我對隸屬同組的小妹報以虛弱苦笑。與她向來關係不錯，概略知道彼此家庭狀況——同是經濟支柱，一屋老嫩。聽到她主動提出幫忙，我除了感激，更多的是感覺羞恥。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekbyNOVVue
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWvxKtjHXu
唉！多講無謂，反正既成事實。倒不如動腦筋思考如何向妻子說明狀況。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHsZ4aGwxq

疫情關係，全球經濟不景氣。我和妻子預料這段艱難時期將會維持好一段日子，早已節衣縮食，積穀防饑。但我們慢慢沒有想到老闆會有此一著：工作日數減半意味薪金減半。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanuYjuUibo

供樓開支無法削減，父母醫療開支不能削，孩子教育開支不能減。唯一可以削減的只有我們夫妻倆的使用……588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80GqRgqJ4I

飯後，兩老早睡，兒女溫習，妻子洗碗。我怯怯到廚房去。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw51kNpcQl
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerqjBGXUVU
「老婆……」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9FcCvFkci

妻子搶佔發言先機，心裡不安的我更覺虛怯。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6cbvNdtX
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqaJTAwWpt
「是。明天開始，只需星期二、四上班。」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mFvvrseUT
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtPjdnqWvh
「嗯。」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IEAtlAXes
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwhFqiMbq3
妻子沒再多話，專心洗碗。她的冷靜淡然在我意料之外，卻又在情理當中。無力改變現實，也就只得接受和硬撐，呼天搶地無補於事。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozMuXv7id
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzqoHftUSD
我回睡房躺在床上發愣。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7rodGB33U
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EfbeSel1f
無能。無力。無奈。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4qhCVAjC7

千思萬緒化作團團亂線。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfK2G8unl1

剪不斷，理還亂。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMc2snd20X

勿剪，別理。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Xxa0rQZ1

我知道困境必定會過去，但我必須硬撐直到那天到來。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgK11cnY1U

不知道……
日出。星期二。上班員工人數銳減，辦公室冷清不少。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qTp25H3qv

有人若無其事，有人變得寡言，有人大吐苦水。不論個人感受如何，公司繼續營運，世界繼續運轉。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2yTM6QylZ

啟動電腦。電腦桌面背景是站在浮冰的北極熊。毛色暗啞，骨瘦如柴，神色虛弱。想必多日找不到食物，飢腸轆轆。絕望？誰管你的！天地蒼茫，白皚皚一片。無論北極熊是否存在，北極仍是北極，我仍在地球另端為家庭財政傷透腦筋。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbU8JoXcjK
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZRcgMxyRu
午餐。翻熱食物。是昨夜飯餸，白飯菜心排骨。白飯黏糯，菜心苦黃，排骨柴乾。想要一支豉油。下班後去買吧！不了，豉油不是必需品，不該浪費金錢買奢侈品。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwrSBNdfPl

下班時間，加班。加班同事還不少。沒法子。減少工作日數不代表減少工作量，也不代表工作進度可以放慢。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWSm37q3o2
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iFlBE0ayh
每次想及時間、日子，位於電腦屏幕右下方的時鐘就會顯得格外礙眼：它在提醒我妻子的飯菜變涼了、孩子掛念我的心情變淡了、父母與我相處的時間變短了；它在催促我加快手腳完成當前項目，接下來的工作將以排山倒海之勢襲來；它在教導我人生大道理，一寸光陰一吋金，吋金難買寸光陰，更何況加班沒有加班費……588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FPBQKKmBh
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjJzVHjDB9
關機，正式下班。心情太壞，說服不了自己留下來。回首，同事們仍在埋頭苦幹。理解，但無法奉陪到底。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGbZCcM5je

大街上，人影疏落，商店無燈。車站無人，想必有一班次剛剛離站。等。車頭燈或白或黃，在黑夜暗色環境當中尤其刺眼眩目。節慶煙花，演唱會螢光棒，無燈飯廳裡的金魚缸，床頭小燈，被窩裡的手提電話屏幕……腦袋失控，只管想著一堆毫無意義、不著邊際的雜亂畫面。累？是吧。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC5z3kmzMI

在巴士入站之際決定轉身離開。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTbFENkkkT

忽爾不想回家。
「飯餸在雪櫃。你自行翻熱吧。」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDFA07Ykb6

我敷衍回應妻子幾句後也就洗澡去。熱水沖去臉上油塵，皮膚霎時變得乾淨而乾燥，微癢微痕。或許每個人都是因為這些不著眼的小耗損而老去。無可避免。無可奈何。是否只得順從？是否只得接受？不順從又如何？不接受又如何？588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5tkgAJ5ix
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmzzmgi2zy
只會苦了自己。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxvutk6OYi

努力改變過，極力掙扎過，然後一切依舊——世界依舊不似預期。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWkQSgnVbo

通體蝕骨的無能無力無奈。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUggYMoy18

浴後，睡床上。妻子望著天花發愣。天花燈沒有亮著，光源自窗外滲入，剛巧側照伏在天花的小蟲，以誇張得滑稽的比例拉長小蟲影子，如怪物，如鬼魅。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gkwSNJC5z

「你的同事有沒有跟老闆反映近來遇上的問題？」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Tg4IqeH8
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCISw53xfPV
「沒有。大家都在座位上邊罵邊工作。」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCVGHOXe0D
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJCgc36xRF
妻子乾笑一聲，側身面窗睡去。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwhojCwZLe
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxYAm1zcXO
我實在笑不出口，呆望天花數蟲子。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdQVB1zytm
