"Who''s outside?" Mrs. Bain rolled up her apron, wiped the drops on her hands, and walked curiously towards the door of the house. The Bains are also upper class families in Orlando, better than the middle class, but worse than the real upper class.
Mr. Bain previously worked in the state medical education management office, and later transferred to the newly established Transportation Bureau to temporarily serve as deputy director. Some people say that Mr. Bain offended the governor or other important people, so he was demoted to the new Department of transportation. It seems that changing from a staff member of the office to a deputy director is a promotion, but everyone knows that the medical education management office manages the medical and educational institutions of the whole state, and its power in these two fields is amazing.
Even a staff member has a strong force in this field. At least the owners of those institutions need to go through Mr. Bain if they want to do something they have not done before. As a principled staff member, Mr. Bain did not act as holy as a priest, but at least did not let some projects that should not be passed through.
Mrs. Bain didn''t say anything about changing her job, but she still had some complaints in her heart. In the past, as long as it was a holiday, someone always came to the door with gifts. They don''t accept expensive things, but Mr. Bain never refuses those cheap gifts. Now that she has just changed her job, those who came to the door with lipin in the past immediately disappeared. Mrs. Bain still doesn''t adapt to the cold atmosphere on the weekend.
She listened to the doorbell, thinking that the gift giver should have come, with a smile on her face, and stroked her hair on her temples a little, which opened the door. To her surprise, there was someone outside the door, but not the gift giver, but her daughter. The hypocritical smile on her face melted for a moment, and then a sincere smile appeared. She immediately took Alisha''s hand and welcomed her in. By the way, she took the heavy luggage from her hand.
"I told your father in the morning that if you don''t come back, we''re going to see you in tenell next weekend.", Mrs. bell put her luggage on the edge of the shoe rack in the door, went to a pair of slippers for her daughter, looked at her daughter with a smile and nodded, "Yes, I''ve lost some weight, but I''m more energetic and look good. The whole person looks a lot more mature. I don''t agree with you to work in other places alone, but it seems to be helpful to your growth."
Alisha reluctantly smiled and took Mrs. Bain''s hand into the living room. The quiet and empty living room also gave Alisha a little doubt. You know, when she came back at the weekend, the house was full of people, but why are there so few people today?
Mr. Bain put down his newspaper, took off his black edged eyes and put it on the table with the newspaper. After looking at Alisha up and down at the beginning of the film, he nodded slightly and patted the sofa around him. "Just now your mother asked you how you thought of coming back at this time? It seems that you are very tired. Have you eaten in the evening?"
Alicia also has a younger brother. The boy is now studying in the university she once wanted. He seldom comes back on weekdays. Maybe her children are not around. This time Alicia doesn''t feel the suffocation that makes her unbearable after she comes back. She sits quietly on the sofa, her relatives are nearby, and suddenly has an impulse to cry. That sentence is full of The caring greeting tore the shell she had not easily cast on her way back.
Tears like broken balls of thread fall down one by one.
Mrs. Bain just wanted to ask something. Mr. Bain stopped her with his eyes. After Alisha cried for a while, he asked, "what happened?"
Alisha shook her hair, raised her head and smiled with tears. "I quit my job and don''t want to go again."
The expression on Mrs. Bain''s face became a little stiff. As a passer-by, she naturally knew the reasons for Alisha''s doing this, just a few. With Alisha''s character of running out to work alone, if it''s just a simple grievance, I''m afraid she can''t run home with her luggage and cry like this. It must be something related to men. Mrs. Bain moved to Alisha and held her hand. "Are you in love?"
When she asked this question, she really hoped that Alisha would deny her guess. Although people don''t pay special attention to chastity in this world, one more film and one less film are basically equal to two different married lives. No one likes to use second-hand goods. Even in this open society, does the upper class family have that when they marry The lamina represents the future status of women in the family, so Mrs. Bain wants her daughter to give her a negative answer, but unfortunately, Alisha''s silence acquiesced to her words.
Mrs. Bain''s hair seemed to stand up. Mr. Bain stopped her again and asked, "do you like that man?"
Alicia nodded a little blankly, but she felt that it was not love, just a kind of... Unwilling?
Looking at her confused eyes, Mr. Bain breathed a sigh of relief. He was not very worried about his daughter''s loss. Compared with the wife who always wanted to climb up with big people, he felt that it might not be a good thing as long as she could live. Rich families have their troubles. With Alisha''s personality, she may not tolerate her husband''s flower heart, but flower heart is almost all upper class men A problem we all have to face.
The inclination of social resource inequality makes these men face more temptations, from the same class and from the middle and lower classes. These women may not all want to take the place of the main room and enter the rich family, but their existence can always be disgusting, at least Mr. Bain doesn''t like it. Many of those decent people have done things to flirt with other women in front of their wives, and Alisha can''t stand it.
Rather than that, let her marry an ordinary middle class.
"If you don''t like that man, why cry for him? Whether you left him or he left you, isn''t this the best result for you? If you like him and still love him, go to him and make it clear. If you don''t like him or love him, let yourself go.", Mr. Bain took out his pocket watch and looked at him, "Put your things away, take a bath and have dinner later." he patted Alicia on the back of her hand, smiled and said, "welcome home, boy!"
After what Mr. Bain said, Alisha felt much better. After thanking Mr. Bain, she apologized to Mrs. Bain, and then ran to her room upstairs with her suitcase.
After hearing the sound of closing the door, Mrs. Bain complained, "you shouldn''t say that. I was going to introduce Alisha to little Donne. Last time he said he wanted to see Alisha, but now I don''t know if I should do that!" , little Donne is the eldest son of Donne rod, who owns two shopping malls and a racetrack under construction in Orlando. He is a local celebrity in Orlando.
This guy''s ancestors were aristocrats. Although he lost his aristocratic status in his area, all the things that aristocrats should have are still preserved. Some people say that Donne is an aristocrat without a title, which is popular in Orlando.
Mr. Bain glanced sideways at Mrs. Bain, laughed and shook his head. "That guy''s private life is too messy. I don''t want my daughter to be wronged."
Mrs. Bain hummed twice. "Anyway, it''s cheap to others in the end. Why not choose a good one for her, which is also beneficial to us? Cannon will develop better in the future!"
Cannon is their son and Mrs. Bain''s most valued child. She gave cannon almost everything she can take out, hoping that he can make achievements. However, it''s a pity that this guy can go to college not because of his good grades, but because the president of the University recruited that guy into the school in the face of Mr. Bain, and regretted it For a while.
Seeing that Mr. Bain picked up the newspaper again, Mrs. Bain mumbled a few words and got up to cook. Although she was unhappy, Mr. Bain had made a decision after all. As the pillar of the family, her income all depended on Mr. Bain''s contribution and her status was also supported by Mr. Bain, so Mrs. Bain could only complain and could not really do anything.
After the sumptuous lunch, the atmosphere between the three people was a little better. Alicia also heard about her father''s transfer to the Transportation Bureau. She didn''t know much about this. Under Mrs. Bain''s explanation, she only felt that it was an out of class department. If it was just a complaint between the husband and wife, Mr. Bain could say that she didn''t exist, but in front of his daughter Mr. Bain wasn''t happy when his career went down.
"Do you think the transportation authority is an authority without power?", Mr. Bain put down his knife and fork and made a rare collision between tableware and dinner plates, "You can see the great ambition of Mr. margus, the leader of the new party? What a stupid housewife! You open your eyes and look at the traffic that almost never stops on the street outside. What do you see?"
Before Mrs. Bain could answer, Mr. Bain asked and answered himself, and his voice became more and more high, "It''s power, idiot, power! All cars running on the road, good or bad, no matter who sits in them, will eventually be managed by the Transportation Bureau. I know there will be many big people here, but can they be bigger than the party leader Mr. Maggs? No, they can''t, no one can, so what else do I need to fear?"
