70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 517 The Typewriter

The five children went home separately, while Xiaoyu, He Yuxiang, and Aijiaohu walked together.

Shorty Tiger savored the braised pork knuckle from the state-run restaurant, rubbing his stomach with the air of a middle-aged man: "It's so great to have an older brother, He Yuxiang, do you want to be my older brother?"

Although he is three years older than He Yuxiang.

But who says you can only be the older brother if you're young!
He Yuxiang declined, saying, "I don't have a hobby of spending money on others."

The short-legged tiger sighed, "Alright."

Xiaoyu kicked pebbles all the way home, and when she got home, she went to tell her aunt that she was full!

"It's fine as long as you're full. Your uncle sent us some things. There's a big item in his study. I'll take you to open it and take a look."

Chen Qing led her to the study, then called out to He Yuxiang's room, "He Yuxiang, come out for a moment, 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.

Upon arriving at his uncle's study, He Yuxiang noticed the metal lump on his uncle's desk.

Chen Qing: "Your uncle said that he promised you before that he would teach you a legitimate way to make money. Then he asked someone to assemble a typewriter and bought you a new Xinhua Dictionary so that you could compare the unfamiliar characters."

You can make money by finding rare characters.

If you learn how to use a typewriter, you can even earn money by typing.

He also said that when he gets back, he will teach you how to fix a typewriter.

He's not home right now, so you can figure it out yourself first. The main thing is that you need to be quick at finding the characters; the rest isn't too difficult.

He Yuan sent the typewriter to He Yuxiang because he personally believed that making a child do tedious and meaningless labor just to earn a little money would hinder the child's growth.

Since He Yuxiang wanted to make money, He Yuan wanted him to do something that allowed him to earn money while studying.

Ideally, He Yuxiang should realize that the more he learns, the more he earns.

A typewriter was the first choice.

Typewriters have many advantages.

First, it will allow He Yuxiang to recognize more characters. Second, it will allow him to learn new skills. Third, being a typist is a job that can be learned quickly and that can earn money quickly.

Furthermore, He Yuan personally believes that there is a significant shortage of typists.

As times progress, it will definitely grow larger and larger.

He Yuxiang gently stroked the typewriter's gleaming cast iron body with his fingers, feeling its cool touch.

The entire body of the machine is jet black, except for the edges where it has been polished to a silvery metallic sheen, like a gold trim on the machine.

"This machine must be very expensive, right?"

"I don't know."

Chen Qing felt that the typewriter was obtained purely through He Yuan's connections.

Ordinary people cannot buy typewriters; only researchers can apply to purchase them.

However, it's expensive for researchers to buy typewriters; they cost 500 yuan each.

Chen Qing handed the typewriter instruction manual to He Yuxiang: "The machine your uncle sent already has about three thousand characters in it. You need to recognize these characters first, because the characters are engraved on the seal in reverse so that the printed characters will be correct."

"I see."

He Yuxiang immediately sat down and carefully read the instruction manual written by his uncle.

Xiaoyu also came over to take a look.

Chen Qing was also figuring out how to fix the typewriter.

The starting salary for a typist is quite high.

For example, a typist in a machine factory starts at 45 yuan a month, which is like being a small manager.

The family of three would spend their evenings working on the typewriter.

He Yuxiang tossed and turned before going to sleep, feeling incredibly lucky.

He even wondered if his parents would do so much for him if they knew he liked making money.

His uncle actually considered both his studies and making money, and got him a typewriter.

It's something that even the children of many high-ranking officials might not be able to own.

He Yuxiang slowly exhaled, determined to learn how to use a typewriter properly!
He Yuxiang is a person with exceptional execution skills. He woke up early and went straight to his study to practice calligraphy.

After Ma Aiying woke up, she asked He Yuxiang, "Do you want to exercise?" He Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, but then nodded in agreement.

After practicing for half an hour, He Yuxiang went to the study again.

Ma Aiying felt that Chen Qing's children were very easy to take care of, and that this was also the family she had ever seen that doted on their children the most.

That's a typewriter!
It was actually prepared for an eight-year-old child.

Generally speaking, a commune only had one typewriter, but now an eight-year-old child has one.

Even Ma Aiying, an adult, envied He Yuxiang.

Parents are not only rich, but also loving.

Ma Aiying practiced a set of boxing moves, performing them with great skill and flair. Xiao Yu sat on her little stool, watching Aunt Ma as if she were watching a performance.

When Ma Aiying finished practicing and took a break, she asked Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, why don't you go and learn to type from your brother?"

"I'm only six years old. I can learn whenever I have time. There's no rush."

Xiaoyu is interested in typewriters, but that's all she is interested in.

Asking her to make the most of every minute to practice typing is definitely not something she can do.

Ma Aiying hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "I asked your aunt yesterday, and she said you learn to read very quickly, even faster than your brother, is that right?"

"Yes."

Once Xiaoyu fully understands a character, she can print it without having to think about it again; she has an extraordinary talent.

Ma Aiying: "Then why don't you practice? If you learn to type, you can make a lot of money."

“But I’m just a kid. My aunt said kids don’t need to earn money. My brother wants to earn money, but only because he likes it.”

Xiao Yu tilted her head.

I don't understand Aunt Ma's thinking.

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 great talent for typing, I couldn't help but encourage her to learn how to type.

"So what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I don't know, it will take a very, very long time. My job is just to make sure I have enough to eat and wear."

When Xiaoyu needs to do something, she likes to be the first in everything.

For example, at school.

She was never satisfied until she got first place in any subject.

But she has no interest in things that aren't necessary.

For example, English.

After the Canton Fair, Xiaoyu originally intended to study hard.

As I studied, I realized that playing was more interesting.

As for English, she just needs to use gestures that foreigners can understand; she doesn't need to be too fluent.

Ma Aiying was helpless.

She thought the old saying was true: "The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."

"Your idea is good."

Xiao Yu smiled.

Seeing that Aunt Ma had finished her martial arts practice, she quickly went to feed the chickens.

But in reality, when Ma Aiying and Chen Qing went to work together, they both advised Chen Qing: "Chen Qing, didn't you say that Xiaoyu has a talent for learning to type? Wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't make good use of her talent?"

Chen Qing: "It's alright. Xiaoyu has a lot of talent. She's not stage-frightened and speaks fluently. She could be a host."

She's beautiful and loves acting; she could join a performing arts troupe.

She is a good student, and as long as she studies steadily, she has a good chance of getting into graduate school.

Xiaoyu also loves fighting, and her team always comes in first place.

"If I see one talent in her, I'll force her to learn that one; that would be too much of a burden for her."
