The neighbor's aunt next door heard the commotion and came over. She laughed when she saw the three children like this, and then called Su Shu, "I have a pot of hot water burning on the coal stove. Go ahead and pour it to give the children a bath."
Guang Songlin happened to come over at this time. Upon hearing this, he quickly volunteered, "Teacher Su, let me help you get hot water next door!"
Guang Songlin put the gift for Su Shu at the door of Su's house and ran to the next door to Su's house. The man was so strong that he could lift a large pot of hot water in one breath.
Zhang Fen took his hands to take him to the toilet, took out the basin to get hot water, and was busy getting cold water to mix it, while calling the children outside to come in.
As soon as Guang Songlin saw it, he said, "Aunt, I'll get the water. You give the child a bath first. It will be faster if you have more hands."
Su Shu came in carrying the three children and said, "I'll wash them one by one. Comrade Guang Songlin, then I'll ask you and my mother to wash these two children."
Su Shu didn't care if she was a guest or not at this time, since she was helping her anyway, she just helped her to the end.
Zhang Fen was relieved to have Guang Songlin help her. While she was helping the child bathe, she was still thinking about the ginger soup in the pot.
After giving the three children a hurried hot shower, Su Shu took them out of the toilet just after getting dressed, and then Zhang Fen brought three bowls of hot ginger soup to the three of them.
"Blow it once and drink it when it is no longer hot. Don't waste a mouthful. Don't think that it will be okay if the weather is hot and rainy. Your children's bodies are really not as strong as you think." Zhang Fen said.
Su Shu watched the three children drinking ginger soup in person, and Zhang Fen took the time to pour a glass of water for Guang Songlin.
"Comrade, I'm really sorry. I'm a guest here. I asked you to help me until now I can drink water. Thank you for your help today. Otherwise, we, mother and daughter, would have been so busy." Zhang Fen said.
.
Guang Songlin waved his hands repeatedly, "Auntie, you're welcome."
The three children lowered their heads and took a sip, then stuck out their tongues and wrinkled their faces at Su Shu like three puppies.
"Mom, it's so spicy~it doesn't taste good~" Liang Zhichao raised his eyebrows and felt the pain in his taste buds after taking a sip.
Neither of the two brothers liked the taste of ginger. This was not the first time for them to drink it. They accepted it well and drank it in small sips while holding the bowl.
Now she is even more afraid of her sister and aunt being angry.
"You have to drink it if you don't like it. This is the cold-repelling soup." Su Shu coaxed in a low voice, "Grandma specially cooked it for you. Are you willing to waste it?"
Yiyi is doing well, but Su Shu is worried about Liang Zhichao and Liang Zhiqiang, whose health is not as good as that of Yiyi.
Seeing that there was no need to discuss, Liang Zhichao winked at his younger brother, and the two of them pinched their noses and swallowed in big mouthfuls.
"Comrade Guang Songlin, please stay and have dinner." Zhang Fen said, "Don't mind it, it's just a common meal."
Upon hearing this, Guang Songlin waved his hand quickly, but it was only when Su Shu opened his mouth to leave some food that he nodded sheepishly and said ok.
After the three children finished drinking the ginger soup, they sat on the edge and burped. Zhang Fen went to cook noodles. Only then did Su Shu have the intention to talk to Guang Songlin and ask him what he wanted to ask when he came to her.
Guang Songlin immediately stood up respectfully with a glass of water in hand to answer the question.
"Teacher Su, I'm ashamed to say that I am a student of Beijing Foreign Studies University. I am about to graduate. The school trusts me, so it asked me to help the factory. But I can't help, so let it go. And because of my conceitedness, I have led to the failure of the factory.
suffered heavy losses.”
Guang Songlin blamed himself very much, "Teacher Su, I heard that you can translate, so I want to ask you for advice."
Guang Songlin scratched his head, "Honestly, after we graduate, we will be assigned to important positions in the future. I don't want to bring any losses to the country or any unit because of my mistakes a second time. The country will not train me."
Easy, I hope I can repay the motherland instead of being a drag on the motherland."
Guang Songlin's self-blame was not an act, especially when he mentioned the loss of a machine in the factory, he was heartbroken.
And his words also greatly admired Su Shu.
The clothes Guang Songlin wore were the most common Chinese tunic suits nowadays. There were many patches on his clothes and trousers, but they were washed clean.
His clothes are old, but that doesn't stop him from being neatly dressed, nor does it stop him from being positive.
His humility towards Su Shu comes from his desire and respect for knowledge.
He did not treat Su Shu lightly because of her age and gender, nor did he complain because he helped Su Shu as a guest.
He is frank, honest, and enthusiastic. He has ambition in his heart and is working hard to become a better version of himself for this ambition.
"You don't have to stand when you sit, let's talk slowly." Su Shu pressed her hands and asked Guang Songlin to sit down.
Guang Songlin just sat down. He didn't even bother to take a sip of water, and asked, "Teacher Su, can I be your assistant for this translation? I want to learn more from you. Although I am not very smart, but
I am a diligent person."
"This is the first time I heard someone say that he is not very smart." Su Shu chuckled, "You can be recommended by the school, I believe you must be outstanding in the eyes of your teacher."
Then Su Shu promised Guang Songlin, "With one more person to help me share the work, I can feel more relaxed."
After Su Shu finished speaking, Guang Songlin, who had only sat down for two seconds, quickly stood up again and thanked him repeatedly.
"Teacher Su, what time is it appropriate for me to come see you in the afternoon? When do you usually take your lunch break?" Guang Songlin asked.
"She was still on her lunch break. Once she got into work, she was just like her father. She wished she could be a god and didn't even have to take a break." Zhang Fen said with a smile.
"It depends on your time. You can make your own arrangements. Come directly if you want." Su Shu nodded.
Guang Songlin said hello, put the cup on the small table and stood up to leave. Zhang Fen quickly grabbed him and pulled him directly to the edge of the dining table to sit down.
A guest came to the house. Zhang Fen cooked noodles at noon and added shredded pork, oil residue, poached eggs, and green vegetables. When the whole pot of noodles came out, it looked very appetizing, and there was a lot of ingredients.
The three children's bellies were bulging after eating, and their little mouths were very talkative. One praised his aunt's cooking for being more delicious than before, and the other two praised their grandma for being so awesome. In addition, Guang Songlin also followed suit, and directly put
Zhang Fen praised her so much that she almost lost her eyes when she laughed.
After dinner, Zhang Fen took the children for a lunch break, while Su Shu and Guang Songlin were in the living room translating the maintenance manual.
Seeing the two dictionaries in Su Shu's hand, Guang Songlin looked in shock and envy.
With Guang Songlin's help, Su Shu's progress suddenly improved. After finishing the afternoon's work, Guang Songlin finally summoned the courage to ask Su Shu, "Teacher Su, when the translation is finished, can I lend you these two
Is this dictionary useful? I want to copy it and take it back."
Su Shu was grand and waved her hand, "No need to copy it. I'll give this set to you when you use it up."
Anyway, she can buy it at any time. For people nowadays, these two dictionaries are very rare, but for her, it is just a matter of online shopping.
Su Shu's words made Guang Songlin feel like he was knocked unconscious.
He was moved, but still refused.
"Teacher Su, I can't take them. These two dictionaries are too precious." Guang Songlin shook his head while enduring his heartache.
Su Shu never expected that Guang Songlin would refuse.
