[American Entertainment] The road to becoming a god

After leaving the reserved area, Gaspar returned to the neighborhood he was familiar with. He had two days to rest before going to the crew of "Young and Confused". Kuka put Gaspar at the intersection and drove away. It is now two o'clock in the afternoon. It's [-]:[-], and it's time for school to leave soon. Gaspar decided to go to the store.

The store has no name, and the signboard on it has long been rusted. People in the community refer to the store by the owner's name.This store not only has groceries, but also sandwiches and tacos. The owner is a Mexican who has been here since he moved from Gaspar.

"Hey Mindogo, how is today?" Gaspar took two jars of jam from the shelf and greeted the boss by the way.

"Not bad, how about you, Gaspar?"

"I picked up two good movies, and I'll get you two tickets when it's released." Gaspar looked at the sign above, "Four sandwiches, two more pickles, two don't, and two pancakes, Don't be too spicy."

"You're the only one who wants to add more pickles," the bearded Mindogo shook his head and beckoned his daughter to make a sandwich for Gaspar, but turned around and caught a glimpse of his little daughter winking at Gaspar, "Becky don't Stare at him, go!" The Mexican pretended to be angry and drove his daughter to work.

This situation is quite common, Gaspar smiled, but I don’t know if the grocery store owner misunderstood something after seeing Gaspar laughing, when Gaspar looked at him, the bearded Mindogo was staring fiercely he.

"Boy!" Mindogo squeezed a big pile of hot sauce on top of the cake ("Too much!") "I don't care if you're a Hollywood actor or model, as long as you dare to hit Becky. I'll beat you. Do you understand?"

"Relax Mindogo, you know me." Gaspar spread his hands in concession, "I will never do anything to your daughter."

"That's not necessarily true. My brat didn't worry me when I was your age. I was worried every day that he would get some girl on the street pregnant." Mindogo made two tacos while blowing his beard. Ki also brought out the sandwiches, and Mindogo wrapped them up and handed them to Gaspar, "By the way, Gaspar, your mother took two dozen beers and a pack of cigarettes from here the night before yesterday."

"Okay, let's count together." Mindogo took money out of his pocket and gave it to the boss, "See you later."

"Gaspar!"

"Ok?"

"You know you can apply for social assistance, your mother, she..."

"It's okay Mr. Mindogo," Gaspar smiled, "she's fine when she's at home, and you know, I'm making money, don't worry."

"I'm not worried, just a simple greeting." The bearded face couldn't hide the worry on the boss's face. I have to say that such a big man made such a loving expression.

"It's okay," Gaspar waved to the boss and walked out of the shop. "Thank you for caring about Mindogo, I will come to your place next time to buy sandwiches."

Looking at Gaspar's brisk back, Mindogo pursed his lips, and looked at the gate and muttered to his daughter in a deep voice, "Actually, I am more worried about his mother than supporting my younger siblings."

"Why do you say that?"

"The last time I happened to meet her when I was closing the door, she was very drunk and was hitting a dog with a wine bottle. When I locked the door and walked in, the dog was dead, and the whole head was..."

"Ewww, I don't want to hear a detailed description." Becky was disgusted by the picture formed in her mind.Such a woman turned out to be the mother of four children, and Becky couldn't imagine their lives. "Why didn't they call the police?"

"Because this is Brooklyn." Mindogo sighed. "Damn life."

"Baby Carliss! What did you do at home today? Did you draw?" Gaspar was hugged by Xiaodouding who rushed over 2 minutes after he entered the house. He put his schoolbag on the sofa and put The baby sister picked it up, "I brought you strawberry jam."

"Strawberry jam!" Carliss kissed Gaspar's cheek, then pouted and asked in a childlike voice, "When will I be able to go to school, like Adina and Adam?"

"Don't worry baby, remember next year, next year you can go to school after your sixth birthday, with Atina and Adam," Gaspar said, and he put Callis down, the older one. Tina came down the stairs, looking very angry. "Adina?"

"Hey Gaspar," she said angrily even after saying hello, "you just came back, you have to go see Adam, I can't stand him, is it because of him or is it just like you guys?"

"Slow down, Adina, what's the matter?" Gaspar pressed Adina's shoulders to relax her, "Did he miss class again? Or smashed something and got caught. It's okay, we can take care of it, Take it easy."

"Okay, okay," Adina took a deep breath, "Adam wants to join the Crips."

"The Lame Gang?" Gaspar frowned deeply, "He's only in the 4th grade, and the 9-year-old wants to join the gang?"

"Crazy huh, he wanted to drop out of school to be with 'the nigga'. Thanks to his black daddy they accepted him. That's what I overheard, Gaspar you know, I'm in middle school I can’t keep running from there to look at Adam, and he won’t listen to me.” The older girl complained, in her opinion, only the eldest brother in this family could understand her.

"I see," Gaspar squeezed his temples with a headache, "I'll take care of this. Where is he now, upstairs?"

"Yes, upstairs."

"Okay," Gaspar went upstairs with his stiff neck, lying on the railing and smiling at Adina reassuringly, "I'll go talk to him."

Adina: "Go, before he sends himself to prison, this family, and us."

"You're not helping, thank you Adina, take Caris to play."

"That's what I said," Adina folded her arms and shrugged. Gaspar went upstairs, and she took the little sister's hand and went back to the room. "Let's go paint."

……

Gaspar has two younger sisters, Adina, who is in seventh grade, and Karis, who is five and in daycare.And Gaspar and Adina, Adam, and Karis are not the same father, their fathers come from different stages of their mothers.

It's not anyone's fault. The bad environment does make people want to complain, but there is no way to complain. Who else can they blame?Probably only God is the old man.

The family is now basically supported by Gaspar, living expenses, house and yard maintenance, Atina is going to high school soon, Gaspar hopes that she can go to a private high school to receive a better education, and Carlisle will soon enter the grade of school ...and, the money his mother squandered.

It’s not a day or two for Gaspar to worry about this. There are too many places at work that need to spend money. For example, you need to have a three-piece suit to attend parties and events. It costs money to make friends and build a network, and buy out tabloid news. Or it costs money to spread news, and the salary for receiving a movie will not last long.

"You don't have to listen to your mother to make some content with good money but a bad reputation, and you will soon be one of the top actors in Hollywood."

Gaspar took a deep breath, telling himself that everything was going to be alright while cheering himself up.For now, among other things, he needed to dissuade Adam from joining the gang.

"Adam? Can we talk." Gaspar knocked on the door, but there was no response.He continued, "Gang life is not what you think it is. It's dangerous. We don't want you to be in danger. We are family."

Still no response.

"Adam?"

Gaspar put his ear to the door, it was quiet inside, and now things are a little bit bad.

Gaspar turned the handle, the door was unlocked, the room was empty, and the windows were wide open.

"Damn it!"
