She was accustomed to using electronic devices before traveling through time. When she suddenly picked up a pen, she forgot to write.
After more than half a year of reviewing for the college entrance examination last year, she had already survived that embarrassing period.
Now looking at the English words and sentences in the newspaper, she writes smoothly with the pen in her hand, without even stumbling.
However, translation manuscripts require accuracy, especially when Director Ma mentioned it alone, so Lu Miao did not dare to take it lightly.
Tang Mei was helping to take care of the child, and no one disturbed her. Lu Miao was busy working under the small desk lamp in the study, and she became more and more focused unknowingly.
He didn't even notice that the sky outside the window had completely darkened.
Tang Mei called for dinner several times downstairs, but she didn't hear her.
As soon as Fu Jingyou entered the yard, she heard Tang Mei shouting.
"Dad and aunt eat first. Miaomiao may be asleep. I'll go up and have a look."
Fu Jingyou washed his hands and went upstairs with Xiao Mingxia in his arms.
He went up and went straight to the room. The room was dark.
He turned on the desk lamp and opened the door of the small study when he found no talent.
As expected, the daughter-in-law was sitting under the lamp with concentration and busy writing about something.
“Mom~”
Xiao Mingxia spoke softly.
Lu Miao looked up and realized that her neck and back were so sore:
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Looking at his watch, he realized that it was not too early.
It’s past seven o’clock in the evening.
“Time flies so fast.”
Lu Miao capped the pen.
Fu Jingyou walked to her side.
He held the child with one hand, and freed his other hand to rub the back of her neck, "What are you busy with?"
Fu Jingyou tilted his head slightly and glanced.
He recognized the newspaper, but he didn’t recognize the English words in the newspaper that were twisting and turning like earthworms, and it didn’t look like Pinyin.
Lu Miao took her daughter in her arms and kissed her twice. She opened a few pages of manuscript paper that she had translated and said:
“Look, these pages are almost equivalent to nine yuan!”
The green-lined manuscript paper has a grid size of 25x20. One side has 500 words, and six sheets have exactly 3,000 words.
Calculated as three yuan for a thousand words, it is nine yuan.
It has been almost four hours since she came back after three o'clock.
According to the translation speed of main text manuscripts, it is still relatively efficient.
This is just the time I took over, and as I get used to it, I should be able to improve my speed in the future.
She talked about her experience buying the book today and how long it took to translate this part of the manuscript. The joy on her face was engraved in Fu Jingyou's heart.
Four hours, nine dollars, in terms of time cost, it is undoubtedly a profit.
But while making so much money, it is undoubtedly hard work behind the scenes.
It’s just that laymen can’t tell the difference.
Fu Jingyou stroked the black hair on the top of her head, and her face softened.
"If you like doing it, just do it in your free time. Don't work too hard."
"I know~ Can I still tire myself out?"
Lu Miao curled her lips, grabbed his hand, and bit the side of his hand gently as if to do something evil. Her eyes were particularly clear under the lamp.
"Isn't the current situation special? I just want to work hard and help you share the burden so that we can move into our little home as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Fu Jingyou nodded slightly, My heart was warmed by the words "little family".
“Go downstairs for dinner.”
“Yes.”
Lu Miao went downstairs with him with her child in her arms.
"How are you today? Is there any new news?" "I made several trips to the production team and brigade today. I have received the stamped documents from the brigade. I will go there tomorrow to re-measure the land and draw clear boundaries. "
Fu Jingyou thought and said:
"You can bring the money to get the land title almost the day after tomorrow."
Buying a house in the future will have a real estate certificate, but now the houses in the old alleys will have old-fashioned title deeds.
Lu Miao nodded after hearing this, and said something at the dinner table during the meal:
"The land I bought will probably have to be paid the day after tomorrow. Dad will arrange it at that time. If you have time, why don't you go with Brother You? The amount is not small, so don't worry about it. "
Losing money is small, don't meet a cruel person, it will cost your life.
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, knowing this.
The old daughter called her dad for the first time in the past few days since she entered the house. She couldn't let her down no matter what she said.
Tang Mei came back with a small bowl of soup for the two children:
"I just called you to eat, but there was no movement at all. What are you doing up there? I haven't seen you showing up since I came back in the afternoon. ”
Lu Miao chuckled and briefly talked about the translation office.
After hearing this, Lu Yuanzheng glanced at her a few times without making a clear statement.
Tang Mei was very happy, "I just said that our little treasure has a lot of potential. Look, he earned nine yuan in one afternoon!"
Lu Miao waved her hand, afraid of saying too much. Arousing suspicion, he quickly added:
“I actually I’m giving it a try, but I don’t know what to think... After the manuscript is submitted, it will be reviewed, and it may not be a good choice.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it, you are still young.”
Tang Mei smiled encouragingly:
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, just think of it as learning and training."
Lu Miao nodded.
Tang Mei said cheerfully and sternly:
“Don’t worry too much. I suffered a big mistake when I gave birth to a child before. Now I am not sure whether my body is strong or not, so I still have to pay more attention to it. "
"Yeah, yeah, got it."
Mingyi Mingxia has recovered a bit and is still sleeping with her grandma down there today.
Maybe he had just come into contact with the translation job, and there was a fire in his chest. Lu Miao was always thinking about the newspaper he brought back.
After eating and washing, she went upstairs without stopping to continue tinkering.
There was no stove in the small study, so she turned off the light and took the things to the room.
She held the index finger of one hand against the newspaper and muttered sentence by sentence, and wrote the translated Chinese meaning on the manuscript paper with her other hand.
Fu Jingyou then went upstairs.
While she was busy under the lamp, Fu Jingyou took a book and watched beside her.
Finally seeing that it was getting late, Fu Jingyou reminded her to sleep.
She said "Hmm" coquettishly:
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's almost over, the last five elements!"
I kept fussing over it until ten o'clock.
Lu Miao capped the pen again and stretched with satisfaction.
I hastily cleared the table, folded the newspaper, put it on the manuscript paper and pressed it with a book. Lu Miao stretched out her arms and asked Fu Jingyou to carry her to bed.
"Today is an exception. It's the first time I've taken on a job. These manuscripts have to be sent over for review before we know if they'll work."
She curved her lips and placed her lips on his chin, "Boom." "Twice.
"If I can pass it, I will take my time if there are similar manuscripts in the future."
Fu Jingyou said "hmm" in a low voice, and the frown between his eyebrows gradually relaxed.
Fu Jingyou went out to run the house the next day.
Lu Miao did a finishing check on the manuscripts from the previous day.
After making sure there was no problem, she found a paper file bag in the middle drawer of the study cabinet.
I put the newspaper and the translated manuscript in it and went downstairs and out the door.
Lu Miao went straight to the Guoguang Translation Center on Chongwenwai Street.
Director Ma is here today.
