1 When the children in Sijiucheng thought that the instant noodles for 10 yuan were really fragrant, the children in remote areas of China also felt that the instant noodles for 1 yuan were very fragrant and delicious.

For children in these places, instant noodles are a delicacy that can only be eaten on birthdays.

This is no better than Bei (meow) Beijing, which is the political, economic, and cultural center of China, and ordinary workers can earn a few hundred yuan a month. And in those remote places, the income of 100 yuan a month is already very high.

And for those rural families, there is no concept of monthly income at all.

Some in the south can still be harvested a few times a year, three times in two years, to make a little more money, and in the north where there is only one harvest a year, the income of one year is also the income from selling grain.

When the grain is sold, you have to save money to buy seeds and fertilizers for the next year, pay agricultural taxes, and send your children to school.

Therefore, for children in rural areas, not to mention playing on the computer for five yuan an hour, eating a bowl of instant noodles for ten yuan, or eating a pack of instant noodles for one yuan, it is like the Chinese New Year.

However, this year is different from previous years, the third uncle, who went to work in the city, got back a magical machine, and it is said that when he plugs in this machine, he can play games.

A family of more than a dozen children gathered in front of a small 14-inch black-and-white TV, watching their uncle connect the game console and debug the new number.

When they actually saw that their uncle could control things on TV with a controller, their faces were full of surprise.

As the third uncle of the machine, he naturally has to play all the time, so these more than ten children can only line up to play with the third uncle.

The third uncle also likes this atmosphere of being needed and flattered by the children, you must know that he works as a construction worker in the city, and it is impossible not to be scolded a thousand and eight hundred times a day.

Although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't scold back. It's not that he's afraid of the people who scold him, it's that if he scolds, he won't get a penny of his salary.

To know...... Even if you don't pay back, your wages will be in arrears for a long time.

When I returned home and celebrated the New Year, I was able to be needed by others, looked up to by others, worshipped by others, and asked for by others, which is the most hopeful thing for the third uncle in a year.

"Little three, little three, come here. "The elders of the family called the third uncle.

The third uncle handed over the handle in his hand to others and followed the elders out.

The elder said, "Little San, you have made a lot of money." The second son of your Uncle Wang's family also wants to go out to work with you this year, you see ......"

The third uncle took the cigarette handed over by the elders, took out a match to help the elders light it with him, he took two puffs, was silent for a while and said, "Second grandfather, it's not that I don't help...... But can he endure the suffering? You see I seem to have come back with money. But where do I have the money? There are more rich people in the city than I am. ”

"Endure hardship, no matter how bitter you are, can you have hardship?" asked the old man.

"Look-," said the third uncle, rolling up his sleeves, with a large penetrating scar on his arm, "it was pierced by a steel bar. If it weren't for my timely evacuation, I might not have been able to come back this year. But even if you get an arm pierced, you still have to work. Now it's windy and rainy, and it's very uncomfortable here. I want to heal too, but ...... If you don't work, you're going to get out......"

The third uncle's face showed an expression of vicissitudes.

In this era, migrant workers not only cannot pay their wages on time, but there are almost no arrears.

Once you are injured in an accident, as long as you don't die on the spot, don't think about a penny of compensation.

Not only is there no compensation, but as long as you can move, you have to continue to work.

The third uncle recalled the days of that time, went to the black clinic to bandage it briefly, and returned to the construction site with a fever all the time.

Sometimes I don't know anything, and I have to work mechanically.

Others can get a salary of ten yuan a day, and when he is injured, he will also receive five yuan a day.

Fortunately, the vitality of human beings is tenacious, and he finally survived that uncomfortable time, and his body probably returned to normal.

However, he, like many old workers, was addicted to alcohol and smoking.

It's not that he likes to drink, but he doesn't drink at night, and he can't sleep at all after a hard day's work.

After taking a sip of liquor, the whole person fell asleep in a daze.

To say that he is also lucky, the old man who used to sleep next to him bought fake wine because of greed, and forced his eyes to be blind, and became a waste.

Indemnify?

There is nothing to compensate.

The third uncle sometimes feels that they are not human beings at all.

They are building a brand new city, but there is not a single brick in this city.

It was probably only when he returned to his hometown that he felt like a person, a person.

When the old man heard the third uncle's words, he took a few puffs of cigarette and said, "It's okay, how can the men in our village be afraid of hardship." You can make a lot of money by digging in the soil for a lifetime, so let's go to the big city! You haven't seen that in the Spring Festival Gala, the big cities are so good. Do you want to stay in the village and sell blood?"

The third uncle nodded silently after hearing this.

"Alright, let's go play. The old man left.

The third uncle turned around and returned to the middle of the children who had a warm atmosphere and seemed to have no worries at all.

The child who took the handle of the third uncle just now saw the third uncle coming back, and handed back the handle with some reluctance, "Third uncle, you play." ”

Hearing this crisp voice, the third uncle said, "You guys play, I'll just watch it." ”

The child didn't think much about it and continued to play happily.

The third uncle looked at these energetic children and thought a lot in his mind. He suddenly felt a little sad, what kind of life did these children who were as carefree as he was twenty years ago face when they grow up?

If...... If you have a child, should your child be a migrant worker for a lifetime, just like herself?

The third uncle's heart was very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

"It's so much fun!" Wang Jianguo said to Li Dali.

"Hmmm......! We're out of money!"

"yes...... We have no money! However, my mother said that if I finish my winter vacation homework before the fifteenth, I will get twenty yuan in pocket money, and we will come back to play when the time comes! I invite you!" Wang Jianguo said.

"Jianguo, you are so good!" Li Dali hugged Wang Jianguo.

At this time, in the snowy north, a child flipped through the Xinhua dictionary and saw such an example sentence,

"Zhang Hua was admitted to Beijing University, Li Ping entered a secondary technical school, and I worked as a salesperson in a department store: we all have a bright future. ”
