Chapter 1861 Going to Wash the Dishes?

Lizhi came back today. Grandma was so happy that she personally cooked some of the dishes she liked when she was a student.

Although she has eaten enough delicacies from the mountains and seas now, while eating the dishes made by her grandma and feeling the familiar taste, Lizhi still has a lot of thoughts and memories in her heart.

The family had been separated for a long time, but after having such a lively meal together at the dinner table, the relationship became as harmonious as before at home.

"Sister, isn't the United States great? Is there gold everywhere? Is there prosperity everywhere?" Li Weidong couldn't help but ask when everyone was sitting in the living room just after dinner.

Hearing this question, everyone looked at Lizhi curiously.

Even Li Yunren and He Lu have never been to the United States, let alone their grandfather and grandmother who have lived in China all their lives.

Their curiosity is there, but it is definitely not as important as the second uncle, second aunt, and third uncle and third aunt.

As for the third cousin, she is just looking at the clothes Sister Lizhi bought for her, lowering her head and smiling stupidly, not knowing what she is thinking.

"The United States is quite developed. There are high-rise buildings everywhere and cars in the streets, but it is not like there is gold everywhere." Lizhi said thoughtfully, "Many Chinese people in the past could only do very heavy work. Physical activities. Such as restaurant work, factory work, etc.”

"Wow, I heard you can make a lot of money washing dishes, right?" Li Weidong asked again.

"I don't know the specifics. I should be able to get 1,500 US dollars a month for washing dishes..." Lizhi said.

"How much RMB is 1,500 US dollars?" The third aunt interrupted and asked.

"If it were on the black market, it could be exchanged for almost 10,000 RMB now." Li Yunren knew about this aspect. The 200,000 RMB was exchanged for US dollars by his client on the black market.

"so much!?"

The whole family was shocked.

"Then, doesn't it mean that after more than a year of washing dishes, you can buy the four houses here?" the second aunt stammered.

"Idiot! Why does it take more than a year?" The second uncle scolded, "Our house has a quota fee. If we don't need it, we can buy four houses and decorate them in one year!"

"Oh my god..."

Li Weidong's face was full of disbelief and longing, "Sister, please take me to the United States to wash dishes. I don't want to work in the shipyard anymore!"

"Puch~"

Li Zhi immediately laughed, smiling so beautifully that even though Li Weidong was thinking about making money, he was also dumbfounded.

He thought to himself, my sister is so beautiful, no wonder she became an international star! !

Li Zhi was laughing, and Li Yunren and He Lu were also laughing.

But the two families at home, the grandparents, the second uncle and the third uncle, did not laugh.

On the contrary, their expressions were very yearning.

Especially the second uncle and second aunt who are only in their 40s, and the third uncle and third aunt who are only in their thirties. They look like this and want to wash the dishes themselves.

"Hey, if my daughter wasn't still young, I would definitely go!" The third uncle couldn't help but said after enduring it for a long time.

"It's not easy to wash dishes. You have to work 12 hours a day!" Lizhi replied with a smile, "Working in a restaurant is actually much better. You can guarantee a monthly basic salary of US$2,000 plus tips."

For 2,000 US dollars, that’s about 13,000.

Several people even swallowed their saliva after hearing this.

"Xiao Zhi..." The second aunt said eagerly, "How about if you have the ability, let Wei Dong go to work in the United States? It doesn't matter if it's a little hard, the important thing is to make money! As long as you come back after ten years of hard work, That’s enough money for a lifetime!”

"Why are you coming back? The United States is so good!" The second uncle had a different idea. "When he is stable, we will go there. We don't know how to do anything else, so why not wash the dishes? The two of us combined 3,000 US dollars a month, 2,000 US dollars for my son, more than 30,000 yuan a month... Oh my god, how can I use so much money!?"

"Second uncle and second aunt, money in the United States is not that easy to make." Seeing both of them talking, Lizhi explained seriously, "For example, a restaurant worker, although he earns 2,000 yuan a month, The income is US$1, but the rent, water, electricity and food expenses are at least US$500 a month. And the medical expenses in the United States are very expensive. It is common to spend one or two thousand US dollars to treat a minor illness.

If you don’t want to spend your savings on medical treatment, Americans all need to buy insurance. You are not an American, you are just a migrant worker, so a month’s commercial insurance is at least US$500. In addition, taxes in the United States are extremely expensive, with a tax of 15% for almost a month. After all this calculation, how much is left in a month? "

The third uncle knew mathematics, so he did the math and said, "That's OK, there's still 700 US dollars left! If you send it back, it'll be 4,500 yuan!"

"Not everyone can be a restaurant worker." Lizhi said, "You must be familiar with English, and you must not be too old... People like Weidong have no English foundation, so they can only go there. Washing the dishes. So it’s just over 1,800 RMB, but if it’s all sent back, can there be any place in the United States that doesn’t cost a little money? Don’t people have any other needs besides eating and sleeping?”

"I think the United States is pretty good..." Li Weidong said still looking forward to it.

Lizhi sounded like something was wrong. Why did she have to send her younger brother to work in the United States when she came back to chat?

Seeing the hot looks in the eyes of Li Weidong, her second uncle, her second aunt, her third uncle and her third aunt, she felt a little embarrassed.

"The United States is not as good as you think." At the critical moment, He Lu came to speak, "Weidong, do you know that almost every household in the United States has a gun?"

"Ah?" Li Weidong was stunned, not knowing what his aunt was talking about.

"The United States has a problem with the proliferation of guns, so there are particularly many shooting incidents." He Lu said, "And the Chinese are a vulnerable group there and can easily be extorted. People like you who don't speak the language can't even go to the police. You know what to say, the most popular thing is to be liked by those people, let alone robbing money, you can do even more extreme things."

"right!"

Grandpa suddenly spoke, "I also watched TV. Everyone in the United States can have a gun, and they are very violent. If someone does something wrong, they will pull out the gun. It is very scary!"

Hearing this, Li Weidong hadn't spoken yet, but his mother over there became anxious.

"Is it so dangerous? Why don't we just...just wait and see?" As a mother, it is important for her son to have a future, but safety is even more important.

"How can it be that exaggerated? I..."

Li Weidong was about to refute it, but Li Yunren said, "Okay, Weidong, your sister just came back. Let's discuss this matter when we are free, okay?"

"Okay...okay."

Seeing her uncle talking, Li Weidong didn't dare to get angry again, for fear of offending her uncle and sister, her American dream would be gone.

Although he sounded very scared, as a 20-year-old young man, he didn't think about the bad places. He only thought about the beautiful scenery in the United States. It was much better than at home.

…

When the fun was over, Lizhi's family of three went back upstairs to rest in their own house.

Li Zhicai just washed up, and Li Yunren called her over.

"Xiaozhi, what do you think about Wei Dong going to the United States?" Li Yunren asked her daughter.

"I don't think he has any basic knowledge of English and doesn't understand anything. I'm afraid it won't be a good idea to work in the United States." Lizhi said truthfully.

"Then... when he goes to the North American branch of the Kirin Group, is there any simple work for him to do?" Li Yunren said hesitantly.

"ah!?"

Lizhi's face immediately turned red, "Dad, what do you mean? How am I qualified to let him choose a job at the North American Branch of Kirin Group?"

"Aren't you familiar with Mr. Yin? He recruited you personally." Li Yunren waved his hand and said, "I'm not saying to let you do difficult things. If, if possible, let your brother go out Wouldn’t it be nice to experience it?”

Dad started talking like this, and Lizhi could only whisper, "I want to recommend him to go there. People need more language communication. What can he do if he is like a mute? When others gossip, wouldn't that be worse? ?"

Li Yunren wanted to say that he should let Li Weidong go to a language school there first, but if he wanted to go to a language school, it would not only cost tuition, but also living expenses, etc., which was not a small sum of money.

Although my family can afford it, it seems a little bad to have Li Weidong bear this for no reason.

The relationship between kindness and hatred has been a truth since ancient times.

"What are you worrying about here?" He Lu was listening and said nothing. Now she pouted unconsciously, "If you want a good job, do you have to go to the United States?"

"If he doesn't go to the United States, should he go to Xiangjiang?" Li Yunren said with bright eyes.

"There's no need to go to Xiangjiang." He Lu looked at Lizhi, "Xiaozhi, I heard that Master Jun is planning to buy land and build a house in Lujiazui, Shanghai?"

"Well, I've seen it on the news, but I haven't asked him about this." Lizhi blushed again, and she further admitted her relationship with Yin Jun.

He Lu would not be so stupid to ask, she just said, "If it is true, then it shouldn't be a big problem to ask Mr. Jun to arrange a good job for him here, right? The salary of Qilin Group is not low. The cost of living in Shanghai is not high, and his job can be both dignified and profitable. This should satisfy Weidong, right?"

"If you put it that way..." Li Yunren nodded involuntarily, "Well, if he can find a job with a salary of three to five hundred yuan, it will really be much better than going abroad, and his family will not have to worry."

Lizhi also felt that He Lu was right.

It will definitely be difficult to send it out. Even though she is a big star, everything in the United States is arranged by the North American Branch of the Kirin Group. She doesn't know anyone at all.

It's relatively simple in Shanghai.

Brother Jun loves himself so much that it shouldn't be difficult for him to arrange a job for his brother-in-law.
