Chapter 12: Lack of Conspiracies
It stands to reason that everyone is compatriots, and it is natural to be a little more affectionate than others in a foreign country, not to mention living in a building, but things are still strange, and people are not interested in making friends with Jian Heng at all, and even a little bit of avoidance. In this way, Jian Heng naturally has no interest in sticking a hot face to other people's cold butts. So not only are the two not good, but they are not even friendly neighbors.
To say that Jian Heng is also unlucky, he knows a total of two people who immigrated from Hong Kong City, one is like this, and two are also like this, looking like he is a superior person and looks down on mainlanders.
For example, Zhang Jialiang, who moved from the Bay Province, can still mix with Jian Heng, but what he knows is like Diao Jiahui, and this family, they all like to mix in the circle of the British Commonwealth, and they think that they are not Chinese in their bones.
It's not that all Hong Kong people are like this, for example, some Hong Kong immigrants who live in Chinatown now are quite good and united.
Like Diao Jiahui and this family, this kind of person is estimated to be an iron loner in Hong Kong City, who thinks they are people from the British Empire, and they come and go from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and so on. Even people in India and Vanuatu can talk and laugh, but they just don't disdain to mix with mainland boys like Jian Heng.
People think like this, Jian Heng naturally doesn't think he is a Chinese, it is best if the two do not intersect, so as not to look at each other disgusting!
Standing at the window of the house and looking inside, Jian Heng found that this family was now like a chicken in soup, big and small, as if they had been thrown into the water and fished out, standing in the living room and hugging each other stupidly, not knowing what to do.
From Jian Heng's point of view, he happened to see what was cooking in the kitchen. What else I don't understand, just like Jian Heng thought, the cooking smoke was a little bigger, which triggered this fake fire alarm.
After glancing at it, Jian Heng didn't say much, and returned home from the escape ladder with the rabbit.
After seeing it, Jian Heng could even think clearly about the whole thing, it was not because the fire was too big because the smoke of cooking was too big, which touched the very sensitive indoor smoke sensor, and at the same time as the fire prevention equipment alarmed, the fire extinguishing device in the house began to automatically sprinkle water to extinguish the fire, and then the family naturally took a cold bath.
Because of the different living habits of the two people, there is a small problem.
This is the United States, everything is American standards, Americans generally do not have such a big smoke when cooking at home, so their range hoods have average suction power, and the sensors are also adapted to the habits of American home cooking.
Our Chinese habits are different, there are many means of cooking, especially stir-frying, it is easy to produce a lot of oil smoke, and when the sensor senses oil smoke, it has no ability to distinguish whether this is oil smoke or fire smoke, naturally call the police, and at the same time turn on the automatic fire extinguishing sprinkler head.
That's it!
As soon as he got into the window, Jian Heng heard a whining alarm from downstairs, turned his head to look, and saw that a red fire extinguisher had arrived, and the firefighters above were quickly dragging the sprinkler up the escape ladder.
Poof!
Seeing this scene, Jian Heng couldn't help but be happy, and said, "Who is so diligent and called the fire brigade so quickly!" ”
People from China don't know, unlike in China, the Americans send fire trucks to collect money, and this money will definitely make you doubt life, not to mention anything else, just in front of you such a trip, there is no three or four thousand dollars of dollars can not come down at all, and it is more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in RMB, which is still the starting price! If there are more projects, the price will have to go up!
What about the income conditions of the downstairs one? After a few days, I saw the bill sent by the fire department, and I guess I want to die.
"Those who abandon the clan have their own harvest!"
Jian Heng said with a smile, he didn't cook happily, he just lay on the window and watched the busy firefighters jump up and down, there was no fire at all, but they seemed to be very professional.
This is not to blame Jian Heng, people have a cold face, Jian Heng is not cheap, and he tells people the precautions for living in the United States!
For example, in Jian Heng's house, every time he wants to stir-fry, the smoke detector in the kitchen is covered with a disposable plastic round lunch box, and no matter how big the smoke is, he is not afraid.
This is the method taught by the old immigrants, if this family intends to mix with the Chinese circle, Jian Heng will definitely say something to pay attention to in the United States as soon as possible, this person who is unwilling to get into the circle and is willing to mix with the old foreigners, where will he know about these?
Therefore, this time this real trick, I can't blame others, it is purely self-inflicted.
People who have been in the United States for a long time know that not only Chinese, but also Americans themselves vomit this matter, whether it is a fire truck or an ambulance is a thing that requires money to kill, if there is still a trace of possibility, the average family will not call, because the last time it was called a few thousand dollars, it is really not called by ordinary people, and it will be almost bankrupt a few times, and it will be more painful to burn it out and die directly.
In the news report, someone was called an ambulance because he fainted on the street, and after being sent to the hospital to wake up, he saw the ambulance bill and had a heart attack and fell down.
It's definitely not a made-up story, it's true!
Le Hehe gloated as he watched the firefighters get the family out of the room, and the sturdy and charming firefighters, some pulling adults, some holding children, kept doing this until they reached the bottom of the building.
At the beginning, this family seemed to be scared silly, and when they got to the bottom of the building and came back to their senses, they probably didn't expect the American people's firefighters to be so caring, and it wasn't enough to get their own family down, and there was a doctor who kept shouting English at himself, asking himself how was this, how was that, was there anything uncomfortable?
It may be that this family was moved by such an enthusiastic American firefighter, Jian Heng looked at the two living treasures when they came back to their senses, and they held the hands of the firefighters vigorously, and kept saying that it was three grams of oil!
It's still the kind with a crying tone, which looks more touching than the tear-jerking stories of the Spring Festival Gala!
As far as Jian Heng is concerned, the gratitude of the two adults is sincere, at least for now, and there is no emptiness at all, looking at these two people, not only tears, but even snot is about to come down. That guy is called an input, and Jian Heng who watched it was disgusting in his heart!
Not interested in watching it anymore, Jian Heng retracted his head here, and continued to cook his own food, ten minutes later, Jian Heng sat down at the table at home and began to eat, the big bowl was piled with green pepper eggs on top, and white rice was below, and he ate it while watching TV.
After eating and taking a nap, Jian Heng got up and prepared to go to Zhao Changshan, locked the door and went downstairs, but saw a long table on the side of the road at the door, with a donation box on it, and the family was standing next to it, but there was no longer the embarrassment just now, and now the family had changed into clean clothes and looked presentable.
Almost everyone who passed by threw money into the donation box, and Jian Heng was not good at being outside, so he couldn't let others give love to himself.
Although he doesn't like this family, Jian Heng also understands that the United States pays a lot of attention to this so-called love, and this is the time to show whether you have love for the community.
took out five beautiful knives and threw them into the box when he passed by, Jian Heng heard the man say thank you, but when Jian Heng looked up at him, he obviously saw the unnaturalness on his face.
"! It's still very hypocritical at this time! Jian Heng cursed secretly in his heart, eager to get the money back in the box, and finally held back his nausea and walked away.
This kind of nausea has been accompanied by Jian Heng to Zhao Changshan's restaurant, when he saw the thick smile on Zhao Changshan's face, Jian Heng was completely comfortable, we Chinese should be such a man who values love and righteousness, if you don't want to, no one will force you to be a Chinese.
"Wherever you want to sit, feel free to sit," Zhao Changshan stretched out his hand and pulled around the empty restaurant.
"Don't even have a buddy?" Jian Heng pulled out a chair at random and sat directly next to a table at the entrance of the door.
"They're all out playing! Some may be looking for work, after all, everyone has to survive, in case it drags on for another ten or so days, what will everyone eat! Zhao Changshan said, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked.
knew that Jian Heng didn't smoke, so he didn't give it to Jian Heng.
"Cooking, you don't want to play with me, do you?"
After talking for a while, Jian Heng found that Zhao Changshan hadn't gotten up to cook yet, and immediately urged him.
"Wait for someone, I'll introduce you to you when the time comes!" Zhao Changshan said.
Looking at the smile on Zhao Changshan's face, Jian Heng couldn't help but be a little curious, and let out a soft voice: "Oh."
