Chapter 15(1/2)

The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day in the United States.

When Tao Xi returned to Los Angeles County and once again breathed the familiar smell of the sewer in his home, Tao Xi felt a strong sense of security in his heart.

It’s just that the scent of carnations flying everywhere on the streets of Los Angeles made Tao Xi’s neck and face itchy. When she and Marco were repacking their “home”, Tao Xi kept scratching it from time to time!

"Tao Xi, do you think it's okay if we don't go visit Hill?"

"Tao Xi, why do you think that woman wants to sleep with you every time?"

"Tao Xi, you said that woman wants to come to Los Angeles with you, why don't you want to?"

"Tao Xi, why didn't Uncle Kushner send us away?"

"Tao Xi, did you really win the fourth prize of the Lotto lottery?"

"Tao Xi, you..."

Marco, who came back from Compton with Taosi, seemed to be a completely different person. Marco, who had a crutch character, instantly turned into a talkative one.

Ever since the two of them returned to the sewers, Marco has been nagging in Taosi’s ears~

But Tao Xi turned a deaf ear. He first turned on the radio and put it on the old table, waiting for his sound. He lowered his head and tidied the messy bed for the two of them. After all, it had been deserted for nearly a month, and someone had discovered and occupied this place in the sewer.

It's a matter of course. Maybe the two of them will have a fight with the guys who live in their residence at night~

"Okay! Marco, let him go by the past! It was just an accident. Uncle Kushner also explained it to us. Let's just pretend it never happened, okay?" Tao Xi shook the quilt in his hand.

He fiercely "dened" towards Marco and a thick cloud of dust flew everywhere in Tao Xi's "home"~

Marco coughed violently for a long time and complained with red eyes: "This guy must be a bed bug lying on the ground and doing misery!"

Tao Xi glared at Marco who was starting to pick and choose, and without waiting for him to explain, he just grabbed his arm and walked towards Nelson's Hot Dog Shop while explaining to Marco: "Let's go! I

Let me show you our long-term meal tickets!”

"Long-term meal ticket?"

"Yes! But we can't go too far. Each person can only eat one hot dog. It's not a vegetarian hot dog, but the kind with meat!"

When Tao Xi finished saying this, his Adam's apple surged unconsciously, but Tao Xi remained absolutely calm in the face of absolute hunger. Tao Xi specially drained the sewage from the sewer outlet of the US-Australia Paper Factory.

Going around in a circle again~

But this time when Tao Xi came over again, before he could get close, Marco, who was standing behind him, shouted in a low voice as if he had been stepped on: "fxxk! Are those damn guys on the ground draining sewage again?

It’s over! Haven’t they been punished enough?”

"Again? Have they ever discharged sewage into our place before?"

When Marco heard Taosi's words, he yelled in disbelief: "Oh my God! Have you forgotten that at that time, I got pneumonia largely because those damn capitalists secretly discharged sewage into the sewers, which caused me to often

Breathing in this gas gave me pneumonia!"

Tao Xi suddenly understood after hearing Marco's words, but Tao Xi quickly added: "According to normal logic, I should remember it. Why don't I have any impression?"

When Marco heard Tao Xi's words, he immediately became unhappy. Marco muttered dissatisfiedly: "Look, look, you said you didn't know anymore. During that time, you came back with a bruised nose and face every day."

, you slept longer than Hill went out to help us find food!"

Tao Xi blushed when she heard Marco's blatant accusation against her.

In order to cover up his own embarrassment, Tao Xi left Marco far behind, but unfortunately the echo of the sewer can continuously amplify small sounds~

Finally, when Marco said his mouth was dry, Nelson's hot dog shop finally arrived.

"Oh! Oh my God! It turns out to be a newsstand!" Marco's slightly hoarse voice startled Nelson, who was developing a new type of hot dog!

The mustard in Nelson's hand shook violently and squeezed Marco all over, but Tao Xi lay skillfully in Nelson's small newsstand and read the new magazines and newspapers around him~

Nelson lowered his head and saw that it was Tao Xi. He immediately said to Tao Xi with an expression as if he hadn't seen him for a long time: "Nilta told me when she was leaving work today that you might come back to eat hot dogs! Wait for me for a while, you can try it.

My newly developed hot dog~"

"Oh! Did you just ignore all the mustard you sprayed on me?"

"I don't like you very much, you are the one who gives me some advantages. If you didn't follow Tao Xi, I might use my rifle to teach you how to respect your elders!"

Nelson and Marco were like a pair of enemies who started quarreling as soon as they met~

But Tao Xi heard Nelson's words and thought thoughtfully: "Are the streets very uneven recently?"

"Oh! There are a lot of Mexicans recently. If it weren't for the community police in the American-Australian community, I think my newly bought rifle would have started its first journey long ago~"

Tao Xi did not continue talking after hearing this sentence. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to think about a series of things that had happened to him recently~

Although the increase in the number of Mexicans on the street and the conflict between the Bloods and Mexican gangs seem to have nothing to do with each other, he has been reading a lot of newspapers that Jin Xizhen bought for him at the Kushner Farm recently~

You must know that in this era, apart from TV news, the most important channel for obtaining information is newspapers. Tao Xi also selected several keywords from them after heavy screening and comparison!

[Continuous civil wars in South America] [The wave of veterans after the defeat in the Vietnam War broke out] [The unemployment rate soared]

Although Tao Xi's education level is not very high, Tao Xi's mind still couldn't help but think of what Ma Long, a part-time reporter who claimed to be [Nightwalker], said: "I have a hunch that the United States and Australia have recently

Big things are happening in the community!”

After thinking of this sentence, Tao Xi sat up and turned around to ask Marco, who was mocking Nelson: "Where did you put the camera that I bought for $300?"

"Oh my God!"

"I thought you had forgotten about him!"

"That's $300. What are you going to do with such a big guy?"

"Are you planning to take me to Hollywood to film and become a big star?"

Tao Xi pushed Marco away from his face and cursed with a smile: "Just be here! Don't delay me eating hot dogs!"

"This is my newly developed new hot dog nutritious meal! Try it. I plan to appropriately stagger the prices of my hot dogs so that customers who are different every day can have more choices."

With her mouth full, Tao Xi gave Nelson a thumbs up and praised: "Good!"

Because he was too worried about the safety of his family's property, Marco went back to his hometown after eating.

Instead, Tao Xi looked at the various news in the newsstand seriously and immersed himself in it. The sun in the sky made people very comfortable. Tao Xi fell asleep under the sun's rays before he read a few newspapers~

When the noise nearby became louder and louder, Tao Xi was just about to get up when he saw a jacket from the US-Australia Paper Industry overalls covering his body.

Nelson, who was originally standing alone in the newsstand selling hot dogs, once again stood next to a figure~

"Are you up? Nelson is very talented in hot dog research, and his business is very good." Nilta explained to Tao Xi who was yawning helplessly.

Tao Xi sat up, stretched out, and stood up.

I didn't know where I was, but I was shocked when I stopped. There was a long line of people queuing up at the door of the newsstand, all queuing up to buy hot dogs. I don't know when a half box of scattered US dollars was put in the originally empty carton.

Tao Xi's eyes widened when he saw the half box of money, and even his Adam's apple swallowed uncontrollably.

Nilta took off the disposable gloves on his hands and showed off to Tao Xi proudly: "Did you see it? Originally, I didn't suggest Nelson waste money to buy these disposable gloves, but Nelson used his

He insisted on convincing me because these disposable gloves have increased our income by 40 US dollars a day. Recently, he has been imitating KFC to provide set meals! I think he is very talented in this line of work."

Tao Xi also looked at Nelson with admiration and walked out of the newsstand with Nilta.

"I have discussed this store with Nelson. We will set aside some money for you every year. Without you, we would not be here now."

When Nilta said this, it was very different from last time. Although Tao Xi couldn't tell the reason, Tao Xi saw that Nilta took out the cigarette from his pocket this time~

"I don't have to, this is the condition~"

Nilta had no intention of chatting with Tao Xi based on these words. Instead, Nilta kept talking to herself: "You are famous! Tao Xi, now all the gangs know that Bolton has a godson outside.

It was a big hit in the gang war not long ago!”

Tao Xi felt numb when he heard Nilta's words, but it was difficult for Tao Xi to explain.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"The situation in the US-Australia Paper Industry is very bad. This is the second time this year that the US-Australia Paper Industry has negotiated with the trade union to lower workers' wages, and recently it seems that the US-Australia Paper Industry has made a desperate effort to win the order from the Los Angeles Times.

, the general manager has not seen anyone else for several days, and he smells of alcohol when he is seen once or twice, so I think they have no plan for the purification equipment you mentioned, and they seem to have never put this matter aside.

On their itinerary.”

When Tao Xi heard this, he raised his eyebrows habitually~

But Nierta did not end his speech but continued: "Recently, the US-Australia paper industry has hired many workers like me, but most of them are Mexican and Hispanic. There have been several small frictions in the factory."

Tao Xi was not surprised when he heard the word "worker protection". "Worker protection" is actually a kind of illegal work in the United States~

It's just that this type of people has a higher status than Tao Xi, because they may have a one-month or three-month labor visa. In order to fill their stomachs, these people will work while doing a "guaranteed job".

Go work a lot part time.

Because the "security workers" only take care of your food, housing and a small part of your living expenses, you can do other jobs after your work on the assembly line is completed.

"The current union president is a discriminator against ethnic minorities. He will not give everyone the same treatment."

"He will also go astray. Now many security workers are already dissatisfied with the union chairman of the US-Australia Paper Industry. I think if you want to do something, you need to speed up."

Tao Xi nodded in approval when he heard Nilta's words, because no matter from every aspect, Los Angeles County now seems to be in a state of stormy weather!

If he wanted to make a difference, he had to act now.

Before leaving, Nelson very considerately prepared two hot dogs for Tao Xi: "Let your damn brother stop picking on me tomorrow. Although I have to make money, the meat I use is just more fat!"
