[Rebirth] King of Theater

If you can look at the entire life course of a person.

We will find that no behavior exists in isolation, and its formation often comes from the influence of education and surrounding environment encountered in childhood and growth.

Mrs. Sylvie was born in a poor small fishing village in Sicily. Her family environment was very conservative since she was a child. Because she was poor and had no education, she listened to her parents at home. live.

This kind of living environment, on the one hand, made her simple-minded, short-sighted, ignorant, unmotivated, and habitually entrusting her wealth and life to others; In the life of pennies and pennies, he shrewdly summed up his own set of fool-like living patterns, and refused to accept any changes.

Here is a very obvious example that fully illustrates part of her character:

After immigrating to this country with her husband and living in this country for more than ten years, she still can't speak English very well, and she still speaks Sicilian dialect when she is in a hurry.

It can be seen from this that this is a person who refuses to accept anything new from the bottom of his heart.

She must not be able to understand the so-called "buy low and sell high" business experience in her son's mouth.

Therefore, no matter how patiently the eldest son explained.

She always stubbornly believes that this is impossible, you must be cheated.

Or, you are taking the wrong path, which is not what a serious and good person should do.

Al didn't explain at all.

He casually took out a pack of cheap licorice candies that cost a few cents from his pocket, and used them to satisfy his younger brothers and sisters, while reminding his younger brothers and sisters in a gradually tough tone: "Mom, it's time for you to cook. John, Mary , and I'm hungry."

Mrs. Sylvie froze for a moment, and wanted to say something.

Al raised his head, stared into her eyes, and told her word by word: "I will be like my father in the future, bringing money home every week. As for other things, don't worry about it, let me do it. From then on , you don’t have to worry about money, and you don’t have to worry about other nosy things, just take care of yourself and this family.”

Mrs. Sylvie was stunned and looked at her son in disbelief.

But Al was expressionless, looking directly at her calmly and without flinching.

Madame Sylvie withdrew slowly.

The attitude of an adult man displayed by her son at this moment made her suddenly feel at a loss when facing her father and husband.

And when facing father and husband...

She has always been the one who has the least say.

So, she chose to obey her son's instructions obediently, walked into the kitchen silently and started cooking.

The matter has been magically put on hold at this point.

Before Al successfully sold out the theater tickets and earned the money back, there should be nothing else to say.

However, his brother John and sister Mary saw the brief dispute between him and his mother.

The two children looked at each other, and they both showed a very surprised expression. They may not understand anything now, but from this confrontation, they have faintly realized that a subtle change is taking place in the dominant control of this family. change.

Al didn't care about that.

He has no intention of competing for the dominant control of the family, nor does he want to pretend to be an authority. He is more willing to understand his mother's ignorance and understand her inner pain.

But as a man with an adult soul.

He really doesn't want to be like a child, being interfered with by his mother every day, but what he does is not worth mentioning, but in her eyes, it is considered out of line, so he has to explain it hard, which is too much It's hard.

It would be nice if it could be explained.

But some things cannot be explained.

"It's not easy to take on a family."

Al couldn't help thinking quietly in his heart: "Not only must we use money to support everyone, but we must also learn not to be disturbed, to act arbitrarily, and not to show a little weakness that shakes people's hearts, and to always pretend to be calm and in control of the overall situation. .”

When I think about it this way, I feel not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.

But looking at the silly smiles of his younger siblings when they ate candy, he felt nothing.

The next day, Al woke up early and cleaned himself up.

His plan today is to report to Miss Alice and get the planned job completely.Then, wander around the theater to collect more information and intelligence, firstly, to lay the foundation for the future scalper business; secondly, to research to see if there are any other opportunities.

Mrs Sylvie did not hold back this time.

She knew that her son was going out to find some kind of permanent job, and this was something she could understand.

So, regardless of the discomfort and discomfort that she was still pregnant with the child, she got up early, cooked a hearty breakfast, and helped her son clean the worn-out shoes as much as possible with a rag. Needle and thread to mend his clothes...

Before going out, Al stretched out his arms to hug her gently, and comforted her again: "Don't worry, Mom."

But Mrs. Sylvie couldn't help nagging again: "Be good, do your duty, and never touch crooked ways..."

What atmosphere is gone!

Al really couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, this time it is indeed a matter of duty.

Although Mr. Milson has the bad nature of a capitalist, he is not a particularly stingy person. If some troubles in life can be solved with a small amount of money, why not do it?

Therefore, Miss Alice successfully persuaded Mr. Milson to hire such a young employee.

Of course, you can't mention employment to the outside world, just say that this is the child of Miss Alice's relatives, who is too busy at the moment, so she is called to run errands to help.

"Ten dollars a week," said Miss Alice.

Then, she added: "There are bonuses for doing well."

Al happily agreed.

And, on the day he was hired, he got busy with him.

At first, Alice worried that the child would not know anything and would have to be taught slowly.

But soon, she wasn't worried at all.

Al was always able to do everything he entrusted to him quickly and well.

The most important thing is that he is careful, diligent, and able to think.

At this time, limited by the lack of popularization of education and the lack of development of information, many people only do things by "doing what others say".

For example, once, Alice asked Al to send a letter.

I didn't pay attention at first, but when I sent it, I realized that the address was a little blurred.

If it were someone else, it would definitely not be mailed, and they would run over and make a fuss, shouting, "Miss Alice, no, the address is not clear, and there is no way to send it away, what should I do?"

Then, Alice, who was already busy on all fours, had to put down the work she was doing, took the address book angrily, dug out the address again, wrote it down, and let the other party send it away.

But Al's approach is to find the address by himself, write it down, and send it away.

Does it sound easy?

Just save a step on Alice's side?

But it's such a simple job, many people can't think of it.

The vast majority of people are more accustomed to pushing the solution to others to others. When encountering a little difficulty, they have to stop what is clearly half done and wait for others to deal with it.

So, when Al Yi showed the awesome trait of "I can do everything you give me and I won't let you worry about anything"...

Miss Alice was almost in love with the child.

If you are an adult, maybe you have to worry about whether the other party will steal your job in the future.But with such a small child, all that remains is the joy of being finally freed from the hell of chores.

So, even if he's ugly like a moulting puppy right now; even if he's skinny, green-eyed, and pointy-nosed, he looks like a badass little witch in a cartoon...

In Alice's heart, she is also as cute and caring as an angel.

"Is this a New Year's gift from God?!"

She thought happily: "Ten yuan a week, this money is really worth it."

Therefore, the new job that Al got is naturally more secure, and no one can shake it.

He started to live a regular life like his father did at the beginning, leaving early and returning late every day, working diligently, and then giving the money he earned every week to his mother for the household.

Mrs. Sylvie was simple-minded, always looking only at the present.

After having a stable income of ten yuan a week, she put the previous 55 yuan incident behind her, pretending that it had never happened, and continued to live the same life as before.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since Mr. Sylvie passed away.

But the bunch of orphans and widows he left behind are still alive and well, not lonely, hopeless and helpless; Get better?It's incredible!

For a while, the neighbors in the whole street couldn't help but be amazed.

In this regard, Al, the real hero, is not very proud.

In his opinion, good days are yet to come!

At this time, as the drama "Mr. Pretty" became more and more famous, he took advantage of the pre-sale and bought the tickets in advance and kept them firmly in his hands. Finally, it was time to sell them.
