"I told you in the morning that my deceased adoptive parents were Chinese, so I knew Chinese and needed to make money to support myself. I wanted to go to Chinatown to see if I could find a job to teach Chinese English.

It takes at least four or five hours to walk to Chinatown, then ask around, and then walk back to the welfare home.

If I can't catch up with the welfare home dinner, I will have to be hungry all night.

Man, although we have just met for a day, I am a very strict friend, right?”

"That's how it is", probably the word friend touched Frank. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached into his pocket and took out a few coins and a dollar bill.

Then he looked at Li Changheng carefully and asked, "When are you going to pay me back? Remember to give me interest."

Li Changheng didn't care how much interest can he get when borrowing a dollar, but he pretended to be upset and muttered, "You want to make money crazy, you need interest for every dollar?"

The interest rates for bank deposits and loans these days are very high. According to Li Changheng's memory, the interest rates for loans at this time can be as high as 15% annual interest.

Frank smiled seriously and said, "One dollar account can be opened and deposited in a bank for 9 cents a year, so friends are friends, but why can't I ask for your interest?"

"Ok, OK, I'll give you 5 cents a month." Li Changheng stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Frank, but the guy finally gave him only a 50 and a 25 cent coin.

"It should be 25 cents to go to Chinatown by car, 50 cents to go back and forth. I also left you 25 cents to buy a loaf of bread."

“fk,you”.

Li Changheng cursed unhappily, but after taking a few steps, he turned around and said, "I am different from you. Although I am poor, I keep my word and give you 75 cents of principal a month and add 5 cents of interest."

Frank looked at Li Changheng who was leaving quickly, and suddenly felt that he was too much?

And today I was worried that Li Changheng would go to report and expose his impersonation as a teacher.

But a day passed and I had nothing to do. Although I was forced to borrow 75 cents, Li Changheng's words just now made it difficult for Frank to think about the direction he was blackmailed.

And even if you want to blackmail, no one will see a dollar bill, just take away two steel bars, right?

Feeling that I was about to lose a friend I had just met for a day, Frank hurriedly chased him and muttered beside Li Changheng like a younger brother.

"I'm kidding, Henry, if you need it, I'll lend you all my pocket money."

Li Changheng was happy. He had no money for him, but now he had hope of making money, so he didn't need to pay money like Frank.

Instead, we should show our backbone and ambition so that we can leave a deep enough impression in the hearts of young people like Frank who have no friends.

In the future, they will naturally occupy a dominant position in the relationship between the two.

"Don't worry, Frank, I'm not angry with you. After all, you can lend me money, which is the greatest help," Li Changheng stopped and said to Frank seriously, "And you're right, 75 cents are enough for me.

And I don’t want to blackmail you, so I don’t have to borrow more money. When I find a job and get my first salary, I will invite you to the Burger King.”

"You said that," Frank nodded happily, then secretly ignored Li Changheng's expression, and saw that there was a smile on his face.

He also wanted to make some money, so hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Then, can I go to Chinatown with you?"

Li Changheng was stunned, "Get some pocket money together with me?"

"Yes, yes," Frank said with a gloomy face, "You have guessed that there is indeed something financially wrong with my family, and I have just moved to this neighborhood, you are just a friend, and you have no idea of ​​going home so early."

"Tomorrow," she didn't want to take her son to Chinatown in front of Frank's mother. She just met her one day and took her son to Chinatown. Li Changheng looked at the blue used car on the street.

"You just transferred to school and went out to wander around with me on the first day. Your parents would definitely think I was taking you badly.

Moreover, you can't speak Chinese, so I'd better go to Chinatown to get to know the situation first."

Chinese people are not easy to live in these days, so they can easily form special groups. However, such black groups don’t care about ordinary people entering Chinatown, but they are likely to be eyeing Frank, a hollow boss in a private school and famous school uniform.

"Drip, drip, drip".

A series of loud horns came, and Frank looked at his mother who was waving to him and could only say goodbye to Li Changheng in unhappy.

He hadn't suffered any pain yet, but suddenly felt that Li Changhenbi, who had not yet grown up, had to think about making money, was like a child who had not grown up.

Li Changheng smiled and waved his hand with Frank in the car, watching the blue car leave before getting on a bus.

After spending thirty minutes on the road, the car arrived at Duban Street, got off the car and asked for directions. After walking a while, I saw the green tiles and archways.

Just as I was about to walk into the archway, I was stopped by several Chinese wearing black training suits.

He heard a not-so-friendly English question, "Who are you looking for?"

‘Don’t let in?’ Li Changheng was stunned and suddenly thought that on the way to the bus, he saw the park and protesters in several streets.

I couldn't help but think that it was August 1968, and it was the most intense period of the Americans protesting against Vietnam and the war. It was inevitable that the Chinese, who had been treated specially in the United States, would become nervous.

And after seeing that none of the people passing by the archway were foreigners, Li Changheng cursed in his heart and said in pure Mandarin, "Don't be nervous, my adoptive parents are Chinese, and I came here to find a job."

Hearing Li Changheng's Mandarin, he spoke more standard than many of them. A few young Chinese relaxed and couldn't help but complain,

"Since you are a child raised by Chinese, you are half your own person. You can go in,

But nowadays, not everyone has a job. You even want to come to Chinatown to grab a job, be careful of being beaten.”

"I,," Li Changheng scratched his head depressedly and asked tentatively, "I plan to be an English teacher for those Chinese who have just immigrated. This is not considered stealing other people's jobs, right?"

"Don't think about it," the leading young man smiled and said, "You are half your own person, but rich Chinese will not seek you as a tutor, a ignorant little guy. A rich Chinese don't have to spend money to hire a teacher to teach you.

As long as you are willing to learn, there are people around you who are willing to talk to English for free. It takes one or two years to have a normal conversation.

As for children who are eager to go to school, we have our own schools and teachers.”

Hell, Li Changheng suddenly realized that the situation of the Chinese in the United States and China was worse than that in decades later. He instinctively guarded against not knowing people who did not know the origin, even if they wanted to hire a teacher, they would go to teach the Chinese teacher.
