One hundred and nine, the world of the little people
Weibote's abnormality also attracted the attention of the workshop management personnel, and it was normal for thousands of employees up and down the Nuoda Machinery Factory to have a little bit of a small situation.
In this case, the managers have a lot of experience, and during the lunch break the director of Wibot, Supor Ivanov, came to talk to him.
"Wibot, are you feeling unwell today? Or have you been too tired lately and haven't rested well? Supor asked tentatively
In the face of the supervisor's questioning, Weibot knew that he was in trouble, and if he couldn't explain it clearly, he would probably be rested! He thought about resting, but when he thought of income, he decisively gave up. Busy said: "No! No! Mr. Supor, do you look like I'm sick?? ”
Supor looked up and down a lot of Weibot, found nothing wrong, thought about it and said, "Otherwise!" Don't go to work this afternoon, the factory has invited a doctor to sit for a consultation, you should go over and have a look! ”
Hearing the supervisor say to see a doctor, he was so frightened that Weibot hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!" Mr. Supor, I'm really fine!! ”
At the end of the 19th century, the medical environment in Europe was, if you really had to describe it, "expensive", "very expensive", "very expensive", "very expensive......
It can be said that doctors are the exclusive domain of the rich, and ordinary people avoid them. Despite the good income of the machine shop, the average worker could not afford the huge medical expenses.
There was no way, the industrial level in the 19th century was limited, the production cost of Western medicine remained high, and it was a seller's market. After Ferdinand crossed, it was not that he did not have the idea of medicine, but he did not study chemical engineering, there was no way to improve the process, and the cost still could not be reduced.
Don't say that in the 19th century, even in the 21st century, ordinary people in many places still shy away from hospitals?? Regardless of major illnesses and minor illnesses, the messy expenses add up, and it can easily consume a month's salary. There is still no major problem, if there is a serious illness, an ordinary family will immediately face economic difficulties.
Of course, Supor also knew about this situation, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry! This time, I am only an intern from the medical university, mainly to accumulate experience, and the diagnosis is free! ”
Hearing that it was free, Weibot's worried heart calmed down a lot, nodded, and left with the director. After living for most of his life, he has never seen a serious doctor, at most he has only come into contact with a local doctor in the countryside, and he also wants to see it, even if he is only an intern.
But when they arrived at the place, they found that there was a long queue of people from the medical room to the corridor outside, and what was going on inside, Wibot didn't know. Looking at the opponents outside who were only increasing and not decreasing, he knew that it would not be his turn this afternoon.
After thinking about it, Wibot still decided to tell the supervisor to forget it, anyway, he was not sick, so he didn't need to waste time, so he said: "Mr. Supor, you see so many people, and I am not sick, so I don't need to trouble other doctors?" ”
Supor looked at the flow of people and said uncertainly, "You really have no problem?" You must know that now is a good opportunity, it is organized by the factory, and if you are sick, you can treat it quickly, and the cost will be much lower than outside! It's a big deal to wait in line for a little longer, not today, and come back tomorrow? ”
Looking at the warm-hearted Supor, Weibot was about to cry, and said in embarrassment: "I'm really not sick!" Mainly last night, my wife and I talked about the national debt, and today I am going to find someone to inquire, so I was a little distracted in the morning! ”
Supor asked, "Really?" ”
Wibot said with great certainty: "True! ”
Supor thought for a moment and said, "That's good! You write a 500-word review and leave it to me, and this matter is over! Remember, the review must be profound! ”
Hearing that he was going to write a review, Weibot's face collapsed suddenly, and he couldn't wait to slap himself, he knew that he was going to do this, so he couldn't say it! He asked with a wry smile: "Ah! Can you not write it? ”
Supor glared and said, "What do you say?" ”
"Do you need me to remind you of the regulations in the factory?"
"Also, you're deserted in the usual literacy education, aren't you?? The things that are said in this newspaper are clear, and I won't read them myself, do I still need to inquire?? ”
Listening to Supor's words, Wibot was taken aback and said, "It's all in the newspaper?? ”
After listening to Wibot's words, Supor was unhappy and criticized: "I usually teach you to read more books and read more newspapers!" One or two are not the same thing, Wibot is now lonely and unheard! ”
Listening to Supor's words, Weibot was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. News newspapers, the factory is a daily order, the management is also often asked everyone to read more books, read more newspapers, (mainly to facilitate brainwashing) the factory also has a special reading room.
However, like many ordinary workers, Weibot didn't think that reading books and newspapers had anything to do with him, those were only for managers, and it was enough for ordinary people to read a few big characters.
Books and newspapers in the reading room have become the exclusive domain of the management, and even the occasional worker who goes in to see them is rare. So even though the national debt has been rumored, Wibot still doesn't know that it has been published in detail in the newspaper!
Knowing that writing a review has become a foregone conclusion, Wibot does not dare to reason with the supervisor, after all, it is his own fault. Hurriedly rushed back to work, he didn't want to be deducted from his salary!
It may be that the matter has been solved, and Wibbot's work in the afternoon went very smoothly, and not a single mistake has occurred.
Weibote, who was in a good mood, did not choose to continue to work overtime today, and walked into the reading room with his employee ID card as soon as he got off work, which was the first time he took the initiative to come over. I borrowed the newspapers of the last few days about the national debt and took it straight home.
Thanks to Ferdinand's compulsory literacy education, Wibot has also learned to use common words and can barely read newspapers freely.
When he got home, he began to study word by word, for fear of missing a word. It took more than two hours for Wibot to finish reading the content about the national debt.
The content of the newspaper is very sensational, but the level of Wibot is limited, and he can only understand a general meaning. Even so, Wibot decided that he had to buy treasury bonds, which should be regarded as supporting national construction.
Anyway, there are Royal Bank and Union Bank that promise to cover the bottom, even if the money is urgent, it can be exchanged immediately, and there is no interest, so it looks similar to the nature of depositing money in the bank, and there is no interest on early withdrawals.
The Royal Bank is the king's, and the Union Bank is said to have been jointly founded by domestic industry and commerce, and I heard that the machinery factory where I work also has shares in it, and it is not the owner of bad money, and its reputation is reliable!
After making up his mind, Wibot was going to wait for his wife to come back and discuss which one was cost-effective.
