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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt7FFJPR5L
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5EggE5HVX
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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBebBxdq5Iw

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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8WhsYhHVc

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……516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqhhXEGSFI

飯後，兩老早睡，兒女溫習，妻子洗碗。我怯怯到廚房去。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBEL4L8Rpf

「嗯。」516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14e5jhziZ0
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcq1fvjNgc
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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNygERuu5A
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZkf7WJsSu
我回睡房躺在床上發愣。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeR2d5FKhZ

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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDi1HvkyJr
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwrLFlUkRH
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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ6YE3wp0t

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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPDTJ3ZdH0

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……516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6oa3Sa4y
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET8USocmwD
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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQme4Jettd

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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyL9jmz3kM

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？516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgGKJ9yDBk

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。516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa3gj1RmIz
