Looking at the smile on his face, Lin Qiyue thought, "It's so good to have faith."

After more than half an hour, they arrived in the city. After getting off the bus, Lin Qiyue excitedly said, "Didn't you say there would be delicious food? Can you take me to buy some first?"

All she could think about was that nothing was wrong, and she shook Lan Yuchu, urging him to go buy her some food.

Lan Yuchu smiled indulgently and said, "Alright, alright, I'll take you to have lunch now."

"I don't want to eat yet. I want to eat what you mentioned, it's okay." She had just eaten breakfast not long ago, how could she possibly eat lunch?

Lan Yuchu then said, "Then we can only go when we have lunch, and then we can walk around a bit more before having lunch."

"Didn't you say you'd be done buying them soon?" Lin Qiyue asked, puzzled.

"It's okay, it will definitely happen, trust me."

Lin Qiyue was skeptical, but ultimately chose to believe Lan Yuchu.

Walking with him on the street, the city streets really reflected the local customs of that time.

Apart from shopping malls, there are no other tall buildings here.

Compared to Pingcheng, the tallest building is only about ten stories high. Apart from some hotels and guesthouses, the shopping mall is the tallest.

Lin Qiyue passed by a newspaper office with a sign advertising translated books, priced according to word count.

She suddenly couldn't walk, and Lan Yuchu turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

As I asked, I followed her gaze and saw a newspaper office.

Lin Qiyue's eyes gleamed as she said to Lan Yuchu, "Shall we go in and ask?"

Before Lan Yuchu could react, Lin Qiyue went straight in.

"Hello, I'd like to ask if you are still looking for a translator?" She was a foreign language major who went through several rounds of interviews before finally passing the interview, but she died suddenly from being too happy.

"Sure, but we're hiring temporary staff, not permanent employees. However, we pay by word count."

When she saw someone come to inquire about translation work, the female employee immediately stood up to explain.

Lin Qiyue then asked, "How was the settlement made?"

"For English, it's ten yuan per thousand words, one hundred yuan for ten thousand words, and one thousand yuan for one hundred thousand words. For German, it's fifteen yuan per thousand words."

Lin Qiyue's eyes flashed quickly, then she said excitedly, "I want to ask, is there a time limit for the translation, or roughly when is it needed? Or should I translate it here?"

The staff member smiled and said, "You can take it back to translate, or you can translate it here. As soon as possible, but there's no specific timeframe, because we have a lot of books to translate, so the sooner the better."

To put it bluntly, we're short-staffed.

Nowadays, most people have their own jobs, and very few people know foreign languages. After all, those who do know foreign languages ​​are assigned to remote areas.

"I plan to translate German. Are there any requirements?" Lin Qiyue asked again.

The staff member quickly replied, "Sure, I'll translate a passage for you. It needs to be translated into Chinese, and then into German."

Soon, the staff asked Lin Qiyue to sit down. She went to find a piece of paper and a pen, and then got another piece of paper.

The words on this paper were probably used frequently to test people.

They've all turned yellow, and the edges are rotten.

Lin Qiyue quickly and efficiently translated the text according to the requirements.

"Good handwriting, and very fast." The girl looked at the handwriting and agreed with satisfaction.

They asked Lin Qiyue to choose the books that needed to be translated, and also gave her a lot of paper, a bottle of ink, and two pencils.

Fountain pens are too expensive, so naturally we don't have those.

"Our newspaper's phone number is on it. If it's inconvenient to bring it over after you've written it down, you can call us."

The girl then spoke to Lin Qiyue.

"Okay, thank you." Lin Qiyue picked up a bag and went back.

Lan Yuchu was very curious. When she saw her writing earlier, she didn't need to think at all; she could translate it directly with just a glance.

It's easy to see that she's quick-witted.

"Wife, you speak a foreign language?" Lan Yuchu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, I can. When I was in Pingcheng, I met a foreigner who was traveling from abroad. He taught me a foreign language, and I taught him Chinese."

Without thinking, she said she knew, and after realizing what she had said, she immediately continued to explain.

After all, the original owner only had a high school education, and it was already quite impressive that she knew a few words of English. How could she possibly know other languages?

Lan Yuchu stroked Lin Qiyue's head and said with surprise, "It seems my little wife knows a lot of things."

“That’s right. I work in a factory, and I don’t need to work overtime. I get off work at 5:30 every day. After I finish the housework, I read books.” Lin Qiyue felt that she had gone too far. “I read them secretly. Sister Liu is in finance, and she knows a lot of things. I learned everything from her.”

Thinking about how there was nothing in my room, how could I possibly read a book?

Lan Yuchu had initially been suspicious, as Pingcheng's family didn't have those books for her to read, but after hearing what she said, she believed it.

Lin Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief!

One must not be arrogant, or one will easily be suspected.

The two arrived at the mall, strolled around for a while, and then got a little tired, and it was time to eat.

We went to a state-run restaurant for a meal.

Lin Qiyue ordered a local specialty with high expectations, but it wasn't tasty at all, while Lan Yuchu loved it.

After a quick meal, we went back to the mall and bought some needles, thread, and fabric to take home.

I also bought some candy and pastries, since you can't invite people over for dinner without preparing anything.

Lin Qiyue went to buy a fountain pen, some toiletries, and a pair of shoes, and then went home.

She was exhausted after a one-hour journey home.

Xicheng is quite large; it takes Lin Qiyue more than twenty minutes to get from the supply and marketing cooperative to the bus stop.

After arriving at the station, there is still a long way to go.

Lin Qiyue felt very weak. She had to walk a long way to get to any of the places she wanted to go, which was really tiring.

"Finally home! I'm so tired!" Lin Qiyue put her things down and sat down on the sofa.

The living conditions in Pingcheng are much better than here, and it's very close to the city.

When Lan Yu returned home on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he turned on the fan for her and put her things in a small corner.

Take the meat and vegetables you bought to the kitchen.

"Honey, I feel so tired, I don't want to cook anymore, what should I do?" Lin Qiyue felt her laziness acting up again.

Lan Yuchu said, "It's okay, I can do it. When they arrive, you can help me in the kitchen."

I came out of the kitchen and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was still early to make dinner; it was only a little past one o'clock.

Lan Yuchu bent down and opened the refrigerator, a smile appearing on her lips.

Lin Qiyue looked over and saw a large watermelon.

"Honey, is it watermelon?" she asked, a little unsure. "Yeah, you like to eat it with a spoon when we're at home, so I bought two this morning when I went grocery shopping."

He took out a small one, put it on the table, went into the kitchen to get a fruit knife to cut it open, and then got two metal spoons.

"I'm so happy, I can eat iced watermelon~" One bite and I feel refreshed.
