Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

December 12, at 25 o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, Zhang Chongxin casually called his second son-in-law, Steven, and wanted to ask him if he wanted to go to work in the antique shop, after all, today is Christmas.

Steven apologized slightly: "Dad, I was just about to tell you that I have something to do today, so I won't go to the store."

"Well, there must be very few guests during the holidays today, so I won't go. Your whole family will come to my place in the evening, and I will call your eldest sister and Jiaqi back, so that everyone can have a good Christmas together."

Speaking of which, most of Si Hai Ji Zang's customers are immigrants from overseas, and it will definitely be Christmas today, so the business in the store can be imagined.

"Dad, I'm afraid we won't have time to come over tonight."

Steven stammered.

Zhang Chongxin was a little surprised immediately: "What's going on? Does Jiayi have to work overtime again? It's fine if you don't ask for leave, can't you even go off work normally?"

"Dad, it's none of Jiayi's business." Steven paused, and quickly explained: "I'm going to take part in a walk in the city later, and the townsman association will call me. It's not appropriate not to go. I'm afraid I won't have time all day today. .”

"A walk? What do you want to do?"

Steven spoke earnestly.

"Don't say that, you have done enough. At least you have helped recommend a lot of job opportunities. This is related to the livelihood of hundreds of families."

"Grandma, it's freezing outside, you'd better stay at home obediently, I'll go if I want to go, I've learned a lot of moves from my uncle, so self-protection is fine." Kevin persuaded.

Steven smiled wryly.

Steven couldn't help being taken aback: "Why?"

Steven didn't try to be brave, and walked over quickly.

His jacket has a built-in heating function, and a battery can last for more than a week.

The crowd joined hands and chanted neat slogans.

Steven shook his head: "It's not that easy, but it's not without any effect. The higher-ups promised to hold a symposium for two days, and everyone will sit down and talk together."

"Dad, I see. Don't worry, I won't risk my life."

Zhang Hao picked up the mobile phone next to the bed on the spot and called Captain Fang.

It was Chairman William of the Hometown Association who spoke.

"Is it only [-]%?"

"Then what should we do? With those food stamps, many families probably won't be able to survive this winter."

Seeing her husband shivering from the cold, Zhang Jiayi quickly took out a thick blanket and put it on her body without saying a word.

A few people walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the public square, and everyone took out the bedding they had prepared in advance and began to meditate.

"Dad, I also heard from my classmates that the whole day today, near the public square, the above also intercepted a lot of menacing walking teams.

Zhang Chongxin hurriedly asked.

Steven casually took out a battery from his pocket: "Do you think the battery is still charged? If it weren't for the fire trucks dispatched above, it was sprayed with snowflakes, in fact, it wouldn't be frozen at all."

At ten o'clock in the morning, hordes of walking crowds began to appear on several main roads in the urban area, mainly Westerners, and there were also a small number of locals.

"Don't tell you to go, it's really worrying to see yourself frozen like a fool."

"What walk?"

Chairman William envied.

Steven took the ginger soup and drank it down.

Lisa immediately changed her mind when she heard the words: "Steven, Kevin is right, don't go next time, if you can't, I will go instead. I am an old woman, and they dare not do it."

Zhang Jiayi couldn't help complaining.

"It's hard to say, many walks are very gentle at the beginning, but in the end there are big fights. After all, when there are too many people, anything can happen."

Chairman William said indignantly.

"Kevin, the three of you don't go out of school during this time, it's not something you can get involved in."

Zhang Chongxin immediately worried.

"Hey, if we use a Daxia saying to describe our current situation, it would be that people leave their hometowns and are humble. Who made us have no cards in our hands?"

Although their family has some savings, they also cannot afford a house and can only rent a house.

"There is a walk in the city today, do you know?" Zhang Chongxin asked.

Steven immediately promised.

Steven quickly found a reason to shirk.

Although he no longer had much hope, Steven couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this number.

"Buy a house? According to Huicheng's housing prices, most people will never be able to afford a house in their lifetime. I think it's more practical to wait for public rental housing." Steven shook his head.

Kevin took the opportunity to interject: "Dad, if there is another similar action next time, you'd better not go."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Steven finally returned home.

"What's the difference?"

……

Seeing that the other party was determined, President William could only shake his head in disappointment.

"Let me tell you, don't act foolishly. Your family is not short of food. Why are you messing around? The current environment is not good, everyone is very angry, and accidents are easy to happen." Zhang Chongxin said earnestly.

Steven shook his head: "I'm not a big shot, that's all I can do."

Sterling's new car factory recruited thousands of people at the resettlement site in one go, and it was a sensation. It is said that another two to 3000 people will be recruited in the future, which gave many people hope.

Steven frowned.

"Pearl City has newly relocated various federal agencies, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of official employees. These people also cannot afford housing and need a large amount of public rental housing."

Steven suddenly said bitterly: "Dad, you can't go, unless you don't hang out in the circle in the future."

Steven suddenly realized: "So it turns out that no matter where you are, you always get the moon first, and the government never treats your own people badly."

As for his side, in fact, most of them are helped by his wife. There are not many employees in Si Hai Ji Zang, and they can't provide many jobs.

"Isn't it possible to authenticate now?"

President William couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"For this walk, the Association has already set the tone. In principle, it is peaceful and non-violent, and the focus is on expressing demands. It is of course good to be successful, and it is not forced if it is not successful."

Lisa immediately brought out a bowl of ginger soup that had been boiled long ago: "Steven, quickly drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold."

Zhang Hao rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "Why don't I ask Captain Fang to go with my second brother-in-law. Even if we are really in danger, it shouldn't be a problem to get out of here."

"Thank you, wife." Steven smiled.

"I'm telling the truth. Compared with Sterling and the others, it's far behind."

Steven shook his head without hesitation: "President William, don't embarrass my brother-in-law, he really hates appearing in public."

"If that's the case, I won't say anything. Just now I called him personally, hoping that he could help forward the Twitter of our fellow countrymen's association, but he was rejected on the spot, without any sympathy."

Kevin immediately walked to the fireplace and poked the charcoal with the tongs: "Dad, come here and enjoy the fire."

"He's a big shot, so it's probably inconvenient to express his opinion."

"I read the news a few days ago, didn't it say that the Zhucheng side is already under construction?"

Chairman William replied with a sullen face.

"Dad, things are not that simple. If I am really excluded from the circle, the business in our antique shop will definitely be greatly affected."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Not long after we arrived at the Public Square in the morning, the higher-ups took the initiative to send someone over to negotiate. Although the other party's posture is very low and the words are nice, it can be seen that there is almost no possibility of any concession."

Lisa's face was full of concern.

Steven took Captain Fang and walked at the front of the team. They were surrounded by several leaders of the fellow countrymen's association, who were also the initiators of this operation.

"Hmph, you warm up the fire for a while, I'll help you boil a pot of hot water, and take a good hot bath later."

Seeing her daughter-in-law leave, Lisa immediately asked: "I heard from your mother-in-law that there was a conflict between you today, are you all okay?"

Lisa did not want to see her compatriots suffer.

"Everyone is a federal citizen, so naturally they should also enjoy the same citizenship rights, especially since there is not enough food right now, so they should get the same food stamps."

"Zhucheng is the capital, which is different from Huicheng."

Chairman William sighed deeply, and then suddenly changed the subject: "Steven, I know that Dong Dong of Southeast Fishery is your brother-in-law, can you ask him to help forward the tweet?"

"Then what about your second brother-in-law?"

Zhang Hao reached out and rubbed his eyes.

Zhang Chongxin first gave a brief introduction, and then asked: "Do you think there is any danger?"

It's a pity that it's the coldest climate of the year right now, with the average temperature as low as minus 37 or [-] degrees, and few pedestrians can be seen on the street.

"What? Cough, President William, you don't know something. My brother-in-law has always kept a low profile. Although he has a Twitter account, it is a private account and has not been officially authenticated."

"We have studied it specifically, and there should be a [-]% chance." President William replied softly.

"Steven, your family is lucky. You have a powerful relative, and all your troubles are gone."

"Isn't it? You can just find an excuse, can they still come to verify in person?"

"If that's the case, then you're definitely out of luck."

"It's a pity!"

"That's good, did the higher-ups agree to your request?" Lisa asked again.

Chairman William waved his hand: "It's not that I poured cold water on it. This road is not so easy to walk. Unless everyone can afford a house, they will be inferior after all."

As the saying goes, it's none of your business, hang on high!

Steven took the opportunity to change the subject: "President William, are we sure that we will make concessions from the higher-ups during this walk?"

……

"Fortunately, it's just some small physical conflicts. It's not in the way, and no one was seriously injured."

For Sterling, Steven still admires the majority.

Zhang Chongxin didn't take it seriously.

"Mom, don't worry, the higher-ups should think of a way. It's not that there is no grain in the grain depot. There must be a way for people to survive, right? It's really pushing people to a hurry, and everything can be done."

Kevin explained in detail.

Steven wondered.

"The public rental housing is still gone!"

"Why don't you go?" Steven said angrily.

Zhang Chongxin frowned subconsciously.

"Hey, I've lived most of my life, and I've gone through a lot of walks, and there are only a handful of them that can be successful in the end, and most of the time it just doesn't matter."

Chairman William suddenly looked complicated: "Although Sterling has made great contributions, he rejected our invitation. What's more, not only did he not come, but he also prohibited his employees from participating."

Steven tried to persuade.

"If you don't mess around, don't mess around, who is afraid of whom?"

"Steven, I didn't expect you to come."

"Can it be done?"

"Ahem, William, take a closer look. Sterling's identity is sensitive now. He probably has his own difficulties. We should be more considerate of him."

Steven speculated.

"If you dare to act recklessly, I will ask your mother to restrain you." Lisa grabbed the eldest grandson's ear, "You young people tend to be hot-blooded, but you don't know the severity of your actions. Don't go out and cause trouble."

Zhang Jiayi has always had a sharp mouth and a tofu heart.

In less than half an hour, several ambulances came from the side of the square. The low temperature of minus [-] to [-] degrees, coupled with the howling north wind, was not something ordinary people could bear.

Contrary to you, they played the banner of opposing refugees. If the two of you really meet, it will definitely be a match between dry wood and fierce fire, and no one will be able to please. "

"President William, there is no need for us to be so disappointed. We only need another two and a half years to fully integrate into this city." Steven quickly comforted.

President William said meaningfully.

"How do you know there's no danger?"

Zhang Chongxin nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you mom!"

"Dad, the antique shop has managed to gain a reputation among the immigrant community. We can't lose the big because of small things. Don't worry, this walk will not be dangerous, otherwise Jiayi would not agree to my going."

Zhang Chongxin said categorically.

What Chairman William needs is a statement from a celebrity, rather than relying on the power of fans to expand his influence. After all, the opponent's fans are all from the East, which will only have a counterproductive effect.

This is also a local tradition.

There was an instant heat in my stomach.

"So low?"

After all, Sterling was once the richest man in the Federation, and his influence is too great. In addition, the automobile business has just started, so it is not surprising to want to be on the safe side.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chongxin became more and more confused, and went upstairs to wake up his son.

"Okay, let's talk in detail when we have time." Zhang Chongxin paused, and then said: "Since you want to go, then go! But pay attention to safety, and if something goes wrong, you must leave in time. Think about your mother, Jiayi, and Kevin and the others."

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Well, this method is not bad."

Steven followed Education Road.

Seriously speaking, this matter has little to do with their family, and it would be a real fool if it ruined the children's future.

Emma smiled and nodded: "Grandma, Dad, don't worry, our school is closed today, and no one is allowed to go out, unless the parents come to pick them up in person, the school will let them go."

"It's right to do this. You are still students, and your main task is to study hard. You should not worry about other things." Steven breathed a sigh of relief.
