Chapter 87 Knowledge is Wealth
After listening to Zhang Fulan’s words, Jiang Xia guessed that her wanting to ask him for help must be related to her knowledge of French. This girl has a very enthusiastic personality, which reminded Jiang Xia of her best friend in her previous life, and said, "Can Just help me, but you don’t need to spend so much money. These things are too expensive and I can’t accept them. I don’t know if I can help you.”
Zhang Fuyan said with a smile: “I am borrowing flowers to pay respect to Buddha. My grandma has so much stuff in her house that I can’t finish it. She asked me to get it, and I didn’t spend a penny.”
After Zhang Fuyan put the things down, she went to the back seat of the car to hug them. Several French books came back.
“My aunt works in a publishing house. These foreign books are urgently needed to be translated and published. She asked me to help, but there are too many books and I can’t handle them all by myself, so I thought "I wonder if you have time to do it with me?"
Isn't this because I fell asleep and someone gave me a pillow? Jiang Xia took a look and saw that there were three thick books. She had read the translation in her previous life, and said directly: "You are helping me, not me helping you. I am looking for a part-time job as a translator."
Of course Zhang Fulan Knowing that she wanted to find a job as a translator, she came here specifically to find her. Of course, her aunt was really short of translators.
She picked up the three thick books and said: "My aunt paid me one hundred yuan for each of these three thicker books, and fifty yuan for these four thinner books. I I’ll give it to you at this price, what do you think?”
This is the price her aunt gave her. It would never be so high for others. She specially brought a few more copies to share with Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia didn't know how much it cost to translate now. It was not very thick even though it was thick. She felt that the price was definitely not low. She nodded: "Okay, I can finish the translation for you in about a month."
Zhang Fulan was surprised. There are seven books here, three of them are quite thick. Can they be translated in a month?
She said hurriedly: "Don't worry, you can just translate one book in half a month. Then send each translated book to the publishing house, and you can get the money first."
Jiang Xia: "Then I will translate one book first and bring it to you in two days to see what you think."
"Okay."
Mother Zhou took a look at the books Book, silently raised his finger: One book is one hundred, three books is three hundred, two fifty is one hundred, two books is one hundred, four books is two hundred, then isn’t the total five hundred yuan?
Xiao Xia can complete the translation in one month. If a book is translated every month, wouldn’t he be able to earn 500 a month?
My dear, she usually earns one yuan a day from weaving fishing nets, but the most she earns in a month is about thirty yuan.
Knowledge is wealth, it is indeed the truth!
Jiang Xia said again: "Do you have any other foreign books that need to be translated? I also understand English and Russian."
Jiang Xia didn't dare to say too much, she saw it on the original owner's bookshelf Can only speak English and Russian books.
When you go to college and take some electives, you can use the six foreign languages you learned in your previous life and try to learn a few more in this life.
She has a strong talent for language, and she is the kind of person who is rewarded by God. So she took foreign languages as an elective during her four years of college and postgraduate studies.
It’s free to take classes in college anyway, so why not pay more?
After paying off the debt, she no longer has to work so many jobs and can take classes when she has time.
Foreign languages can be learned while working, walking, taking the bus, or even taking a shower, so she learned the most. She took four foreign languages in four years as an undergraduate and two more as a graduate student.
Zhang Fulan: "..."
Did she really take the college entrance examination three times but never get into college?
Zhang Fuyan looked at the stone house and saw Zhou Chenglei grabbing a chicken in the yard and swiping the chicken's neck with a kitchen knife in his hand.
Her neck felt inexplicably cold!
Oh my god, a man with a restrained momentum, a woman who seems gentle and harmless but is actually secretive, is this small farmhouse a crouching tiger, hidden dragon?
Seeing Zhou Chenglei killing chickens, Zhou's mother went out to help.
She had already prepared lunch. She knew that her son and daughter-in-law would be back today, but she didn’t know whether they would come back at night or at noon. She went to the pier in the morning and bought some squid and mud fish, but she had to entertain them. There are still not enough guests.
Mother Zhou was going to see if anyone was still selling seafood at the pier, when shouts came from outside.
"There is pork for sale! There is pork for sale!..."
They are a small fishing village. Most people eat seafood on weekdays. Few people are willing to buy meat to eat, so there are very few people. Door-to-door pork sales were rare today, so Zhou's mother hurried out to buy them.
Jiang Xia also saw Zhou Chenglei killing a chicken. She asked Zhou Chenglei to kill it. It was already lunch time, so Zhang Fulan must be left to eat lunch at home. She was afraid that there would not be enough food.
Jiang Xia wanted to help cook, but she couldn't leave Zhang Fulan sitting in the hall by herself. She could only let Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's mother do the cooking.
Jiang Xia asked Zhang Fuyan again: "Do you have any German or Japanese books?"
Zhang Fuyan's eyes widened: "Do you know German and Japanese?" Jiang Xia: "No, I Just want to learn.”
Zhang Fulan breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I'll find it for you."
She was scared to death!
She, a foreign language major who vowed to be a translator, would be ashamed of herself!
At this time, Zhou Zhou ran in with a handful of wild fruits. He was startled when he saw Zhang Fulan, a little shy and at a loss.
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Zhou Zhou, this is Sister Yan."
Zhou Zhou whispered: "Sister Yan."
Then she boldly He stepped forward and put the picked wild fruits on the table: "Little aunt, sister Yan, you eat."
Zhang Furyan smiled, took one and put it in her mouth to taste it, and then said: "This is Zhou Zhou picked it? It’s delicious! My sister has never eaten it. Thank you Zhou Zhou.” Then she took out a doll and a toy airplane and said, “Thank you Zhou Zhou for inviting me to eat the fruit.” br>
Zhou Zhou saw the doll and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Zhou Zhou, take it!"
Zhou Zhou took it and whispered: "Thank you, sister Yan."
Then Jiang Xia let her play.
Zhang Fuyan asked Jiang Xia again about her experience in learning foreign languages. Because Zhang Fuyan studied foreign languages, the two of them had a lot of topics to talk about, and they kept talking until they had dinner.
It was almost three o'clock after dinner, and Jiang Xia took Zhang Fulan to the beach for more than an hour. Zhang Fuyan took many photos until she ran out of film.
Jiang Xia saw a fishing boat coming back from the pier, and took her to the pier to buy her a lot of seafood. Then she brought the seafood sent by Jiang Xia, dried golden pomfret, dried shrimps and two Zhou Musha Good chickens and ducks, a basket of sea duck eggs, and a snakeskin bag of vegetables and fruits, we went home.
Jiang Xia was afraid that her car would fall into a pit again, so she and Zhou Chenglei sent her out of the village.
After that, Jiang Xia went home and Zhou Chenglei went to the dock.
Father Zhou went to sea with Zhou Chengxin today, and he went to help move the goods.
When Jiang Xia returned home, she sorted out the gifts brought by Zhang Fulan and the three big bags of things given by Jiang’s mother.
She first sorted out Zhang Fulan's things and took out a notebook to register them.
The things Zhang Fuyan brought included a bag and a set of clothes. These two items were obviously given to her. They were all famous brands and a bit expensive.
There are also two cans of milk powder, two cans of malted milk, two cans of Maotai liquor, a box of Dahongpao tea, two large Qianmen cigarettes, biscuits, a large bag of candies, and Zhou Zhou is playing Dolls and toy airplanes.
Jiang Xia opened a white rabbit candy, fed it to Zhou Zhou, and ate one herself.
Tian Caihua happened to walk in at this time and saw the toy airplane in Zhou Zhou’s hand, and his eyes lit up: "Xiao Xia, did you buy this toy airplane for Guang Zong Yaozu and the others? Oh, you are such a good little aunt! I will I know you love them!"
She stepped forward and snatched the toy airplane from Zhou Zhou's hand. This toy airplane was more majestic than the toy train owned by Uncle Qiang's grandson!
The younger son saw that Uncle Qiang’s grandson had a toy train, and he pestered her to buy it every day. However, those toy trains and toy cars were too expensive, and they could only be sold in the city. How could she afford it? ?
Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment and lowered his head.
