A family
The father, mother, son and daughter make up a family, and they play a different role respectively.
The daughter has a pure mind, she is smart and adorable, bringing happiness to her father and family, but she also caused some trouble mindlessly because of ignorance.
The mother is a carer, caring for elderly person as her job outdoors, caring for her son and daughter as her job indoors, and helping her husband to handle some troubles. The moment she swears is when she is broken down, confronted with the mess and especially the unfairness in the society.
The son, without him this family could have been more harmony, skipping school and shoplifting, he pushed the development of this story, that more pressure and less time for work is provided for his parents.
The father, the slave under the social environment of labor class, takes responsibility to raise the family and feed their children, despite of the salary from his wife. He really can't get rid of his job, taking the risk of 100 pounds for replacement. The first time for replacement is when he went to the police office due to his son's crime. The second time, he couldn't find his key of van because the daughter hidden it. Thirdly, the climax came from the social crime that gang punched him fiercely and destroyed that black scanning machine which worth 1000 pounds. Importantly, however, there is no mercy from his supervisor and therefore no tolerance for him to apply another replacement. Otherwise, he is not the blue-eyes child in the employer's eyes and will lose his job in great debt.
Nobody knows what would happen when he still drove his van to go for work in an injured unhealthy state, despite of all his family members' improvement. Nobody can give him an answer at present, so only continuing to move on the road is what he could do.
This is a concentrated short story that might happen in every common family. Be a nice husband and a nice son, let each other's live be easier, if nobody else care about us. Life is unfair and not easy, but we still get to work on it.
