And maybe so live and better

You will sometimes look at people and admire why some are content with small, poorly educated, do not receive education above the initial professional and live, enjoy life and others give advice and teach life. So my grandmother has one such acquaintance, I'll name her Elena. Teaches the lives of all who are not lazy. It does not matter that she works as a cleaner and worked all her life. After all, in all likelihood, much is not needed.

Elena, a friend of my grandmother, got married almost immediately after school, the daughter of simple workers continued her parents' way. Not to say that it was not far off, but it was not accepted to study in their family. The mother is a hard worker, father is a drunk. People are dark, having 3-4 grades of education. Lena immediately after graduation, enrolled in the school separated from the family, so she did not cross the threshold of her native penates. After all, it was more convenient for her and for her parents. For them, the vocational school, so, was the apex of education. What to learn then! Need to work. And this Lena chose for herself as a convenient, did not go to learn further and already in adulthood, and worked no one. After all, it suited her and that at work she was fed for free. Mine and all right. Particularly, and no responsibility. Eat, drink, get dressed, shoe, and rejoice in life. And something, and Elena liked to dress. Dressed always with a needle and fashion and not in any cheap consumer goods, but always in high-quality, expensive things. Dressed is always no worse than their leaders, and maybe better. And it does not matter that the kitchen was done. Married out by my standards early at eighteen. Soon she gave birth to a daughter, but five years later, her husband went wild, Lenka did not forgive her. Divorced intelligently and rubbed and without fights and without scandals.

Daughter Vera was brought up in every possible way to indulge her, not demanding much from her. She did not feel the need, since the former husband was well-helped by his relatives, and her parents threw money. Discussing and judging all those around them in the courtyard they have this family affair, the benefit of the windows went out into the yard: Lenka's mother watched from the window all the neighbors who went where, who with whom, where they went. And considered it the norm. Other people's children were either with worms or with mental disabilities. And it does not matter that all her grandchildren, the children of Lenkin's siblings, did not get out of the daughters and regularly one of them remained for the second year.

And Verka learned to follow the family traditions, keeping up with them. When in the first class all obediently studied the multiplication table, Verka, in contrast to all other children, did not recall the control and written replies, but did the necessary calculations on a calculator carefully placed for her in the mother's backpack. Lenka so relieved the life of a single child. The surrounding, of course, chuckled. And it goes in vain. While the others were studying, Verka walked and rested. And suddenly the child overdo it.

So she raised her daughter alone, although being nice in appearance, having a taste and economic grasp, she was called to marry many times. But having one unsuccessful son Lenka must have put a cross on her personal life.

Verka, not shining, neither mind nor knowledge went to a professional lyceum. And having finished, I immediately jumped in marriage. They live comfortably. And you do not have to learn.

And Lenka, with nothing to do, began to give advice to people and her acquaintances: then she goes to the graduate of the university, the concussion of the janitor, then the gastarbeiter protests to the teacher in retirement for an apartment. And who will say against which, Lenka takes offense, cries, complains to her brother, convinced of her rightness and sincerity of intentions, not seeing anything wrong with them. She is such, she knows better with her elementary education then.
