Chapter 103: The poor in the city have a hard time
"Brother Hongsheng~, I really didn't know before, if you go to the dock to resist the bag, you have to worship the mountain......"
When Wu Hongsheng heard this, he laughed at that time.
"It's called, every line has a line."
"No matter what industry you are in, you have to worship the mountain and recognize your ancestors. Like those who pick up dung in the county, they all have a guild. Under the auspices of the guild boss, they assigned their own areas, and only managed their own area. Whoever accidentally crosses the line and picks up the dung in other people's areas is going to make a feud. ”
Hearing his man talk about the dung in the county, Wu Guifang showed an indescribable expression at that time.
Why did there be gang guilds in this ancient society for picking up dung?
"Brother Hongsheng, I collect dung and pick up dung in the county every day, can I really make money?"
When Wu Hongsheng heard this, he immediately understood that his old wife was really stupid by him.
Anyone who works in the fields knows this. Fermented manure is a good thing for the field.
When there is fertilizer and water in the field, the soil will become fertilized. The wheat and rice that grow will be more, dense, and delicious.
The people in this countryside are basically very shrewd. And it's very calculating.
In order to prevent fertilizer water from flowing into the fields of outsiders.
Even if they have urine and feces in their stomachs, they will hold it hard and go home.
If any child spills feces and urine outside, their parents will be furious.
will also blame vigorously, the child is not sensible.
Wu Hongsheng has lived here for decades, and the number of times he has seen it is no less than forty or fifty times.
For rural people, the means of production and means of subsistence are extremely inadequate.
Those things are scarce.
Whoever dares to spoil it will be blamed by the whole family.
……
knows that his daughter-in-law hasn't been out for a long time. I don't know about these things now. Wu Hongsheng thought about it, and was ready to explain these truths to her clearly.
"Daughter-in-law, you don't live in the county, so you don't know some of the situation in the county."
"This is picking up rags in the county seat, collecting dung and picking up dung,...... Their lives are actually better than those of them countrymen. ”
"We countrymen are facing the loess with our backs to the sky every day. If the wind and rain are good, the weather is good every month. Then, the harvest in our field will be good. Let's watch the sky and eat. And those people in the county who collect dung and pick up dung, they collect it every morning. After harvesting, he turned his hand and sold it to those farmers whose land was not fertile. Or a large landowner with thousands of acres of farmland. ”
"They say that picking up dung is a business without capital. With one turn, you can make a decent profit. Therefore, those who take a big dung fork every day and go to each house to collect dung can still eat white rice and refined meat regularly. ”
Hearing him say this, Wu Guifang thought about it and nodded.
I see......
Wu Guifang used to be a native of an urban village.
No one wants the dung water in this urban village.
Especially the contents of the septic tank, who would want to sell them to those farmers?
Farmers are now using fertilizers.
How convenient, easy, and simple it is to use chemical fertilizers.
If you fertilize the field and sprinkle manure. That's not to let people, you have to go to manure beforehand. When fertilizing, how many wooden buckets do you have to use?
And the smell of feces is particularly unpleasant.
After the economy developed, people in the countryside became more sophisticated.
Who wants to save a few dollars on fertilizer and smell that unusually bad smell?
Moreover, it looks dirty to do this......
Wu Guifang sometimes really thinks that after the times progress, many backward industries will be eliminated.
"Brother Hongsheng, it seems that ,...... It's better to live in the city. ”
"We live in the countryside and in the mountains, we can't make any money, and we have to suffer so many losses......"
Hearing this, Wu Hongsheng stretched out his hand at that time and gently touched her head.
"Daughter-in-law, life in the city is not as easy as you imagined."
"If I have an official and a half-job, or if we are still like back then, and the family has always been prosperous, then we are all blessed now."
"However, people in the city who don't have a half-official position, no social status, and no money will not have a good life."
Hearing him say this, Wu Guifang nodded lightly.
And rightfully so.
No matter how prosperous the city is, there are always a few chaotic and backward urban villages.
There are actually good and bad urban villages.
There are more poor people sitting here.
As Wu Guifang, who once opened a ragged shop in an urban village, she has seen such a family with five children with her own eyes.
The little couple has been fighting for their son all along.
As a result, after giving birth to 5 in a row, those 5 were all daughters.
This child after another girl, they didn't want to raise it well.
The milk powder that those children usually eat is bought from the spelling stars.
Eating and drinking, all of them are bargains.
They don't earn much, and the sum of the two of them is only six or seven thousand yuan a month.
Six or seven thousand yuan to support a family of 7 people, for them, it is really too difficult and difficult.
In the landlord village in a big city, the monthly rent is almost more than 1,000 yuan.
The worst thing is that it costs 800 yuan a month.
As soon as the rent of 800 yuan is removed, the young couple still have to consider, water and electricity bills, sanitation management fees, as well as the children's milk powder money, and the living expenses of the whole family.
If the child is a little older, they have to work hard to send the child to school.
They don't make much money, and they have to calculate it carefully every month.
So, over time, they became more and more pitiful. The days are getting more and more embarrassing.
People who go to the city to work have lived their lives like this. Wu Guifang once sighed.
She still has a little understanding of such a small couple.
But those who can establish themselves in their hometowns basically don't go out.
Unless you go out to work, you have a decent salary.
The salary is a lot and profitable, so they will find a way to stay in the city.
Thinking of the life she used to work in, Wu Guifang suddenly thought deeply and nodded lightly at Wu Hongsheng.
"Brother Hongsheng, I suddenly understood that some people in this city are indeed not having a good time......
"The water system in this city is not very good. If there is a plague, then the whole city will be easily infected......"
