Chapter Eighty-Four: Ordinary People's Thoughts [Asking for Recommendation Votes!First Update]
"Mom, Mom, there's not enough money. A child wearing a bright red scarf ran out of a breakfast shop on the street and said to his mother pushing a bicycle.
"Why is it expensive again?" said Mom as she pulled out her wallet, "How much?"
"It's five cents for two! It's still a dime!" said the child.
"Hmm. The mother took out a dime note with a picture of working people and handed it to the child.
The children hurriedly squeezed back into the breakfast shop to buy steamed buns.
In the land of China, something unusual has happened in the past two years, and even ordinary people have reacted.
What is it?
It's the rapid rise in prices.
The sugar that was two dollars a penny a year ago is now three dollars a dime.
The price of buns is also one price a day, one cent yesterday, and two cents a day today.
Interest rates on banks are also surprisingly high, even higher than those of later generations of wealth management products. It is generally higher than 10 percent, and many can even reach 15 percent.
However, in comparison, there has been no increase in the wages of the work. Fifty last year, sixty this year. It seems to be ten more yuan, but last year I could eat meat for the whole family every three or five days, and this year I can't drink porridge.
It's different to go to other places, the reason why the early shop here is so popular, even if the price increases, there is still an endless stream of sellers.
Not because of anything else, but because of the proximity to 10,000 households.
Although most of the people who live outside the Wanhu factory do not have the opportunity to work in Wanhu. However, the high consumption brought about by the high wages of 10,000 households still drove a group of people to work. The small factories that are gradually growing in the neighborhood are also full of work because of some corner work in Wanhu. The workers' incomes are also good.
Although none of these companies are iron rice bowls, even iron rice bowls have not eaten much here in these years.
The young mother was a migrant worker from a nearby village, and spending an extra penny or two was not too much of a burden for her.
In the early nineties, plastic bags were not yet widely used in China. So the two buns are wrapped in paper.
Although the price of steamed buns has increased to five cents and two, the size of the steamed buns is not small, and the filling inside is also very similar.
When a child eats a bite, his mouth is full of oil flowers, not to mention how happy he is.
The two big buns took a while to finish eating, and some children who choked their throats said to their mothers, "Mom...... I want a game console for 10,000 households...... Several students in the class have it. It's the kind of game machine that can be played with two hands. ”
Although it is not distressing to buy steamed buns, when it comes to buying game consoles, young mothers quit. I saw the young mother raise her eyebrows and sternly reprimand, "What kind of game console to buy! Buy a game console! You are still a student, you have to study hard, do you know? And do you know how expensive the game console is for 10,000 households? It costs more than 1,000 yuan! The game console is specially sold to foreigners who are stupid and have a lot of money! What kind of family do we have, can our family afford it?"
"Oh......" The little child who hesitated for a long time before saying it was silent again.
Mom said that Wanhu's game consoles are sold to foreigners who are stupid and have a lot of money, but there are really several classmates who have them...... It's fun......
If you have one, you can let Xiaomei come to your house to play.
Disappointment was written all over the child's face.
Children have the thoughts of children, but adults have the sorrows of adults.
The young mother, who is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old this year, has the idea in her mind at the moment is how to buy a nearby building.
That's right, commercial housing is for sale nearby.
Although everyone felt that living in a building was like living in a pigeon cage at first, they have experienced the living conditions of 10,000 residential buildings that are as warm as spring in winter and clean and less gray. There are still quite a few people who want to live in a building.
Unfortunately, in the past two years, the residential buildings of 10,000 households have only been used by employees of 10,000 households, and can only be purchased by employees of 10,000 households. Even if others are greedy, only a very small number of them can buy second-hand houses to live in by purchasing from 10,000 employees.
Of course, even the price of second-hand housing is not low, 500 yuan per square meter.
You must know that this young mother and father are both employees, and their monthly income is only more than 300 yuan. And that's the income that only comes after coming here.
Before planting land for a year, once all kinds of taxes and fees and retention funds were paid, it would be good for the whole family to have 1,000 yuan left a year. And...... This 1,000 yuan will also buy seeds and fertilizers in the coming year. After a year of hard work, at most, it just made the whole family starve to death, and the hunger was not bad. If you don't raise some chickens, ducks, geese and pigs at home, cut the grass and feed them when the farm is not working. You may not be able to eat any meat all year round.
This young family now has about 5,000 yuan in savings. It is said that the boss of the thousand houses is the uncle of the president of the ten thousand households, otherwise the two companies can be called thousands of households?
And...... It is said that the quality of the house is as good as that of the residential building of Manho. Heating is all enjoyed by the same heating place.
In this way, not to mention the warmth of the home, and the need to get up early every day to burn the fire, can you be happier?
The most important thing is that you can also get a loan when you buy these houses!
What's the loan?
It's about borrowing money to buy a house!
Although the interest rate is a bit high, look at the current bank interest rate is 15%. A hundred dollars are saved for a year, and the interest is fifteen dollars. The interest on the loan to buy a house is nothing.
As for what kind of game console the son wants......
I would never buy it.
Although the price of more than 1,000 yuan can still be afforded, more than 1,000 can buy two houses!
What's more, if you want to play a new game, you have to buy a new cartridge. Even if you buy it in a supermarket in 10,000 households, a cassette will cost one or two hundred yuan.
But there is not so much money for the child to lose.
How nice it is to have that money to buy a house.
Thinking of living in a warm and clean building in the future, the young mother forgot about her anger and continued to push the bicycle.
The child, who was only in the second semester of the first grade of primary school, saw that his mother didn't seem to be angry anymore, and his heart gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
He is still young, and in his class, there is already a very bad atmosphere, which is the atmosphere of comparison.
There are benefits in the vicinity of 10,000 households, and although they have become rich little by little economically, in terms of spirit, it seems that the vast majority of people are beginning to look more and more at money.
More and more people believe that money is everything.
Money can't solve all problems, but it can solve most of them.
When capitalism is ushered in, everything that capitalism is ushered in.
Here in Wanhu, the old order is collapsing faster, and the new order is being established rapidly.
