Chapter 003
It took Yang Ming’s cousins a full fourteen hours on the road, and at noon the next day, they returned to New York’s Chinatown.
The brothers took turns driving, and when they returned home, although Yang Lehai had slept in the car, he was still very tired and drove home without saying a word.
Yang Ming’s mother and son did not live with their family, but came out to rent a house alone, and the landlord was Yang Ming’s uncle himself.
In the eighties, the implementation of reform and opening up in China set off a wave of immigration, and countless college students or families, in just a few years, all immigrated to North America, including Yang Ming’s uncle’s family.
Yang Ming’s uncle Yang Zhihui, who belongs to the new third generation when the college entrance examination was just resumed, came here to study for two years, and did not choose to return to China after graduation, but stayed in New York.
After two or three years of hard work, he not only made a career, opened a restaurant, and became a boss. After having a small wealth, he got on the immigration train and brought his wife and children from home.
The whole family immigrated, got a green card, became a citizen of the US imperialism, and became tall for a while. When returning to China for the New Year, he walked with the wind and became the envy of every family in the community.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with Yang Ming’s mother and son, but an accident of Yang Ming’s father, after being killed in the line of duty, the uncle felt that it was not easy for Yang Ming’s mother, who had been laid off from a state-owned enterprise early, to bring her son alone, and gave herself the opportunity to work in a hotel a year ago.
Yang’s mother was not happy at first because of the difficulty of leaving her homeland, but Yang Ming was a reborn person, and her uncle used Yang Ming to get a better education after going abroad, and the two of them helped her make up her mind in two or three sentences.
The reason why Yang Ming advised his mother was precisely because of the three choices given by the system.
If you don’t get here, how can you come to the Chicago Bulls to watch Jordan live?
When she arrived in the United States, Yang’s mother worked in the restaurant as her uncle wished, and through a year of hard work, diligence and dedication, she had successfully become a foreman and became a small leader of a restaurant.
In order to be able to go to Chicago to spend money to buy tickets to watch the game live, Yang Ming is also saving money every day, and finally completed the task of watching Jordan’s ten games live intermittently during several holidays this season.
Yang Ming’s mother and son live in two bedrooms and one living room, except for the narrow and tight living, and the rent of 300 US dollars is paid every month, everything else is fine.
He entered the house, went back to his room, took a shower, cleaned himself up, and went downstairs to his uncle’s restaurant.
Yang Zhihui’s restaurant is just around the corner of the two intersections in front, it is an ordinary restaurant with only one floor, about two hundred square meters, which can serve thirty or forty customers at the same time, and has about three or four thousand US dollars of profit every day.
However, a profit of 100,000 US dollars a month is quite awesome in Chinatown.
It is very famous in Chinatown, not only popular with locals, but also tourists and foreigners.
When Yang Ming walked into the Yang family restaurant, a busy and quiet aura came to his face, and before he could look at it, the aunt who was sitting at the cashier at the gate saw him, directly cold-faced, and scolded: “Why did you go, why is it so late?” ”
“Hurry up and eat, and then come out to help.”
The so-called help, but they just squeezed Yang Ming, a child laborer.
Yang Ming works part-time here every day as a waiter and delivery man, but he only gets a five-dollar salary, which is quite cheap.
The aunt did not like him, not only because others were tall and could eat, but also because he was dissatisfied with his uncle’s arrangement of their mother and son.
In her opinion, their mother and son were countrymen who had defected to their relatives.
Very poor, unable to afford it, still a single-parent family, with two more sets of chopsticks for meals every day, and arranging housing.
In particular, he had the greatest opinion on the uncle’s behavior of renting his house to Yang Ming’s mother and son.
She believes that if the house is rented out not to their mother and son, but to the outside world, she can earn hundreds of dollars more a month. She was like Grandet, a miser, who was obsessed with the loss of hundreds of dollars a month, and looked at their mother and son left and right.
If it weren’t for the uncle coordinating from it, saying good things from time to time, and Yang’s mother working very hard, sharing too much pressure from her, otherwise what they usually got would only be more white eyes and sneers.
Because of her sensory relationship, the relationship between her cousin and their mother and son is also cold and indifferent, and it is difficult to see a good face when they meet, almost treating them as outsiders.
Fortunately, cousin Yang Lehai likes basketball as much as Yang Ming, and usually likes to watch games, especially the Knicks and Jordan, there is a bit of a common topic, the generation gap is not large, so his attitude towards Yang Ming is relatively better.
But it’s just better.
Going to the scene to watch the game, although Yang Lehai drove back and forth like the driver, Yang Ming was the one who paid for the fuel and half of the ticket money.
The attitude of their family towards the two of them has long been felt by Yang Ming and Yang’s mother, but after a year of getting along, they have long been accustomed to it.
Yang’s mother is for Yang Ming to swallow his anger, the latter in addition to the tasks of the system, more for two lifetimes, relaxed mentality, do not want to make calculations, provoke the uncle to be difficult.
Of course, if he had the opportunity, he would still take his mother out of here immediately, away from his aunt’s family.
And now, here comes the opportunity.
Yang Ming didn’t reply, went straight into the kitchen, hurriedly filled his stomach, changed into his uniform and began to serve dishes.
Even in a waiter’s uniform, he was quite handsome, and every customer at the table, whether they knew them or not, couldn’t help but smile at him kindly.
Looking at his busy appearance left and right, at the kitchen door, Yang Mu, who directed others to do things, was very distressed.
At his age, he should study well, not do such a job!
In order to free up more time to spend on Curry’s shooting training card and ball control training card to improve himself, in the evening, Yang Ming announced on the spot that he would quit this cheap child labor at the end of the stall time when he had dinner with his mother and uncle’s family.
The mother was very relieved and very understanding, and the uncle did not say anything, and agreed with his head full.
But the aunt expressed great dissatisfaction because of the lack of a tall and very diligent guy like him, and blackface the whole time.
Her attitude and face made him frown deeply, greatly unhappy, and also strengthened his determination to improve himself as soon as possible and prepare for the trial.
You have to get your mom out of here as soon as possible!
