Chapter 2 Confusion

Mader walked blankly on the way to Chinatown, ready to try his luck again to see if he could get a job. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, there was a cheer on the basketball court on the street, and Mader decided to take a look at American streetball.

Ma De himself is a basketball enthusiast, and his height of 183 cm is also outstanding in Sichuan, and he is the most dazzling one on the basketball court from elementary school to high school.

I used to plan to develop in sports, but in the end, my general physical fitness shattered his dream.

Mader walked into the barbed wire fence on the side of the court and looked inside, just in time to see a black man slamming out at the free-throw line.

This kind of jumping dunk from the free throw line, which has only been seen on TV, ignited Mader's basketball passion instantly.

The court was obviously preparing for a game, with a group of people practicing under each end of the basket, surrounded by a large number of spectators.

After all, Ma De is only 18 years old, and when he saw what he liked, he instantly put his sorrow behind and decided to watch the game for a while and go to Chinatown.

Of course, Mader didn't dare to go into the stadium to watch the game, most of them were blacks, and it would be bad if they were robbed.

The legend that blacks love to rob Asians, the unlucky ones 1 and 2 have told a lot to Mader during this time.

The game officially started in less than 5 points, this is a 3V3 game, there are 2 players who are more attractive to Mader, one is the guy who dunked at the free throw line just now, the height is about 185, he looks thin and thin but his hands and feet are slender, and he looks like a bad guy with tattoos all over his body. The other one is more special, a big fat man of about 2 meters, yes a big fat man, really fat, just like the current big shark body shape, but this guy is very flexible, just now he actually used a crotch to change direction past the opponent's defender.

After a game, Ma De fully realized the development of the foundation of American basketball, and felt that these two guys were better than anyone he had seen before (in reality).

Of course, he also understands the gap between street ball and regular games, and doesn't think how good these two are at playing official games. At least the shooting accuracy is much worse than his own, although the physical fitness, dribbling and so on are indeed strong.

Anyone who has really played a regular game knows that 10 big men stand in the half court, and the comparison is the instantaneous speed of one to two seconds and whether they can resist people's physical strength and shooting accuracy. Instead of thinking about the fancy dribbling skills or slam dunk skills of these guys in front of you.

Ma De's hands began to itch after watching it for a long time, and he hadn't touched a basketball for more than a month.

Just as Mader was hesitating whether to go in and play two, one of the black men inside suddenly got into a with another black man.

Ma De immediately turned around and walked towards Chinatown, he didn't want to be the target of robbery.

Today Ma De was lucky, as soon as he walked to a restaurant near Chinatown, he saw a job posting - handyman.

After negotiating the salary with the restaurant owner, Mader can go to work tomorrow.

Without food and lodging, he goes to work at 5 p.m. and leaves work at 10 p.m. every day, with a weekly salary of $200. This is definitely the price of exploitation by the Chinese against the Chinese.

If his English is better, he can go to McDonald's, KFC or other fast food spots to work, with an hourly wage of $12, and a burger for 6 hours.

Of course, the current Ma De is not very demanding, and it is enough to survive in the United States.

After finding a job, Mader decides to confess to the two unlucky guys.

After returning to the apartment, Ma De called Wang Yong, who was surfing the Internet in the room, and Li Decai, who was watching ***, out.

"I was deceived, my third uncle just called me and said that he took $20,000 from my family to pay off his gambling debts, and now he has run away. Now I don't know what to do. It turns out that the third uncle is a liar, he is from some academy at all, he is in Chinatown...."

Before Ma De could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Yong.

"Don't be too sad, Lao Ma, I know that it's not so easy to study at New York Business School, what are you going to do now? Do you want to finish these 6 months or go back to China? ”

"I've got a job in Chinatown now, and I'm going to finish the remaining six months." Mader returned.

As soon as Wang Yong heard that Ma De was going to finish reading for 6 months, his face immediately became ugly.

"Well, that's right, after all, I spent money to study, but if you plan to live in this apartment that the fat man and I rent in the future, you also need to calculate the money. It just so happened that Brother Liu graduated and returned to China last month, the house was empty, and the price of our rent was 3,000 US dollars a month, and if you live in the future, you will give me and the fat man 500 yuan (a total of 1,000 US dollars) every month, and the water and electricity bills will be shared equally. What do you think? ”

The fat man, that is, Li Decai, was not very happy when he heard Wang Yong's words on the side, knowing that Ma De's house was sold for him to come to the United States, it was all Chinese who heard that Ma De was deceived, and was ready to help, and did not plan to ask Ma De for the room fee.

The fat man immediately objected, "Old Ma, you can give this money to Wang Yong every month, and I'll forget it." You know that my family is not rich but there is no shortage of this, so you can live here with confidence. However, Wang Yong and I still have more than 2 months to finish the language school, if we can't pass the application for admission to a regular university, what will you do then? ”

The fat man's words made Wang Yong's face instantly difficult to look at, although his family is not China's top rich, but it is also a big family with a head and a face in Shanxi. However, the old Wang Yong did not immediately refute the fat man's words, in his opinion, Li De is a 'friend', Ma De is just a 'passerby', Wang Yong is not stupid for a passer-by to turn his face with a friend.

The fat man's words also hit Mader's heart, and he was really confused about his future life when he first came to the United States, and he didn't know what he should do. If he had money, he would rather buy a plane ticket back to China now, but he had no way back at the moment when he even sold his hometown house.

Ma De could only grit his teeth and stubbornly said, "I will definitely continue to study in the language school." Saying that, he glanced at Wang Yong, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't plan to live here, I'm going to move to Chinatown." ”

In New York, Chinatown is home to Chinese and synonymous with poor neighborhoods.

Hearing Ma De's words, knowing that he would not be in Wang Yong, who lived here, had no interest in talking, and he didn't have the patience to talk to the passer-by Wang Dashao, Wang Yong immediately turned around and went directly into his bedroom.

Seeing Wang Yong's actions, Li Decai could only gently pat Ma De on the shoulder and help him pack his luggage. In the same way, Li Decai took care of Ma De just out of sympathy, and Ma De and he did not get the share of friends.

In this way, the poor and white Mader walked out of this apartment building in Midtown Manhattan with his luggage, and Mader, who was deceived of nothing when he first arrived in New York at the age of 18, was full of confusion about the future.
