Otherwise, as the old saying goes, good fortune never comes and misfortune never comes alone.
Back at Melika's house, Zhang Chi waited for a while, but found out that after calling her, Melika, a little girl, had to go home very late at night. This made Zhang Chi, who wanted to show off to her, a bit disappointed.
Melika will be back late, and Zhang Chi doesn’t want to stay here any longer. It has been almost two days since he left his ranch. Although everything is good at Melika’s house, the gold and silver kennels are not as good as his own doghouse. Zhang Chi
Chi decided to leave here and go back to his home.
"Then I'm leaving. You guys have fun here."
Zhang Chi stood up from the sofa.
"Not staying for two more days?" Zhao Yue asked.
With Zhang Chi here, they were more lively. It wouldn't make much sense to leave the three of them alone if Zhang Chi left. The three of them had known each other since they were in school, and no matter how much they talked, they would be done.
Zhang Chi replied: "Originally, I should invite the three of you to my place to have fun, but now it's getting late, and I really can't accommodate you three there. Wait until next month, next month my new
The house is almost ready. When you come back, you must go to my ranch to play. Nothing else. I have enough beef and mutton."
Zhang Chi now has some spare money in his pocket, so he has to build his own house in a serious way. The small house he lives in now is really too small, but it is just a stopgap measure. Such a smaller house, even for his parents and family
But if you come here, it’s not easy to stay with a family.
If you are poor, you will live in a small corner; if you are rich, you will live in a big house!
Lao Xu has already agreed that he will come over to build the project when he is finished. It is all assembly. Compared with a small house, the construction time of the big house will be less. Zhang Chi does not understand, but he believes that Lao Xu
Xu just doesn't want to trick himself.
Zhao Yue smiled and said: "We haven't even said we are going, but you have blocked the road yourself. Are you so afraid that we will eat and drink from you?"
"Look at what you said, am I such a stingy person? The main reason is that the house I live in now only has two rooms, and you can't even live in it. Not to mention that Zheng Bohong wants to share a room with me, but you two are happy to live in it.
Do you want to squeeze into one room?" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"You think we can't endure hardship?" Zhao Yue said.
Zhang Chi opened his eyes wide: "Is this considered hardship? Then you have never seen what it is like to endure hardship. Let me tell you about the kind of low-rent housing I lived in before. I could hear my neighbor's farts.
It's so clear, let alone a young couple working, I can hear it all night long.
Forget it, I won’t go further with you, I’m going back and waiting for Melika to come back and talk to her about Silly Damu’s victory.”
After speaking, Zhang Chi waved his hand, then went back to the house, picked up the small bag he had packed, and walked towards his car on the roadside.
Zheng Bohong and the others walked to the door, watching Zhang Chi disappear from their sight before turning back.
"Zhang Chi is really interesting," Zhao Yue said.
Duan Shu said: "To be honest, I really envy him. He lives a real life and is not pretentious at all. You see, he never uses any indirection when talking to us. He says what he thinks."
They are a bunch of business people, and they are doing business in China. They don't know what they think or say. That's not called being honest, that's called being ignorant of the world.
Zheng Bohong said with a smile: "Don't envy him. I said, should we buy a horse for fun? I think it's quite interesting."
Duan Shuyi said: "Forget it, you have what he has? A horse costs hundreds of thousands of dollars anyway. If you don't have that spare money, you two can buy it if you want."
Although they got along well with Zhang Chi, none of the three of them thought about asking Zhang Chi to help buy horses for fun. They were all very particular about people and would not do that kind of thing if their friendship didn't reach that level.
"It's boring without you," Zhao Yue said, turning back to the house.
Zheng Bohong and Duan Shu smiled at each other and followed them into the room.
Zhang Chi drove the car, humming a ditty, and turned the country music on the radio to the maximum, humming along while driving.
Country songs are relatively soothing, with the theme being love, women who dislike poverty and love wealth, plus horses and dogs.
I was in a good mood, but I didn't feel anything at all as I drove down the road. Zhang Chi felt that he hadn't even sang a few happy songs before the car had already entered Folsom.
We were all in Folsom, and it wasn't appropriate to visit my uncle's family home, so Zhang Chi drove to the door of the restaurant.
After stopping the car, Zhang Chi opened the door and entered the restaurant.
"Sorry, we are not open yet, you are a bit early."
As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Chi found a young man cleaning. When Zhang Chi came in, he said directly.
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment. If the furnishings in the room hadn't been changed, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong door.
"Are you new here?" Zhang Chi asked in Chinese.
When the young man heard this, he immediately said: "You are Brother Zhang Chi? I am new here. My name is Lu Guangming. I come from Sichuan Province. I have only been in the United States for a few years...".
Lu Guangming was really smart. Zhang Chi just asked and he guessed who Zhang Chi was.
But this is not too difficult. There are not many Chinese people in Folsom. Zhang Chi cannot be Zhang Wen at his age. Judging from his appearance, Zhang Wu is not likely to be dressed in cowboys. Except for these two entering the house so casually,
All that's left is Zhang Chi.
"Yes, I am Zhang Chi. Where are my uncle and aunt?" Zhang Chi asked.
Lu Guangming put down the broom in his hand and brought Zhang Chi a glass of water.
"No, no need," Zhang Chi said immediately when he saw it, "I can do it myself."
"It's okay, I'm just doing it casually." Lu Guangming smiled and put the water glass on the table, and then replied: "The boss and the boss's wife went to Aunt Phil's place. There are guests who want to eat dumplings today, and they went there to get food."
.
"Are you still accepting orders now?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
Lu Guangming said: "It's not a foreigner, it's Li Qiao who sells cars here."
"It turns out it's him." Zhang Chi couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
"Yes, that's him. He said that the fillings of their home-made dumplings were not good, so he asked the boss to make some here. When he goes back, he can take them home and cook them himself..." Lu Guangming said.
There were just a few people here, and none of them were particularly rich. Li Qiao naturally became involved with a group of Chinese people.
We all have the same cultural background, and we are not trying to become Americans. We are naturally closer than others.
So Li Qiao said he wanted to eat dumplings, but the fillings were not as good as those in the restaurant, so Zhang Youliang and Gu Ying naturally helped.
After pouring water for Zhang Chi, Lu Guangming did not sit down and chat with Zhang Chi. Instead, he continued to pick up the broom and sweep the floor. After sweeping the floor, he picked up the rag and began to wipe the table.
Zhang Chi watched for a while and thought to himself: This young man is really hard-working. It is rare to see such a young man nowadays.
Even in rural areas of China, such hard-working people are rare. There are quite a few people who are too lazy to do anything but pour a bottle of oil in front of them without holding them up.
After about ten minutes, Zhang Chi heard his uncle and aunt's car coming back, so he stood up from his chair and left the house.
"Uncle, aunt".
As soon as the two got out of the car, they suddenly became happy when they saw Zhang Chi's face: "Why are you free to come here today?"
"I just came back from work today. Didn't my horse race?" Zhang Chi said with a smile as he came over to help his uncle and aunt get their things.
The two of them didn't buy much, just a plastic basket.
The two wanted to refuse, but how could Zhang Chi give them such a chance? He directly picked up the basket from the trunk and held it in his hands.
"How was the competition?" Zhang Youliang asked casually.
"Winning first place," Zhang Chi replied.
Zhang Youliang said: "That's really good."
He says it's really good, but in fact Zhang Youliang doesn't know what makes him so good. Even though he has lived here for so many years, he has no interest in horse racing. He can't tell the difference between G1 and G2. In his eyes,
Horse racing is similar to gambling.
He actually had some objections to his nephew playing this, but he was worried that the child would fall into it.
Can it be a good thing to have anything to do with gambling?
But when the child is older, he can't always follow behind and say that this won't work and that won't work. When it's really time to pass, he can just remind him out loud.
"Let's eat here tonight. I'll cook whatever you want," Gu Ying looked at his nephew and said with a smile.
Zhang Chi said: "Whatever, but auntie, where did the diligent young man in the house come from?"
Gu Yingdao: "Your brother found it for me."
"Brother Xiao Wu?" Zhang Chi asked subconsciously.
Gu Ying curled her lips and said, "How can that kid have such a heart? Brother Da Wen, he was afraid of the hard work for us as a couple, and also felt that outsiders were a bit unreliable, so he paid attention to Xiao Lu and asked him to come over when he saw that he was suitable.
Do me a favor."
"Brother Dawen is so considerate, I never thought of this," Zhang Chi said.
To be honest, Zhang Chi really didn't expect this. He thought that the high school student who delivered meals was pretty good. He never thought that he was just a part-time worker. He was busy a lot of the time, not to mention that his main job was still a student.
Zhang Wen thought carefully and found a diligent young man to come over, and he was from China, he was honest and hard-working.
Lu Guangming originally came to California. When he was in China, he heard everyone saying that the United States was good and that he could make money when he came here, so he found a smuggler to first go to South America and then smuggled him to the United States.
Who would have thought that after arriving in the United States, I would find that apart from washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant, I couldn't think of any other job. The domestic beasts said that they could buy a house in the United States by picking up garbage in two years. Now Lu Guangming wants to break it.
their heads.
I worked as a cook for more than ten hours a day and did all kinds of hard work. In the end, half of the money I got for a month was given to the landlord.
The remaining half is saved to buy a house? Dream on!
Even if you buy shit, you can’t keep up with the heat.
If you can buy a house by washing dishes, there won't be so many homeless people in Los Angeles.
Zhang Wen often went to the restaurant where Lu Guangming worked. Seeing that Lu Guangming was really hard-working, always smiled when he met everyone, and had a good personality, he introduced him to work in his parents' restaurant.
After Lu Guangming came over, he found that the boss and his wife were kind-hearted people. They at least regarded themselves as human beings and did not say that they were just sitting around pointing fingers at their work. In addition, they also cared about his life. Although the salary was less, they still helped rent the house.
After buying the house, he would have more money for the rest of the month, so Lu Guangming settled down to work here.
