Chapter 1787 Shoulder
There was light rain in the sky, and it wasn't as chilly as it was in winter when it fell on people, but it was cold, somewhat cold.

It's just that this kind of cold no longer makes people feel that it is winter now.

On the street, two workers without umbrellas were wearing peaked caps, with their heads down, walking quickly on the road.

An old man, a middle-aged man.

They are a father and son, both of whom work in the factory. They watched the news last night, and today they went to a nearby trade union club to find out about the situation.

For these working classes, social security, pensions, medical care and the like have a greater impact on them than war!

They don't care who wins or loses the war any more than they cared ten years ago if the Great Depression would destroy the country, destroy the world.

They are just little people who can only care about their own fate and nothing else.

Some people say that you should have a broad mind and look at the world. If you can't even fill your stomach, who the hell cares if the world will be destroyed tomorrow?

The accumulated rain fell on their faces. Perhaps the purpose of wearing hats was to keep their hair from getting so wet.

The two walked quickly, shuttling among pedestrians, trying not to touch other people.

But it is unavoidable, and sometimes they will come across, which makes people occasionally utter a few dirty words on the road.

The quality of the federal people has never been high. Rape, robbery, murder, and burglary are common things here, not to mention casually cursing people on the roadside.

After crossing the long street to the end, the signboard and neon lights of the workers' club made the father and son stop.

They stood outside the door, took off their hats and shook them casually, then patted their clothes, so that the water jets on their bodies gathered together and flowed down quickly, and then entered the club after wiping their faces.

This is very common among people like them. They don't know how to use umbrellas often, because umbrellas are not cheap things. Umbrella ribs and umbrellas are relatively advanced technology for the current industry.

Most people usually only have one umbrella, and some families never even use an umbrella!
On the street, those who hold umbrellas are all from well-to-do families.

As soon as the two entered the hall, they saw stains all over the floor, all of which were sewage and footprints.

Many people have come here, including the father and son's co-workers, all of whom have come to inquire about security benefits and pension issues.

The people from the workers' union were very serious and responsible, and they kept explaining. The two of them came at the right time, and the person in charge of explaining started to explain just as a group left.

"...Now we have divided social security disobedience into 'state responsibility' and 'corporate responsibility', among which 'state responsibility' bears..."

The man spoke loudly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't even need to read the manuscript to be able to say these words.

Is it because he has a special talent?
No, it's just that I talked a lot, and gradually I didn't need the manuscript, and I just memorized it all.

The father and son stood at the outermost edge, and the father took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, new products every moment, sinking products, glorious.

Glory is the name of the product, and its full name is "Glorious Laborers". On the front, workers holding tools are working next to the machinery, and on the reverse is "Glory always belongs to the glorious working people".

It has a lot of strength. Although the quality of tobacco is not very good, what people want is strength, resistance to smoking, and good sales.

After all, big brands sinking into the market is like luxury goods doing a bunch of light luxury to harvest the middle class. The more people recognize the value of the brand, the sharper the harvesting sickle will be!

The room smelled of cigarettes. No wonder the windows and doors were open. The father handed a cigarette to his son. The father and son were smoking while listening to the man's explanation.

After talking for more than 20 minutes, the man finally shut up, and at this time the workers around him started talking.

Someone asked, "Can we pay all the bills at once?"

This is something that many older workers are very concerned about, because the physical industry suffered a devastating blow during the Great Depression a few years ago, and more than half of the factories closed down.

A large number of people have lost their jobs, so that many people have not paid social security funds for three to five years, which also makes them victims of the old social system!
Now, the opportunity has come, and some people who are still a year or two away can't help but ask this crucial question.

The worker union official in charge of answering the question nodded, "Of course, of course!"

"Under the work of our workers' union, we and the Socialist Party put forward a lot of suggestions and opinions in this case. This year is the first year of social security system reform, and you can pay off the arrears of the government's responsibility part in one go."

"But it's only limited to the owed part. For example, brothers in their 30s and [-]s can only pay the full amount according to the time you worked in the first year to your current one, and you can't pay more. It's limited to the lowest two grades!"

The old man interjected, "The social security payment I paid before was less than the number of years, and they refunded the money to me. Can I still pay it now?"

He emphasized a little more, "One time payment!"

There is some expectation, longing, and a trace of fear in the voice!
He was very unlucky. He reached retirement age the year before last and was 55 years old. The Great Depression ten years ago was a terrible nightmare for everyone.

Of course, he did not pay for 30 years. According to the rules of the social security system at that time, he did not meet the conditions for lifetime enjoyment.

All the money he paid was returned to him. He has no pension, no medical insurance, no social security, so he can only continue to work.

And after retirement, the security fund he pays for continuing to work can only protect him from this payment to the next payment cycle, that is, one month, and only medical insurance.

As soon as he stops, he's insecure again, which is why he's still working at 57.

He dare not relax, the income is only a part, the key is medical security.

Without medical insurance, he can't buy those cheap pills. He has to buy non-medical insurance special drugs, and the price is so high that he wants to die.

It would be a relief for him if he could pay all the money in one go.

The surrounding crowd fell silent, and the staff nodded and said yes.

"But there are some differences between one-time supplementary payment and annual payment..."

People are looking at him, this is also an important message, never underestimate the wisdom of the people at the bottom in terms of wool.

This made many people realize that their old mothers seem to be able to enjoy such benefits, which is a good thing!
Women do not work, or very few women work. This is a federal tradition, and women should take care of the family at home.

Working and making money is a man's business!
In fact, the ideology of the federal society also lagged behind. In the past, they felt that it was obviously a bad thing for a family to need women to work.

Women are allowed to work only when men are incapable, and there were indeed not many places that could provide women with jobs at that time.

This is still the case, it has become a tradition.

But this does not mean that there are no women who work long hours. According to their current thinking, if they can pay in one lump sum, does it mean that the older women in the family have not worked for a day, but as long as they pay the money, they can enjoy these benefits ?

Especially pensions.

"First, for those who have not paid in full and have passed the retirement age, but still have a social security number, if they want to pay in one lump sum, they must have a proof of work."

"You can find people in the community, or the factory where you work, or the company to issue a certificate"

"Second, the one-time payment will be 410% of the current minimum salary of 65 yuan and [-] cents in our area, and it will be paid in one lump sum!"

"The total price is 55 yuan and [-] cents."

"As long as these two conditions are met, you can pay in one lump sum..."

People began to ask questions again, and the father and son looked at each other and retreated out of the crowd.

The old man was a little hesitant, the years had carved out the appearance of time on his face, and the deep wrinkles made it impossible to believe how handsome he was when he was young.

"How about...forget it?" He took a puff of cigarette, his tone not so sure.

He seems to be convincing himself, but also seems to be convincing the child.

1000 yuan, which they cannot afford now.

No member of their family joined the army, and other conditions did not meet the criteria for tax relief. Although everyone was working, their income was not high.

1000 yuan can empty out their families at once, and maybe they have to sell something.

The middle-aged man was also smoking heavily. He lowered his head and frowned.

After a while, he took the cigarette butt out of his mouth and threw it heavily on the ground.

As soon as the sparks from the cigarette butt popped out, they were extinguished by the stains on the ground.

"Pay, must pay!"

He looked up at his father, and the back that could support the whole family and the sky in his childhood in his memory had become bent.

The momentum that used to be unambiguous has also become cautious.

He took a deep breath, "Selling her necklace is almost enough."

His wife has a gemstone necklace, the gemstone is not big, the size of a peanut kernel, and the gold necklace.

They asked before, and the jewelry store was willing to pay 850 yuan to buy it, mainly for the ruby.

Now the price of gold has been rising, and has risen a lot with the outbreak of the war, but it still hasn't broken a hundred.

The gold price of that necklace is only about 100 yuan, and the rest is the price of gemstones.

"There are still some unused things at home, and they can all be sold. It should be almost done."

"No more..."

The middle-aged man clenched his fists, "We can take out a loan, but we can't borrow much. Other things can be delayed, but this one cannot be delayed."

"If you miss this time, no one knows when it will be like this next time. You have been busy all your life, it's time to rest!"
