Chapter 1571: : The Tribulation of Fools (1 more)

Jim was pleased to leave Zhou Yi temporarily, and ran to check the origins of the Zhang brothers and sisters.

Anyway, Zhou Yi didn't have much to watch now, the last robbery made her remember so deeply, she would never act alone.

And Ye Xiaoqiong has not appeared again recently, naturally no one will be embarrassed with Zhou Yi deliberately.

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

Xia Xiaolan simply went to Chinatown to settle lunch.

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

She didn't worry about meeting Zhou Yi either. It was the peak lunch period and the restaurant's business was very good. Zhou Yi worked illegally to help in the kitchen and would not easily come to the dining area.

Xia Xiaolan just came to look at the environment, and the owner of the restaurant asked for a business card, saying that there will be a demand for dinner.

Although there was no take-out app in 1986, take-out services already existed, all of which were ordered by phone. It's just that Chinese restaurants are not cheap at all, and they are more expensive to deliver.

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

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

Zhou Yi's backer was eating in the restaurant, and Zhou Yi's hands that hadn't suffered bitterness were all wrinkled and skinned after soaking in the water for a long time.

My waist hurts too.

She wanted to retreat on the first day at work. It was the Chinese students who came together to persuade her:

"If you don't do this job, where else can you find a job? You can only go to the car wash, but it will be taken advantage of by people. I don't recommend you to go."

Zhou Yi's waist was almost broken.

She did not endure hardship in the confinement, and lived for more than 20 years without enduring hardship.

Who could have thought that by mistake, Miss Zhou's family would actually be reduced to washing dishes for people to earn living expenses!

Although it is summer, the tap water for washing dishes does not freeze hands, but if you soak in the dishwashing water for a few hours a day, your hands must be skinned and wrinkled, and within a few days it becomes horrible.

The Chinese girl who introduced Zhou Yi to also worked in the back kitchen, but she came a little earlier and was better than Zhou Yi. She cut vegetables in the back kitchen, and the hourly salary was a little higher than that of Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi took 1.5 US dollars. Take 2 dollars.

Zhou Yi has never been in the kitchen since she was a child. She couldn't do it even if she was envious of the easier work of others. She asked her to pick up a heavy kitchen knife and chop off her fingers to add vegetables to the guests.

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

She didn't want to be seen by Xia Xiaolan in her embarrassment. She fell the plate when she was in a trance, and was naturally scolded by the boss's wife:

"I really can't afford a lady like you. You have been working for a few days, and you still break dishes? You can't even wash a bowl. What can you do with waste like you! I'm mad at you!"

With water dripping in both hands, Zhou Yi's eyes widened, Xiao Qi, a Chinese girl who cuts vegetables, quickly put down her kitchen knife and persuaded her to stand:

"Madame, Zhou Yi is just here too, she will pay attention next time, so don't scold him. It's okay to scold Zhou Yi. It's not worthwhile to get angry with your own health."

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

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

"Okay, okay, I don't bother to care about her! Tell her to quickly clean up the broken bowls on the floor!"

The lady boss twisted her fat buttocks and left.

Zhou Yi squatted down to pick up the debris, and cut her fingers again. The blood came out all of a sudden, Xiao Qi ran over to help: "Why are you so careless! Hurry up, put under the faucet, and I will find some gauze for you." ."

Zhou Yi wrapped her hands, and there was a pile of bowls waiting for her to wash.

There were two hands just now, but now there is only one hand left to wash, and the movements are a lot slower, so naturally I was scolded by the proprietress.

Zhou Yi's eyes were full of tears, and she cried and washed the dishes.

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

"Why do you think we came to the U.S.? We are having a good time in China. The official work of the unit is not proper. I will come to the U.S. to wash the dishes!"

Xiao Qi put a meal in his mouth, "Having been suffering from bitterness, Fang is a master, few people from China have not washed the dishes, did you know that the wife and wife were still in the mall when they first arrived in the United States? Foreigners shine shoes at the door."

Xiao Qi thinks that the owner and wife of this restaurant are very inspirational. From shining shoes to earn tips, to switching to catering, they have their own Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, and they have taken root in the United States.

Zhou Yi whispered, "At that time they were exploited by capitalism, and now they have become capitalists who exploited us."

The old bridesmaid of the capitalist came to tell Zhou Yi like she had long ears.

"In addition to the bowls you smashed today, you have smashed 17 bowls and plates, all of which will be deducted from your salary!"

Today is the day when the regular employees of Chinese restaurants are paid. Zhou Yi and Xiaoqi also need to be paid.

Zhou Yi also came here for 12 days, a total of 69 working hours. She was supposed to receive a salary of $103.5 and was deducted by the boss. In the end, she only got $80.

Xiao Qi has been doing well. He has already figured out the restaurant routines. Basically, he has not been deducted much. He has 175 working hours in a whole month and received 350 US dollars.

Zhou Yi was very envious of Xiao Qi.

After envying her, she wanted to cry. Why did she fall to this point? The dishwashing envious of cutting vegetables?

"Can't we do a better job?"

Xiao Qibai glanced at her, "Do you think I want to chop vegetables? My hands also hold a pen in China! But the student visa we got can not work outside the school at all, and it will be over if caught by the Immigration Bureau! Do you think this? Is it different from the United States in your imagination? When you pass the language school assessment and apply to a good university, you will have a real chance to find a good job after graduation."

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

Isnt it just for a better life in the future to cut vegetables and wash dishes, and study hard in a language school?

Xiao Qi is the kind of person who works very hard, not forgetting to memorize English words while cutting vegetables.

When Zhou Yi heard her mention the language school assessment, she was shocked: in a few days it will be the first assessment of the language school, and it will be assessed once a month. Those who can pass will enter the next level language class. Those who fail the assessment Still stay in the original class.

She was going to stay in Class 101. Xia Xiaolan knew that she must have died miserably.

Zhou Yi cried anxiously:

"Can I pass the exam?"

Xiao Qi looked blank. As a person who was promoted to the 108th class, she was really surprised how anyone would even be afraid of the 101st class.

You can learn more than just class 101.

Class 101 is basically for students from various countries who come to the United States without a little English.

Those who have no foundation will be classified at level 101, and most people will soon get rid of level 101.

A little bit more difficult is the level 105 or above, and at level 107, every level will be particularly difficult. If Xiaoqi can successfully upgrade to level 109 this time, she can even apply for a community college based on her grades!

"You will pass the exam, don't be afraid of shame, communicate more in English with others, say as many words as you know, and if you don't have the courage to say it, it's over!"
