Chapter 7: Relief center

The relief center is a dilapidated two-story house with the words "Volunteer Emergency Social Service" written on it, and a long line at the door.
Cheng Hao pulled the black man and lined up behind the team. Then he asked, "How do I get food here?" He knew such a place from Cheng Jinhao's memory, but Cheng Jinhao never took food at the relief center. He didn't know the process.
The black man glanced at Cheng Hao and said, "After entering, fill out a form and you will be able to collect food."
"What are the forms to fill out?" Cheng Hao asked again.
"Social security number, where you live." The black man said, "If you've picked up food here before, it won't be so troublesome."
Cheng Hao: "..."
Cheng Jinhao still had his mind. When he left home, he had a fight with the host family and took away his passport.
But he has no social security number, no proof of paying utility bills, and doesn't have many things.
In the United States, there is no identity card. Generally, passports, driver's licenses, and social security numbers are used to prove their identity. In this era, social security numbers have not begun to spread from children. Many minors do not have this number. also?
Whether it works or not, always try.
Cheng Hao thought so, and looked at the black man again: "Do you know where I can punch? The one that is not regular and can make money."
Cheng Hao has been thinking about how to make money last night, thinking about it, and found that the only thing he can do is punch.
In the regular boxing match, he is temporarily unable to participate. After all, there is no way out. This body has not been trained and it is difficult to win, but he can go to some irregular matches, which is commonly known as black boxing.
As a boxer who has won the lightweight world championship, he knows the experience of many well-known boxers in the world, and some famous boxers of this era have experienced black boxing.
Of course, real boxing is not as dangerous as in some novels, and black boxers are not as powerful as in some novels. In fact, after a regular boxing match, the real strong is generally not fighting Boxing, ran to fight for boxing.
Fighting black punches is dangerous and hard, and there is not much money to make. Where can I participate in regular matches and be admired?
So in general, the strength of black boxers is not as good as regular boxers.
The black boxing venue is basically a place like a bar. In his current situation, he can find a small black boxing place and play a few games. By the way, he will train to restore his combat effectiveness.
Of course, the most important thing is to make money to eat.
The black man snapped: "Are you going to punch?"
"I'm a boxer." Cheng Hao said.
"My gosh! It turns out that you are a boxer! No wonder it is so powerful!" The black man made an exaggerated expression and movement, watching Cheng Hao's eyes completely changed.
If before, he still had a slippery mind in front of Cheng Hao, and was thinking of running away, but now he clearly has no such courage.
"So do you know such a place?" Cheng Hao asked.
"I know!" The human said: "In our community, Old George's bar, people punch every night! But they don't allow me to go in. I have never seen them punch."
"Take me there for a while." Cheng Hao said.
The black man immediately agreed, looking happy, and said, "I've watched boxing on TV. Those people are really amazing ... Can I be a boxer?"
This man is small, has no muscles on his body, and has little courage. He does not have the qualifications to become a boxer, let alone the bad character of others.
Cheng Hao was about to hit him, thought and asked, "How old are you?"
"Fourteen years old!" The human said.
Cheng Hao said: "If you work hard from now on, you may succeed." However, he is a minor and he should not strike him.
The black man was immediately happy.
The relief center has a long queue, and the people in front of it are very slow.
Cheng Hao waited for two hours, but it was not his turn yet, but he learned more from this black man.
The black man was named Chester. He didn't know who his father was and lived with his mother.
His mother was pregnant when she was in high school, and now has eight children in succession. Her low education and non-stop birth have made her unable to find a job, and their family has always relied on minimum living and relief.
As for why he bullied Lin Yuxun ... Cheng Hao knocked sideways to hear some news from him and guessed probably.
In this community, Lin Yuxun is the only yellow person. He has a dumb brother but no parents. It is natural that he has become the bottom of the society and anyone can bully.
The Chester in front of him is actually the target of bullying, but his condition is better than Lin Yuxun. After being bullied by others, he ran to bully Lin Yu to find balance.
In addition, Lin Yuxun's being bullied is also related to his incompatibility with the personality here.
According to Chester, Lin Yuxun is the best performer in the school.
When everyone was not studying, Lin Yuxun's grades were good, and he became alien, not to mention he was introverted and had no friends.
According to Chester, Lin Yuxun looks like "Fu Manzhou", and it looks like a bad guy.
Fu Manzhou is a Chinese villain in Western novels and films. He is insidious and dressed as a Qing official. He is very clever but very evil. He is determined to destroy the world. In the previous century, there were many movies that appeared in him. "Mysterious Doctor Fu Manzhou" and "The Return of Fu Manzhou" made Westerners fear the Chinese for a time.
Chester, they felt that Lin Yuxun, like Fu Manzhou, must be thinking about people all day.
Cheng Hao: "..."
What is this and what! Good grades even get bullied? A little introverted as a villain?
Cheng Hao was unhappy, but Chester also said, "Of course, you are not the same as Fu Manzhou, you are the same as Bruce Lee, you will be Chinese Kung Fu!"
Cheng Hao's hand was a little itchy. As soon as he reached out, he squeezed Chester's ear and twisted it hard: "You better not bully Lin Yuxun in the future. If I see you bully him, I will let you Take a good look at what is called Chinese Kung Fu! "
Chester screamed exaggeratedly, repeatedly guaranteeing that he would not bully Lin Yuxun, and everyone around him saw it but turned a blind eye.
The team finally lined up to himself, Cheng Hao took the lead and saw a cabinet inside. There was a white woman sitting behind the cabinet, and on the wall behind it, there was a line of words-"Sale of relief food!"
Cheng Hao expressed his idea of ​​receiving relief food, but was rejected.
He has no record of living in this community and he is not yet an adult.
Minors can come to receive relief, but at least his family must first register here and become a low-income person.
Cheng Hao didn't even receive a carton of milk, and the person in charge of distributing relief food had begun calling the next person.
The next person is Chester.
Cheng Hao waited for Chester to take himself to the place of punching, stayed there for a while, and then saw Chester suddenly wipe his eyes and started crying: "Oh my gosh, there is no food in my house Now, my brother and sister are going to starve to death ... you know, there are so many children in my family, God ... please save us ... "
He cried so sadly, Cheng Hao couldn't help but sympathize, let alone the person who distributed the food, she obviously knew Chester and comforted: "Don't cry, I will give you some Food ... milk and sandwiches today. "
Probably considering that Chester's family was so crowded, she gave Chester about twenty sandwiches and twenty boxes of milk.
Cheng Hao was a little jealous when Chester came out holding the food.
He is still hungry!
Fortunately, Chester was very upright. After leaving the relief center, he found a clean place to sit down, called Cheng Hao to eat together, and opened a sandwich: "Cheng, do you want to eat? Awesome, This is a rare sausage sandwich! "
He said, took out the thin sausage sandwiched between the sandwiches in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and after eating, he went to get a sandwich, and then took out the sausage from it again.
Cheng Hao was astonished at his eating.
Taking ten sandwiches from him, and a few boxes of milk, Cheng Hao said, "This is a compensation that you bullied Lin Yuxun yesterday."
This man and his friend smashed Lin Yuxun's door. He still has to find a way to repair the door, and of course he has to get some compensation.
Chester didn't mind Cheng Hao taking his food at all, and even said very generously, "Would you like to come back a little more? I have a lot of food!"
"You should take it home." Cheng Hao said, tearing down a sandwich to eat.
He was not small enough to be a sandwich for a meal, and he ate five in one breath.
He could feel that his wound had been recovering. The reason why he hadn't fully recovered in such a long time was entirely because his injuries were too severe.
But he should be fine for two more days.
By the time Cheng Hao finished eating five sandwiches, Chester had eaten all the sausages in his sandwiches, and still took out the sausages with his hands to eat.
Cheng Hao clearly remembers that this man was smashed with mud when he was knocked to the ground, and he had not washed his hands afterwards.
Looking at Cheng Hao's gaze, Chester looked at his hand puzzlingly: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing ... let's go back to school." Cheng Hao said, he told Lin Yuxun before noon that he would pass by, so he must go there and go to the bar where he can punch in the afternoon.
"Yes, I should go to school and don't know if there is meat in school today." Chester took off his shirt and wrapped those sandwiches without sausages, and went forward with Cheng Hao.
By this time, Lin Yuxun had already returned to school.
School is going to have lunch.
In the past, Lin Yuxun would take the plate for food as soon as possible, but today he did not do so, but stayed under the tree at the gate of the school, waiting for Cheng Hao.
He is a Chinese, his parents are the descendants of Chinese laborers who came to the United States to build railways.
They Chinese workers are hard-working and hard-working. If they do not encounter accidents, they can live a decent life with their hard-working hands. However, the United States not only has the Exclusion Act, it is also very unfriendly to the Chinese and it is forbidden for the Chinese Some work.
His parents have been struggling at the bottom. They don't know Chinese and learn English so much, they live by selling labor.
Because of this, his mother left him and his father after he knew a white man who was willing to marry her. At that time he was only five years old.
For many years, he lived with his father. His father was quiet and didn't talk to him very much, but occasionally made him study well.
He had been studying hard, but his father died when he was thirteen.
His father had no relatives. At the age of thirteen, he was finally taken to his mother.
At that time, his mother had divorced the white man and lived in the community with deaf and dumb Danny.
The hard life made his mother drunk and liked to hit people. She even ignored her two children completely. When he first arrived, Danny was always hungry and didn't have a few flesh.
He carefully hid the grain so that his mother would not change it for wine, and took care of Danny attentively. Although he felt that his life was sad, there was always hope.
He is very clever, maybe he has the opportunity to loan to college and become a doctor.
I heard Danny's ears had a chance to heal.
However, his mother died.
When his mother was there, although he was not flattering, at least he was not bullied. After his mother died, some people would always find opportunities to beat him.
Not to mention Danny, this child is just playing at the door of his home, and he may be suddenly run over and kicked. After several times, he did not even dare to let Danny go out.
However, what made him unacceptable was that no one spoke to him.
Danny couldn't speak, and people around him didn't even talk to him, and they were even afraid of him ... He didn't know how to deal with all this, and he felt very pained.
His grades are good, but this is not his advantage, but rather the reason why he was attacked.
People around would always say, "Look at him and study so seriously ... Does he think he is white?"
At the same time, he also found that it was almost impossible for him to go to college.
He couldn't apply for a loan at all.
He also didn't feel that he could keep going-he was always attacked when he was in school, and he didn't even dare to stay in school.
He probably shouldn't expect anything that doesn't belong to him at all.
He felt like he wouldn't be able to carry on. If he didn't die, Danny wouldn't be able to live, he might choose to end his life ...
At this time, someone asked him for help and spoke Chinese.
He sent the man back home, and gave him the food he had hidden.
He didn't ask for anything, he just wanted someone to talk to himself.
Lin Yuxun waited for Cheng Hao at the gate of the school.
The iron door of the rented house was broken, the food was eaten, and he even offended several black people-those people were beaten by Cheng Hao, and he would definitely intensify his troubles in the future.
He was in desperation, but not very uncomfortable ... After all, someone could talk to him now.
Lin Yuxun waited at the school gate for a long time, and Cheng Hao never came.
Lunch time is coming to an end, but Cheng Hao is still missing.
Is he ... gone?
