Chapter 516 Typewriter
The five children went back to their respective homes, while Xiaoyu, He Yuxiang and Aijiaohu left together.
Short-legged Tiger savored the pork elbow from the state-owned restaurant and rubbed his belly in a middle-aged manner. "It feels so good to have a big brother. He Yuxiang, do you want to be my brother?"
Although he is three years older than He Yuxiang.
But who says you have to be young to be a big brother!
He Yuxiang refused: "I don't have the hobby of spending money on others."
The short-legged tiger sighed: "Okay."
Xiaoyu kicked pebbles all the way home, and when she got home she told her aunt that she was full!
"Just eat enough. Your uncle sent us something. There's a large object in his study. I'll take you to open it and take a look."
Chen Qing took her to the study and shouted towards He Yuxiang's room: "He Yuxiang, come out for a moment and come to your uncle's study."
He Yuxiang opened the door and came out. He had just turned on the radio to listen to the broadcast.
When he came to his uncle's study, He Yuxiang also noticed the iron lump on his uncle's desk.
Chen Qing: "Your uncle said that he promised you that he would teach you how to make money properly, and then he asked someone to assemble a typewriter for you, and also bought you a new Xinhua Dictionary so that you could compare the uncommon characters.
You can make money by finding rare characters.
Later, if you learn to use a typewriter, you can even make money by typing.
He also said that he would teach you how to repair the typewriter when he came back.
He's not home right now, so I'll let you figure it out on your own first. The main thing is that you're good at finding words, so the other parts aren't too difficult."
The reason why He Yuan sent a typewriter to He Yuxiang was that he personally believed that letting children do complicated and meaningless labor just to earn a little money would greatly delay their growth.
Since He Yuxiang wanted to make money, He Yuan wanted to let He Yuxiang do something that would allow him to earn money and learn at the same time.
It would be best if He Yuxiang could realize that the more he learns, the more he earns.
The typewriter is the first choice.
There are many advantages to using a typewriter.
1: It can help He Yuxiang recognize more words, 2: It can help him learn new skills, and 3: Typist is a job that can be quickly learned and make money quickly.
He Yuan also personally believes that there is a huge shortage of typists.
As the times change, it will definitely get bigger and bigger.
He Yuxiang's fingers gently stroked the shiny cast iron body of the typewriter, which felt cool to the touch.
The entire body of the machine is pitch black, with only the corners polished to a silver metallic luster, as if the machine has been given a golden edge.
“Isn’t this machine expensive?”
“I don’t know.”
Chen Qing felt that this typewriter was obtained purely through He Yuan's connections.
Because ordinary people cannot buy typewriters, only scientific researchers can buy them after applying.
But it is also expensive for scientific researchers to buy typewriters, at five hundred yuan each.
Chen Qing handed He Yuxiang the typewriter manual: "The machine your uncle sent has almost three thousand characters in it. You must first learn these characters because the seal is engraved with reverse characters. You have to print them out correctly."
"I see."
He Yuxiang immediately sat down and carefully read the instructions written by his uncle.
Xiaoyu also came over to take a look.
Chen Qing was also thinking about how to fix the typewriter.
This typist's starting salary is very high.
For example, the starting salary for a typist in a machinery factory is only 45 yuan, which is like a small leader's salary.
The three of them spent their evenings poring over the typewriter.
He Yuxiang tossed and turned before going to bed. He felt that he was so lucky now.
He even wondered if his parents would do so many things for him if they knew he liked to make money.
His uncle actually considered studying and making money and bought him a typewriter.
This is something that even the children of many high-ranking leaders may not be able to own.
He Yuxiang exhaled slowly and decided to learn how to typewriter well!
He Yuxiang is a man with strong execution ability. He woke up early and went straight to the study to practice calligraphy.
After waking up, Ma Aiying asked He Yuxiang, "Do you want to exercise?"
He Yuxiang hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed.
After practicing for half an hour, He Yuxiang went to the study again.
Ma Aiying felt that Chen Qing's children were really worry-free, and this was also the most doting family she had ever seen.
That's a typewriter!
It was actually prepared for an eight-year-old child.
Generally speaking, there was only one typewriter in a commune, but now an eight-year-old child has one.
As an adult, Ma Aiying envies He Yuxiang.
Parents not only have money, but also love.
Ma Aiying practiced a set of boxing, and performed it with great vigor. Xiaoyu sat on her little stool and watched Aunt Ma as if she was watching a performance.
During a break after practice, Ma Aiying asked Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, why don't you go learn typewriter from your brother?"
"I'm only six years old. I'll learn whenever I have time. There's no rush."
Xiaoyu is interested in typewriters, but that's just interest.
If she were asked to seize every minute and every second to practice typing, she would definitely not be able to do it.
Ma Aiying tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "I asked your aunt yesterday, and she said you learned to read very quickly, even faster than your brother, is that right?"
"Yes."
After Xiaoyu completely understands a word, she can print it without thinking again. She is extremely talented.
Ma Aiying: "Then why don't you practice? If you learn how to typewriter, you can make a lot of money."
"But I'm a child. My aunt said that children don't need to make money. My brother wants to make money just because he likes it."
Xiaoyu tilted her head.
I don’t understand Aunt Ma’s thoughts.
Ma Aiying felt that Chen Qing and He Yuan had strong hearts.
Because she saw that Xiaoyu had a high talent for martial arts, she wanted Xiaoyu to practice martial arts.
Knowing that Xiaoyu has a high talent for typewriter, I couldn't help but ask Xiaoyu to learn typewriter.
"So what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I don't know. That will take a very, very long time. My job is just to keep me fed and warm."
When Xiaoyu does necessary things, she likes to be the first in everything.
For example, at school.
She will not be satisfied until she gets first place in any subject.
But she has no interest in anything that is not necessary.
For example, English.
After the Canton Fair, Xiaoyu originally wanted to study hard.
As I learn, I feel that it is not as interesting as playing.
As for English, she just needs to gesture enough for foreigners to understand, it doesn't need to be too profound.
Ma Aiying was helpless.
She felt that the old saying was right: The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are.
"Your idea is good."
Xiaoyu smiled.
Seeing that Aunt Ma had also finished her martial arts practice, she hurried to feed the chickens.
But in fact, when Ma Aiying and Chen Qing went to work together, she kept advising Chen Qing: "Chen Qing, didn't you say Xiaoyu has a talent for learning to typewriter? If she doesn't make good use of her talent, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Chen Qing: "It's okay, Xiaoyu is talented in many things. She is not afraid of the stage and speaks fluently, so she can be a host.
She is beautiful and likes acting, so she can join the art troupe.
She is a good student and as long as she works hard and steadily, she has a chance of getting into graduate school.
Xiaoyu also likes to fight, and the team she leads always wins first place.
If I force her to learn a talent I see in her, she will be exhausted.”
