Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 209 "Picked Up" Translation

Days passed by, and it was almost the day of Xia Nuan's final exam.

Xia Nuan has been going to the library more and more frequently recently.

Not only did I go more often, but I also stayed longer.

Sometimes, when there were no professional courses, Chu Tianling wanted Xia Nuan to rest at home so that she could have a safe pregnancy, but Xia Nuan refused to stay at home because of the final exam.

She was afraid that if she entered the system to study for too long, Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo would find something strange. Chu Tianling also knew about her study system, so she finally agreed.

"I'm afraid that you will scare your parents, but you must be careful when you run around every day," Chu Tianling asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Xia Nuan reassured him.

As the exam day approached, other people in Xia Nuan's dormitory also joined the ranks of reviewing in the library with Xia Nuan.

In fact, Xia Nuan is not worried about the final exam, but it is mainly because she has bought a lot of things in the system since she was pregnant for production and future life. Xia Nuan wants to earn back the gold coins she spent by doing tasks.

That's why she started studying advanced Italian and intermediate French again, but she didn't dare to "try hard". After all, she can't drink potions when she is pregnant. That's bad.

Not only did she suffer, it must also affect the baby.

It was the weekend again, and Xia Nuan, who had no class, studied until noon. Just when she felt a little tired and was about to go home, she turned her head and saw Chu Tianling from afar with a lunch box in her hand from the window of the school library. walked over slowly.

Xia Nuan hurriedly packed her schoolbag and went out to meet him.

"Why are you here? Didn't you agree that I'll go home for lunch?" Xia Nuan asked in surprise,
"Seeing that you haven't come back for so long, I think you must be tired from studying in the morning. It happens that I have to go back to school to return the books in the afternoon, so I asked my parents to pack the rice for you and bring it here."

Chu Tianling found a bench on the campus not far away, and took out the food for Xia Nuan to eat while it was hot.

"By the way, you said in the afternoon that you would go back to school to return the books. What books do you want to return?" Xia Nuan asked while eating.

Chu Tianling helped her pour the soup out of the insulated box, and said, "It's a strategic guidance textbook we're studying recently. There are more detailed strategic cases in the library, so I'll borrow it to have a look."

After hearing this, Xia Nuan praised him as a good student who knows how to make progress.

Chu Tianling was amused and said, "Then I'm not as good as you."

Because Xia Nuan has finished the intermediate course of Italian, it will be a little more difficult to challenge the advanced level, so she has spent all the time on it recently.

But she hadn't rested for a long time. Chu Tianling advised her that she should focus on "combining work and rest" in her studies, so Xia Nuan decided to take a half-day rest in the afternoon and continue tomorrow.

So Xia Nuan went to his school to return books with Chu Tianling after lunch.

When they arrived at the library, Chu Tianling was afraid that Xia Nuan would be very tired from climbing up and down, so he asked her to wait for him at the door, and went home together after returning the books.

After Chu Tianling entered, Xia Nuan saw a group of people walking by not far away, and there was a white-skinned foreigner among them.

Just when Xia Nuan was a little puzzled, she saw a young man with a big camera behind the team, and thought that maybe someone from their school came to interview again.

At this time, an old foreigner walked out from behind the library, wearing glasses and looking anxious, Xia Nuan thought that he might be with those people just now, so she prepared to make way for him to pass.

Unexpectedly, the old man stopped beside Xia Nuan.

Ask Xia Nuan in broken Chinese, "Excuse me, where is the playground?"

Xia Nuan didn't realize it for a while, she thought he was in such a hurry to meet up with those people, or else he should be looking for the toilet, but she didn't expect to ask her where the playground is.

She has also been to Chu Tianling School several times. Although she may not remember the name of each building in the school, the location of the playground is still easy to remember.

So she also told the old man in Chinese, "Go out along this path, and when you see a flower bed, turn right and you will find it."

I don't know if she spoke too fast or the sentence was too long. After Xia Nuan finished speaking, the foreign old man seemed even more confused.

Xia Nuan was a little embarrassed, "Is my Mandarin so bad?" She thought to herself.

But she still slowed down and said it again with gestures.

It's a pity that this old man seemed to only know the Chinese sentence just now, no matter how Xia Nuan explained it, he always looked puzzled.

Xia Nuan had no choice but to ask him in English, "Do you speak English?", but the old man still had an expression of what are you talking about.

Xia Nuan was a little speechless, "It doesn't look like an American either."

"It doesn't matter," Xia Nuan thought, "Anyway, I know a lot of languages ​​now. It's a big deal to ask him all the languages ​​I know. If he still doesn't understand, I can only take him there."

Xia Nuan held the mood of breaking the jar, and asked him in French, if he could speak French?
Unexpectedly, this time the old man nodded repeatedly as if meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.

He replied in French, "I didn't expect to meet someone who can speak French here. It was a surprise."

Xia Nuan felt that this grandfather who didn't speak Chinese very much and insisted on asking directions in Chinese was a bit cute, so Xia Nuan also said modestly.

I just learned a little French by myself, and I think French is a very beautiful language.

Now the French grandfather was even more surprised. After shaking hands with Xia Nuan, he began to chat with her.

Xia Nuan has been seriously answering his inquiries, and replied that he is not a student of this school, and that he is studying English at University B.

The old man told Xia Nuan that they came from France to Huaguo to visit the famous universities in City B. They heard that University B is the best university here, and they will also visit that school in a few days.

Today is because he just went to the bathroom by himself, and got lost on campus after he got out, so he wanted to ask a classmate for directions.

Xia Nuan also laughed, happily expressing that they are very welcome to visit B University.

She recalled the history in her heart. Although the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France was not long, the probability of encountering French people in China seems to be higher than that of Americans. It's been a year.

Just when Xia Nuan was counting the time and thought that Chu Tianling should come out, the French grandfather suddenly proposed excitedly, hoping that Xia Nuan could serve as the interpreter for them to visit B University for a few days.

Xia Nuan didn't expect the French to do things so casually, so she replied with a smile, of course, and she can apply to the school teacher at that time.

With Xia Nuan's current grades, if she applied, the teacher would definitely agree.

"In this way, I can actually test my French level and accumulate some experience for me to become a diplomat in the future. Why not do it?" Xia Nuan thought happily.

The French grandfather may also realize that he has delayed too long. After bidding farewell to Xia Nuan, he headed towards the playground.

After a while Chu Tianling also came down.

"Wait a long time." Chu Tianling took the schoolbag in Xia Nuan's hand, and helped her walk back.

"You don't know who I met just now!" Finally, Xia Nuan couldn't help but smiled slightly, and began to chatter with Chu Tianling about what happened.

"I can try what it's like to be a diplomat soon!" When Xia Nuan spoke, Chu Tianling just looked at her dancing with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, isn't it my family Nuan Nuan who is such a 'fearless' diplomat?" Chu Tianling also felt happy for Xia Nuan.

"I didn't expect this old French grandpa to 'pick up' a little French-speaking translator on the way to the toilet."

Chu Tianling was joking with Xia Nuan, which made Xia Nuan laugh so hard that she couldn't breathe, and felt that the nerves that had been tense for studying these days were relaxed.

As the sun sets, the evening breeze in early summer carries the sweetness of melons and fruits.

Xia Nuan suddenly felt emotional, "Hey, it's great, I can learn and realize my dreams."

For the first time, Xia Nuan felt that living in this era without WiFi and smartphones is not boring at all.

Because in this life, she not only has parents who love her, she is no longer an orphan, but also has brothers and friends who treat her very well.

Not to mention Chu Tianling, who grew up with her since she was a child, and still has her heart and soul.

She rubbed her stomach suddenly and said, "It would be great if the baby could come to this world sooner." Xia Nuan couldn't wait to see the baby's appearance.

Hearing this, Chu Tianling rubbed her head with a smile, "Then you are premature, that's not okay."

Xia Nuan also felt that she was too impatient, so she laughed along with her. She felt that Chu Tianling was getting more and more humorous now.

The two of them were walking on the way home, the shadows behind them changed positions because of the sinking of the sun, and the families in the compound of the military area began to cook dinner, and the smell of food wafted out from the windows of each house.

Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling greeted their comrades and neighbors who also went home together, and they also returned to the warm little home where the aroma of food was wafting and waiting for their families.
