Chapter 125: Legends

After eating the crab, Ju An wiped his hands and was ready to check out and leave, at this time the door opened, and a short Chinese old man in his sixties walked in, and as soon as he came in, he opened his voice and said in Chinese: "Hurry up and come out two people, help get the dishes down!" "A native northern dialect.

The boss hurriedly shouted at the old man: "Lao Zhao, why is it so late today, it's time to be a guest soon, you just came, I've been waiting for a long time."

The old man, known as Lao Zhao, saw the boss doing it next to Ju'an's table, and also walked over, sat down on the table, and the big horse golden knife was very imposing, patted the boss's shoulder and said to the boss: "Good boy, old Zhao and Lao Zhao all day long, you are not afraid of losing your life, call me Uncle Zhao, drive for half a day, get you a cup of ice water for Uncle Zhao" looked at Ju An next to the table and said: "This young man is raw, see you for the first time."

The boss hurriedly beckoned the guy to get a glass of water for Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao drank most of the cup at once, and the boss explained to Lao Zhao: "This young man is my guest and came to Los Angeles to see his girlfriend."

Ju An hurriedly introduced: "My surname is Ju, the residence where I live, you always call me Xiaoju."

The boss smiled and said to Ju An: "Lao Zhao is a legend of Chinese descent in Los Angeles, if you live in Los Angeles for a long time, someone will definitely tell you the story."

Lao Zhao glared at the boss and said to Ju An with a smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's all a few years ago, who remembers, don't say it and let the young man laugh at it, my little thing is worth talking about, besides, the newspaper also reported that a beggar occupied a big villa."

When Lao Zhao mentioned this, Ju'an's curiosity was raised, and he asked Lao Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, why don't you tell me this legendary story, I really want to hear it when the boss says this."

The boss smiled and said to Ju An: "It's the fact that Lao Zhao forcibly occupied more than ten acres of land in Lao Mei, it was a sensational news at that time, and it was interviewed on TV, and Lao Zhao was also on TV, majestic."

Ju An said with a smile: "Then I want to hear it even more, I got a piece of land to use as a ranch, and I am much more interested in land."

"I like this baby, honestly! Unlike my son, who thinks that farming has lost an adult, now I have no problem at all with farming to support myself, and my granddaughter wants to buy any clothes or something directly from her grandfather, knowing who loves her the most" Lao Zhao smiled heartily.

The boss urged Lao Zhao: "I said Lao Zhao, I know that you baby your granddaughter, and the small house is still waiting to hear your story, why is it crooked."

Lao Zhao raised the cup in his hand, and the remaining water in the cup went into Lao Zhao's stomach: "At that time, I just came here with my son, I was unfamiliar with life, I couldn't understand what bird language I spoke, and I was suffocated at home all day."

"Lao Zhao's son came to Los Angeles to study more than ten years ago, and then entered a large company, got stocks and the like, and made a lot of money, so he thought about taking Lao Zhao from the countryside in China.

Lao Zhao raised his eyebrows and said: "I know that kid has filial piety, but marrying a foreign girl, looking like a ghost, I don't know what to say, I hurt my granddaughter a little, so I pulled my son to say this and that, and then my son pulled me to talk about it."

When the boss heard this, he smiled and followed Ju An and said: "Lao Zhao, his son has been scolded by Lao Zhao more than once, usually, I raised you like this, and now I can't raise my granddaughter in this way, right, no matter how you always come and go in front of others, it's my son, I'm still your son."

Ju An, who listened to it, also laughed. Lao Zhao glanced at the boss: "I said you kid, don't always give you Uncle Zhao a fork, no, when you don't have an Ansheng in your mouth, let the teenage girl send what pizza takeaway is what is the exercise of reading spirit, the family is short of those two money, my daughter-in-law also said that after she dies, she will not keep much money for the child, who will leave the child if you don't leave the child, you can still take it in the coffin, I don't believe it." In the end, my granddaughter delivered takeout for a few months, and the old man and I worried about it for a few months, but now I am better to go to the restaurant to work as a waitress and drive home by myself."

Ju An understands that the old man is a traditional Chinese who belongs to the kind that holds his grandson and does not hold his son, and he does not have a good face for his son and hurts his grandson.

Lao Zhao took the cup in his hand and signaled, the boss went to the side to add a glass of water, Lao Zhao continued: "I was really bored at home when I first came, my son got me a bicycle, I rode everywhere to go around, and when I walked to the foot of the mountain, I saw a piece of wasteland and no one cared about it, I was worried about it, scolding these American bastards, such a good land is so bad and cheap, and no one waits, I am used to farming in my hometown, and I feel distressed when I see the barren land, The next day my son took me to the tool shop, bought some things and seeds, and every day I rode my bicycle to the place and opened up the wasteland."

Ju An asked strangely: "You have no one to care about you like this, so you let you open the land?" ”。

Lao Zhao continued: "At the beginning, no one cared about it, I opened it small, and when I opened it for a few months, no one took care of it, and finally I saw that other people's farms were surrounded by fences, and I felt that there was probably no one to ask for this land, so I was bold, and opened a large area, and then planted vegetables on the ground, and this land opened bigger and bigger, but no one cared about it, so I opened twenty or thirty acres of land, and I have been growing vegetables for more than ten years, basically most of the Chinese restaurants in this neighborhood are using my dishes."

Ju An admired the old man in front of him a little, it was really not easy for a person to open twenty or thirty acres of land with just his hands, let alone twenty or thirty acres, that is, his own greenhouse was planted for two hours, and Ju An finally began to grind the samples. He stretched out his thumb to Lao Zhao and said: "Uncle Zhao, you are really good, this person serves twenty or thirty acres of land by relying on a hoe, it's too good."

Lao Zhao proudly said to Ju'an: "You young people are not good now, we didn't suffer anything at that time, our people at that time were afraid of no land, with the land of the family to eat and drink from the field, this after more than ten years no one cares, I also learned to drive a tractor, and then I thought about moving out from my son, looking at the two of them I was heartwarming, so I took the money from selling vegetables over the years, and found a few young men to build a house for me, I guarded my vegetable field alone, who knew that this house was built, and there was a problem with the building, A family of foreign devils found me, saying that the land I planted belonged to theirs, and then asked me to hand him a large amount of rent and compensation, or he would go to court to sue me, at that time I saw that the rent was a little stupid, counted almost a million and it was dollars, not to mention dollars a few years ago, I have never seen such a big 100,000 yuan."

Ju An shook his head and said: "This foreigner is not kind, one million dollars, as long as your ten acres of land can be sold for 100,000 dollars, then there is oil in the ground, why charge you a million dollars in rent."

Lao Zhao nodded and said: "At that time, I was stunned, this kind of people's land, it is easy to say that you should give money to teach, but you can't collect so much, if he didn't say anything, let me return the land I will also pay it back, but so much money you just kill me, I can't take it out, so I was accused to the court, received a letter from the court, I told my son about it, and then my son found a barrister to help me fight the lawsuit, at that time I prayed in my heart to return the land, Then it's a big deal to pay back the money from selling vegetables in a few years, just forget it, who knows that my lawyer accepted and said, these more than ten acres of land belong to me to support me to fight a lawsuit, and finally the court judged, and really awarded me more than ten acres of land, but I was very happy, but the ten acres that were opened later were less than ten years old, and I returned the rent to the neighbors The court judgment is also very reasonable, and in the end, the foreign devil has no temper at all, and he really relieves his hatred."

Ju An nodded and said: "I've heard of this, if your land is idle for more than ten years, and someone cultivates or lives on it, then as long as it is stained for ten years, this land belongs to the new owner, not the original owner, this is the law of the United States to ensure the rational use of the land, if you have not used this land for ten years, then it proves that you don't need this land at all, and it is natural to allocate it to the people who need it, so as to avoid the waste of resources, and redistribute resources in disguise."

Juan had seen such a news that it was not the United States, it was a British beggar who set up a shack in a rich residential area of more than 30 meters, and then a nearby rich man wanted to expand the estate and gave him a million pounds of money to move out and buy this land, who knew that the beggar was unwilling, and said to the reporter: Do you see that I am the kind of person who wears a tie and sits in first class, I will not move out, I get along well with my neighbors.

The boss said: "At that time, after this verdict came down, Lao Zhao immediately appeared on Chinese TV and became a legend, and everyone laughed and said that Lao Zhao came to the United States specifically to rob Lao Mei's land."

Lao Zhao also smiled and said: "I didn't know at the time, I originally planned to return the land, and then give people a reasonable land rent, it would be over, so I thought that it was unreliable to sue the foreign devils, and the Americans were unwilling to sue me all the time, and after I got the land, I built a small house, and found a Chinese wife, and now the two of them are taking care of the vegetable field together, and they learned to drive a few years ago, and now they will send them some fresh vegetables every few days."

Ju An said with a smile: "This old beauty is probably bullying you for not speaking English, just came to the United States, wants to blow you up a sum of money, and finally steals chickens and rice."

The boss said: "After a while, it was reported that a beggar saw a big villa that no one lived in, so he walked in, and then lived there for more than ten years without anyone taking care of it, and finally applied to the court to award the house to him, and the court really awarded him."

Ju An scratched his head and said: "This property owner is unlucky, he still helps the beggar pay the property tax every year, and after paying for ten years, he finally loses the house."

Lao Zhao and the boss laughed for a while.
