V1.Chapter 1571

Jim happily put Zhou Yi aside for the time being and ran to check the origin of the Zhang brothers and sisters.

Anyway, Zhou Yi has nothing to stare at now. The last robbery made her remember deeply and she will never act alone.

Ye Xiaoqiong hasn't appeared again recently. Naturally, no one will deliberately embarrass Zhou Yi.

Xia Xiaolan went to the theater construction site on Broadway at the weekend. Matthew was also running to New York, but Matthew went for the decoration of Tina's house.

Xia Xiaolan simply went to Chinatown for lunch.

According to Jim's address, she found the Chinese restaurant where Zhou Yi worked.

She wasn't worried about meeting Zhou Yi. It was the lunch rush hour. The business of the restaurant was very good. Zhou Yi worked in the kitchen to help, so she didn't come to the dining area easily.

Xia Xiaolan just came to see the environment. The restaurant owner asked for a business card and said that she would order meals if there was demand in the future.

In 1986, although there was no takeout app, takeout service already existed, and all meals were ordered by telephone. It's just that Chinese restaurants are not cheap at all. It's more expensive to deliver them to the door.

It's a pity that Zhou Yi can't help in the front hall. The waiter's salary is higher than that of the back kitchen. The waiter still has a tip.

There was a faint sound of plates falling in the back kitchen, and then a woman with a Minnan accent scolded.

Zhou Yi's big backer ate in the store, and Zhou Yi's hands, which had never suffered, had been soaked in the water for a long time and wrinkled all over the skin.

My waist hurts.

On her first day at work, she wanted to back down. It was the Chinese students who came together who persuaded her:

"Without this job, where can I find a job? I can only wash the car, but it will be taken advantage of by the population. I don't suggest you go. "

Zhou Yi's waist is almost broken.

She didn't suffer during the month, and she didn't suffer for more than 20 years.

Who could have thought that the big miss of the Zhou family was reduced to washing dishes to earn living expenses!

Although it is summer, the tap water for washing dishes is not cold, but soaking in the dishwashing water for a few hours a day, your hands must be skinned and wrinkled, and it becomes terrible in a few days.

The Chinese girl who introduced Zhou Yilai also worked in the back kitchen, but she came earlier and was better than Zhou Yi. She started cutting vegetables in the back kitchen and her hourly salary was a little higher than Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi took $1.50 and the other party took $2.

Zhou Yi had never been in the kitchen since she was a child. Even if she envied that other people's work was easier, she couldn't do it. She told her to pick up a heavy kitchen knife and cut off her fingers to add food to the guests.

Xia Xiaolan didn't see Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi heard Xia Xiaolan's voice.

She didn't want Xia Xiaolan to witness her embarrassment. As soon as she was in a trance, she dropped the plate. Naturally, she was scolded by the boss's wife

"I really can't afford to hire a young lady like you. You've been working for a few days and still break the plate? I can't even wash the dishes. What else can a waste like you do! I'm so angry! "

Zhou Yi's hands were dripping with water and her eyes widened. The Chinese girl who cut vegetables, Xiao Qi, quickly put down her kitchen knife and persuaded her to fight:

"Landlady, Zhou Yi has just arrived. She will pay attention next time. Don't scold. Scold Zhou Yi for being okay. It's not cost-effective to be angry with your own body."

Compared with the hard Zhou Yi, Xiao Qi's mouth is very sweet.

If it weren't for the sake of fellow Chinese, Xiao Qi really didn't want to help Zhou Yi.

"All right, all right, I'm too lazy to argue with her! Tell her to clean up the broken bowls on the ground quickly! "

The landlady twisted her fat buttocks and left.

Zhou Yi squatted down to pick up the fragments and cut her finger again. The blood suddenly came out. Xiao Qi ran to help: "Why are you so careless! Come on, come on, run under the tap. I'll find you some gauze. "

Zhou Yi wrapped her hands and had a pile of bowls waiting for her to wash.

It was two hands just now. Now there is only one hand to wash. The action is much slower. Naturally, she was scolded by the landlady.

Zhou Yi was in tears. She finished washing the bowl in tears.

When she and Xiao Qi finished the peak period at noon, Zhou Yi's eyes were crying and swollen, holding her hand wrapped in gauze:

"What do you think we're doing in America? Have a good life in China. If the formal work of the unit is improper, I come to the United States to wash dishes! "

Xiao Qi took a meal in his mouth. "You're a master. Few people from home haven't washed the dishes. Do you know that when the landlady and her husband first arrived in the United States, they were still polishing their shoes at the gate of the mall."

Xiao Qi thinks that the owner and his wife are very inspirational. They have changed from shoeshine to catering. They have their own Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and are also rooted in the United States.

Zhou Yi whispered, "at that time, they were exploited by capitalism. Now they have become capitalists who exploit us."

The old maid of honor of the capitalist came over and told Zhou Yi as if she had a pleasant ear:

"With the broken bowls today, you have broken 17 bowls and plates, which will be deducted from your salary!"

Today is the day when the regular employees of the Chinese restaurant are paid. Zhou Yi and Xiao Qi also need to be paid.

Zhou Yi also came for 12 days, a total of 69 working hours. She should have received a salary of $103.5. She was deducted by the landlady, and finally she got only $80.

Xiao Qi was good. He had already found out the restaurant routine. Basically, he didn't get much money deducted. He had 175 working hours in a whole month and received $350.

Zhou Yi is very envious of Xiao Qi.

After envy, she wanted to cry. Why did she fall to this point? The dishwasher envied a vegetable cutter?

"Can't we do better work?"

Little Qibai glanced at her, "do you think I want to cut vegetables? My hands are also holding pens in China! But the student visa we get can't work outside the school at all. It's over if we're caught by the immigration bureau! Do you think this is different from the imagined United States? When you pass the examination from the language school and apply to a good university, you really have a chance to find a good job after graduation. "

At that time, there will be a chance to stay in the United States.

Now I cut vegetables, wash dishes and study hard in the language school, isn't it for the good days in the future?

Xiao Qi works very hard. He doesn't forget to memorize English words when cutting vegetables.

Zhou Yi was shocked when she mentioned the assessment of the language school: it will be the first assessment of the language school in a few days. The assessment will be conducted once a month. Those who can pass will enter the next language class, and those who can't pass the assessment will remain in the original class.

If she wants to stay in class 101, Xia Xiaolan knows that she must die miserably.

Zhou Yiji's quick cry:

"Can I pass the examination?"

Xiao Qi looked blankly. As a person who was promoted to class 108, she really wondered how anyone would be afraid of the assessment of class 101.

Just learn it, it's more than the level of class 101.

Class 101 is basically for students from various countries who can't come to the United States without a little English.

Those without foundation will be assigned to level 101, and most people will soon get rid of level 101.

A little more difficult is level 105 or above. At level 107, each level will be particularly difficult. If Xiao Qi can successfully rise to level 109 this time, she can even apply for a community university with her grades!

"You will pass the exam. Don't be afraid of shame. Communicate more with others in English. You can say as many words as you can. If you don't have the courage to say, it's really over!"
