I don't know if it's because the house is too small, or because the torn socks and dirty clothes haven't been washed for a long time, and there is always a strange smell. Only the window at the door can be ventilated, and it is not hot yet, and if the house is cleaned up, it can be regarded as a room for one person.

But when the weather is hot in the summer, the house is unbearably hot, and John's working environment is dirty and tiring in the garage. Every time I saw John, his clothes were always covered with white salt frost, and how bad it must have been.

But you can't afford to have a cheap hotel, such a small room costs $80 a month, but even if it's so cheap, John will still be in arrears from time to time. When he opened the door, Yang Nianzhong frowned, and hurriedly took the lead in cleaning up John's room.

Put all the torn socks and dirty clothes in a garbage bag, and let John take them downstairs to the laundry room to wash them, and he is not allowed to come up without washing them. Then he asked Santos to go to the public restroom, fetched a basin of water, and began to wipe the dust as thick as a coin in the room with a worn-out towel.

The three brothers had a clear division of labor and pouted their butts for more than an hour before they cleaned up the house. Finally, there was no such foul smell, because the room was too small to sit on the bed, Yang Nianzhong just wanted to light a cigarette and take a good rest. Unexpectedly, John, a thief, took out a bottle of whiskey for a gift in the gap in the wall where the snake tank was placed.

That's right, this bottle of wine is a gift, there is not even a logo on it, the weight is 100 ml, and now only half a bottle is left. He took out his treasured whiskey and shook it in front of the two brothers, and said as he looked at Santosky and frowned.

"You Mexican drunkard didn't drink whiskey, aren't you feeling comfortable, hehe, you kid, look at what this is? Although it is a giveaway, the taste is definitely enough. ”

Santos, who saw John take out a small half-bottle of gift whiskey, quickly stood up and placed it on the windowsill with the glass he had personally scrubbed. Ice cubes with whiskey were out of the question, and less than a hundred milliliters of whiskey were left, barely evenly distributed, and each person was able to take two sips.

But Yang Nianzhong didn't care at all, took the wine glass handed over by John, the three brothers stood up, touched it and drank a large sip of strong whiskey, and drank it into their stomachs with a frown. I felt like my mouth was hot, extending all the way to my esophagus and then to my stomach, like a stove.

Don't look at the whiskey as a gift, but the wine is definitely strong enough, and the three brothers are very intoxicated. Sitting on the lower bunk of the bunk bed, smoking cheap Marlboro cigarettes, talking and laughing At this time, Yang Nianzhong looked at the two brothers and said.

"Today is really an eye-opener for me, do you see, the people who auctioned the storage cabinets at the cruise terminal are all dressed well, and they are also very generous."

"John, your cousin specializes in this business? Have you ever heard about his income? ”

John shook his wine glass while looking at Yang Nianzhong and nodded. "Boss, you're right, these people are indeed rich, although auctioning warehouses is equivalent to a combination of gambling and treasure digging. But if you have a unique eye and dare to gamble, the income is still good. ”

"My cousin was running around during the warehouse auction season, and he made a lot of money every season. I heard that I bought a new house half a year ago, which is an apartment with 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and two bathrooms. ”

Yang Nianzhong nodded and sighed, looked at the two brothers and said. "The three of us are not small, not to mention me, getting into trouble every day is more frequent than going home."

"And Santos, what about you? Not to mention, if you don't go with your dad for more than three days to clean up the garden and mow the lawn, your legs will have to be discounted by his old man. ”

"John is picking tires for others in the car repair shop, it's a hard job, dirty and tired, not to mention that he can't make a lot of money, are the three of us just living in such a mess."

The two brothers looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled bitterly, Santos was in a better situation, but he had a very strict father. He was only allowed to rest for half a day every week, and today he was able to drive out to find Yang Nianzhong and John, and he had only one day of free time after accumulating a full half a month's vacation.

Toth's family was smuggled from Mexico, and none of them, except for his little sister, had a green card. His father and mother, with their older children, worked more than 15 hours a day to repair the lawn and fix the drainage system in the garden.

Isn't it just that he wants to make two more dollars and then get a legal identity for a few brothers, and from then on he will be an enviable American. And the big black John is even more miserable, growing up in a black community since he was a child, and when he was eight months old, his father participated in the gang fight, which made the family break through the heart.

The mother is both drug trafficking and drug addiction, and the speed of entering the police station is more frequent than Yang Nianzhong, Yang Nianzhong's big deal is to be detained and then his mother is released on bail with money, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for a while, there is no problem. But John's mother is not like this, not only taking drugs, but also selling drugs, and will be sentenced at every turn.

It ranged from eight months to two years, and John died of a drug overdose in the bathroom when he was seven years old, when John was only a few years old and had to live with his elderly grandmother. John's grandmother worked as a servant for a wealthy family, and could only barely guarantee that John would not starve to death, so how could she afford to send him to a good school.

The school John went to was a black neighborhood school, and although it was public, the school environment was really poor. There are more than 900 people in the upper grades and lower grades in the school, but there are only six teachers.

Saying that the school is actually the cradle of black children partying and fighting, and selling drugs, John is 12 years old and still can't understand it. What do you say he's learned over the years? When he was 15 years old, his grandmother died, and John lost his source of livelihood.

But John, who grew up in a chaotic black neighborhood and faced violence and drugs, would be in the same league as the average person. But John wouldn't do that, he watched his mother die of a drug overdose, and his grandmother's strict education, he would not follow the path of his parents, but chose another difficult path to at least be self-reliant.

Because he is young and a black man, he always gets 1/3 less than other people when he works. But this is not guaranteed, there is a job every day, and I am always unemployed for ten days and half a month, so I go to the garbage can to pick up the garbage, and then sell it to the scrap company for some money, except for eating and drinking, I have to pay the rent.

Because John's behavior seemed unconventional to the little boy in the local black community, he was always bullied. In the process of a one-on-six fight, Yang Nianzhong, who came out to wander around with his younger brother Santos, was rescued by Yang Nianzhong and ran away with six gangsters, so that the three brothers knew each other.
