Chapter 4 Anyone can do this kind of work
Hell freedom.
After seeing the feather duster and the expression on his father's face, he was stunned for a second.
The next morning.
When Han Chudong stood on the side of the road at the exit of Chinatown, staring at the sign of the small electrical appliance repair shop, he still couldn't figure out why he was slapped in the face.
I clearly didn't want to come, but I had to give in to Daddy Han.
It is estimated that it is the instinctive stress reaction left in this body, and he can't even say the reason for thinking about it, and he originally planned to have a showdown, saying that he was ready to start a business.
Now those words have been swallowed back.
It is estimated that even if he said it, his elders would not believe it, but they were thinking of some crooked idea.
Chinese parents have always liked to save money, but if they don't think that their children are adults, they won't give it to their offspring, whether it's in their home country or in Los Angeles, thousands of kilometers away.
So until Han Chudong can prove that he is really different from the past, don't think that he can get the little savings they have worked hard to save from the elders, and he will not even have the freedom to choose his life.
Chinese parents like to let their children go down the path they feel is right, even if that path is not necessarily right, and it is not too wrong, in most cases, these parents are often right, and they have more say in how they live their lives.
If Han Chudong is still the same Han Chudong as before, it is of course a good thing to learn the craft of repairing household appliances, but unfortunately the situation has become very different now.
At this moment, he withdrew his gaze and let out a long sigh.
Thinking about spending some time in this repair shop first, it is best to save some money by yourself, and only after the survival problem is solved can you have a voice at home, so that you don't even have to listen to your own arrangement to eat a few buns.
Hiccup, it's the taste of meat buns.
Han Chudong didn't eat enough, but the middle-aged greasy man next to him who was wearing a uniform and handcuffs around his waist said that eating too much was not good for his health.
What can I do, I don't have the money to buy it myself, I am under the roof, and I have to bow my head.
He Lao Tzu stood there, and he didn't mean to take his son in, and reminded him with a serious face:
"Don't think this job is bad, then follow the master to learn more, and strive to open your own shop as soon as possible. I would like you to be a lawyer or a doctor, but you don't have to fight yourself, and your mother and I did our best.
If you don't have a skill, you will starve to death sooner or later, although it is my son, but even I think that you have this face left to make do, I knew that I should send you to the martial arts gym since I was a child, and strive to be the second Bruce Lee. ”
suddenly thought that this Chinese superstar died young some time ago, and was affected by the growth atmosphere, taboo this, and felt unlucky, so he added a sentence: "I mean his ability to make money, as well as his ability to find a daughter-in-law." ”
In this era, Xiangjiang movies have not yet risen, let alone the mainland.
As the first global promoter of Chinese kung fu and the first Chinese protagonist in Hollywood, Bruce Lee was hailed by the media as an "immortal oriental legend" after his death, and his popularity is undoubted.
It can be said that in the Chinese circle in the United States, his status is higher than that of the mayor of Los Angeles, and he has found a beautiful white daughter-in-law, which is also the reason why Han's father is envious and emotional.
Although no one wants to admit it, it is an indisputable fact that most white girls in this era will not choose Chinese as their husbands, and the status of the entire group in society is far from being compared with that of the 21st century.
Digging into the reasons for this, being excluded by the social atmosphere is one thing, it is difficult to integrate into the mainstream group, and it is marginalized.
This has a lot to do with the famous Chinese Exclusion Act, which was repealed in 1943 in 1882, but in California, the prohibition of Chinese intermarriage with whites was not repealed until 1948.
In other states, similar laws continued until 1967, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the ban on interracial marriage was unconstitutional.
Counting the time, until 1973, only six years have passed, before which Chinese could not marry white people, and even if they had children, they would be discriminated against.
This era is not the best era for Han Chudong, but it is not the worst era, it has come, so I have to go with the flow......
He gave a dollar for today's meal, and threatened to patrol the neighborhood recently, and if he saw Han Chudong being lazy, he would break his other leg.
When a father always thinks that it is natural to beat his son, how can he care what his son thinks.
On crutches, he said impatiently that he knew.
Han Chudong just took a few steps forward, secretly rolled his eyes, a pack of cigarettes was stuffed into his hand, and continued to hear the sound of instructions, saying that he was learning more and asking more questions, and being smart.
————————
With an embarrassed face, Han's father, who was worried that his son would give up halfway again, left, walked and swayed, greeting acquaintances from time to time.
In the appliance repair shop, only a thin man sits, the electric fan whirring and flies circling around the rice bowl.
Radios, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., fill the small and small shops, and only a passage is left for walking.
There is also a small stall in the door, which mainly sells old TVs and old radios, which are old appliances that have been replaced in other people's homes, and maybe there are also new ones, and the goods in that condition will be sold quickly.
Han Chudong entered the repair shop, kicked his injured foot into the washing machine, and inhaled in pain, after hearing the voice, the middle-aged man who looked at him in his thirties and forties turned around and asked, "Repair things or buy things?"
"No, my dad asked me to come over and be an apprentice with you, my surname is Han, Han Chudong. ”
"Oh oh oh! Han Yigun's son, right, your dad said hello to me, have you ever learned this before?"
Thinking about it carefully, Han Chudong said, "Probably ordered, but why did you call him Han Yigun?"
"Because your father's mantra is to cause trouble again and shoot you with one shot, you don't even know that you are a son?"
The middle-aged people are more or less in awe of the gang in the police station, which is not very powerful, but it is enough to make them shopkeepers unlucky.
felt that it was not good to mention these things to Han Chudong, so he immediately said: "Just listen to it, don't tell your father." There is a radio here, you unscrew the screws, remove the back cover, and I'll teach you the rest, don't call the master not the master, you don't have that ability, just call me Sun Laosan. ”
Han Chudong is not a nervous character, nodded and replied: "Then call you third brother, come to a cigarette?"
"Camel smoke with a filter, I like the kind without a filter, the smoke is strong, I just smoked it after breakfast, you put it here first, I will prepare a set of tools for you, put it away and don't throw it away." ”
Hearing this, he put a whole pack there, Han Chudong doesn't smoke, maybe he smoked some before, and when he was lying in bed in bed two weeks ago, he obviously had some adverse reactions after quitting smoking, which has been overcome, and it is best not to smoke if he can.
He has watched the future American drama "Mad Men", and clearly remembers that people in this era are not very clear about the harm of cigarettes, and the official anti-smoking propaganda and anti-smoking measures have not kept up, and five of the ten people on the way here just now have the smell of smoke on their bodies.
When we first met, I didn't mention the consequences of these bad smoking, especially the cigarettes without filters, which were equivalent to pouring e-cigarette oil into my throat and lungs.
He replied, "Okay, which radio, what's wrong?"
"This one, the red one, clean it up by yourself, move a stool and sit next to me to fix it, if you learn quickly, you will be able to leave the school in half a year at most."
Xiao Han, it's not me bragging to you, your dad found me here is right, someone moved a scary expensive Sharp LCD TV a few days ago, and it wasn't easy for me to get it, that thing is near us, only I will fix it!"
As a master, this is to establish his own powerful image in Han Chudong's heart.
In the seventies, the company was already very strong in the manufacturing industry, and after receiving the support of the United States, it almost copied whatever it wanted, and entered a period of rapid development in the manufacturing industry.
For the sake of the overall situation, the people in Washington on the east coast turned a blind eye, and some of the appearance of the car was directly copied from the best-selling models of other countries, and the electrical appliances were also rising, and the market share in the world was rising day by day.
Now Sharp is already quite powerful,The so-called LCD TV,It is the ancestor of the future LCD TV,It must be much clearer than the one in Han Chudong's house。
One boasted about himself, and the other had just become an apprentice, patting his ass without a trace on the side.
A few minutes passed, and seeing Han Chudong put the back cover of the radio back, Sun Laosan wondered and asked, "Why did you put it back, I haven't repaired it yet." ”
"I've fixed it, the inside of the antenna is broken, I found a one from the same factory from that pile of parts to replace it, you listen. ”
After Han Chudong finished speaking, he first installed the battery and turned on the machine, and a singing voice came out of the radio.
This made Sun Laosan, who had just become a master, very non-existent, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "Not bad, yes, I'll find another one for you to practice later, anyone can do this kind of work, you can't be complacent......"
