On September 1, 20xx, Didi, who was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, went to work on the construction site as usual. The 20-year-old Didi had just married his beloved girl Barbara. After the marriage, Barbara gave birth to Didi is pregnant.
So far, Didi is very positive every day when he goes to work. In fact, Didi, like 99% of Somalis, is very grateful to Lin Yu, the current Somali governor, for the changes he has brought to Somalia. Although Lin Yu took away their country, now The life of Somali people is getting better and better. .
As far back as a year ago, there were people starving to death in Somalia. Until now, no Somalis have starved to death in Somalia. Now every Somali will be assigned a house. Although there is a queue for housing, everyone We all hope to get it, which is something that Somalis never dared to hope for before.
Because Didi was uneducated, she chose to work in a construction company in Mogadishu. Although she had to do tedious and tiring work every day, Didi felt that it didn't matter because people were competing for this kind of work every day in Somalia. Gotta do it.
Didi remembered that in the past, the salary for the last shift was 35 US dollars, which was about 2,040 RMB, and the boss had to treat him like a dog. Now, although he is a little tired every day, the salary is very high, and the salary is calculated every day. It is 80 RMB, and if the foreman calls for overtime, there is a so-called double salary.
Every time Didi hoped that the foreman would ask him to work overtime.
Today we are building a southern highway in Somalia. Today Didi and a group of people were assigned to a relatively easy position by the foreman.
Building a road requires laying a lot of gravel and a lot of grass. The job of Didi and the others is to lay those roadbeds. The extra gravel was flattened to the roadbed and hammered into place.
After a while of banging, time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, and the food truck on the road drove to the construction site. The foreman probably also saw the dining car coming, so he signaled everyone to put their work in order and go over to eat.
¡®Ding ding¡ dong dong¡¡¯ It was time to eat, and Didi and a few workers quickly finished the small piece in front of them.
"Let's go eat! I don't know what to eat for lunch today. I hope to eat braised pork. Yesterday's braised pork tasted really good!" Didi and her coworkers slowly walked towards the dining car, Didi said as they walked.
"Hmm! I also think braised pork is delicious. I wonder if it will be the same this time!" Apparently these people working on the construction site are quite satisfied with the food provided by the construction company. At least the food on the construction site in Somalia is better than the food on the Somali boss's name. Take it to the next level.
Soon a group of people joined the queue. When they arrived at the dining car, the Chinese dining car chef gave each of the workers working on the construction site a dinner plate.
Didi took the dinner plate and walked to another dining car to get food, one portion of rice and one portion of braised pork. One portion of boiled cabbage and one portion of braised tofu. The dishes were basically the same as those days. With the dinner plate in hand, Didi found a nearby stone and squatted on the stone mountain to eat.
This scene can be seen everywhere in Somalia. A group of workers are sitting on the ground eating. There is also a small iron bowl on the dinner plate for those who like to drink soup.
After the workers finished eating, they returned their plates one by one to the place where they received the plates. The bowls were placed in one place, the spoons were placed in another place, and the dinner plates were placed in another place. No worker chooses to throw them away randomly. If you look carefully, you will find that these spoons are almost neatly placed. Not to mention bowls and plates.
Because Somalis all know that if you don¡¯t put these things neatly, it is disrespectful to the person who delivers the food. In the eyes of Somalis, these Chinese people are the ones they respect the most because they have brought a stable life to Somalia.
After the meal, there was no napkin thrown on the ground where the workers had eaten, and the napkins the workers had wiped their mouths with were either thrown into the trash can or put into their bags, because there are clear rules on the construction site. The regulations prohibit littering. If you are found out, you will be deducted 5 yuan once, 10 yuan will be deducted the second time, and you will be expelled the third time!
Maybe in the eyes of others, such a low-paying job is not necessary, but for Somalis, it is a high-paying job. None of them will give up this hard-won job. In addition, building roads, bridges, and houses are all for They are Somalis, so of course they are very energetic at work.
Lin Yu once lamented when he came to inspect the construction site, "People with high education may not necessarily have good quality. Maybe it is these simple people who abide by the regulations the most." ¡¯
The tide ebbs and flows, day after day passes, and in a blink of an eye it is the 5th of every month. The 5th is a happy day for all working Somalis, because today is the day when wages are paid at all construction sites across Somalia. days.
Since there are too many workers in the construction unit, it is impossible to pay wages to every employee one by one. The company distributes wages to every unit and every unit.The salary is issued to the supervisor, who issues it to the team leader, who then distributes it to each working employee according to the salary slip.
¡°Only on the 5th of every month when these workers start working, they look around. Everyone is looking forward to the captain of his team to receive his salary from the foreman as soon as possible.
There were 10 people in Didi¡¯s team. Their captain was a Somali. At this time, the captain was carrying a cloth bag and ran quickly towards his men.
Maybe they saw the captain coming, so Didi and his co-workers quickly learned about the work they were doing, put down what they were doing, and waited for the captain to come over.
"Give out gold coins! Give out gold coins! This time I will give out gold coins! Not paper money!" The captain said excitedly when he ran to his men.
"Gold coins? Captain, is this the Somali currency that was mentioned on TV a few days ago? Is this what we will get when we are paid this time?" Didi would go to the activity center to watch the news every time she went home for a break. Didi said to the gold coins I still have a rough understanding of things.
"I just heard from the foreman that our wages have increased this time! Although the money we have been paid to me has not increased, what we have paid this time is not RMB but Somali gold coins. 200 gold coins can be equivalent to 300 RMB. The foreman said that our salary Therefore, it has increased by 50%." To the foreman, 50% means a sudden increase of nearly 2,000 yuan. How can this not make him happy?
"50%? Our monthly salary of 2,400 yuan plus a 100 yuan bonus is 2,500 yuan. That means we will be given 2,500 Somali gold coins this time, which is equivalent towaitlet me do the math!" Didi calculated the team. There are some people with a bit of culture in there, but the culture is really not that high!
"3750 yuan! Equivalent to RMB 3750! Wow Gaga is rich. Captain, give me the gold coins quickly and let me see!" After screaming, Didi immediately jumped up and prepared to seize the big bag from the captain's hand.
"Come here and let me distribute it. This is yours Didi, this is the cartel's, this is auspicious, this isyou guys take a look, I don't have to open your little bags. The foreman of these little bags said there are Your gold coins and salary slips!" The captain took out small bags from the big bag and handed them to everyone according to the names on the bags.
Didi took the bag, opened it and took a look at the golden coins inside. Her face lit up with joy. She took out the note in the bag and opened it. Seeing that it said 2500, Didi immediately put the note into the bag and poured the gold coins out. Start counting in your hands.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 12 gold coins, one Zhu Yuanzhang face value is 200, 12 coins is 2,400 yuan, one 50 silver coin, 5 10 yuan silver coins, plus It¡¯s just 2,500 yuan!¡± After calculating, he put the gold coins into a small bag.
The worker who was observing the portrait on the gold coin didn¡¯t know why Didi called the 200-yuan gold coin Zhu Yuanzhang. He immediately asked Didi: ¡°Didi, what did you call this gold coin just now?¡±
"Zhu Yuanzhang!" Didi replied subconsciously.
"Why is it called ZhuYuanzhang?" The co-workers thought this name was a twist.
"Didn't it say it on TV? The one with the 10,000 denomination is Qin Shihuang, the one with the 5,000 denomination is Liu Bang, the one with the 2,000 denomination is Li Shimin, the one with the 1,000 denomination is Zhao Kuangyin, the one with the 500 denomination is Genghis Khan, and the one we have is Zhu Yuanzhang , it is said that this portrait is based on Chinese history, and these are the great emperors in Chinese history." Didi explained that the surrounding workers all listened attentively.
"Didi, did you see all this on TV? News channel?" The captain had already finished counting his money and came to Didi with his head bent and asked.
"Of course, did the captain think that Animal World would broadcast this?" Didi was really right. Starting tonight, all TV stations in Somalia will start to popularize knowledge about new currencies. Now Lin Yu's decree has been issued to every Somali community. district.
"I see how all of your coins are Zhu Yuanzhang! You see, my 500 gold coin is a lot bigger than yours of Zhu Yuanzhang!" Looking at Captain Genghis Khan in his hands, he also discovered that the gold coins in everyone's hands not only had different heads and numbers, but also different sizes. They are all different!
The gold coins in the hands of Didi and the others are like Chinese dimes, and the 500 Genghis Khan in the captain's hands is like the old Chinese dimes, of course the sizes are different.
"It doesn't matter how big or small it is, it's all money anyway. I decided this time I'm going to use the money to buy a TV. My wife is pregnant and I'm going to buy a TV for her to watch. I can just buy a chicken after get off work today!" Didi posted The first money I made was for my pregnant wife at home
