    ?

    Jim happily put Zhou Yi aside for the time being, and went to check the origins of the Zhang brothers and sisters.

    Anyway, Zhou Yi has nothing to stare at now, the last robbery left a deep memory in her memory, and she will never act alone.

    And Ye Xiaoqiong hasn't appeared again recently, so naturally no one would intentionally make things difficult for Zhou Yi.

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

    Xia Xiaolan simply went to Chinatown for lunch.

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

    She wasn't worried about meeting Zhou Yi either. It was the peak lunch hour at this time, and the restaurant's business was very good. Zhou Yi's illegal job was to help in the kitchen, so she wouldn't come to the dining area easily.

    Xia Xiaolan just came to check on the environment. The owner of the restaurant asked for a business card and said that he would order food if there was a need.

    In 1986, although there was no food delivery app, the food delivery service already existed, and orders were all made by phone.  It's just that Chinese restaurants are not cheap at all, and it's even more expensive to deliver them to your door.

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

    There was a faint sound of throwing plates in the back kitchen, and then there was a woman with a southern Hokkien accent cursing.

    Zhou Yi's big backer ate in the store, and Zhou Yi's hands, which had never suffered, were wrinkled and peeled after soaking in the water for a long time.

    My waist hurts too.

    ? On the first day of work, she wanted to retreat, but it was the students from Huaguo who came together who persuaded her:

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

    Zhou Yi's waist is almost broken.

    She didn't suffer during the confinement period, and she didn't suffer from living for more than 20 years.

    Who would have thought that by accident, Miss Zhou's family would be reduced to washing dishes for others to earn living expenses!

    Although it is summer, the tap water for washing dishes does not freeze hands, but after soaking in dishwashing water for a few hours a day, the hands will definitely wrinkle and become miserable 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 worked in the back kitchen and cut vegetables, and her hourly salary was a little higher than Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi took $1.50, and the other party  Take $2.

    Zhou Yi has never been in the kitchen since she was a child. Even if she envied other people's easier work, she couldn't do it. She asked her to pick up a heavy kitchen knife and chop off her own fingers to add food to 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 very much, so she dropped the plate when she was in a trance, and was scolded bloody by the proprietress:

    "I really can't afford to invite a young lady like you. You have been working for a few days, and you still break the dishes? You can't even wash the dishes. What can a waste like you do! I am so mad!"

    Zhou Yi's hands were dripping with water, her eyes widened, Xiao Qi, a Chinese girl who was chopping vegetables, hurriedly put down her kitchen knife to persuade her to fight:

    "Miss Boss, Zhou Yi has just arrived, she will pay attention next time, so please stop scolding, scolding Zhou Yi is fine, it's not worthwhile to get mad at your own body."

    Comparing with Zhou Yi who is tough, Xiao Qi's mouth is very sweet.

    Xiao Qi really didn't want to help Zhou Yi if it wasn't for the sake of being a fellow from Huaguo.

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

    The proprietress left with her fat buttocks twisted.

    Zhou Yi squatted down to pick up the pieces, cut off her finger again, and the blood came out all of a sudden, Xiao Qi ran over to help: "Why are you so careless! Hurry up, put it under the faucet, and I'll find you some gauze  .¡±

    Zhou Yi wrapped her hands, and there were still a bunch of dishes waiting for her to wash.

    Just now it was two hands, now only one hand is left to wash, and the action is much slower, naturally scolded by the proprietress.

    Zhou Yi was tearful, she finished washing the dishes while crying.

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

    "What do you think we are doing in the United States? We are living well in China, but the official work in the unit is improper. I come to the United States to wash dishes!"

    Xiao Qi put the food in his mouth, "It's hard to eat, and you are a master. How many people from China have never washed the dishes? Do you know that when the proprietress and his wife first arrived in the United States, they were still in the shopping mall?  Foreigners shine shoes at the gate."

    Xiao Qi thinks that the owner and husband of this restaurant are very inspirational. From earning tips from shoe shines, to switching to catering, they have their own Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, and they have taken root in the United States.

    ?Yi Yi whispered, "At that time they were exploited by capitalism, but now they are capitalists who exploit us."

    The old bridesmaid of the capitalist ran over and told Zhou Yi as if she had grown ears:

    "Including the broken bowls today, you have already broken 17 bowls and plates, all of which will be deducted from your salary!"

    Today is the day when the official staff of the Chinese restaurant are paid, and Zhou Yi and Xiao Qi also need to receive their salaries.

    Zhou Yi has only been here for 12 days, with a total of 69 working hours. She should have received a salary of $103.5, but was deducted by the lady boss. In the end, she only got $80.

    Fortunately, Xiao Qi has already figured out the restaurant routines, and basically has not been charged much. He worked 175 hours a 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 dish washer envied the vegetable cutter?

    "Can't we do a better job?"

    Xiao Qi glanced at her, "Do you think I want to chop vegetables? My hands are also used to hold pens in China! But the student visa we hold cannot 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 America you imagined? Once you pass the language school and apply to a good university, you will have a chance to find a good job after graduation.¡±

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

    Now chopping vegetables and washing dishes, and studying hard in language school, isn't it for a better life in the future?

    Xiao Qi is the kind of person who works very hard. He never forgets to memorize English words while chopping vegetables.

    Zhou Yi was shocked when she heard her mention the language school's assessment: 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 language class of the next level, and those who cannot pass the assessment  Still in the original class.

    If she stayed in class 101, if Xia Xiaolan found out, she would die a miserable death.

    Zhou Yi cried anxiously:

    "Can I pass the test?"

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

    If you study casually, you will not be able to reach the level of class 101.

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

    Those who have no foundation will be classified as level 101, and the vast majority of people will get rid of level 101 soon.

    The slightly more difficult ones are above level 105. After reaching level 107, every level will be very difficult. If Xiao Qi can successfully advance to level 109 this time, she can even apply for community colleges with her grades!

    "You will pass the test, don't be ashamed, communicate with others in English more, and say as many words as you can. If you don't have the courage to speak, it's really over!" (Remember this website: www.hlnovel.com
