Nick and Anton were both Bolsheviks who grew up in remote areas of the United States, and they were both minorities who went to the same high school and were considered NERD, but there were also differences within the proletariat, and the individual was not the same.

Ni Jiao's parents are both built here, and although they are not rich, they are not very poor, so they think more about development, and do not think much about how to cover themselves in case of failure. Anton had to think about the bottom line, so he didn't go to New York with Nick, but chose to stay in this place and continue to work in a Chinese restaurant.

But Nick didn't want his brother to spend his life in this place. Although he knows that Anton adheres to the traditional Chinese tradition of living and consumption, he cannot consume ahead of time, cannot borrow loans that cannot be replaced in the short term, and consumes to match the level of income from work - in his own words "planned economy". But always like this means that he can't do without this job as a food delivery.

So this time back, Nick actually wanted to persuade Anton to go to Mexico with him. As a Bolshevik, even if he could not participate in the revolution, he should have done something big. He felt that even if they failed again, they could go back to Cuba to join their parents, which would be better than being unknown for the rest of their lives in this broken place.

But Anton found a girlfriend...... That's kind of a hell of a thing.

Actually, Nick hates those so-called Asian-American Rao. The reason why Anton has always claimed to be a "real" Chinese is to distinguish himself from those who also live in this shabby place but feel that they are pure American Rao ABC. Especially in high school, there are guys who have to mix with whites on the one hand, and on the other hand, they exclude other minorities except blacks.

When Nick was in New York, he also met with a number of first-generation immigrants of Asian descent. The overall quality of those Rao is much better than that of Asians in broken places, but since they immigrated to the United States, it means that they don't want to immigrate back. This is contrary to Anton's personal wishes. And most of these first-generation Asian immigrants consider themselves to belong to the middle class of the United States, work in "high-class" jobs, and quickly adapt to American life. Nick feels that if Anton finds a similar girlfriend, even if he can maintain it, the future will be very uncomfortable.

So while it was morally incorrect to persuade someone to break up, Nick did come back with the idea of trying to persuade Anton to seriously consider the matter.

He didn't know how the first generation of Asian immigrants, who considered themselves middle-class, looked at Anton. After all, most of the Asian girls who leave their native cultural environment to find the "American dream" here still want to integrate into the American lifestyle as soon as possible, so they will have a lower evaluation of Asian NERD. This can be thought of as some kind of conversion effect.

But now, after Anton took off his round-framed glasses and mixed in society for two years, it seems to be more in line with the Yankee aesthetic. And the Yankee's aesthetic is that of those who "convert", so perhaps it is understandable that there is a first-generation Asian immigrant who has taken a fancy to him? But in Nick's opinion, this is a long-term distraction, Anton is still a real Chinese Bolshevik after all, if he has the conditions, he will definitely "de-Americanize" again as soon as possible and return to his original way of life.

But Nick is not a person with such low emotional intelligence, so he will not have to think about his girlfriend with his brother as soon as he comes up.

He just jokingly asked, "Brother, why didn't your girlfriend come?" ”

Originally, Anton didn't need his girlfriend to pick up his friend, but to Nick's surprise, Anton replied: "Min was originally going to come together, but she often has things to do in the lab on weekends, so she can't come this time." ”

"It doesn't matter if your girlfriend comes or not, as long as you come." Nick patted him on the shoulder, "Honestly, I really want to eat the steakhouse across the street from you, I haven't eaten that much juicy meat in two years in New York." ”

"That's good." Anton happily, "I borrowed the restaurant's car, let's pick up Min first, and then we'll go to dinner." ”

Hearing that he was going to pick up Anton's girlfriend, Nick had to say, "If your girlfriend doesn't want to, there's no need to trouble people." ”

Who knew that Anton was surprised by this: "What's the trouble with this?" You can't leave her at school to eat their junk food cafeteria. ”

That's right. But Nick always felt like his girlfriend couldn't eat without him.

Finding the old broken Ford in the parking lot of the airport, Nick stuffed his luggage into the trunk, and then Anton drove his best friend to school to find Qi Min.

called Qi Min on the way, but sure enough, he didn't answer again. He couldn't help but regret why he didn't remember the landline in Qi Min's laboratory by the way when he borrowed her colleague's mobile phone, but when he thought of that pedophile who didn't know what disgusting things he had seen with her mobile phone, he felt that even one more glance at that time would cause mental damage.

Nick saw that he made four calls and no one answered, and couldn't help but say, "Don't call, brother, maybe something's wrong." ”

"It's always like this, and I don't carry my phone with me when I do experiments." Anton complained to his brother, "I thought I had been working long enough for this job, but I didn't expect her to work more hours a week than that." This is a loophole in the labor law. ”

This could be understood as a loophole in the labor law, but Nick couldn't help but think that maybe his first-generation Asian immigrant girlfriend wasn't planning to have a good time with him. The salary of a doctoral student is low, so it is reasonable to find someone to share the rent, but if she dumps Anton after graduation, the damage will be too great.

Thinking of this, Nick suddenly asked, "By the way, are you going to get married?" ”

"Why get married?" Anton asked, curiously, "A real Bolshevik does not need to rely on the institution of marriage under private ownership to bind his partner. ”

"Uh......" Nick still had to come out with the word, "So, you never considered a relationship and a possible breakup?" ”

Hearing him like this, Anton couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It's true that he just didn't think about breaking up, just like he didn't think about falling in love before he met Qi Min. But after Nick came out like this, instead of making him feel the slightest sense of alertness, it made him feel a little funny.

"In reality, all events are probable, so nothing is impossible." Anton smiled and said, "But why think about the extreme possibility? ”

Extremely likely? Nick felt that his brother probably did not understand the situation, and that the ideas of the first generation of immigrants belonging to the middle class would not be exactly the same as those of the real proletariat.

However, Anton did not discuss the issue again, but asked Nick, "Don't always me, why not you?" Don't you have a girlfriend? ”

"Yes, but now it's gone." Nick slammed his scars away, "I talked to the Mexican girl who lived upstairs with me for half a year, and when she found a rich white man, she dumped me. ”

Who knew Anton: "Fortunately, otherwise, wouldn't it be very disgusting that you have been with a money worshipper?" ”
