"Unscrupulous" fate
(Baonghean) - The atmosphere in the coffee shop today is very unusual. Some are angry, others are embarrassed by the call "Please have mercy on the low-salary officials, those who retired before 1992 - 1993, spend less, save money to increase salary" by a representative of the people and a Standing Member of the Judicial Committee at the discussion session on the 2014 state budget on the afternoon of October 31.
The angry and resentful group are of course those who are “self-produced, self-consumed” and do not enjoy the “rain” from the state budget because they feel that they are not “loved” by the National Assembly representatives. The hesitant group that feels pitied are a few “umbrella-carrying” people who have a little money from their salary books. No matter how small, they are still entitled to a salary for life, regardless of the world’s circumstances, and are a million times happier than those who do not have a salary, but sometimes still self-deprecatingly admit that they are “dishonest” or “unscrupulous” and then smile as if they are about to cry. Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense and unfriendly, the female owner of the tea shop was “concerned” and tried to ease the situation with a neutral solution: “Oh well, an increase is the same, no increase is the same. Sometimes we will be caught up in the consequences of the increase.”
Then she explained that every time the government started to raise wages, prices in the market would skyrocket in a “shortcut” manner. When they actually increased, prices would break out in a spectacular way. Wages would increase once, prices would increase twice, three times. As a result, the increase was like no increase and sometimes even worse than an increase. And every time like that, ordinary people would suffer because theyThere is no salary increase, while everything is going up in price like "pouring water on the rain". Think carefully, the side that is loved is also suffering, the side that is not loved is also suffering. That means the same, the whole village is in harmony. Why be resentful with each other and make each other suffer. The best thing is to live and behave with each other in love and friendship... Hearing that, the faces of the "drinkers" relaxed and everyone excitedly discussed and shared with each other about daily life and even about increases and decreases in a peaceful atmosphere filled with friendship.
It is true that “withered inside, fresh outside”, smiling and saying that, but in fact the tea seller also feels terribly sad. She feels so unfair. The National Assembly belongs to all the people, she sells iced tea and tea cups to make a living, even though she does not have any salary, but she is also “a child of Lac, a grandchild of Hong”, a citizen of Vietnam, why is she not cared for like those who receive a salary. If the salary is too low, too miserable, unable to cope with the work, why doesn’t anyone voluntarily quit their job and go out to sell water like her? The more she thinks about it, the more she feels sorry for herself and for the fate of those who are also... “unscrupulous” like her.
