flicked the hair hanging by her ears, stretched her long white legs out of the bed first, clamped the slippers between her toes and closed the distance, and put her feet into the slippers. , she stood up, stretched out her index finger to point on his forehead, and pushed Parker, who had sat up, back onto the bed. She bit her lower lip lightly with her tiger teeth and winked.

Walking to the landline, she picked up the phone with her right hand, put her other hand on her chest, and shook her body slightly. The sling on her left shoulder slipped off, revealing her fair shoulders. She knew what she would encounter after hanging up the phone, and she was looking forward to the morning. With the first drop of sweat, she leaned against the closet, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked directly at Parker, beautiful and fiery.

"hello..."

"Yes, we just got up..."

The fingers wrapped around the phone cord paused and hung down feebly. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and turned into an unspeakable feeling for Parker. He turned his head away and looked out the window. His left hand ran through the hair in a panic, pulling out the curled hair. Smooth.

"Okay, Parker and I will be there in a minute, okay."

He put the phone back on the phone and lowered his head. His blond hair shone dazzlingly in the sun. Parker was a little confused about this. He leaned on the bedside and put his hands on his chest, expressing doubts.

"Parker, listen, I just hope you don't get too excited. Mom called just now..."

"What did she say?"

A shadow crossed his mind, and he threw the condom aside. His body no longer needed support, and he sat up straight, looking straight at Lisa.

Taking a deep breath, Lisa felt like she was blowing up a very good quality balloon, forcefully expelling the air from her chest, and even her cheeks puffed up. Finally, she lifted her hair and informed Parker of the fact.

"Huh... Mom and Dad are going to die tomorrow."

In an instant, he was on the ground. He didn't even put on his slippers. He rushed directly to the closet, rummaged for clothes, only put on his pants, and strode towards the door.

"Parker!!"

…

His head was pressed against the car window, and his eyes were a little dull. He felt the vibration of the vehicle, which made his ear holes itchy, but he was too lazy to pick it. Lisa held the steering wheel, her eyes were full of worry, but she said nothing. He just stretched out his hand with the diamond ring and covered Parker's hand, passing on his body temperature to him.

The diamond was not big, less than one carat, and the platinum ring was made of poor material, but it held great weight in her heart and was so heavy that it weighed heavily on her hands.

The two still live in the residence where Parker was in high school, while Wang Hui and his wife have moved into a house built at the original address. There is some distance between the two places. Even though Lisa drives very fast, it still takes an hour and a half to get there. arrive.

The car stopped. At this moment, Parker was like a walking zombie. Without the energy he had in the morning, he pressed the elevator and stared at the floor display.

She carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on her husband's clothes, folded his collar, and even rolled up his trouser legs twice before standing up and looking into Parker's dull eyes.

"Parker, listen to me, cheer up, okay? Mom and dad don't want you to be like this, at least not so lifeless. You need to reassure them, OK?"

"I try my best."

He wanted to smile, but his plan failed. After learning the news, he had lost the ability to control his facial expressions. He waited until the elevator door opened and knocked on the door.

"Coming so soon? Come in quickly."

The mother opened the door and smiled at the two of them. The moment they opened the door, the two of them smelled the aroma of food. In front of the dinner table, it was not just the husband and wife eating as they had imagined. Instead, there were three guests sitting there. A lot of fun.

"Hey Parker, Lisa, how are you? Lisa, you're getting more and more beautiful."

Nelson originally had his back to the door, but when he saw the two people arriving, he turned around and put his hands on the back of the chair. His face was slightly red, and there were still bright red wine drops on his white upper lip and beard.

Parker couldn't laugh, so he could only nod and say hello to his wife and daughter. He looked around the room. It was still clean and tidy, but the couple's daily necessities had been packed up and piled up in the corner.

Lisa handed her mother the formal attire she would wear tomorrow, and after a friendly greeting, she immediately put on an apron and went into the kitchen to help her mother with the last dish that had not yet been finished.

"You haven't eaten yet? Wash your hands and come over to eat. Nelson has brought a bottle of good wine. Can you try it?"

The father's mental state was normal. It seemed that he was happier than usual because of drinking. The father and son looked at each other for a long time before Parker answered.

"..."

"good……"

After washing his hands and taking a seat, Nelson shook the decanter. The scarlet liquid created beautiful waves in the decanter and remained on the wall for a long time before slowly joining the large amount of wine at the bottom of the decanter.

After pouring him a glass, Nelson started, and the three of them raised their glasses. A crisp collision sound occurred. Parker drank all the wine in one gulp. The smell of alcohol was still there, so he did not exhale immediately and held his breath for about three or four seconds. Seconds later, he took a long breath out.

No one cared about the way he drank, nor asked him about the taste of the wine. He was here to get drunk. Everyone knew it and didn't say a word about it.

Nelson and his father got along well with each other, and they started communicating frequently when they first moved here. For this old gentleman who is not rich, having a foreign friend allows him to listen to interesting stories from other countries. It can indeed gain a lot of knowledge. Unfortunately, this friend will go to heaven tomorrow.

So at the dinner table, the two old friends tried their best to find happiness in the last moment, while Parker drank half a bottle of red wine and a whole bottle of whiskey without saying a word, holding a cigarette in his mouth, occasionally flicking the ashes, but said nothing. hair.

The party did not last long, and ended forty minutes after Parker arrived. Old Nelson put on his suit, his eyes full of meaning, patted Parker, and left with his wife and daughter, spending the rest of their time together. For the young couple.

"You shouldn't drink so much."

"I can get up tomorrow morning."

"But it hurts the body too much."

"It doesn't matter once in a while."

Mother and Lisa were washing the dishes in the kitchen and just listened to the conversation between father and son. However, Lisa felt that Parker's attitude was a bit stiff and glared at Parker with some dissatisfaction. However, Parker did not notice and asked. Father.

"Why did you tell me today."

"You have only been working for a short time. We cannot affect your working status. It is very difficult to do the work nowadays. If you make the slightest mistake, you will easily lose your job."

"But I will still be affected at work after tomorrow."

“Everyone has those days.”

"you are selfish."

"Parker..."

The father waved his hand to Lisa who was dissatisfied. He knew very well that at this moment, father and son, life and death, were on opposite sides. Whose child would be unhappy if he had any filial piety.

Staring at the cigarettes on the table, he picked it up and lit one for himself. He had quit smoking before longevity genes were popularized. He just wanted to indulge at this moment. He opened his mouth and inhaled a little, and the smoke came in with the air. Lungs, if you can't hold it back, you will cough out.

"Tobacco is so strong now. Phew... from your point of view, I am selfish."

He didn't say the rest of the sentence, but even if he didn't say it, Parker understood what his father meant. From his own point of view, his parents didn't notify him until the day before his death, catching him off guard. This was indeed selfish, but from his perspective, From the father's perspective, it is even more selfless.

Parker didn't speak, but didn't want to look at his father's face anymore. He silently picked up the glass and took a sip of the whiskey diluted after the ice cubes melted. The taste was no longer spicy, but rather fragrant.

However, after taking this sip of wine, all the alcohol in his body was completely detonated. In an instant, it began to overflow, and he began to lose consciousness. He was very sleepy. He stood up holding on to the edge of the table, staggered to the sofa, lay down, and covered his ears like a bell. He put the cushion over his head, trying to isolate himself from the world, but it had little effect.

He wanted to escape, and didn't want to feel that time was still passing by before his parents died, but all this was just self-deception. He could still hear his parents' conversation, and still felt guilty for his cowardice. In the end, he fell asleep, but it was a pity that he had no good dreams. long.

…

Late at night, his stomach began to churn, accompanied by a burning pain. He just turned over and woke up. He opened his eyes hazy and saw someone sitting next to him, but the room was too dark and he couldn't see who it was.

"Lisa...?"

"It's me, honey, do you need some water?"

"Have some, if you can."

The water temperature was just right, not too hot to drink, nor too cold to irritate the stomach. The warmth soothed the discomfort in the stomach, making Parker groan in comfort.

"what time is it?"

"It's just after midnight, let's sleep a little longer."

Lisa lay down on the other side of the sofa, put her arm around Parker's shoulders, and patted him gently, as if comforting a lost child, making him feel sleepy again.

"I know you're sad...but I'll always be with you."

"Thank you Lisa."

"This is what I'm supposed to do Honey."

The room became quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the even breathing of the two of them. I don't know whether it was expressing his true feelings or murmuring after falling asleep, but he said something vaguely.

"Lisa, I have no parents anymore..."

There was no response, just a slight sniffling sound in the room.

…

Early in the morning, at five o'clock, his parents changed into formal attire and greeted their passing with dignity. Parker and Lisa were busy in the kitchen, preparing the last breakfast for their parents. Suddenly the doorbell rang. He wiped his wet hands on his scarf twice and walked over. Open the door.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law, the neighbors Nelson family, and Parker's high school classmates and friends were all standing at the door, waiting for the door to open, and gave Parker a warm hug one by one.

It was not strange for Parker to see his father-in-law, mother-in-law and the Nelson family. It was only the arrival of his classmates that made Parker very surprised. He turned to look at Lisa. After getting her approval, he shook his head helplessly and entertained these The group originally broke up because Parker left the group, but after entering society, they bid farewell to their middle school mentality and got back together with their innocent friendship.

The last breakfast was Chinese style, otherwise there would be no need for Parker to help. After thanking the relatives and friends who were present, the parents sat down and were obviously a little surprised to see the Chinese breakfast. They looked surprised and praised the young couple. Under everyone's gaze, Next, I chewed slowly and tasted the craftsmanship of my son and daughter-in-law. I also answered other people's topics from time to time to keep the atmosphere from being too heavy.

Only Parker did not participate in any conversation. He just stood quietly at the door and stared at his parents until they finished eating, stood up and put on their coats. The group took the elevator in two groups and got into their own cars.

Set off.

Along the way, many passers-by stopped, looked at the convoy, and gave them enough attention. Today's afterlife has become a luxury, and it has become the only time that most people can enjoy before the end of their lives after working hard all their lives. Extravagant behavior.

The Birthplace is not far from Parker's high school, only three streets away. I remember seeing a motorcade going to the Birthplace when I was at school. Now that I pass the road that my parents must pass when sending him to school, I feel suddenly uneasy.

It has been a long time since he left high school, and his parents are about to leave him. When he enters the society, he has already understood how difficult and well-intentioned the decision made by his parents is, but time is like water running through his fingers towards the distance.

At first we hoped it would leave quickly, so the water wave pushed away our palms, the flow speed accelerated, and it disappeared without a trace. Until we remembered the coolness and gentleness it brought, and tried to look for it again, it had already rushed downstream. , poured into the sea called history, and became a memory that will not be recorded and only exists in our hearts.

Best fried chicken place around.

The old shoe store that sold him his first pair of sneakers.

In the cold drink shop downstairs of my mother's company, the ice cream made by the beautiful clerk is always extra sweet.

The railings at the park where I used to go with my friends when I was a child were rusty and broken, and could no longer protect the safety of the skateboarding boy.

Looking in the rearview mirror, his parents had smiles on their brows, maybe they were also missing him. He turned his head silently, wiped the corners of his eyes, and adjusted the channel on the car radio. The music channel he had listened to since he was a child was playing an old song. music.

Until the hospital for the dead, because he was the first one this morning, he didn't need to wait in line, so he went directly into the room that scared Parker. The staff with full protection pushed the cart in, confirmed the parents' identities, and took the two of them in. compartment inside.

"Parker, Parker...say something."

After entering the House of the Resurrection, a loud voice will turn into a good girl. There is always a disturbing atmosphere here, which makes people adjust the volume to the lowest. Everyone urged Parker, and he was pushed forward, separated by the glass. , face to face with parents.

The parents acted very calmly, and the calm staff glanced at them in surprise, but this behavior did not surprise Parker at all. He knew that his parents had been preparing for this moment for many years.

He put his hands into fists near his mouth and coughed. People could see that his hands were shaking and his eyes were looking at other places randomly.

"I will be fine... I will work well, treat Lisa well, and I will have a child in the future. I will give everything to him, just like you did to me, dad, mom..."

"Zi Qing, we are leaving. Are you scared if you are alone?"

"I...No God..."

He was nervous and afraid, so he talked nonsense, like an apology from a child who made a mistake, saying some confused words. His mother saw his embarrassment, and with just one sentence, he exploded a secret that had been buried in Parker's heart for a long time. tear bomb.

He couldn't stand this, he really couldn't stand it, so he turned around, covered his face with his hands, and whispered his faith, not wanting his parents to see his collapse at this moment.

His actions were not beyond the expectations of his parents. Zhizi Moruomu had already noticed his lack of strength. She smiled gently, looked at Lisa, made fists with her hands and twisted them under her eyes, making a crying gesture. , pointed at him again, opened his arms, and signaled Lisa to comfort him.

"I love you Parker. As a mother, I can never be by your side. No matter whether our lives are extended or not, this day will eventually come. In the days to come, you still need someone who loves you and guarantees yourself You must love her and take good care of Lisa, okay?"

"I know, I know."

"Lisa, thank you for your hard work. Is there anything daddy wants to say?"

The father looked at his son, smiled and shook his head. He didn't want to make himself cry, even though his eyes were full of tears now.

As a father with a Chinese education, he can only be a father, and it is difficult for him to become friends with his children. Until now, he still needs to maintain the image of a father. Once he opens his mouth, he will be discouraged.

"Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang, I'm ready. You two can lie down."

"Okay, please take care of my introverted son after we leave. He has caused trouble to everyone. Parker, my parents love you."

Bowing lightly and thanking all the relatives and friends for being present, the two lay on the cold iron bed, waiting quietly for their share of death.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang. You will feel an extremely strong sense of excitement later. This is a normal reaction. Don't panic too much. Please allow me to test your bracelet one last time to confirm your identity. The check is correct, Mr. Wang. Mrs. Wang, your tired and bitter life is over..."

"Welcome to the afterlife."

Check the personal information of the health bracelet one last time and remove it.

Injection of medicine...

Until death came, the two did not let go of their hands. In the hallucination, at sunset that day, Parker was playing on the swing in the courtyard. When his parents came home, he came forward to ask for the new Spider-Man comic.

The tender grass had just sprouted, and dragonflies occasionally landed on the tips. My father put Parker on his shoulders and pushed away the home that had not yet turned into ruins.

"Go home..."

"Well, let's make sweet and sour pork tonight..."

"beep…………"

"It's time to take Wang Hui and his wife home. I hope the couple will be by your father's side and be happy and healthy all day long."

"Amen……"

After pushing open the gate of the House of the Dead, the families queuing up behind them all stopped to take a look. Parker was the leader, carrying two body bags, and his other hand was holding a yellowed and tattered Spider-Man comic...

…

"After a period of time, I began to inexplicably hate the country I once yearned for. I no longer liked their education methods, and I no longer liked the attitude of selfless dedication after becoming a parent. This is very important to an independent individual and a person. It’s not fair to people.”

"It wasn't until much later, when I had children, that I discovered that I actually didn't hate this way of education. I still continued the teaching methods of my parents to teach my children, and I admitted that I was willing to dedicate myself to my children. Everything, this is out of responsibility, but also out of my love for him."

"The original displeasure and resentment were just the guilt caused by seeing the unexpectedly large balance in my parents' bank card when I inherited the inheritance."

"Only when we become parents can we understand how difficult it is to be a parent, and when our parents leave, we will understand what our parents mean to us."
