Chapter 1267 Preparing for the Translation Certificate Exam
I must say, it feels really good to be cared for by my daughter-in-law: "First Snow, when are you planning to go to the army?"
Chu Xue looked down at her stomach: "I was originally planning to go home to the affiliated hospital tomorrow morning, but I thought I should find something to do to pass the time. So I thought I'd go to Xinhua Bookstore tomorrow to see if I can take a translation exam and then continue translating materials. That way I can pass the time and earn some money for household expenses."
She's a modern elite, and she doesn't want to be someone who has to rely on others for power.
Upon hearing Chu Xue's words, Fu's mother's eyes lit up instantly: "Take the translation exam?"
Chu Xue laughed: "Yes, if it really comes true, I can have an income at home without having to go to the office, and the hours are flexible, which is quite suitable for me now that I am pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Fu's mother was overjoyed: "Then Mom will go with you."
Chu Xue didn't answer directly, but smiled gently: "Mom, aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
When Fu's mother thought about the meeting she had to attend at the Municipal Women's Federation the next day, she slapped her forehead and said, "Now that you mention it, I really can't go. I have to attend a meeting at the Municipal Women's Federation tomorrow, and I really can't ask for leave."
Mother Fu originally wanted Chuxue to come home for dinner that night, but considering the nature of her second son's wife, who might even come over that night, she gave up on the idea.
Fearing that Chuxue couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil, he insisted on making her a bowl of stir-fried noodles before leaving, despite her objections, and then gave her a few words of advice before departing.
Looking at the stir-fried noodles her mother-in-law had made, and thinking about how her mother-in-law had protected her today, a smile appeared on her face.
To Fu's mother's surprise, even after she finished dinner and cleaned up the dishes, her second son's family still didn't come over to talk about work.
On the other hand, it wasn't that Hao Yanhong didn't want to come, but Fu Yanwei warned her: knowing that something is pointless, she still went and made people dislike her, so they might as well just break up.
Hao Yanhong was afraid that Fu Yanwei would really dump her, so she calmed down.
The day after the first snow, I got up early, steamed and ate the bird's nest that my mother-in-law had soaked the day before, and then went out.
Upon arriving at Xinhua Bookstore, I went directly to the manager and asked, "Comrade, I'd like to ask if you need any translators?"
The man frowned slightly upon hearing her question: "You understand foreign languages?"
Chu Xue smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Yes, fluent in English and German."
The man seemed quite confident as he read her answer: "We do need translators here, but do you have a translator's certificate?"
Chu Xue wasn't nervous at all: "My main purpose in coming here today is to inquire about taking the translation certificate exam."
The man wasn't angry: "Are you sure you want to take the exam?"
First Snow nodded: "Yes."
The reason for asking this question is that in addition to obtaining a letter of introduction from the local street office or workplace, you also need to pay an application fee. If you fail the exam, the application fee will be wasted.
Her answer was resolute: "You're lucky, you have an exam tomorrow morning. However, the registration deadline is 11 a.m. today. If you don't hurry, you might have to wait for the next exam."
Chu Xue quickly replied, "Excuse me, what documents do I need to prepare for registration?"
The man glanced at his watch and said, "A letter of introduction from your registered residence street or workplace, two one-inch red-background passport photos, and three yuan for the application fee."
Currently, translation qualifications are mostly obtained through internal assessments within organizations or targeted examinations by specific institutions, rather than through public examinations open to the general public.
She had planned to obtain a translation certificate through the steel rolling mill's internal assessment, but the factory office said that there was only one opportunity to take the exam each year, in December.
She dared not delay any longer. Fortunately, after the Xiao family moved to the city, she transferred her household registration to the Xiao family's household register. After the marriage, Fu Yancheng directly transferred her household registration to the house she lives in now.
The photo she took when she applied for her work permit at the factory should still be usable. The photo is stored in my online space and can be used directly. The most important thing now is to get the letter of introduction.
When luck comes, it's unstoppable. When she returned to the street office where her household registration was located, she happened to run into Fang Ruyu, the mother of Sun Guohua, a comrade-in-arms whom Fu Yancheng had taken her to visit before. Fang Ruyu was the one who helped them rent out the three-courtyard house. She worked in Houhai Street and happened to be passing by today when she ran into her.
