Chapter 2 Aunt Rong (Modified)

After stuffing the hot stack of Franklin into the bedside table again, Sun Cheng picked up the clothes that he threw on the ground and put on the absurdity last night.

Troubles did not affect him opening the window to ventilate the house, nor did he take care of him to wash up, and prepare a simple breakfast for himself.

Sun Cheng's residence in this life is located in Tangbu, downtown, the southern tip of Manhattan, Big Apple City.

Tangbu is the name of some Chinese elderly people. Nowadays, young people and foreigners prefer to call it Chinatown.

Although that's what it means, not all those living in Tangbu are Chinese immigrants.

After World War II, the Big Apple City Tangbu moved many immigrants from South Asia, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, perhaps because of the general warm and friendly relationship between Chinese immigrants. In recent years, many immigrants from Southeast Europe and Latin America have chosen to rent a house and live in Tangbu in order to enjoy the richness and diversity of Big Apple City.

However, there is no place with complete light in the world, and there is a dark side in Tangbu.

People trafficking, theft, and fraud occur frequently in Tangbu.

Here we need to be especially careful about Indian and South Korean immigrants. In recent years, tourists who travel to Tangbu have been stolen from their wallets, mostly because they have been viciously dealt with young Indian thieves wandering on the streets.

As for South Korean immigrants, they prefer to engage in fake goods and fraud.

Sun Cheng knew that there were several antiques and second-hand stores opened by South Korean immigrants disguised as Chinese in Tangbu. Once many tourists who came to visit the store, they would basically be deceived to buy a lot of fakes at a high price, which greatly ruined the reputation of Chinatown.

Of course, not all Chinese immigrants are good things.

At least on the third day after traveling to this world, Sun Cheng’s bookstore was forced to collect protection fees in the name of security premiums by Hongrentang, a community composed of Chinese immigrants in Chinatown.

Afterwards, he inquired about it nearby and found out that Hongrentang is not a good thing. They not only get involved in gambling, but also get involved in poison and engage in population transactions.

Sun Cheng's residence is located on Jackson Avenue.

This is an old apartment building with a house of more than 40 years. Because the residents are mainly Chinese, it has a very delicate name - [Rice Field Apartment].

There are six floors in the upper and lower parts of the apartment, and five apartments are on each floor.

Each apartment is not big, only more than 80 square meters. It is really not eye-catching in the Big Apple City, where luxury houses are everywhere.

However, it was Sun Cheng's cheap parents in this life and the most precious wealth left to him.

After his parents were shot to death, in order to inherit this inconspicuous house, my predecessor even had to sell a hand-written version of the Qing Jiaqing period [Yuwei Caotang Notes] collected by my predecessor to a Chinese rich man in Tangbu, the Big Apple City, to pay enough of the high inheritance tax.

The Big Apple City is the economic center of the United States. Although the housing prices in Tangbu are not as high as Manhattan, as long as Sun Cheng is willing to sell it, not to mention a million dollars, at least seven or eight hundred thousand dollars can still be sold.

The big apple city is very large, covering more than forty streets horizontally and vertically.

The location of Sun Cheng's [Rice Field Apartment] is pretty good. Although it is not on the most prosperous streets in Tangbu, it is only more than 100 meters away from both of them.

After using breakfast, he sorted out the following again and was about to go out.

As soon as he locked the door and came to the elevator, he pressed it. After a while, the elevator came, and when the door opened, his face was filled with smiles.

"Aunt Rong, I bought so many dishes, it seems that Laura has a good time today!"

After the elevator door opened, a middle-aged woman who looked at her forties and dressed very fashionable appeared.

Her name is Chen Rong, and she is also one of the residents of [Rice Field Apartment].

Young people nearby like to call her Aunt Rong. It is said that her ex-husband is an Australian, but the couple divorced twenty years ago, so most people in the apartment have never seen Aunt Rong's ex-husband.

I have never seen the unlucky guy who was taken over by Sun Cheng before, but my former family had a good relationship with this Chinese family from Hong Kong.

After his parents were killed by a black man who was robbed with a gun four years ago, many people here have extended help to their former family.

However, judging from the memories of his predecessor, the one who cares most about him was Aunt Rong who almost watched him grow up. Not only did she often patiently enlighten him and help him with housework, she also often invited him to her home for dinner. She was an elder whom she respected very much.

Aunt Rong smiled and waved her hand, "You are just sweet-mouthed! Come back early in the evening, come to our house for dinner. Xiaoying should be able to get off work early today!"

Laura and Xiaoying both mentioned the same person, and are Aunt Rong's daughter, Chen Ying.

Many Chinese immigrants living in the United States have two names, such as "Sun Cheng" is his Chinese name in this life, and can be used casually in Tangbu.

However, in terms of household registration and certificate, Sun Cheng's name in this life is "Hunt Sun".

Aunt Rong's daughter Chen Ying is like him. Chen Ying is her Chinese name. Her ID name is "Laura Chen". She is currently serving as a sheriff in the Big Apple Police Department.

When Sun Cheng heard Aunt Rong’s invitation, he was really moved for a moment.

Aunt Rong cooks good dishes, which are more authentic than many so-called Xia Guo cuisine chefs in Tangbu.

Her grandfather was once the imperial chef of the palace. Not only did he use Shandong cuisine to fight against the world, but he was also a masterpiece.

I heard that the bald man who successfully went to Taiwan to Taiwan was invited to Nandu for a high salary for more than ten years. Her father also practiced it at that time and learned more Huaiyang cuisine.

With such a family background, Aunt Rong has heard of it since she was a child and has also developed a good cooking skill.

Moreover, Sun Cheng is so naughty. Since he met Chen Ying the next day of time travel, he has not only become greedy for other people's daughter, but even has the name of the child.

Chen Ying is 28 years old this year. Although she is three years older than Sun Cheng, there is an old saying that a female junior holds a gold brick!

Mixed-race children are born with great advantages in appearance and figure.

Chen Ying's facial features are more beautiful in lines than Asian women, and her skin is more delicate and fair than European and American women, and her height is more than 1.7 meters tall. Even in the United States, she is still a model class.

But she is a workaholic, otherwise even if Chen Ying graduated from the criminal investigation major, she also studied criminal psychology and obtained a double master's degree.

But in the United States where racial discrimination is serious, a Chinese and a woman is just a dream to be promoted to the sheriff in the sixth year after joining the Big Apple Police Department.

If he really could catch up with Chen Ying, it would be a beautiful thing for Sun Cheng.

Compared to his current killer girlfriend who should be described as a friend, Chen Ying undoubtedly fits his aesthetic more in line with his aesthetic.

Moreover, Sun Cheng's starting point is higher than that of other potential competitors, because the aunt Rong in front of him seemed to have seen his little thoughts. She has been very explicitly matching up since half a month ago, creating various opportunities for him.

"Although I really want to go there, Aunt Rong, I should spend the night in the bookstore tonight, so I can't go there."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Sun Cheng finally shook his head and refused with a wry smile, "The rent in the bookstore is about to expire, and the business is not very good. I am not going to renew the rent. I plan to pack all the books in advance so that it can be handed over after a while."

This is naturally not an excuse. His bookstore is located in Dumalan Road, with only one floor, covering an area of ​​about 170 square meters, and mainly engages in the acquisition and sale of second-hand books.

Dumalan Road is the most inconspicuous of more than 40 streets in Chinatown. The rent is relatively cheap, but it is still expensive.

Judging from the memories of his predecessors, after Sun Cheng's parents passed away in this life, the bookstore that his family had run for more than ten years was almost deteriorating.

His prospective female friend Catalya obviously knew this, so although he only sneaked to him to spend the night twice a month, he would leave five thousand swords for his predecessor before leaving each time.

Aunt Rong looked at Sun Cheng with some distress and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, whenever you want to eat something good, come to our house!"

"Okay, Aunt Rong! You go up first, I'll take the stairs."

Sun Cheng’s apartment is located on the third floor. I just saw an elevator coming up and I just took a little casual look.

Aunt Rong's house is located on the top floor. When it comes down, it is enough to walk to the first floor.

Sun Cheng simply stepped back, told her another story, and walked straight to the stairs not far away.
