During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 79: The turbulent times

Curno is a young man who lives in rural Ukraine in Eastern Europe. His family has a small orchard. Difficult to maintain the family's livelihood.

Courno also has two older brothers, he is the youngest son in the family. Although his parents and brothers take care of him, he is 18 years old after all this year.

He needs to start planning for his future. Because the current economic situation in Ukraine is not good, half of the country ’s banks have gone bankrupt, and even the government has lowered the minimum monthly wage of employed workers to $ 42.5 a month.

The small orchard ’s maintenance of the family ’s livelihood is already stretched, especially after his elder brother married his wife last year, the family burden will be heavier.

And her sister-in-law is pregnant, and after her nephew (niece) is born, the burden on the family will be more difficult.

Curno wandered in the field, plucking a dog's tail and waving it irritably.

Do you want to be a soldier? Kurno thought that if he went to the army at least, he would be able to manage his three meals a day and his clothes. There is a little allowance every month. Although not much, he can also subsidize the family.

Or go to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine? I heard that some jobs can still be found there.

But Kurno does n’t know what he can do, and he seems to be doing nothing but trying his best. The education level is only in junior high school. After graduating from junior high school, he started to help his family do farm work.

He would drive a tractor, repair a tractor and some basic circuits and electric welding. Because these basic skills are not available, they cannot survive in the countryside.

It is impossible to find a repairman after any agricultural machinery breaks down. In that case, more than half of a year ’s income must be given to the repairman.

I wonder if there is any need to repair the tractor in Kiev? I wonder if repairing a car is the same as repairing a tractor? If it were the same, you might be able to do car repairs.

Courno thought about these things one by one, and walked toward the house. But something unpleasant happened on the road, and he was almost entangled by several gangsters in the village.

That's the **** who do n’t have jobs. Every day, they steal things everywhere for money, or go to the old factory area that is 30 kilometers away to find building materials and steel that can be demolished to exchange money.

The plant was established in the Soviet era. At that time, it was a tractor plant. It had been operating for ten years since its disintegration, and finally closed down.

Courno ’s father used to be an employee of a tractor factory. This village was originally a family area of ​​the factory. But after the factory closed, the days became more and more difficult.

Just like now, those unemployed young people are idle all day long. There is not much employment for young people in a village of 3,000 people.

If you are not willing to work hard to do farm work, then you can only mix with the gangsters in these villages.

"Go away!" When Kurno was entangled by a few rogues, a thunderous voice came from behind. Kurno's burly elder brother was staring at the hooligans with a stick of thick wrists.

He roared like Hong Zhong: "Go away, you bastards! Stay away from my brother!"

Curno ’s elder brother used to be a soldier, and he was the kind who had killed people on the battlefield. When the terrorists in Eastern Europe were most rampant, almost most CIS countries were harassed.

The thirty-year-old man carrying a thick wooden stick is still very daunting. Several hooligans walked away scoldingly. Originally they wanted to blackmail the only one hundred hryvnya on Curno (one hundred hryvnya is about 25 RMB).

"You need to be cruel to treat this kind of person! Kurno, if necessary, you need to bring a knife to your body!" The eldest brother ran away the little rogues and patted his third brother's shoulder Because of too much force, Kurno's shoulder hurt.

"Tap, tap, brother." Kurno rubbed his shoulders and grinned.

"Why are they pestering you?" Big Brother asked as he went home with Kurno.

"They saw the money in my pocket." Curno said a little depressed.

"That one hundred hryvnya? Today is your eighteenth birthday, this is our birthday gift for you, you can go to town to buy something you like, I remember there is a baseball cap you like very much, The price is just right. "Brother took a big step toward the house and asked.

Courno looked at his elder brother's aging face when he was only thirty years old, and he was a little bit talkative, until he saw his house that was a little dilapidated but maintained in a clean place in front of him. Na said: "I think the family needs this money more than me. After all, birthdays are celebrated every year."

"And your elder brother will need to spend more money after your child is born. Save it."

Curno's words made Big Brother stunned. Finally, Big Brother stared at his brother for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sighed and said, "This is your adult day."

Cournot smiled: "It doesn't matter."

Because it ’s Kurno ’s birthday, the family prepared a rich dinner today.

Mother and sister-in-law made beetroot soup, freshly grilled lieba, yellow fried sausage and stewed pork mixed vegetables. This is a very sumptuous dinner, which is usually prepared at home only during the holidays.

Father came back late, because he only went to the city 40 kilometers away today to buy fertilizer.

At night, the whole family sat at the dining table and talked and laughed while eating a big meal. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Everyone is blessing Curno and the youngest son in the family to grow up.

Only Curno himself clenched his fists under the table, and when his sister-in-law put a piece of fried and fragrant sausage into the Curno dinner plate, Curno suddenly whispered: "I'm going to be a soldier."

"What ?!" Kurno's mother suddenly raised the volume to the octave: "What are you talking about ?! You say it again !!!"

Curno looked at his parents ’white hair and the sumptuous dinner on the table. He seemed to have made up his mind. He said aloud," I am going to be a soldier! "

Courno ’s father first stopped his emotional wife, and then calmly asked: "Why?"

"Because, because I ’m an adult. I ca n’t stay at home for lunch, and the income from the orchard is not high. Dad, when you went to buy fertilizer today, I saw that my mother almost took most of the money It ’s all taken out. But now the fruit ca n’t be sold at a price, and people in the city do n’t have much money to buy fruit. The price of fruit is getting lower every year, I ca n’t stay at home! ”

The more excited Kurno said, "I do n’t need to prepare my food at home if I go to work as a soldier. The army will provide meals and clothes. There are hundreds of hryvnya allowances every month. As long as I save , So that I can bring back a sum of money when I retire, like my elder brother, I can buy a new tractor for my family! "

Boom! The eldest brother slapped on the table. The elder brother who was always silent and loved his brother looked at Kurno with a very fierce expression and shouted: "Daydreaming! Do you think you are so mixed in the army? Just your character and physique , Will die at any time in the military camp! There is no heaven. "

"Especially you forgot the previous war with Russia? For the Latveria's new energy, Russia has fought against us! How many border cities in Ukraine have been destroyed? How many soldiers have been killed!"

Courno said weakly to his fierce brother: "But now there is a truce."

"But it is possible to go to war at any time!" Kurno's mother was very loud, and she was extremely reluctant to enter the barracks with her young son: "If you want to be a soldier unless I die! I don't want to look at me Son died in battle on the battlefield! "

The family is extremely opposed to Curno ’s decision, but Curno is very stubborn and said: "But what do I do as a soldier? I ca n’t go around like those hooligans. I do n’t want to be like them . Even if I become a factory worker, I hope to be able to straighten my chest. "

"Or I will go to Kiev to find my second brother and let him help me find a job in Kiev." Kurno mentioned the second brother who works in Kiev.

But my father snorted coldly: "Your second brother is only working in a bakery in Kiev. Are you going to be a bakery apprentice?"

"At least better than wasting food at home." Curno has the stubbornness of young people.

However, the older brother who had murdered Curno had a silence for a while and then said, "Actually, the second son called me today."

Father snorted coldly: "He still remembers this family? In a big city like Kiev, he has already forgotten it, so he did n’t even come back for Christmas last year."

The elder brother smiled bitterly: "Dad, train tickets are not cheap. The second child is only an apprentice at the bakery. The monthly salary is very low. The expenses of living in Kiev are very large. He can pay for the tickets, but the tickets for the return will have to be paid for by the family. He just wants to save the expenses of the family. "

Father hummed and didn't speak, the old man didn't seem very satisfied with this reason.

The eldest brother did not want to persuade the stubborn father, but turned his head to Kurno and said: "Your second brother made a phone call, there is a lot of people in Kiev to recruit a job, and the monthly salary is not low." /

Courno shines: "About what? How much is the monthly salary?"

Brother said hesitantly: "It's about building a new high-speed railway. The monthly salary can be three hundred dollars a month, and it is settled in dollars instead of hryvnya."

Courno ’s sister-in-law is a high school graduate, and she has a little knowledge. She said a little strangely: "High-speed railway? Ukraine still has money to build high-speed railway?"

"If the government has the money to build this, it would be better to rescue the banks that are going to fail. Last month I originally wanted to save money, but the queue of people in front of the bank was all running to run cash deposits. Yes. I was scared that I could only get the money back, and I did n’t dare to deposit it in the bank. "Sister-in-law did not believe the news.

"And three hundred dollars a month? This salary is too high!"

Courno was very excited when he heard the monthly salary of three hundred dollars a month. This is a high-paying job, and he doesn't care whether it is hard to build a railway. As long as the sweat can be exchanged for compensation, he does not mind keeping more sweat.

But the analysis of the sister-in-law also makes sense. The construction of the railway must be a national plan, but where does the country now get the money? Don't it be a scam? Thinking of Kurno's heart was half cold here.

But the eldest brother explained quickly: "It ’s not the Ukrainian government ’s money, this money is a loan from the Latveria. It is the presidency of the new Eastern European Commonwealth that our country has joined. Years of operation rights, Latveria pays for technology and equipment purchased from Rand Group in the United States. "

"It seems that what Super-high Speed Railway system is to be built. I do n’t quite understand this, but I guess it is the same thing as the high-speed rail of China ’s Toyo Germany." Big Brother ’s understanding of the Super-high Speed Railway system is not enough. The high-speed rail is confusing.

But it does n’t matter, as long as Curno knows this is true, it ’s not a scam.

Curno looked at his father with determination and said, "Dad, please let me go to Kiev! Please!"

……………………

It is most convenient to take a train from Kurno ’s hometown to Kiev. The train was built during the Soviet period, and the platform has not been modified for so many years, so it looks very old.

The train ’s overhang is high, but the platform is low. This makes passengers on the train have to climb a narrow and steep staircase on the train. After dragging his parcel, Curno took a lot of effort to squeeze on the train. He did not allow his family to see him off, because the train station was too far away from where he lived, and the transportation expenses for more than one person were also large.

He was looking for his seat with a ticket, 46., 46, ah! found it!

But in front of Curno there is a girl dragging a heavy suitcase and wants to put the salute on the luggage rack. But the salute was too heavy, and the girl failed to lift the suitcase after several attempts.

"I'm coming!" When the girl failed again, Kurno reached out and helped the girl smoothly push the luggage onto the luggage rack. Then he put his luggage up.

"Thank you!" the girl smiled and thanked Curno. She was wearing a loose black and white T-shirt and trousers of the same color. She was tall and had a little freckles on her face, but her facial features were very delicate.

Even if you do n’t deliberately trim your own eyelashes, the girl ’s eyelashes are very long and beautiful. Underneath the eyelashes are a pair of green eyes, just like the best emeralds, they are pure and beautiful.

It ’s the first time for Curno to be thanked by such a beautiful girl, and he was somewhat at a loss to answer: "No, I mean, you ’re welcome."

With two thousand hryvnya in his pocket, Kurno's heartbeat was quickly sitting in his seat.

The beautiful girl I just saw sat directly beside me. This made Kurno couldn't help but glance at her.

The girl glanced back at Curno and said with a smile: "Why not welcome me to sit here? I bought the ticket."

Cournot stuttered and said: "Of course, of course."

The girl seemed to see the honest boy like Curno for the first time and said to him with interest: "My name is Katyusha, what is your name?"

"Curno, friends call me Curno." Curno quickly replied.

"Are you going to Kiev?" Katyusha asked curiously.

"Yes." Kurno answered somewhat dryly.

The train started and moved in the direction of Kiev. A pair of young people sitting in the same car communicated with each other. To be precise, Katyusha asked, Kurno said.

In the process, Katyusha figured out Kurno ’s purpose in going to Kiev. At the same time, he also told Kurno himself, a graduate of Kiev University.

Courno looked at Katyusha with some envy, which made the girl feel a little embarrassed.

Katyusha looked at the flying scenery outside the window and said to Curno: "Curno, can you not look at me like this?"

Courno said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It's just a graduate of Kiev University." Courno didn't say the second half of the sentence, just praised it.

Katyusha gave Kurno a funny look. Few boys looked at themselves not because of their beauty, but because of their knowledge.

Curno continued: "I just think you are amazing, Katyusha. After graduating from Kiev University, you are still willing to go back to your hometown and improve local agricultural products instead of staying in Kiev."

Katyusha shook her head and said helplessly: “It ’s just a lot of money. Now the world ’s seed industry is monopolized by several oligarchs. Ukraine does not cultivate its own grain seeds. Our farmers are just lambs.”

"In fact, not only the farmers in our country, in fact, the farmers in most countries are dough that is kneaded by large grain companies and seeds. After all, without seeds, we can do nothing. The country has no money to invest Research in this area. "

Ka Qiusha was helpless and even said a little sadly.

"So, are you going back to Kiev now? No, I'm not saying you gave up anything. I just asked at will." Kurno felt like he said something stupid because Katyusha had just stared at herself 'S eyes are not good.

Katyusha turned her eyes to the window: "No, I was determined to make our country and our people's lives better when I was in college. Especially the farmers, because I was born in the countryside. I I know how hard it is for farmers, especially now that the national economic situation is getting worse. "

"I always want to do something, but I can't always do it." Katyusha turned her eyes away from the window and turned to Kurno. "You are going to Kiev to participate in the recruitment of Super-high Speed Railway system. Do you know the significance of this railway? "

Curno was silent for a while, then shook his head honestly.

Katyusha said with a longing light in her eyes: "This will connect the entire New Eastern European Union. Latveria's leader Dum called on the participating countries of the New Eastern European Union to liberalize the border tariffs and let the goods Faster and cheaper circulation. "

"Nothing has happened since the Soviet Union split. Can you imagine all this?" Katyusha looked at Kurno with excitement.

But Kurno could only blush and shook his head. Katyusha didn't care about the embarrassment of Curno, but continued to introduce him: "Courno, you say your family grows fruits, but now the fruits of your family can only be shipped to nearby cities for sale, not farther than Three hundred kilometers. Even if you come to buy merchants to buy the fruits of your home, the furthest is to sell them to Kiev. "

Kurno nodded at this, Katyusha continued: "But Ukraine's economy is not good, fruits are not a necessity of life, everyone is saving money. If you have money, you would rather buy more food As a result, fruit has become a luxury item. Fruit shops in Kiev sell very expensive fruit. But in farmland, the purchase price of fruit is very cheap. "

Courno sounds a bit confused. Why are the fruits in Kiev expensive, but the fruits sold in his own house are cheap? Among these complex economic relations, Cournot did not understand.

"But if Super-high Speed Railway is opened, and the New Eastern European Commonwealth lifts customs duties between member countries, the fruits of your family in Kurno can be transported to the train station and then sent to Latveria, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan! Market Will become broader and pricing will become more free. Your family ’s income will also become better. "

"And this is not only the fruit of your family, but also the various specialties and handicrafts between each country. Or some urgently needed supplies. For example, country A needs a certain product X, but country A has no inventory. But there are many markets in country B. "

"Purchasing from country B through traditional trade can indeed relieve the pressure of country A, but the people in country A must pay a high price. This is determined by the market economy. But after the opening of Super-high Speed Railway, although the market The factors of price increase still exist, but the cost and tariffs have been reduced indefinitely. This will allow more people to get benefits. "

Katyusha's explanation made Curno gradually understand the meaning of this railway.

Katyusha continued: “Whether it is food, light industrial products, or other necessities for people ’s livelihood. The exchange of materials and personnel is often trapped by traffic and geographical restrictions. What this railway will do is to completely break this Everything. Do you know how fast this railway is? "

Kuryusha ’s problem once again made Curno shake his head awkwardly. He just went to work for a high salary, and he did n’t know many things.

Katyusha said with a smile: "As long as it is repaired, from Ukraine to Latveria or Poland or Kazakhstan, the farthest place will not exceed half an hour!"

Kuryusha ’s words shocked Curno: “This is faster than our village going to the nearest city!”

Katyusha sighed: "This is the use of speed to change this world! When the world is flattened, the barriers and alienation of the local domain are broken, everything will become so different."

Katyusha: "Do you know Iron Man, Night Crawler, Captain Rogers these people?"

Curno nodded and shook his head: "Is that some American hero? Seems to be."

Katyusha waved her fists with both hands: "They are the heroes of this world, followed by Americans. What they do is to promote change in this world, like the Horizon Fund meeting and the Rand Group Super-high Speed Railway plan . "

"The reason why I return to Kiev is because I also want to devote myself to this change. Although I am just an ordinary person, I hope my knowledge can help. This is my dream when I am One day when I am old, I can say like Paul Kochagin: I have no complaints in my life! "

Kurnonan said: "Your dream is really great, and I ..." And I can only be a road builder.

Katyusha patted Kurno's shoulder. She embraced Kurno's shoulder with the boldness of an Eastern European woman and said, "Dreams are not great for others. It is just a wish in my heart, It depends on whether you are willing to pay. "

Looking at the various scenes passing by the window, Cournot's heart is constantly changing his mind. For a while, it was the parents' instructions and the elder brother and sister-in-law's care, and for a while, the second brother in Kiev. Still thinking about doing something for the family after earning money in the future.

Then he thought of Katyusha's saying, connect the world, whether there is communication. Maybe one day the fruit produced in his own orchard can be sold to any country in the New Eastern European Union?

And after this ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Curno almost couldn't suppress wanting to see what Katyusha said, that Super-high Speed Railway that can change the world looks like.

If this railway is really so good, then even as a road builder, Curno feels glorious.

If possible, I would like to lay this railway to every corner of the world. Let everyone like yourself be able to change lives because of this railway.

On the train, Curno set his first dream for his life, and he had just celebrated his eighteenth birthday before this day.

And countless young people like Kurno and Katyusha boarded the train to Kiev, to Astana, to Warsaw. Go to any Super-high Speed Railway recruitment point.

There are engineers, ordinary workers, and students who have just graduated.

With blood and excitement, dreams and ignorance, everyone changes the world or changes themselves. The endless stream of trains and cars brought together countless young people, this time to change the world and to change themselves. For the whole world and for the family.

In this era, the blood is still not cold.

It's like the familiar melody drawn by the accordion in the train compartment, even after a century, there are still people singing.

As the pear blossoms spread all over the world, Rouman's light yarn floated on the river.

Ka Qiusha stood on the handsome shore, singing like a bright spring.

The girl sings a wonderful song, she sings the prairie eagle.

She is singing her beloved, Katyusha love will always belong to him.

Ah, the song of the singing girl, follow the shining sun!
