Godly Fisherman

Seeing Xiao Peng's suspicious expression, Lao Zheng pouted at Uncle Ji: "Look at Uncle Ji, he has been here for more than 30 years. The couple worked hard to get here back then. The result? In his own words, the first year he came, he had washed all the bowls of his life."

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "It seems that washing dishes is something that I have experienced when I came to work in Star-Stripe Country. How did they come?"

"How else can I get here? The refugees who do it." Old Zheng replied.

"Refugee?" Xiao Peng frowned.

Old Zheng looked at Xiao Peng’s expression and smiled and said, “This is not a rare thing. Wasn’t China just going out of family planning at that time? The two of them contacted the lawyer here and made a fake document. Saying that he is a believer, but being forced by the government to have an abortion and seek asylum from the Star-Spangled Nation, this foreigner is willing to listen to this, so the couple passed the visa officer interview smoothly and obtained the right of abode. This is not unusual here. There are a lot of lawyers in the Star Tiao State who specialize in compiling stories."

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I have tried my best to stay here."

Lao Zheng nodded and said: "The old couple stayed here for more than ten years before they got the green card, and then opened a small restaurant. We all worked in his restaurant. The boss of this party service company He seems to like eating the food he cooks very much. It happened that this time I was receiving Chinese food, so I asked him to come. Did he organize us people to make some money."

Xiao Peng felt cold after hearing this. Foreigners like to eat his meals? Isn't it Chinese food that tastes like Star-tiao Country? But he was even more curious about something else: "What was the rule he just said?"

After hearing this, Old Zheng looked surprised: "You don't even know? We have to make half of the money with him!"

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "Damn, isn't this the exploitation of Hong Guoguo?"

Lao Zheng glanced at Uncle Ji and said in a low voice, "You keep your voice down. Wouldn't it be that he hasn't had the opportunity to make this money? I tell you, here is a generous amount of money, I heard that it’s forty dollars an hour. Well, you have to know that doing things at other banquets. It’s only twenty dollars an hour. And it’s cash transactions, which can be tax evasion. This is pie-in-the-sky money."

Xiao Peng blinked, and it seemed that the body service company over there was also quite dark. I asked him and told him that as long as the food is qualified, the chefs here are paid two hundred dollars per hour. In the end, it became forty dollars in Uncle Ji's place, and then in the hands of the rest of the people, it became twenty dollars. This is a layer of peeling.

Looking at Xiao Peng’s expression, Lao Zheng thought Xiao Peng didn’t believe his words: “Do you think I’m teasing you? Now I work odd jobs in Boston and go to the supermarket for about five dollars an hour; if I can get a job as a cleaner, It’s about fifteen dollars an hour; it’s about fifteen dollars an hour for cleaning the lawn. The hourly salary for cleaning the dishes is about five dollars. You can calculate it, which is not worth it here. Besides, now Uncle Ji is in urgent need of money and is away from home. Yes, if you can help each other, please help each other."

Xiao Peng asked curiously: "What? Uncle Ji has something wrong?"

Lao Zheng sighed: "You may not know that right now in the Stars and Stripes, the people who stayed in the Stars and Stripes in the way of seeking asylum like Uncle Ji and his family have no one hundred thousand but eighty thousand. The purpose is for the Stars and Stripes. The welfare of the country, the stars and stripes can be the original intention? So recently this is being caught. Whether it is the citizenship or the right of abode, it is within the scope of the investigation, the reason is that the liar cannot be benefited. If it is found Just repatriate. Those who have obtained the right of abode are okay. If those who have obtained the nationality are found out, it will be really troublesome."

"Why? Isn't it better to get a nationality?" Xiao Peng didn't understand.

Lao Zheng explained: "Getting the right of abode is like you don’t bring the key, and then you stay at my house for a while. Later, my house let you go, whether you like it or not, you have to leave. So after the person who got the right of abode was found They will be repatriated to Huaxia. Similarly, those who have obtained their nationality will also be repatriated, but our Huaxia does not recognize dual nationality. When they obtain the nationality of Star-Stripe Country, they will automatically give up their Chinese nationality. Where will they be repatriated? "

After hearing this, Xiao Peng wanted to say ‘deserved’ from the heart, but after thinking about it, he held back: "If you are sent back, you can send it back. What's the big deal?"

"What's the big deal? These people don't need money to come to Star-Stripe Nation? Except for the real rich, who is not the one who sold iron? If you don't make money back, you will lose it?" Old Zheng opened his eyes wide.

Xiao Peng blinked and changed the subject: "Are you doing these things here? Don't you feel aggrieved?"

When Old Zheng heard this, his eyes widened: "Hey, kid, I kindly told you that you still look down on me? I tell you kid, I will teach a foreigner's child every night, and now our country is strong, learn Chinese There are more and more people. I went to take the Massachusetts Basic Education Qualification Examination and the Chinese Special Examination, and I was qualified to teach Chinese."

Xiao Peng asked curiously: "The income should be good, right?"

"Two hours every night, eighty dollars! Like those foreign students who are not qualified to be private tutors, it costs ten to fifteen dollars an hour." Old Zheng said smugly.

Xiao Peng blinked: "It doesn't seem to be much in a month like this. Brother Zheng, if you can get such a good teaching qualification, you can make so much money?"

Lao Zheng became anxious after hearing this: "Such a'point' of money? You really don't hurt when you stand and talk! The most annoying you guys who just came out, really thought that the star-stripe country is full of gold, and you can get it by bending over? Tell you, I don’t know how many people are jealous of me!"

Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Brother Zheng, don't get me wrong. I have no other meaning when I say that. I mean you have worked so hard to get the qualifications that are difficult to test. I feel that your return is not proportional to the rewards. . I'll complain for you."

After hearing this, Old Zheng looked embarrassed: "Well, in fact, my qualifications have been less than two months after I got it. In the future, more and more students will be made.... Now I don’t earn much, so I just came out to do odd jobs What?"

Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "Anyway, it would be awesome if you can pass the test. It's so complicated to hear that ordinary people can't pass the test."

Old Zheng heard this wry smile: "When I was in China, I was a college English teacher, but now it's better, and I came here to teach Chinese."

Xiao Peng was completely dumbfounded: "Huh?" Looking at Old Zheng, this domestic university teacher came here to do a little job? Xiao Peng really wanted to ask him what he thought.

Old Zheng looked at Xiao Peng and asked himself, "You certainly don't understand what I think, do you? To be honest, I don't know what I think anymore. There is no regret medicine in the world, right?"

Lao Zheng also opened up the conversation: "I have many friends who have immigrated here, saying that the 500,000 U.S. dollar investment immigration policy is about to pass. Immigrate as soon as possible. There is no immigration prison. You can freely enter and exit the Stars and Stripes country and enjoy the experience here. Medical education and other social welfare. I’m so stupid, I really believe it. I’m a middle class in China, right? My parents are both teachers, and my family pooled together and came up with half a million dollars. Stars and Stripes."

"After I got here, I found that it was not as simple as I thought. Five hundred thousand dollars? How much is left after buying a house? And five hundred thousand dollars is basically our family's life savings. So we can only start from scratch. I admit, There are those Chinese white-collar workers and high-level talents who have gone to first-class universities and found decent jobs in Star-Tiao, but they are rare after all. Most people are smuggled, asylum seekers or skilled immigrants, as long as they are not worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The super rich have basically the same standard of life here, and they all look for work."

“It’s not difficult to find in the Star-Tangled Nation, but it is also a low-level job, and it is also easy to find a job in the bottom of China. We are short of migrant workers in China, and the Star-Tangled Nation is even more short of migrant workers. It is the same in any corner of the world. There is no shortage of people for jobs with status. We look at migrant workers in China, and Star Stripe people look at us. You can go to the'COSTO' supermarket. 80% of the bargains are bought They are Chinese. Everyone who returns from here is dressed glamorously, but here? That's worse than the other. Let me tell you, brother, I will go back when the time comes. Working here is similar to black slaves back then. This It’s not a place where people stay."

Xiao Peng scratched his head: "Then are your parents here?"

Old Zheng smiled bitterly: "My parents ask me all day when to apply for reunion to let them come. How can I get them to come? Suffer the crime with me? You are still suffering outside at an age like Uncle Ji! Many Chinese in Stars and Stripes country run Up to this point, it is always work that is stable and have children and then parents are taken over. Why is this? Let parents be free nanny so that they can go out to work by themselves! Brother, listening to the words of old brother, this is really not heaven!"

"You two are chatting vigorously? How are you doing?" Uncle Ji walked over with the written menu.

Old Zheng laughed after hearing this: "Uncle Ji, don't worry. Talking and doing it is easy and efficient. This guy is faster than me. Where did you get this? It's great!"

"Oh. Old Li introduced it." Uncle Ji replied.

Lao Zheng looked at the menu in his hand: "Uncle Ji, did the recipe come out?"

Uncle Ji nodded: "Come out, I'll go see them. By the way, Xiaoqian, how is the fortune cookie baking?"

"Of course it's done. Uncle Ji, don't worry about my work," said the man over the oven.

When Xiao Peng heard the three words "fortune cookie", his heart shook again. Fortunately, Old Zheng spoke at this time: "Uncle Ji, let us look at the menu. We have a number in our hearts."

Uncle Ji nodded: "You can take a look and prepare the raw materials." After that, he handed the menu to Lao Zheng. The rest of the kitchen gathered around and looked at the menu together.

Xiao Peng was curious, so he tilted his head and glanced, but was shocked after seeing it, "Are you going to prepare this tonight?"
