Chapter 918: All Beings
Wu Zhongyuan was clear-eyed, he heard clearly what the people in the house said, he originally just wanted to scoop some water for the chickens to drink, but he neglected to forget to pick up the water scoop to be seen by them, and heard the conversation in the house, so he hurriedly poured the water in the water scoop into the sink of the chicken coop, and then blew a whirlwind, and took the opportunity to throw down the water scoop.
The people in the house didn't look carefully, but only the little girl saw that the scoop was blown by the wind, and she shouted vigorously that she had indeed seen the water scoop pouring water into the sink.
In the end, I don't know if the people in the house came out to see Wu Zhongyuan, because he left first, through the wall, and returned to the streets of the village to continue wandering.
Walked not far, and found a mule, the rope tied to the mule was wrapped around the stake, although there was still a lot of water in the trough, but the mule could not reach, seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan went over to help the mule to bypass the rope wrapped around the stake, he couldn't see others abusing livestock, whether it was intentional or unintentional, livestock, poultry, it was their fate to be slaughtered and eat meat, but they belonged to the absolute weak, even if they couldn't escape their fate, try not to abuse them when they were alive, after all, they have no room to resist.
It is very common for people to gamble on the New Year's holidays in the countryside, Wu Zhongyuan can clearly perceive where there are many people, follow it, a room of people, playing a card game called tractor, not big, but it should be enough to detain, because gambling more than 1,000 yuan is enough to detain.
The essence of gambling is a fluke psychology, trying to get something for nothing, simply losing some money is good to say, the most terrible thing is that it will make people lose their down-to-earth, hard-working motivation to get rich, sometimes a handful can win thousands of yuan, can work hard in the factory for a month, which will make people feel that hard work is meaningless, it is easy for people to develop the habit of good and bad work.
Look at people playing cards can also see a lot of truth, is not to say that there is no reason but have to be far-fetched to the truth, take this card game as an example, divided into two betting methods, Ming is to know what cards you have at home, have the bottom in your heart, and then bet. Black just doesn't know what card he is, he has no bottom in his heart, and he bets with his head bored. The black bet is one yuan, and the bright one has to bet double, because the former is more risky, while the latter is less risky, and if you want to get the same return, the less risky side has to invest more.
Wu Zhongyuan stayed in the house for more than an hour, and after observation, he came to the conclusion that the more he was bored and placed a black bet, the worse he would lose, what does this mean? This shows that it is very stupid to take risks and to be small and broad, and we must not pin our fate on luck and stay away from financial management and investment with gambling and speculation.
There are also a lot of people next door to playing cards, but this group of people is not playing cards, but smoking and drinking tea, not the kind of small teacup, but a large enamel jar, drinking not good tea, this is a group of migrant workers, is getting together to discuss which construction site to work in the coming year.
Because many people smoked, and the door was closed, and the room was full of smoke and miasma, Wu Zhongyuan didn't want to stay longer, but after thinking about it, he stayed and listened quietly.
At first, I felt bored, but the more I listened to Wu Zhongyuan, the more frightened I became, because the income of migrant workers was far beyond his imagination, in his impression that migrant workers were all vulnerable groups, poor people who were owed wages, and their wages were very low, but after listening to the conversation of these people, I found that the wages of migrant workers were not low, they were roughly divided into small workers, large workers and skilled workers, the wages of small workers were one hundred and six a day, and the big workers that were bricklayers could get two hundred and six, and the steel workers and scaffolding workers were more than three hundred a day.
What is this concept? In total, small workers can get about 5,000 a month, and big workers can get more than 7,000 or 8,000 yuan, or even more than 10,000 yuan; in fact, such a wage standard has far exceeded that of office workers in the city, and those office workers who think they are city people are really not qualified to look down on others.
However, the pay and the get are always equal, these people without exception have thick calluses on their hands, the bones of the hands and feet are deformed to varying degrees, and the condition of the internal organs is not very good, especially the lungs and liver, the blackening of the lungs is of course related to their smoking, but the root cause is that they work in a bad environment, you must know that whether it is cement or white ash dust is toxic.
Liver problems are mainly because they don't eat well, most of the food sold in the city has pesticide and hormone residues, long-term eating of this kind of food must damage the liver, and the quality of drinking water is not good, tap water is water after disinfection with chlorine dioxide, and chlorine itself is also toxic, really think that boiled tap water is the best drinking water? If so, who will spend money to buy mineral water.
In addition, their poor health cannot be blamed entirely on the working environment and food and drink, and their own lifestyle habits are also largely due to a large part of the reason, most of these people drink alcohol for a long time, and most of them drink cheap blended liquor, which is more damaging to the liver.
It didn't take long for two more people to come in from outside, they were also two middle-aged men, after entering the door, they took out cigarettes and distributed them, and then chatted with everyone, these two people had no calluses on their hands, and their complexion was better than these people in the house.
After listening to a few words, I realized that these two people were bathers in the bath, and they both took more than 100,000 yuan home this year. This conversion is also seven or eight thousand a month, which is far higher than the petty bourgeois clerk who sits in the office and drinks Starbucks.
However, all of their money is made by fighting hard, and modern young people generally lack the spirit of hardship, and always hope to get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.
A group of men get together, and the topic of chatting will definitely eventually be on women, when they go out, they will go out for half a year or even a year, there are always people who can't hold back, and everyone is talking about who and who did what was arrested, and was fined 5,000 yuan, and they are all regretting that he has to work for nothing for a month.
Everyone is distressed about money, but Wu Zhongyuan knows that the three generations of this person's children and grandchildren are finished, now is the era of big data, once you have been punished by public security or criminal punishment, you will leave a case record, and you will no longer be able to issue a certificate of no violation of the law, which will affect the employment and progress of your children and grandchildren, in fact, it is not only this, modern people have to use ID cards no matter where they go, they will use them to buy tickets and tickets, and they will also use accommodation, and all travel records and accommodation records are permanently retained in the internal networkAccommodation and travel records from ten or twenty years ago can be called up, so before doing anything, you have to think about whether you can afford the worst, and if you can afford it, then do it, and vice versa.
Wu Zhongyuan is not an elegant person, but he is not a vulgar person, he doesn't like everyone's topic, so he went back to the street to continue to wander, at this time it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was a matchmaker on the street leading the young man around, he was more interested in the custom of blind date, so he followed a young man and followed him to the woman's house.
Halfway to the road met a group of people, the crowd was two quarreling women, one fat and one thin, the fat one was scolding the thin one, the scolding was ugly, as if she was saying that she was dead and seducent her man, and the thin one was swearing by the gambling curse, crying loudly, but there was no such thing at all, and everyone in the audience was helping the fat woman one-sidedly, helping her to scold the thin woman, only saying that the thin woman's family was an outsider, and if there was no man, she would not abide by the woman's way, and if she was not honest, she would drive their whole family away.
Wu Zhongyuan stood outside the crowd and watched for a while, he could basically be sure that the thin woman was wronged, but he didn't make a move, there were too many similar things, dozens or hundreds of things might happen every second, and he couldn't help everyone.
Because of the excitement for a while, the young man who followed before had already walked away from the matchmaker, and Wu Zhongyuan had nowhere to go, so he saw that the village committee office was not far away, and the stove pipe on the window was still smoking, so he went there.
It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any official affairs on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but there is really business here, there are a few construction workers in work clothes sitting in the office, and a few villagers, and the old man who speaks should be the village head.
After listening for a while, Wu Zhongyuan roughly knew what everyone was talking about, these construction workers seemed to be engaged in wind power generation, and they were going to build power generation towers in the fields of these farmers in the future, which involved the issue of land occupation and were being negotiated.
The negotiation between the two sides was not very smooth, and the village chief was responsible for explaining the policy to the villagers, and proposed that the compensation standards were uniform, and that the compensation per mu of land should be 800 yuan per year.
However, the villagers did not agree with this compensation standard, and only said that the amount of money that was taken by whoever was far more than 800 yuan, and whoever took more, and how much was taken, in short, they thought that the compensation amount given by the other party was not enough.
In the end, they broke up unhappily, only the village chief and the construction personnel were left, and through their conversations, Wu Zhongyuan knew that it was not the villagers who were opening the river, but that someone did take more money. The construction workers complained that the village chief was not reliable, and the few who gave more money couldn't control their mouths, and they came out to talk nonsense when they got cheap.
Wu Zhongyuan grew up in the countryside, he knows best what the situation in the countryside is, there is no secret in the countryside, Zhang San told Li Si a word, everyone in the village who can spread it before it is dark in a day knows it.
Wu Zhongyuan was not interested in this kind of fly camp dog thing, and he didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he went out to walk the streets, there are many foods in modern times that were not available in ancient times, not to mention, peanuts are not, although oranges and apples are not as delicious as in modern times, he took a few handfuls of peanuts and a few apples, and counted where to go while peeling and eating from nowhere to go.
He doesn't really want to stay in the village, but now the city hasn't started yet, and he can't see anything when he goes, and although he grew up in the countryside, he has never observed it from a bird's-eye perspective......
