In our village, there is a strange phenomenon: those who are in stable jobs, or those within the system, they always keep a low profile. However, some of those who returned from the construction site were high-profile.
By the end of the year, the people in the village who had been working on the construction site had returned. When asked how much money they earned, they always said, "I didn't earn much, but I earned 50,000 or 60,000 yuan." "We all know that the wages of construction workers in recent years have been very high. Rebar workers earn 450 yuan a day, bricklayers earn 300 yuan a day, and plumbers can even earn 5 or 600 yuan a day. I only earned tens of thousands of dollars, which is too little.
In fact, they earn more than those who work in the unit. Basically, they get 10,000 yuan a month. Such an income level is really impressive.
For those who work in the system and in public institutions, their salary is only about 200 yuan a day, and at most 4,000 or 5,000 yuan a month, and some are now only 2,000 or 3,000 yuan. They were plainly dressed and smoked cigarettes for a dozen dollars a pack.
However, the young people who came back from the construction site had a very comfortable life. They bought new cars, ate good ones, and smoked cigarettes for dozens of dollars a pack. They play mahjong and cards with generous hands, as if they were big bosses. After they returned, the number of people drinking in the house never stopped, and there were two or three tables of people drinking every day.
Such a standard of living is much higher than that of people in the system.
I wondered, how long can they eat like this with the tens of thousands of dollars they earn? Some people even started borrowing money to refuel and buy cigarettes before Chinese New Year's Eve. Can this lifestyle really last? Maybe they're just enjoying the present and not thinking about the future. But in any case, their lives are indeed enviable.
I think people who are really powerful and capable are very low-key and introverted, and those who are arrogant are not necessarily really rich! Look at the grain in the field, all of them bow their heads downward, but those who hold their heads up and hold their chests high are weeds!
