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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhxK4ECjl
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sXmuJXldg
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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT5u1RqEvI

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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstYWiZ6KVd

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……582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu01vGDvAS

飯後，兩老早睡，兒女溫習，妻子洗碗。我怯怯到廚房去。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiiQ14UDRD
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNihkowLuLW
「老婆……」582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FZJHs45gz

「有困難？金錢？」582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadT9sNhKid

妻子搶佔發言先機，心裡不安的我更覺虛怯。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ake7YYXl4
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGRBWetFhv
「是。明天開始，只需星期二、四上班。」582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9CiibAsew

「嗯。」582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4p83DSbvz
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf33cX3kysX
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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t05n676TN
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9oJhudP37
我回睡房躺在床上發愣。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG1SDknSUa
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuIrjELJH1
無能。無力。無奈。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gu3yyLKLj

千思萬緒化作團團亂線。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7WmKUvzzT

剪不斷，理還亂。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmRPg7KfRE

勿剪，別理。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYyxysWaRF

我知道困境必定會過去，但我必須硬撐直到那天到來。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySgH9lalBc

不知道……
日出。星期二。上班員工人數銳減，辦公室冷清不少。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueB6gqclqg

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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfmiLhMO1v

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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlj8CtQvDE
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUY76ZsqtC
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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHeU8BBUP9

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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXcMGQP3GH
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w8ORbA7ln
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……582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf7TcjOl4g
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36R7NmRxyp
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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyte5ptAcEW

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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZu3KUmeI6
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dvBPxtRcC
我笑。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FaxhBGxLp

在巴士入站之際決定轉身離開。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDwVWUR44J
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgtzMyBysN
忽爾不想回家。
「飯餸在雪櫃。你自行翻熱吧。」582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9PB673E6b

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？582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6YsO51bP
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76t466d38f
只會苦了自己。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUqPJGjk68

努力改變過，極力掙扎過，然後一切依舊——世界依舊不似預期。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy6jTmWz78
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXOrUnKAvl
通體蝕骨的無能無力無奈。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RLP3fAvcG

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。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVFOlxspJE
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoP7MhgoDq
「你的同事有沒有跟老闆反映近來遇上的問題？」582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ieB28tNM8
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9I5AusGni
「沒有。大家都在座位上邊罵邊工作。」582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvWyccul4q
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlT8auQgMf
妻子乾笑一聲，側身面窗睡去。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bUUVhQHZJ
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjp3xVy4V7
我實在笑不出口，呆望天花數蟲子。582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hnnkOmMnf
