The Mazovian Mariana is a lot of weeds. In the field grows anemic barley, rye bit further. Harvest this year will not be plump. Because tractor barely languished because Marian planted wasted bought “the cheapness of ‘grain, a neighbor and so on combine harvest no longer lend. Last summer, Marian almost that combine the cottage is not entered. This year the focus is on hard times. Maybe in the future it will work out? Can get the money on time with the Union and not, as now, when he had to borrow and still not enough. Hence wasted grain and in general all in vain. But the Union can no longer so sure, so generally do not know what it will be. Because subsidies can also come to an end, and then … Fear afraid.
– If not for all the fuss, as the government changed in branches (Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture – aut.), all would be well. But I have to overdo it. By this resulted this whole delay of payments. They make the new is not, but if the total blame them? Apparently, if the former is not nabałaganili, everything would be fine. Yes, people talk, but I was there a good change for now I do not see – says Marian.
On his property, in addition to 10 hectares średniourodzajnej land and 10 hectares of forest, consists of: two cows, eight hens, one rooster, ten rabbits, two pigs, one old dog, a young dog and cat with the cut tail. Even if you add to this barely holding on wind barn (it is an old tractor), a house shared with his ex-wife and 12-year-old Skoda, the result is poor. And Marian knows that. – has not developed, maybe if not divorce, it would be better, but who knows where? And so man lives from what animals give, and with what can earn some extra money with a neighbor. And of EU subsidies, but this year – as a reward for seeds and what is borrowed – it will not be nothing. And how will the drought, it’s in general a nightmare, although I hope that the new government will support farmers. I especially like that they have little. They promised to help, right? I am waiting for the insurance, which they say in Parliament, to fulfill his promises. A lot of people complain, but I’m focused positively. Yet I give them a chance. Because otherwise it’s just shoot himself in the head, that once again the man entrusted and in the field has given to move out.
Better sort of goods
good feeling due to the recent changes do not leave for Christina , which runs the only shop in the village grocery industry. For several months the goods out faster. Even the more expensive the wine, yogurt and sweets. And a colorful magazine for children, with stickers. You know, we always have someone Krech something will take, but you can see a slight wind of change. – once unthinkable would be buying fishnet cheese or tea, and now every time I have a question about the goat cheese, soy milk, good meats and soft toilet paper for the price of 10 zł for 8 rolls – he admits. – Once customers also see that elegant, dressed. They come to shop as a church. Of course, there are also those, which in this festive clothes seem 300 zł alcohol and then walk around the village nawaleni as a barn. But every one who seems a pension, allowance or money with 500+ is, after all his business and nobody nothing to it. It is important that the kids hungry is not running.
Krystyna working in the shop for nearly 15 years. For some time helping her daughter, who may in the future take over the business. Ania is 17 years old, for the year will be to graduate and would love to get to school catering. Not really, but believes in his abilities and is afraid of the changes that are to come. – The closest I got to Warsaw, but if there was I do? A little frightens me look for a room to rent or fight for the dorm, but I have to try. I can always come back to the village, to the store – says. – I do not know what will change next year. Apparently vocational schools are to be closed down, so how will the one that I chose? For now, no one can tell. And as it turns out that the changes will no longer be so easy to get, that you will need to have a high average? I am an ordinary rural elementary school and junior high school finishing and high school also I chose due to kilometers and not the level. And what will be required expensive textbooks and teaching aids, which I can not afford? Anyway, my brother graduated, and still the work is hard. Although after this gastronomic you probably would have had a job, even in agritourism, near here.
For now, Anne begins summer job in a shop, and the strawberries. Waking up at dawn, stock, then changed to the house and to the store. From September to return to school and prepare for exams. Day in and day 8 km bike asfaltówce without shoulders. – I’m used to. Worse, I was going to switch to pedestrian crossings in Warsaw – adds with a laugh. – Here tractors will not touch me, and in a big city, you know. Although bike lanes are.
Christine: – Maybe even a loan or a loan to me at the end give, it would be at the dorm, if Anne did not get a scholarship. As the son also wanted to school, to Warsaw, it was difficult, now young people are to have it easier, somehow more for them all. At the national studies will also be easier to get. We’ll see, but it goes a new, so-bones feel. Close secondary schools, and very well, because the same problems through. Once the school system more fair and to see a return.
Pride does not allow
5 km from the store Krystyna in a town of 10 thousand. residents living her son Carol . He finished technical college, works as a driver of a delivery truck. Because nothing else has found. A girlfriend is waiting for it to be finally declared his. But how can you declare as public housing, and after the death of her grandmother might take. With a salary of 1500 zł no chance for a loan, and thus flat. In the worst case, we come back to the village for the mother and sister, who can leave to study in Warsaw. Because he sees no other way.
Sympathy is pushing to Charles looked around for a better paying job, but while reading daily announcements, nothing new appears. He had tried to spread the leaflets, worked in a butcher shop and a bakery. After a few months it turned out that there is no chance for advancement. In the end, friend got him a gig as a driver. To Warsaw for work will not go, if anything, more to Germany, because England is probably already meaningless. Besides a secret from his mother and girlfriend checked, they would have a chance in Germany – and with his calculations, and from what he read in online forums, that would give cope. German champion is not, but he speaks. Wyjechałby a few years, he would earn on an apartment and returned. Or maybe the girl to come to him? Be permanently abroad it would not, but to go and earn it, why not? He would show that it can. I can przełamałby losing streak. – Everyone around saying that after the change of government will change, it will work, but for the moment nothing is happening. Still promise only new jobs, but where and for whom? I send every week CVs, even to companies in Warsaw, dojeżdżałbym with a buddy, but the dog with a lame leg is not resumes. It does not matter whether one is vocational school, high school or bachelor. Labour no. I’m frustrated. I would like to start a family, but in these conditions I do not have a chance, and to help to say no, not quite.
Sympathy Charles Marzena in their village, they assumed a manicurist. The company founded in January, previously worked in black. Today he has so many clients that sometimes takes them up on Sunday. The living room is one room with a separate bathroom on the ground floor of his parents’ house. The walls of colored powder pink, white furniture and orchids, a lot of orchids. Dressed in matched the color of the walls apron Marzena accept today the sixth client. Despite Saturday takes from 8 in the morning, and the phone still rings at least a dozen times during our conversation. Marzena, a tall blonde, holding the camera to your ear, with a sigh sorry, but today has been set. Invites you to the first available dates. Probably because her heart to countries that Charles, though education and skills, there is no happiness to work. – I would urge him to establish his own company, the more that the new authorities promise to reduce the CIT small business. It is still not enough support, but that will change.
But Charles is too stubborn. Risk-averse, preferring to work with someone than at home. Scare it matters Accounting and insecurity. Marzena even suspected that Charles had something in the likeness of depression. Because it’s impossible that someone with such capabilities was afraid of risk. From the apartment it would give cope, because it can live temporarily with his parents Marzena, but again this unfortunate pride does not allow Charles to accept help from anyone. A Marzena showing its 24 years has and would like to establish a family. – For now, I hope that Charles finally dare and believe in change and in yourself – sighs, returning to the laying of nail polish, files and dumplings.
With a heart for the people
Meanwhile, Christina is a great pity himself. Maybe if more tried and gave more politically, they would give her after the change of a function. Could be a secretary or mayor book – because accountancy is quite well known. And then, and Charles would be easier to exist. Although the village, it’s not at all dumber than others.
He has a grudge against each other, that is not felt right moment. That the chance for advancement and the existence of the village passed near her nose. And yet she voted for change as well as her children. And now it turns out that by his own stupidity and care only about the shop was behind. – Learn to man all his life. There were meetings, training sessions, it said, the dinner I have children to cook, because the daughter tired of learning, for the son of the city coming. And others after the elections zakręcili and ask how they spin. In one wind power plant will be put, another entered into an arrangement with the authorities and the way they will immediately energize, what he will benefit. Only a man so naive and stupid. And on matters of municipal know how few people. Even the mayor was at last to be remembered, but most of the positions manned, in the branches already seated friends rabbit. Do not help me or prayer, or donations to the tray.
So Krystyna decided to take the business seriously. Because she something of this change must be, I just need to play it smart. It plans to set up a few tables next to the store. You will be on-site beer and drink like a man, and not rely on the parapet. And for holidaymakers to be attractive, maybe even once in a while a barbecue on the road will do. Always someone to stop, because in the village outside the shop there is nothing. Christina says that all the permits it will be easier to deal with, because he has the feeling that now, after amendment, offices more open to people approaching. So with heart. – Mr. Kaczynski had long ago said that hope is in small municipalities that lie veritable treasures. That every village is the Silicon Valley, only to be discovered. Maybe our village has the potential? And, in turn, premier stressed that there is a Polish or Polish B, that we are all equal. Although the alignment still a long way, but here we feel that now the time for us. And that some farmers complained that they always had enough, and yet now and it will be easier to manage the land as the state of her interest. And not so far: wolnoć Tom in his house.
Krystyna same ground too much is not, but as she looked over the years, what happens to the hectares neighbors when sold for a song, the heart, it still hurts. – The waste of the cottages holidaymakers went, and so you would be good to plant.
Mafia rural
The client Christine, Bozena is one of those with plain cheese have all gone on goat and camembert. Mother of four children. Since the entry into force of the scheme 500+, as says about himself, independent woman. In the end, he feels appreciated for their motherhood. I stand on the goat cheese and the new nail. Of course, kids also no regrets. New dresses and sweets, that is what always lacked.
With the job is sometimes different, Bozena moonlighted once in the store at the Krystyna, but much more is seen in the role of client. – I have sympathy, we met at a dance, he is from Warsaw, bought a plot near. Lavishes me gifts, not yet zapeszam, but perhaps once again I married and housewife. For now, the put in, I watched recently on the network all the episodes of “perfect housewife”. You have to strike whilst the iron is hot. Well, he was able to buy a piece of land in front of all these changes, because now it’s at all a disaster. I did not sell his, even though this patrimony and could do with it what I want. That’s why I was thinking that moving out to Warsaw would be better. We generally dangerously in the village is doing.
dangerous, because shortly after the political changes after the village ran a rumor that one of the old sprzedawczyń in rural store got into a mafia systems . And it is not as it is in England, and for years assured, but in prison. The more that the last few times some black limousines appeared in the village and someone inquired about her. So what to what, but the atmosphere to live in the countryside is not so good. – Young people want wyfruwać to the city, and the older a little bit worse. Because payments are late, and as if that was not enough, for the moment, it turns out that the land in which for years put their heart and money will be taken from them almost at cost – says Bozena.
O earth afraid to Marian . He does not fully understand the changes in the law, but counting on that ground but will be able to share and sell, if he had to. – Forest, the land was always the property, provision for bad times. It is impossible for the government to receive people what their generations, right? I think it’s a mistake. If not, go out alone on the street.
Christine: – Stupid talking, we live in a free country under communism and took it to the house dokwaterowywali. Now finally someone for Polish land will take, will help. After one of the cottages you do not throw. The idea is to be wasted on Polish soil did not go. And now, God forbid, into foreign hands. Because you know that every piece of land here to sell.
These foreign hands is the village’s most afraid of. A few years ago he went to the rumor that the Dutch want to open a dairy in the village, on the local fell pale fear. That work will take them that after their homemade dairy products have no reach. And although the Dutch and so Mazowsze abandoned in favor of Podlasie is concern that there will be other aliens, he remained. – Although PiS alien does not want to, but this will take a minimum number of refugees, it’s probably just the country they will direct. To get rid of the cities – adds Christina. – So everything must be done to keep young people in the village. Only this will save us from terrorism and loss of Polishness.
