Chapter 321 The cannon fodder sister-in-law in the group favorite article (19)
"Pheasant meat, very fragrant."
"How to sell?"
"This is more expensive, only 90 cents per catty. If you have a cloth ticket, I will give you 30 cents per catty."
The man frowned and hesitated.
“I don’t have cloth tickets, but can I get pastry tickets?”
Jiang Lai nodded.
"Okay."
Here Jiang Lai sold out all the things he brought, leaving only a little pickled fish, and exchanged it with the twist seller nearby for a whole bag of twists.
Since Dajiang came to this world, he has basically never eaten any serious snacks. In addition to those sweet and greasy candies, Xie Jian went to the mountains to pick wild fruits.
So this big bag of twists satisfied Jiang Lai's craving, and he couldn't stop eating it on the way back. On the way, he also used the pastry coupons he exchanged to buy a solid jujube paste cake, which Jiang Lai tasted. One bite, the sweet and sour jujube paste paired with the soft outer skin is particularly delicious.
Maybe it's because she hasn't eaten good food for a long time. In the past, Jiang would not even take a second look at these things, but now she eats them happily.
There were a few new faces on the tractor, and each person was given three cents to get on the tractor. The tractor was driven by a young man who would greet Jiang Lai enthusiastically every time he saw her, and Jiang Lai would nod.
This time I got on the bus and was about to get used to the small bench I was sitting on when I saw a fair and beautiful little girl sitting on the bench. Next to the girl stood a man wearing a dark blue cotton coat, his head held high. Her breasts are enlarged and her body is tall and straight, standing there as eye-catching as a green pine tree.
Jiang Lai glanced at the pair of white leather shoes on the girl's feet, and then looked at the gray rubber casual shoes on the man's feet. They were not cheap.
In addition to these two people, there were two unfamiliar faces. One was a middle-aged man wearing a black Lei Feng hat. His brows were furrowed and he looked like he might be a leader.
Next to the man was a young man, fair and clean, who had been listening to the leader's words since he got into the car, nodding and taking notes.
This tractor was entering the village. The village was harvesting in the autumn. All the roads were paved with freshly beaten wheat. Except for tractors and ox carts, other vehicles could not get in, so people coming and going from the town were all sitting on this one. tractor.
Jiang Lai stood next to the middle-aged man, holding his own twist in his arms, listening to the man's constant talk.
"Now where do you want me to find people who can speak English! If you don't tell me sooner or later, you have to tell me now! As soon as the college entrance examination resumes, I have to find some foreign experts. What can I do now? Where can I find people who can speak English?"< br>
The young people on the side lowered their heads silently and did not dare to say anything.
"You're just a high school student! You can't even speak a word of English!"
"When I was in school... no one taught these things."
"When the time comes, you go to the school to inspect and see if there is anyone who can speak English. The experts will come tomorrow and no matter what you do, you have to change it for me!"
The young man nodded silently with a grimace.
Where can he find it?
"Comrade, why are you looking for someone who can speak English?"
A clear voice suddenly sounded next to him. The young man looked at the leader and then whispered.
"We have an overseas Chinese here who has returned to China and brought back a lot of advanced technology, but we can't find anyone here who can speak English, so we can't communicate with these overseas Chinese."
After speaking, the young man sighed again and shook his head.
Why are you telling her this? She doesn't necessarily know what an overseas Chinese is.
When Jiang Lai heard this, he asked.
"Oh, you just need a translator."
"Yes, yes, you know the translation?"
"Is it good to be your translator?"
The young man smiled.
"Of course, what? Do you know anyone who speaks English?"
"Yes."
"Really?!"
The young man's excited voice rose a lot, causing many people in the car to look over, and then he quickly lowered his voice.
"Do you really know him? We here require people to speak English fluently, not just to be able to come up with a few words."
“Don’t worry, you can speak English as well as Mandarin!”
the young man asked impatiently.
"How about you take me to have a look? How about you take me to have a look as soon as you get off the car?"
"Don't you see? It's me."
"..."
The young man's expression changed faster than the sky.
He looked Jiang Lai up and down. For a moment, he wondered if he had met a fool. After all, there were many such people in the village.
Jiang Lai looked at the other party's visible disappointment and impatience, and continued without any rush.
"You don't believe it? You can test me."
"What do people say?"
"People."
The young man's eyes changed as soon as he heard it. He was really good at it.
"What does the house say?"
"House."
"Where is the village?"
"Village."
……
The young man asked a lot more questions, and finally asked all the questions he knew. Then he started to ask random questions, and at the same time, he lowered his head and kept reading the English dictionary he had just borrowed.
"What does the wheat field say?"
"Wheatland."
"Then say one more thing, I am cutting wheat in the wheat field."
Jiang Lai answered with a smile, fluently and simply.
Although the young man didn't understand it very well, Jiang Lai's pure pronunciation completely convinced him that the woman in front of him really knew English!
"Who did you learn English from?"
"An old madman from the country."
"Old madman?!"
"Yeah, I used to be a university teacher in the city. Later I went to the countryside and was reformed. After being imprisoned in a pig pen for a few years, I went crazy. Sometimes I brought him food and he taught me how to speak English. He also said that he Stayed overseas! ”
The young man was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
My heart is filled with only pity and regret.
"What about others?"
"Dead."
"Dead?!"
"Well, I died of illness."
The young man stomped his feet in regret, his eyes shining when he looked at Jiang Lai.
"You really met a great person."
If you can teach a country girl to speak fluent English, you can imagine how powerful that old gentleman must be.
It's a pity, it's a pity that he didn't last until the spring flowers bloomed.
"You haven't told me what the benefits of translating for you are."
"When you get off the bus, talk to my leader. Tell him what you want directly."
Jiang came to look at the middle-aged man sitting next to him, his eyes resting on the light blue overalls under his coat.
"Why did you come to our village?"
"Inspection...er, visiting."
Just as the tractor stopped, Jiang Lai got off first, and the young man chased her behind and asked.
"Then where should I find you tomorrow?"
"My husband's name is Xie Jian. If you walk along this road to the end, you can see our house. You can ask someone then."
"Well, can I pick you up tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Lai frowned.
"I still have to work in the fields."
"Be our translator, and we will make up for the lost time." (End of Chapter)
