Chapter 444 Good and Bad
"Go to the South District." Li Zitao got in the car and asked the driver to drive the car to the South District.
No one in the car spoke, Eric bent down and lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Zitao.
He is also thinking about what to do about this matter, should he just give up on Eric?
Then his life is really ruined. Although there is no blood relationship between them, they still have feelings for such a long time.
He is too eager to integrate into his own culture, and Li Zitao can understand.
It's just that the blacks at this time really have no future, and they will at least have sports in the future.
Now, even the doors of the sports world are closed to them.
Whether it's baseball, hockey, American football, or any other sport, there are no black people in it.
In addition to doing the most menial work and earning a lower income than others, only sidelines and crime are their way out.
The car gradually drove into the southern district. The muddy and potholed road made the car bumpy. There were rows of dilapidated houses on both sides, and black people squatting at the door with nothing to do.
Weeds surrounded their house, and the walls were covered with black and greasy dirt. There were also children squatting in the grass and pulling something, and in surprise, they picked up a bug and stuffed it into their mouths.
Seeing a convoy coming in, everyone around stood up, eyes of greed, jealousy, envy, anger, and hatred cast from everywhere.
"Raise your head and look out the window." Li Zitao suddenly said, making Eric raise his head and look out the window.
The tears on his face had dried up, and when he saw all kinds of compatriots outside the window, his eyes kept changing, sometimes enlarged and sometimes shrunk.
While feeling sad for these people, Eric also thought about his past life.
Living in no fixed place, fearful, what he hears most every day is gunshots, and what he sees most is dead people.
The bullying and beatings in the orphanage, these past images flashed in my mind.
"Okay, go home." Asking Shen Dong to drive away, Li Zitao looked at Eric and said, "Do you want to live a life like this?"
"No." Eric's answer was low and forceful, with grievance and anger.
"Then you should be clear about what you should do and what you shouldn't do." Li Zitao said calmly, "This is not a threat, but advice. Who do you think those white noodles are sold to? While you are helping someone, How many families have been destroyed?"
For any "minority" in the United States, no matter what kind of business it is, the first thing to hurt is its own people.
Because other people don't care about you at all, even if you want to sell something like white flour to white people, people will still suspect that your product is not good enough!
The car drove away from the South District quickly, and the stagnation in the air gradually weakened. When entering Hollywood, the brilliance of feasting and feasting made the air mild again.
Back home, Eric rushed back to the room without saying a word, and Mary, who was waiting for news on the sofa, stood up and looked at him questioningly.
"Let him calm down." Li Zitao sighed and sat on the sofa.
It is tiring to deal with this kind of thing, and I am worried that he will learn to be bad, and I have to consider the fragile heart of the child.
Sure enough, children are the natural enemies of adults.
Now Li Zitao has completely forgotten, he said before that the child is an angel! ! !
"Compared to Rabbit Country, there are too many temptations here." Li Zitao rubbed his forehead and thought to himself.
"Honey, I want to tell you a piece of good news." Seeing his heavy expression, Mary curled her legs up on the sofa and whispered close to his ear.
"Really?" Li Zitao's expression turned excited in an instant, and he held his wife's hand excitedly.
"Well, the doctor has checked it, and it is a healthy baby." Mary looked at him with a smile, her inner joy and excitement were no less than his.
She is pregnant.
"As I said, that night was a lucky night." Mary wrapped her arms around his shoulders, her tone was as gentle as a girl's, and she leaned on his chest relyingly.
"Yes, that's right, lucky night." My wife is pregnant, so it's not just what she said, just listen obediently.
"You should go to bed and rest now, and ask the medical staff to look after you tomorrow, and you are not allowed to run around anymore." Li Zitao hugged her domineeringly, like a princess, and strode towards the room.
"Hey, you can't restrict my freedom, ha, don't make trouble..." The laughter in the room lasted for a long time before it finally calmed down.
Holding his sleeping wife in his arms, Li Zitao put one hand behind his head and looked at the ceiling happily.
At this moment, his heart has long been filled with joy. Whether he is willing to admit it or not, whether he is related by blood or not, the feeling is completely different.
He wants a little princess who is well-behaved, obedient, and close to his father. He takes her around every day, and the more he thinks about it, the more beautiful he feels.
It's just that Li Zitao's head is as big as a cow when he thinks about education. How did other people's parents raise their children up.
What if she was bullied? What if you are excluded? What if someone hurt her with jealousy?
What if you can't stand the temptation and learn to fail? if...if...
The wife who was tossing and turning made a 'hum' sound, which made Li Zitao calm down instantly, and fell asleep in a trance with a messy heart.
When he woke up in the morning, the worry was much less, or he thought of a way.
If someone dares to bully her, I will stuff the golden python into his mouth...and smash his mother's ass.
When Li Zitao packed up and walked out of the room, Mary was standing at the top of the stairs and shouted to the second floor: "Eric, come down for breakfast."
"What happened?" Fia asked worriedly.
The atmosphere has become very weird since yesterday. Eric has locked himself in the room since he came back, and he didn't answer no matter how he called.
"It's okay, just a little trouble." Li Zitao smiled while holding her hand.
thump, thump.
Eric came down the stairs, dejected and looking like he'd been up all night.
"Charlie, Mary, I'm sorry." Eric sat in his seat and said in a timid voice.
"We forgive you, as long as you really realize your mistake." Mary rubbed his head and said.
"I see, really." Eric nodded seriously.
"Starting tomorrow, you'll be doing public service on Barrington Avenue after school," Mary announced.
"Okay, I'll go." Eric nodded.
"Okay, let this matter pass!" Li Zitao thought what he said was true. He realized his mistake and understood the seriousness of this matter.
Eric has been doing really well, he's not that bad boy, hopefully this goes away and he learns from it.
After breakfast, Eric and Fia went out. The car was already waiting outside the door. They would pick up Norma at the apartment below and head to school together.
Mary also began to prepare for today's family dinner. The Roosevelts will arrive at the manor at noon to celebrate his official nomination by the party and become the presidential candidate.
