Chapter 491: Dedicated to all those who want to work hard
Ay......
sighed in his heart again, and figured out the reason for this, but Xiaohui didn't blame his girlfriend in the slightest.
There is no other reason, because he is the same, the same insecure.
The poor soil factory is a typical sweatshop, where it is all mechanized manual labor, and each worker is part of the mechanical assembly line, replacing those functional parts that the current machinery has not yet realized, day after day, year after year, with the same actions, doing the same things.
It's a very boring experience, and many of them are accompanied by noise, heat, harmful gases, and other negative states.
At first, newcomers may still find it interesting, but within a week, they will immediately feel a strong sense of boredom, eager to leave the place, and want to smash the entire production line.
However, in order to make a living, for that meager wage, they still had to endure and continue to turn into a thoughtless part, working for the big capitalists behind the factory, earning profits for them, and contributing to their good life.
Yes, the salary is very meager, although Xiaohui can now get four or five thousand a month, sometimes in the peak season, even seven or eight thousand, but that is all overtime, if it is really calculated according to five days a week, eight hours a day, he only has a basic salary of two thousand a month, five insurances, one housing fund and one deduction, there are more than 1,000 left.
Four or five thousand wages come from this? That's more than 100 hours of overtime per month, 1.5 times, 2 times the overtime pay! How did seven or eight thousand come? That means more than 250 hours of overtime a month! Every penny and every cent of overtime pay is naked hard-earned money!
And because the inflation rate far exceeds the increase in wages, the money is becoming more and more unspent, just like Xiaohui's current salary card of more than 30,000 deposits, which cannot bring him a sense of security.
After a wedding, the money has to go with the wind, and if you want to go to your girlfriend's hometown to hold another one, it depends on whether the gift money received this time is enough.
When he first entered the city, Xiaohui also had a dream, he wanted to rely on his own hard work to buy a house, buy a car, marry a wife in this third-tier city, and then the family got rid of the identity of the countryman and became a high-grade city person.
But after so many years, so many things, and so many people, this dream has long been thrown into the corner by him.
At the current housing price, even if he doesn't eat or drink for ten years, he can't afford a toilet, and if he has a car, he can buy a domestic one after saving a few years, but what can he do if he doesn't have a house and buy a car? Running Didi?
Of course, Xiaohui also thought about what would happen after she got married in the future.
After getting married, the factory dormitory must not be able to stay, then I have to take Xiaoyu out to rent a house to live, fortunately, the factory is located in the suburbs, and the surrounding rent is not expensive, the two-bedroom and one living room are only 1,200 yuan a month, and the combined salary of myself and Xiaoyu is nearly 10,000 a month, which is affordable, and many husbands and wives in the factory are renting houses outside.
And there are elementary and junior high schools in the suburbs, although the quality of teaching is not comparable to the city, but if you have children in the future, you won't have no place to go to school, even if you don't have time to take care of the children at work on weekdays, you can send them back to your hometown.
Hey, in fact, it's still money in the end.
If you have money, Xiaoyu will marry me, she will not be pushed, she will be able to live a better life if she is rich, she can buy a house and a car, and she can bring her own children if she is rich, so that she will not become a left-behind child......
Why don't you want to make money? However, making money is not something you can earn if you say you can earn it.
Xiaohui dropped out of junior high school to work, worked for so many years, and accumulated a certain amount of social experience, the way to make a lot of money in this world is extremely limited, most of which are written in the Criminal Law, and the remaining legal methods often have technical or capital restrictions.
If you want to make a lot of money, you must either have knowledge, ability, and technology, or you have the capital to do business, make investments, and use money to make money.
But there is no doubt that I don't have either, let alone the "luck" of those mysterious mask people who won the lottery jackpot, and this life is almost like this, and there is no possibility of making a lot of money at all.
Xiaohui is a bit of a macho person, he yearns for a life where he works hard to make money outside, his wife takes care of the children at home to do housework, and he has a hot meal to eat when he goes home every day.
However, it is obvious that even if he is 5,000 yuan a month, even in the suburbs of Zhengcheng, it is not enough to support the family, and if he wants the family to live a little human, he has to earn at least 10,000 yuan a month.
But how good is such a salary?
In a poor soil disease factory, you can't even get the line length to manage a production line on weekdays! If you want to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, you have to be at least a higher-level officer, and you have to learn to pat the sycophants of the high-level managers from those treasure islands, follow them, and agree with their fallacy that the treasure island is stronger than the mainland.
As a straight-tempered person, Xiaohui thinks he can't do this.
Finally, the roommates were all busy, and it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening, and after someone said something, they turned off the lights in the dormitory, after all, everyone still had to go to the morning shift at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Xiaohui sighed, and like the other roommates, he lit up the Dream Helmet in his hand and put it on his head.
The low-end Dream Helmet also costs 18,888 yuan, which is really expensive for a salaried class like Xiaohui, and it is not in line with his daily consumption habits.
Originally, although he had often heard of this Red Star brand dream helmet, he was seduced by the magical virtual reality world boasted in various public opinion channels, but because of its high price, Xiaohui still retreated.
At the beginning, the good dream helmet was not popular among the workers of the poor soil disease factory, and only a few people were fed and the whole family was not hungry, and there were no worries, and people who liked to pursue novelty bought and used it, and bragged about it everywhere.
But just more than half a year ago, the third phase of the virtual reality world was completed, the game "Little Adventure" was launched, and the dream helmet became popular in the factory.
The reason is also very simple, because now you can earn money by playing virtual reality games inside!
People die for money, birds die for food, a "heart of the world" can be sold for more than 3,000 at the beginning, and now it has risen all the way to more than 5,000, just a few are sold, and the cost of buying helmets will be earned, and it will be pure profit in the future.
Although everyone is not highly educated, they are not fools, they still understand the basic business principles, and they are still willing to invest this money in advance.
So at that time, Xiaohui also followed the trend, took out the savings he had saved on weekdays, and went to the city to buy a good dream helmet of his own.
It's just that although he is young, he is also healthy and strong, but he is not good at this kind of confrontational game, and he has been playing for half a year, until now, he has accumulated two "hearts of the world", and after extraction, he has made a profit of more than 6,800 yuan, which is regarded as recovering one-third of the helmet investment.
Of course, he also saw the activities of the "Little Adventure World Competition", but he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of those masters, and he didn't even meet the registration conditions for obtaining ten "World Hearts" alone, so he didn't have the idea of joining in the fun at all.
What he thinks about is to take advantage of the current price increase, play a few more "World Hearts", and earn back the money from buying helmets, if he can play more and earn more, it will be better.
Well, I've got to work harder today! It's even more lewd to play! Hide if you can, avoid if you can, and never fight hard with others......
While thinking about it, a tidal wave of sleepiness came up......
