don't call me singer

Chapter 1704 All Beings Are Suffering
In the end, Gu Xiaobai still chose to believe in Alexei.

After all, as a student of the Great Aviation Academy, Victoria doesn't have much problem with judgment ability.

"Well, wait a minute, I'll go back and ask for a leave..."

"Ask for leave? This is not good." Gu Xiaobai asked.

"Hey, this factory has been shut down for a long time, and now it often has nothing to do for several days."

"Ah...then how do you usually live?" Gu Xiaobai asked.

Alexey said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I still have a car repair job outside..."

"In this case, I can pay your wages." Gu Xiaobai is not ignorant of the world, after all, he is also a person who has been stumped by money, "How much should I pay per hour?"

Alexei wanted to refuse, but it could be seen that he was a little moved, and he couldn't say no when he opened his mouth several times.

Gu Xiaobai looked at the few people beside him.

"Uh, no need for this..." Victoria was also a little embarrassed.

In fact, if it was someone else, she wouldn't hold back either.

But Gu Xiaobai is not only her partner, but also her idol.

Seeing her embarrassed, Gu Xiaobai looked at the other two companions beside him.

"For an hourly salary... 150 rubles is about the same." A companion said.

"So little?" Gu Xiaobai was stunned.

The current exchange rate is about 11 points, and the hourly salary of 150 rubles is less than 15 yuan.

Domestically, KFC has more trays than this.

"Uh... this is not too little... I went out to work, and it was only 80 rubles an hour..." Another companion said weakly.

In the past few days, Gu Xiaobai has gotten to know these two companions better. They are both from small cities in Russia. After arriving in Moscow, their daily life is actually very cramped, and they both need work-study programs to maintain their lives. It was really hard work.

"How about this, I'll give you 300 an hour, no... 500 rubles, but how about your skills, I want to interview, it depends on whether you are worthy of the 500 rubles per hour."

"No problem!" Alexey's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

The hourly salary of 500 rubles, if converted into a full-time job and eight hours a day, is a monthly salary of 84000 rubles. Even in Moscow, this income exceeds the official nominal average salary of 78000 rubles.

In fact, the "average salary" is a pre-tax figure, and the actual salary is far less than that.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Russia is much larger than in China, and this is still in Moscow.

If it is in other small cities, the income of 84000 rubles is several times the average salary.

And during this period of time, the people of Moda interacted with the students of Dongyuan University, and the biggest feeling was...

The students of Dongyuan University, why are they so rich!

Of course they don't know, because many people supported Gu Xiaobai's Colin Flying in the last defense battle, Dongyuan University is estimated to have the most assets per student among all schools in the country.

Even Zhu Yuhu has achieved financial freedom.

And after the Sea Dragon Palace soared into the sky this time, the stock price of Kelin Aviation went crazy again.

The average assets of Dongwon University students doubled again.

But there is no doubt that Gu Xiaobai is the richest of all the students in Dongyuan University.

Gu Xiaobai turned around, took out a blueprint, and handed it to Alexei: "Can you understand this? Can you make it?"

"Well, this is a bit difficult. We may not have enough equipment, let me try." Alexei waved his hand, "Come on, follow me in."

After walking a few steps, Alexey suddenly looked at Gu Xiaobai with some embarrassment: "Xiaobai, can you cover it up..."

"Oh." Gu Xiaobai wrapped himself in a thick scarf.

The factory area of ​​the Moskva Automobile Factory is old and dilapidated.

The lawn on both sides was already very deep, with old rusty parts lying in it.

Gu Xiaobai had only seen such an old factory area when he was young, in the factory area where his parents were laid off.

But it was more noisy inside than Gu Xiaobai imagined.

He heard not far away, in front of a low two-story building, dozens of workers were making noise.

Gu Xiaobai listened carefully, and heard someone making noise:

"Obviously the Chinese bought our factory in Tula State, why do you say there is no money! Where did the money go? What about the money given by the Chinese?"

"Need to say? The money is squandered by you fat-brained officials! When did you buy that new car? Why do you have the money to buy a new car, but we can't even pay the wages!"

Surrounded by everyone, was a middle-aged official. At this time, he was still sweating profusely, and said helplessly: "It's useless for you to get angry at me. The Chinese don't give money at all. They just took over our factory area and promised to invest without any cash, so we have nothing to do!"

"Then why give them the factory area! Why not sell the factory area!"

"Sell the factory area for a few dollars, and you will die if you spend all the money, but if the Chinese take over, at least you can make the economy run and feed a lot of people... This is the government's idea, whether you like it or not , I can’t decide either. If you want to blame, you should blame the Chinese, why don’t you give me more money!”

"If you want me to say, the Chinese should be blamed! Look at the street, it is full of their products! All of them are dumped into our country!"

"They took away our jobs, what kind of exchange party is the country still doing now!"

"The country spends so much money, just to welcome a ship, what can it bring us! Can't he see that we are still starving?"

"My kid is in school now and I can't even afford him a bike!"

Hearing those people yelling, Alexey next to him turned his head to look at Gu Xiaobai a little embarrassedly.

Gu Xiaobai finally understood that he made himself cover his head.

It turned out not because I was a star, but because I was Chinese.

Alexey said awkwardly: "We haven't paid wages for almost half a year..."

"Your factory has long since failed, so why don't they resign? Why don't they find other jobs?"

"Uh... because you can't find a job in other places now. And if you don't resign, your previous salary may be supplemented to you. If you resign, you really have nothing." Alec Race Track .

To be honest, Gu Xiaobai really didn't expect that he would see such a scene.

For a long time, the Russians that Gu Xiaobai came into contact with were either Tokavsky or Ilyasov.

Otherwise, the great students are the pride of the sky these days.

But when he actually came to the land of Russia, he found that this country was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Why do they blame the Chinese? It's not the Chinese who made them poor." Gu Xiaobai asked again.

"You have to blame someone. Blame the government, the president, or the Chinese. What's the difference? But if there is any hope, they won't be like this."

"If they feel that there is no hope, why don't they work hard to do better? If everyone works together, this country will definitely become better." Gu Xiaobai was puzzled.

"Uh..." It wasn't Alexei who answered him this time, but Victoria.

"Xiaobai, you won't understand, this society is hopeless, there is no hope..."

Gu Xiaobai turned his head to look at the noisy crowd.

Then shook his head.

The Russians he knew, such as Ilyasov, Tokavsky, and even Captain Leonkov and Andreev, all had a spirit.

It is for this reason that he respects them.

But now, what he saw was like a group of walking dead.

Where did their energy go?
……

Omarov Duming walked to the checkout counter of the supermarket with a bag of potatoes on his back.

His grandson was going to bring his girlfriend to visit him at noon today, so he came out to do some shopping and planned to make lunch for his grandson and his girlfriend.

But after wandering around, he bought nothing but a bag of potatoes.

A bottle of the cheapest yogurt, which used to be 36 rubles, has now risen to 57 rubles.

A bottle of milk has also risen from more than 20 rubles before to more than 30 now.

But he only has a retirement salary of [-] rubles a month.

He put one hand in his pocket, stroking the pitiful little money in his pocket, thinking over and over in his heart.

He stood by the caviar aisle for a long time, but a bottle of the cheapest caviar would have emptied the last rubles in his pocket.

Finally, Omarov sighed and turned to leave.

He saw an old woman standing outside the window behind him, her skin was cracked like old tree bark, her eyes were staring straight at the big Lieba on the shelf next to her, and she didn't know how long she had been standing there.

Omarov tried his best not to look at her, he almost walked past the window with his head down, the bag of potatoes on his back bent his waist.

While standing in line at the checkout counter, Omarov saw some young people at the door.

They held up their mobile phones and stopped passers-by as if they were asking something.

There seemed to be another person playing a song constantly.

Omarov glanced at them almost indifferently, then bowed his head to pay the bill, then bowed his head, and walked out with the bag of potatoes on his back.

Then he was slapped abruptly.

Omarov turned away blankly.

I saw a few young people holding their mobile phones at him.

"Can we interview you?"

"what?"

"Did you hear the song that was just played?"

"Understood." Omarov remained indifferent.

"What do you think of this song?"

Omarov froze for a moment.

Gu Xiaobai's singing penetrated into his eardrums.

"Even when the thunder and storm begins
Even if the thunder and lightning sound, the storm will come

I'll be standing stong like a tree in the wind
I'll stand like a giant tree in the wind

Nothing is gonna move this mountain or change my direction
Nothing can change my course, just like no one can shake this lofty mountain..."

In fact, he didn't listen to the singing carefully, because at that moment, he collapsed.

"Today my grandson is coming to visit me, I don't have money to buy something for my grandson to eat, I only have potatoes dipped in salt at home! You ask me how about that song! cyka blyat! You still ask me what about that song Like! cyka blyat!"

"I have a retirement salary of 1 rubles a month, I worked as a tractor driver, I went to university, I have two university degrees, I am now retired, and I only have a retirement salary of 1 rubles, you ask me How about that song! cyka blyat!"

"My monthly salary is 5000 rubles for utilities, and now the gas price has risen to 50 rubles, cyka blyat! I have built cars all my life, and now I can't even afford to drive my own car. My car has a door The handles are rotten, and there is no money to fix them. It would cost at least a thousand rubles to fix them, and I don’t have that much money! And you ask me about that song!”

"You're still asking me about that song! I don't care about your fucking song! I don't care about it!!!"

Several young people who took the video were stunned.

They are a group of vloggers who have stopped several people here to film.

In Russia now, Gu Xiaobai is undoubtedly a traffic password.

Some people like him, but some people hate him and reject him.

They interviewed people from all walks of life and collected various opinions and comments. They felt that this interview might be able to become popular on the Internet and bring them some attention.

But this sudden, emotionally broken old man really shocked them.

They stood there bewildered, looking at the old man who yelled at them and didn't know what to do.

By the time they realized it, the old man had already staggered away.

The wind and snow had stopped, but his temples were full of wind and frost.

……

Behind the Moskva Automobile Factory, in a small alley, Alexey brought Gu Xiaobai and others to a dilapidated small building, and said: "The front is my grandfather's house, and my grandfather's craftsmanship is very good. , let you try it today. Come, come, you are welcome..."

"Grandpa, grandpa!" cried Alexey, "look what I brought you, and who I brought!"

When no one answered him, Gu Xiaobai suddenly raised his hand and stopped Alexei.

Then he raised his head, and a ray of singing came out from the window on the second floor.

An old voice sang in a low voice:

"Заботау наспростая,

We have an ordinary wish,
Заботанашатакая:
Our wish is this:

Жилабыстранародная,-
The motherland can prosper and prosper,-
Инетудругихзабот.
our lifelong ideal

Иснег, иветер,

Look, the wind and snow are vast,

Извёздночнойполёт
meteor flying in the night sky
Менямоёсердце
my heart calls to me
Втревожнуюдальзовёт.
To the turbulent distance.

Пускайнамс тобойобоим
let us unite

Бедагрозитзабедою,

Through that calamity,

Нодружбумоюс тобою
and the friendship between you and me
Однатолькосмертьвозьмёт.
Only death can divide..."

The singing is deep, soothing, yet powerful.

Gu Xiaobai stood there, listening attentively, not knowing why, but felt his nose sour.
