Moving and settling in were not easy. Fortunately, Xue Ling had the weekend off the next day, and she added a lot of things intermittently, and finally settled down.
Cheng Tianyuan is on duty on weekends and leaves early in the morning.
After Xue Ling finished his work, he warmed up the morning steamed buns and ate them. He took a nap at noon and started translating when he woke up. He did not rest until Cheng Tianyuan came back in the evening.
He made two large bowls of ramen for dinner and gave her one bowl.
Xue Ling had a small appetite and smiled bitterly: "How can I finish eating so much!"
Cheng Tian didn't even raise his head and tapped her big bowl with chopsticks.
"You are too thin, eat more."
Xue Ling tried her best to eat most of it, but could no longer eat the rest.
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to be very hungry, so he naturally took the leftovers from her and ate them in big gulps, then put away the dishes and washed them.
"I have something to do tonight, please close the yard and go to bed early."
Xue Ling looked at his tall and tall back and couldn't help but ask the question that had been in his mind for many days.
"Where...are you going to do part-time work at night? What are you doing?"
Cheng Tianyuan was washing dishes by himself and explained: "It doesn't matter where I am. I mainly help unload and load some trucks. The physical work is a bit tiring, but I can make money."
The supply and marketing cooperative was only open during the day, and there were still several hours in the evening before going to bed, and he was not willing to waste it.
If your family is poor, the extra dollar you can earn is a dollar.
"The physical work is dirty and tiring, and I have to deal with the local bosses. But occasionally I can earn five or six yuan in a few hours, which is enough for me to eat and drink for a few days. I am still young and have plenty of strength. As long as I work hard, I will have no worries.
Gotta eat and drink.”
Xue Ling couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he heard this. He bit his lower lip lightly and looked at his tough side face with burning eyes.
"Brother Yuan, my family just sold the land a while ago, do you still have some money left? Don't work too hard."
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned, then laughed softly.
"Don't worry, I'm not tired. I took most of the five hundred yuan from you to pay off the debt. Fortunately, I paid off all of it, and the remaining one hundred yuan was used for dad's medical expenses."
Xue Ling thought of her father-in-law's arm and felt deeply apologetic.
"Our dad's arm has been injured for so many years, and we can't always get treatment in the countryside. I read the newspaper the day before yesterday, and there was a report in it that the big hospital in the provincial capital has imported prosthetics that can be installed. How about we go and find out?
Ask around. After the prosthetic limb is installed, you can do some simple movements and even work freely."
If it hadn't been for saving her father, her father-in-law's arm wouldn't have been in constant pain for so many years.
She feels sorry for the elderly and wants to help them reduce their discomfort and pain.
Cheng Tianyuan never expected this and asked in surprise: "Really? Over there in the provincial capital? I'll go find out tomorrow!"
Xue Ling nodded, not daring to explain that imported prosthetics and surgery cost several thousand yuan, and said: "Let's save money quickly and take our dad to the provincial capital to see it later."
Cheng Tianyuan turned his handsome face, a warm look flashed across his brows.
"good!"
He washed the dishes faster, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in pleasure. He liked the feeling of her saying "our dad", it felt like a warm family.
That night, Xue Ling was translating books until half past eleven. When she heard the courtyard door open outside, she got up and saw a vague but familiar figure coming back. Then she quietly turned off the lights and went to bed tiredly to rest.
Early the next morning, Cheng Tianyuan got up and made breakfast, frying several large fried dough sticks and cooking two large bowls of porridge.
Xue Ling ate so deliciously that she couldn't help but praise it again and again.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled, knocked on her bowl, and said warmly: "Eat quickly, we have to walk to work soon. Bear with it for a while, and when I get my salary in half a month, let's go buy a second-hand bicycle."
In the past, he always borrowed his bicycle from Amin, and he was embarrassed to always borrow it from him.
The downstairs here is wide and there is a yard. You can buy a car for transportation. It is easier to get in and out, and it is also convenient for two people to go to work.
Xue Ling nodded quickly in response.
After eating, Cheng Tianyuan packed up the dishes and went to wash them.
"You go pack your things and go to work first. I will take a short walk to the supply and marketing cooperative in a moment. It will take you five or six minutes to get there. You go first so as not to be late."
Xue Ling agreed and went out carrying the diagonal bag.
The air in the morning is very good. The roads are full of people rushing to work, walking or riding bicycles. Occasionally, buses drive by slowly.
Seeing that it was still early, Xue Ling took it as a walk after dinner and walked slowly to the newspaper office.
Unexpectedly, she was careless and walked over there. It was already 8:05 and her colleagues had already started to go to work.
She quietly greeted everyone, quickly packed her things and sat down.
Wang Qing took advantage of filling the pen with ink and winked at her.
"The deputy director is back from a business trip, and he asked us about you just now. We usually have a meeting on Monday morning, and everyone will go in later, so you have to be more vigilant."
Xue Ling was startled and couldn't help but whisper: "What are you being wary of? What is the deputy director's name? Is she a woman?"
Wang Qing nodded, frowned and whispered: "Her name is Zhen Zhen. She is in her thirties and has never been married... She is very strict and trains people every day. You are a newcomer and you will bear the brunt of the training."
Liu Xing, who was on the opposite side, raised his head and made a machete motion.
"You are a newcomer. What does it mean to be a newcomer? It means that you need to be taught a lesson! That deputy director, you have to train him for a long time on everything. If you have something to do, train him as hard as you can. In short, you must train him! Senior here to advise the newcomers,
Be careful, be careful!"
Xue Ling quietly made a gesture of thanksgiving by cupping his fists, then calmly took out his English book and selected the appropriate content for this week.
Half an hour later, Director Liu informed everyone to go to the conference room for a meeting.
Xue Ling generously took the record book and sat next to Wang Qing.
At this time, a woman wearing black glasses, a ponytail, a black skirt and a gray top strode in with a cold face.
Her facial features are plain, her face is gray and livid, and she is dressed in an old-fashioned way. She looks far from thirty years old!
As soon as she came in, everyone's relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense. They shouted politely and respectfully: "Deputy Director Zhen!". Wang Qing was timid, so she followed him and shouted in a low voice.
Zhen Zhen was arrogant, with eyes like a strict inspection officer, looking at everyone coldly. Facing the respectful shouts from everyone, she just said "hmm" in a low voice, and the corners of her mouth were tightened, as if she was very majestic.
Xue Ling snickered secretly and tried hard to hold back the smile on his lips.
This is a typical version of the real-life Master Miu!
Director Liu also came in, with his usual gentle and loving smile, and said to Xue Ling before he sat down: "Xiao Xue, the English column last week was excellent! Several people told me that it was very interesting and lively, and the meaning of learning is
It’s also big!”
Except for Master Miejie, everyone else looked at Xue Ling with congratulatory smiles.
Xue Ling quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you, director! I just came here and I don't have much experience yet. I have to rely on everyone to guide me."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was very good.
Unexpectedly, a cold and strict voice sounded: "You are new here. Of course you have no experience. In the future, you will learn from your seniors. Don't think that you will be arrogant because you did it well the first time. Editing is a long-term job.
, it cannot be learned overnight.”
As soon as he spoke, the entire conference room fell silent!
Xue Ling snickered secretly - she is indeed the Master of Jue! With this appearance and this level, she can be called the best!
She nodded heavily and responded: "Yes, thank you, deputy director, for your teaching. I will remember it!"
