Chapter 946 The Ordinary Road (Fourth update, please subscribe)
A geosynchronous orbit satellite has caused a commotion around the world, which can be said to be unexpected.
But this kind of turmoil is basically limited to the top leaders of various countries, and the outside world knows almost nothing about it. After all, only a very few people can realize what kind of impact communication satellites will bring to human life. Change.
But for the vast majority of ordinary people, communication satellites are just a piece of news in a newspaper. After all, it takes time for science to truly impact their lives.
It was about to dawn, and Xu Zinuo got up early to get the newspaper as usual. When the newspaper was distributed at the distribution point, he specifically read the news in the newspaper.
"Last night, Asia TV used communication satellites to broadcast the Nanyang Football League live for the first time..."
He is no stranger to this game. He watched it with his friends at a neighbor's house last night. The game was held in Dongning. The game was very exciting.
"Satellite broadcast?"
Xu Zinuo didn't know what was new about this at all, and then he rode his bicycle and delivered newspapers door to door. At the same time, Some peers were there delivering milk.
According to some places, in Nanyang, this capitalist society, people live extremely miserable lives. It can be said that they live in dire straits. Not only are the workers here being exploited by the capitalists, but even their children, those seven or eight years old, have to do "child labor" to support their families.
They get up early every day to deliver newspapers and milk. In short, they are "squeezed", but they are different from the "child laborers" in the pictures who are ragged, hungry, and full of grief and anger.
Most of these children, who have been oppressed and tortured by capitalists, run and jump to place newspapers and milk in front of residents' houses.
When the "child workers" get home, they will take a shower, drink a glass of milk, and eat an egg. As for whether the staple food is bread, steamed buns, or rice balls, it depends on whether the mother is from Tang Dynasty or Europe. American or Japanese.
However, although Mary is of German descent, she prepares three kinds of breakfast for her family every day.
Porridge, steamed buns, and eggs for the husband, milk, bread, bacon, and eggs for the son and eldest daughter, milk powder and rice noodles for the younger daughter, and breast milk for the fourth child who has just turned one month old.
When the family was sitting at the dining table having breakfast and Mary was joking with the children, Zhao Deliang, as the head of the family, had already unfolded the newspaper.
Reading newspapers is a habit of most Nanyang people, and Zhao Deliang is no exception.
“Pfft!”
Suddenly he was reading the newspaper and almost laughed out loud.
“What’s wrong? Is there any interesting news?”
Mary asked.
Although Mary, who was on maternity leave, would read the newspaper to pass the time after her husband sent the children to kindergarten or daycare, she still looked at her husband curiously after his laughter.
“It’s okay, it’s just a piece of news, a notice issued by the official residence: It is said that in order to establish a correct view of history, from now on Nanyang will not be able to make changes in various official documents, books, newspapers and publications, except for quoting historical documents. The name "Manchu" is always required, and no titles such as "Qing Dynasty" or "Qing Dynasty" are allowed. "
Mary looked at her husband with a blank expression. As for A Ming and A Xiang, they also didn't. They all looked confused.
Is this funny?
"No, this is not a while ago. Some scholars in the newspaper suggested that in order to enhance unity and eliminate misunderstandings, Nanyang should ban the use of the title "Manchu" like other places. No, the official residence replied, this reply... It’s really unexpected! They might as well not have proposed it. No one cared about it when the question was asked, but it ended up like this.”
Obviously, not everyone can do it. Sensing Zhao Deliang's laughter, Mary preferred to read gossip, celebrity scandals and other news compared to national events.
"Mom, the teacher said that school will end an hour late this afternoon, and we will go for an outing to the zoo." A Ming, who was drinking a gulp of milk, muttered vaguely. As soon as he raised his head, his eyes were fixed on his father, who was sitting in the upper seat, drinking porridge and reading the newspaper delivered to his door in the morning:
"Dad, give me five cents of pocket money!"
< br>Zhao Deliang, who was drinking porridge and reading the newspaper without raising his head, came up with the idea of child labor at home.
"Okay, but you have to clean your room this week! You have to earn your own pocket money."
"Okay!"
After the family had breakfast, Zhao Deliang took his children When he went out and was about to get in the car, Mary, who was standing at the door with her youngest son in her arms, reminded him. "Don't forget to go to the post office and send the things to Mao Tou later."
"Well, I understand."
"I also need to make an appointment for Xiangze's physical examination. They are already one month old, and there are vaccines!"
At his wife's instructions, Zhao Deliang drove the children to kindergarten and daycare respectively, and then drove there. company, but before going to the company, I have to go to a community clinic to make an appointment for a physical examination for my younger son. Although the physical examination and vaccines are free, these need to be booked in advance. It didn't take more than half an hour to complete the appointment. Although it took a little time, Zhao Deliang was not worried about being late - with the appointment slip, even being late would not affect his full attendance.
This is the privilege of being a parent, and of course it is also the means used by Nanyang officials to promote it. Long maternity leave, nurseries, kindergartens, free milk powder and child care subsidies are all to increase the fertility rate.
Having more children and bringing happiness is never an empty talk in Nanyang, it can bring benefits. Zhao Deliang knows this very well.
“This year’s tax refund, almost the full amount will be refunded!”
The tax refund that Zhao Deliang mentioned refers to personal income tax. In Nanyang, no matter how high or low your income is, you are required to pay personal income tax, and no one can be exempted.
Even those who run small businesses must file tax returns in accordance with the law. Otherwise, once the IRS comes to find out that they have not reported taxes in accordance with the law and have engaged in tax evasion, they will not only be subject to heavy fines. And jail time.
In the past few years, countless people have fallen into the hands of the IRS, and they have all paid an extremely heavy price.
Because of this, people in Nanyang have long developed the habit of filing taxes. There are even specialized tax preparers in Nanyang, and even primary and secondary schools have specialized tax filing teaching.
Although everyone here pays personal tax, in the following year, corresponding tax refunds will be implemented based on family size and income.
Among the personal income tax deductions, the child care deduction with the largest deduction is 20 yuan for one child, 30 yuan for the second child, 40 yuan for the third child, 50 yuan for the fourth child, and 50 yuan for the fifth child. The deduction is 80 yuan, and the deduction amount for six or more children is 120 yuan, and this deduction is cumulative.
According to this deduction amount, giving birth to six or seven children, let alone an ordinary person like Zhao Deliang with a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan, even his wife, a hospital head nurse with a monthly salary of more than 60 yuan, would be seven or seven. With a deduction of RMB 8, you basically don’t have to pay any tax.
“It’s better to have more children, not to mention the more blessings you have. You can also get more tax refunds.”
With this thought in mind, Zhao Deliang drove all the way to the unit , after parking the car, he went to change his uniform as usual, then poured himself a cup of hot tea in the duty room, and then sat in the guard box, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
This job is very easy. If you exclude the two night shifts a week, it is simply a job where you sit and get paid. Occasionally, some employees from the Food and Drug Administration would greet him as they entered.
"Master Zhao! Good morning!"
Li Shun, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, greeted as he passed the duty room.
"Dr. Li, you come so early every day!"
Zhao Deliang said with a smile.
Dr. Li and he are from the same hometown, both from Anhui Province. Although they are a little far apart, in Nanyang, there is always some friendship between fellow villagers.
"Some things need to be rushed."
Li Shun said as he walked into the building,
Zhao Deliang, who was sitting in the guard box, once again picked up newspapers and magazines and looked at While reading the newspaper, he picked up the tea cup again and took a sip. At this moment, a piece of news caught his eye, but it did not attract his attention.
“Nanyang Persian Gulf Oil Company discovered a large oil field in its offshore exploration area!”
For Zhao Deliang, this is just a piece of news, nothing big. Then, he turned his attention to the parking lot and looked at the cars entering and exiting.
And he didn't know the sensation caused by this news...
