When Uncle Jackson brought the food to him, the young man asked: Sir, do you need me to do anything to eat so much of your food? Uncle Jackson thought, give an exile A good meal is what every kind person would do. So he said: No, I don't have any work for you to do.
The exile's eyes suddenly dimmed, and his huge Adam's apple moved up and down violently and said: Sir, then I can't just eat your food, I can't get it for free without working. These things! Uncle Jackson thought for a while and said: I remember, my family does have some work that needs your help. However, after you have finished your meal, I will give you some work.
No, I will do the work now, and after I finish your work, I will eat these things! The young man stood up and said. Uncle Jackson looked at the young man with great admiration, but he knew that the young man had not eaten for two days and had walked such a long way, but he would not eat these things without giving him some work. of.
Uncle Jackson thought for a moment and said: Young man, are you willing to rub your back for me? After saying that, he squatted in front of the young man. The young man had no choice but to squat down and give Uncle Jackson a gentle pat on the back very carefully and carefully.
After beating for a few minutes, Uncle Jackson stood up very contentedly and said: Okay, young man, you beat it great. My waist was still feeling sleepy just now, but now, it is very comfortable. After Uncle Jackson finished speaking, he handed the food to the young man. The young man immediately wolfed down the food.
Uncle Jackson looked at the young man with a smile and said: Young man, my manor is in great need of manpower now. If you are willing to stay, then I will be very happy.
The young man stayed and soon became a good man in Uncle Jackson's manor. Two years later, Uncle Jackson also betrothed his daughter Margot Jane to him. Uncle Jackson told his daughter: Even though he has nothing now, he is 100% a rich man because he has dignity!
More than 20 years later, that young man indeed had a fortune that was the envy of all Americans. This young man is the American oil tycoon Hamer.
