Chapter 327 The cannon fodder sister-in-law in the group favorite article (25)
As soon as he said this, the secretary's expression changed.
"Is that what you just told him?"
Shen Jia was also a little nervous. He did say that, but who knew that this sentence actually meant this!
As a result, Jiang Lai continued.
"Also, the "sweetwater" someone mentioned just now means fresh water. Teacher Shen translated it as sugar water. Those people may have known it was a misunderstanding, but if the translation is wrong, it will have a great impact on the subsequent work. ”
"Oh, Tamsui... No wonder, I was also puzzled that he suddenly asked about the scale of sugar water in our county! I thought he was asking how many sugar water sellers there are in our county!
Tamsui, that’s right, Tamsui is right! ”
Shen Jia could no longer keep the calmness on his face. He wiped his sweat and quickly took a step back.
"It seems that I can't handle these colloquial things. I'd better let this little girl do it. I'm not good at learning, so I don't want to waste your time."
How dare the secretary continue to ask Teacher Shen to translate after everything like this, so he quickly replaced him with Jiang Lai.
Now the efficiency of the two people's chat was immediately improved. Jiang Lai spoke at a suitable speed and had quick brain reactions. Whether it was Chinese or English, she could immediately translate without any pause as soon as the other party finished speaking, and all of them were spoken. , concise and easy to understand content.
Zhao Ziyu, who was pouring tea on the side, was stunned. He was completely desperate when he first came to find Jiang Lai. He never expected that he could find treasure from a small village!
The conversation lasted more than two hours, ranging from customs and habits to national changes, and finally involved a considerable part of geological content, the span of related fields, and some professional terminology. Not to mention translation, I almost didn’t understand the Chinese meaning. Understand.
In the end, Zhao Ziyu only had admiration for the strong in his eyes.
Boss, this is really a boss, what kind of land are you still farming? Why don’t you just hand it over to the state!
After the interview ended in the morning, the geologist and the secretary had a very happy chat. Both of them were smiling and even had lunch together.
During this period, Jiang Lai followed him, and by the way, he had a sumptuous lunch, including Chinese and Western food, just because the overseas Chinese was not used to eating and would not be full.
When he finally left, the geologist had a special chat with Jiang Lai for a while.
After work was over, the secretary took Jiang Lai to visit the lake park behind the unit.
"Did you just learn English from that old gentleman in the country?"
"Well, he is well-informed and just learned this."
Jiang Lai opened his eyes and told lies. Anyway, no such person has been found. Whatever she said, the secretary had to believe it even if he didn't believe it. Otherwise, how could he explain that a girl from the countryside who had never studied in school could speak fluent English.
There were many doubts, but the secretary did not hold on to them. He sighed after knowing that Jiang Lai had never even graduated from elementary school.
"It's really difficult to handle your academic qualifications."
As long as you have some junior high school education, you can get an exceptional job.
"You don't have to be embarrassed. Just ask me if you need it next time. Besides, I'm not obligated to help. Didn't your secretary give me so many tickets and money?"
It's not much money, only ten yuan.
But tickets are rare, and a lot of them were given randomly, all of which were left over from this year’s distribution.
It's not a loss this time, after all, there is a watch ticket in it. Jiang Lai plans to get some more money to buy Xie Jian a watch, so that he can have a sense of time when working in the future.
The secretary looked at Jiang Lai with deep approval in his eyes.
"If you can't come to work in the county, you can't continue to do meaningless work. You are a talent, and our country needs talents now. I will arrange a job for you in your village secretary's office first, and I won't let you work in vain. ”
"Okay, thank you secretary."
Since the geologist's translator would recover soon, Jiang Lai had nothing to do for the time being, so the secretary sent a car to take him back in person.
The news that Jiang Lai came back from town in a car spread throughout the village. At the end of autumn, there was not so much work to do, and everyone was free and had time to chat about the Xie family's affairs.
The third daughter-in-law and Lu Cuiping got into a fight. The third daughter-in-law not only refused to help her, but even broke her legs.
This news is the most reliable, because Lu Cuiping has indeed not appeared again recently. She usually likes to hang out in crowded places, but now she is not seen when she is not busy after eating, so those who are watching the excitement are convinced. My own conjecture.
Lu Cuiping was indeed very ill. She was so angry that she couldn't eat or drink. Her teeth itched with hatred when she slept. She really regretted marrying such a thing to her third son for being so cheap.
Boss Xie advised her to relax and not dwell on such trivial matters. After being scolded by Lu Cuiping, she stopped talking.
Xie Yumian's status in the family has quietly changed since there was a commotion in Jianglai. In the past, someone would bring a bowl of poached eggs in sugar water on time, but recently the poached eggs were gone, and no one even called her to eat.
Xie Yumian felt uncomfortable in her heart. When had she ever been treated like this? The things she gave her didn't get anything good at all, but she was disliked by others.
In the end she lost her temper and went to the woods alone. In the past, she would always encounter some unexpected goods. It was the same today. As soon as she entered the woods, she ran into a fat gray rabbit, squatting there motionless. Yes, let Xie Yumian step forward and pick it up.
As she walked back, there was no one around. Xie Yumian walked slowly, thinking that she might run into someone else. Suddenly, a pair of rough hands unexpectedly covered her mouth from behind, followed by a wave of saying no. The smell of bad breath wafted from the side of his face, and the men's "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds made Xie Yumian stiff with fear, and she subconsciously screamed.
"Don't scream!"
The man's voice sounded familiar, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears and struggled wildly, calling for help.
The other party was obviously also scared. Seeing Xie Yumian's movements getting louder and louder, he let go of his hand and turned around to run. He was suddenly knocked down by a figure before he could even take two steps.
Immediately afterwards, heavy fists fell on his face like raindrops. The man who hit him couldn't even scream, so he could only hold his face and let the other person hit him. The blows were hard and heavy, and in the end he was almost broken and the other person was angry. Just stop.
Xie Yumian stood aside crying and trembling all over. Seeing Xie Jian coming over with his hands covered in blood, she rushed forward and grabbed his arm with red eyes.
"Is he dead?"
"Not dead."
"Is he Jiang Lai's brother! Is he Jiang Jinbao!"
Xie Jian tightened his lips, glanced back, and nodded.
"It's him! It must be Jiang Lai who instigated it! Brother, it must be Jiang Lai!"
"You're scared. Don't talk nonsense. Your sister-in-law won't do such a thing."
Xie Yumian's already tense nerves could no longer withstand any stimulation. (End of chapter)
