Chapter 496: Mediocre and Noble

The work of carrying bags is also called labor, since ancient times, it used to be on the dock, but now it is not so hard, but now it is also a very tiring job.

Lin Bai arranged a warehouse, carrying rice, a hundred catties of a bag, a car of fifty tons, the car has been driven to the door of the warehouse, only need to be unloaded, put in the cart, and then pushed to the warehouse, just put it away, there is no technology, only strength.

"One person, one car, no overtime today, eight hours, as much as you can move, and tell you how much it will be when the time comes"

I also got a truckload of goods myself, and then unloaded it on the side, Lin Chaosheng gritted his teeth and began to carry it.

A hundred catties of rice is nothing for a healthy adult man, and most people can afford to move it, but it is not so easy if they want to make more money.

The skilled porters next to them don't need a trolley at all, because they have to move and unload twice, which is too wasteful of time, they directly move three or four bags at a time, and then walk to the warehouse and come out again, which is more efficient, but this kind of work is not something that people like us who do it for the first time can bear, so we don't do it so much.

Lin Chaosheng hummed and snorted, he was tall and big, exercising all year round, full of tendon meat, what is it to move something, and gym iron is also his favorite thing to do.

So an hour ago, he was still in full swing, but an hour later, the muscle pain almost made him cry, and what was even more uncomfortable was that he only carried a car of 50 tons of goods, I don't know if there were two or three tons, and others, half of the car was almost finished.

"It's not fair, they're two people working together, I'm alone"

"The cooperation of two people is to divide the money between two people, if you are willing, you can do it, I will help you"

"No, I don't want to see you"

Lin Chaosheng scolded, gritted his teeth and went back to carry it, he was so tired that he was about to vomit blood, and it took him three or four hours to finish moving a cart of rice, and the whole person sat on the ground, not wanting to move.

"Come, pay your salary"

"That's it, you're lying to me"

"You can go and ask, did I lie to you, the wages of these movers are very high, they can get more than 10,000 a month, how much is the average amount"

"You... I'm an Ivy League Ph.D. student, why should I compare myself to them?"

"Yes, you are a famous college student, of course you can't compare with them, but unfortunately this answer makes me dissatisfied, because you haven't understood the truth that I take you to experience life, rest for a few hours, and continue at night"

"What, you want to exhaust me, such a high-intensity physical activity will give way to muscle striation, and in severe cases, it will cause kidney failure"

"Don't worry, I've promised your old man that I can't die"

I grabbed his clothes, took him to the hotel, let him soak in a hot spring, and then personally started and massaged him, my craftsmanship is naturally not doubtful, this is my ability to start, this guy fell asleep directly and comfortably, and when he woke up, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go, I'm working as a waiter in a restaurant at night"

After eating, I directly caught him to go to the hotel as a waiter, this time the hotel is a more popular one in Yangcheng, overcrowded, the waiters are too busy, we went to start a nervous work.

Clean up the table, serve tea and pour water, deliver food, do everything, the speed must be fast, the hands must be steady, and by the way to solve some guest inquiries, people who have not been trained naturally can't do it, and make the chickens and dogs jump.

"Wow"

In the end, a few hours later, Lin Chaosheng dropped the dishes and chopsticks and ran away, unable to stand it.

I didn't scold or fight, I followed him from a distance, Lin Chaosheng wanted to get rid of me several times, but he couldn't get rid of me.

"Liu Jinyang, I can see it, what bullshit experience life, you are just torturing me, you are humiliating me..."

"Are you done scolding, you can sit down and talk after scolding, I'll tell you something"

"The big truth of bullshit, I've heard those words a thousand times, ten thousand times, believe it or not, I'll recite it for you"

"I'm convinced, so I'm going to tell you something fresh, sit down"

I pressed Lin Chaosheng on the steps and sat down on his side.

"I'd like to hear what flowers can you name?"

"What do you see after doing these jobs?"

"What do you want me to see, the bitter life of the toiling masses, the bitter memories of the sweet, the misery of the people, I'm sorry, I've heard these words out of the cocoon"

"These are the appearances, talk about the connotations, why do you think they can only do these labors"

"Hehe, because of education, they have no higher education, no technology, so they can only do these jobs, Liu Jinyang, society is hierarchical, not that there is no none, even abroad, there are poor people"

"I know, but do you know why they don't have the opportunity to get an education?"

"Sure enough, it's still a big truth, and it's going to escalate to the overall situation of the country, is it a historical issue?"

"Sort of"

"I don't want to say it, I'm tired of it"

"Then let me say, because our country is poor, our level of development is low, right, but have you thought about it, in the first twenty years, even these jobs, they couldn't find them, they could only farm, by the way, have you farmed?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Okay, it seems that you have indeed heard too many of these words, and I will not talk nonsense with you, but tell you directly, what I want to tell you tonight has only one theme, mediocrity and nobility.

What is mediocrity, I am a mediocre person, you are also a mediocre person, don't be in a hurry to refute, I know that you graduated from a prestigious university, but what did you do after learning your skills, have you contributed to the country and the people, and are you worthy of the resources you have paid for cultivating you.

I know what you're trying to say, you say you're also working hard, you're contributing to society, I'm sorry, I just want to say that you're just doing it for yourself, you're a refined egoist"

"Hehe, according to you, those assembly lines, waiters, and haulers are noble?"

"It doesn't count, because they are busy with food and clothing, and they take money to work, which is not considered noble"

"Then you are a double standard, I am an egoist when I work with money, they are what they should be, what is the reason"

"Because you are highly educated, you have enjoyed the resources given to you by the country, who are noble, those scientists who work hard, those soldiers who dedicate themselves to the country, firefighters, policemen, and your father, your father is a very powerful person, if he does not do this business, he will have a better life, believe it or not, you have studied history, and you know that in that poor and white era, those scientists who returned to China ·····"

"Speaking of which, it really doesn't feel new, are you just being generous to others, or is it a moral kidnapping"

"Sort of, what I want to say is that you have departed from the most basic demands of life, you have the right to choose mediocrity and nobility, and in fact, mediocrity and nobility are often not opposites, but coexist, you can return to China, you can also live your life abroad, and you can also contribute to the country.

Lin Chaosheng, this is our country, gave birth to us, provided for our country, he is still very poor, very backward, he needs the efforts of many people, make him better, a person, no matter what, should not forget his roots.

I know you won't listen to what I'm saying now, it's okay, I won't let you work in the next few days, but you should go and see, see how those people at the bottom live, and really get to know your motherland.

I said so much, I never asked you, give up everything, give up what you deserve, selfless dedication, I only hope that you can help us when you have spare energy..."

"I don't understand what you're saying, and you're not a good person"

"You're right again, I'm not a good person, but these words are definitely good words, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just remember it, if one day, you have some understanding, and then think about it in turn, I think it should be helpful to your life, that's it today, go back to rest, and don't work tomorrow"

I patted him on the shoulder, turned and left, it was a despicable thing to ask others to be noble, but to be willing to help others when I could was definitely a noble thing.

All living beings, the vast majority of people are mediocre, the tide of the times is a minority after all, Lin Bai's concept is actually backward and decadent, but his original intention is admirable, Lin Chaosheng doesn't understand, it's understandable, but I understand, because I come from the bottom, I know what Lin Bai thinks.

From the next day, I didn't let Lin Chaosheng work, but the previous arrangement was the same, we went to many places, hotels, construction sites, warehouse logistics, express delivery, takeaways, and all other places where the bottom people lived, we didn't work, and began to consult them.

Ask them about their working hours, work content, income level, hometown situation, and their dreams, and record them one by one.

Two days later, we chatted with a so-called second generation worker, he is a descendant of migrant workers, and he is also a migrant worker, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the father and son did not go home, but prepared for the New Year in a crowded urban village, which was a very small single room, one bed and one bunk, dark and narrow, but there was a desk that was very eye-catching, and it was full of books.

Lin Chaosheng talked to him for hours, and when he came out, for the first time, there was no ridicule, contempt, and disdain, only heaviness.

"He is a talent, he loves to read very much, his logical thinking is very strong, better than me, he is only twenty years old, he should appear in the university, not the construction site, Liu Jinyang, you tell me, why did he not appear in school, but here"

"Maybe it's poverty, there is a saying that is very good, poverty is the original sin"

"But..."

"Lin Chaosheng, there are still many such people in our country, they don't have the opportunity to study, why don't they have the opportunity, this is what you should think about, how to give them the opportunity to study, this is what you should do, think about these two questions clearly, your life will be very different, it's almost the New Year, go back, Mr. Lin's side I will help you say, he won't tell you those big truths in the future, you have to remember, you are an adult, the Qi family rules the country and the world, where to go, you have to consider, the mediocre are not despicable, the noble are respected, hey, there are a lot of big truths, go, don't talk about it." ”

I patted Lin Chaosheng on the shoulder, turned around and left, in front, Xiao Xu had already come to pick up, standing at the door of the car, Lin Bai was sitting in the car, looking at us.
