Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"Yo~ Your thinking now is a bit left-leaning! Don't you usually hang out with those so-called civil rights activists?"

As a white southerner, Carter felt unreal when she heard Jenny's praise of black people.
"When I was playing with Kazim, you secretly told me to avoid contact with them!"

"Can they be the same?! Brown is a doctor! He has knowledge! He has self-restraint! He is with those street gangsters"

"You don't care about Carter, he's a mess playing around. Have you ever seen him suffer?"

After changing her slippers at the door, Anna, who walked to the sofa and sat down, joined the conversation with a smile.

They chatted with each other about their recent lives, which was plain but also a little warm.
Just chatting like this, the topic suddenly turned back to the Brown family next door.
"Carter, Anna, please send this scarf and the lobster to Mrs. Brown! The color of this scarf is too bright, I don't like it. Usually none of you are at home. The faucet seeps or something, It's all because Mrs. Brown asked her husband to come and fix it."

"Call this kind of thing directly to the property management company, or someone from the maintenance company can come and fix it!"

"Isn't Melis at home?!"

Watching Jenny pick out a scarf from the gifts she brought back, she threw a box of Bolongs to herself.Carter and Anna asked in unison.
But the faces of the two
The incongruity on Carter's face suddenly turned into suspicion; while Anna was a little embarrassed.
"You still asked Melis, you don't come back often, do you?"

"I'm working! It's not that I didn't come back on purpose!"

"Where are your eight employees?"

"I"

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel! Take the gift, go there quickly, and remember to come back for dinner later!"

Picking up the silk scarf that Carter brought from the Giant Panda House, Jenny tried to fight
"No one quarrels as soon as they come home, really. Let Anna be busy, she is already a big girl and has her own life! Besides, I'm not too old to move!"

"Aren't you too defensive?!"

"What do you call me protecting my weaknesses? I'm being reasonable. You, wait until you understand in two years, and you're still called a maintenance company. They really don't take money for money! It costs 50 dollars to repair a water pipe and rob a bank, but they don't make money. quick"

Seeing that Jenny was about to start a new round of chatter, Carter hurriedly dragged Bolong out of the house
Similar to most of the rich generation, getting rich too fast is somewhat out of touch with ordinary life.For Carter, fifty dollars to repair a water pipe is a bit expensive!

But even if the water pipes in the whole house are repaired, the cost is completely harmless.To make money, who doesn't want to make life easier for the family?

Even, recalling his subconscious reaction just now, Carter suddenly found that he had unknowingly, unexpectedly, a little bit, the performance in the bloody eight o'clock file: subconsciously wanted to arrange the life trajectory of others according to his own ideas
I'm not bad at heart, but
"Eh? Why are you in a daze?"

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something. Tell me, isn't Melis a day student? Why doesn't she have a boyfriend?"

"She had done accommodation, and she still asked me for the money when she paid the fee. She said yes, she wanted to get in touch with her classmates and live in the school occasionally. It made sense after I thought about it, so I agreed. Who knows, her family is now Not coming back?!"

On the way to the Browns, Anna and Carter walked side by side.

"Forget it, what Jenny just said is right. Slowly, everyone has their own lives. As long as you are all happy, happiness is enough"

Irvine is not a rich area in Los Angeles, and Carter didn't plan to buy too good real estate at the beginning.But even if it is a middle-class community, in the community in front of you, the small villas that can be seen at a glance, and their standard green lawns are enough to make Carter, who was hard to find a house in his previous life, drool with envy!
But after so many years in the United States, Carter's attitude towards the scene in front of him is much more normal.At present, the biggest advantage of the community where this house is located is not in the aesthetics of the community.But the environment!

The neighborhood is close to the University of California, Irvine, where many residents work in the university.Stable jobs and stable tax payments have brought about more police deployment in this area, better maintenance of public facilities, and more comprehensive supporting facilities!
If you simply talk about the appearance or quality of the house, there is often no difference between a middle-class community and a poor community.But the housing values ​​in these two different communities can be very different!
The existence of property tax directly divides Americans into three, six, and nine classes.It is impossible for the middle class to live in a rich area, and it is absolutely impossible for the poor to live in a middle class area
In addition to the influence of the income base, there is also the division of skin color.
People of the same skin color tend to prefer to hug together.Although it is a little unexpected that black people live in middle-income areas, it is still acceptable.But a black family lives in a white middle-class neighborhood
In the process of chatting with Anna, and looking at the environment of the neighborhood in front of him, Carter gradually became interested in the black family.

"Good afternoon! Is Mr. Brown or Mrs. Brown at home?"

It was almost at the end of the community that Carter came to the house where the Brown family lived.After checking that the house number given to him by Jenny was correct, Carter stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it, please? What's the matter?"

The inner door was opened, and a middle-aged black man wearing glasses looked at Carter with some vigilance under the protection of the outer security door.

"Carter Black, the son of Jenny Black. This is my sister, Anna Black. I just came back from out of town. My mother often mentioned you, so I came here to visit!"

Carter raised the gift in his hand and was well versed in American fake smiles.The eight big teeth make a smile so harmless to humans and animals.
But obviously, Da Ya is not as easy to use as the name of an acquaintance!

"It's Mrs. Black's child, hello! Please come in!"

Pushing open the security door, Mr. Brown seemed much more enthusiastic.While turning around and entering the house, he also started calling his wife to go downstairs
wait downstairs? !
Carter, who closed the door smoothly, looked at the two doors in front of him, and the bright sunshine outside.
In the United States, where there is generally no nap habit, who is a decent person in an upstairs bedroom at such a time? !

There is also the double-layer gate design, which is often only seen in some communities with poor security, or some houses far away from the city.For example, Olivia's house had such a double-layer door design before.

And right now, this middle-class community is considered a middle-class community in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, but in Irvine, it can already be regarded as a high-end community!

The house here. Carter remembers it very clearly. The developer has never made such a design!
"Jenny's children are back and come to visit us! Bana, it's all right!"
