Ben is a guy with thick skin as a wall.

Sun Laosan owed more than $200 to the nearby grocery store, and insisted that he would wait until the end of the year to settle the bill together.

So much so that recently, Han Chudong helped this master to buy things, and the old woman would not give Han Chudong a good look, and would ask him to help urge him every time.

Han Chudong told Sun Laosan that he only regarded it as a deaf ear, and had no intention of settling it out.

I didn't say I wouldn't give it, I just didn't want to give it for the time being.

Soon recovered from the state of being dug by the apprentice, Le He asked: "What's the matter, I don't want to be an apprentice here, I want to take over your father's class, and I also get into the bureau? That's pretty good, Han Yigun is a sheriff anyway, don't talk about other places, it shouldn't be difficult for you to enter the police station in our Chinatown." ”

Han Chudong shook his head and said: "I don't know if it's difficult, I never thought of mixing with him, that can't satisfy my appetite, I want to make a lot of money." Put the picture in Time magazine, and Hollywood female stars will go crazy when they see me. ”

"What about dreaming, are you Wang An, the richest Chinese in the United States?"

Sun Laosan threw a radio to him and continued:

"Hurry up and finish it, customers will come to pick it up later, don't dream here all day. When I was a child, I thought I could become the new king of the world, but now I am not messing around here, I have seen a lot of guys like you.

Those female stars make a lot of money, and they want to make them crazy, unless you are a big star like Clark Gable and Gary Grant, or you have to become a rich second generation like Howard Hughes, at least you have to have a ...... Five million dollars is enough. ”

There was a bit of ridicule in his words, and Han Chudong was incapacitated.

Five million US dollars, I dare not think about Sun Laosan, and I will only torture myself if I think about it.

It's also very far away from Han Chudong, but you can add some oil to fight for it.

Unlike this master, he didn't feel confused about the road ahead, but instead stayed in this repair shop for nearly a week, making Han Chudong feel that he was about to become a salted fish.

was holding a screwdriver and preparing to disassemble the radio, when he heard this, Han Chudong was stunned for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said something that made Sun Laosan feel arrogant.

He said: "Wang An's computer is still on a good scale, if it can't seize the next wave of opportunities this time, maybe one day it will be bankrupt." ”

"You toad sitting in the well and watching the sky, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, I won't say anything if you want to soak the white girl before, maybe the other party is blind.

Do you know what the concept of assets of hundreds of millions of dollars is, others earn more money in a day than we earn in a lifetime, I advise you not to think blindly, in the end it is still yourself who suffers. ”

Sun Laosan thinks that he has eaten more salt in his life than Han Chudong has eaten.

Seeing that this apprentice's mind suddenly became active, he only thought about waking him up from his daydream, so as not to lose money in the end, and miss the opportunity to learn the craft.

Han Chudong just turned up the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "Look at the door of other people's restaurants, how many ornaments with money in the mouth of the toad are placed on the cash register, even if I am a toad, it is also the kind of golden toad, when I make money, don't cry and beg me to lend you a wife." ”

"Heh, if you kid wait to make a lot of money, I'll eat the world of this Chinatown as a public archway!"

Glancing at the landmark archway, Han Chudong smacked his lips and sighed: "When you eat it, remember to tell me how it tastes." ”

Talking about this, Sun Laosan completely thought Han Chudong was joking, so he also smiled and said:

"Hurry up and learn, it's good to have a smart brain, and in a few months, it is estimated that you will be able to stand on your own, and let your family worry less in the future."

Others don't say it, just your grandfather, the old Chinese in Chinatown in that era have suffered a lot, and they are often blocked by people to collect protection money, otherwise you wouldn't choose to do this business, it's much cleaner now, I heard others casually mention it......"

——————————

I once came to Chinatown, probably 42 years later.

In 1973, walking on the main road of Chinatown, there was a sense of dilapidation and dilapidation.

The old Chinese who came to the United States for various reasons lived here as early as more than 100 years ago, and the scale gradually grew, forming the current Los Angeles Chinatown.

It's certainly not as bustling as downtown Los Angeles, but it's pretty good to look at.

Some small shops have been feeding generations and are small and old, but some families have the only source of livelihood.

In the past few years, no one helped or managed, this "city within a city" was forgotten by many Los Angeles residents, and the life rooted in the United States was not as comfortable as people imagined.

There are many gangsters on the street, unscrupulously showing their tattoos, as if this can deter others, and there are also honest craftsmen, carrying sugar gourds or tofu brains and big steamed buns all over the street.

The walls and pillars are plastered with calligraphy and painting advertisements, the old women who set up stalls at random are shouting and selling vegetables, there are old men pinching candy at the mouth of the alley, and the dirty water after washing is splashed on the road at will, attracting angry eyes from passers-by, and the bicycle bell rings from time to time.

The sun was high overhead.

Some people set up a table in the store just after lunch, turn on the electric fan and call friends to play mahjong, and there are also people who play chess and Go, which is quite humane.

It is suitable for middle-aged people who have no edges and corners, and it is more suitable for the elderly who only know the neighborhood and neighborhood, but it is not suitable for young people.

Amazing changes are taking place in the big cities, and it's like time has stood still in the '50s or even '40s.

After Han Chudong met the fourth gang of gangsters, he probably understood why he would rather take out a loan than move away with his family......

Take a look and come to the door of the dry goods store opened by my grandfather, I came once last week, and I still remember the road.

There are also dry goods stores next to it, all kinds of things are piled up at the door, and they move out every morning, and if they can't sell them, they move back in the evening, and the business is not good.

Han Chudong listened to his Lao Tzu's persuasion, saying that he would not open it after the lease expired, the old man stubbornly wanted to continue to work, and when he was old, he was most afraid of being idle, and most of them wanted to continue to help the family.

At this moment, seeing the old man standing at the door of the dry goods store with a smile on his face, he was inexplicably touched.

When I had an accident, I felt that I was myself, and they were outsiders. At this moment, he suddenly realized that after becoming Han Chudong, they were the closest people in the world.

In order to make the old man happy, he didn't hesitate to smile, and approached and asked, "Have you eaten?" There is no business at noon, I will sleep in the store later." My dad said you stewed fish maw, so expensive things to keep for sale, it's better to give me a braised little rooster. ”

The old man smiled even deeper: "I want to eat a little rooster, I'll go to the vegetable market tomorrow morning to buy it, and I'll send it to the repair shop for you at noon......"
