Around nine o'clock, Su Miantang and Jiang Yang finally arrived near the newspaper office after taking a long-distance bus.
After getting off the car, the two walked to the door of the newspaper office.
Su Miantang had a work permit as a specially hired translator and could enter the newspaper office, but Jiang Yang did not have the relevant documents and could not go in with him.
"Wife, I'll be waiting for you outside. After you submit the manuscript, come and see me." Jiang Yang said, pointing to the steps outside the newspaper office.
"Well, Ayang, wait for me. I will come out after I settle the royalties." Su Miantang nodded in response, then turned and walked into the newspaper office.
Jiang Yang watched Su Miantang's back disappear into the newspaper office, then walked to the steps and sat down, quietly waiting for her return.
Time passed minute by minute. Jiang Yang sat on the steps, his eyes occasionally looking towards the gate of the newspaper office.
He was a little worried about his wife, wondering if everything was going well for her in there.
Finally, about half an hour later, Su Miantang walked out of the newspaper office.
Seeing Jiang Yang still waiting for her on the steps, a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Ayang!"
Su Miantang shouted and walked quickly to Jiang Yang.
"Wife, how's it going? Did you submit the manuscript smoothly?"
Jiang Yang asked with concern.
"Well, it went very smoothly. Besides, the payment this time was quite good!"
Su Miantang showed joy as she showed him a thick stack of royalties. At the same time, she also held in her hand a batch of newly received translation manuscripts that needed to be translated.
“My wife is awesome!”
Jiang Yang was not stingy with his praise and felt extremely proud. Of course, when he saw the manuscript in his wife's hand, he reached out and took it in his hand.
"Let's go back to my mother's house. I want to get some clay pots."
The weight in Su Miantang's hand disappeared, and she reached out to hold her husband's arm, her behavior natural and intimate.
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Yang didn't ask why, he just listened to his wife.
At the same time, he felt invisible pressure. His wife was good at making money, and he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, falling far behind his wife.
On the second-floor windowsill, a pair of eyes followed the figures until they disappeared from view, and then they withdrew their gaze...
Because they were going to her mother's house, the couple took a bus to the next town and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the next town to buy some gifts. Unexpectedly, they were lucky enough to buy two pounds of pork fat without a ticket, which was a little expensive.
With this, Su Miantang didn't buy anything else. When the time comes, she can just add a packet of brown sugar when her husband isn't paying attention.
In this day and age, this gift is enough no matter where you go.
More than half an hour later——
Xiahe Village, in front of the Su family’s house.
It was just the time to get off work, and the villagers were going home one after another.
The old couple of the Su family were also like this. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person in the village saw a man and a woman standing at the door of the Su family. He pointed at them and said in surprise:
"Ge Qin, look, those standing at your door are your daughter and son-in-law, right?"
“Oh, it’s true!”
"Tangtang~"
"Mom~"
"Son-in-law~"
"Mom~"
"Oh my! Why did you bring anything with you? Really, you're so polite even at home. Don't you two need money to live?"
When Ge Qin approached and saw what her son-in-law was holding, she felt sweet in her heart, but her tone was slightly reproachful when she spoke, but the joy on her face could not be faked.
"Ahem, come inside and talk."
Father Su signaled to his wife that there were many neighbors watching around, so it was almost done.
"Oh, I was so happy that I forgot to eat."
Ge Qin received a wave of envious glances and thought that her son-in-law made her proud, so she had to treat him well at noon.
After the family entered the house, they closed the door to isolate themselves from the envious gazes of outsiders.
"Mom, I received my royalties today. This is the first time I've made money from writing, so I really wanted to buy something for you and Dad to show my appreciation."
Su Miantang explained with a smile, joy glittering in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I know you're filial, come in and sit down, don't stand at the door.
By the way, you and your son-in-law can have lunch at home at noon. I will go and prepare it."
Ge Qin warmly invited them to stay for dinner.
"Okay, thanks, Mom.
However, I came here for another thing. I want to buy a few pottery jars from the villagers so that I can cook and store things."
Su Miantang took the opportunity to express his needs without hiding anything, and directly said that he wanted special treatment.
"Why are you buying anything? It's a waste of money. After dinner, I'll ask your dad to move a few out of the cellar. We still have plenty at home."
Ge Qin answered her daughter without hesitation. The pottery jars were not valuable and were troublesome to buy. It would be better to give a few to her daughter.
"Okay then, I'll follow Mom's instructions."
Su Miantang nodded obediently, feeling very warm in her heart.
Jiang Yang felt the same way. His father-in-law treated him very well. He asked him what he was doing recently and learned that he was working as a temporary worker in the food factory in their town. He did not discriminate against him at all. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him to do a good job.
And while waiting for lunch, his father-in-law told him a lot of details about how to behave in society.
No one has ever told these things to his brothers since his father passed away.
He listened with great interest, had some ideas in mind, and benefited greatly.
Ge Qin peeked out of the kitchen window and took a look. One was willing to teach, the other was willing to learn. The picture of the father-in-law and son-in-law getting along quite harmoniously.
It seems that she chose the right son-in-law!
"Sizzle~"
The chopped pork fat made a noise in the pan, and she turned it over and over with a spatula.
The aroma of meat, oil and the smell of smoke filled the kitchen.
Su Miantang was sent to her room for a nap. Although she rarely went home, her mother always cleaned her room, so a simple nap was completely fine there...
I counted the royalties and this time I was paid thirty-three yuan, and I took on another batch of expedited manuscripts.
I can complete four manuscript translations in a month, and I can earn more than 30 yuan each time, so four times will earn me 120 to 130 yuan.
She only needs to work for a month, and then find an excuse that her elder brother helped her get a bicycle ticket. When the time comes, she has the money and the ticket, so buying a bicycle will be a natural thing!
After putting the money into the space, Su Miantang lay down contentedly, his head against the pillow, drowsy.
It was not until an hour later that she woke up slowly when her dear husband called her to get up and have lunch.
Originally, if Ge Qinguang cooked lunch, it would be done very quickly, in just half an hour.
But she made lard, which took a little longer.
The dishes for lunch include leeks and eggs, fried pork lard with chili peppers, braised beans with lard, and stir-fried shredded gourd.
There is also a loofah soup.
Four dishes and one soup, a very high standard of hospitality.
Father Su said it was a pity that there was no wine, otherwise he could have a good drink with his son-in-law with good wine and delicious food.
Su Miantang remained silent. She had some wine, but she couldn't take it out yet.
Next month, wait for next month, I will definitely send some wine to my dad!
