Chapter 340: Detroit

Detroit was still thriving in the early '80s, with a few major auto giants that provided plenty of jobs for locals and a large number of black laborers.

Because of the constant struggle of the trade unions, the wages of auto workers are already much higher than the local average, and a worker can support a large family, and the quality of life is not bad.

Zhong Yuemin and Johnny walked out of the airport, and the smell of engine oil and rubber tires was in the air.

Johnny took a deep breath and said happily, "That's what home tastes like!"

"You're not afraid of lead poisoning?" Zhong Yuemin pouted in disgust.

"No, it's a sweet smell, how can it be poisoned?!" Johnny had a question mark on his face.

Zhong Yuemin quietly put on his mask, "This is your territory, you lead the way." ”

"Of course! I would have called my brother Kevin, he should be there in a moment!"

"Is that over there?" Zhong Yuemin looked around and pointed to a thin man in a denim suit who was flirting with a girl not far away.

"Oh my god, I wonder if he forgot to pick us up!" Johnny patted his head.

Kevin and Johnny look quite similar, except that Kevin is twice thinner than his brother and his skin is a little pale.

When Zhong Yuemin and Johnny approached, Kevin was making a few girls laugh, completely forgetting about picking up people.

"Hello, girls!" Johnny beckoned as she squeezed into the crowd and hugged the girls.

"Wow!" the girls exclaimed at the sight of the muscular Johnny, and immediately abandoned Kevin and threw themselves into Johnny's arms.

"Damn! every time!" Kevin said in frustration, "You just have a little more muscle than me, you big muscle!!"

"No, no, no, not only do I have more muscles than you, but I also have a higher IQ than you, and now I have more money than you!" Johnny said to his brother shyly.

Kevin's face turned pale, he jumped into his sports car in a huff, stepped on the accelerator and screamed, "Hurry up and get in the car!"

"Alright, girls, I'll see you later!" Johnny waved goodbye to the girls.

When Kevin thought that Johnny and Zhong Yuemin would catch his sports car, he saw Johnny wave and a Rolls-Royce drove not far away, followed by two Humvees.

"The road ahead, we followed. Johnny dropped a word at Kevin and went to Rolls-Royce with Kevin.

Kevin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and with one foot on the accelerator, the sports car quickly rushed out.

"You've arranged everything, why are you letting Kevin pick you up?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"I just want him to see!" Johnny laughed, "It's kind of my brother's encouragement to him." ”

Zhong Yuemin had a black line, "Are you sure Kevin can accept your 'well-intentioned' encouragement? I'm afraid that you will not be destroyed into scum, right?"

"It doesn't matter, if I can't bear it, then I can only express regret. Johnny shrugged.

Zhong Yuemin thought to himself, this Nima is not an enemy!

……

Johnny's home is on the outskirts of Detroit, with a typical bungalow lawn, and when they arrived, they were warmly welcomed by Johnny's family and neighbors.

Johnny's mom hugged him and kissed, "This is my little JOJO, my little JOJO is back!"

Her mother estimated that it was almost 200 kilograms, and she dragged her baby son to show off to the neighbors.

"Mom, I've grown up!" Johnny was hugged by his mother, unable to move, looking helpless.

Zhong Yuemin could only express deep sympathy, and then walked out to greet his father.

Johnny's father was also a fat man, tall and strong, and his fan-like palm firmly held Zhong Yuemin's hand, shaking it desperately.

"Thank you, Mr. Min, for your help to my son!"

Fortunately, Zhong Yuemin had practiced, otherwise his hand would have been broken.

"Mr. Smith, you are wrong, it was Johnny who helped me!" Zhong Yuemin quietly withdrew his hand, "Without Johnny, Wall-E would not have been so successful. ”

"Johnny has been naughty since he was a child, he dismantled toys and alarm clocks when he was a child, he dismantled cars when he grew up, he fell in love with football in high school, but he majored in computer science in college!" Smith complained with pride, and said to his old neighbors: "I was still worried about what job he would find after graduation, but I didn't expect him to be able to mix to this point!"

"Johnny wasn't your average kid from a young age......"

"Johnny is amazing......"

"Johnny is the pride of our entire community......

……

Zhong Yuemin listened for a while and found that there was nothing new for Americans to praise their children, and it was similar to the uncles and aunts in Beijing's hutongs.

In later generations, many people advocated that American children should be independent at the age of 18, move out of their homes, and pay their own college tuition.

In fact, it's all, those who do this are poor, and their parents can't even take care of themselves, let alone their children. Not to mention the United States, China is the same, those who are poor should drop out of school, and those who should go out to work have to work, isn't it independent?!

The Anglo-Saxon whites of the United States are Protestant, and the family concept is extremely traditional, and to some extent very similar to the Chinese.

Parents like Johnny have been there to emphasize that they are heartbroken for the growth of their two children, and how to train their brothers to become talents, anyway, they are showing off.

"JOJO, why don't I know your name?" Zhong Yuemin looked at Johnny and laughed.

"Oh, Jesus!" Johnny broke down, "Leave me alone, I don't want anyone to know about it!"

"It depends on how you behave. Zhong Yuemin smiled: "But your parents really love you." ”

"I know, it's just that they always treat me like a child, ignoring the fact that I've been dating girls for a long time. Johnny said helplessly.

"JOJO, COME HERE, WE'VE MADE YOUR FAVORITE BARBECUE!"

"Wait a minute, Mom. Johnny replied.

"Come on, add your favorite sweet and chili sauce. ”

"Wait a minute......

"I baked it for you, if you don't come, you'll be eaten!"

"Oh my God!" Johnny went crazy, "yes, Mom, I'll be right here." ”

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but smile, "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”

……

Johnny's barbecue was marinated in a secret seasoning, and it was said to be the best in the community, so the family often gathered a large group of people to barbecue and drink in the yard when they had nothing to do.

After eating a few pieces of barbecue, Johnny naturally took the barbecue tongs from her mother and served the people.

"You're pretty skilled. Zhong Yuemin looked at Johnny and said.

"Oh, shit!" Johnny stared blankly at the clip in his hand, "Why did I start roasting again! I swore I'd never do it again!"

"What's the story?" Zhong Yuemin said curiously.

Johnny was frustrated: "It's a boring story about a poor kid who is forced to barbecue every weekend······"

"Hahaha······" Zhong Yuemin let out a sympathetic laugh.

······

"Mr. Mike, why are we squatting here so stupidly?" asked a little boy with his hand raised.

Mike put his hands behind his back and didn't answer him directly, but called the other child, "Liam, tell me why?"

"Because, because it's only here that you squat to have a hamburger to eat. Liam stammered.

"Tommy, tell me. Mike called another child.

"If you tie us down, we won't fight!"

"Hahaha······" Seven or eight children squatting in a row laughed.

Mike wasn't annoyed, he said slowly, "You all go back and think about it, and we'll discuss it in a week." Now it's all there, I'm going to check!"

The children immediately straightened their hands, their bodies tensed, and some of them bit their lips so hard that the beads of sweat on their faces suddenly rained down.

While Mike was instructing the children one by one, Zhong Yuemin and Johnny had been standing under the awning of the cold drink truck next to them for a while.

"I didn't expect Mike, who was reckless to be, is now decent!" Johnny sighed as he licked the ice cream cone.

"He was fighting with me. Zhong Yuemin recalled the first time they met and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's go, let's go cheer him up. Johnny said.

“OK。 Zhong Yuemin nodded and said to the cold drink truck vendor: "Give you fifty dollars, and make cones for those children in a while." ”

"No problem!"

······

"Legs straight, butt down!" Mike corrected a child's posture.

"Do the kids want ice cream?" shouted Johnny, catching the attention of all the children, and he couldn't even hold his horse's footsteps.

Zhong Yuemin: "Hurry up and go to the catering car over there, it's all free!"

"Oooh oh ······" Now the children couldn't help it, and they all howled and rushed out.

Mike was stunned and looked at Zhong Yuemin and Johnny who suddenly appeared, "Master, why are you here?"

"We're here to see if you're really working hard for your dreams. Zhong Yuemin pretended to be serious, "It looks good at the moment!"

"I'm really trying, but it's really hard!" Mike complained, "It took me three months to find eight kids who wanted to learn from me!

"That's good!" Johnny said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to find anyone!"

"Thank you, I'll just compliment me as you!" Mike wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, "Master, have you eaten?"

"Are you going to treat us to a free burger?" Zhong Yuemin joked.

"No, there are only nine of these burgers, and you don't have any of them!" Mike said, "I can order a pizza for you!"

"Forget it, Johnny and I should invite you to eat!" Zhong Yuemin beckoned to the bodyguards beside him, and after a while, several food trucks drove in the park like magic.

"Barbecue, Chinese food, burritos, fried chicken, hot dogs, ······" Mike looked at them one by one, and the haras were about to flow out, "Master, what is this?"

"We've got them all covered!" Zhong Yuemin said to the children who were still licking the cone in his hand: "It's all free, you guys let go of eating, you can eat whatever you want!"

"Wow!" the children's jaws dropped, what was happening in front of them was beyond their imagination!

"Sir!" asked the little boy named Liam, "can I eat as much as I want?"

"You can eat as much as you want, but you can't break your stomach!" Zhong Yuemin replied.

"Sir, can I take it home if I can't finish eating?" asked another child.

"Who will you take home and eat?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"Give me my younger siblings to eat, I have four younger siblings, and they don't have enough to eat every day!"

Zhong Yuemin touched his head, "You are really a good brother, you can bring as much as you want, as long as you don't waste it!"

"We won't waste food, sir, I promise!"

"Go ahead, pick food for your siblings. ”

"I ordered some Chinese food for my mom, she hasn't eaten it yet······"

"I want it too, I want it too······ I'm going to give it to my brother, he likes meat!"

······

Children flocked to the food truck, smiling brightly.

Mike looked at the children and felt in his heart, "It turns out that having money can really make people happy!"

"No, satisfying your appetite is only temporary, and what you are doing is even greater!" Zhong Yuemin patted him on the shoulder, "What you have changed is their life!"

"Mike, come on!" Johnny cheered him on, "I can't think of anything cooler than this, you teach them kung fu, give them courage and faith, that's the real joy!"

Mike looked at the two of them and burst into tears, "Thank you, thank you for understanding me! My family said I was crazy, gave up a high-paying job, and went back to the worst neighborhood in Detroit to teach kung fu to the kids, and they all said I was a real fool!"

"You are indeed a fool, but there are too many smart people in our world, and we really need some fools like you to make this cold world have some warmth!" Zhong Yuemin put his arm around Mike, "Mike, thank you for the warmth you bring to this world!"

Johnny also hugged Mike, "My people and I decided to set up a charitable foundation to help you teach kung fu to children, and as long as you want, the foundation will always be sustainable!"

"I have money······" Mike refused.

"Don't refuse, we can't help you now except money!" Zhong Yuemin said: "If you have money, you can find more like-minded people and help more children!"

“······” Mike's lips trembled, "Master, there's one more thing you can help me with." ”

"You say, I'll help you. ”

Five minutes later, Zhong Yuemin couldn't wait to travel through time and space and retract what he said, of course, it was a joke.

Under the big sun, Zhong Yuemin and Mike fought against each other for several rounds, and the children watched with relish and their eyes were full of brilliance, but Zhong Yuemin's clothes were soaked several times, and there were salt flowers on his back.

"Do you want to be as good as Mr. Min?" asked Mike.

"Yes!" the children said in unison.

"Then you have to take a good horse step, and when you can continue to do a horse step for half an hour, you can learn more powerful kung fu!"

"Good!"
