The family walked out of the restaurant, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, close to three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Zhoufangmei went shopping in a department store, and her daughter-in-law Qin Wanyu felt that her mother-in-law's mention was quite good, and she seconded it with great interest. Women, women, no matter what age they are, they always feel that there is one thing missing in the wardrobe.

The men, who were money clips and porters, were held hostage by their respective wives, hailed a taxi, and drove to the busiest shopping street.

The Mercedes-Benz that came out of the family was abandoned in the underground parking garage of the Hilton Hotel not far from the Avenue of Stars, and it was too lazy to walk a long way to pick up the car.

After about 10 minutes of driving, there was a traffic jam ahead, and the car was forced to slow down at first until the road ahead was completely blocked.

It turned out to be a parade. I saw a bustling crowd along the road, shouting "Resist the interest rate cut!" as they walked. Death to Wall Street! "Protest exploitation!" and other slogans, these people are still carrying large and small signs in their hands, and they are shouting slogans all the way.

The demonstrators distributed leaflets along the road as they walked, blocking the entire street, and Li Chenghua and his carload were blocked in the middle of the road.

On the steps of the roadside, some passers-by stopped and watched with interest, while most passers-by ignored them. At the intersection not far away, there was also a police car, and two policemen leaned on the side of the police car, pointing, talking and laughing, with relaxed expressions.

The black driver honked his horn a few times, and a young white woman holding a sign in the crowd walked up to the window, pulled the thorn, pointed to the blood-red letters "wall-drop-dead" printed on her chest, stuffed a leaflet into the crack of the window, and returned to the crowd of marchers.

“*！ It's a parade again, and it's all to blame on these Wall Street vampires! The black driver muttered, turned to Li Chenghua's family and said: "Sir, not far in front is the city hall, the first turn on the right side of the city hall is the most famous street in Los Angeles, or you get off here, if you walk over, it will only be seven or eight minutes away, if you are stuck here, you may not be able to drive to the destination in half an hour." ”

In desperation, Li Chenghua's family had no choice but to pay the fare, get out of the car and walk.

In the United States, there is only one application process, and protest marches of all kinds are endless. Lao Mei is known as "Freedom! Folk cooking! "It's simply a flood of these liberal Americans, who are all kinds of non-governmental organizations, large and small, in the United States, and hold protest marches twice in three days. The parade is a major feature of the old American city. Even if a fur show is held by a certain brand in a certain country across the Pacific Ocean, the so-called animal protection society organized by a group of Americans on this side of the Pacific will apply for a protest march. Tsk –

Li Chenghua got out of the car, threw the leaflet in his hand into the trash can on the steps, and turned around and walked to Li Zhoufangmei's side. He took his son from his mother's arms, picked up his son in one hand and his wife in the other, and walked along the crowd towards his destination.

Li Peipei was firmly held in her arms by her grandfather, and she was turning her head to look at the Western scenery with great interest.

"In the past, it was just a news scene, but today we were lucky enough to come across it. Let's go - follow and see the excitement. The old man also walked behind the crowd with great interest.

"Daddy, it's not called luck!" Li Chenghua sighed, "In this United States, there is no one who has demonstrated on a single day." I've been here for a month, and I've seen a parade every once in a while, and you don't see the police over there, and it's a habit to smoke and chat and watch the parade. Today there is an environmental protection organization to hold a parade, tomorrow there is a beluga protection organization to hold a parade, and the day after tomorrow a feminist organization will hold a women's liberation parade, every day changing tricks on the street, I said old man, if you want to see the Western scenery, find a café near this city hall to sit, there is excitement for you every day! ”

"Call me to say, these Americans are simply full of panic." Li Zhoufangmei interjected.

"Who called the United States the land of free people's cooking!" Li Chenghua concluded.

Talking about walking, the family arrived at their destination.

At first glance, this is a bustling commercial street, with clear windows and a variety of eye-catching signs, and this street is home to first-class brand flagship stores from all over the world.

Li Zhoufangmei casually instructed her husband and son: "Look at the children!" Ignoring the two of them, he pulled his daughter-in-law Qin Wanyu into the first shop on the street with great interest.

The old man stood at the door of the shop, looked at the seemingly endless long street, and smiled bitterly at his son: "Hey, woman, you don't remember the time when you buy something, it seems that if you don't go shopping for two or three hours, your mommy won't stop." Son, I'll watch the two children for a while, and you will be responsible for paying and carrying things for your mommy and daughter-in-law! ”

Sure enough, it was an old couple who had slept in the same bed for decades, and the old man knew his wife too well, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started shopping from the first store on the street, and it was not until it was dark that the battle ended unfinished.

Beckoned a taxi, with large and small loot, the hungry Li family went straight to the Chaoyue Pavilion in Chinatown, after solving the dinner, and then took the taxi to the door of the Hilton Hotel, handed the parking slip and tip to the car boy at the door of the hotel, a few minutes later, the family got on their own Mercedes-Benz, took the spoils of the afternoon with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and drove home.

The next day, the housekeeping company called, and Li Yigang took his son Li Chenghua out to visit an old friend, leaving Li Zhoufangmei and his daughter-in-law to arrange an interview with the housekeeping company.

It took three days to pick and choose, and Li Zhou Fangmei ordered a helper and a driver.

The domestic helper is a middle-aged Chinese woman named Zhou Qin, born in Laomei, who is quite fluent in Chinese and English. Married to a driver husband who is also Chinese. After her husband passed away in a drunk driving accident, she took her son to live by renting a house as a helper, and he was in his early forties, but he looked like he was in his fifties. Zhou Qin's son is now in high school, Li Zhou Fangmei heard what happened to Zhou Qin, felt pity, and was also Chinese, so she decided to let Zhou Qin take her son out of the rental house and move in, and Zhou's salary was directly given 500 US dollars, and the contract was also signed for three years in one go.

The driver found a white retired veteran, Ham Reiced, also in his forties, divorced. The weekly salary is 400, plus social security benefits.

The two guest rooms were furnished as a maid's room and a driver's room respectively, the maid Zhou Qin moved into the maid's room, and Zhou Qin's son Zhang Yinuo lived in the utility room. Soldier Ham also moved into another room with all his money.

On the first day of Ham's tenure, he followed the boss's instructions to pick up and drop off the two children to and from home and Mr. Peng every day.

Finally, the family settled down. The time soon came to the day when I agreed to visit the Quinn family.

Note: wall-drop-dead means Wall Street to die or Wall Street to go out of business.
