At nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time in Southern California had passed, and Esther drove a jeep and took Lin Johnson around his territory to see several construction sites. 'The workers from China are still working, and the construction site is still busy.

"It's almost time to get off work now, and if the American construction workers have already started to get off work, and these Chinese workers have to work until 6 o'clock, and they even have to work overtime after dinner, as if this kind of work has no effect on these Chinese workers at all, is this really okay?" Esther asked Lin Johnson.

Lin Qiangsheng took a look, and the building in front of him was the assault training building, the main body had been built, and there were many Chinese workers on it.

He said to Esther: "It doesn't matter, this kind of labor intensity is not too great, how can you work so fast like an American construction worker!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with emotion: "There are many Chinese, like these construction workers can only earn 1oo yuan per month in China, and the monthly salary after coming to the United States is 15oo US dollars, if it is a large project, the monthly salary can be more than 2ooo US dollars, which is converted into RMB but 1ooo times the monthly salary in China!" ”

Esther looked at Lin Qiangsheng, although she had been in China for more than half a year, she didn't know the salary level in China, and the monthly salary paid to her by Lin Qiangsheng was also calculated in dollars, she was surprised and said: "It's so low"

She couldn't find words to describe it, she didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so big, no wonder these Chinese workers worked so hard!

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said melancholy: "Don't forget, according to Western standards, China belongs to a third world country, and our labor costs are much lower than those of Da countries!" In your opinion, these workers are working for no time, but in the eyes of these people, maybe they are very happy to come to the United States to make money, you must know that working in the United States for a month is equivalent to ten years of hard work in China, and it is a great thing for them to come here! ”

He looked at the Chinese on the construction site. said: "These compatriots of mine only need to work in the United States for a year, and the money they earn can allow them to live the life of rich people in China, and this kind of spiritual motivation supports them to work hard, as long as you let them have work and earn money." There is no need to worry about anything, besides, my compatriots are really persevering and able to endure hardships, and hardship and hard work are the excellent virtues of our Chinese! ”

Esther nodded in shock, and she suddenly thought that Lin Qiangsheng might still be a traditional Chinese in his heart. Although he did not quite like many of the Chinese he had seen.

She said comfortingly to Lin Qiangsheng: "Maybe you should introduce these workers to Israel, where the salary of construction workers is very high, and because of the lack of labor in our country, we can only recruit a large number of Arabs to work in the construction industry, maybe you should try if Chinese workers can work in Israel, I think my motherland will need such hard-working workers!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Israel? ”

Esther smiled and nodded, and said, "If you want, I can move my relatives to help, and my family is also engaged in the construction industry!" ”

This is the first time Lin Qiangsheng has heard Esther take the initiative to talk about his family, as far as he knows. Esther is a rich second generation, but she herself did not rely on her family, but chose the promising job of being an agent!

He nodded and said, "That's a good idea, but I think Israel may not welcome Chinese to work!" ”

"How so?" Esther asked curiously.

"Jingle bell" At this time, the bell rang suddenly, and the Chinese manager was a middle-aged man who was nearly 4o years old, he saw Lin Qiangsheng from afar, trotted to the front, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you are here, it's time for dinner." 'Would you like to try our kitchen craftsmanship?' ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the yellow hard hat on his head and asked with a smile, "What do you have to eat?" ”

"Hey, Big Fish and Big Meat is that the company also buys ingredients from Chinatown. It's all hometown dishes, braised pork, big elbows, three fresh or something, it's enough! Why don't you and Manager Ai eat here, our kitchen is very clean! The Chinese manager smiled, he was still afraid that Lin Qiangsheng would dislike the workers' food, and said a little shyly.

Lin Qiangsheng took the initiative to shake his hand. Asked, "Haven't asked your last name yet?" ”

The Chinese manager smiled more truthfully, and he said: "I don't want your surname Fang, Fang Bai!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll eat here, I haven't eaten serious Chinese food for many months in the United States, this time I thank you, but I'm hungry, thank you!" ”

Hearing Lin Qiangsheng say this, Fang Bai smiled cheerfully: "What did you say, we still have to drag your blessings, if it weren't for your help, how could we come to the United States to earn dollars, you are our nobleman!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng waved his hand and said, "Don't mention the words that are expensive or not, I just did what I could!" There are Mexicans, Spaniards, and South Americans in the American construction industry, and so many foreign laborers can make money here, why can't we make it, right? ”

Fang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, that's the reason!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said to Asther: "Esther, go back, I'll have dinner here." ”

Esther shook her head, turned her head and said to Uncle Fang, "Manager Fang, I'll eat here too, is it okay?" ”

Uncle Fang said with a smile: "What's not to do, it's just that we don't know if the dishes we cook are in line with Manager Ai's taste, you two come with me!" ”

The two followed Manager Fang into the temporary staff restaurant with great interest, don't look at the fact that it is built with color steel tiles, but it is also quite exquisite, the restaurant is very clean, and air conditioning and electric fans are installed, there is a large color TV by the counter, and the tables and chairs used by the workers to eat are made of logs, and there is a lot of wood in the United States, and these things are processed by themselves after coming here.

Lin Qiangsheng and Esther's arrival was also warmly welcomed by the workers, Lin Qiangsheng looked at this, patted that one's shoulder, smiled and said loudly: "Everyone seems to be living well here, when I first came to the United States, I remember that they were all skinny, and now they are all strong, and some are fat!" ”

The workers laughed, and some workers said loudly: "Mr. Lin, we earn a lot here, we eat well, and of course we grow meat!" ”

"Mr. Lin, look at our food, it's much better than at home!"

"There is no comparison between the family and here, there is meat every day!"

The workers all laughed, and Manager Fang personally ordered two dishes for Lin Qiangsheng and Esther, he knew that the two of them definitely didn't like to eat too greasy, so he asked the chef to pick out some good meat and dishes and bring them over.

After the three of them sat down, Fang Bai said: "The workers do heavy work, and they have to use meat to follow, so we rarely eat vegetarian dishes, and we must eat big fish and meat for three meals, otherwise the workers can't do their work without strength!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said to everyone: "I know this, the workers eat a lot of food, who makes the grain and meat in the United States very cheap, I don't object to your hard work, this meal is nothing compared to the value generated!" ”

Manager Fang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin said it well, I won't tell you, I still eat a lot here in the United States, there is everything, how can I see such things in China!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng asked, "When did you come out?" ”

Uncle Fang said with emotion: "I have been here for more than two years, and I signed up to recruit overseas workers from your school. I used to have a foundation in electrical engineering, and I tutored English at your school, but I didn't expect that after coming to the United States, I was made a team leader, which was not a little bit promoted to manager! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "It turns out that you are our first batch of dispatched laborers, no wonder!" ”

Fang Bo smiled heartily and said: "My contract will end in half a year, and I will return to China then, I think that the money I have earned in the past three years is enough, and I can live a good life after returning home!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng ate his elbow and said: "This taste is quite authentic, it can be regarded as a serious Chinese food!" ”

Fang Bai said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, eat slowly, there is still a kitchen yet, there is!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng took a bite of rice, although the big pot of rice was bland, but he hadn't tasted this for several months, it still seemed to be much better than bread or something!

He said to the manager: "We still need talents like you who are proficient in English and can lead the team, have you ever considered staying in the United States to work in the future?" ”

Manager Fang asked in surprise, "Can I stay?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, and said to Fang Bai: "It's up to you, but I hope that a useful talent like you will stay, what can you do when you return to China?" If you are willing to stay, that's the best, the company will help you, and I will help you! ”

Fang Bai's heart was very surprised but also very excited, to Mr. Lin said, back in China he really didn't know what he could do, go to the factory or do some small business, he just thought about it to scratch his head, and stayed in the United States for three years, to be honest, he really likes the modern life here!
