Chapter 126: The Capital
On Saturday morning, before half past eight, the children of the Zhao family returned to their parents' house. This is more positive and punctual than when they go to work and school.
The house was too small to fit the three generations of their grandparents, so they each took either a chair or a stool, and moved to the courtyard and sat down.
Of course, the Zhao family will not forget to close the gate of their yard. In their eyes, this is a big matter related to the life and death of the family.
"Did you two elders see Jia Ziyu?" The boss of the Zhao family was not anxious about himself. Compared to his younger siblings, he has a good job.
Although the monthly income of the husband and wife is not high, it is stable, and it is not at all like the younger siblings who fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, and one day without a day's work.
He was most worried about his son than his own son. This kid has graduated from college for two or three years, and still hasn't found a decent job.
The son's meager monthly income is his pocket money. Luckily, my home is locally. Otherwise, with the little money he earns, he can't even support himself, let alone support his daughter-in-law.
Not only did the child not give a single yuan to the family, but he also ate and drank, and even reached out to him and his wife to ask for money. After all, in this place of the capital, I am not afraid that you have many desires, but I am afraid that you have no money.
As long as you have money, eat, drink and play, get drunk and drunk, and enjoy all the good things, all the good enjoyments can be realized, as if people live in heaven, and sigh that life is too short.
On the other hand, if you don't have money, it's like living in hell, and you feel sad that life is so long, life is better than death, and life is so tiring that it is better to die.
"Not only did they meet, but they also left us for a meal. Old man Zhao's face couldn't help but show a lot of pride, and he said with the appearance of returning to the former great housekeeper of Jiafu.
"Then did you tell her about that?" the second child of the Zhao family also asked anxiously. On the one hand, he is for himself, and on the other hand, for the future of his own children.
My daughter has graduated from college for more than a year, although she works as a secretarial worker in a small company, but her income is still small, mainly because she has no future at all.
He has been mixed in society for decades, and he can't understand that a small company like his daughter's work will go bankrupt if it says it will go bankrupt, and there will not even be severance pay, let alone any protection of five insurances and one housing fund.
Don't say anything that violates the relevant national regulations. Small companies are like this, love to do it or not. Their way of survival is to squeeze all kinds of benefits of employees to the maximum, extend working hours, and let employees work overtime for free......
My daughter thinks that people will go to high places and water will flow to low places, either to work in well-known large companies, or to go to the system to mix. However, the reality is cruel.
Everyone knows that the former is not a 985,211 university graduate, and the latter is not ordinary. Moreover, even if you graduate from a double-first-class university, you still have to compete with a lot of the same people. Not only is there no shortage of people, but it's also a place where there is a lot of talent.
This place in the capital seems to be full of gold, and you can get money by pulling and pulling your hands towards yourself. Actually, it's all an illusion.
Although there are many opportunities, not as many as in small places, there are countless and intertwined nepotism, but the competition has become more and more fierce.
Many ancestors have taken root here for three or five generations, and there are still many people who are living hard. Three generations are crammed into a house of twenty or thirty square meters, which is not a lot.
There is only one set of houses, and that is a number that is written on the books. Do you dare to sell it? If you sell it, where will the family live? Therefore, the pressure of survival here is unprecedented, and that is by no means a joke.
It's just that locals are better than outsiders because they have less rent. An 80-square-meter house can accommodate 28 people, what is that concept?
A veritable ant tribe. Even a bed with such a bunk bed, in the third ring road, will cost 7 or 800 yuan a month's rent.
If you want to live in a single room of ten square meters, the rent is also seven or eight hundred a month, then you can only live in the basement, and you can only live in the rat clan. It is said that there are more than a million such people.
A fresh graduate of an ordinary university who has just arrived in Beijing, even if he finds a job, his monthly salary is two or three thousand yuan.
In a place like the capital, it is indeed very low, and it is difficult to even let a person live. In addition to the rent of 7 or 800 yuan, water, electricity, Internet, mobile phone bills, meals, cars, etc.
College students who have just stepped out of college will naively ask their employers for a salary of four or five thousand yuan. As for the reason, it is nothing more than the lowest cost for their survival here, in their opinion.
In fact, the HR of the employer will unceremoniously ask you, what does this have to do with them? The implication is that you can live and can't, and I have nothing to do with it.
The company hires people to make money for it, and only if you earn five dollars for it, will you get one yuan from it, and you don't open a good church to feed people for no reason.
TV news, some public income data on the Internet, that's just data, not the most real situation. Only the money that the individual gets in his hands is money. Then, you will laugh at yourself, drag your feet again, and even drag your panties off.
Outside the seventh ring road of the capital, there is also a poverty belt around the capital that is close at hand. In Chicheng, Fengning, Laiyuan and other places, there are still nearly 200 impoverished villages and 1.54 million poor people.
In this episode, some people in the poverty-stricken areas are still living in extreme poverty of "walking on muddy roads", "living in old houses", and "having no brides".
The 180-kilometer distance of the Badaling Expressway from Beijing to CC County in ZJK City clearly reflects the difference between Beijing and Akagi.
One is a modern metropolis that is ambitious and eager to step into the ranks of "world cities", and the other is a national-level poverty-stricken county in the "poverty belt around the capital" where there are still "mud roads", "old houses" and "no brides".
Although CC County is adjacent to Yanqing in the south and Huairou in the east, it is close to BJ, and the mountains and rivers are connected.
However, the wealth and superiority of the BJ side and the sorrow and embarrassment of the HB side cannot be changed by crossing the small bridge, the ridge, the boundary stone, and the crossbar that are the boundary divisions.
Not only that, the two villages of Bac Ha Province and Beijing City are only separated by one road, and the difference in pensions is nearly 7 times. The villagers of Langjiamo Village often compare themselves to Zhengjiamo Village.
The government's forest protection subsidy is only 300 yuan per mu and 3,500 yuan per mu there; the monthly salary of village cadres here is more than 400 yuan, and there is more than 1,200 yuan; only farmers over 60 years old have a pension of 55 yuan per month, and men over 60 years old and women over 55 years old have a pension of 350 yuan per month......
