At this time, Xue Ling, who was constantly praised as "awesome", was sitting at a dilapidated desk and was working hard on translation.
Cheng Tianyuan brought two bowls of noodles and saw that she was working hard, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Daughter-in-law, it's time to have dinner."
I originally planned to make rice for dinner, but Amin and his cousin sat in the kitchen and delayed it for more than half an hour.
Fortunately, she bought a lot of vegetables yesterday, so he simply washed his hands and made ramen and fried four eggs.
Xue Ling turned a page and said, "Okay, I'll go down and eat."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly and put his face in front of her.
"I've served it. Just eat it here. I know you have to work on your part-time job tonight, so I might as well serve it for you."
Xue Ling smiled happily, thanked her, and turned to wash her hands.
Seeing a densely packed piece of paper in front of her, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Did you do all this in the past two days? Wasn't it just the translation that was handed in last week? In just a few days, how can you produce such a good work?"
Is it much? Don’t be tired."
Xue Ling washed her hands, dried them and walked over.
"Translate this thing. It is difficult to get started at the beginning. Just like in other industries, practice makes perfect. This time Jiaxue sent me a book. I took advantage of my lunch break at work these two days to read this book.
I’ve finished reading it all.”
She accepted the call and simply sat at the desk.
"I have read the book and understand the main plot, so it is not difficult to translate. Moreover, the first part of the book is full of dialogues, so it is easier to translate. I just need to speed up the process in the past two days, and I hope to complete it in three days.
Ten thousand words come out."
Twenty yuan for one thousand words, and more than six hundred yuan for more than thirty thousand words last time. She saved the six hundred, and as long as she collects another six hundred, it should be enough.
She spent more than 100 yuan on her salary to buy a bicycle, and she has only a few dozen yuan left, which should be enough to survive this month.
This is a great opportunity to make a steady profit. If you can fight for it, you must fight for it. You can’t let it go to waste!
Cheng Tianyuan asked slowly: "Can you? We went home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, and you have been busy taking care of me these two days. How many words have you written?"
Xue Ling ate the noodles and said with a smile: "It's more than 10,000 words. I did it these two nights. Yesterday when I had time at work, I did a lot more."
"That's still more than 10,000 words short." Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but feel worried.
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, the day after tomorrow is the weekend, I have enough time!"
She had to use these two days to quickly spell it out, and then call her old classmate Xiao Jiaxue and ask her to settle the settlement and send her the money quickly.
If she couldn't get it together in time, she would call her father in Imperial Capital and ask him to lend her one first.
She is not someone who makes random boasts. If she is not sure, she will not accept it.
Cheng Tianyuan did not dare to delay her, and said warmly: "Daughter-in-law, your face will become mushy when it gets cold. Eat it quickly."
Xue Ling said "hmm" to his opponent and ate big mouthfuls.
"This egg is so delicious! The egg yolk is fried to a golden color, which makes you very appetizing!"
Cheng Tianyuan grinned and whispered: "Eat quickly!"
After Xue Ling finished eating, he immediately worked hard.
Cheng Tianyuan put away the bowl, washed it, boiled hot water and poured it into a thermos.
There was a hot water bottle in the house. The old lady said she bought it before but didn't use it much.
Cheng Tianyuan has boiled it with hot water several times, and the effect is just average.
He later bought two more, one to hold hot water for drinking, and the other to hold hot water for taking a shower upstairs. The old one was also used to hold hot water for taking a shower upstairs.
The weather was getting colder, and a pot of hot water was enough for him, but Xue Ling was a little short.
He heard that women shouldn't always touch cold water when it's cold, so he tried to get as much hot water for her as possible.
He filled several thermos bottles with hot water, two in each hand and one in each hand, and carried them upstairs.
Then, he went to the balcony to collect clothes and entered the house.
"Daughter-in-law, you can take a shower now. Your clothes and hot water are in the toilet."
Xue Ling responded vaguely and continued writing with his head buried in it.
Cheng Tianyuan had no choice but to wash himself first.
Xue Ling waited for more than an hour before coming out with his neck pressed.
Cheng Tianyuan was sitting in the small living room reading a book. When he saw her coming out, he quickly poured a cup of hot water for her.
"It's a bit cold at night. Drink some hot water and then take a shower so that you won't catch a cold easily."
Xue Ling thanked him and took it, Gulu drank it, then quickly went to take a shower, and then quickly got into work mode.
Cheng Tianyuan washed their clothes and hung them on the balcony to dry. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.
It had been more than three hours since dinner, and it was just a bowl of noodles. Xue Ling was probably hungry, so she went to the kitchen to think about making something to eat.
She has finished all the vegetables she bought yesterday, leaving only a few eggs and some dry goods she bought before.
Cheng Tianyuan looked through it and found that there was nothing that could be cooked and eaten directly.
He didn't give up, looked at the glutinous rice bag aside, and quickly came up with an idea.
Translation is very mentally demanding and requires extreme concentration, otherwise you won’t be able to do it quickly at all.
Xue Ling licked her lips and felt a little thirsty. She picked up the water glass on the side and was about to go out. She found that her feet were a little cold and numb after sitting for too long, so she had to sit down again and rubbed her feet.
At this time, there was a low sound from the stairs!
Xue Ling was slightly surprised - it's so late, why are you still going downstairs?
I saw Cheng Tianyuan carrying two steaming small bowls and walking in steadily.
"Daughter-in-law, come and have some supper."
Xue Ling smiled in surprise and asked, "What is it?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained nonchalantly: "There is nothing delicious at home, so I rolled some small glutinous rice balls and cooked them. It's cold out here, so just take a sip of the sweet soup and then go to bed to warm yourself up. Don't stay up too late."
Xue Ling took the bowl of sweet soup and felt warm in her heart.
The glutinous rice balls are very small, with nothing in them, but they are chewy, sweet but not greasy, and very delicious.
In her previous life, she often stayed up late working, and occasionally slept at the company. Sometimes she would sleep less than three hours a day, and she would be so hungry in the middle of the night that she would just nibble on a few cookies.
Now that she works part-time at night, she always has warm hot water outside to drink at any time, and a hot breakfast to eat when she wakes up.
Now we even have midnight snacks, not dry biscuits and cold mineral water, but warm and sweet glutinous rice balls.
The days when someone cares about you, even if you are a little tired, your heart will be sweet.
This feeling - so good!
…
It was getting slightly brighter, so Cheng Tianyuan got up and boiled hot water for breakfast.
Xue Ling saw that he was walking very naturally, so he was relieved to let him go to work.
Cheng Tianyuan took her to the door of the newspaper office by bicycle, and then turned to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Xue Ling arrived at the newspaper office in advance and took out the translator before his colleagues arrived.
Later, colleagues arrived one after another, and no one could tell that she was not doing her job, so she continued to do it openly.
During her lunch break, she showed Editor Lin the content of the new column she had finished yesterday.
