Chapter 38 The heartbroken second uncle’s family.
How long does he have to dig?
"What are you doing standing there, Lao Wang? Go dig up the mountain!"
"Great! Lao Wang has to work overtime today, so it's a good time to order takeout. I'm so happy."
"Rub your hands together, hehe."
Netizens thought that Wang Chen would continue digging.
Gifts flooded in for him.
Wang Chen came back to his senses, glanced at the comments, and apologized, "Family, let's dig it up tomorrow. It's a bit late today, and the anchor should go back to finish his meal. Goodbye, see you tomorrow at 8 o'clock."
After saying that, he closed the live broadcast room.
"Let's go, Xiao Hui, go home and eat chicken legs!"
Wang Chen called out to Xiao Hui who was sniffing at the purple wild flowers nearby.
He wasn't going to dig now.
The treasure will not be lost, and the golden light will not dissipate.
There are so many prompt points that I can’t finish digging them all in a short time. I’ll go back and replenish my status first and then come out to dig slowly tomorrow.
Return to the village entrance.
Uncle Niu, who was selling meat, greeted Wang Chen cheerfully: "Are you back from your work, Xiaochen?"
"Yes, I just finished."
"Come on, come on, give me a hand! I just killed a sheep. You can take this leg of lamb back to replenish your body. You are at your age and it is time for you to grow."
Uncle Niu is happy.
His son died, his daughter-in-law ran away, and his granddaughter was attending college away and the expenses were very high. The family was in a tight financial situation, and he always remembered the favor he had done Wang Chen and Huang Jing last time.
"No, my mother went to the city to buy some meat today, and we can't finish it."
After rejecting Uncle Niu, Wang Chen rode his motorcycle home.
Unexpectedly, there were two more people in the yard.
He is his second uncle and cousin.
Mom and Dad have prepared a sumptuous dinner.
"You're back, son. We've been waiting for you. Your brother passed the civil service exam. Come to our house and have a drink with your uncle later."
My mother explained with a smile.
She blinked at him, feeling somewhat helpless.
Wang Chen nodded.
He doesn't have a good impression of his second uncle's family.
According to my memory, when my family was poor, my second uncle didn't help much. At most he just said a few words of concern and comfort.
My cousin is even more unfamiliar.
He never spoke a word, but he acted like a fool all day long, relying on the fact that he lived in the city, and had a strong sense of superiority in front of his family.
"Uncle, long time no see."
Wang Chen greeted politely and sat down.
My second uncle’s name is Wang Shengli. He wears a silver watch and looks like a small boss. He is of average height, has a fair complexion, and is not fat.
My cousin is called Wang Bo. He was wearing the museum’s blue work clothes and a Renault watch.
He was sitting aside with a cold look on his face, and he didn't even look at him when Wang Chen came in.
The second uncle responded, "Xiao Chen is back from digging in the mountains? I heard from your mom that you are doing some kind of live broadcast now?"
"Well, just do it casually."
Wang Chen touched his nose.
The second uncle sighed a bit.
Pat him on the shoulder:
"Kid, let me tell you, young people need to have ambitions. Don't just do nothing. I've also heard from Xiaobo that live streaming doesn't have much of a future. It would be better for you to get a stable job sooner rather than later."
"Yes."
Wang Bo then said seriously:
"Let me tell you, one of my classmates used to do live streaming, but he couldn't make enough money to support himself, so he gave up after he passed the civil service exam. Live streaming doesn't have much future, and you never know when you might be unemployed. It's unstable."
"I am now working as an administrator at the Zhengyang Museum, a state-owned institution. It is not only stable, but also has many hidden benefits."
"Wang Chen, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should also make plans for yourself as soon as possible. By the way, I have a good relationship with our curator. If you want to come, I can ask him to arrange a job as an administrator assistant for you. That's at least much better than your current job!"
In his opinion.
For someone like Wang Chen, it is difficult to find a wife. He is an unemployed vagrant with his household registration still in the mountain village, and his future is fraught with uncertainty.
He was kind enough to introduce a job to Wang Chen.
Listening to his cousin talking a lot, Wang Chen smiled.
I'm too lazy to refute anything.
He never thought about changing other people's opinions of him, there was no point.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
The whole family sat together and started eating.
Wang Jinguang opened a bottle of Moutai.
"Oh, Maozi. I drink a lot of it at work." "Xiao Bo, don't we have a few boxes at home? When you are free, send some to your uncle."
"no problem."
After Wang Bo finished speaking, he couldn't wait to take a sip, smacking his lips as he savored the drink.
Wang Chen didn't say anything, he was only thinking about treasure hunting.
My mother also had no good feelings towards my second uncle's family, so she lowered her head and mended Wang Chen's mountaineering clothes.
At the dinner table, only my dad continued the conversation awkwardly.
My second uncle loves to brag about the ups and downs of his business in the past two years. It's so thrilling.
Wang Bo talks about work every other sentence.
Talk about connections, classmates, and so on.
In short, he works very hard and does well among his relatives.
"Wang Chen, would you like to consider the position of assistant? Don't worry, I am a regular employee and can protect you from being bullied!"
"Thank you, no thanks, I have my own goals."
"Hey, you're just stubborn!... Never mind, I can't persuade you."
Wang Bo shook his head.
At this time.
Wang Chen's phone rang. He looked down at the incoming call and saw that it was Yang Qing's number.
"I'll take a call."
"Hello, Uncle Yang?"
"Hey! Xiaochen, what are you doing now?" The noisy voice from Yang Qing's side suddenly quieted down.
"We were having dinner, what happened?"
"I want to discuss something with you. Can you donate the pottery coffin you found to our city's museum? I can help you apply for a 40,000 yuan bonus. What do you think?"
The anticipation in Yang Qing's tone could be heard over the phone.
Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. He didn't want that broken thing anymore.
"Sure, no problem. You don't need to ask for a bonus of tens of thousands of dollars. I'll tell you the location, Uncle Yang, and you can just find someone to pull it out."
Yang Qing was very pleased and said happily:
"Well, I'll contact the person in charge of Zhengyang Museum and ask him to treat you to a meal. I'll go too. You're not allowed to refuse!"
"Okay, tell me the time and place then."
Wang Chen agreed without hesitation, as this was an opportunity to expand his network.
By that time, Yang Shuji will be here, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming.
Knowing more people would help him to carry out his plan of treasure hunting in other places.
hang up the phone.
aside.
The second uncle put down his chopsticks and pretended to teach a lesson. He asked unhappily, "Is it your friend who asked you to go out for dinner again?"
"Not really, an elder."
Wang Chen said while looking down at his phone.
Wang Bo laughed in a childish voice, "Wang Chen, could it be that some of your bad friends are asking you out for dinner?"
In his opinion.
It’s impossible for someone who does live streaming not to know some shady people.
Wang Bo has a strong sense of superiority.
"It has nothing to do with you. You can think whatever you want."
Wang Chen suddenly replied impatiently,
"You!..." Wang Bo was caught off guard and his face turned red with anger: "Wang Chen! I even introduced you to a job, why are you saying such rude things!"
"I'm going to go back and rest, mom. You guys eat first."
Wang Chen really had no interest in paying attention to this self-righteous cousin, so he turned around and went back to the house.
The second uncle frowned and said, "Jin Guang, your son is becoming more and more unreasonable."
"That's right. He has little ability but a bad temper. Even when I introduced him to a job, he still looked down on me." Wang Bo felt as if he had suffered a great injustice.
...Wang Jinguang had a gloomy face and said nothing.
He wants to hit someone!
Lin Xiangzhi said unhappily: "What's wrong with my son? Why is he so outrageous? Just think your son is excellent, okay?"
"Really? As soon as you come in, you start talking and showing off..."
"Xiao Bo means well, it's not what you think!"
Second uncle frowned.
He was a little tired. He wanted to help his relatives with good intentions, but was met with this kind of attitude.
It's really disheartening.
"Dad, come on, let's go back to the city. I have to have a meeting with the curator tonight."
