Living poor in America

I read an article again in the morning, which was written by a Chengdu native in the United States. Immigrated to the United States in 2009, he calls himself poor. I think he is a pseudo-poor. When you come to the United States, you can run all over the United States without working for a year or two, without worrying about food, drink, lodging, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The poor are the kind of people who don’t have time to sleep, they are so busy looking for a job to make money that they don’t even have time to sleep. Some Chinese people are actually really rich. The article says that the city they live in has been decided, the child has been born, and now they are ready to buy their dream house. Maybe the kids are all in school now. Others have also taken the citizenship test. But this article really makes people think how good America is.

I know that to apply for the kind of white card and food stamps in the United States, you can't save more than a thousand in California. Because when Pig first came to America, his mother made him apply. There will be phone calls every once in a while. Once the account exceeds one thousand dollars, a letter will be sent to ask the reason, the meaning is very simple, "You are not poor, where did the money come from." According to this situation, I want to know the author, his money is deposited where is it? He said he wanted to take the citizenship test, but applied for a white card, again contradicting himself. Applying for a white card has an impact on applying for citizenship.

Before I came to the United States, I had read his similar article, which was later revised. But I can accurately say that he immigrated through his wife's relatives, and there are family and friends here, so his family is not thin. I know that family immigration requires a strong guarantor to pass. I immigrated with my children's relatives, not because my husband and mother-in-law were rich, but because we had another powerful guarantor at the time. Otherwise, we would simply not be on the soil of America right now. So they are poor, I do not believe, I am poorer than him. But there is no benefit either. Applying for US benefits is not that easy. Of course, what he wrote was how many years ago, and now after the epidemic, things are different.

I have never been out of California. Pigs are busy delivering express deliveries every day to make money. The only thing that makes him happy is sitting on the toilet and swiping on Douyin. Once he swipes, he will be in the morning. It takes an hour. Fortunately, this water fee is included in the property fee. Property costs have gone up again, every year. I asked him to take a class to train bus drivers so that he could have a stable job. He said, in that case, you can't go back to your country if you want to. I said, then you still want to go back to China freely, forget it. If both of our mothers are going to stay, it is really settled in the United States. I roared in my heart that he didn't want to live in America for a long time. He still fantasizes about spending half a year in China and half a year in the United States. Is this for us to settle down or to pit our mothers? Hey~ It shows that he also feels that China is suitable for life in his heart. Just make money here. The poor live in poverty, but today is really different. One air ticket will top my salary for a year. Can you still fly?

This time, I couldn't go back, and I lost my job. To be honest, I don't like this kind of food delivery work. I don't like to drive, and I don't speak English well, so I really don't have a good mood to communicate with others. Because I have been working in restaurants for a short time, and I have also been exposed to the snobbery of small Chinese bosses, I always feel that life here is painful. Without money as a pillar of confidence, life is a mess. All kinds of people at the bottom of the United States use money as their goal and various means. Look at the uncivilized behavior of the supermarket. It can clearly distinguish the evil of human nature. I've always liked watching American horror movies, except for the gore, many of them are based on real events. America is certainly more dangerous than China. Don't look at those crooked nuts with smiles all over their faces, many of them are hateful. Laughing at you is instinctive. That's the guy behind the call. As long as the world is not in chaos, the police have nothing to do.

I have seen many crosses on the side of the road to commemorate someone who died, and there are tombstones in many small parks. I think that foreigners operate by gods, and the cemetery park is stupid and unclear. Some commemorative lounge chairs are placed in scenic spots of the city. Not many Americans, but all I see are very young people dying. This upsets me. Just like yesterday, there was a tree in the park where I took my children with small dolls and decorations. Out of curiosity, my daughter and I approached and found a tombstone under the sapling. The deceased was 1983-2004. .Think about this person, younger than me, who died when I just gave birth to my son. There is also a cross on the side of the road not far from home. The deceased was from 2008 to 2021. I moved here from my mother-in-law and actually saw many commemorative crosses on the roadside. Pig said that these people should probably all died accidentally. Like a car accident. I thought to myself, is it necessary to be so obvious that people make up the scene of the tragedy?

There are many reports in the country about the shootings and other incidents in the United States. In fact, I can see a lot of titles here, such as Chinese women poisoning their husbands, Asians being burglarized and so on. The Chinese who have time and money are the most sensitive to this. Sometimes I say lock the door, no one will come to steal here. If a thief wants to steal, wouldn't he look for a mansion? Think about it too. To take such a big risk, it is better to steal from the rich.

In our community, tenants have moved in and some have moved out. So there's always discarded furniture over there, some pretty new. I pick it up from time to time. I like it without spending any money. Hey~ expose the ugliness of my human nature. I thought to myself, Americans are really thinking about it, and they don't need furniture when they buy new ones or move out. I learned later, that unwritten rule that if you want to rent out your house, you need to empty all the furniture in the house. As a result, a lot of furniture will be thrown away. And you can't throw a lot of them at a time. If you throw them in batches, you need to call a company that specializes in large items to collect them, otherwise you will be fined. As a result, furniture will appear on the edge of the trash can from time to time. The person who threw them thought they could be used, so they put them in obvious places. So people in need like me picked it up and took it home. Of course, rich people will find things they like in the second-hand trading group, and some of them are free, but they need to pick them up. Generally, the large ones do not need money, and you need to move them yourself. No matter how rich you are, you can directly transport furniture to China by air. I mentioned this point. People just like Chinese things. But people want to enjoy the view here.

Having said so much, I still haven't found a suitable job on the Internet, because I can't speak English, so I stopped chatting and went to learn English.
