Chapter 200: Reality

Masayoshi Kishimoto took off the new underwear that Makoto Natsui had bought for himself in the upstairs bedroom, and took out another pair of underwear from the underwear drawer to put it back on. What he worries about is that when Rie Sakai washes clothes, he will notice that something is wrong, after all, the brand of underwear is obviously different.

Besides, even the color of the underwear is not the same. Natsui Makoto's taste is not Sakai Rie's. If the latter saw it, she would inevitably be suspicious, and her instinctive first reaction was how could she possibly buy panties of such a color?

After Kishimoto changed it, he kicked the "incriminating evidence" in the pocket of his jacket and threw it into the trash can when he was about to go for a walk.

In this way, God is unaware, and even if Rie Sakai has doubts in her heart, there is no "incriminating evidence". Their own "crimes" cannot be established.

At lunchtime, the two sat face to face in the small dining room downstairs. A variety of nutritious dishes are placed on the table.

"Meiling is about to enter her third year of high school, a critical year. Rie Sakai was eating lunch and chatting with him about the family.

Masayoshi Kishimoto understands that Japan also has a college entrance examination, which is also called the entrance examination by them. One is a national unified examination, and the other is an independent enrollment examination for colleges and universities.

If the former does not do well in the exam or fails the list, there is still a chance for the latter. The latter is not a one-time test, but can be taken many times.

The exam times of Japan's elite schools are basically staggered. Candidates only need to prepare round-trip transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, etc., and then they can take the test at the university where they are applying.

The good of this college entrance examination system is that it is not a one-shot deal. The not-so-good aspect is that it is not fair to students from economically disadvantaged families.

After all, they won't have that much spare money for their children to travel far away for exams. Even for the average middle-class family, it is a large expense, like a trip.

On the transportation fee, it must cost money, and it is impossible to walk. If you don't live well, it will inevitably affect your sleep, and it will also affect your performance in the on-the-spot exam. Staying in a good hostel, that's a must.

As for eating, you can make do with it. If Mirei Sakai does not do well in the national unified examination in Kochi Prefecture, then she will have to leave Kochi Prefecture and go to Tokyo in person.

Or, next year, we will continue to take the national unified examination. As long as the time is staggered, she can apply for universities in many different cities, and she can also go to Kyoto, Osaka and other cities to transfer exams. In addition to the written test, there is also an interview.

Especially the interview of a famous school, it is really not a formality, it is completely possible to brush the candidates who have passed the written test, and there is even an oral interview in English.

Not only that, but the Japanese acceptance rate is determined by the uniform deviation value of candidates each year. Prestigious universities are naturally not worried about the source of students, after all, there are many overseas students every year.

"Don't stop talking!" said Rie Sakai, as an older sister, who is still very concerned about her sister's future.

"I know that during the period, I need to find a good extracurricular tutor class for the college entrance examination and a good tutor. This is a matter of money, you can send it to Meiling yourself.

Besides, if Meiling comes to Tokyo to take the exam, you should also be more careful! I will not blame you for taking your husband's money to support your mother's family. Kishimoto said calmly.

Rie Sakai did not resist the term "husband's family". She wanted him to nod and say, "I'll clearly record these extra expenses in the family ledger." ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously: "Tell Meiling to prepare well for the entrance exam." If you can't get into a prestigious university this year, you will take the exam again next year.

If you can't take the test next year, then you will keep taking the test. When you are admitted to a prestigious university, you will go to it when you want. I'll pay for all the expenses during this period.

Starting this year, we have also started to recruit only those who have graduated from prestigious universities in principle. Of course, this is an exception for people with special skills.

Even if I don't say it, you know the reality in Japan. Nowadays, non-famous universities have a unified name, called the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, or the university of the common people themselves.

Children who go to such universities generally come from families such as workers, peasants, and soldiers. Even after graduating from college, you won't have a good job. If you don't have a good job, you won't have a good income.

Without a good income, there will not be enough money to raise the next generation, so it will enter a circular chain that is difficult to jump out of. If there is another accident, the decline of the class becomes inevitable, and the direct decline from the common class to the poor will be. ”

Rie Sakai understands what he is saying. In Japan, it is true that what university you go to determines the trajectory of your future life.

At the same time, Masayoshi Kishimoto also thought of going with her. Big-handed companies will definitely only recruit graduates from prestigious universities for a fresh blood enrichment.

If you can't get into a big company, you won't have an annual income that will increase with age, and you will often face the risk of losing your job because of the instability of your job.

Without a good income, it is a problem to get married. Even if a woman is beautiful, it does not mean that she will be able to marry a rich man. You can see this from the industrial chain of Japan's special industries.

There are not a few beauties among them, but it is difficult for them to be supported by rich people. Even men from the general middle class generally do not choose poor women as their wives, after all, it will lower his quality of life.

Even if they are barely together, it is difficult to last long. Not only in China, but also in Japan, and even more so in South Korea.

As for the poor man, according to Chinese words, there are no more than three generations of poverty, not that after three generations of poverty, the fourth generation will get better, but there will be no fourth generation at all, after all, he can't even afford to marry a wife, and he won't have children, so the fourth generation?

Even if you reluctantly get married and have children, the family will have a hard time haha. Without the resources of the future, we will lose the rare opportunities in life. In a highly developed capitalist society, money is really very important, and it not only affects itself, but also affects future generations.

Especially when people reach middle age, they will truly appreciate what a midlife crisis is. Once a large company lays off employees, there will be room for regular employees to gradually decentralize from the parent company to the subsidiary, to the subsidiaries, to the subsidiaries, and even to the lower companies.

Often, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and there is no human affection at all. As long as the regular staff doesn't care too much about personal face and accepts a pay cut of one-third, two-thirds, or even more, then there will still be work.

Otherwise, you will be sent to work in an underdeveloped country or region overseas, which is also called an exile by the company by the Japanese. Otherwise, survival becomes quite severe.

In 2006, NHK (NHK), which has always been concerned with social reality, focused on such a group of people, and then produced the documentary "Japan's Poor People Trilogy".

These are "Japan's Poor Busy People 1: Hard Work and Solid Poverty", "Japan's Poor Busy People 2: You Can Do It With Hard Work", and "Japan's Poor Busy People 3: The Solution".

At this time, the number of "poor busy people" in Japan has reached 4 million. Even with a conservative estimate of three members per household, the number of "busy people" has exceeded 12 million, or about one-tenth of Japan's total population (128 million).

In fact, the average number of people in a household in Japan is five or six, which means that it will basically double, and between one-fifth and one-sixth of the country's population is the "poor busy" of the poor class.

This coincides with the actual number of poor people officially announced by Japan. Of course, this criterion is not one dollar or two dollars per capita per day, but according to the general standard of developed capitalist countries, a city or region, the average median personal income or household income is less than half of the average is considered poor.
