109. The World of Little People

Weibot's abnormality also attracted the attention of the workshop managers. There are thousands of employees in the machinery factory of Nuoda, and it is normal for a small situation.

In such a situation, the managers have a wealth of experience. During the lunch break, Supor Ivanov, the supervisor of Webert, came to talk to him.

"Weibot, are you feeling unwell today? Or are you too tired recently and haven't rested?" Supor asked tentatively.

In the face of the supervisor's questioning, Weibot knew that he was in trouble. If he didn't explain clearly, he would probably be rested! He really wanted to rest, but when he thought about income, he decisively gave up. Hastily said: "No! No! Mr. Supor, do you think I look sick??"

Supor took a lot of Wibot up and down and found nothing wrong. After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you do this! You don't go to work this afternoon. The factory has invited a doctor for a consultation. You can go and have a look first! "

Hearing the supervisor say to see a doctor, Weibott waved his hands in fright and said, "No, no! Mr. Supor, I'm really fine!!"

At the end of the 19th century, the medical environment in Europe, if you really want to describe it, is "expensive", "very expensive", "very expensive", "very expensive"...

It can be said that doctors are exclusive to the rich, and ordinary people can't avoid them. Although the income of the machinery factory is good, ordinary workers still cannot afford the huge medical expenses.

No way, the industrial level of the 19th century was limited, the production cost of western medicine remained high, and it was a seller's market. After Ferdinand crossed, it was not that he never had the idea of ​​medicine, but he did not study chemical engineering, so there was no way to improve the process, and the cost could not be reduced.

Don't say that in the 19th century, even in the 21st century, ordinary people in many places still shy away from hospitals? ? Don't care about major illnesses and minor illnesses, the messy expenses add up, and you can easily consume a month's salary. This is still not a serious problem. If there is a serious disease, an ordinary family will immediately face financial difficulties.

Of course, Supor also knew this situation, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry! This time, it's just an intern from the Medical University, mainly to gain experience, and the diagnosis is free!"

Hearing the free, Weibot's uneasy heart calmed down a lot, nodded, and left with the supervisor. In his entire life, he has never seen a serious doctor. At most, he has only been in contact with local doctors in the countryside, and he also wants to meet him, even though he is only an intern.

But when they got there, they found that there was a long line of people from the medical room to the corridor outside. Weibot didn't know what was going on inside. Looking at the opponents that were only increasing and not decreasing outside, he knew that it was not his turn this afternoon.

After thinking about it, Weibot decided to tell the supervisor to forget it, he was not sick anyway, so he didn't need to waste time, so he said, "Mr. Supor, you see so many people, and I'm not sick, so I don't need to add more to the doctor. Trouble?"

Supor looked at the flow of people and said uncertainly: "You really have no problem? You must know that now is a good opportunity. It is organized in the factory. If you are sick, you can treat it as soon as possible. The cost will be much lower than outside! Team, not today, come again tomorrow?"

Seeing the warm-hearted Supor, Webbot was about to cry, and said embarrassingly: "I'm really not sick! Mainly last night, my wife and I talked about the national debt, and I'm going to find someone to ask about it today, so in the morning A little distracted!"

Supor asked, "Really?"

Webbt said with great certainty: "It's true!"

Supor thought for a while and said, "That's good! You write a five-hundred-word review to me, and this matter is over! Remember, the review must be profound!"

Hearing that he was going to write a review, Weibot's face suddenly collapsed. With a wry smile, he asked, "Ah! Can you not write it?"

Supor glared at it,

Said, "What do you say?"

"Do you need me to remind you of the rules in the factory?"

"Also, have you deserted the usual literacy education?? The newspapers have said clearly and plainly. You can't read it yourself. Do you still need to ask?"

After listening to Supor's words, Weibot was shocked and said, "It's all in the newspapers??"

After listening to Weibot's words, Supor became unhappy and criticized: "I usually teach you to read more and read more newspapers!! One or two are not the same thing, Weibot is now ignorant!"

After listening to Supor's words, Weibot was embarrassed and wished to find a crack in the ground to get in. Newspapers, the factory must order every day, and the management often asks everyone to read more and read more newspapers, (mainly to facilitate brainwashing) the factory also has a special reading room.

However, like many ordinary workers, Weibot didn't think that reading and reading newspapers had anything to do with him. Those were only things that managers should read. It was enough that ordinary people like him could read a few big characters.

The books and newspapers in the reading room have become the exclusive property of the management, and even if a worker occasionally goes in to read it, it is rare. So even though the national debt has been rumored, Wiebert still doesn't know that it has been published in detail in the newspapers!

You know, writing a review has become a foregone conclusion, and Weibot didn't dare to argue with the supervisor, after all, it was his own fault. He hurried back to work, he didn't want to have his salary deducted!

It may be that the mind has been resolved, and Weibot's work in the afternoon went very smoothly, and there was no mistake again.

Weibot, who was in a good mood, did not choose to continue to work overtime today. After work, he walked into the reading room with his employee card. This was the first time he took the initiative to come here. I borrowed the newspapers about the national debt in recent days and brought it home directly.

Thanks to Ferdinand's compulsory literacy education, Wiebot has also learned common words and can barely read newspapers freely.

When he got home, Webbter began to study word by word, for fear of missing a word. It took over two full hours for Webbt to finish reading about the national debt.

The content of the newspaper is very sensational, but Weibot's level is limited, and he can only understand a general meaning. Even so, Wiebert decided that he must buy government bonds to support national construction.

Anyway, Royal Bank and Union Bank have promised to make sure that even if you need urgent money, you can exchange it immediately. The big deal is that there is no interest. In this way, it is similar to the nature of depositing money in the bank. There is no interest for early withdrawal.

The Royal Bank is owned by the king, and the United Bank is said to be jointly founded by domestic industry and commerce. I heard that the machinery factory where I work also has shares in it. They are not the owners of poor money, and their reputation is reliable!

After making up his mind, Weibot was going to wait for his wife to come back and discuss it again, which one would be more cost-effective to buy.
