Jiangtang thought with a sense of humor that every Spring Festival, when the two families went to the father-in-law's house, would they compare with each other?

I was thinking about it, but somehow I lost my focus and said it out loud.

By the time she realized it, it was too late. She glanced at Mrs. Wu cautiously and found that she was not angry. Instead, she smiled and replied to her: "Compare, compare everything, compare the New Year gifts, compare wives, compare children.

It’s because I’m competing with Luo Fengquan from Caotou Village. Every year he insists on giving me a piece of clothing to wear, and so do my two children.”

After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she turned around and complained, "Look at my figure now. I'm almost twice as fat as other people. It's all because of Old Sun that I eat so much. He said that being fat proves that he takes good care of me and that I have a good life with him."

Jiang Tang opened her mouth, not knowing for a moment whether Mrs. Wu was angry or really didn't care.

Wu Guanghua seemed to understand Jiang Tang's meaning and said with a smile: "Although there is an element of comparison, Old Sun has been very kind to me and my family. This is enough. I don't know how many people in our village envy me.

Take Mei Zi for example. When she was a girl, she was not as plump as me. She was very skinny and had just a small face.

Before marriage, men only look at pretty faces, but after marriage, they know who is better. I have no reason to be jealous. I have given him two children. Now I am at home, in charge of the family, without parents-in-law to serve. I am very happy.

Jiang Tang, upon hearing this, was filled with admiration for Wu Guanghua. Her open-minded and optimistic attitude was the key to her ever-improving life. As for Captain Sun and Captain Luo, from what Jiang Tang had learned, it seemed they had been competing against each other since birth, perhaps even enemies in a previous life.

In the days that followed, Meng Sining spent most of her time on translation. Director Wang, mindful of the importance and difficulty of this translation assignment, specifically urged her to focus on translation and not be involved in news work for the time being. This significantly reduced her workload and eliminated the need to clock in every day.

Meng Si Ning simply moved her translation work to the first floor of her home. In her cozy home, when she tires of translating, she plays with her adorable cat or cuddles her fluffy rabbit. The rabbit is incredibly well-behaved and adorable, not resisting even when held in her arms. Meng Si Ning even made a little nest for the rabbit on her desk. Whenever she tires of translating, she reaches out to pet it. The little creature is also quite clingy, spending most of its time lying on the desk with Meng Si Ning, besides eating grass and drinking water. Ponyo, the cat, often lolls around nearby, occasionally letting out a lazy meow.

Lin has also been home these past few days, clutching a physics book he'd gotten from somewhere, playing with a cat and a rabbit while diligently reading. Sometimes he'd frown as he pondered a difficult question, and sometimes he'd burst into laughter at the cat and rabbit's adorable antics, filling the room with a warm and joyful atmosphere.

To speed up sugarcane planting, Jiang Tang came up with an ingenious plan. She used a loud speaker, stood in the center of the village, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Fellow villagers, growing sugarcane is like raising a child; we must nurture it with care. If everyone works together and carefully caress, we'll be able to harvest a harvest of large, sweet 'sugarcane babies'. By then, every household will be able to count their money until their hands cramp!"

The villagers were stunned at first, then burst into laughter. However, they were also infected by Jiang Tang's enthusiasm and quickened their pace, working even harder.

During the translation process, Meng Si Ning encountered a sentence that he couldn't translate well no matter how hard he tried. As he was racking his brains, Jiang Tang's voice appeared in the space: "Girl, help me, I can't find sugar cane!"

Hearing Jiang Tang's cry for help, he immediately entered the space: "What's going on?"

"The riverbed is quite large. Captain Sun and I roughly estimated it these days, and it's about three or four hundred acres. We asked around for sugarcane, but there's no one for sale. Secretary Zhou couldn't even remember where it was."

Meng Si Ning put down his pen and said, "There must be some in the mall. How many do you want?"

“It’s definitely expensive in space.”

Meng Si Ning did a search and found that indeed, one hundred stems with buds cost two hundred yuan.

"The smallest one has three branches, and the largest has five. I asked, and they say we need four thousand plants per acre."

"Oh my god, that's a lot. No, no, let's look at the local ones. They're definitely cheaper."

After he finished speaking, their eyes lit up and they both thought of a certain waiter.

Meng Sining gave a positive comment directly on the interface.

Sure enough, the next second, a voice appeared.

Thank you both for your kind comments.

Jiang Tang crossed his arms and laughed: "Waiter, I have a good review, and now I need you."

Jiang Tang crossed his arms and chuckled, "Waiter, I've given you a good review. Now it's your turn to make a difference."

[My dear, are you having any trouble?] The waiter's voice was still polite and enthusiastic.

"Shaluo Village is planning to plant sugarcane soon and needs a lot of sugarcane seedlings. Could you help me find some to buy?" Jiang Tang said anxiously.

[Okay.] The waiter replied, and then the sound of a system scan echoed through the space. [Ding... System scan complete, Ding... Found. There's a farm in Ershilipu, west of the city. They grow sugarcane. You can buy their sugarcane seedlings directly.]

"How many seedlings can they have? What price can they offer? The village budget is not very tight." Jiang Tang asked quickly.

"They don't have a large supply of seedlings; they can probably only provide around 700 to 800. Also, there's an old farmer ten miles east of the county who's personally cultivated some sugarcane. You can buy from him privately; the price will be cheaper." The waiter replied in detail.

Jiang Tang clapped his hands excitedly after hearing this: "Great, now we have a solution!"

After saying this, "a waiter" retreated and disappeared again.

Meng Si Ning felt that even that might not be enough: "There are vouchers in the mall every day, and I haven't used them much. Starting tomorrow, I will use the vouchers to stock up some sugarcane seedlings for you every day. We can bring them over together when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll go check out the two places the waiter mentioned tomorrow. What have you been doing lately?"

"Working as a translator at home is easy, but not too hard."

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble?"

"Well, here, help me look at this. I can't find the right words to use."

After they discussed it for a long time, Jiang Tang slapped her thigh and said, "How about we just use the 'Meng's Translation Method' and make up one based on our own understanding?" Meng Si Ning rolled his eyes at her and said, "You're trying to trick me to death!"
