“Normalization()”

Wu Zhongyuan’s eyes and ears are clear, and he can hear clearly what the people in the room are saying. He originally just wanted to scoop some water for the chickens to drink, but he forgot to pick up the water scoop so they could see and hear the conversation in the room. , hurriedly poured the water in the water scoop into the sink of the chicken coop, and then a whirlwind blew up, and took the opportunity to drop the water scoop.

The people in the room didn’t look carefully, they just thought the water scoop was being blown by the wind, only the little girl saw it clearly, and kept shouting that she had indeed seen the water scoop pouring water into the sink earlier.

At the end, whether the people in the room came out to see Wu Zhongyuan didn’t know, because he left first, walking through the wall, and returned to the streets of the village to continue wandering.

After walking not too far, he found another mule. The rope that tied the mule was entangled on the stake. Although there was still a lot of water in the water tank, the mule could not reach it. Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan went over to help the mule wrap it around the stake. The rope was bypassed, and he could not see others mistreating livestock, whether intentionally or not, be it livestock or poultry, it was their fate to be slaughtered and eaten for meat, but they belonged to the absolute weak, even if they could not escape their fate, when they were alive Also try not to abuse them, after all they have no room for resistance.

It is very common in rural areas to gamble on happiness during New Years and festivals. Wu Zhongyuan can clearly perceive where there are many people, and follow it. There are people in a room playing a card game called tractor, which is not very big. But it should be enough for detention, because more than 1,000 yuan in gambling is enough for detention.

The essence of gambling is a fluke mentality, trying to get something for nothing. It’s okay to just lose a little money. The most terrible thing is that it will make people lose their down-to-earth and hard-working motivation to get rich. Working hard for a month will make people feel that it is meaningless to work hard, and it is easy for people to develop the habit of indulging in leisure.

You can also see a lot of truth by watching people play cards. It doesn’t mean that it is clearly unreasonable but has to be far-fetched. Take this card game as an example, there are two betting methods: clear and black. What card, you have a bottom in your heart, and then bet.

Black just doesn’t know what hand he has, so he doesn’t know what to do, so he makes a bet.

The black bet one yuan, and the bright bet double, because the risk of the former is greater, and the risk of the latter is smaller. If you want to get the same return, the party with the lower risk must invest more.

From small to big, it can be found that high returns must be accompanied by high risks, but it must be noted that high risks do not necessarily bring high returns. Wu Zhongyuan stayed in the house for more than an hour, and the conclusion after observation is that the more What does this mean?

This shows that it is a very stupid way to take risks and be big and small. You must not entrust your destiny to luck, and stay away from financial management and investment with gambling and speculation.

There are also a lot of people next door to playing cards, but these people are not playing cards, but are smoking and drinking tea. They are not small teacups, but large enamel jars, and they are not drinking any good tea. This is a group of farmers. The workers are getting together to discuss which construction site to go to work in the coming year.

Because many people smoked, the door was closed, and the room was smoky. Wu Zhongyuan didn’t want to stay any longer, but after thinking about it, he stayed and listened quietly from the side.

It was boring at first, but the more I listened to Wu Zhongyuan, the more shocked, because the income of migrant workers far exceeded his imagination. In his impression, migrant workers are all vulnerable groups, poor people who are owed wages, and their wages are very high. Low, but after listening to these people’s conversations, I found that the wages of migrant workers are not low. They are roughly divided into small workers, large workers and skilled workers. The wages of small workers are one hundred and sixteen a day, and the large workers, that is, bricklayers, can get two hundred and sixteen. , while steel workers and scaffolders are more than three hundred a day.

What is this concept?

A small worker can earn about 5,000 a month, and a large worker can earn more than 7,000 or 8,000, or even more than 10,000. In fact, such a wage standard has far exceeded the office workers in the city. Those who think they are urbanites The office workers are really not qualified to look down on others.

However, giving and receiving are always equal. These people without exception have thick calluses on their hands.

The bones of hands and feet are deformed to varying degrees, and the condition of internal organs is not very good, especially the lungs and liver. Although the blackening of the lungs is related to their smoking, the fundamental reason is that their working environment is bad, whether it is cement or white ash dust. All are poisonous.

Liver problems are mainly because they eat poorly. Most of the food sold in the city has pesticide and hormone residues. Long-term consumption of this kind of food will definitely damage the liver. Also, the quality of drinking water is not good. The tap water is disinfected with chlorine dioxide. Do you really think that boiled tap water is the best drinking water?

If so, who will spend money to buy mineral water.

In addition, their poor health cannot be entirely blamed on the working environment, diet and drinking water. Their own living habits also have a large part of the reason. Most of these people drink alcohol for a long time, and most of them drink cheap blended liquor, which is harmful to the liver. bigger.

Not long after, two people came in outside. They were two middle-aged men who came to visit. After entering the door, they took out cigarettes and distributed them, and then chatted with everyone. These two people had no calluses on their hands, and their complexions were better than those in the room. .

After listening to a few words, I realized that these two were the bath workers in the bathtub, and they both took home more than 100,000 yuan this year.

This conversion is seven or eight thousand a month, which is far higher than the petty bourgeoisie who sits in the office and drinks Starbucks.

However, all of their money was made by physical effort. Modern young people generally lack the spirit of enduring hardships and always hope to obtain the greatest benefits at the least cost.

When a group of men get together, the topic of chat will eventually be brought to the woman. When they go out, they go out for half a year or even a year. They can’t hold back. What everyone is talking about is who was caught and punished. After spending five thousand yuan, they all feel sorry for him having to work for a month in vain.

What everyone cares about is money, but Wu Zhongyuan knows that three generations of this person’s descendants are over. Now is the era of big data. Once he has received public security or criminal punishment, he will leave a criminal record, and he will no longer be able to issue a certificate of no crime, which will affect his descendants. In fact, the employment and progress are not limited to this. Modern people need to use ID cards wherever they go, buy train tickets, and use accommodation, and all travel records and accommodation records are permanently retained on the internal network. , If you need to handle the case, you can check it at any time, but it is not allowed to spread, but who does not have a good friend in the relevant department, if you really want to check, the accommodation and travel records ten or twenty years ago can be transferred, so you are doing anything. Before anything, you have to think about whether you can bear the worst result, if you can bear it, then do it, and vice versa.

Wu Zhongyuan is not an elegant person, but he is not a vulgar person. He doesn’t like the topic of the crowd, so he went back to the street and continued to hang out. It was past two o’clock in the afternoon, and there were matchmakers on the street leading young people around. He was more interested in the custom of blind date, so he followed another young man and followed him to the woman’s house.

Halfway through the road, I met a group of people. In the crowd were two quarrelsome women, one fat and one thin. The fat one was scolding the thin one, and the scolding was ugly, as if she was a dead man and seduced her man, while the thin one was scolding the thin one. Swearing and crying loudly, only to say that there is no such thing at all, everyone in the audience is one-sided to help the fat woman, helping her to scold the thin woman, only that the thin woman’s family is an outsider, without a man If they don’t obey women’s ethics, they will drive their whole family away if they are not honest.

Wu Zhongyuan stood outside the crowd and watched for a while, and he was basically sure that the thin woman was wronged, but he didn’t take action. There were too many similar things, dozens or hundreds of things could happen every second, and he couldn’t help all.

Due to the liveliness of watching for a while, the young man who followed earlier had already gone far from the matchmaker. Wu Zhongyuan had nowhere to go. He saw the village committee office not far away, and the stove pipe on the window was still smoking, so he went there. went.

It stands to reason that there should be no official business on the fifth day of the new year, but there is really business here. There are construction workers in work clothes sitting in the office, as well as a few villagers. The old man who speaks should be It’s the village head.

After listening to it for a while, Wu Zhongyuan roughly knew what everyone was talking about. These construction workers seemed to be engaged in wind power generation. After the year, they were going to build a power generation tower on the land of these farmers, which involved the issue of land occupation and was negotiating.

The negotiation between the two parties was not very smooth. The village chief was responsible for explaining the policy to the villagers, and proposed that the compensation standard should be unified, and the compensation should be 800 yuan per mu of land per year.

However, the villagers did not agree with this compensation standard. They only said that whoever received how much, which was far more than 800 yuan, and whoever took more.

In the end, it broke up, leaving only the village chief and the construction staff. Through their conversation, Wu Zhongyuan realized that it was not the villagers who were talking about it, but that someone really took more money.

The construction workers complained that the village chief was not reliable, and the families that gave more money couldn’t keep their mouths shut, and even came out to talk nonsense when they got cheap.

Wu Zhongyuan grew up in the countryside. He knows the situation in the countryside best. There are no secrets in the countryside. Zhang San told Li Si a word, and everyone in the village knew it before it got dark.

Wu Zhongyuan was not interested in this kind of thing, and he didn’t want to listen to it anymore, so he went out and walked around the street. There are many foods in modern times that were not available in ancient times, let alone peanuts. Although there are oranges and apples, they are not as modern as they are. It was delicious, he took a few handfuls of peanuts and a few apples, peeled it from nowhere, and figured out where to go.

He doesn’t really want to stay in the village anymore, but the city hasn’t started work yet, and he can’t see anything when he goes there. Moreover, although he grew up in the countryside, he has never observed it from a top-down perspective. I can’t finish reading it in a while, and he has plenty of time. He can observe a few more days from the countryside, so that he can see more comprehensively and objectively…
