Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 25 Translation Manuscript Fees
The sky was slightly bright, Cheng Tianyuan got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face and made breakfast.

There was a cool breeze in the morning, and it was a bit windy standing on the outside of the balcony. He didn't dare to be careless, turned around and took an old coat and put it on.

Standing on a high place, he looked at the small market in the middle of Songming Road, and found that it was already crowded with people at the entrance of the market, people coming and going.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone is busy celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend, Xue Ling is also on holiday, and the supply and marketing cooperative is also on holiday.They discussed it yesterday and planned to take the car home early tomorrow morning to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He opened the door and found that the room opposite was still dark and there was no sound at all, apparently Xue Ling was still asleep.

She is very busy these days. She goes to work during the day and has to work overtime every night as an interpreter. Sometimes she doesn't go to bed until after eleven o'clock.

He tiptoed downstairs, changed the briquettes, and then filled the water and boiled it.

Then, he ran to the market to buy the vegetables he was going to eat today, and hurried back.

The courtyard next door was tightly shut and the gates were locked.The landlord's old lady's son came by car a few days ago and took the old lady away.

The old lady asked relatives to rent out the next door, but it has not been rented out yet, and it is still locked.

He walked into the kitchen, put away the dishes, poured some hot water into the thermos, and used the rest to cook rice porridge.

"Brother Yuan..." A slightly hoarse voice came from upstairs.

Cheng Tianyuan felt strange when he heard it, and hurriedly turned and went upstairs.

Today is Saturday, and she has to go to work today, and she is usually awake at this time.But listening to the voice, it seems to be sick!
He rushed up the stairs, and hurried up the stairs three or four steps side by side.

I saw Xue Ling leaning against the door, squinting his eyes, messy hair, and a very pale face.

Cheng Tianyuan rushed forward, worried and nervously asked: "What's wrong?"

Xue Ling raised his head in confusion, frowned uncomfortably and said in a low voice, "Brother Yuan...I have a sore throat and dizziness."

When I heard Cheng Tianyuan, I immediately concluded: "You must be sick."

He took her arm and said softly, "Go, go back to the room and have a good rest. I'll help you lie down."

Xue Ling was in a daze, clinging to his arms, falling asleep with the help of his support, her eyes closed tightly, and her mouth whispered: "The alarm clock is ringing... I can't get up at all... I feel uncomfortable!"

Cheng Tianyuan helped her cover the quilt, and saw that her face was very pale.

"I'll go get you a glass of water first."

Xue Ling nodded confusedly.

Cheng Tianyuan blew the hot water to dry, patted her quilt, and told her to get up and drink water.

After Xue Ling drank the water, he regained some energy, so he went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help frowning and said: "The weather is cold, it's a bit cold in the morning and evening, you should wear an extra coat!"

After saying that, he took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.

Xue Ling felt warmer all over, and smiled slightly: "Thank you..."

Cheng Tianyuan suggested: "If you sit by the window and do translation at night, you also need to add an extra coat. Even if the window is opened small, the cool breeze will still enter the room."

Xue Ling curled his lips and smiled mockingly.

"I was so engrossed in writing last night that I forgot for a while...I didn't realize that my hands and feet were cold until I went to bed."

Cheng Tianyuan glared at her reproachfully, feeling angry and more distressed.

"You go to work during the day and work part-time at night. Don't work too hard and take care of your health."

Look at her small arms and small body, but her determination to make money is terrifying.These days, she tucks into her room after work. Except for eating and bathing, she spends all her time translating.

During dinner the day before yesterday, she said that she did not dare to take part-time jobs during working hours. Only during lunch break did she dare to quietly take out the translation book and write.I had to be busy with work and part-time jobs, I didn’t get enough rest, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge, so I fell ill.

Xue Ling shook his head and said, "It's okay! I may have caught a cold. You can make me some ginger water. I'll drink more and I'll be fine soon."

Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help being a little worried, and suggested: "Why don't you go to work today and have a good rest at home."

"Don't be afraid." Xue Ling said: "Today is Saturday, and I have already proofread the manuscript. As long as you hand it in, you can come back early in the afternoon. I have to go to the post office in the afternoon."

Seeing her insistence, Cheng Tianyuan had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs to boil ginger water.

After Xue Ling drank the ginger water, he only ate half a bowl of porridge before going to work.

Cheng Tianyuan packed the kitchen and went out to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The business of the supply and marketing cooperative is very hot on weekends, and there are a lot of customers coming in and out.

Although Cheng Tianyuan was busy, he was a little absent-minded.

I was always worried in my heart, thinking that Xue Ling's complexion was so bad, the sun was a little bright outside at noon, and I had to walk to the post office in the afternoon, so I was really worried.

During his lunch break, he ran to the drugstore and bought a few packets of Chinese medicine to treat colds, and came back sweating profusely.

Seeing him wiping his sweat, Chen Min couldn't help suggesting: "Ah Yuan, when you get your salary next month, hurry up and buy a bicycle. It will be winter in two months. You have long legs and can run. Your daughter-in-law can't do it. My sister-in-law has to go to and from get off work sooner or later, so it's more convenient for you to have a car to take you back and forth."

After hearing this, Cheng Tianyuan nodded.

"Yes, I have to consider buying it."

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the boss gave everyone two small pieces of moon cakes, and got off work an hour earlier.

Cheng Tianyuan took the moon cakes and took the traditional Chinese medicine in his arms, and took the bus to the newspaper office.

Before the newspaper closed, he asked the guard at the door if Xue Ling was off work.

"You wait, I'll go in and find it for you." The guard ran in.

After a while, Xue Ling came out with the bag on his back, his face was still very pale, his whole body was sleepy, and he had no energy at all.

Cheng Tianyuan hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Is it still hard?"

Xue Ling shook his head and smiled softly.

"I was a little sleepy in the afternoon, and I fell asleep lying on my desk... I was scolded by the deputy director. Fortunately, I finished all my work, otherwise I would definitely be scolded badly."

She looked at her watch and exclaimed, "Huh?! It's past four o'clock! Hurry up! You have to go to the post office!"

Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? The post office is a street ahead, I'll accompany you there."

Xue Ling thought of something, became excited, grabbed his arm and ran forward.

"I'm going to pick up the package. Jiaxue sent it to me a few days ago! The postman came to deliver the order yesterday afternoon, and I can pick it up today!"

The two hurried to the post office, but luckily it was still open, and picked up a small, thick package.

After leaving the post office, Xue Ling dragged him to the corner, eagerly tearing open the package.

Cheng Tianyuan saw her opening layer by layer, and then saw a thick book with a few English words on it, but the thickness was a bit strange.

Xue Ling opened the book excitedly - revealing a large stack of brand new 50-yuan Great Unity and several [-]-yuan coupons!
"Brother Yuan! Look! My first translation fee is here!"

Cheng Tianyuan stared in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "So many? How many are there?"

Xue Ling happily counted, without raising his head and giggling, he replied: "Over 3 words, a total of 650 yuan!"

"That's a lot..." Cheng Tianyuan turned to smile, and couldn't hide his envy in his eyes. He said embarrassingly: "It's good to make money by knowledge. It's only been more than half a month...it's amazing!"
