Jack and Rebecca are a couple who are about to have triplets.
Every birthday, Rebecca gives Jack a birthday dance, this year Jack is 36 years old.
While the two were having fun and celebrating, the triplets were about to be born early, and Jack rushed Rebecca to the hospital.
Her long-time obstetrician is busy with an appendicitis operation.
So a 70-year-old old doctor Katoski, who was re-employed after retirement, delivered her baby.
Rebecca was emotional, the old doctor reassured her, today is a big day for you, I swear in the name of my children and grandchildren, please believe I am up to the job.
Because of the fetal position, the doctor told them to be mentally prepared.
At the time of delivery, the first two of the triplets came out smoothly as a pair of siblings.
The third child, a boy, died of suffocation in the abdomen with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.
Jack was so emotional that in order to welcome the three children, they moved to a larger house, where three cribs had already been placed.
The old doctor slowly said to him that he also had a child who died of dystocia, and doing the work of midwifery was also a way to make up for it.
"Bring life to you with the sourness of lemons and the sweetness of lemonade."
His wife, Rebecca, was sleeping, and he went to visit his two children, who were born safely.
Outside the window, a fireman asked him, which is your child?
He pointed to the two and asked the fireman, where are your children?
The fireman said, not my child. He pointed to the black child next to him and said, "It's very strange. I don't know why someone threw the child at the door of the fire station?"
Jack looked at the black child, as if he was one with the two children next to him.
He could still take three children from the hospital if he wanted to.
There are no small cribs that have been prepared at home.

His 36-year-old sensual dog, the seaside, yachts, wine, girls.
But he is still unhappy, because the pursuit does not stop there.
In the soap operas he plays, the characters' feelings and props are fake. In order to cater to the audience, he needs to be manipulated on stage and sacrifice color in order to cater to the audience.

The younger sister at this time is a fat girl who is overweight.
She opened the refrigerator, and each food was labelled weight loss tips by Kevin.
After closing it reluctantly, she took off her clothes and went to weigh it, but she fell upside down and sprained her foot.
She called Kevin to help, as if talking to herself and reflecting: "How did I become like this, you are the only good thing in my life."
What she doesn't know yet, Kevin has his own career troubles.
She looks forward to the life of her dreams: to have a real career, marry a man like a father, and be a mother like a mother.
And the reality is that she hasn't achieved anything but an above-average weight.
Not wanting to be depressed, she threw away her favorite food and joined a weight loss support group.
Unexpectedly, on the first day, I met Toby, a fat man who had a crush on her.
She told the other party that I am not in a relationship with a fat man. But when she turned her head, she was actually very happy, because not many men approached her.
After the interactive session, Toby invites her to dinner and looks forward to further development.

The third child, Randall, has a successful career, a wife and two daughters.
He has been searching for his biological father, and with the help of a private investigator, on his 36th birthday, he found it.
The biological father, William, was about to open the door. He poured out all his grievances in one breath, and proudly showed his biological father everything he had now.
He wanted to prove to the father who had abandoned him that he didn't need anything from his biological father to live well.
He wanted to drive an expensive car and leave proudly, but he didn't expect his biological father to ask indifferently, "Do you want to come in?"
Randall complied without saying a word, as if the arrogance just now was just a show.
William wanted to say sorry to his son, but at the time he was devastated by the death of his wife and the erosion of drugs, and he couldn't remember anything.
But he liked the fire station very much, and he left the child there in a hurry, which really resembled his behavior.
William did get his retribution, he lived a poor life, and now he has cancer and his life is very short.
Randall could have scolded him for taking the blame and slammed the door away. But when he got to the door, he turned to William and said, "Do you want to see your granddaughter?"
William arrived at his son's house and met his two granddaughters, Tess and Anne, whom he quickly became acquainted with.
But William, who arrived by accident, made his wife Beth very puzzled.
Randall couldn't explain why he brought William home?
Anger, grievance, pain, longing... These complex emotions haunted him.
In the evening, William thanked his son for letting him see his granddaughter in his lifetime.
Randall did not reveal to the daughters that William was their grandfather. Just let him live at home as a colleague.
No one's life is easy on their 36th birthday.
After the father lost a child, he chose to adopt a black child;
After Kevin got tired of soap operas, he ruined his future and found another way;
Kate didn't want her life to be ruined by obesity, so she joined the Obesity Mutual Aid Society and met a new boyfriend;
Randall has been puzzled by his own background and found his biological father.
In the face of difficult problems, everyone chose to break through. It is still unclear whether it will be dark and bright, or whether it will be difficult.

A fun fact:
According to Wikipedia, the average person shares the same birthday as 18 million people.
There is no evidence, however, that there are any similarities in behavior between people born on the same day.
If there is... then Wikipedia hasn't found it yet.
