"Then.... happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

. . . . . . . . .

Saying goodbye to Edward, who had a smile on his face, Dior and Will got back into the second-hand Chevrolet and left without speaking.

It wasn't until he entered downtown New York that Will regained his chatty nature and asked, "Where to go? Back to the restaurant or?"

Dio was silent for a while, then said in a slightly low tone: "Go home!"

Dior's family of three is also in Chinatown, only two blocks away from their small restaurant. Since it is in Manhattan with the infamous 'Hell's Kitchen', of course the law and order is not good, but Chinatown is at the southern end. City, and 'Hell's Kitchen' is in West Midtown.

Recalling the memories he got, Dior knew that his British father came to the restaurant jointly run by his mother and his family because of a chance coincidence, that is, the small restaurant left to him fell in love at first sight.

Then in order to be able to be together, Dior's father gave up his great future, and also broke with his family in the UK, and was willing to stay in a mixed Chinatown and run a small restaurant with Dior's mother.

In my memory, Dior's father is a very funny and humorous gentleman, but he still has the stubbornness and pride of the British in his bones, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes, so that he has made bad friends with many people.

And don't think that in Chinatown, the Chinese are really a big family that loves each other, right?

What can't be done at home, can be done abroad?

Maybe it was really mutual help at first to encourage survival in this foreign land, but with the expansion of Chinatown, it now includes 45 streets, with a total area of ​​more than 4 square kilometers, and a total of more than 800,000 Chinese people. Existing in this land, the so-called 'holding together' has also changed its nature.

I will not talk about gangs, stabbing knives in the back, and fighting in the nest has become a common occurrence. Maybe the Chinese who just came here don’t have deep feelings, but Dior, who has inherited his memory of living here for more than 20 years, knows these things well. How terrible is it for the 'compatriots' to play hard.

In fact, if you think about why the expansion is so rapid, you will know. It is really impossible not to annex other districts. More and more Chinese come to the United States, and when they come, they will come to the name of Chinatown. There are a lot of black households here, what should I do?

There are more and more people, and there are restaurants and convenience stores run by Chinese people everywhere. Under the competition, who can make a lot of money?

Let me tell you one of the most real things. When a fellow came to New York for the first time, he planned to open a convenience store in Chinatown. As a result, the store opened, but every day, a large number of gang members came to collect protection fees. There is a second one, there are at least dozens of famous gangs in Chinatown, and there are countless small gangs. Who can afford them?

And they were all a bunch of guys who didn't do anything with money. The fellow was finally forced to say, "I paid the money to the XX gang, why should I pay it?"

People just said, you paid money to the XX gang but didn't give it to us, you looked down on us, didn't you?

The villagers were angry and didn’t give it, and the next day, some gang members came to rob with guns, okay, don’t give it, let’s get it ourselves!

In the end, the store could not be opened anymore, and the fellow returned home in despair.

This matter seems to be a problem of public security in the United States, but the 'old people' in Chinatown are all clear in their hearts. This is offending people. Someone is behind the scenes. Otherwise, if everyone is so messed up, the business in Chinatown will be crashed.

Later, someone found out after inquiring that it was the owner of a convenience store next door who was behind this incident. It is said that he and the person who returned to China were still fellow villagers. On the opening day, they also sent flower baskets with a smile...

Therefore, Chinatown is not as good as the Chinese think. There are good people with good hearts, and naturally there is no shortage of bad people in the nest.

(What Lao Wu Mian is telling is the real story. There are relatives in the United States. The water is very deep here. Just a reminder to everyone.)

. . . . . . . . . .

Just when Dior fell into memory, Will turned left and right and came to an old building. It is said that the grandfather of Dior's grandfather lived here. To this day, I don't know if it is true or not.

"Go up?"

"Wait, wait until I finish this cigarette."

When the car window came down, Dio threw one to Will, then lit one for himself, and stared out like this.

Although the soul in the body has been changed, the memory of 'Dior' itself for more than 20 years is not false, and there is no need to distinguish it so clearly, so when it comes to this time, Dior is a little hesitant.

Time for a cigarette soon.

"Let's go."

Pushing open the car door, stomping on the cigarette butts, Dior and Will went upstairs.

During this period, many people greeted Dior, and the meaning inside and outside of the words made him feel sorry, look at it a little bit, as for how many of these people are sincere, and how many are pretending to be watching the fun. Unknown.

He took out the key and opened the door. There seemed to be a smell of coal left inside. There was also a layer of dust on the ground and the table, which looked particularly rundown.

How could such a small nest not be aware of the smell of gas and fall asleep?

Not to mention that Dior's parents still run restaurants, so they should pay more attention to the hidden dangers in this area.

However, this is only suspicion. The police have also come, but the sentence "illegal modification of gas pipes" has closed the case.

Without him, it's just a feature of Chinatown, because Laomei generally does not use gas to cook vegetables, and many Chinese will make a lot of jokes when they first come to the United States. For example, cooking a dish attracts a fire truck. What an exaggerated joke.

Inside the house, after a circle alone, Dior came out.

"Don't live here anymore?"

"Well, I turned around and found that the only thing worth taking away is this album, and the other things are left here." Dio chuckled and raised the album in his hand, which recorded their family of three over the years. bits and pieces, so he's ready to take away.

Will nodded indifferently, and then asked, "Where are you going to live? Are you renting an apartment? I still have land..."

"Thank you, but I'm going to live in the hotel during this time, and by the way, it's time to prepare for the opening." Dio immediately rejected Will's proposal. In fact, the place where this guy lives is like a pig's den, and he keeps returning from time to time. There will be gang members running over, even if he has no cleanliness, he does not despise his gang buddy, but after all, that is not the case.

And after burying his parents, he's about to start making money, and there's nothing wrong with living in a restaurant during this time.
