Chapter 347 Slums

Mexico City, the capital of the country of Mexico, is very similar to the capitals of many Latin American countries. It occupies 20% of the country's population, making Mexico City a super city with a population of more than 20 million.

However, under this population base, excessive urbanization has led to more than 4 million people living in slums in Mexico City. Among them, 1.3 million people live in Kema Huakan, which is connected to Mexico City. The city is squeezed, and it doesn't belong to the Federal District, which makes life here quite difficult.

However, thanks to Mexico's slum renovation plan, Kemahuakan's current image has broken away from the impression of traditional slums. At least relying on the foundation that has survived before, it looks much better than many places in Hengsan. Why is this place also on the verge of Mexico City, the capital of the country of Mexico.

It looks a bit like a remote county town.

It's just that although the external environment seems to have improved a lot, it can't change the fundamental problem of Kima Huakan. Most of the people here don't have a relatively stable income and can only do odd jobs.

Moreover, because abortion is illegal except in the Federal District, there are a large number of single-parent families in Mexico due to extramarital births. Coupled with the income problem in the slums, even the most basic "eating and drinking" problems still occur.

The high degree of urbanization in Mexico City has caused the shortage of water resources here, coupled with the impact of beautiful capital, it has directly become a survival problem right in front of us.

Although the Mexican authorities have imposed many restrictions, a lot of groundwater is polluted, there is no water available during the drought and there is a shortage of water.

In addition to reducing the quality of water supply, it can only be alleviated by the "overhaul" of water supply in slums.

And even in the water supply period, the tap water is still coming out weakly and slowly, and the water quality is quite bad. It is undrinkable even if it is boiled, and even ordinary water purifiers are useless.

Drinking water of this quality for a long time will have a huge burden and impact on the body.

So even the residents in the slums will buy bottled water as much as possible, but sometimes, there may be a phenomenon that they can't buy it even if they have money...

Weiner was born into such a family.

The mother gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and raised him and his younger brother alone. Such difficult conditions also made Weiner sensible at an early age. He started helping with housework and taking care of his younger brother when he was five or six years old.

Fortunately, Mexico also has compulsory education. The schools in the slum area are directly large "nursing centers". In this kind of teaching environment, it is almost a luxury to learn something useful, and it all depends on the self-consciousness of a very small number of students. .

Weiner's family conditions are here. It is impossible to have time to study after returning from school. Once he is out of touch, he will naturally start to resist the study itself.

Like many of my peers, I was exposed to some gang ideas early on.

Because he was young and daring to fight, Weiner soon stood out and was appreciated by the gang leader and became the group leader.

Gradually swelled in the sound of "team leader" and "beautiful", and gradually lost himself, until he was shot in the thigh during an operation.

Although he was lucky enough to get his life back, his leg was completely useless.

As for the little boss he was thinking about, he gave him some money and then completely dismissed him. At first, some people might come to visit him, but then he gradually lost contact.

Originally, he thought that after he started to become 'beautiful', he could lead a good life with his mother and younger brother, but the reality is that he has become a new burden for his mother instead.

This also made him understand that this road is not acceptable, and the little brother must not repeat his mistakes!

What made him quite gratified was that even in such an environment, his younger brother Simpson was still a top scorer in the school.

And Weiner is now limping while participating in some odd jobs to earn money as much as possible. At the same time, he has arranged chores at home, and also did this part that originally belonged to his younger brother Simpson, so that he can have a safe learning environment.

Let him realize his dream and have the opportunity to enter Mexico Metropolitan University...

"Brother, I'm back."

Simpson does not have Weiner's jumping energy at all, and looks very quiet, which is a relatively rare character in Mexico.

Even their mother was like a lion when she was irritable. They saw her quarreling with others more than once.

But that's the way of life here!

Simpson looks a lot fatter than his brother, but he looks a little puffy and even a little bloated.

"The rice is in the pot, drink more milk to supplement nutrition, milk is cheaper, drink less cola."

Seeing his younger brother picking up the Coke again, Weiner resisted instinctively. He had heard that this thing is not a good thing, and if it is drunk as water for a long time, it is not good for the health.

Now it is actually drinking water. There may be a shortage of water in the dry season, but the beverage factory has its own private well...

"Hey~, haha, brother, that's how you came here."

Simpson hiccupped and said with a smile, and then he once again held up the Coke bottle in high spirits to assure his brother:

"In the future, I must go to a metropolitan university and join Umbrella after graduation, so that no one will dare to bully us again."

"Why has it changed? Didn't you say to take us to the beautiful country before?"

Hearing the change of his younger brother's new goal, there was a hint of doting in Weiner's eyes.

"Hey, I used to think that there was awe-inspiring, but now I find that Umbrella is even more awe-inspiring. Can you stay here instead of leaving your hometown..."

Going to Dameimei is a choice that many poor people in Mexico can't get along with.

Even Damei's Mexican gangs are famous for their cruelty and cruelty, and many special businesses are often derived.

However, some changes began to take place after Umbrella entered Mexico.

At first Umbrella took root, it was really a small dozen a day, a big dozen every three days.

In the territory of the Mexican country, if you don't give face to those businessmen, no one will have good fruit before.

No one is optimistic about Umbrella.

There are too many examples before our eyes. There are not too many examples of people who just took office and said that they would rectify, but were shot dead in the office afterwards.

But when Umbrella security began to settle in, there would be funerals from major businessmen and gangs every day, and every time it was a beheading operation, every time it was a success!

At the beginning, even the newspapers and the media were talking about Umbrella's fault, saying that they disrupted the existing order and made people live in panic.

But slowly, with the passage of time, Umbrella's security was still standing, and after the major talkers changed batches after batches, they began to be defeated no matter how hard they were.

There was even a performance that he avoided when running for the speaker, which made Umbrella completely stand firm!

Standing firm until now, when Umbrella started to build various factories here.

Now even if it is a dog that comes out of the Umbrella factory, no wild dog dares to snatch it!

To put it bluntly, even if only one member of the family in Mexico is working as a cleaner in Umbrella's newly built factory, then no gang in this family would dare to mess with it!

Umbrella's bodyguard was directly killed, and the corpse was enough to dye the river red!

Even Weiner felt a little pity. If Umbrella appeared earlier, he might have a new pursuit...

"Today, a classmate of mine brought a bracelet from Umbrella Company. It's so cool. I don't know where he stole the money to buy it."

After Simpson drank his Coke, he began to eat dinner, a local cooking method of wrapping corn kernels and some meat in corn leaves.

It was all prepared by Weiner.

He's crippled now, but still has no problem doing this.

"Brother's craftsmanship has improved again. Maybe he can go out and set up a stall in the future."

After eating, Simpson licked the ketchup on his hand, knowing that this was the new livelihood his brother was considering.

"It will be smashed if you go to show it now, but it should be soon."

Weiner said with a smile, and then thought of something

"By the way, the inspection you made an appointment for is tomorrow, right? I'll go with you then..."

Simpson has not been feeling well recently, a little edema and fatigue easily, so he made an appointment for a checkup.

No matter how this is Mo City, the capital of the country of Mexico, there will still be institutions that should exist, and the prescription drugs in the country of Mexico only cost half the price...

Third watch, first watch~

Note: In the reality of our parallel world, although Latin America bought back surface water services in the early 21st century, the groundwater polluted by those water companies is difficult to recover, resulting in a large gap. During the drought last year, the Mexican authorities called The beverage factory stopped making beverages, but it was useless. A large number of available private wells were still in the hands of beverage factories and capital, and they did not reduce their production. Instead, they took advantage of this opportunity to sell more Drinks make money.

Many water companies are from Gaul and Britain, but most of the grain merchants and beverage merchants are big and beautiful, and the capital is also different.

In addition, it seems that last year or the year before last, in order to curb the domestic obesity rate and related risk diseases, the Mexican authorities increased taxes on companies with high obesity control factors such as Coke. After the tax, the price of Coke is already more expensive than bottled water. But their tap water still cannot be used as drinking water, and they need to buy bottled water. Coupled with their love for sugar, they still like to drink Coke.
