water since he went out to pick up his father-in-law.so he took it subconsciously, smiled and said, "Thank you. I happen to be thirsty."as he spoke, he bowed his head and bit the straw and took a big...meanwhile, Chinatown, New York.
because it is lunchtime, Chen Zhaozhong's restaurant business is very good.
it's just him and his buddies who are already busy.
however, while entertaining guests, Chen Zhaozhong has been quietly looking out the door.
because he found that starting from this morning, there would always be a car parked on the opposite side of the road in front of his store.
although the other party has changed four cars and different positions, Chen Zhaozhong can still see that although the locations chosen by the four cars are different, they can all see the front door of his roast goose shop.
it made him feel a little nervous.
he knew that the NYPD must be onto him. Chen Zhaozhong was inevitably nervous when
was targeted by the police.
the man saw that something was wrong with him and hurriedly came forward and asked, "Uncle Zhong, what's the matter with you"
"nothing." Chen Zhaozhong laughed and said, "you go ahead and don't worry about me."
the man nodded gently and said, "if you are tired, go down and have a rest. I can do it alone."
Chen Zhaozhong nodded with relief, but had no intention of leaving.
at this moment, the car across the road suddenly started and left Chinatown.
Chen Zhaozhong thought that the other party would soon switch to another car to take the shift, but unexpectedly, after this car passed, there were no other suspicious vehicles.
this made him breathe a sigh of relief.
but soon his brow frowned again.
he immediately took off his sleeve and apron and said to the man, "Qiang, hang up the suspension of business. After the guests leave, they will just close the door and come downstairs to meet me."
the man did not know why he was suddenly in such a hurry, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "good Uncle Zhong, I know!"
with that, Chen Zhaozhong went to the basement alone. There are two rooms below, which are the bedrooms of him and his buddy Qiang Tsai.
when Chen Zhaozhong returned to his room, the first thing he did was to start packing. He only picked out the things that were most important to him and put them in his suitcase. Besides, he didn't even pack a change of clothes.
half an hour later, Chen Zhaozhong packed a small suitcase.
the man, Qiang Tsai, walked quickly down the stairs and said at the door, "Uncle Zhong, the guests have all left. I have closed the door."
"good." Chen Zhaozhong said, "Qiang, come in."
"good." Qiang Zai opened the door and just entered the bedroom, he found Chen Zhaozhong packing his things, so he was surprised and asked, "Uncle Zhong, where are you going"
Chen Zhaozhong looked at Qiang Tsai and said, "Qiang, I may be going back to Hong Kong Island in the near future. After I leave, this store will be left to you. You have learned almost what I have learned over the years. From now on, you will run this store well, and life should not be too difficult."
Qiang Tsai was surprised and asked, "Uncle Zhong." You. How can you go back to Hong Kong Island The one surnamed Liu will kill you. "
Chen Zhaozhong smiled: "I was an illegal immigrant when I was stranded in the United States illegally. Now that the police have come to me, it probably won't be long before I am repatriated. Even if I don't want to go, it's not up to me."
Qiang Zi blurted out, "Uncle Zhong, you can't just wait to be repatriated!" Why don't you leave New York and hide "
"No." Chen Zhaozhong waved his hand and said calmly, "after hiding for more than 20 years, I am tired of hiding. If I go on hiding like this, I will despise myself."
then he looked at Qiang Tsai and said earnestly, "I've always wanted to go back, but I haven't been able to muster up the courage. When I take this opportunity to go back, I can make a decision for me."

Qiang said nervously, "Uncle Chung!" You can live if you hide! If a man surnamed Liu doesn't want to let you go, you'll be dead if you go back! "
Chen Zhaozhong said with a smile, "even if he wants me dead, he still has to wait for the right time. He can't just kill me at the customs when I'm just repatriated." Besides, I was repatriated to Hong Kong Island, and the customs officers are sure to take me there for a process. I believe that no matter how capable he is, Liu will not dare to go to the customs to attack me. In this way, I can inform my family in advance and ask them to come to the customs to see me. I will admit it as long as I can meet my family and be killed by him even if he goes out. "
speaking of this, Chen Zhaozhong smiled and said, "Qiang, you don't have to persuade me about this. I have my own decision, so you can run this roast goose shop well, and don't worry about me about the rest."
Qiang Tsai choked up with red eyes and said, "Uncle Zhong." I don't want to run a roast goose shop. I just want to be a running boy by your side. "
the relationship between Qiang Zai and Chen Zhaozhong is very deep.
he was originally a Chinese in Southeast Asia, but his parents went to work in Nanyang in the early years, but encountered some local unrest, so they smuggled him to the United States with their young, and planned to take root in the United States.
however, the ship used by snakeheads to transport them hit a reef and sank near the coastline of the United States, and dozens of illegal immigrants drowned more than half of it.
Qiang Zi's parents were buried at sea in that disaster, while the young boy, leaning on a small piece of wood, floated at sea for several hours, and was finally rescued by the Chinese who ran the boat.
in that accident, all the children who survived were young and half-grown children like Qiang Tsai, and it was the parents who gave their children life-saving floating objects so that their children could survive.
and those Chinese boat runners, like Chen Zhaozhong, are not registered as illegal immigrants or illegally stranded in the United States. These household registrations are usually regarded as helping each other and have a small circle of their own.
when several children were rescued back to New York, the Chinese gathered for a meeting.
they feel that these children are in such a miserable situation that if they do not take them in, they will either starve to death in the streets, be repatriated by the US government, or be sent to a welfare home. After consultation, if they can, they will each adopt an orphan.
Qiang Tsai was adopted by Chen Zhaozhong.
he had just turned ten when he was brought back to the roast goose restaurant by Chen Zhaozhong. Now he is 22 years old.
because he had no legal identity, Chen Zhaozhong opened a shop and taught Qiang Tsai to read, and then Qiang Tsai began to help him do what he could in the kitchen.
when he became an adult, he simply became a buddy in a roast goose restaurant.
Qiang Tsai is very grateful to Chen Zhaozhong for his upbringing. He has always treated him like a father, and even made up his mind to stay with Chen Zhaozhong for the rest of his life and help him when he is old.
but unexpectedly, Chen Zhaozhong is now determined to go back to Hong Kong Island to die.
when Chen Zhaozhong saw that his eyes were red and tears were streaming, Chen Zhaozhong smiled and said, "Qiang, I have no children and no daughters. Since you came here, I have been cooking roast geese in the back kitchen these years, and I have never hidden my skills in front of you. I believe you will never leave ten years of my craftsmanship. As long as the police do not find you, you should run this store well and save more money. If you have a chance, go back to Southeast Asia to get back your original identity. Then take a wife and have children and settle down. "
then he looked at Qiang Tsai, smiled and said, "of course, if I'm lucky enough to survive on Hong Kong Island this time, you can come to Hong Kong Island in the future!" have a chat in person. I wonder if you can ask him out for methis... Wang Dongxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Su, to tell you the truth, our chairman has never paid much attention to the af...
