Chapter 445 Teaching Textbooks

"I'll come back next weekend and bring some of the manuscript with me. If you think I'm capable, I'll continue."

If Xu Hongmei feels that she is not capable enough, she can make other plans.

Xu Hongmei nodded inaudibly, with a glint of appreciation in her eyes. She patted Lu Miao on the shoulder and said,

"Young people need to be driven and not be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are the root of growth."

Lu Miao nodded, knowing what was going on.

Translating poetry is different from translating regular book content.

Poetry not only requires accurate content, but also requires the words to have "aesthetics".

For Lu Miao, translation is the same.

It just takes a little more time to translate part of the poem and keep the text smooth and beautiful.

Lu Miao held the file bag in his hand, glanced at the two bundles of books in the frame, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Just take some time!

I have so many books. If I really take them home, I will be exhausted from carrying them around every day.

Looking at it from another perspective, the level of work is actually about the same.

Poetry can be considered as refined content. As a translation manuscript, it can better polish the basics and is a good training opportunity.

Lu Miao thought about it, and his idea became more and more determined, "I will choose this one."

Xu Hongmei nodded with satisfaction and led her through the process to issue the order.

During this time, Lu Miao thought of something and said awkwardly:

"Editor Xu, do you have any extra file bags? Could you give me a few..."

Lu Miao was extremely embarrassed.

She knew that manuscript paper was sold in the department store.

She asked several places but couldn't find any paper file bags.

The one I use today was brought from the study in Chongwenmen before I moved.

It’s also the last one in the family.

Xu Hongmei understood and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll get you some later."

After issuing the receipt for Lu Miao, Xu Hongmei went back to the office as instructed and took out a stack of paper file envelopes.

Xu Hongmei didn't count, she just picked it up casually, and unexpectedly, there were exactly ten.

"Take it back and use it first. Tell me next time you're done."

Lu Miao blushed slightly and nodded.

Xu Hongmei confirmed with Lu Miao the time to come over next weekend.

After telling Lu Miao that she would wait for her next week, Xu Hongmei waved her hand and let Lu Miao go back first.

…

During the weekends, the children at home are helped by their father.

Lu Miao combined work and rest, lying at the table in the main room reading a selection of "Leaves of Grass".

She used to be the treasure of her family.

Tang Mei knew that she was reading for work and felt very sad.

She was spoiled like an emperor, with a water cup on her left hand and flowers, fruits and snacks on her right hand.

If she wasn't afraid of disturbing her, Tang Mei would have wanted to go up and ask if she wanted to feed her.

Lu Miao was like a lazy snake, flipping through the pages.

Be open and enjoy the "care" of your aunt and the child's father with relish.

The good days only lasted three seconds. Before I finished reading two chapters of the hand-copied and bound "Leaves of Grass", there was a loud bang at the gate of the courtyard.

The child's grandfather came over.

The two little ones in the yard screamed and hugged their grandfather's thighs on both sides, howling.

Grandpa is called "Grandpa" and "Grandpa" is called "Grandpa". It has been a long time since he saw his two grandsons. Lu Yuanzheng was overjoyed when he heard them calling him.

Lu Yuanzheng bent down and picked up the two chubby and white cubs.

"Do you remember grandpa?"

Xiao Mingxia nodded softly and kissed Grandpa on the face:

"Xia Xia remembers grandpa~"

Little Mingyi followed his sister and said:

"The baby also remembers grandpa, grandpa, grandpa is so beautiful~"

After saying that, Xiao Mingyi also kissed his grandfather on the face.

Leaving a big saliva mark.

Lu Yuanzheng was not annoyed. His expression softened for a rare time and he laughed for a long time.

Dabao and Erbao were held by Lu Yuanzheng, and Zhou Shian looked particularly out of place standing in the yard.

At first, Lu Yuanzheng thought it was a neighbor's child, so he nodded kindly and didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhou Shian was also sensible. He walked forward obediently and called Lu Yuanzheng "Grandpa" just like he called Tang Mei "Grandma". He followed Dabao and Erbao and called Lu Yuanzheng "Grandpa".

Lu Yuanzheng was stunned by the shouting.

Lu Yuanzheng looked back at Fu Jingyou, and Fu Jingyou briefly explained what happened.

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, then put Dabao and Erbao down, held them evenly, picked up Zhou Shian and lifted him up, and hugged him.

After all, they are children and their actions depend on the adults.

The adults in the Fu and Lu families were all kind, so Zhou Shian was relaxed and, like most ordinary children, was amused by his new grandfather and screamed with laughter.

Lu Yuanzheng had lunch here at noon, and Tang Mei was busy making arrangements.

Lu Miao was reading in the main room. When he saw him coming, he didn't stand up and just called out "Dad" as a greeting.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at her and sat at the other end of the long table.

He waved the three children over, took out the newly bought toys and taught them how to play with them.

It is a small camera with a green plastic shell. It cannot take pictures, but by pressing the shutter button, you can switch to see different little people inside.

Most of them are characters from comic books sold outside.

Fu Jingyou poured water for his father-in-law.

The children lay beside their grandfather, talking and laughing in their childish words.

Even though the weather is getting hotter in the summer, the pictures can always make people feel a sense of tranquility and peace.

There is a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Um……

Lu Miao held his chin and breathed a sigh of relief as if he was enjoying life.

Looking at the small camera in Erbao's hand, I suddenly thought of the camera in the hands of the photographer when I first entered university.

Japanese brand, imported, not cheap.

But the shooting effect is still good.

Compared with the old-fashioned large-head photographic equipment currently commonly used in China, it is a leap in technology.

It would be nice to have one, it could record everything about family and children’s growth.

Lu Miao held his chin with one hand and tapped on the table with his index finger.

She had already closed the bound copy of Leaves of Grass and tucked it away inside the book.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at him and felt that this leaky little cotton-padded jacket of his must have been holding back his fart.

Normally, if Lu Miao knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be very unhappy, but today...

Lu Yuanzheng's intuition was correct, she just didn't hold her fart well.

"dad!"

Lu Miao spoke.

Lu Yuanzheng held Erbao and looked up at her, "What's wrong, great writer?"

Lu Miao pretended not to understand what he meant and quickly dragged a chair to sit next to him.

"Dad, I want to tell you something."

"?"

"There's a teacher in our school who's quite old. He's never been married, so he doesn't have any children."

"Then what?"

"He had a camera and said he would give it to me if I became his goddaughter."

"?"

"?"

"?"

Lu Yuanzheng, Tang Mei and Fu Jingyou all turned around.

Three neat question marks popped up.

Tang Mei was confused. She took a few steps closer and spoke suspiciously, with an unclear meaning:

"Give you a camera?"

Lu Miao nodded: "Yes, he said that I can be his goddaughter."

"You need that camera? What do you want it for?"

Lu Yuanzheng was tricked.
