Chapter 007 Cultural Differences

After dinner, Yamada Miku took the initiative to take charge of cleaning and washing dishes. At this time, RB girls were no longer as old as in movies and TV dramas, and needed to kneel down to welcome their husbands home, but they would definitely do all kinds of housework.

Their good habits have been maintained and continued into the future. Even in 2021 when Lin Yaren is in, RB girls generally do various housework.

For RB girls, it is a compulsory personal skill. The reputation of RB wives being gentle and virtuous is also derived from this.

The original words Lin Yutang once said, the ideal life of world harmony is to live in a countryside in the UK, with American water, electricity, gas pipes in the house, hire a Chinese chef, marry a RB wife, and find a French lover.

If RB girls don’t know how to do housework, it will be the biggest disadvantage just as RB men don’t know how to make money to support their families, no doubt about it.

Sasaki's husband Ken Watanabe publicly criticized his wife for not being able to do housework, which led to his cheating. In the eyes of foreigners, it is just a ridiculous excuse for a man.

Even if you want to find a high-sounding excuse to defend your personal cheating, you will find a better one. This has seen a weird person, but never seen such a weird reason for cheating.

However, in the eyes of RB people, Sasaki was even more unforgivable. In the end, Sasaki came forward to apologize for not being able to do housework.

The reason why Lin Yaren suddenly remembered such a thing was that he did not understand RB society and culture in the past, but now he has inherited all the memories of the original owner of this body and understands it.

Even though the other party is a Japanese Chinese, he was born and raised in RB Yokohama, and he also attended RB people's middle school and was deeply influenced and influenced by his culture.

Although RB society is a social organization and framework structure with men as the core and has a cultural tradition of superiority and inferiority between men and women, it is also based on the premise that men and women reach a basic consensus and each play their strengths.

At this time in 1983, as long as the RB man had a formal job, he could completely support the basic food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses of a whole family based on his income alone.

It is completely different from the family composition structure in mainland China in the same period, which is the dual-employment model, that is, the couple working.

For RB men, it is really not easy to get the money. They work overtime until late at night almost every day and work more than ten hours a day, which is the norm.

Even in 2021, RB young people do not think that overtime is an abnormal category, but instead think that it is abnormal not to work overtime.

This is mainly because the income composition of RB workers has always been composed of two parts, except for the half-year prizes, transportation subsidies, meal subsidies and other benefits that are twice a year.

Part of it is the monthly basic salary, and the other part is the overtime salary. The latter requires a certain amount of working hours per month before it will be paid.

Overtime pay accounts for a relatively large proportion of the monthly income, generally about one-third. Living on a basic monthly salary alone will make you very difficult.

Therefore, the daily overtime hours become a normal working state for RB workers to voluntarily. If there is no class to be added, it will naturally mean that there is no overtime pay, which will negatively affect personal monthly income.

If an RB man goes home early regularly, his family will first worry about the root cause of the problem lies in economic reasons.

After all, a husband’s salary income is often the entire income of a family, and the monthly household expenses are relatively fixed. Once the income decreases, it will be troublesome.

If the worst situation of layoffs or bankruptcy occurs in the husband's company, the family's life is quite likely to be in chaos.

RB’s unemployment benefits are comparable to those in mainland China. That is, once an individual is unemployed, it will be difficult to get this money from the relevant departments.

To put it bluntly, the coverage is too narrow, so it cannot be compared with the unemployment benefits in the United States.

Secondly, it is interpersonal relationships, worrying about being excluded by colleagues and not being popular in the company? RB men are afraid of losing their jobs, especially those who are middle-aged and need to support their families and provide for their children to go to school.

Once you are unemployed, it will be difficult to find a formal job with a good income. If you are unemployed for a long time, it will become more difficult to find a job. After all, the RB workplace attaches great importance to the continuity of your personal career.

Often at this time, there will be a divorce in eight out of ten. The wife either takes the initiative to file for divorce or takes the children back to her parents' home. Another true portrayal of the sadness of poor couples.

Takuya Yamada sighed suddenly, interrupting Lin Yaren's thoughts. Lin Yaren turned the head on his neck and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm very confused about my future." Takuya Yamada drooped his head, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his brows frowned and said something.

Lin Yaren didn't feel surprised at all. Who had never been confused when he was young? He asked without a smile: "Do you feel that your ideal of becoming a lawyer is gradually beginning to break?"

Takuya Yamada nodded without any concealment: "Can I really choose to work in a big company?"

"What's wrong with big-hand companies? Most people are so sharp-headed that they can't enter big-hand companies. Although you are about to start your sophomore year, it is necessary to prepare early information about entering a big-hand company.

The more famous a big company is, the more competitive it is. If you succeed in becoming a formal member of the company, even if you cannot become rich and powerful, you will have a decent life in the future.”

Lin Yaren knows well that when RB men find employment, their first goal is to target those big-name enterprises. These are not only large enterprises and companies, but also large hospitals, schools, etc.

The job is stable, and the promotion channels are clear and clear. The income is good, the welfare is good, and the social status is high. As long as it is not a senior management position, the family background is not very important. It is very suitable for people like Takuya Yamada who are from the middle and lower classes of society.

Secondly, they choose to work as ordinary civil servants. Because RB civil servants and politicians have two systems, there is an insurmountable gap.

If you want to be the mayor, city councillor or district councillor of Yokohama City, if you have a public office, you have to resign before you can run for election.

Ordinary civil servants can never be promoted from bottom to vertically to the position of leading officials in the place. In addition, in RB, as long as they graduate from high school, they can take the ordinary civil servant exam.

Even if you pass the qualification, you will be a marginalized public office in various government departments. If you want to enter the real bureaucratic system of RB, a bachelor's degree is a must, and it is best to graduate from a prestigious university, so that you can be qualified to participate in the high-level civil service examination.
