Origin Chapter 918: All forms of living beings


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 house. He hurriedly poured the water from the water ladle into the sink of the chicken coop, and then a whirlwind blew up, and took the opportunity to drop the water ladle.

The people in the room didn't look carefully, they just thought that the water scoop was 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.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know if the people in the last room came out to see him, because he left first, walking through the wall, and returned to the village streets to continue wandering.

Not too far away, I found a mule again. The rope tied to the mule was entangled on the wooden stake. Although there was still a lot of water in the water tank, the mule could not reach it. The rope on the stake was bypassed. He could not see others mistreating livestock, whether intentionally or not, be it livestock or poultry, it was their fate to be slaughtered to eat meat, but they belonged to the absolute weak, even if they could not escape their fate, Try not to abuse them while alive, after all, they have no room for resistance.

It is very common for rural people to gamble on happiness during New Years and holidays. Wu Zhongyuan can clearly perceive where there are many people, and follow them. There is a room full of people, playing a card game called tractor. Not 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 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. Sometimes they can win thousands of dollars. Working hard in the factory for a month will make people feel that working hard is meaningless, and it is easy for people to develop the habit of being lazy and not working hard.

You can see a lot of truth by watching people playing cards. It doesn't mean that there is no reason but it has to be far-fetched. Taking this card game as an example, there are two betting methods: clear and black. What cards do you have at home, you have a bottom line in your heart, and then you 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 one must 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 came to the conclusion after observation. The more you keep your head down and make a black bet, the worse you lose, what does this mean? This shows that it is a very stupid way to take risks and be big and small. You must not rely on 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 instead of playing cards, these people are smoking and drinking tea. They are not small cups, but large enamel jars, and they are not drinking any good tea. It is a group of migrant workers who 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 longer, but after thinking about it, he stayed and listened quietly from the side.

At first, I felt boring, but the more I heard Wu Zhongyuan, the more shocked, because the income of migrant workers far exceeded his imagination. In his impression, migrant workers are all vulnerable groups, and they are all poor people who are owed wages. The wages are very 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. Two hundred and sixty, 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. Without exception, these people have thick calluses on their hands, and the bones of hands and feet are deformed to varying degrees. The condition of internal organs is not very good, especially the lungs and liver. The blackening of the lungs is certainly related to their smoking, but the root cause is their poor working environment. You must know that the dust, whether it is cement or white ash, is poisonous.

The main reason for liver problems is that they don't eat well. 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 water after chlorine oxide disinfection, and chlorine itself is also toxic, 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. The damage to the liver is even greater.

Not long after, two people came in from outside. They were two middle-aged men who came to visit the door. After entering the door, they took out cigarettes and distributed them, and then chatted with everyone. These people are better.

It was only after listening to a few sentences that I realized that these two were scrubbers 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 is made by hard work. Modern young people generally lack the spirit to endure hardships and always hope to obtain the greatest benefit at the least cost.

A group of men gather together, and the topic of chat will eventually involve women. When they go out, they go out for half a year or even a year. There is always something they can't hold back. What everyone talks about is who was arrested for doing what. , was fined 5,000 yuan, and 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 keep a record of the case, and he will no longer be able to issue a certificate of no crime. It affects the employment and progress of future generations. In fact, it is not only this. Modern people need to use ID cards no matter where they go, they will use them to buy tickets, and they will also use them for accommodation. All travel records and accommodation records are stored on the internal network. It is permanently reserved. 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 from ten or twenty years ago can be retrieved, so Before doing anything, think about whether you can bear the worst outcome. If you can bear it, 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 returns to the street and continues to hang out. At this time, it is past two in the afternoon, and there are matchmakers on the street leading young people everywhere. After walking 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.

I came across a group of people on the way. In the crowd were two quarrelsome women, one fat and the other 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, but The thin one swears and swears loudly, only to say that there is no such thing at all, and 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, and there is no such thing. If the men still don't keep the women's way, if they are not honest, they will drive their whole family away.

Wu Zhongyuan stood outside the crowd and watched for a while, basically sure that the thin woman was wronged, but he didn't take action. There are too many similar things, dozens or hundreds of things may happen every second. He can't help everyone.

Because it was lively after watching, the young man who followed him had already gone away from the matchmaker. Wu Zhongyuan had nowhere to go. He could see the village committee office not far away, and the stove pipe on the window was still smoking. went there.

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

After listening for a while, Wu Zhongyuan roughly knew what everyone was talking about. These construction workers seem to be engaged in wind power generation. After the year, they will build a power generation tower on the land of these farmers, which involves the problem of land occupation. 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 uniform, 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 who and who took how much, which was far more than 800 yuan.

In the end, they broke up, leaving only the village chief and the construction workers. 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. If you don't talk about them, you don't have peanuts. Although there are oranges and apples, there are It wasn't as delicious as the modern day, so he took a few handfuls of peanuts and a few apples, and he was planning where to go while peeling food from nowhere.

He doesn't really want to stay in the village anymore, but now the city hasn't started construction, and he can't see much when he goes there. And although he grew up in the countryside, he has never observed it from a top-down perspective. , there are all kinds of living beings, and he can't see it all in a while, and his time is relatively abundant. He can observe a few more days from the countryside, so that he can see more comprehensively and objectively...
