Zhentian coffin

Carrying bags is also called labor. It has been done since ancient times. It used to be on the pier. Now it is not so hard, but now it is also a very tiring job.

What Lin Bai arranged was a warehouse, and what he transported was rice, a bag of [-] catties, and a cart of [-] tons. The car had already driven to the door of the warehouse. It only needed to be unloaded, put in a cart, and then pushed to the warehouse for stacking. It's okay, there is no technique, just strength.

"One person, one car. No overtime work today. Eight hours. You can move as much as you can. I will tell you how much it will be then."

I also built a truckload of cargo, and then unloaded it on the side. Lin Chaosheng gritted his teeth and started to unload it.

A bag of one hundred catties of rice is nothing to a healthy adult man, and most of them can afford it, but it is not so easy if they want to make more money.

Those skilled porters next to them don’t use trolleys at all, because they have to unload them twice, which is too time-consuming. They just move three or four bags at a time, and then go to the warehouse and come out again, which is more efficient, but this kind of work is not like ours. It's not so hard for people who are doing it for the first time.

Lin Chaosheng grunted and hummed. He was tall and burly, and he exercised all the year round. He was full of tendons, so it was nothing to move things. He liked to do weight lifting in the gym.

So an hour ago, he was still in full swing, but an hour later, his muscles were sore and he almost cried. What was even more uncomfortable was that he only carried a carload of [-] tons of goods. I don’t know if there were two or three tons. , while others, half of the car is almost finished.

"It's not fair, they are two people working together, and I am alone"

"Cooperation between two people means sharing money between two people. If you want, that's fine. I'll help you."

"No, I don't want to see you"

Lin Chaosheng cursed, gritted his teeth and went back to carry. He was so tired that he was about to vomit blood. It took him three or four hours to finish carrying a cart of rice, and he sat on the ground paralyzed, not wanting to move.

"Come on, get paid"

"That's all? You lied to me"

"You can go and ask if I have lied to you. The wages of these movers are very high. They can earn more than 1 yuan a month. How much is it on average?"

"You... I am a dignified Ivy League doctoral student, why should I compare with them?"

"Yes, you are a famous college student, so of course you can't compare with them. Unfortunately, this answer makes me dissatisfied, because you haven't realized the truth of me taking you to experience life. Rest for a few hours and continue at night."

"What, you want to exhaust me to death, such high-intensity physical activity will give way to the dissolution of muscle stripes, and if it is serious, it will lead to kidney failure."

"Don't worry, I've promised you old man, I won't die"

I grabbed his clothes, took him to the hotel, let him soak in a hot spring, and then massaged him with my own hands. Naturally, there is no doubt about my craftsmanship. This is what I started with. This guy slept comfortably I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go, I'm working as a waiter in a restaurant tonight"

After dinner, I directly took him to work as a waiter in a hotel. This time, the hotel was one of the hottest ones in Yangcheng.

Clean up the table, serve tea and water, deliver food, do everything, fast, steady hands, and solve some customers' inquiries by the way. People who have not been trained will naturally be unable to handle it, and it will be frustrating.

"crash"

In the end, a few hours later, Lin Chaosheng threw the bowl and chopsticks and ran away, unable to take it anymore.

I didn't scold or hit him, just followed him from a distance like this, Lin Chaosheng tried to shake me off several times, but he couldn't.

"Liu Jinyang, I can see it, what kind of shit is experiencing life, you are torturing me, you are humiliating me..."

"Have you finished scolding? After scolding, you can sit down and have a chat. Let me tell you some truths."

"Bullshit truth, I've heard those words a thousand times, ten thousand times, believe it or not, I'll recite them for you"

"I do, so I'm going to tell you something new, sit down"

I pushed Lin Chaosheng on the steps and sat down beside him.

"I'd like to hear, what flowers can you name?"

"After doing these jobs, what did you see?"

"What do you want me to see, the bitter life of the hard-working people, the bitterness and sweetness, the suffering of the people, I'm sorry, I have already heard these words."

"These are appearances, talk about the connotation, why do you think they can only engage in these labors?"

"Hehe, because of education, they have no higher education and no skills, so they can only do these jobs. Liu Jinyang, society is divided into levels. It doesn't mean that if you don't have it, you don't have it. Even in foreign countries, there are poor people."

"I know, but do you know why they don't have the opportunity to get an education?"

"Sure enough, this is still the same principle, and it has to be upgraded to the overall situation of the country. Is it a historical problem?"

"That's right"

"I don't want to say it, I'm tired"

"For me, because our country is poor and our level of development is low, right? But have you thought about it? In the first 20 years, even these jobs, they couldn't find them. They could only farm. By the way, you plant Did you cross the ground?"

"what are you trying to say"

"Okay, it seems that you have indeed heard too much of these words, I will not talk nonsense with you, I will tell you directly, what I want to tell you tonight, there is only one theme, mediocrity and nobility.

What is mediocrity, I am mediocre, you are mediocre too, don't rush to refute, I know you graduated from a famous university, but what did you do after you learned your skills, have you made any contribution to the country and the people, I'm sorry Cultivate the resources you pay for.

I know what you want to say, you said that you are also working hard, you have contributed to society, sorry, I just want to say, you are only for yourself, you are a refined egoist"

"Hehe, according to you, those assembly lines, waiters, and movers are noble?"

"It's not counted, because they are busy with food and clothing, and work with money, which is not considered noble"

"Then you are a double standard. I am an egoist when I work with money. They should be what they should be. What's the reason?"

"Because you have received higher education, you have enjoyed the resources given to you by the country, who is noble, those scientists who work hard, those soldiers who dedicate themselves to the country, firefighters, policemen, and your father, your father He is a very powerful person. If he quits this job, he will have a better life. Believe it or not, you have studied history and know that in those poor and white years, those scientists who returned to China..."

"Speaking of it, I really don't think it's new. You're just being generous to others, or it's the kind of moral kidnapping."

"That's right. What I want to say is that you have escaped from the most basic demands of life. You have the right to choose mediocrity and nobility. In fact, mediocrity and nobility are often not opposed to each other, but coexist. When you return to your country, You can also live your life abroad and contribute to this country.

Lin Chaosheng, this is our country, which gave birth to us and supported our country. He is still very poor and backward, and needs the efforts of many people to make him better. A person should not forget his roots no matter what.

I know you can't listen to what I say now, it's okay, I won't let you work in the next few days, but you should go and see how the people at the bottom live, and really get to know you the motherland.

I have said so much, but I never asked you to give up everything, give up what you deserve, and give selflessly. I only hope that you can help us when you have spare energy..."

"I don't understand what you're saying, you're not a nice person"

"You're right again. I'm not a good person, but these words are definitely good words. It doesn't matter if you don't understand them, just remember them. If one day, you feel something, think about it again, I think it should be It’s helpful to your life, let’s just leave it at that today, go back to rest, don’t work tomorrow”

I patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left. It is a despicable thing to ask others to be noble, but it is definitely a noble thing to be willing to help others when you can.

Among all living beings, the vast majority of people are mediocre. After all, there are only a few trendy people in the era. Lin Bai’s ideas are actually backward and decadent, but his original intention is admirable. , because I come from the bottom, I know what Lin Bai thinks.

From the second day onwards, I didn't let Lin Chaosheng work, but the previous arrangement remained the same. We went to many places, hotels, construction sites, warehouse logistics, express delivery, takeaway, and other places where the low-level people live. We didn't work. , start consulting them.

Ask them about their working hours, job content, income level, the situation in their hometown, and their dreams, and record them one by one.

Two days later, we chatted with a so-called second-generation worker. He is a descendant of a migrant worker, and he is also a migrant worker. The New Year is coming soon. The father and son did not go home, but prepared for the New Year in a crowded urban village. A small single room, one bed and one bunk, dark and narrow, but there is a very bright desk, which is full of books.

Lin Chaosheng talked with him for several hours, and when he walked out, for the first time, there was no ridicule, contempt, or disdain, only heaviness.

"He is a talent, he loves reading, his logical thinking is very strong, better than me, he is only 20 years old, he should appear in the university, not the construction site, Liu Jinyang, tell me why he didn't appear At school, but here"

"Maybe it's poverty, there is a saying that is very good, poverty is the original sin"

"But····"

"Lin Chaosheng, there are many such people in our country. They don't have the opportunity to study, why don't they have the opportunity, this is what you should think about, how to give them the opportunity to study, this is what you should do, combine these two questions Think about it clearly, your life will be very different, Chinese New Year is coming soon, go back, I will help you with Mr. Lin, he will not tell you those big truths in the future, you have to remember, you are an adult You have to think about which step you take to govern the country and the world. The mediocre are not despicable, and the noble are respected. Hey, there are a lot of truths. Let’s go, let’s not talk about it.”

I patted Lin Chaosheng on the shoulder, turned around and left, in front, Xiao Xu had already come to pick him up, standing at the door of the car, Lin Bai was sitting in the car, looking at us.
