Chapter 78: Breaking
After the two of them had a hot breakfast in the kitchen, Cheng Tianyuan was about to go out.
There was still snow outside and there was a lot of snow on the road. Xue Ling told him to be careful and helped him get a hat and put it on, and asked him to put on the new coat he bought for him yesterday.
Cheng Tianyuan was reluctant to wear it at first, and whispered: "It's already warm enough to wear the newly bought sweater inside. It's better to wear an old coat."
"No!" Xue Ling replied: "The outer layer of the new jacket is waterproof, so don't be on the snow for too long and it won't be wet. We work hard to make money just to improve our lives. If you don't wear a jacket, can you want to put it in the house and watch it fun?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled, and couldn't do anything to her, so he pinched her pretty nose.
"Okay, I'll wear it."
Xue Ling took out another ten yuan and handed it to him.
Cheng Tianyuan's face was slightly dark and he said, "Who said she wanted to raise it for me? You buy a bicycle and I will raise you. We agreed early in the morning."
Xue Ling smiled and shook her head.
"No, I want you to use this money to buy beef and mutton, buy some bones, and buy some delicious snacks and melon seeds, etc., which can be eaten by my sister-in-law. She came here and I would like to invite her to eat something, which would ease the relationship."
My sister-in-law is still a child's character. As long as she gives some benefits, she will not be so ruthless when she eats her mouth.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly and took over the ten dollars.
"I'll tell her about it when I come back."
Xue Ling watched him go out and told him to ride the bike slowly before closing the cold iron door and returning to the house.
There are three stoves in the kitchen, and the temperature is higher than that on the upper floors.
She simply went upstairs to get an English copy and did a serious translation on the kitchen table.
At around ten o'clock, a shout came from outside: "Brother! Brother! Open the door quickly! We are frozen to death!"
Xue Ling quickly closed the notebook and hurried out to open the door.
I saw Cheng Tianfang and Ouyang Mei dressed in chubby meatballs, waiting outside the yard, with the north wind squirting with snowflakes.
She quickly opened the door and led them into the kitchen.
"Let's drink some hot water first!"
She turned around and poured two cups of hot water.
Cheng Tianfang and Ouyang Mei were not polite at all, and they picked them up and drank them with a natural attitude.
Xue Ling didn't bother with them and brought out the buns from the stove.
"This is breakfast, char siu buns and millet porridge. The millet porridge is still warm on the stove. You guys will finish the buns first and then spoon them."
Neither of them are children, so she doesn't have to take care of them.
Cheng Tianfang opened the lid of the pot and screamed at a glance.
"Bar Sweet Bun! Oh my God! Pork! I like it the most!"
Ouyang Mei also smiled happily, took one and ate it in big mouthfuls.
"Ayuan's craftsmanship is very good, and the buns he makes are even better than those sold outside! I also like them."
Cheng Tianfang muttered while gnawing: "There are so many pork buns! Luxury! So extravagant! When I was at home, even during the Chinese New Year, my brother made buns just a little pickled cabbage. Now I live in a big house in the city and eat char siu buns for breakfast!"
Xue Ling frowned when she heard this, and she refused to speak.
Cheng Tianfang secretly glared at her and continued to say dissatisfaction: "My brother is very frugal, and someone must have asked him to do this. He only earns a little bit of a salary, is it easy?! He doesn't think about the situation at home, and just pursues enjoyment and eats and drinks!"
Ouyang Mei laughed quietly and deliberately refused to speak.
Xue Ling couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to look at Cheng Tianfang.
"My sister-in-law, what I pursue is to eat enough for three meals to be nutritious. Your brother is a little calcium-deficient, has a long-term lack of nutrition, and has worked hard. I can't bear to work so hard. Since we moved here, I insist on bone soup and some meat every day."
Cheng Tianfang snorted coldly: "I knew it was your idea for a long time! My brother was so frugal. If it weren't for you to insist on it, he wouldn't be willing to buy it. Don't think that you can make some money, but just pursue luxury all day long. How easy is my brother!"
Xue Ling shrugged and said, "Your brother is indeed not easy, he doesn't make much money. I don't pursue luxury, but I should try to eat as much as possible for three meals and not hurt my body. I don't make a lot of money, but I'm more than your brother, so I can help him, and I can still eat enough for three meals."
Cheng Tianfang stared at her suspiciously and asked, "How much do you earn in a month? Can you make more than my brother? My brother is 140 per month!"
"One Hundred and Eighty." Xue Ling flipped through the English book in his hand and added: "Working part-time translator can be more than hundreds per month. It's probably three or four times more than your brother."
In fact, she is becoming more and more skillful in translating now. If she speeds up, she can get about 1,000 yuan a month.
However, she didn't need to let them know all this.
Cheng Tianfang was stunned and looked disbelief.
Ouyang Mei, who was beside her, swallowed her saliva and asked in surprise: "What translation? What can be so profitable?"
Xue Lingyang took the book in Yang's hand and said, "Translation of English into Chinese and helped Capital Publishing House make it. Pay it once every half a month. When the remittance comes, go to the post office here to collect it."
Cheng Tianfang was startled and asked: "What else do you know about English? Do you have foreign words?"
"Yeah." Xue Ling nodded, feeling that she could explain too much, and she would definitely not understand. Just ask her to change her attitude. There is no need to say it too thoroughly.
Cheng Tianfang didn't dare to speak silently, biting the bun and eating it quietly.
Ouyang Mei's face was a little uneasy and she was drinking millet porridge absent-mindedly.
In this era, it is already very good for men to earn twenty or thirty yuan a day, not to mention women.
In rural areas, some women embroidered soles and earn less than five yuan a day.
I didn’t expect Xue Ling to be so powerful. Not only can he work in a newspaper, but he can also make so much money in private - even several times more than Cheng Tianyuan!
No wonder their food is so good. They eat millet porridge and char siu buns for breakfast, and the meat filling is so big...
The kitchen became quiet, and there were only two people eating.
After they had enough, they were reluctant to leave and stayed in the kitchen to keep warm.
"It's very cold outside... It's not long before noon anyway! Let's stay here for lunch before going."
Then, the two chatted louder and louder.
Xue Ling couldn't read the book, so he changed the honeycomb coal from a stove, cooked another pot of water, and turned around and went upstairs.
The topic they talked about was very strange. It was all about who was engaged to the village head. The niece of someone at the end of the village was going to marry. How much was the betrothal fee and the dowry... Xue Ling felt so bored when she heard it.
Before the snow was stopped, she wrapped her coat, took a broom to sweep away the snow floating in the yard, and continued to open the outside of the yard so that it would not become ice and slide easily.
"daughter in law!"
She looked up and saw Cheng Tianyuan pushing the bicycle and walking over quickly. There was a big basket behind the car, and there was a lot of food hanging in front of the car, shaking it.
He had white snowflakes on his shoulders and coat, explaining: "There is a lot of snow on the ground and he can't ride much, so just go down and push."
Xue Ling hurriedly went up to help, pushed the bicycle into the yard, and then pushed the house.
