Chapter 376 Designated
After dinner, Lin's mother took out a red cloth bag from the box and opened it carefully. Inside were several small pieces of clothing with fine stitching and exquisite workmanship.
"This is what mom made for the baby. An'an, you keep it." She handed the clothes to Lin An'an, her eyes full of kindness.
Lin Anan gently stroked the soft fabric, her nose sour: "Mom, you've worked hard."
Chu Mingzhou was afraid that she would get upset, so he hurried over, took the clothes and praised her, "Mom, you have great craftsmanship. When the baby is born, I will definitely ask you to make a few more sets for me."
"Okay, okay, Mom is willing to do it."
Knowing that Lin Anan's current situation was special, Lin's mother did not dare to say anything sentimental. "You guys should go and rest quickly. Mom also needs to sleep. Stay alert so that you can take the train tomorrow."
Lin Anan was very reluctant, but she nodded, "Okay, then Mom, have a good rest, and tomorrow... have a safe journey."
The departure time tomorrow is early, and Chu Mingzhou doesn't let Lin Anan go to see him off. Lin's mother also tells him not to see him off because he will be back soon anyway.
"Ah, Aah."
Mother Lin reached out and hugged her daughter, kissed her face, and all her words were melted into the hug.
The next morning, when it was still light, Chu Mingzhou got out of bed quietly.
He tucked in the quilt for Lin Anan, and when he left the house, he saw Lin's mother sitting in the main room with a bulging bundle in front of her.
"Mom, I'll take you to the train station."
Chu Mingzhou picked up the bag and stood up with Lin's mother.
Mother Lin nodded and said, "Let's go."
The two walked into the yard. The cold wind blew up the dead leaves on the ground. Mother Lin stopped and took a deep look at the room where Lin Anan was. "Women's temperaments tend to change during pregnancy. Mingzhou, you should be more considerate of Anan."
"I will."
On the station platform, the train whistle blew long.
Before getting in the car, Lin's mother looked back at Chu Mingzhou and said, "Mingzhou, take good care of An An for me."
Chu Mingzhou nodded solemnly and watched the train slowly start until the familiar figure disappeared in the morning mist.
When I got home, Lin Anan was already awake.
She didn't seem to be in any way out of the ordinary and actually started working on her new job.
"Are you back?"
"Well, mom has already sent me to the car. I'll change my clothes and go to the group."
Lin Anan didn't even raise her head and hummed lightly, "I don't understand Sister Xiumei's matter either. Remember to ask her when it's convenient for you."
"good."
After changing into military uniform, Chu Mingzhou walked to the desk and looked at Lin Anan working at the desk.
Her hair was hanging down a little messily. She was looking at the document in front of her intently, holding a pen in her right hand and writing on the paper.
"Don't sit for too long. Remember to get up and move around." Chu Mingzhou leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "If you're tired, take a rest. There's no rush for work."
Lin Anan then raised her head and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I know, you go and do your own thing. I have an urgent manuscript to translate. It's for Commander Zheng to use, so I can't be careless." As she spoke, she pointed to the notebook at hand, which was filled with dense handwriting.
Chu Mingzhou pinched her face distressedly, "Okay."
After he left, the room fell into a brief silence.
Lin Anan was busy all day and finally finished translating the last paragraph.
I was rushing to submit the manuscript to the army, but was stopped again. "Translator Lin, there is an urgent task! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will come to the military region to discuss international exchange matters tomorrow morning. Commander Zheng has specifically asked you to go."
Lin Anan subconsciously touched her slightly bulging belly. Being six months pregnant made it increasingly difficult for her to move, but she could not refuse her duty and sense of mission as a soldier. "Please tell Commander Zheng that I promise to complete the mission."
"Okay, this exchange involves the latest grain varieties from military farms, so it can be considered a cooperative consultation. Here is the agenda sent in advance by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Please study the professional terms thoroughly."
"ah?"
Lin Anan was confused. How could he study all the professional terms of agricultural grains thoroughly in just one night?
I didn't dare to be careless, so I had to accept the information and prepare to go back immediately.
Mr. Tan frowned, and after the people left, he asked, "Are you sure you can do it? If you are in trouble, I will arrange for someone else to take over."
Chief of Staff Fang frowned even more than Elder Tan, "I'm afraid that's not possible... The one coming tomorrow is a Southern European country, and it will be Lin, the translator appointed by Commander Zheng."
Everyone understood.
This is a forced move, and we have to do it no matter how hard we try.
Not only do translators need to master proficient translation skills, but they also need to be extremely fluent in spoken English and have adaptability.
Lin Anan didn't think it was too difficult and gave everyone a reassuring smile, "No problem, I'll go back first. I have to hurry up and check the agenda."
Seeing that she was very confident, Mr. Tan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do your best."
"yes."
Lin Anan saluted and turned to leave the Intelligence Analysis Department.
When I got home, night had already enveloped the entire city.
Lin Anan didn't have time to eat dinner. She spread out the documents on the desk. Densely packed handwriting floated in the halo of the desk lamp.
Agricultural terms are different from military vocabulary. Drought-resistant wheat, soil moisture conditions, mechanized sowing... these unfamiliar professional terms made her temples throb.
Chu Mingzhou pushed the door open and saw his young wife biting the pen and frowning at the documents. He called her to eat but she didn't respond.
"An An, eat first."
Lin Anan then raised her head and scratched her hair, "Here it comes."
After eating, he just took a few bites and went back into the house.
Late at night, Lin Anan's notebook was full of notes. She rubbed her swollen temples, making sure that nothing was missed before getting on the kang.
Chu Mingzhou leaned on the kang and read some information until she came over. Then he put down the information and hugged her in his arms.
"Mingzhou, I'm so tired, I need a hug."
Chu Mingzhou swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and hugged the man tighter, "Go to sleep quickly."
"Okay~" Lin Anan smacked his chin and snuggled into his arms, "Good night."
"Well, good night."
The cold wind in December was as sharp as a knife, and the withered and yellow wheat stubble stood stubbornly on the frozen soil.
The black sedan of the Southern European delegation rolled over the icy ruts and slowly drove into the military farm.
Lin Anan, dressed in military uniform, followed Commander Zheng to the showroom.
"These are samples of 7125 and 702 wheat." Commander Zheng pushed open the heavy wooden door. In the glass display case, two bunches of golden wheat ears shone brightly under the incandescent light. "The yield per mu is 820 kilograms. The protein content is 4% higher than that of ordinary varieties. The most important thing is--"
He picked up a grain of wheat and said proudly: "It is completely self-cultivated and can be saved for seeds every year."
Lin Anan spoke fluently and translated the entire thing word for word.
Wearing white gloves, the agricultural expert from southern Europe carefully took the wheat ear, his pupils suddenly contracted under the magnifying glass: "To achieve this indicator in a semi-arid area... is simply a miracle!"
The accompanying business representatives exchanged glances and took notes in their notebooks with their pens.
Lin Anan keenly caught the greed in the other person's eyes and lowered her eyes slightly.
It would be a lie to say that I'm not angry. In the past, Chinese people did not have their own high-quality grain varieties. Once they chose to import them, not only were the prices high, but all of them were seeds that could not be saved.
This is the initial trade war of other countries, and also a multi-faceted control of China.
Fortunately, the Chinese people are striving for excellence and with their unremitting efforts, crops have blossomed in various places, producing a variety of high-quality grain varieties with high per-acre yields.
The wheat in the northwest is a miracle that sprouts in dry land. It is currently considered a top-grade grain in the world.
Today's negotiations are possible because of such excellent grain varieties.
When they sold us grain seeds, they held their chins high.
Now they want to buy our grain seeds, but they still want to hold their chins high...
