Chapter 120 This place should not stay for a long time
Xue Ling quickly shook his head and advised: "Dad, the construction site over there has been contracted. We will provide the materials and Boss Liu will provide the manpower. It is windy along the river and it is cold here, so you'd better not go."
Father Cheng was very excited and said excitedly: "Ling Ling, I... I just want to see it! A Yuan has to go to work, and there must be a lot of things to do first and last, otherwise he wouldn't have to get home so late every night.
.I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I might as well help out a little bit."
Xue Ling was still worried and whispered: "Dad, your arms can't do heavy work."
Father Cheng patted his chest and spoke as if to reassure himself.
"Don't worry, I won't carry anything heavy. I'll go help boil hot water or something, and look after the building materials!"
Hearing the old man's insistence, Xue Ling couldn't continue to object.
"Okay then! When Brother Yuan comes back, I'll ask him to take you there early tomorrow morning. I only know the general direction, but I don't know the specific location yet!"
Father Cheng smiled and nodded.
Xue Ling turned around and went upstairs to get busy.
Yesterday she received a remittance and another new English book from Xiao Jiaxue.
The total remittance was a little over two thousand. She gave two thousand to A Yuan and kept the rest with her.
The English book is very thick, twice as thick as the previous one!
Xiao Jiaxue put a piece of paper in the book and said that her boss was very satisfied with her translation, praised her for getting better and better as she translated, and hoped that she would continue her efforts to help translate this masterpiece.
After reading it, she called Xiao Jiaxue and asked that it would take at least half a year to translate such a large book. She hoped that the cost could be mentioned.
My old classmate was very complimentary and said that her translation was fast and good, but she really needed to raise the price.
So, she turned around and went to discuss it with her leader.
More than a minute later, she came back and told Xue Ling with a smile: "The director just said that if you insist on high quantity and high quality, you can ask for twenty-five thousand words. This is already a very high price. Some masters
The translator only has about thirty words per thousand words."
Xue Ling was already very satisfied and quickly thanked her old classmate and promised to go back to the imperial capital to treat her to dinner during the Chinese New Year.
Xiao Jiaxue agreed with a smile and hung up the phone.
After Xue Ling took the English book, she read it page by page. Fortunately, she was not busy at the newspaper office, so she took it out and read it when she had time. She also read it during her lunch break. Now she has read one-third of it.
Reading is a kind of enjoyment, which is completely different from translation which consumes brain and energy.
The night was very cold, so she simply hid in bed and watched.
It was late at night, and she suddenly heard a noise under the window!
She thought Cheng Tianyuan was back, so she put the book down and quietly opened the window.
Under the faint moonlight, two figures were nestled outside the yard next door.
A low male voice with a confused and ambiguous smile said: "Baby, you are so warm! Come on, let Brother Xiang touch..."
The woman in his arms said coquettishly: "Oh! Brother Xiang, you are so annoying! Your hands are so cold!"
Ouyang Xiang chuckled and coaxed: "Sister Xi, are you willing to let me be cold, brother Xiang? Come in and warm me up."
The woman smiled sweetly: "Brother Xiang! You are the worst!"
Ouyang Xiang touched her body ambiguously with his hands and whispered: "I am bad...I am only bad to you!"
"That's disgusting!" the woman urged and pushed him: "If you don't open the door quickly, you're going to freeze him to death!"
Ouyang Xiang had no choice but to shrink his hand, took out the key from his trouser pocket, and opened the courtyard door.
But the woman didn't move and asked, "Isn't your sister in there?"
"No." Ouyang Xiang replied: "I asked her to look after the store! She has to sleep in the dormitory in the store tonight and won't come back."
He chuckled softly: "Baby, it's just the two of us tonight, no one can disturb us. Brother Xiang, I will love you so much tonight, I will hurt you to the very core!"
The woman pinched the fat on his waist and walked in.
"You can't lie to me. The last time I got up and saw your sister, she didn't look good at all. She even chased me away!"
Ouyang Xiang coaxed in a low voice: "Don't be angry, little darling. That's just the way my sister is. Don't pay attention to her. She's grown up too. After the New Year, I'll marry her off so that she won't be an eyesore all the time."
"That's pretty much it!"
"Baby, come in quickly! Have a drink with me, and then let's go upstairs and have fun..."
Then there was the sound of the iron door closing.
Xue Ling secretly rolled his eyes and carefully closed the window.
It's really unbearable to live with such disgusting people!
She had to work hard to make money and quickly buy a good apartment and move out.
Thinking of this, she opened the English book and continued reading.
At almost eleven o'clock, Cheng Tianyuan came back.
He was dirty all over. After drinking a bowl of hot water, he quickly went to take a shower and change clothes before going upstairs.
He opened the door and saw Xue Ling still reading under the lamp, and couldn't help feeling slightly distressed.
"Daughter-in-law, why haven't you gone to bed yet? It's already eleven o'clock."
Xue Ling took his hand away and smiled sweetly at him: "I'm waiting for you!"
Cheng Tianyuan liked the cute way she acted coquettishly towards him the most. With a thought, he quickly got on the bed and pulled her into his arms.
"I will be busy for a while, and occasionally I will be late. You have to go to work tomorrow, so you need to go to bed early."
Xue Ling chuckled and snuggled into his arms, asking, "How's it going over there? Have you started building a wall?"
"Well." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Originally I just planned to build the wall directly, but Boss Liu said no. He said that since the place has been bought, it is his own place. No matter what is built in his own place, he must consider safety and long-term considerations.
He suggested laying a good foundation. If we want to build one or two more floors in the future, we can just lay bricks on it. A good foundation will make the house strong and stable and safe to live in."
"Then just listen to him! He is a professional." Xue Ling said.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "Ahu and I both listened to him. We have been working on the foundation for the past few days, and today we started to build the wall. There were about ten people, each working very fast, and they built half of the first floor in one day. Although Boss Liu
He's the boss, he does everything himself and knows how to do everything. Chen Min and I went there in the evening, and he hasn't left yet!"
Xue Ling muttered: "No wonder Brother Ahu spoke so highly of him when he introduced him!"
Cheng Tianyuan said: "He is only in his thirties, and he is very cheerful. Now he is leading more than a dozen young people to do construction projects. I heard that he is contracting to build some self-built houses in the new city."
"Oh..." Xue Ling said: "When the economy stabilizes next year, we will have to find a place to build a house, or buy an apartment."
When the economy improves, you have to consider buying your own house. You can't always rent a house.
It was quite comfortable to live here originally, but since Ouyang Xiang and his sister came here, the atmosphere next door has become smoky. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so it is better to move out as soon as possible.
"Okay!" Cheng Tianyuan readily agreed: "When we make money, we will buy a new house to live in."
Xue Ling smiled happily and snuggled into his arms.
"You've been tired all day, so go to bed early."
Cheng Tianyuan hugged her, kissed her forehead tenderly, and pulled the quilt back.
