Chapter 8 Professional Match
Mother Lin was listening with great interest when a young wife beside her suddenly spoke up, "Aunt, you came at the right time. Captain Chu can finally have a hot meal. He is usually so busy, and he just needs someone to take care of him. After all, he is a married man... Lan Mei'er is still so young."
What he said sounded reasonable, but in fact he was blaming Lin Anan.
After all! It is the wife's job to take care of the man, how can it be the mother-in-law's turn?
Mother Lin glanced at her and saw that she raised her chin slightly with a bit of pride on her face. She was dressed decently, so she thought she had some confidence in what she said.
Mother Lin lowered her eyes, feeling a little unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. "Yes, you are right, my daughter is not in good health. But she is already being treated, and Mingzhou took her to see a specialist as soon as possible.
I can only help them and I can't stay for a few days. When she gets better, she will definitely live a prosperous life. I will let her learn more from you, my sister-in-law. There are not many children as capable and virtuous as you. I like people like you. "
In one sentence, the young wife's mouth was shut. She couldn't reply, and she couldn't not reply either...
Mother Lin didn't want to play chess with her, so she said goodbye with a smile.
"I've almost finished buying the vegetables, so I'll take Xiaolan back home first. Come over to my house and play when you have time!"
Chu Minglan lowered her head, tightened the peanut candy that Lin's mother had just bought, and quickly followed.
When the two got home, Lin Anan was sitting by the fire and chatting with Chu Mingzhou.
After that experience in the hospital, the relationship between the two of them became inexplicably closer, at least they could talk to each other.
The look in Chu Mingzhou's eyes when he looked at her was no longer so distant, but had a little more warmth and patience.
At this time, the issue of Lin Zihuai coming to the Northwest Military Region to serve as a soldier was being discussed.
Lin Anan continued to raise requests, testing Chu Mingzhou's bottom line little by little.
But the progress was minimal and this guy was a bit stubborn.
No matter what she said, Chu Mingzhou barely even raised his eyelids and didn't react at all...
"This matter is indeed quite temporary. I asked my brother to come to the northwest to join the army. It happened to be the end of the year, and there were still three quotas in Sucheng. Few people were willing to come at this time, so I let him squeeze in."
Chu Mingzhou frowned and hummed softly again.
"It's good to come here. After all, with you as his brother-in-law watching over him, he will have a better sense of progress."
When Lin Anan called him brother-in-law, Chu Mingzhou finally reacted. He looked up at her and refused in all seriousness: "I can't help him, and I won't give him any special care."
Lin Anan waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, I know that the Northwest Military Region is the largest military region in China, and it is also the most stringent and difficult military region. He can come here, which means he has made full plans."
Mother Lin listened to the last conversation between the two of them, and her mouth twitched...
I know my own son very well, and he has no plans at all.
When it was confirmed that he was selected... he was still crying and begging for help!
Lin's mother was afraid that he would end up being a deserter and not only be punished but would probably have to go to jail.
"An An is right. The fact that Zi Huai can come here shows that he is aware of the situation. He will endure it no matter how hard it is. With Ming Zhou as a role model to encourage him, he will definitely make progress!"
These words were said by Lin's mother, and Chu Mingzhou couldn't refute them. He stood up and nodded.
"Mingzhou, please sit down. You've been working hard all afternoon. Are you hungry? Drink some water and I'll cook for you right away."
Lin's mother's attitude towards Chu Mingzhou is the same as Lin Anan's, kind and warm. It's not fake, but sincere.
As the old saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.
This is probably how Lin's mother feels about Chu Mingzhou.
Chu Mingzhou is a naturally cold person and he can't say anything nice. People who are not familiar with him are usually a little afraid of him.
But Lin's mother could feel that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She was very sure that he was definitely a good boy.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Chu Mingzhou's sudden thanks made Lin's mother pause as she picked up the cup. "It's not hard at all. As long as you like to eat it, I'll be very happy! Tell me what you like to eat and I'll make it for you."
After hearing what Mother Lin said, Chu Mingzhou's expression softened a little and he nodded in agreement.
Before Lin's mother could finish her words, there was a knock on the door.
It was almost midnight, when every household was about to start cooking. Anyone who came to the door at this time must have an urgent matter.
Chu Mingzhou went straight to open the door.
The person who came was Captain Xu, who had met the mother and daughter of the Lin family today.
This time, it was not just Captain Xu who came alone. There was also a young man wearing glasses following behind him.
"Mingzhou, this is Chen Huamao, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency."
"This is my battalion commander Chu Mingzhou."
Reporter Chen stepped forward politely to shake hands. "I'm really sorry! The mountain was blocked by heavy snow yesterday, and all trains were urgently stopped, which delayed the trip and caused Comrade Chu to make a wasted trip."
"You're welcome. It's not a big deal."
Chu Mingzhou led the people to the main hall.
When Lin's mother saw that two guests had arrived, especially at this time... she decided to have dinner at home.
The rice needs to be cooked more, and two more dishes need to be added.
When Captain Xu saw Lin's mother standing at the kitchen door, he slowed down his pace, took out a few tickets and money from his trouser pocket and handed them over, "Big sister, we came here in a hurry and didn't bring any food. We have to share the meal with you tonight. It's really troublesome."
Mother Lin waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, I just bought too much food. It's just a meal, you're welcome."
Captain Xu insisted on giving it.
In the end, it was Chu Mingzhou who asked her to accept it. Lin's mother took it nervously and tried her best to make a good meal.
Lin's mother didn't understand other things, but she knew that the regiment commander was stronger than the battalion commander, and he was her son-in-law's immediate superior, so she had to treat him well!
Lin Anan was the only one in the main hall. She was leaning lazily just now, but now she was sitting properly, with her small body straight and her hands on her thighs. She looked very well-behaved.
Captain Xu nodded at her and sat down opposite her.
After Lin Anan and the others were seated, he stood up politely and made up an excuse to go back to his room.
She certainly wouldn't interrupt them while they were talking about business.
Lin Anan had just walked to the door when she vaguely heard people inside talking about something like translation, language, and urgent manuscripts.
translate?
Lin Anan is proficient in six languages: English, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.
When it comes to foreign languages, it’s a professional match.
If Chu Mingzhou needed help, she would be willing to do him a favor.
But thinking back, he was in the military, and even if there was a need, the organization would definitely assign someone, so there would be no need for her to use such unconventional methods.
Lin Anan pursed her lips, didn't think much, and walked back to her room.
After being busy with various examinations for a whole afternoon, she was indeed a little tired and wanted to take a short rest to relax.
In the hall.
Captain Xu looked solemn, "Mingzhou, you have to be mentally prepared. I know you have been waiting for this opportunity for two years.
But now the comrades from Xinhua News Agency are still in the intensive care unit and cannot complete their work. The English translation was taken over by reporter Xiao Chen, but this Japanese translation..."
He was talking about a report on the Northwest Army Special Operations Battalion, which had to be accurately sent abroad. Its importance was immeasurable and there could not be any mistakes, as it was directly related to China's reputation.
If the skills are not up to par, not only will we fail to promote the glory of Chinese soldiers, but we may also end up making things worse.
But right now... the arrow is on the string and must be shot!
Where can I find a Japanese translator in such a short time?
Reporter Chen was also worried. "We do have other Japanese translators at Xinhua News Agency headquarters, but it's definitely too late for them to come from Kyoto in time. If it was just text translation, it would be fine, but this has to be recorded orally, which requires a very high level of oral skills."
Chu Mingzhou frowned, feeling angry!
He knew very well that it was impossible to find anyone in the Northwest Military Region. Everyone wanted to eat the Japanese alive when they mentioned them. Who would want to learn Japanese?
"I'll go look for it in the nearby city tomorrow."
Captain Xu sighed deeply, "Okay, don't worry too much. If it doesn't work this time, we can try for next year."
Chu Mingzhou clenched his fist, feeling unwilling...
As the commander of the special operations battalion, he knew best how hard it was to come by this opportunity. There were so many military regions in China, and the chances of getting to the Northwest Military Region were few and far between.
