Chapter 1194: I can't eat enough wheat bran
After talking on the street for a while, Chen Yuan and the others soon continued to walk towards Li Jia's house, accompanied by Li Jia and the old man. A large number of Chinese around are also silently following.
Through the introduction just now, Chen Yuan and the others already knew that this old man's name was Zheng Chengwu, and he was the oldest person here. Although he is only in his 60s, it is not easy for an elderly person in his 60s to survive in the last days.
In addition, he previously served as the president of the Chinese Federation in his American city. So now, he plays a similar role as the village chief in this Chinese residential area.
And Li Jia's home is not far away, it is a simple tin house not far from the front, so Chen Yuan and they arrived quickly.
"Generals, this is my home!" Li Jia introduced them to Chen Yuan outside the tin house, and invited them into the house, he said embarrassedly: "The place is small, please don't mind." ”
This tin house is indeed very small, and from the outside, it is estimated that the area is less than 30 square meters. It definitely can't accommodate all of Chen Yuan.
So only Chen Yuan, Wei Chen, Qin Cheng, Wang Ruhan and Lei Jie Si and a few others were ready to go into the house with Li Jia to have a look. While others stay outside.
Qin Cheng also specially arranged people to answer the questions raised by the surrounding Chinese.
Seeing Huaxia's troops, the surrounding Chinese were so excited.
In particular, although I know the general situation in Huaxia, there are still many people who want to know what the situation is like in their hometown.
Before Chen Yuan and the others entered the door, someone in the house had already noticed the movement outside, and ran to the door to check what was going on.
But it was a woman and a little girl.
At this time, Li Jia immediately introduced to Chen Yuan and them: "Several generals, this is my wife and my daughter. ”
Li Jia had already introduced the situation of their family on the way here before, and he said that their family was already lucky.
The family originally consisted of four, but only his son unfortunately became a zombie in the last days, while he, his wife, and a 5-year-old daughter escaped smoothly.
Now, they live here together.
Then, Li Jia immediately excitedly introduced to his wife: "Yu Lian, these are soldiers from our home country Huaxia, I met them on the street, and they want to come to our house to have a look!" ”
"Mother country! Huaxia! Looking at Chen Yuan and the others, it was no surprise that Zhou Yulian looked very surprised, and at the same time couldn't hide the joy on his face, and couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Are you really from Huaxia?" ”
And Li Jia's 5-year-old daughter saw so many people, and she hid behind her mother a little shyly, secretly looking at Chen Yuan and them.
The home country is really a very foreign place to her. Dad said she went back once when she was very young. But she didn't remember anything at all.
But she had heard her parents mention her home country countless times.
Dad said he regretted coming to the U.S. in the first place.
If they hadn't come to the United States, they wouldn't have been bullied by whites and blacks like they are now.
If they hadn't come to the United States in the first place, even if they died now, they would have returned to their homeland, not a foreign land.
If they hadn't come to the United States, they might still be with their grandparents and grandparents!
Hearing Zhou Yulian's inquiry, Chen Yuan and the others nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes!" ”
At this time, Li Jia couldn't help but smile and said, "It's all said yes to you, and I still ask!" Why don't you come in and sit down and pour some water! ”
"Oh! Yeah! Zhou Yulian immediately patted her forehead and said happily: "Look at me, I'm really too happy!" I didn't expect to meet people from my home country. Generals, please come in! I'll pour you a glass of water to drink. ”
Chen Yuan said, "Mrs. Li, don't bother, let's go in and have a look." I'll have to go somewhere else later. ”
"No trouble! No hassle! Zhou Yulian smiled and let go of the door, and retreated into the house first with his daughter. This door is too small, they are standing at the door, Chen Yuan and they can't get in at all.
Then Chen Yuan and the others followed Li Jia and walked into the tin house.
The rooms are simply furnished with little furniture.
The area of less than 30 square meters is divided into two small rooms.
The larger one is the bedroom--kitchen--living room, and the smaller one is the toilet.
In the large room, there is only a simple wooden bed, and it is still winter, but the quilt on their bed is very thin. There was a table but no chairs, and there was a simple stove in the room, and some pots and pans. That's basically it, and it looks extremely shabby.
"Generals, sit down!" After entering the house, Li Jia first put the grain bag and two healing potions in his hand on the table, and then invited Chen Yuan and them to sit down. The place they were invited to sit was, of course, the bed, because they had nowhere else to sit at home. He said embarrassedly: "I didn't have anything to eat at home before, so I took some tables and chairs to exchange for money." Don't mind, generals, just sit on the bed. ”
But Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "No, let's take a look at random." ”
At this time, he happened to notice the grain bag that Li Jia put on the table, so he couldn't help but step forward curiously, wanting to see what Li Jia and the others usually eat.
As a result, to Chen Yuan's surprise, Li Jia's grain bag that he hugged all the way back like a baby turned out to be filled with wheat bran!
He was surprised and asked, "Is this what you usually eat?" ”
Li Jia nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it's good to have this to eat." It is difficult for Chinese people to find work here now, many jobs are reserved for white people, and most of us can only survive on handout food in the settlements. But relief food is scarce and often robbed, so we can only replace the grain with wheat bran to feed the family! ”
Hearing this, Qin Cheng, Wang Ruhan and the others couldn't help frowning.
Chen Yuan looked at Li Jia's room again and continued to ask, "Are other people like this?" ”
Li Jia and Zheng Chengwu both nodded helplessly.
Li Jia said: "My family is okay, I can weld, and I still have a job in the settlement. Although wages are only two-thirds of those of other whites and blacks. But at least it can subsidize a little family. There are many Chinese families in the settlement, and all of them have no jobs and are living on handout food. They are often robbed, and sometimes they can't even eat enough wheat bran. ”
At this time, Qin Cheng and Wang Ruhan couldn't help but look at Regers.
And Regis had just finished listening to the translator's words at this time, and he seemed to be very surprised.
He had indeed heard that Chinese people were often robbed before, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and he actually had to rely on eating wheat bran to get by, which was unimaginable to him!
