Chapter 2 Uncle’s Dream ()

"Little bastard, how can I wash this clothes? Can I hand them over? Are you looking for those white dogs to pay for the debt?"

"Can you be sensible? What's wrong with suffering a little loss? It's a blessing to suffer a little loss. If you suffer a little loss, you will be taught a lesson. If you encounter it next time, you will hide quickly, otherwise you will suffer a big loss!"

"I have to work hard for him for a few years. When we have money, we will go to the place with few people to buy a few pieces of land... This land in the United States is cheap! How can we buy hundreds of acres? If we put it in our hometown, we will also be a big landlord! At that time, we will hire white people to work for us and we will no longer have to be bullied by others!"

The hut was already crowded with people and could not see through the light at all.

A group of people stood around the wooden bed with two dirty quilts, silently. Guo Jinzhang stood on one side of the bed, and there was no sound at all. Everyone was looking at the person lying on the bed!

Guo Changyi, Guo Jinzhang's current uncle.

If it weren't for some accident, the two uncles and nephews had lived together in the United States for five years.

Five years ago, Guo Jinzhang's hometown was famine, and his days that were originally pretty good immediately plummeted. Then, due to various reasons such as illness, he was the only one left in the family. Seeing that he was going to follow the footsteps of other relatives, Guo Changyi, who was far away in the United States, sent a letter, and one hundred dollars of remittances were also received. One hundred dollars, which was equivalent to hundreds of taels of silver in the Qing Dynasty. Originally, according to Guo Changyi's intention, he wanted to use this hundred dollars to help his relatives purchase a few acres of land.

, let everyone live a better life. But Guo Jinzhang was only thirteen years old at the time. What could he think of at this age? He only thought that this hundred dollars was a huge sum that many farmers could not earn in their lifetime, and it was more property than the family property of many small landlords in the village... So, the young and excessive Guo Jinzhang resolutely exchanged this hundred dollars for a boat ticket and boarded the ship to the legendary Citiland. The little guy at that time didn't know that this hundred dollars was actually all Guo Changyi's savings in the United States for nearly ten years.

Afterwards, after being forcibly detained on a small island in California for half a month, bullied, and robbed all the "property" he carried with him, Guo Jinzhang was lucky to meet his uncle... It was very lucky. Many people who came from China with him were eventually sent back to China, and some even disappeared inexplicably because they angered the Immigration Bureau! If it weren't for Guo Changyi's time in San Francisco, and Guo Jinzhang asked a literate gentleman in the village to write a letter before leaving, and fortunately sent it to Guo Changyi, whether the two uncles and nephews could meet or not, but if they could not meet, then they had lost everything and could not even say the English letters. It would be hard to say whether Guo Jinzhang could live in the United States.

However, all luck cannot cover up another misfortune: Guo Changyi had already overturned the idea of ​​not returning to China and decided to go back to his hometown to take a look. With the help of his colleagues, he raised the money for a boat ticket, but because of the sudden arrival of Guo Jinzhang, his trip back to China had to be stranded... because a boat ticket could not allow both of them to board the boat.

After that, everything returned to the original "right path"!

There are no people at home, and the Qing Dynasty is now in chaos, and the people are having a hard time in their lives, and they often starve to death... Since that's the case, why are you going back? Guo Changyi made up his original idea again and just live in the United States!

Originally, Guo Changyi was helping people wash clothes in San Francisco, which was the most common job for Chinese people in the United States. However, with the advent of the economic crisis and the then governor of California and the politicians, the rejection of Chinese people in San Francisco and even the entire California became more and more serious. In desperation, some Chinese workers decided to head east, hoping to find better opportunities for life and work there. In this case, Guo Changyi and Guo Jinzhang left San Francisco and arrived in Denver!

Of course, these are the deeds of his ex-girl Guo Jinzhang.

The current Guo Jinzhang, who boasted about CNC machine tools and built nuclear power units, suddenly "came" more than a year ago! That time, when his ex-girl Guo Jinzhang was giving clothes to customers, he unfortunately met a group of white people. When he was being grabbed and played with his braids, he was beaten unconscious because he dared to resist... After that, the current Guo Jinzhang came!

It is commonly known as the soul-style travel.

Guo Jinzhang opened his eyes for the first time in this world. He saw Guo Changyi's face with nervousness and concern... In the past year, the two depended on each other, and Guo Jinzhang also deeply felt the care from Guo Changyi. In the United States, Chinese workers' food is generally a kind of black bread that is so hard that it can be used as a stone, but it is bought at a high price, because white people are not willing to sell food to Chinese workers. The only thing that can be sold to them is this worst thing. In order to allow Guo Jinzhang to recover as soon as possible, Guo Changyi often went out early and came back late all day. While trying hard to take on work, he kowtowed to the white people in the market and suffered humiliation and teasing, just to get some meat and fishy so that Guo Jinzhang can replenish his body...

"What's there to cry? The man, he's bleeding but not crying... Besides, wasn't he just kowtowed and beaten up? When your uncle was building a railway on Mount Nevada, he almost met King Yama several times, but he still survived? Compared to this, what's the point of kowtowing twice?"

Guo Jinzhang remembered the situation again... This sentence was what Guo Changyi said when he heard from his coworkers that Guo Changyi knelt down to the white man for himself, just to ask for a little bit of meat. He couldn't help but burst into tears that had not shed once in nearly twenty years.

"Besides, the only one who is left in the Guo family is our uncle and nephew. If I don't take care of you, who will take care of you?"

"But you can't imitate your uncle. I'm strong and it doesn't matter if you're beaten up a few times. You can't. You have to keep calm in the future and can't fight against those white people when your brain gets hot... This is someone else's territory, we can't fight!"

The words are still in my ears!

But suddenly the person disappeared!

Kneeling in front of the bed, Guo Jinzhang slowly raised his head, Guo Changyi's black and thin face covered with blood was right in front of him, so real and distant... Isn't it just being punched twice? It's nothing! What's nothing?

"What's going on? I want to know what's going on..."

Guo Jinzhang gritted his teeth and tried not to let tears flow out, but no matter how hard he tried, tears still couldn't help but burst out... He always felt that his relationship with Guo Changyi should not be very deep. He even thought about one day when he woke up and all of this disappeared. He still slept in the auto repair shop that was on the verge of bankruptcy, racking his brains for his second profession that was about to fail.

However, now Guo Changyi is really gone suddenly, but he only feels a burst of heart-wrenching pain!

He once thought that if this was not a dream, then when he had money, he would never let Guo Changyi go and buy some land. The local owner went to Alaska to dig gold mines. At that time, he would surprise this uncle who was good to him and live a good life... The United States is anti-China in the western United States, but there is still a state in the east. With money, they can go there to live a wealthy life and start a business. One day, if they provide good assistance to Sun Yat-sen, they will definitely be the position of a veteran of the Tongmenghui, and then... I believe that Guo Changyi would never have dreamed that one day, a Chinese worker who was born in the Qing Dynasty would become an upper class person in the Republic of China.

And it may not be just the upper class in the Republic of China, but maybe they can become the upper class in the United States! Because after all, this is just a country where money is paramount. As long as you have money, the sow can run for president, let alone a human being?

But today, all this has become a bubble!

Guo Changyi suddenly disappeared!

Why would he be gone?

"You guys say..."

The angry roar almost overturned the entire hut. Guo Jinzhang's face turned red, and the blue veins on his neck were bulging, like earthworms... Seeing him like this, everyone around him suddenly felt inexplicably chill!

"Jin Zhang, listen to me..." Hou Nan took two steps forward and wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Guo Jinzhang's red eyes, he could not say it.

"Say? What are you saying? My uncle is dead..."
