Chapter 77: Best at Finding Gossip

The next morning.

When Song Youyou woke up, she looked at the empty space on the other side of the bed and remembered that Gu Xiao had returned to the military camp last night.

After washing up and going downstairs, I saw Mr. Gu pushing Mrs. Gu out.

Seeing her coming down, Mrs. Gu said gently, "Youyou, I'm going to accompany your grandfather for morning exercises. I've saved breakfast for you. Go and eat it quickly. Your grandfather has cooked sweet potato porridge and eggs."

"Okay." Song Youyou smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu have always had a good relationship. Even though Mrs. Gu has difficulty walking now, Mr. Gu usually takes her with him when he goes for morning exercises, playing chess, fishing, etc.

The same goes for Mrs. Gu. Not only would she ask Mr. Gu to go shopping, but she would also share with him any gossip she heard.

Their retirement life is rich and happy.

Song Youyou didn't have much appetite, so she ate a few bites of breakfast and went upstairs to her room.

Then I sat down at the desk and finished translating the rest of the manuscript.

She sat there for the whole morning, and when she finished writing and put down her pen, it was almost noon.

Song Youyou folded the translated materials neatly and put them into her bag before going downstairs to prepare lunch.

Because she has to go out in the afternoon and may not be able to come back in the evening to cook for the elderly at home, so she plans to make dumplings as the staple food, so that she can make more and save them for them for dinner.

It just so happened that she still had a lot of leeks left from the tube building, which could be used to make leek and pork dumplings.

After wrapping the dumplings, she put a portion into the pot and boiled them. She then skillfully made a few side dishes to go with the dumplings.

The meat dish is braised pork, which is cooked directly with the braised sauce on the jar meat.

I also made two vegetarian dishes, one is shredded potatoes with vinegar, and the other is smashed cucumber.

After lunch, she put on her backpack and went out, heading straight to Xinhua Bookstore.

"Hmm~ Not bad~"

Mr. Lin was pleased to see that she had translated another batch of information so quickly.

Hand the envelope containing the last manuscript fee to Song Youyou.

Thinking of the many things that happened recently, Mr. Lin couldn't help but said to Song Youyou:

"Little Xiaozhi, please hurry up and accumulate the number of words you can translate so I can help you apply for the title of senior translator."

Although Song Youyou's foreign language knowledge has reached the level of a senior translator.

But from a system perspective, you still need to accumulate a certain number of words before you can move up.

The next level up from senior translators is special translators, and once you become a special translator, you can access confidential translation content.

"Alas, the country is in a period of recovery and needs professional talent."

Old Lin sighed and spoke with deep emotion.

Song Youyou looked at this old man who was concerned about his country and his people, and admired him in her heart, nodding in agreement:

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean."

Mr. Lin smiled with relief, then used the key to open the innermost cabinet and took out two file bags.

"Well, please translate these two documents this time."

Song Youyou raised her eyebrows.

Based on her translation experience in her previous life, foreign language materials packed in file bags were the work of senior translators.

Most of the content is about foreign machinery and politics, some of which are not open to the public.

But this is not something she should consider. She will just translate whatever Mr. Lin gives her.

"Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible."

After carefully putting the document bag into her bag, Song Youyou opened the door and went out.

Before he had taken a few steps outside, he was hurriedly pulled away by Ruan Qian, who was waiting for him nearby.

"Youyou, I asked Song Baozhu for some news!"

So fast?

It’s only been two days since I last signed the IOU.

"Tell me about it."

Song Youyou was mysteriously pulled to a corner by her, so she found a chair in the corner and sat down.

Compared to her indifference, Ruan Qian was much more excited and blurted out all the information she had found out.

Even after Song Baozhu's death in the He family, the conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not spared.

In short, they talk about everything, big or small.
