Chapter 422: Live Optimistically
At Kevins' home converted from an old minibus, Gao Siqi knew that this was indeed a slum rather than an outdoor literary lawn square.
The most valuable thing in Kevins' house is a television set, which he picked up from the garbage dump and repaired it himself.
It should be said that most of Kevins' belongings are treasures from the garbage heap.
For example, beds, cutlery, some knick-knacks, etc., and a skewer that shakes its head and tail when it looks at Kevins and doesn't know what kind of skewers.
Kevins doesn't live alone, he has a young wife and a five-year-old daughter.
Hearing this, Gong Lieyang suffered a 10,000-point critical attack.
Kevins is so poor that he has a wife, and he is still single!
Daughter Alice is very cute, with blonde hair and big blue eyes, holding a well-washed, but whitened rag doll.
Alice watched curiously as the visitor hid timidly behind her mother.
Whether it is from the furnishings of the home or from the actual living conditions of the three people, the Kevins family is indeed below the poverty line.
But compared to the chaotic black ghetto, there is a lot more warmth and life here.
Kevins kept saying, "We're still living, we're living, aren't we?"
In the popular Internet language of Xia Kingdom, that is, life needs a sense of ritual.
Kevins was very hospitable, and the family planned to prepare dinner for Gao Siqi and the others.
Gao Siqi refused again and again, and there were eight people in their group plus security, which was quite a lot. Eight people could feed the Kevins family for at least a week.
But Kevins was adamant about hospitality, and his warmth and hospitality made it difficult for Gao Siqi to be warm.
Gao Siqi only thought about giving some money to compensate Kevins for a while.
The hospitable Kevins brought out the family's modest food — three sea bass, a jar of peanut butter, a bunch of self-grown land and tomatoes.
Xu Limin sees the biggest difference between different ethnic groups here.
Just the way people in the slums get their food is by rummaging through garbage heaps, and Kevins is fishing and planting.
Fishing and farming are not very productive, but it's much better to be able to replenish your food source than to dig through the garbage dumps.
Xu Limin even had an idea that if the people of Xia Kingdom lived here, they would starve to death even if they couldn't find a job.
The land in South Anfei is not tight, such a pleasant environment, such a rich soil, any little planting can feed a family.
With the help of his virtuous wife, a sumptuous dinner was prepared.
Grilled sea bass, sea bass tomato soup, mashed potatoes, peanut butter.
The meat of the sea bass is not much, not enough for eleven people to eat, and the food is not rich, so it is barely sacrificed.
At the beginning of dinner, Kevins and his wife also improvised a show, and the cute little girl Alice was dancing on the lawn.
Gao Siqi was moved.
From the Kevins family, she felt a passion for life. No matter how bad your situation is right now, as long as you have a zest for life, you will be happy.
Gao Siqi also contributed her own snacks - a few ham sausages and some chocolates and candies.
Alice was very greedy when she looked at the ham sausage, so Gao Siqi peeled one for her.
Little Alice swallowed and took a big bite, her eyes full of satisfaction.
During the meal, Gao Siqi asked Kevins about some things.
"Why don't you work?" Gao Siqi is most puzzled by this, it stands to reason that Kevins is not very old, since he can repair the TV by himself, he has certain skills, why not work.
Kevins' eyes were full of loss, and he said: "I looked for jobs, and I did some jobs, such as unloading clerks in supermarkets, car mechanics, etc., but they were all fired, and they preferred black people for these jobs, because there are preferential policies for hiring black people, and white people will be discriminated against in these positions, not to mention low wages, and they will be bullied." ”
Kevins smiled helplessly and said, "Not all white people can't find a job, I don't have a degree, and big companies won't want me." ”
"But my wife, Bella, is great!" said Kevins, "and she's been working in the community lately, and while the job is precarious, she has some pay. ”
After understanding, the so-called community work is just cleaning up the community and cleaning up the garbage. It belongs to the zero-hour work that you can do and you will not have if you don't do it.
And the remuneration is not very high, only enough to buy some basic daily necessities, and it is far from enough to buy food.
