Jimmy lay on the cardboard, thinking back on his experience today, he still felt it was amazing.
He is just a high school graduate. He joined the fire brigade after graduation and has been working for more than 10 years. He is not isolated from society in the fire brigade. He has mobile phones, movies, TV series, and novels, and he can also watch and play during his breaks. He said he would spend more time training and dispatching police. He never thought that he could encounter such a thing as rebirth, which was only found in novels.
I have basically no common sense about the United States. I only know some news and some content from various movies and TV series. But after all, movies are an art of exaggeration, and there is still a big gap between it and real life.
I have always been cautious when dealing with these people since my rebirth. I am slowly getting familiar with the conversation methods, the surrounding environment, and the people at the gathering point. It is really tiring.
As for the next step, we can only make preliminary plans now.
First, save some cash, at least enough to make sure you can return to California. You don’t want to become famous like those time-travelling predecessors in novels, becoming Hollywood stars or celebrities. At least now, more than 20 years after my death, I still understand the progress of social development. You can always find a way to find a way out, but you can't stay homeless for decades.
Secondly, I need to know more about the social situation, and I also need to know about the situation in China. I have not simply changed the location, but now the time has been pushed forward 20 years. I must make sure whether I am still on the original earth. Finally, The simple judgment is to look at the development situation in China. If everything is consistent with your memory, then it is a time travel. Back to the past, you can find a way to return to China. Relying on your memories of the next 20 years, there will definitely be a lot of success. If the opportunities are different, it will be another world, and not much of the previous experience can guarantee that it will be useful. After all, it is different from the original world, and the development of science and technology should also be different.
After resting for a while, Jimmy got up and left the tent. He couldn't wait for Jerry to find a solution for him. He had to first understand the social situation. The quickest solution is to read the newspaper, but it's not easy to find newspapers here. It's better to go to the surrounding residential areas and have a look. Maybe someone didn't take the newspaper home.
Jimmy arranged his clothes, packed his wallet and walked out without a backpack. Before he walked far, he found a stack of newspapers thrown at the door of a house. Jimmy walked over and looked at the house first, and also at the surrounding households. He saw no one moving, so he bent down and picked up the newspaper to read. I looked at the name, "Arkansas Democratic Gazette". The first few pages of the newspaper mainly contained some state news, some government activities, economic conditions in various places, anecdotes, etc. Because I was not familiar with the surrounding environment, I couldn't tell what was going on. What content needs to be focused on, so I just ignore most of the content. I look at the content related to foreign countries later, and then sadly find that in a piece of news involving China, the name of the national leader is completely unfamiliar to me. Although according to the 1999 Years later, I was just a primary school student, but at least I still know the names of several national leaders in recent decades. Since the name is wrong, it can be determined that this is another world.
Folding the newspaper normally and placing it in place, Jimmy turned and returned to his camp tent.
Now that you have determined that this is another world, don't think about going back to China, or designing various products in advance to make money based on the social development before your rebirth. Just follow the previous plan to solve the basic necessities of life, and then think about living and working in peace and contentment. When you know more about the world, see if there is anything you can copy to increase your wealth.
…
"Jimmy, are you in there? Come out quickly." Jerry shouted from outside.
"OK, wait a minute." Jimmy put on his shoes and walked out of the tent.
Jerry was standing outside the tent. Next to him was a fat middle-aged white man. He was 185 centimeters tall, which was basically the same height as himself. His weight was conservatively estimated to be at least 130 kilograms. He looked a little too fat. He was bulging from top to bottom, and he felt a bit like Michelin's little man made of white tires.
"Jimmy, this is Jon, Jon Woolf, the owner of the Wolfhouse, I just happened to meet him around here. Jon, this is the Jimmy I'm talking about, Jimmy Young, a Great guy." Jerry introduced the two men.
"Jimmy, Jerry told me you need a short-term job, right? So what can you do?" Jon Wolf looked at Jimmy.
"Forgot to mention, Wolf House is a restaurant," Jon added.
Jimmy thought for a moment, "I can do anything you need, Mr. Woolf. I have no experience working in a restaurant, but I have cooked some Chinese food before and can help in the kitchen or be a waiter."
"Jimmy, Jerry is my friend. We have known each other for more than 10 years. He said you are a good young man, so I can let you come to my restaurant. Be a waiter first, with six days off, a weekly salary of 350, no tips, but at least It takes more than 3 weeks of work.”
"What about the working hours? Mr. Woolf." Jimmy thought for a moment, "And can we provide accommodation?"
"Don't push yourself too hard, there is no accommodation, young man. 11 am to 3 pm, 5 pm to 9 pm, 8 hours."
"OK."
"Come over tomorrow morning, 5300 Asher Street. 10 o'clock."
"Okay, Mr. Woolf, I'll be there on time tomorrow."
"Jerry, I have other things to do, so I'm leaving first. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." "Goodbye, Mr. Woolf."
…
After seeing Jon off, Jerry waved to Jimmy and walked towards his tent.
"Jerry, wait a minute. Do you know the address of the Wolf House? I'm not familiar with that side of Asher Street."
Jerry went to the tent and took out a map of Little Rock and drew a route for Jimmy. The route was easy to remember. It took a big road to the end and then turned around, and then walked about 2 kilometers, but the distance was a bit far.
"Thank you, Jerry. Let me ask you a question, you know so many people, why don't you go to them to help find a job? Do you like your current wandering life?"
"I'm old and used to this kind of life. Jimmy, you're still young, don't rot here. Try your luck in a big city if you have a chance." Jerry stopped, turned his back to Jimmy, and walked in after saying own tent.
Jimmy watched Jerry return to his tent and then turned back to his own tent. There was some surprise. I thought it would be harder to find a job, but I didn't expect to be so lucky. It seems that I will have good luck after my rebirth.
However, Jerry’s reaction just now is very interesting. He is also a man with a story!
