The family of three gathered around the fire and ate a burger with boiling water in the middle of the night, but it was the best thing they had eaten in more than a month.
There are fewer and fewer people jumping off the building outside, and now that the owner of the house has found a job, life is gradually improving for the family.
Steve slipped his belly out of a beef burger and nearly burst his belly, but he slept soundly that night on his back on the old wooden bed, listening to the cold wind howling outside.
Although the burger is not the cream cake of his dreams, the days are almost the same as the good days of his dreams, and although he doesn't know when this Wilson business came out, his heart is full of gratitude.
The next morning, his parents left early, and he also got up early to help with the work, such as lighting the fire and preparing the food.
His mother, who was malnourished and frail, insisted on going out to work, and she had to go to a wealthy neighborhood a few blocks away to clean up and earn money.
When he had finished eating, he went back to his little room to read, a textbook he didn't think he would need.
But before he could read any longer, he heard someone knock on his glass secretly.
When he looked up, it turned out to be his little friend Bucky, who was looking around with his trademark smile on his face.
"Steve, let's go out and play" Steve opened the window in dismay, as was the structure of their apartment building, with a small windscreen in the hallway, and if it had been opened to allow a skinny child to slip through, Ba would have been locked in the house and slipped out of it.
"Didn't your dad let you study at home?"
Bucky waved his hand unconcernedly, rolled in through the window, and sat down on Steve's cot.
"What's so good about books, when I go back to school in a few days, I have time to read."
The dark-haired boy plucked his ears, he had no interest in this.
Steve knew that this would happen, Bucky's personality was the same as his father's, and it would be worse to let him study honestly at home than to kill him.
"If he comes back from work and finds you running away, you're dead."
Bucky scratched his head, "He won't know, as long as we come back before he gets off work, right?"
” "Don't, if you want to play, you can go, don't pull me, my dad told me that to be a useful person for the country, you must study hard."
Steve hurriedly refused, once Bucky played, he never had a sense of time, the key was that he was rough and thick-skinned, and no matter how Uncle Tom beat him, it would be useless.
Bucky's eyes rolled and he changed the subject.
"Did you eat that burger yesterday?"
Bucky lies on Steve's bed.
"Well, I had a sandwich this morning."
Steve was absent-minded.
"That's beef, right?"
Bucky rolled over again, and he felt his pillow get a little wet.
"Well, I guess so."
Steve's face was expressionless.
"Where did this cow come from, Tennessee?"
Bucky sniffed the pillow, and the moist marks had a fishy smell, it should be saliva, not tears.
"Who knows, I haven't seen a cow in the city."
Steve sighed.
"Did you think they'd bring anything else back today?"
Bucky dodged the trail of saliva and flipped the pillow over.
"Won't you?
It is also impossible for the boss to deliver things to the workers every day.
Steve replied in a helpless tone.
"yes, I still remember the rich people on the street before, they were quite stingy."
Bucky squirmed and rolled around like a bug on the bed.
Steve kept his eyes on his textbook, but Bucky was chattering like Grandma Mary downstairs, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
But every time Steve turned his head and looked at him with a serious gaze, he would pretend to be innocent and whistle.
"Okay, where do you want to go today?"
Steve finally couldn't resist it, his friends were going to drive him crazy, and even holding the book in this situation was just a waste of time.
"Did you read the hamburger wrapper yesterday?"
Bucky pulled a crumpled piece of brown paper out of his pocket.

"Look, there's a letter on it, and it's my friend.
"I had never heard of such a big company in the city before, and I heard my dad say that they recruited more than 10,000 people last night and the docks were packed."
Bucky said mysteriously, grimacing at Steve.
Steve already knew what he wanted to do, and to be honest, he was curious about the business, but he wasn't as curious as Bucky and was going to find out.
"Listen to me, Bucky, you can ask your dad at night, even if we find it now, what are we going to do next?"
Bucky scrambled out of bed and leaned closer to Steve's side, his dark eyes full of excitement.
"Aren't you curious?
They handed out at least a hundred thousand burgers and sandwiches last night, I mean, if there's any extra ones, can we ask for a few more?
We've been hungry for more than a month, I don't want to go hungry anymore, the more food, the better, okay?
” I have to say that Bucky's statement is also Steve's feeling, he is moved, but whether it is begging or picking, it is not something that should be done.
"No, Bucky, it's okay for us to go see where my father works, but we can't do things like asking for food."
Bucky nodded, indicating that Steve was right, but he hadn't thought about being a beggar.
"I didn't say it was begging, although we don't have much strength, but we can read and count, you think, yesterday they recruited so many people, there must be a lot of follow-up work today, such as registering phone numbers, writing work numbers and work cards and other small things, we can do temporary work in exchange for food, this is the income of labor, don't be ashamed."
Many people don't have a phone in their homes, but there's always something to record, right?
The suggestion of exchanging labor for food is really clever, and Bucky has always been smarter than himself.
There is only one such opportunity, and the two of them can get a lot of food in exchange for a day or two at most, which can reduce the burden on the family and understand this mysterious company.
Steve was moved by what he said, and he stood up to change his clothes, buttoning his cap to his head.
"Okay, I'll leave a note for my mom first, and then we'll go out."
"Haha, this is my Steve, I'll wait for you."
Bucky stood up happily and kept moving around the room, urging Steve to hurry up.
There is no shortage of smart people in the city, and there must be others who can think of things that a child can think of, although they only want to pick up some boring little jobs that adults can't look at, but the sooner they go, the better.
