Chapter 7 Community Dinner

He ordered the newspapers of Duqi's family. Du Rulin and Li Yan had no habit of reading newspapers. He ordered three-point newspapers in total, including the California Daily, the Los Angeles Times, and the American Journal of Literature, so Demi said that Duqi was her big client.

In this community, Demi is not the only community newspaper boy. In fact, she has only represented newspaper distribution and ordering services for more than 30 families, and can only earn more than 100 pocket money every month.

The reason why Duqi doesn't do this now is because since junior high school, he can get dozens of dollars in rewards as long as he helps complete a classroom paper. Duqi can get seven or eight such jobs on average every month, and each article only takes less than an hour. Duqi's private high school is all rich students at home, and this price is acceptable to them.

Being a community newspaper boy requires you to travel to many places every morning, get back newspapers and distribute them. This process is also very hard, but the harvest is far less than that of Duqi.

In fact, most of the people who let their children work and earn pocket money are middle-class people in the United States. The traditional wealthy families with real backgrounds will never do this.

In the United States, a truly famous family will not suppress children's spending money. Don't look at David Rockefeller's autobiography saying that when he was ten years old, he only had $1 a week to spend, and he had to keep accounts.

However, what I want to say here is that this is pure pocket money. In short, his food, clothing, housing and transportation are not included. What can entertainment and entertainment in the 1920s be there? Some toys are given by people, and he doesn't need to spend money on his own.

The key is not how much pocket money is, but the key is to keep accounts for spending money. In other words, what parents really need to suppress is that their children spend money aimlessly. If their children can spend money with a concise manner, every little effort will be rewarded. They will not only not object, but also encourage them very much.

Cultivating children's intuitive understanding of the use of capital from an early age, and cultivating their understanding of the efforts, gains and costs from an early age is what a real famous family needs to do.

These things are gradually felt by Du Qi in high school and his classmates in the past two years. The most important thing is that a truly well-founded family has instilled in the way of thinking of his children and rich people since childhood.

In fact, Duqi spent two years in private junior high school and Loyola private high school, and had contacted many children from wealthy families. After comparison, he felt deeper about the rich people's thinking that was rumored online in his previous life. This is not a mystery, but it does exist.

Although I only learned a lot through daily interactions, Duqi gradually understood many corresponding truths through his own analysis. For Duqi, this is an important knowledge that cannot be learned in textbooks, and it also made Duqi's ideas gradually change from the previous life.

Of course, this process is relatively long. After all, unlike ordinary young people, their thinking has taken shape. It is more difficult to change than ordinary young people, and it requires him to make a lot of subjective efforts.

I returned to the room with the newspaper. There was no convenient Internet. Duqi's channel for information was these newspapers. It was also a science to always care about the news and analyze enough business opportunities from it.

In the memory of my previous life, he knew very limited information about the United States in recent years. The only thing he remembered was that there was a chance next year, which was mentioned by an online post he had read before, so more opportunities needed to be discovered by Duqi himself.

In the morning, Duqi brought some of the drafts he took out and mailed them to six publishing houses. In the afternoon, he brought the crispy cakes prepared by Aunt Zhao to attend the party held by his neighbors.

Demi's father works in a film company and works as a lighting technician. He has a good income. This party was because he had just completed a movie task. If he wanted to relax, he invited a few friends from the community to prepare for a barbecue party.

Du Rulin and Li Yan often go out early and come back late. Usually, Du Qi has a lot of contact with his neighbor's family. Du Qi is not very old, but his mind is very mature. In addition, he occasionally helps Demi make up for free, so he has some friendship with his neighbors after a while. So when Du Qi arrives at Demi's house at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Demi's parents are very welcome.

Demi's father is a typical white middle-aged man with dark brown hair and big black-framed glasses. He has a good figure and no beer belly or fat on his body. He looks like a person who pays attention to exercise.

There is a very strange phenomenon in this place in the United States, that is, fat people are generally poor, while people from the white-collar workers and even the rich rarely have fat people, and their figures will maintain a very good figure.

In fact, this principle and reason are very simple. Rich people can have time and enough money to exercise to maintain their figure. They can hire a special nutritionist to match their diet. Of course, the poor don’t have these conditions.

Moreover, rich people can buy expensive organic food to eat, while poor people can only eat cheap inorganic or junk food, and of course they cannot be compared with rich people or even white-collar workers.

Most American people dress in daily life, which is very casual and casual, and even some rich people will dress in this way.

So Americans are always laughed at by many Europeans, saying that Americans dress like country bumpkins.

Americans don’t take this seriously, and they do whatever they feel comfortable. As a beacon country, Americans have always been self-centered and do not look down on the poor nobles in Europe. After all, after World War II, most of the economies of these European countries needed to rely on the assistance of the United States. The people have a natural sense of superiority, so they naturally don’t care about the gossip of the Europeans.

Of course, when going to work or attending important meals and parties, Americans still wear formal clothes, and they are basically alternative.

Demi's father is named Nat Harlen, Duches usually calls him Mr. Nat, and Demi's mother is named Anna. Demi is not the only child in the family. He also has an older brother Jack, who is already in college.

As soon as he saw Duqi, Nat was not polite and started to call Duqi: "Come here, come and help me carry this barbecue oven there."

Duches is not unfamiliar with American directness. After all, he has been reborn in the United States for more than ten years. Now he and Nath moved the barbecue to the garden and put it in.

The Nat's yard is larger than the Duches's family, and the house is about the same size. The key is that there is a large garden in the backyard. This barbecue dinner is held in the garden in the backyard.

After putting down the barbecue, Nat didn't have to work on the rest of the work. In fact, from noon to now, Nat had already prepared almost all the time, so Nat started chatting with Duches casually.

Because Duqi usually likes to read books in the school library, due to the rich collection of books in the school library, and Duqi's memory is very perverted, he will basically never forget it after reading it. It can definitely be said that he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he can always find some suitable topics.

After a while, Demi shouted, "Dad, what are you talking about with Qi? You are ready. You can go and barbecue and chat."

Nath looked at Duchi: "Come on, let's go there and have a meal and chat."

In addition to Duches and Nath's family, there were also several nearby families. They arrived late and brought various food and beer around six o'clock.

The next thing is simple. Everyone eats barbecue and drinks beer. Five or six middle-aged men gather together to become arrogant. The other wives gather together to chat about gossip. For example, who is a wife in the community has a fucking fuck, and whose husband has a mistress outside. In short, housewives who are mainly white communities talk about basically these gossip rumors and scandals, and even gossip from some Hollywood celebrities. They are happy with these gossips and news.
