Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Chapter 8

Is a man?A figure appeared in Wen Rui's mind. The boy's face was blurred, only a rough outline, but he still remembered clearly his eyes.

Now that I think about it, the two do have many similarities.

Wen Rui couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it's really amazing... But Huai City is far away from the city where he lives, one south and one north, so how could that child pass by?Mr. Jiang's family background is not bad, how did Jiang Yueting become a debt collector?What will this kid experience in the next ten years?

He glanced at the door next door, and his thoughts were a little wandering. He remembered that the child stopped others from beating him back then, and it wasn't too bad. Ten years later, he wasn't too bad. What about now?

Jiang Yueting somehow knocked over his bowl, if he wanted to burn him, he could just push the bowl in his direction.

The child didn't do that, he seemed to be trying to knock over the bowl.

Purpose?Reminiscent of the child's gobbling, Wen Rui had a bold idea in his heart. The child was trying to prevent him from leaving. If he was here, Mr. Jiang would definitely give him something to eat.

But can breaking the bowl stop him from leaving?The child doesn't know what kind of person he is, what if he tells Mr. Jiang about his behavior when he gets annoyed, and Jiang Hao punishes him not to eat?

Wen Rui shook his head, isn't he too clever?The child is only eight or nine years old, so how can there be so many considerations?It is unreasonable for him to use an adult's thinking to speculate on a child's thoughts.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang is quite enthusiastic after contact. He shouldn't always think wildly and maliciously speculate about Mr. Jiang's character.

Wen Rui couldn't find a clue, so she put the matter on hold for now.

-

From the next day, he started to leave early and return late to find a job.

Although he can't be a teacher now, he can still be a tutor, but he has only graduated from high school and can only teach elementary school and junior high school students, and the price is relatively low.

Besides, tutoring is charged by the hour, and he only goes there two or three times a week for a few hours, and that amount of money is not enough for him to live on.

He still has to find another job that pays at least enough for his daily expenses.

Wen Rui wandered around the city, and basically he ran all over the small town, but he just couldn't find a suitable job. It's not that no one is recruiting, but most of those jobs are in sales. There are commissions for this kind of hard work. He is stupid and really does it. Not coming.

There is also the work of serving dishes in restaurants, the wages are too low, less than 40 a month, he still wants to save some money for further plans, and all they want are experienced aunts in their [-]s, don't A young man like him.

He ran around for five or six days and couldn't even find a job as a tutor. This city was no different from his previous city. He wondered if he came to the wrong place.

If it doesn't work, he will go to Mengcheng to try it out. Mengcheng is a second-tier city, and the chances of getting a job are much higher, but the cost is also high. Besides, he is renting a house here...

Wen Rui fell into a dilemma.

Seeing that the money in his pocket was flowing out little by little, Wen Rui had no choice but to find a short-term job in a furniture store.

The furniture store recently had to do publicity, so it temporarily recruited more than a dozen people.

They want to form a team holding a sign along the street to promote.

The supervisor told them that the four men at the front of the line were responsible for holding signs, the middle girls in work clothes shouted promotional slogans with loudspeakers, and the last two had to wear thick panda suits to attract the attention of passers-by.

The wages are definitely different. The wages for wearing a suit in this summer must be higher, and the wages for holding signs are second.

Those children are seventeen or eighteen-year-old graduates, just to experience life, who is willing to suffer that?

In the end, Wen Rui and a boy chose to wear suits.

The boy's name is Liu Mingyang. He also just graduated from high school. His family background is not very good. He takes a summer job to earn living expenses for himself. He is quite cheerful, but everyone doesn't seem to like him very much.

The two wore suits in the dressing room.

Wen Rui was a little strange: "Have you guys started school yet?"

It's already September [-]th, why haven't these kids reported to school yet?He reported on September [-]st every year.

Liu Mingyang: "Most of us go to Mengcheng to go to school. The universities in Mengcheng start very late. I started school on the [-]th. Some people are later than me."

Wen Rui nodded knowingly. Province Z's economic and educational level ranks among the top five in the country, and there are many good universities in Mengcheng, so most people in Huaicheng choose to study in Mengcheng. It is because they have discounts for schools in the province, some majors are directly exempted from tuition fees, and only need to pay for accommodation.

"By the way, you are not a local. Did you come here to study in college?"

Wen Rui shook her head: "No, I won't read it anymore."

Liu Mingyang was a little pure-hearted, and most people would feel embarrassed when they heard this and would not say more, but he asked with a stick: "Why don't you go to college? What a pity."

Wen Rui gave a pause as he straightened his clothes, "The family background is not good, so I didn't study."

"Then how are your grades?"

Wen Rui looked at the other party one more time when he heard the words, he smiled helplessly, maybe he knew the reason why those people didn't like this kid, he was too upright.

If the grades are good, you are not afraid to ask, but if the grades are not good, it will undoubtedly embarrass the child to ask so bluntly.

"It's average, I got more than 680 in the college entrance examination."

Liu Mingyang's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "This is average? This grade is enough for you to get into 985. It's a pity, why didn't you stop studying? I don't think tuition is a problem. If you take a summer job, two months Enough to make you a lot of money."

Wen Rui didn't know how to answer, so he kept silent.

Liu Mingyang didn't notice at all that the other party didn't want to answer, and was still rambling on the sidelines.

Wen Rui rubbed the center of his eyebrows with a headache, and when the other party stopped talking, he asked, "What work did you do this summer vacation?"

"I tutored several children at night, and washed dishes in the restaurant owned by my uncle's family during the day."

Wen Rui grasped the point: "How many children do you tutor?"

"That's right, the second year of junior high school, the salary is not bad. They are people I know, and the price is quite reasonable. It's [-] an hour. I can earn a lot of money a week. But I have to go to school, so I can't done."

"Forty?" This salary is high enough.

"Believe it or not, there are a lot of rich people in our town. Are you an outsider? Don't you know our province? Don't look at those ordinary people, their families can easily be several million." Liu Mingyang lowered his voice and showed off to him. .

Wen Rui just smiled. He wanted to ask if he wanted a tutor, but Liu Mingyang said with a playful smile: "The teachers are very dark now, and they don't talk about the difficult problems in the tutoring materials in class. It is to force children to go to tutoring. The price is also very high, 70 to [-] yuan an hour, three times a week, do you think it is black or not? But fortunately, they are enough black, so I can earn money."

Wen Rui frowned, how could this be?

"The atmosphere is so bad, the school doesn't care?"

Liu Mingyang shrugged: "What is the school in charge of? The school and some bookstores work together, and often ask the teacher to recommend teaching materials to the students. There is only so little time in the class, and the usual exercises can't be covered. There is no time to talk about other things! But They have to tell those materials, and the parents are not stupid. If they buy so much, if the children don’t become teachers and don’t talk about it, who will buy it? So the school turns a blind eye to the teacher’s behavior of making up lessons after class. The whole thing is a Vicious circle."

Wen Rui's face darkened, how can this be a teacher?

"People's parents are reluctant to let me go. If I stay, I can save them a lot of money."

Wen Rui was silent for a while and said, "Do those parents still lack tutoring? Maybe I can try."

Liu Mingyang said pleasantly: "Yes, your grades are so good, you can definitely do it. However, what I said is not counted, and the parents have to agree. If you don't go to college, the parents may not trust you."

Wen Rui: "... I have a way."

Liu Mingyang hesitated and nodded: "Then why don't you come with me after we finish the work, they are all near our house, and they are quite familiar."

"Thank you."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, it won't be too late if the parents agree."

"Are you all right?" The supervisor's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay." The two walked out of the locker room with big hoods in their hands.

They walked along the street under the sun.

Wen Rui was stuffed in the hood, and he couldn't breathe. He seemed to be in a big steamer, steaming all over his body, sweat dripped down his cheeks, and some even flowed into his eyes. He wanted to wipe it off but I couldn't even reach in, so I had to endure it.

After walking for two hours, they turned back to the store, and a group of people complained in the lounge.

The boy holding the sign kept flicking his wrist, complaining sadly that the work was too tiring.

A girl rubbed her ankle and said unhappily, "I wouldn't have come if I knew it earlier, my feet hurt so much from walking, and there are still two hours in the afternoon, I really don't want to do it."

"My feet don't hurt, but I'm afraid of getting tanned. I'm going to start school in a few days. How can I be so handsome if I get so tanned?"

Wen Rui didn't participate in it, he went to the locker room with his headgear to change his clothes.

The work clothes were already soaked, and water could be wrung out. Wen Ruiai couldn't bear the stickiness of his body, so he took off his clothes and put them aside, and wiped the sweat on his body carefully with a paper towel.

Liu Mingyang couldn't speak outside, so he came in disappointed.

Seeing Wen Rui's bare upper body, he couldn't help but say, "You're so white."

Wen Rui smiled and didn't talk, he took out the t-shirt from the locker.

He asked as he was getting dressed, "How is it? Are you tired?"

Liu Mingyang curled his lips: "It's definitely tiring, but it's worth it. It's tens of dollars per hour, four hours a day, and three days of work, and it's only a few hundred yuan. By then, the meal card will be enough for me to eat for a long time. Yes. Alright, where are you having lunch?"

"I'll go home and cook it myself. What's the matter?"

"Then can I go to your house to eat? My house is in the town and I have to take a bus. I have to come here in the afternoon, which is a waste of money."

"Okay." As soon as Wen Rui agreed, he remembered something, "Your home is in the town? Then we don't get off work until four o'clock in the afternoon. Will I miss the last bus when I come back?"

"The last bus is at 06:30, so I'm sure I won't be able to catch it. Do you have a battery car? If you drive fast on a battery car, it's only 10 minutes away."

Wen Rui shook his head, but Jiang Hao's figure appeared in his mind, why don't you ask Mr. Jiang to borrow it?Wouldn't that be a little bad?

"How much do you rent here?"

Liu Mingyang said in shock: "Taxis will cost at least [-] yuan a trip, which is too expensive. Besides, the child has already started school, and the tutoring time is estimated to be at eight or nine o'clock. If you don't have a car, it will be a problem to travel. You have to think it through."

Wen Rui pondered for a moment: "I'll borrow a car in the afternoon first, and if the parents agree with me to teach, I'll find a way."

"That will do."
