Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while, then turned to Xue Ling and said, "It seems that our store will be open until the 26th of the lunar calendar this year."
Xue Ling was not worried at all, and explained: "If I go to the Imperial Capital this year to celebrate the New Year, I will definitely have to fly there. Xiao Ranran is too young. She needs to drink milk and change diapers. It will take at least two days and two nights on the train - she can't handle it at all.
.It won’t be too late for us to fly there on the 27th or 8th, and we will definitely be in time for the Chinese New Year.”
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and said: "Call in advance to book tickets when the time comes. Remember to remind me."
"Okay." Xue Ling said: "The factory starts work relatively late during the New Year, so we will have to wait until the Lantern Festival before coming back."
Last year, she wanted to stay for a few more days, but the newspaper office started working on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so she had to come back earlier.
Now that she no longer has a regular job at the newspaper office, she doesn't have to worry about it.
"Anything is fine." Cheng Tianyuan knew that she didn't spend much time at her parents' house all year round and wanted to stay with her parents in the imperial capital for a while, so she naturally agreed.
There were fewer customers in the store, so Xue Ling picked up a rag to wipe the counter and put away the goods.
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Daughter-in-law, haven't you been able to quit your job at the newspaper office? Didn't the old director say he wanted to recruit people? Why, it's been almost a year since we started recruiting, and we still can't find anyone.
ah?"
Nowadays, she is busy with work and cannot take on too many part-time jobs for fear that she will be too tired.
There is no time limit for the translator. Whenever the translation can be completed, it will be sent to Xiao Jiaxue. There is no need to worry about rushing the work.
It's different at the newspaper. They have to prepare a small column every week, and there's no need to be a day late. Occasionally, she prepares one or two copies in advance, so she doesn't have to worry about being too late.
Sometimes there happens to be something going on in the clothing store, and she even has to work overtime at one or two o'clock in the evening to calculate the accounting books, and there is no time to spare for small columns.
Now that she has a little son, she will probably be even busier in the future, and she will be less burdened if she can.
Xue Ling explained with a wry smile: "There are really no English talents here. I have told Director Liu several times. He posted a recruitment notice at the door of the newspaper office and published it in several issues of the newspaper. Unfortunately, no one came to apply.
He had nothing to do. I told him that if I could do it, I would do my best, and if I couldn't, I would have to resign. He advised me to hold on for a while, and if there was really no one around, I would have no choice but to cancel the column."
After she was one month old after giving birth to Xiao Ranran, she brought a dozen packs of wedding candies and a basket of oranges to the newspaper office.
Colleagues gave gifts to the children one after another, including small clothes and cotton-padded jackets, and some even asked relatives to make small cradles. They were really enthusiastic.
"We have been working together for more than half a year, and then I often returned to the company. I have always been considered a half-employee, and I have a good relationship with everyone. If I really have to resign, I will still be a little reluctant to let go!"
After Cheng Tianyuan heard this, he quickly understood.
After all, she is a high-level intellectual, well-educated, and has common topics with her colleagues in the newspaper office.
They are all her new friends in Rongcheng. If the resignation is not over, and there is no meeting or contact, the friendship will soon fade away, and there will even be no chance to meet again.
"In this case, you can figure it out! If you really can't do it, you can discuss with the director about publishing every two weeks, or every half a month."
Xue Ling nodded and explained: "I will do my best. There are still about twenty pages of the translated book, and I will try to finish it before the Chinese New Year. When I return to the imperial capital, I will give it to Jiaxue. As for whether I still want it or not.
Turn it over, you have to see if I have the energy."
Cheng Tianyuan didn't want her to be too tired, and said warmly: "Why don't you get a smaller book instead of a big one. The book you have this year is very thick, and you have been busy for a whole year and haven't finished it yet. You didn't even finish the confinement period.
We were all busy translating, and I was worried that you would hurt your eyes."
Elderly people in the village say that if a woman injures any part of her body during confinement, it may cause lifelong pain. If she encounters bad weather in the future, that part will become sore and uncomfortable in advance.
During her confinement period, she held a book and translated every day, but she worried him to death.
Xue Ling chuckled and explained: "It's okay! I still pay attention to rest. I have a nap at noon and go to bed early at night. During the confinement period, my two mothers stared at me all day long. How dare I
What a mess!"
Cheng Tianyuan took the rag and whispered: "There are no customers anymore. You go to the clothing store to clean up. I'll do it here. It's cold, so don't soak in cold water."
Xue Ling knew that he felt sorry for her, so she didn't insist. She handed him the rag and turned to walk to the clothing store.
The phone has been taken out and placed in the outermost place so that when a call is made, everyone in the store can hear it.
She hadn't been to the clothing store for several days. She saw a lot of dust accumulated around her, so she picked up a broom and swept the floor.
When I was about to finish scanning, the phone suddenly rang!
Xue Ling quickly wiped her hands and moved forward to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Lingling? I'm Liu Xing!" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xue Ling didn't expect it to be Liu Xing, so she couldn't help but ask: "How are you doing? How are you preparing for the wedding?"
Liu Xing laughed softly and explained: "It's almost time. The wedding banquet is held on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. Remember, you and your lover must come to the wedding banquet. All colleagues from the newspaper office are coming, so you can't refuse! Otherwise, you can't refuse."
Wang Qing and I must be angry!"
"Okay!" Xue Ling agreed and asked: "Is it noon or evening? Where should I place it?"
Liu Xing explained: "It's over 11 o'clock at noon at the new house. We have packed up the new house in the past few days, and all the furniture and other things are ready. My mother went over to clean it when she had time, and it was very clean.
The house is relatively large, and with the addition of the living room, it should be able to accommodate five or six tables. Two tables are for colleagues, and the other three tables are for relatives and friends. There are still twelve days, but there are many things at home, and there is also a lot of preparation for the wedding.
, I’ll tell you in advance and invite you to come with Brother Tianyuan.”
"Congratulations!" Xue Ling said: "We will definitely arrive on time. Anyway, we live in the same community. If you shout twice when you arrive, we will go there immediately. Don't make any calls if you need to!"
Liu Xing laughed and said: "It seems to make sense! From now on, we can get off the elevator at any time and see the top in a minute or two, which will be more convenient. Every time Wang Qing talks about being a neighbor with you,
I was so happy that I smiled."
Xue Ling couldn't help but sigh: "I still remember that at this time last year, you were still worried about whether to pursue Wang Qing. After a year, the two of you are about to achieve success. I am really happy for you."
Liu Xing took a long breath, feeling both emotional and melancholy.
"Yes! It's not easy to get together! Last year at this time, she agreed to my pursuit. At that time, I felt that I was the happiest and luckiest man in the world. But I was still too young and had many things to do.
People think too simply. I feel incredible that we have been able to stick to this step by step step by step!"
Wang Qing's family put a lot of obstacles in their way. At first, he even flinched, but in the end he managed to survive step by step, and the days passed and he became more and more hopeful - it was really great!
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Anyway, congratulations! I have prepared a wedding gift for you and will deliver it to the downstairs of the community in two days. I will contact you then and you can find a place to put it."
She kept the wedding gift she promised to Wang Qing in her heart and never forgot it.
Now that they were finally getting married, she had to hurry up and buy them as gifts.
Liu Xing was very curious and asked: "What gift? Is it very big and takes up a lot of space?"
