This is the first time in Guo Yongkun's two lives that he has come to New York's Chinatown, the largest overseas Chinese community.

Although it is called a "street", it is not an imaginary street.

According to my sister, New York's Chinatown stretches from Broadway Avenue in the west, Essex Avenue in the east, Graer Street in the north, and Worth Street and Henry Street in the south.

The entire Chinatown consists of more than 40 streets, covering an area of more than 4 square kilometers and a population of about 150,000.

This is already a Chinatown-like existence.

It's much bigger than Guo Yongkun imagined.

Moreover, my sister also said that there is more than one "Chinatown" like this in New York, and there are always five or six hundred thousand Chinese in New York.

Astound!

Guo Yongkun really did not expect that at the end of the 80s, so many Chinese would run to the United States. There was a kind of disdain in the momentary thought, but it was quickly relieved.

He despised the kind of people who received free education from the state and were sent to study abroad, but eventually became American citizens.

He also knows some history, knowing that the first Chinese to go to the United States are actually laborers, and they do jobs that white Americans are not willing to do in mines, farms, cigar factories, lumber mills, etc.

It's nothing more than begging for a living.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Then again, the kind of guy who is sent to study abroad and doesn't return probably won't live in Chinatown.

New York's Chinatown is located in the southern end of Manhattan in Downtown, and Manhattan is known to the world, it is the paradise of capital, one of the richest districts in New York.

The car just drove all the way, and Guo Yongkun deeply realized what it means to be "polarized".

Unlike the high-rise buildings in central Manhattan, the houses on this side of Chinatown are much smaller, with few more than 15 floors, most of them are red brick stand-up buildings, built on the street, five or six stories high, with shops on the first floor and people living on the upper floors.

The streets are crowded and two cars pass at the same time, which is a test of driving skills.

The houses on both sides are full of colorful advertising signs with traditional Chinese characters written on them, which is chaotic.

Of course, there are also some signs mixed with English.

According to Leah, the shops here are mainly Chinese business, and only bold whites occasionally come, and blacks do not come. For what reason, she didn't say.

The reason why we say bold, we have to mention history.

In the early days, the Chinese who went to the United States, their gathering place was not New York, but on the West Coast of the United States, but at the end of the last century, the economic crisis broke out in the United States, and many white people lost their jobs, but the Chinese had jobs to open because of their dirty, tiring, low-paying jobs, and no one would compete with them normally.

As a result, the Chinese inevitably attract the envy of whites.

In their homeland, they are almost out of food, but they live well, what is the matter?

Therefore, they accused the Chinese of stealing their jobs for no reason, and as a result, the Chinese who were excluded and persecuted at that time passed a "Chinese Exclusion Act", and the Chinese who had been excluded and persecuted could only abandon the hard-built foundation and were forced to migrate to the East Coast of the United States, and finally to New York.

And this is only a "grudge" in history, and there are countless such things.

So don't say that white people are unhappy to look at Chinese, Chinese people are also uncomfortable looking at white people. Then the base camp of the Chinese, white people naturally will not set foot easily.

On the other hand, they don't bother to come, this is undoubtedly a piece of psoriasis attached to their beautiful city in their hearts.

There are only a handful of white people who can live in Chinatown, and there must be reasons not to be excluded.

Like Leah's mother, her mother was also white, but Danish. Pure Germanic blood, there is no whiter person in the world than them.

"It's here!"

The van carrying food was parked in front of a street-side restaurant, and a sign hung on the front of the door was Mr. Wu's Chinese restaurant. The restaurant doesn't look big, it only has a façade.

"Are the doors locked?"

After getting out of the car, Guo Yongkun couldn't help but remind Leah when he saw that Leah didn't screw the key on the cab. There was still something of value in his luggage.

"It's okay, don't worry, although there are some gangsters in Chinatown, there are also rules on the road, and they won't pry the car parked in front of the house. ”

Is this the so-called thief also has a way?

Guo Yongkun looked around a few times, and in broad daylight, he believed her.

At this time, because it was already past the meal, the restaurant was very deserted, and there were no guests at the table. As Guo Yongkun imagined, in a very small restaurant, there are eight long tables in two rows in a front room.

There are so many of them that they have to share a table to eat.

"Dad, Mom, it's business!"

The two of them were probably cleaning up the remnants of noon in the back kitchen, when they heard the voice, and took the lead in walking out of a middle-aged woman with blond hair and blue eyes.

Guo Yongkun looked at it slightly, and had to sigh that Leah's father was so blessed, according to Leah's age, this woman was at least close to fifty years old, but she couldn't see it at all from her appearance.

The skin is well maintained, the key is white, so white that even the blood vessels can be seen.

Don't they all say that one white covers three ugliness, and besides, people's facial features are very good, and there are no wrinkles on their faces.

"Did Xiao Huihui's brother get it?" the woman was wearing a plaid cotton skirt with a blue apron tied on her chest, and she immediately smiled and bent her brows when she saw the group.

She is also fluent in Mandarin.

"Mom, it's just him, do you think it's handsome or not. Leah said as she tugged Guo Yongkun's arm.

"Oh my God, such a handsome lad from the East. The woman quipped, "I suddenly regret that I got married early." ”

I said, madam, you are so old, can you not be naughty?

Guo Yongkun smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Huihui is here. Then a man appeared behind the woman.

It's quite tall, more than 1.8 meters, and it can be seen through some loose skin that he was also a handsome guy when he was young. No wonder in this foreign country, you can still marry a beautiful daughter-in-law.

"Yes, Uncle Wu. ”

Guo Yonghui is obviously very familiar with them.

"Who is your brother?"

Leah drove the car in the store to pick up Guo Yongkun, and the boss obviously knew about it.

"Xiao Kun, let me introduce you, this is Uncle Wu, whose ancestral home is Hujian. ”

Guo Yongkun called Uncle with his sister, and after a few simple greetings, the boss Uncle Wu did not delay, afraid that they would be hungry, so he hurried back to the kitchen to cook.

Leah brought the tea, and the group put together the two tables and sat together.

"Sister, where do you live?"

It's really hard to say how long this trip to the United States will take, Guo Yongkun and the others naturally want to have a place to live, so he definitely wants to live closer to his sister.

And this matter will have to be solved after eating.

"It's right in Chinatown, a five-minute drive from here. It's also close to the school, about a 10-minute walk. ”

Guo Yonghui attended Columbia University, which is not as famous as Harvard and Cambridge, but it is also an Ivy League school.

Three U.S. presidents have studied here, as well as the famous Chinese poet Xu Zhimo.

Guo Yongkun still remembers a statistic that as of 2017, this school has given birth to a total of 99 Nobel Prizes.

Guo Yonghui only boarded at Columbia University for half a year, and then moved to Chinatown, not far from the school, because of the theft of property.

When I first came to the United States, I was unfamiliar with the place and it would be more convenient to live in a Chinese area, which proved to be the case, so I haven't moved until now.

"Is there a house over there?"

Guo Yongkun doesn't care whether he is high-grade or not, he can live with his sister, which is better than a five-star hotel.

Guo Yonghui was stunned and asked, "You want to live here too?"

She knew that her brother came here to do big business this time, and it was a little inappropriate to live in Chinatown.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a place to sleep. Guo Yongkun smiled and nodded.

As for the company, he certainly wouldn't be located in Chinatown.

"Yes, there should be, but we have to look for it. ”

Guo Yongkun made an ok gesture and was ready to go after eating.

Meals were served quickly.

As soon as Guo Yongkun looked at the appearance, he knew that it was a typical Hakka dish, and the taste was not bad.

"That, Uncle Wu, this is not enough, please stir-fry a few more dishes. Guo Yongkun greeted Uncle Wu, who had already washed his hands.

"Brother Guo, can you eat so much?"

Leah, who was "rubbing rice" on the side, was surprised, you must know that because the other party and his party had just come to the United States, she had already discussed with Huihui that this had already served a big meal, a total of eight dishes.

"It's not me, it's him. Guo Yongkun directly threw the pot to Li Youyou.

The latter smiled and said, "It's really a little less." ”

If the rice is not enough, these eight dishes can be solved by one person.

Uncle Wu is naturally not worried but happy, who will have too much money to buy?

Because the dishes just served were ordered in advance, he took the menu and handed it to Guo Yongkun.

Guo Yongkun threw it directly to Li Youyou.

The latter is also not polite, after all, only when you are full and strong can you better protect the boss. With a wave of his hand, he felt that any dish was delicious, and he ordered seven or eight dishes in one go.

This made Leah a little anxious, and subconsciously pulled the corner of Guo Yonghui's clothes next to her, biting the root of her ear and saying, "Huihui, do you have so much money to pay, if it's not enough, I'll tell my dad first." ”

Huihui had already told her about this meal, and she came to treat her, after all, her brother came to the United States for the first time.

Although Leah's voice was very small, Guo Yongkun was sitting next to his sister and still heard it. I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Through this sentence, he knew that after so many years, his sister still hasn't changed, and a penny is broken in half, but I'm afraid that in the eyes of others, he is just a little less poor and sour than an international student who doesn't need to wash dishes.

Guo Yonghui glanced at her friend and knew that the other party didn't know anything about her purse. But I don't blame her, she's not the kind of person who shouts around when she has a little money.

Usually you can withdraw money from an ATM, and if it doesn't matter, it will never exceed $100.

She can live for half a month for a hundred dollars alone.

"Don't worry, it's enough. ”

"Yo, it's terrible, my brother came over, and the whole person became arrogant. ”

Leah is happy, this meal should be the biggest deal in recent times.

"That's right. Suddenly thinking of something, she looked at Guo Yongkun again and asked, "Brother Guo, why are you coming to the United States, are the air tickets not cheap?"

"Get a little business. ”

"Yes, I heard my dad say that China's economic environment is very bad, can you do business in the United States now?"

"There are exceptions to everything. ”

To a certain extent, Guo Yongkun still has some similarities with his sister, and he will not shout about how rich he is.

"So you're the exception?" Leah asked with a grin, "And how much money do you have?"

"Sister Leah, this is personal privacy. ”

"Cut...... Stingy!" Leah pouted angrily.

But I was actually very excited, since the other party went all the way to the United States to do business, he must have a bit of net worth, and there must be more than 11 or 200,000 US dollars, otherwise he should not dare to make such a wave.

This is rich and beautiful, and it can be described as the best......

Hmph! Sensei wanted to slip out of the palm of this girl's hand.

There is no mistake
