Lisco's American Life
743. Truck driver
"Let's have something to eat first. We'll talk about anything later. In the United States, everyone is a family, so you're welcome."
Lisko looked at Lao Lu in front of him, stretched out his hand to indicate that he could eat it as he wished, his eyes were full of kindness.
"Thank you, thank you very much. Please forgive me."
Lao Lu couldn't care less about being polite at this time. He was hungry, so he stuffed things into his mouth. This kind of pastry was soft, glutinous and sweet, which made him lose his original politeness while eating.
I picked up the tea cup next to me and drank some water to avoid choking.
"Sko, what's wrong?"
At this time, Li Feng and Zhang Li also came down from upstairs. They looked at Lao Lu in the living room, who looked obviously Chinese, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Hello, cough, cough, cough. My name is Lu Xing. I just came to the United States not long ago. I am a truck driver. My car broke down. I am sorry to trouble you."
Lao Lu looked at the two girls who came down and became aware of each other. He immediately stopped eating and hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth. At the same time, he almost choked and introduced his situation.
"Xiao Lu, it doesn't matter. We are all fellow villagers. We will inevitably encounter some difficulties when we go out. Are you full? I'll make you something hot?"
Li Feng has always been a warm-hearted person. He looked at Lao Lu and asked enthusiastically.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lao Lu no longer looked embarrassed at the beginning. Being able to meet a Chinese person in this situation also gave him great comfort, and he quickly declined.
"Auntie, no, I've eaten something and I'm not hungry anymore. It's already too much trouble. You're making me very embarrassed."
"Oh, we are all fellow villagers. It's okay. By the way, who are you from? I'm from Guangxi."
"Auntie from the Northeast."
"Northeast is great, just wait here and I'll get you a bowl of noodles."
With that said, he ignored Lao Lu's interception and walked directly to the kitchen, ready to open the fire and serve a bowl of noodles.
"Come on, sit down, it's okay, let's have some noodles. By the way, how is your car? How about I ask someone to come over and fix it for you?"
Lisko looked at Lao Lu who was embarrassed to stay where he was, and he also spoke politely.
"No, I can just use my mobile phone. Just call the boss and he will find someone to deal with it. It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Hearing Lao Lu's words, Liske also handed over his mobile phone. The other party pressed a number skillfully, then introduced his situation in a series, and then replied a few words, and then hung up quickly.
Cut off the phone.,
"Solved?"
"right,"
Lao Lu returned the phone to Lisko with a smile. The boss just said that he would arrange for someone to come over and repair it immediately. Driving a truck is like this, and you will always encounter various emergencies.
People like Lao Lu who make phone calls in the middle of the night are what the boss is most afraid of. Sometimes his hands tremble when he answers the phone, for fear of some shocking bad news.
So the first thing he said was that something had happened. When he found out that it was just the car that broke down, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the person was fine, that was the biggest good news. Even the goods didn't matter. The big deal was to pay for the loss. If the person was
If something goes wrong, it can't be solved with a small amount of money.
Li Feng moved very quickly. For a skilled chef, the following noodle thing was the easiest thing to do. She came out with a bowl of hot noodles, and Lao Lu immediately stood up, somewhat
Moved hands took it over.
"Thank you, auntie, it's really troublesome."
It can be seen that Lao Lu is really touched. He even has red eyes. After all, after walking such a long distance and being surrounded by loneliness, and now receiving this kind of treatment, in comparison, it is indeed...
It's very touching.
"It's okay, kid. Come on, eat early. Just sleep here with us and start again early tomorrow morning. The car won't be repaired that quickly. Although making money is important, you should also take good care of yourself."
After Li Feng finished speaking, he took Zhang Li upstairs to sleep. Payne also confirmed that there was no need for him, turned around and left, leaving only the sound of Lao Lu eating noodles and accompanying him in the living room.
Lisko.
"When did you come to America?"
Lisko felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he took two cans of beer, opened them, and asked.
"Hey, thank you. I came here last year. I just passed my driver's license test and have been working for almost two months. I usually run short distances, but this is really my first time doing long distances."
As Lao Lu spoke, he took the beer he handed over and took a sip while sharing his experience.
Looking at the slightly immature young man in front of him, Lisko also smiled happily. When he watched the video of the other party in later generations, Lao Lu was already a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly. How did he look like now?
With little experience, it seems a bit strange.
And according to the timeline, Lao Lu is not married yet. He is still a single man. He has all the characteristics of a young man: hardworking, willing to endure hardships, and daring to work hard.
As for the job of truck driver, this is almost the first choice for Chinese people who come to the United States to work. After all, this industry is the most profitable of all jobs, and it does not require a lot of labor. If you are more diligent and frugal, you can work for about a year.
, you can take root in the United States.
According to the current market situation, a driver's monthly salary is about 20,000 US dollars a month, which is 240,000 US dollars a year. When converted into Chinese dollars, it is about 1.5 million a year. This is almost unimaginable in China.
.
Moreover, labor in the United States is much more expensive than in China. Considering the intensity of work, most Americans are not willing to engage in this industry. They prefer other professions that provide freedom and quick money.
With the development of science and technology, the logistics industry has also begun to flourish. The bosses of many companies prefer to recruit drivers from China. These people are hard-working and hard-working, and are almost unwilling to rest along the way, just to ensure that they deliver goods on time.
Our wages were deducted, and for local workers in the United States, we have to take a break at a fixed time.
It was also because Chinese workers were very popular in this industry, and it was against this background that Lao Lu was brought into this industry by other elders.
Many immigrants of the first generation have successfully settled down in the United States by engaging in the driving industry that others are unwilling to do. The same is true for Lao Lu's later generations. They successfully have their own house and family by relying on their own work.
As well as my wife and children, my life is still very good.
"You guys have worked very hard,"
Listening to Lao Lu sharing his experience with him, he sighed and raised his cup towards the other party, paying tribute to the hard-working and capable Chinese nation.
