Blackstone Code Chapter 200: Festufis

Nell and his mates gather in a small, relatively isolated park, each clutching a bottle of beer and a chunk of fried chicken burger in the other.

Those are the reasons they're here, free booze, free fried chicken burgers.

This seemingly unhealthy way of eating happens to be most popular with the working class, who like this high-calorie food and who also need some energy to fill their bodies after a long day at work.

At this time, this kind of food is more attractive to them. When everyone is unemployed, everything becomes different. Their families rarely buy food and save money to cope with it. emergencies.

The food provided by the food rolls distributed by the city hall is enough for their daily life. Although they can't starve to death, they do miss the taste.

The people standing in the crowd are talking loudly about some seemingly profound truths. For example, what they lost must be taken back with their hands. The factory owners who exploited them on weekdays should take those things out of them at this time. The hard-earned money they squeezed was returned to them.

It's not that they want to do terrible things, it's that the society is on the verge of danger now that workers and factory owners should be one.

Usually, they endure the exploitation and oppression of the factory owners, but at this time, the factory owners should also help them, so that we can tide over the difficulties together instead of letting them get out.

The person also gave some examples. For example, in some industrial cities in the north, even if the factories are not running, the factory owners will pay the workers the minimum wage to help them get through the current difficult situation.

But look at their boss, who kicked them out the first time they faced difficulties, completely extinguishing their hopes.

"This is a battle of revenge!", the organizer roared loudly, roaring, his roar was indeed very provocative, and many people followed.

However, more people are still watching calmly. Workers are not criminals. Sometimes they do not seem to get along well, but in fact they are still a group of people who obey the law. Otherwise, they would not endure silently. All kinds of exploitation do not stand up and resist.

Someone suddenly interjected and asked, "Hick, are you kidnapping the boss?"

Hick was the organizer's name, and he didn't show too much aggression after hearing this, just shook his head, "Hey guys, listen, what I'm telling you now is not to let You and I go to crime, it's against the law, and we'll go to jail for it."

"Although I heard that chicken and beef can be eaten every day, but the taste of losing freedom is not very pleasant."

"What I want to do is to take back our part!" He once again turned his attention to the workers standing or sitting in the open space, "There is still a warehouse full of raw materials in the material warehouse, so we directly open the materials warehouse, continue production, and then take away what we produce and sell it.”

"I heard that the Interstellar Trading Company recycles all kinds of goods. We can sell these things at a relatively low price and use this part of the money to compensate for the ones he usually exploits from the outside world."

"The money is enough to last us at least until the end of the year!"

His voice is getting louder and firmer, "We deserve it!"

These words eschew the most direct criminal act, although it is still a criminal act, but it is much milder and easier to accept than serious crimes such as injury, kidnapping, and extortion.

Many people were tempted for a while. As factory workers, they knew how much the things they produced were worth. What Hick said was very reasonable. They just took back their share.

Thinking of how embarrassing life has been recently, even beer and fried chicken have become a luxury, and some bystanders have become eager to move.

The people around Nell put their elbows on him. This is his good friend. The two are still classmates. They started to work before they went to high school. According to federal law, child labor is allowed, but There are corresponding strict standards.

It wasn't illegal for them to work when they were fourteen or fifteen years old, which would relieve a lot of the burden on their families, which was almost the case in most families at that time.

The two went to school together, dropped out of school together, found a job together, and worked as colleagues until two months ago.

"What do you think, do we want to participate?"

Nell hesitates, he's a good guy and sometimes has a bad temper, but he's never committed a crime, which is the template for most men in ordinary families.

They are sometimes savage and rude. They seem to kill people anytime, anywhere. In fact, this is their disguise. Under that fragile disguise, they are actually ordinary people, and they will also collapse. will be injured.

He took a sip of beer from the bottle. The rich wheat aroma and bursting bubbles gave him a deep sigh of relief. It was the most comfortable time since he lost his job. "I'm not sure, Hick. He is from the union, and if the boss troubles him, the union will give him a head start."

He still didn't say a word, and the expression was not very clear, but the old friends around him understood what he meant, "We are also members of the trade union."

Nell shook his head and continued, "It's different, he's a real son."

To put it simply, Hick is a worker "assigned" by the workers' union to the factory, who is responsible for organizing the labor union in the factory and is also a representative of the workers in the factory.

He represented not only the workers in the factory, but also to a certain extent the face of the Sabine City Workers Union and the State Workers Union and the Federal Workers Union.

It's very different to say it, but it's easy to understand, that is, if he has an accident, there will be enough workers' union body to help him.

But if other people have an accident, they can only go to Hick, but this is not Hick's trouble. The workers' union will definitely give some assistance, but it will not help others like Hick.

"If something really happened, someone must be responsible for it. I don't want it to be you or me."

Nell finally made his point, but his friends thought differently.

"No one will pay attention to us little people now. Even if they want to make trouble, they will only look for that guy..." Nell's old friend raised his chin and gestured to stand in the crowd and continue to encourage others. hick.

"And it's a great opportunity, none of us know how long these days will last, we have to prepare for the future!"

In the end, Nell did not convince his old friend, nor did his old friend convince him, and this was the first major disagreement between the two since they met in first grade.

Disagreements on minor issues are normal, but this is the first of its kind, and eventually Nell leaves with disdain and hostility, along with others.

In the mouths of the remaining people, they became soft eggs who came to cheat food and drink, but they seemed to have forgotten the saying that Sigg organized everyone to come here, that is, to hold events and have free food and drink.

He doesn't know if his choice is right or not, and he doesn't know what will happen between him and his old friend in the future, which makes him very upset.

In fact, he did not know that the reason why he did not make such a decision was not that he was afraid of committing crimes, but that he had not been driven to a dead end.

What Hick said when he told them to leave was right, Nell, and a few others, who weren't on the same page as those they were willing to risk, went right to the heart of the disagreement.

Those people have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, there is no way out, but these people who left, including Nell, they are not standing on the edge of the cliff, they have more options, so they are not desperate courage.

After returning home a little unhappy, just after opening the door, there was a disgusting smell in the living room①, he frowned, which also made him miss the smell of those fried chicken burgers and beer just now. .

As the head of the family for a long time, Nell's authority has not been affected by his unemployment.

He glanced at the kitchen and immediately noticed the bottle of wine on the cupboard, "Have you bought wine?" In just one sentence, his voice improved several times, which also showed his innermost feelings. Not fast.

Sierra quickly turned around and explained, "Lynch is back, this is a gift he brought."

Nell became quiet all of a sudden, because Lynch was the last retreat, the last choice in his heart that he was unwilling to admit.

He suddenly felt a little numb. He didn't know how to face Lynch. If Lynch had listened to him, now they are no different from those in the park, because they have no way out.

But admitting it would also make him unhappy, which would mean that his decision was stupid, and that he was the head of the family, which would make him very embarrassed.

Nell did not speak, while Sera kept silent and continued to manipulate dinner~IndoMTL.com~ After more than ten minutes, the family sat on the very old, but very clean table .

"I don't know if you're used to these things. I added some beans and potatoes." Sera introduced Lynch to their dinner. She seemed a little embarrassed, as if she couldn't come up with fine food to serve. ashamed of their own children.

In front of the three of them was a simple dinner. In front of each of them was only a bowl, which contained some thick liquid food like dung, mixed with some beans and potato wedges.

Due to a lack of sufficient cooking knowledge, the beans have lost their bright green color, slightly yellowed, and the whole bowl of food looks like someone is pulling it in.

This is how the food that the food roll redeemed looks like after it has been cooked.

Lynch raised his eyebrows, picked up a spoon and dug a spoon, pouted, and nodded.

After swallowing all the food, he put down the spoon, "I thought I would not be able to eat it, but I didn't expect it to be much better than I thought."

①, what Lynch smelled was the fragrance, and what Nell smelled was the smell that made him sick. The author elaborated the relationship between father and son in a subtle and unimaginable way, simply and not simply. Some questions and positions, which echo the title faintly, are so exquisite that people can't help but applaud.
