Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 51 It's Raining
Xue Lingling ate happily and happily!

I only get to eat dumplings during the holidays. I didn’t expect that my husband was so capable even though he was injured. He made so many dumplings in one go. It was really amazing!
"I like to eat leek dumplings the most! Wow! So delicious!"

Seeing her eating quickly, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but advise: "Be careful, there is still a lot in the pot, eat slowly, don't get burned!"

Xue Ling stopped talking and kept eating.

The homemade dumplings have thin skins and plenty of fillings. The leeks and meat are extremely fresh. They are also coated with a thin layer of oil. When you bite into them, they are fragrant and tender - they are really delicious!

Cheng Tianyuan took one bite and explained: "There is also cabbage filling inside. The cabbage is home-grown and is very sweet. You can try it later, maybe you will like cabbage more."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Xue Ling couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing that she was eating quickly, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Are you hungry? That's right. We had breakfast very early today. It's already past twelve o'clock. I was busy making dumplings just now and waited until the fillings were all finished. It’s already twelve o’clock.”

"It's okay." Xue Ling said, "Eat this time so you won't be too hungry for dinner."

Cheng Tianyuan gave her a doting look and whispered: "You are always right."

I don't know if educated people are better at talking, but he found that everything she said seemed to be correct.

When he came home the day before yesterday, his old father secretly grabbed his hand and whispered that Lingling was a good old wife, knowledgeable and well-informed.

She is so eloquent, sensible and considerate. No wonder her parents recognized her so much after only a few days together!
Xue Ling chuckled and raised his chin proudly.

"What I say is all the truth, and it is also the truth with reason and evidence!"

Cheng Tianyuan pushed the soy sauce in her direction and said warmly: "A little bit of this sauce will prevent you from getting tired of it easily. There's a lot of meat in the dumplings!"

Xue Ling looked outside and found that the sky was a little dark.

"Look, there might be some light rain this afternoon."

Cheng Tianyuan said: "You need to bring a raincoat and a coat. The weather will get cooler when it rains, so don't catch a cold."

Xue Ling nodded and said: "I won't go to work until two o'clock. I'll go up and do some translation after I'm full. It won't be too late before I get there."

After eating, Cheng Tianyuan took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes.

Xue Ling rushed to do it and said: "Your foot is still injured. You are a patient and you should rest."

Cheng Tianyuan pushed her away and said without refusal: "You still have to work, and I have nothing to do. This is a leg injury, not a hand injury. I just stand here without moving. Aren't my legs always resting?"

Xue Ling couldn't help but smile and wiped his hands upstairs.

She didn't take a break, and hurriedly did more translations, and didn't go out until about 40:[-].

Cheng Tianyuan sat outside the small living room, pointed to a half-year-old raincoat on the table, and said, "Bring it with you. If it really rains, you have to put it on."

Xue Ling stepped forward quickly, picked it up and stuffed it into a military-colored bag.

Cheng Tianyuan reminded: "I bought this before, it's a bit big for you. Be careful when you turn or something."

"I know!" Xue Ling told him not to run around, turned around and went downstairs.

She went to work on her bicycle.

When we arrived at the newspaper office, everyone had just rested and was getting ready to go to work. When they saw her pushing her bicycle, they couldn't help but ask her when she bought the bicycle.

Xue Ling smiled and explained: "I bought it the day before Mid-Autumn Festival, and my husband bought it for his friend."

When everyone asked about the price, they all praised it as cheap.Liu Xing patted his thigh and said in annoyance: "Why didn't I have a chance to hit such a great opportunity? Look at this car. It's really new. It's not an exaggeration to say it's brand new!"

Editor-in-Chief Lin sneered: "That's how things are, you want it, but you don't! When you don't want it anymore, the opportunity will come to you!"

"Sister Lin, you have a vicious mouth!" Liu Xing was angry and funny.

At this time, Deputy Director Zhen came out, and seeing them all gathered together, he immediately put on an air of leadership.

"What are you doing?! It's time for work, what are you still doing here? Did the newspaper hire you here to chat and joke? Huh?"

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts immediately, and entered the working state at a rapid and hasty speed.

Xue Ling's work is not heavy. After finishing the content of the column, she checks it twice, and then takes time to read English books and look up the dictionary.

When she was studying in school, she only occasionally did translation problems at most. She never thought about such a big project as translating books.

If it weren't for a good friend like Xiao Jiaxue who made the decision, and she was short of money and had to bite the bullet, she wouldn't have dared to put it in the past!
Fortunately, the newspaper office has a lot of books and dictionaries, so when she encounters difficulties in translation, she will secretly write them down, look them up when she has time at work, and remember them after learning.

She was the only one in the newspaper who knew English, and Wang Qing only knew a few words, so she was in charge of her columns alone, and Editor-in-Chief Lin passed them after a few glances.

What she usually does in the newspaper office, other people can't understand, so they never care about her.

Even Deputy Director Zhen, a well-known "strict" boss, didn't know how to control her. Seeing her sitting quietly and writing, she had no chance to control her at all, so he didn't.

So she "blatantly" deserted until she got off work.

Colleagues packed up, and some yelled: "Dark clouds are accumulating more and more! It looks like it's going to rain heavily!"

"Yes! Everyone hurry up and go home! Don't be drenched in water!"

Although Xue Ling had a raincoat, he was afraid of heavy rain, so he quickly put his bag on his shoulders and strode outside.

"Xiao Xue! Xiao Xue!" Someone called her from behind.

Xue Ling turned her head and saw that it was the old aunt from the back kitchen, who was walking quickly with two aluminum lunch boxes, and hurried forward to meet her.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

The old aunt smiled and explained: "I didn't know you asked for leave this morning. I didn't know that you asked for a half-day leave until lunch was served. I thought you would come to eat, so I stayed in the big pot in the kitchen to warm it. I I was so busy cleaning up that I forgot about it for a while.”

Xue Ling felt warm in his heart, and said, "Auntie, I'll send you to eat!"

The old aunt shook her head and refused: "No, this is a benefit from the newspaper office. How dare I take it! Besides, I also eat it at noon! You can take it home for dinner, it's still warm!"

Xue Ling had no choice but to thank him and took it, stuffing it into a slanted bag, and said: "Then I'll bring the lunch box over tomorrow."

The old aunt waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, just remember to bring it here."

Seeing that the sky was dark, Xue Ling didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly rode his bicycle to Songming Road.

Unexpectedly, when it was about to arrive, it began to rain heavily!
Pedestrians on the road dodged one after another, and some ran.

Xue Ling quickly jumped out of the car, took out the raincoat and put it on, and stepped on the car back to the rental house.

Before he got to the door, he saw Cheng Tianyuan holding an umbrella, poking his head and waiting for him. He was obviously relieved to see her stepping on a bicycle and turning in.
