13 years, my uncle graduated from German and wanted to open a German training class with my classmates in China, but my grandfather stopped me.
My grandfather retired, and he just wanted my uncle to join the army. My grandfather forced my uncle to join the army as soon as he graduated.
Later, when it was time to enlist in the army, my uncle didn't perform well without him, so he didn't become a sergeant, so he had to retire and go home. Because I missed the original draft and had two years of military career, I was basically out of touch with society, so I couldn't find a job. My uncle wanted to learn technology, so he entered the construction site and became an electrician.
My grandfather watched his eldest son graduate from college, but he was not a good soldier. He even went to work as an electrician on a construction site, but he was always dismissed as worthless. Every time we meet, we are cynical.
The bad blood between father and son is getting bigger and bigger, and my grandfather no longer cares about my uncle's life.
My uncle is almost 30 years old. He has no house, no car and is single. He has met many blind dates and doesn't like his poverty. Nobody takes him seriously.
One year, my uncle from S University asked him if he had any entrepreneurial projects recently, and if he dared to start a business abroad to earn more money.
My uncle agreed without thinking, thinking that it would be better to go abroad and not invite his family if he was half dead at home. At that time, they borrowed it and raised 200,000 yuan to go to Germany.
When I went to Germany in the first year, there was no news at all. My family thinks something's wrong. I can't. I can't get in touch with them because of many relationships. My grandfather didn't care about me at all, thinking that what happened would be better. As a result, in the third year of Chinese New Year, my family received 6,543,800 yuan from Germany, which was a message left by my uncle. He started a decoration company in Germany in partnership with his classmates, and has settled in Germany and will not come back.
I traveled to Europe two years ago, and my uncle insisted that I go to Germany for a few days. I was shocked when I arrived at his home. A 300-square-meter single-family villa, a 600-square-meter garden and a private swimming pool in the yard. My aunt is German. She was only 25 when she married my uncle.
When I first arrived in Germany, my uncle and his classmates suffered a lot. On the one hand, they must expand the company's business. On the other hand, they have to introduce their business from door to door every day and help local people repair their houses for free. On the other hand, they have to work to pay off their debts.
In the third year, business picked up and orders increased. It's not a problem to get 4000 euros a month.
My aunt met my uncle when he was expanding his business.
They met one night. At that time, the lines in the residential area were out of order. My uncle wanted to repair it for free, so he took the opportunity to accumulate some customers and came to my aunt's house.
My uncle rang the doorbell as soon as I called the power company during my period. My aunt thought it was a power company. When she opened the door, she said that your power company came to the door too fast, right? Although it was stupid, my uncle was glad that he didn't. T kicked out and repaired the circuit directly.
At the moment when the light was on, my uncle saw the hostess, and he took a fancy to my aunt at a glance.
But my aunt, as a white woman, is very respectful and indifferent to electricians.
In order to have more contact opportunities, my uncle deliberately made my aunt's insurance trip in the United States particularly easy. In the long run, my aunt's circuit is always broken and my uncle always repairs it for free. Plus, my uncle often talks in German, so there is no obstacle to speaking. Over time, menstruation slowly let go of the guard and was directly won by my uncle.
During my visit to Germany, I found life in Germany very complicated.
How I felt when I first arrived in Germany. 1. Germans are like coconuts. They look cold and get along well.
German girls look cold, but in fact they are very emotional and shy.
On the first day I arrived at my uncle's house, I was shocked by the contrast between the two.
When I arrived at my uncle's house, my uncle had not seen his family for several years. He asked me some questions about my grandparents, but my aunt's attitude embarrassed me. She has been sitting on the side, saying nothing but pouring me a glass of cold water, and even saying a word in German. I secretly asked my uncle, was my aunt angry when I came? My uncle smiled and said, no, that German is like this.
Although I explained it at that time, I felt very uncomfortable. When I go to find someone else's American home in China, I will at least be polite. Even if I pretend, I will ask what I want for lunch. This German aunt is very nice. She didn't say a word. It's very cold.
Until lunch, when I was cooking for them, I accidentally touched my aunt and sister's hands, and we both subconsciously shrank back. My aunt and sister S blushed, smiled shyly and ran away.
Later, after a few days of contact, I found that German girls were cold on the outside and hot on the inside, which made them shy and coquettish when they saw the boy they liked.
There are indeed many beautiful women on the streets of Germany.
When I played football in Germany, I went to Dü sseldorf and Cologne. It can be said that 80% of the streets are beautiful women with super high values.
As the saying goes, one white covers all the ugliness, which is very suitable for German girls. In fact, Europeans are all three-dimensional, with high noses, deep eye sockets, blond hair and blue eyes, which are not in line with domestic aesthetics. But in Douste and Cologne, among these white girls, these things are nothing.
Especially the Germanic girl that my aunt and uncle met when they took me to the party. Their skin is as white and bright as fresh snow. Even if they don't wear makeup, walking in the street without makeup is only a beautiful level.
Only one thing, most German girls have a short rush hour. Basically, it began to decline around the age of 28, and a large number of people in their thirties became German aunts. My uncle said it had something to do with their diet and living habits. German girls are not as delicate as French and Swedish girls. They will spend too much time and money on makeup and maintenance.
3. Germans are relatively independent.
In Germany, families and clans basically exist independently. They generally don't interfere with each other, rarely gossip, and are very concerned about personal space. If you disturb your neighbor recklessly and enthusiastically, you are likely to be excluded.
Some knowledge of life in Germany. 1. The poor in Germany are lazy, but they live well.
The poor in Germany are all over Germany's major cities. They can afford to rent houses, electrical appliances, food, clothing, housing and transportation, just like ordinary people. But one thing is that they are too lazy to be surprised.
There are 65,438+06 poor people for every 65,438+000 Germans, and 4 out of every 65,438+00 poor people live on unemployment benefits.
Because these poor Germans have hands and feet, and some even have diplomas, they just don't want to find a job, even the simplest physical labor, such as moving bricks on the construction site and being a cleaner, to earn more money.
For them, the salary they earn is almost the same as the state subsidy, so they just need to work and wait for the support of the state.
German office workers have a fast pace of life.
Before I came to Germany, I heard my uncle say that life in Germany is a kind of retirement and very comfortable. I work seven hours and get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon, which basically doesn't exist in real big cities in Germany.
In the morning, ordinary white-collar workers grab the bus with breakfast, or they can miss the bus without running. T see them go to work slowly on weekdays.
German bread is really hard.
I have never eaten nuts with a hammer in Germany. Basically, I beat them with German bread, because German bread is really harder than stone. My aunt's family also has German bread handed down by her grandparents, which has never been broken. It is said that it can be eaten, and it is very hard and will not even be moldy.
The local food in Germany is terrible.
During my stay in Germany, I can eat some authentic Chinese food except when my uncle cooks. At other times, it's basically potatoes, sauerkraut, sausages and pork elbows.
The cooking methods of German local dishes are also monotonous, except frying or roasting. Besides, their tastes are a bit like those of the northeast people in China. They like to eat sauerkraut and pork elbows. They like to eat large pieces of meat and then eat it with kimchi.
5. Germans are obsessed with beer
In Germany, many Germans drink beer as water. Germans drink differently from China. They usually like to drink together in the name of parties. The purpose of drinking is also very simple, that is, to enjoy the feeling of being drunk and drink two large glasses of draft beer without eating.
A while ago, it was reported that Germany withdrew its troops from Afghanistan, other countries were busy withdrawing troops, and Germany was busy withdrawing 22,600 liters of alcoholic beverages, including 60,000 cans of beer, so beer was more important to Germans than armaments.
6. Germany has good welfare.
Germany and the United States have perfect social welfare and are typical welfare-oriented countries.
My uncle can buy a villa in Germany because there are so many benefits that I can get a large subsidy without working.
First of all, it is the children's money. As long as you work in Germany and pay taxes, you can enjoy your children's money. In other words, the state gives money to families with children every month. Families with 1 or 2 children can receive 204 euros (1564 RMB) per month, 265,438 euros for 3 children and 235 euros for 4 children.
In addition, there are maternity allowance, parents' allowance for boarding children and lifelong free education, that is, lifelong free education. If you can get a doctorate, it's still free.
7. The taxes in Germany and the United States are surprisingly high, and the middle class is under great pressure.
In Germany, personal income tax is paid in six grades, and the tax rate ranges from 14% to the highest 42% (after deducting the tax allowance).
For singles and couples with good jobs, the tax is very high, reaching 30%-40% only (excluding social security).
For families with only one spouse working, the tax is relatively low.
If you are engaged in sideline business, basically about half of people have to pay taxes (if you are engaged in sideline business, it will basically exceed the tax allowance). Moreover, the bonus of non-contract salary is paid according to the 6-level tax card. Therefore, my uncle can earn 4000 euros a month, even if the order is large, there are many bonuses. After paying taxes, there are basically only more than 2,000 euros left.
It is easy to understand that the reason why Germany has so many benefits is basically the contribution of the middle class and social animals in bad karma.
Using the money earned by the middle class to subsidize the poor and the elderly, the hardest life in Germany is the young and middle-aged labor force.
8. German parents don't care much about their children. S score
In Germany, the college entrance examination is not the only way to find a job, and you can live well with skills.
Like my electrician uncle, my aunt's salary in America is the same as that of a doctor in a hospital, so getting a good diploma in Germany is not the only way out. Many low-threshold technical jobs in society can get good pay. Because labor is expensive, even if you go to the construction site, your income is good.
Therefore, ordinary parents in Germany will not force their children to study or attend remedial classes. They think that children should choose their own direction and do what they are good at.
To sum up, if you stay in Germany for a short time, you may feel that life in Germany is very easy. You will eat, drink and not be poor all your life.
After a long stay, you will find that not everyone can enjoy the comfort of Germany.
Many young people also have the pressure to rent a house, buy a car and pay huge income tax in their normal lives. Therefore, a comfortable life is based on money. Without money, they can only eat and wear, just like most poor people in Germany. Forget about the rest of the big villa and afternoon tea.
