Chapter 704: New Bodyguard
On Sunday morning, the sun shone down the quiet streets of Hell's Kitchen, and the warm light made a few homeless men comfortably unwrap their sleeping bags, and they turned their filthy bodies to soak in the sun.
They slept late yesterday because Hell's Kitchen has a few high-profile rides every weekend.
As long as they're dressed a little cleaner, they'll find a little bit of odd jobs there, and as long as they're not addicts, those odd jobs make enough money for them to live until next week's game.
Eddie Brock is driving a newly bought garbage truck and is rushing home with a tired old Joey.
As he passed by a few homeless people, Eddie stopped the car and pulled out a large plastic bag from the back seat of a variety of snacks that had not been bothered at the previous night's flying car party.
Eddie got out of the car with the plastic bag and walked to a few homeless people sleeping in the corner, he put the plastic bag on the ground, and then said with a smile: "Guys, this is enough for you to live for a few days, save that money, the winter in New York is really dead, you need to find yourself a shelter from the wind."
It's said that there are a lot of uninhabited houses in Harlem, so don't you think about saving some money to go there? ”
A bearded homeless man opened the plastic bag, smiled and took out a delicate little cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Old Joey has made it through, why can't you let us go to your place for the winter?" I promise, I'll get out of there as soon as spring comes! ”
The other homeless people seemed to smell the smell of food, and they got up from their sleeping bags one after another.
Hearing the words of the bearded homeless man, these homeless men echoed and jokingly shouted: "That's right, as long as you can take us in, we will help you do the work of cleaning up the garbage in the future!" ”
Eddie, who had been familiar with Hell's Kitchen for a long time, sneered and raised his middle finger with both hands, and said, "Fuck off, you bastards!"
It is better to count on the kindness of others to save you than to find odd jobs in the docks, you are so lazy that God doesn't want to see you. ”
While Eddie was speaking, old Joey impatiently stuck his head out of the window and shouted at him, "Get on here, boy, we need to go home and have a hot coffee, and ignore these damn slackers, God won't take them!" ”
Eddie smiled and spread his hands at the homeless men, and said with a smile, "Look, that's the boss, I have to go back."
I pay for the food, remember seeing something strange to inform me later, I'm a special correspondent in Hell's Kitchen right now, and I need some news. ”
The bearded homeless man squinted his eyes and enjoyed chewing on the snacks in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Several disabled guys have disappeared on the street recently, do you think this is news?" ”
Eddie was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "What kind of news is a few fewer people in Hell's Kitchen?" Maybe they're out of here, maybe ......"
The bearded homeless man sneered and shook his head, and said, "They are all wastes with missing arms and legs, where else can they go but here?"
I've heard of people trying to get people to work on their physical disabilities to get people into some kind of experimental project. ”
Eddie looked at the bearded homeless man in surprise and asked, "How do you know?" ”
The bearded man looked at Eddie and smiled indifferently, pulled up the leg of his right leg, revealing a rough wooden prosthetic, and then smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm one of those wastes, and they've come to me......"
Eddie looked at the strange expression on the bearded man's face, and said with a sigh: "You have made a very wise choice, those people are obviously conducting illegal experiments, otherwise they should be in the newspaper looking for volunteers, it is not difficult at all!"
I'll go back and check it out, and if that's the case, I'll give you a commission.
Of course, that will have to wait until I get the manuscript fee!
Dude, if that's true, remember to be alive, and I'll write you a check with beautiful numbers! ”
…………
Alvin, who got up early in the morning, kissed Fawkes on the bald head, and then touched it funny, only to be punched angrily by the girl.
Walking into the bathroom, Alvin looked at himself in the mirror, whistled with satisfaction, and said, "So handsome!" "I quickly washed up, and I was ready to go downstairs to prepare a little breakfast for everyone, and eating Lao Cheng's buns every day will make people tired, at least Lao Cheng himself doesn't like to eat much.
Before going downstairs, Alvin went to little Ginny's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the little girl was not sleeping on the bed, she actually strangled the neck of the fat wolf Mesimos, and slept sweetly on the belly of the fat bear, and the little nose was still bubbling with happiness from time to time.
Alvin sighed helplessly, and walked over lightly, ready to carry little Ginny to bed.
This girl is indeed very obedient, she said that she would not let her take the fat bear to sleep, so she got out of bed and slept with the fat bear by herself, and the fat bear was troublesome in bathing, but little Ginny is a little girl who loves to be clean!
This may be an alternative mountain, if you don't come to me, I'll go to the mountain!
The sound of Alvin's entry through the door alarmed Mesimos, and the hapless fat wolf craned his neck and let out a miserable "uh-uh" snort to call Alvin for help.
As if he didn't see it, Alvin walked over and picked up little Ginny and the fat wolf and put them on the bed, and then thoughtfully stuffed the fat wolf into Little Ginny's arm, joking, how happy is it to be held and sleeping by such a lovely girl? You eat me, drink me, and dare to complain?
Pinching the fat wolf's humming mouth, Alvin carefully kissed the sleeping little Ginny on the head, and then stood up Alvin kicked the fat bear threateningly, meaning, if you don't take a bath today, Lao Tzu will pick your skin at night!
The fat bear that disguised itself as a panda stretched out its black limbs, the dead pig turned over without fear of boiling water, revealing its white belly, and in the black circles on its head, its small eyes blinked twice quickly, as if it did not understand the requirements of the druid boss, it covered its face with its two front paws, and regarded itself as a mentally handicapped fat bear who could not understand human speech, and turned its head and fell asleep again.
Alvin glared angrily at the fat wolf who was still humming and chirping "for help", startled the little thing, and decided to shut his wolf mouth and not offend the majesty of the druid.
Alvin snorted in satisfaction, kissed little Ginny on the nose again, and walked out of the room and went downstairs.
When he walked to the lobby of the restaurant, Lao Cheng, who got up early, had already opened the door of the restaurant, and all kinds of buns in the steamer at the door had already been steamed in the drawer.
Grimace John's son, Robin, expanded his coffee business, and instead of being content with a "monopoly" of coffee sales at Robert's supermarket, he also set up a small induction cooker next to the old stall and brewed a large pot of coffee, ready to earn a little more "college savings" for himself and his sister.
Many people passing by who are about to rush to work will stop here, buy two large buns, and pair them with a cup of coffee or soy milk to settle the day's breakfast.
However, in the past, they would always have a few words with Lao Cheng, but today a man standing in front of the restaurant caught their attention.
The inhabitants of this place may not be smart, but they must have bright eyes, and although the man looks very kind, everyone here can sense danger in him.
Alvin walked to the door curiously and glanced at the middle-aged man standing in his hands, with half-length gray hair and calloused hands on his abdomen.
Alvin didn't rush to ask about the man's origins, he first smiled and beckoned to Robin, and said, "Man, bring me a cup of coffee, old man!" ”
Thirteen-year-old Robin smiled and poured a cup of coffee from a clean cup, added milk to it, served it to Alvin, and said, "Principal Alvin, your coffee, more milk and no sugar." ”
Alvin took the coffee with a smile, patted Robin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are a promising kid, but the premise is not to forget your studies because of making money, that is the most important thing."
Come and play with Nick and them when you're fine, you're the same age as Richard, right? ”
Robin smiled innocently, scratched his head, nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and then turned around and went to his coffee "business".
His business is good, he usually makes coffee and puts it on Lao Cheng's stall for him to sell, and he only earns a little hard-earned money.
But on weekends, he takes care of the coffee pot himself, which doubles his income.
The inhabitants here know that he is the son of Grimace John, and they know their condition, and everyone is happy to buy a cup of coffee here, after all, it is just needed, and it is bought anywhere, and it is a lot cheaper here.
Alvin smiled and said to Lao Cheng: "Look at Robin, I think I should put a little pressure on that bastard kid Nick, maybe he won't have those strange thoughts in his head when he gets busy." ”
Lao Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Nick is fine now, we watched him change from that little boy who didn't speak like this."
I don't know about the rest, but Nick must be a great leader in the future.
Hey, why can't Jiawen? ”
Alvin smiled and looked at Aunt Cheng pinching Lao Cheng's waist hard, and said, "That's your problem, you can't wait to lock Jiawen at home every day to study, so how can you do it?" ”
Lao Cheng glanced at his wife with a sigh, and then said: "Forget it, maybe Jiawen will be a lawyer, doctor, accountant or even an IT man in the future, at least he grew up here, nothing can scare him."
Whether he can speak or not, whether he is a leader or not doesn't seem to matter that much, he can still learn when he goes to college......"
Alvin smiled and nodded at Lao Cheng, who was afraid of his wife, and said: "Your wish will come true, there is no school that Chinese children can't get into in the United States!" ”
Lao Cheng arched his hand happily and said, "Accept your auspicious words, accept your auspicious words, haha!" ”
Alvin took a sip of coffee and gave a thumbs up to Robin, who was busy, as if he had helped him with a wave of advertising, then he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, pointed to a van not far away, and said with a smile: "Man, who are you?" I can't afford to hire a security guard like you! ”
The middle-aged man looked at Alvin, grinned and showed the folds on his face, and said, "We are Miss Pepperpots' new bodyguard, my name is Brian Mills, and there are a few of my buddies!"
Nice to meet you, Principal Alvin! ”
