Chapter 180: Two Things
"Uncle, does my eldest cousin know English?"
"Xiao Mo, isn't there a Chinatown?"
"It's a Chinatown, but most of the people speak Cantonese and Mingnan, and we don't understand it at all. There are only a very few people who can speak Mandarin www.biquge.info, but where do you go to make a living, do you only deal with these very few people? Let's not talk about this first, I'll talk about how to go abroad first. β
If my uncle didn't "make a mistake" for more than five years, now there is no need for Li Mo to explain, after making a mistake, he was forced to return to his hometown and return to the countryside, and the whole thing would be closed. Li Mo didn't explain, and his uncle really couldn't figure it out.
"There are several ways, immigrate abroad, and don't think about it. took out his green card to go abroad, that is, the green card in my father and my hands," Li Mo also deliberately took out his green card to show his uncle.
"Now going abroad is gradually relaxing a lot, including passports, basically only extended once every two or three years, and just go through the extension procedures before expiration."
When Li Mo started to handle it, he had to register almost every time he went abroad, and of course, the more relaxed he went, and it gradually became five years, or even ten years.
After two or three years of extension, you can still go abroad to work, but it is not a passport, but a green card!
"Then there's the green card, not everyone can get a green card, especially in China, which is poor, and it's even more difficult to apply for a green card, and there are generally two situations, one is a particularly good talent, such as a sports champion, an artist, an engineer, a scientist, the best writer, and the other is a person who has at least a million dollars of investment in the United States. If it weren't for my dad being my guardian, my dad wouldn't have been able to get his green card. β
"I don't have a green card, so I have to go through the visa pass. Visas are divided into long-term visas and short-term visas, and long-term generally refers to people who go abroad on special missions, such as international students and embassy officials abroad...... The rest are short-term and only a few months. If you don't come back for a few months, the country thinks you are treasonous, and the United States will send police to search for you everywhere. As long as you are caught, you will be guilty. β
"Finally, there are illegal immigrants, mostly Mexicans, and the rest are people from some poor countries in Central and South America, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Indians, including a very small number of Chinese. They ran to the United States in the form of smuggling, but because their identities could not be exposed, they could only do the hardest and most tiring work, and the wages were relatively small. Even when he was bullied by others, he didn't dare to call the police. The Chinese, in particular, are the most disunited group. It's better to know English, but if you don't know English, if you choose this path, you might as well go back to China in '66. β
"So it's so difficult to go abroad?"
"Uncle, the first time my dad and I went abroad, it was a visa to go abroad, and the United States has issued certificates everywhere, and even the American consulate in the magic capital has gone through the procedures, or the Americans have done the procedures for my family, but they have been tossed for a month and a half. Is that easy? Uncle, big cousin......"
Li Mo thought for a while and asked his eldest cousin, "Do you know how to chainsaw?" β
The eldest cousin shook his head.
"In this way, you go out first, whether you go to Kyoto or anywhere else, don't care about the salary, go to some furniture factories first, and get familiar with some power tools. By next fall, I'll send you to a factory. If you marry your eldest cousin, your eldest cousin can also go over. Where to take care of breakfast and lunch, if two people work hard, they can earn at least two or three hundred yuan a month. If the efficiency of the factory is good and they continue to work overtime, maybe the two of them can earn three or four hundred yuan a month. Although it is not as good as the United States, we have low prices in China, right? β
"With such a high salary?"
"Yes, they are Sino-foreign joint ventures, but when they enter the factory, one is hard work, and the other is craftsmanship, and if the craftsmanship is not good, they will not get high wages. If the craft progresses quickly, maybe you alone can get three or four hundred yuan a month. β
There are too many types of toys, just from the material classification, there are fluff, plastic, metal, wood, paper, magnet and other types.
The highest wages in the factory are undoubtedly the management, then the salesmen and engineers, then the technicians, including some craftsmen, some skilled carpenters, and finally the general workers.
After the eldest cousin dropped out of school, he began to learn carpenter, but what Li Mo knew, his craftsmanship was the same thing in this life.
If he didn't cheat for personal gain, with the skills of his eldest cousin, he wouldn't be able to recruit Li Mo into the joint venture factory that Li Mo would open in the future.
"Big cousin, you don't smoke, do you?"
"Don't suck."
"It's good not to smoke, it's a factory that makes toys, and if you find someone smoking, you will be fired immediately." Li Mo said, speaking of this, he thought of a few smoker workers in the fireworks factory, and said viciously in his heart, this safety must be grasped.
"Can you get in?"
"Big cousin, you can enter, but whether you can not let people be expelled, and how much salary you want to get, the key depends on whether you are diligent or not, and whether your skills are good. Big cousin, the New Year is over, hurry up and learn the real carpenter's trade. β
How much salary will be paid in the future, Li Mo has not yet thought about it.
But as a top carpenter, the salary will not be bad.
Even more than planting one or two acres of greenhouse vegetables at home, but the nature of the two is different, greenhouse vegetables come in the wind, go in the rain, far more difficult than going to work.
The three members of my uncle's family left.
Li Mo's mother asked, "You really can't get it abroad?" β
"It's your nonsense, you can go abroad, but it depends on whom. Can Big Cousin go? First of all, I don't know English, and secondly, my craftsmanship is not good, and my temper is the same as my uncle's, stinky and hard, even if I am in China, in foreign countries, who can stand this temper? β
"Can you get abroad?"
"Yes, but you can't get it, if you get it abroad, it's a harm to him. You ask my dad how bad policing is in the United States. Especially those black people, who are big and wild, can do anything. β
And the three old watches of my uncle's family are not bad in the future, and they have been suffering for a few years, so it's a big deal to borrow my mother's hand and give a little relief. In fact, there is no need for Li Mo to say, he also knows that his mother helps his uncle's family from time to time, which is normal, after all, he is his own brother.
There is no need for him to mess with the trajectory of their fate, at most, when something happens to the four elders, he will help in time, so as not to end up with unknown life and death, and the whole person will disappear like this.
"Xiao Mo, that watch ......"
"Send it, send it."
"How much does that watch cost?"
"Mom, you don't care, you sent the third cousin, your brother's daughter, how much does it cost."
"I think you still have one."
"Mom, I can't give you this piece, you want it, in a month or two, I will go to the United States, and I will buy you another piece." I gave it to my classmates. β
"You're in love?"
"It's not a formal talk, at least you have to wait until you go to college."
"How old is she?"
"Two years older than me."
"Older than you......"
"Isn't that classmate older than me?"
"Is that the one?"
"It's that milky-white, tall ......."
"I remember, is it that very beautiful little girl."
"Mom, why do you talk so vulgarly, what I like is her heart, not beautiful." Li Mo's words are also a bit hypocritical, Guo Zirong has a good heart, but it is also very important to be beautiful......
Give it to the future daughter-in-law, this can't be wanted.
How much is this watch, Li Mo's mother asked Li Mo's father again, where did Li Mo's father know.
The next night, Liujin and Li Shibu came to Li's house in the dark, as for Li Dayou, he saw the real price, oh, it turned out that he was so cheap, didn't the son of Li Guangping's family do it. That's it, he won't feel guilty, and after returning from the magic capital, he will go home immediately.
Li Shibu and Liujin felt very guilty.
"Xiao Mo, why are there two foreign exchange prices?" Six Jin asked incomprehensibly.
"Well, look at my grandmother, who is in her sixties and still working in the fields. If you are a high-level cadre, you will be aged in a high-level nursing home. Can it be the same? Speaking of reading, my little sister studied for a year as an auditor in Chao City, and when she arrived at Nangang Primary School, she immediately became a top student. Well, after a year of stocking, the grades slipped again. Can going to school in the city be the same as going to school in the countryside? β
Liujin and Li Shibu haven't understood yet, and Li Mo doesn't want to explain.
"We all took advantage."
"Auntie, you can't say that, at that time, my dad wanted to buy a color TV, I thought, only my family has it, and some people will be red-eyed. I secretly posted some money, and I really posted it, even if it was according to the official exchange rate, I bought some TVs for everyone and came back. I didn't say much, let's make an analogy, it's still very difficult to install a phone now, the six-handed brother saw, my telephone was installed in 82, and some directors didn't install it, why did I install it? All I paid was to purchase six or seven color TVs. β
"Later, the leaders of the Stone Town Vegetable Bureau asked me to buy on my behalf, and the character of my family, you also know, the grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates, so I bought it for them. In addition, the villagers, they know that they have taken advantage, but they do not intentionally want to take advantage of my family, many people have bought it, and they are all one by one. β
"Last year,When I heard it,A color TV can be more than 1,000 yuan different,In fact, they were wrong,They are referring to domestic production,If it is imported originally,The price difference on the black market will be higherγ Then a swarm of bees came, and some people had a really good appetite, and they wanted four or five sets. My family is a fool, huh? At this time, the mentality is already wrong. That's why I decisively refused. β
After Li Mo refused, some people gradually figured it out and felt that it was wrong for them to do this, including Liujin and Li Shibu.
There are also people who are not ashamed, this is asking others, and people agree to receive other people's feelings, and if they do not agree, it is also their right, this is the idea.
But there are a very few people who have a very bad mentality, and they talk nonsense everywhere, saying that Li Mo is not yet developed, and they forget their roots.
Not only that, but there are a very few people, thinking that Li Mo is small, the Li family is weak, and it is easy to bully, Li Mo went home and began to mumble again, Xiao Mo, you have foreign exchange, someone has a relationship, how many color TVs do you have?
Li Mo asked Liu Jin to take Li Shibu and Li Dayou to the magic capital, you can see for yourself, how much does an original imported color TV cost?
What you say, Li Mo doesn't care, you can say whatever you want, anyway, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, but don't bother me!
"In the past few years, my heart has been disturbed," Li Shibu said with emotion......
"Auntie, I can't say that my heart is messed up, my heart has always been messed up, but ten years ago, everyone had nothing, and if they wanted to mess up, they couldn't mess up."
During the Cultural and Revolution, was the folk customs simple?
What a ghost! There is still intrigue and intrigue everywhere, whether in the countryside or in the city. All kinds of villagers, Li Mo is not angry, he has a short knowledge, and he is like this. Even some leaders also came over, and they really made Li Mo angry at that time.
Others don't know, you have to know, at least I built seven primary schools for the township.
That's when the sky pressed it.
Indeed, that time scared several leaders in the township and town, and even ran to Li Mo's house and slapped Li Guangping several times. It wasn't until a few months later, when there was no punishment from above, that a heart gradually fell.
Chinese New Year's Eve is here.
Xiaomei took the five yuan given by Li Mo's mother to press the New Year's money...... Don't worry, it's going to be handed in tomorrow, she looked at her eldest brother with a blank eye. (To be continued.) )
