Chapter 4 You Are Illiterate
Chen Xueru took a look at the simple scene in the house and felt more at ease.

When I entered the room, I was amazed by the boys and girls who were so attractive.

As for the one lying on his side on the bed, his head was wrapped in gauze.

Chen Xueru smiled and bowed to the others, then asked with concern:

"Third brother of the Wang family, I brought Hou Kui from our family to apologize to you! The child has no manners. It's summer, and I'm sorry to make you suffer.

Hou Kui, why don't you apologize to the third brother of the Wang family?"

Hou Kui stepped forward and said in a childish voice:

"Wang's third brother, I'm sorry."

Miao Cui was startled when she heard the voice. It really was a child! He was just a little bit bigger.

This makes it even more of my fault that my third son was not careful when walking. The road is so big, but he insisted on stepping on the watermelon rind thrown by others!

However, Wang Yuanchao heard a hint of contempt in Hou Kui's voice.

He heard everything his mother said to others outside. It turned out that he was knocked unconscious by this little brat.

To be honest, it was Wang Yuanchao and his second brother who were not kind enough to say dirty things about other people's mothers behind their backs.

However, even without makeup, Chen Xueru was like a ripe apple, exuding an alluring fragrance. No wonder the second brother drooled whenever he talked about her.

Which boy can withstand the charm of a queen?
He pretended to struggle to get up, but Chen Xueru pushed him back and said:

"Lie down and talk, lie down and talk. If your head is injured, it's better to move less.

Have you been to the hospital?"

The second brother said proudly:
"My eldest brother works at the Chinese Medicine Hospital!"

Wang Yuanchao could even see a hint of satisfaction in Chen Xueru's eyes. How did Wang Heping, this big idiot, survive in the alley with such an IQ?

Doesn't this clearly tell people that Wang Yuanchao is fine?
He also asked his eldest brother to help wrap his head, wasn't it all in vain?

Chen Xueru smiled and said:
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. I'll teach Hou Kui a lesson when I get back. From now on, trash should be thrown into the trash can!"

The word "garbage" seems to have a hidden meaning.

She took out two cans of sugar water and two bottles of malted milk from her shoulder bag and placed them on the desk.

Malted milk is a luxury item these days! A can costs 3 yuan!

Even though the Wang family is a dual-income family, they have never done this.

Don't even mention a spoonful when you drink water, even sprinkling a few grains will make you feel delicious.

Mother Miao Cui was about to stuff the malted milk back, saying that the third child was not seriously injured and the gift was too expensive.

The two women started pushing and shoving each other, and in the end Chen Xueru, the boss, was no match for Miao Cui, the worker.

Originally, Chen Xueru could have just patted her butt and left, but now she had to stay a little longer to exchange pleasantries. No matter what, the mother of the Wang brothers was a kind person.

"Wang's third brother is in middle school, right? Junior high school or high school?"

When this was mentioned, Mother Miao Cui became angry and said:
"He's such a loser! Look, he didn't even make it to high school. I'm going to let him find a temporary job first."

Chen Xueru felt that she had made a mistake. She noticed that the eldest son of the Wang family was bookish and thought that the Wang family was also a family of scholars. Who knew that the second and third sons did not seem to be very ambitious.

She forced a smile and said:
"Did your sister-in-law go to the streets to ask for any job opportunities?"

Mother Miao Cui waved her hand and said:

"These days, people on the street can't find a job. The couple next door to us are still working as part-time workers. How can a junior high school graduate like him get a job?"

Yan Jiecheng and his wife both graduated from junior high school and were just temporary workers. How could it be the turn of Wang Yuanchao, a recent graduate?
Even Wang Heping's job was obtained by asking people for help and using their connections. Wang Laoer had no education and was just a resident of the alley, so he could only find a job far away.

Wang Laosan, there is no need to rush for now. There is a high probability that you will take over her job in the future.

Chen Xueru wanted to end this topic and said:

"These days, there are more options than just studying.

Some jobs don’t require a high level of education. My husband works in the neighborhood committee and told me that the Railway Art Troupe is recruiting people for formal employees. All you need is a junior high school graduate! “Art Troupe! It’s much better than a printing factory.”

Mother Miao Cui's eyes lit up and she asked:

"Big sister, is this really possible? My family went to Korea to help. When I was in school, I was in the school military band!"

Chen Xueru was embarrassed to say that the talent of a junior high school military band might be a bit forced, so she had to bite the bullet and said:
"We have people helping to recruit people in our neighborhood. I wonder if there are any in your area. Big sister, go ask around tomorrow. It won't be a big deal if you run around a little more."

Mother Miao Cui said:
"Did I make an empiricist mistake? I should really understand the situation! Big sister, if this works, I have to thank you!"

Chen Xueru waved her hands quickly. How could it be so easy to get into the art troupe? They were just odd jobs and errand boys. I'm afraid those with connections would have to compete with each other to see who had stronger connections.

Road:
"Since the third brother of the Wang family is not seriously injured, my mother and I will not disturb him to rest! Hou Kui, why don't you say goodbye to Aunt Wang, brothers and sisters!"

Hou Kui cooperated very well and bowed, saying:

"Auntie, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, little sister, mom and I will go home first and not disturb third brother's rest.

I'm sorry, I will definitely throw the garbage into the trash can next time!"

Mother Miao Cui hurried over to pull Hou Kui and said distressedly:

"This child is so sensible and obedient! Big sister, I really envy you! Come, I'll take you there. It's getting dark, so be careful on the road."

Chen Xueru quickly declined and said:
"It's okay, it's okay. We can just get a tricycle once we get out of the alley!"

Miao Cui said:
"That won't work either. You two have a woman and a child. Wang Sheng, come here and help Hou Kui and his mother get in the car!"

The eldest brother followed reluctantly, and Chen Xueru did not refuse anymore. She expressed her gratitude and, accompanied by the eldest brother Wang Sheng, she took her son and walked out of the alley.

……

Wang Yuanchao untied the gauze wrapped around his head, and Wang Heping said:

"I only got two cans of food. What a big loss! Mom feels the same way. That woman is obviously not as strong as her!"

Before he could finish his words, Wang Heping felt a strong wind coming and he was unable to dodge.

It was his mother Miao Cui's broom that hit him on the head, leaving him nowhere to move or dodge.

"What are you doing wrong? Ah, you have to go back to work tomorrow! Otherwise, I will call your dad back to punish you! And you!"

The mother turned to the stunned Wang Yuanchao and said:

“When you are well again, you won’t be able to outrun me!
If a child just throws a piece of watermelon rind at you, are you still a child?

You don't have eyes to look at when you walk, do you?
You deserve to be killed by the fall!"

The second brother had no choice but to hide in the corner and wail:
"Mom, you hit me!"

The mother beat him for a while, then vented her anger, threw away the broom and said:

"I'll go to the street tomorrow to see if there's any work I can do. Even if I can just work as a temporary worker for a few years, I can find a chance to get a permanent job."

Then he picked up the broom and beat his second brother who had just stood up.

"Mom, why did you hit me again?"

“You didn’t even graduate from junior high school!

Ah!
What can you do without graduating from junior high school?
Have you done the job assigned to you well?
Can you take my job?

How many characters do you know? Now they have changed to simplified characters, you are illiterate!

It’s better to not stop your thoughts today than to have a big mess or make a mistake someday and suffer the consequences! ”

Two bottles of canned fruit, one of pears and the other of yellow peaches, looked very tempting under the dim light.

Then with a "click", the lights went out.

The guests have left and the children have finished playing, so why waste electricity by leaving the lights on?
Don’t let the neighbors in the courtyard gossip about you?
