Chapter 1348 The pain of separation, the ultimate innocence
After spending a fun weekend with his son, John was washing the car. He looked down and saw that his son was washing his own toy truck just like him.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

The warm and happy relationship between father and son is only short-lived, and John knows that his time is running out.

He had basically given up on the first family, so he had to continue to meet the second family recommended by the adoption agency.

The second family is a postman couple who have adopted a daughter and a rabbit.The couple gave up their child for adoption, and the family is very nice and on good terms.

It's just that the husband babbled and said, rather cynically, about the neighbor and his horrible dog.

Apparently they hate dogs.

Although there was a polite smile on his face, John knew that maybe this was not a good choice.

However, he saw that Mike seemed to like their rabbits, so on the way back, in the car, he asked Mike, "Do you want to raise a rabbit?"

"I want to have a puppy!" Mike still likes dogs.

Mike's answer made John completely give up on the family he just met, even though they looked good and had a harmonious relationship, but obviously, Mike preferred dogs to rabbits.

And the husband of that family kept talking about how scary the dog was, what would happen if he was bitten by a dog, and what.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Mike had a dog after he was adopted by them.

Of course, in fact, John respected his son's choice more, including the first family.

He is not so much helping Mike find a new home, but rather letting Mike choose.

After sending Mike to school, John came to Mrs. McDonald's, a regular customer, to clean the windows.

Clearly, he trusted the regular customer, and she seemed to know John's situation.

When John brought up the idea of ​​going against the adoption agency, she said, "John, some people might be a little bit omniscient, but they're professionals, they're experts, and if someone says you should"

John interrupted her, "So what am I supposed to say? When I, in heaven? Sit next to God? Will it be the same God?"

The kind old lady said: "My mother believes that people have an afterlife. If you tell her that dust returns to dust, she will not believe it. She will say that we are air, not clay. She will say that we are all in the world." there"

She said that when she was young, she thought it was ridiculous, but now she thinks her mother is right, if she is in her heart, then she is by her side.

After that, John went to the house of a good friend who Mike often played with to pick him up, but he was late.

But it turned out that Mike was hiding under the table, and John didn't answer when he asked him, just playing with the toy car by himself.

Until he looked up at Papa John and said, "You're late!"

John looked at his son, but his heart was slightly touched. He knew that although his son was only three years old, he didn't understand everything.

John took his son and left, not forgetting to ask his son to apologize to the family.

Mike apologized politely.

When the father and son came to the park, Mike saw a motionless beetle under the tree. He curiously asked his father, "Why is it motionless?"

He wanted to move the Beetle, but didn't know how.

John finally told him: "No, it's dead, the beetle is dead, the body can't move, can't eat, can't play, like all animals and plants, like all living things, it is born, Then live happily ever after, grow old, and die! Leave the body, its feet, its head, its stomach empty, but the beetle is no longer here, only the body!"

Mike asked worriedly: "Will it be sad?"

"No, Mike, it won't be sad, it's just not here."

Obviously, he still hasn't figured out how to explain the meaning of death to his son.

At this time, the sound of the ice cream truck sounded, which also diverted Mike's attention.

The long-term attention to his son also made John ignore himself. He still went to work as usual, but this time, when he climbed up the ladder again to prepare for work, he suddenly felt a splitting headache and had to close his eyes tightly and use the top of his head. Looking at the window, wanting to take a break.

It's just that he didn't expect that this time, he met a mean employer, and the first thing he said was: "I didn't pay you to sleep!"

John had to explain that he just hadn't started wiping yet.

But this mean employer looked at him with a mocking face.

After the work was over, he mocked John as a window cleaner who couldn't even clean the windows. His tone and expression were full of contempt.

As a window cleaner, it was obviously not the first time he had encountered this kind of employer, so although John was dissatisfied, he still drove away.

He came to the hospital and had an examination. Although the camera did not tell the audience the doctor's will, obviously, the result was not good.

Such news made John finally unable to bear it anymore.

So, he came to the mean employer's house, took out a box of eggs, and smashed them on the windows and on the car.

In the past, maybe he has been working extremely hard to be able to do this job well. Even if he encounters such a mean employer, he will hold back all kinds of mean words, but this time, he wants to be willful for a while. .

Because if he doesn't do it, he won't have a chance.

When he was working outside, he looked enviously at the happy appearance of a family of four in the shop.

When he got home, he cut and peeled red grapes for his son. He looked at his son who was playing and said, "You can do it yourself when you grow up, and you won't cut your hands."

A sudden burst of severe pain hit him, making it impossible to maintain the expression on his face, and his face twitched due to the pain.

Although Mike didn't know what happened, he knew that his father was not feeling well.

The next moment, he stood on the stool with his little feet on his feet to receive a glass of water, and handed the water to his father tremblingly.

Then, leaning against Dad, put his little hand on Dad's big hand.

After recovering a little bit, John went to meet the third family.

This is a white father and a black mother who have adopted many children. They already have six children, some adopted and some biological. The education method is very tolerant, but the family is like a global village. Everything seems to be in harmony. To be fair, however, one of the adopted children was very ill-bred, and the youngest, about five, was also hostile towards Mike.

So, even though the family had a dog and the conditions were middle class, John still refused.

It started to rain, and John heard someone complaining in a small shop that he knew it was raining, so he would not go out. Seeing a mother teaching her daughter to study, John thought of his wife, Mike's biological mother.

The relationship between him and his wife has always been problematic. He thought it would be better after having a child, but unexpectedly, the child was only six months old, and his wife left them and ran away.

Didn't even leave an address!

Listened to what John said.

Xiao Na comforted: "No matter where she is, I don't know what she missed. And this cute little boy is growing up!"

John shook his head: "It's not her fault, it's that I can't give her the life she wants, maybe the truth is, I'm not what she wants!"

"But when I know this (dying), maybe she can someday her."

John tried to give Mike to his biological mother to raise him, but Xiaona quickly rejected it. On the one hand, it was too late, and on the other hand, it was because she had abandoned Mike before, so the relevant It is simply impossible for the department to consider this.

At this time, the person in charge walked in.

She learned that John had once again given up on the agency-recommended family.

"John, we understand that you want to help your son find the best, but your situation is too special, so we can only deal with it in a special way, but there are limited families that can be considered before making a decision. Carefully selected, it’s actually pretty good!”

John said that he could not judge whether they are suitable after only meeting once, and he was afraid that he would make a wrong decision and read the wrong one.
But his time is really running out.

He got home and started throwing up, throwing up, knowing he had less and less time left for himself.

This made him more urgent, he must find a new home for Mike before he left.

It's his birthday. On this day, he took Mike to the supermarket to buy a lot of things and returned.

John is 34 years old this year. After filling 34 candles, Mike suddenly looked at his father and said: "You are old!"

John couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm not that old!"

But quickly he added, "That's right, Mike, Daddy isn't getting any younger! Someday."

Mike's movement interrupted his continuation, because Mike passed a new candle.

This is the son's best hope. Maybe Mike doesn't understand it that much, but he has the most innocent idea. The red candle he handed to his father is the hope that he can spend another birthday with his father. John also deeply Feel Mike's attachment.

This scene made John unable to say what he was about to say.

He stood on the flyover, wanting to cry but no tears.

He wished so much that he could spend even one more year with his son, but he knew that was an extravagant wish and unrealistic.

After calming down, he cheered up again and came to the fourth family. The fourth family was not even a family, because this was a single woman who had no fertility, and her life was chaotic, but she liked her from the bottom of her heart. child.

The woman said that when she was 16 years old, she had an unexpected pregnancy and insisted on giving birth to a child, but because of the persuasion of her father and the adoption agency, she gave up the custody of the child. Now the doctor said that she had lost fertility, but her husband could not Adopted, but opted for divorce.

To this day, she still regrets her original decision. She really wants to adopt a child to make up for the mistakes she made at the beginning.

John was very touched when he heard this, and he also talked about his own experience. Before the age of four, John was brought up by his father who drove a truck. He lived behind the cab of the truck. After the age of four, he lived in various adoptions. In the family, because he himself was adopted and grew up, but because he did not meet a suitable adoptive family, he lived a life of wandering and wandering, and now he has nothing to do, so he hopes to find a good one for his son. family.

The woman also said that because she is single now and has previous experience, she applied for three years before she got a response.

She was talking with Mike as he loaded candies into the toy truck.I also asked what Little Mike was like when he was younger?
I also asked Little Mike, what do you like to do with your father the most?
At this moment, Little Mike suddenly asked, "When will you die?"

John was stunned, he didn't know when, let his son remember this word.

Obviously, Little Mike didn't understand anything as he imagined.

He may not understand the true meaning of death, but he remembers death, but he will ask when will he die?
On the way back, John had mixed feelings. When passing the sidewalk, he saw a boy crossing the road by himself, and he couldn't help but think of Mike.

Maybe soon, Mike will also need to learn to cross the road alone.

John came to visit Mrs. Macdonald again. The old lady shared her husband's attitude towards death. She recalled the time before her husband was about to pass away. She was very angry at the injustice of fate, and her husband cherished every minute together. , everything around has become more precious and wonderful, the sun is brighter, the flowers are more colorful, and even the grass is extraordinarily green. When asked whether she missed her lover, the old lady replied with a bit of arrogance: "Yes, no, I talk to him every night, and she didn't throw away her husband's toothbrush until Christmas last year!"

As his condition worsened, John couldn't even climb a ladder, so he chose to give up immediately.

Because he has more important things to do.

When he got home, his spirit was getting worse and worse. He leaned on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

Little Mike saw it, went to get a blanket, and covered his father. John woke up and couldn't help hugging his son tightly.

Seeing his son's well-behaved and sensible appearance, his heart was pierced like a knife.

As his condition got worse, John had to speed up his pace and came to the fifth family.

This family is a wealthy couple. The wife is very strong and has a strong desire to control. The husband seems weak but also very selfish.

They can have children, but they don't want to affect their lives because of their children, but they hope that adoption will be a new journey in their lives.

In order to please Little Mike, the hostess saw that Little Mike liked the puppet very much, so she gave it to Little Mike.

The husband and Mike have similar interests, he likes trains, but he refuses to communicate with Mike because his toys are very delicate.

But what is even more jaw-dropping is that when John and Mike left, they actually asked for the rabbit puppet back.

This scene also caused an uproar in the theater. Obviously, they did not expect such a person to exist.
