Chapter 155 Phone Call
Someone saw Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei and ran over to ask them.
Zhou Chenglei didn't like to respond to these words. He kept saying "hmm hmm" while pulling Jiang Xia towards the dock.
Jiang Xia was better. In response to everyone's congratulations and inquiries, he would say "thank you" with a smile, reply with a sentence or two, and finally said "the boat is back! We are going to help, we'll leave first" before getting away.
Fortunately, their boat is back!
But suddenly, someone shouted to Jiang Xia from behind: "Jiang Xia, there's a call for you. The other party left a phone number for you to call back!"
Jiang Xia turned around and responded: "Okay, thank you!"
Zhou Chenglei said, "You go answer the phone, I'll go help Big Brother."
"Okay." Jiang Xia responded and walked towards the production team.
Jiang Xia walked into the production team's office hall. The person sitting next to the phone saw Jiang Xia coming in and smiled, "You've received a lot of calls this afternoon. I've already received two. The other party left a number for you to call back, saying that they want you to be an interpreter. I've written the phone number on this piece of paper."
Jiang Xia took it, said thank you with a smile, then picked up the phone and dialed the first number back.
The first call came from the textile factory, asking Jiang Xia if he could speak English. They needed an interpreter, and then Jiang Xia made an appointment to meet with the other party the day after tomorrow.
The second call came from the food factory, and they said similar things. Jiang Xia also made an appointment to meet with the other party the day after tomorrow.
The reason for the meeting was that the other party needed to see her foreign language level, and Jiang Xia also needed to understand their products.
She doesn't fight a battle without preparation. Since she is going to do it, she wants to do her best. Otherwise, she doesn't want salary, but only commission. If she doesn't do some homework, it may really be in vain.
Jiang Xia hung up the phone and was about to leave when the phone rang again. Someone from the production team picked it up and called out to Jiang Xia, who was about to leave: "Xiao Xia, your phone is ringing!"
Jiang Xia went back to answer the phone again. This time it was the machinery factory calling. Jiang Xia left the other party's phone number and also made an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow.
The production team member waited for Jiang Xia to hang up the phone, then asked with a smile, "Xiao Xia, are all the calls today asking you to be the translator?"
Jiang Xia smiled and replied, "Well, there may be more in the next two days. Please notify me when you receive my call."
"It's okay, it's my duty! Your English must be very good, so many people ask you to translate!"
Jiang Xia: "I can only listen and speak, which is not that great. I still have to go to the dock to take a look. I'm leaving now. Sorry to bother you!"
After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he took the piece of paper with the phone number on it and left.
After Jiang Xia left, Zhou Li kept silent about the string of phone numbers that Jiang Xia had just written down.
She happened to answer both calls that came in today, because the other party said they wanted Jiang Xia to be their translator and asked Jiang Xia to call back, so she took it into consideration and copied down an extra copy of the two numbers.
She decided to give the three numbers to Guohua after get off work and ask him to give them to Wen Wan to see if there was any chance to find another translation job.
Anyway, with so many people asking Jiang Xia to translate, Jiang Xia can’t do it alone.
Before I knew it, I didn't have to wait until after get off work, Zhou Guohua came and brought a bag of candy to her: "Aunt, Xiaowan and I got our marriage certificate today, you can share this candy with everyone."
That’s right, Zhou Li is Zhou Guohua’s aunt.
Zhou Li cried out in joy and stood up: "Oh, you got the marriage certificate already? Let's have a wedding banquet and try to have a big fat boy next year!"
Zhou Guohua blushed and said, "Not so fast. Xiaowan still has to take the college entrance examination. There's no rush."
"That's true. There's no rush. Going to college is also important. Once Wen Wan passes the entrance exam, we'll have a college student in our family in the future!"
Didn't Zhou Chengsen have the opportunity to transfer to the town and become a leader just because he attended the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? Don't say that studying is not important. Without some education, it's hard for you to get promoted! Then Zhou Li gave the paper to Zhou Guohua and whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhou Guohua pinched the paper and put it in his trouser pocket: "Thank you, Auntie. I'll give it to Xiaowan later."
"Why are you being polite? We are all family. Ask Xiaowan to find out as soon as possible. I don't know if there are any activities recently. From what I heard from Jiang Xia, she will receive calls soon, which proves that there should be many factories looking for translators. Go and find out and find one that Jiang Xia turned down. Don't compete with her. We are from the same village. Don't let others talk about it. OK?"
Zhou Guohua nodded when he heard it: "I understand, I will tell Xiaowan tomorrow."
***After Jiang Xia finished the call, he went to the dock. At this time, all the fish on the boat had been unloaded. Zhou Chenglei did not wait for his elder brother to sell the fish before going home. When he saw Jiang Xia coming over after finishing the call, he said something to Zhou Chengxin, then pushed his bicycle and took Jiang Xia home.
On the way, Jiang Xia asked, "Brother, how was your harvest today?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Not bad, more than usual, more than a hundred yuan. He brought us two baskets of small fish and said he would send them back to us after drying them."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "That's right. I'll give the money to you later."
"Yeah." Zhou Chenglei responded.
When the couple returned home, they saw several bags of dried fish and several large jars placed in the yard. They must be the jars she bought in town that day and had them delivered to her door.
Jiang Xia asked, "Why are you sending dried fish so early today?"
Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Yes, these are dried redwood fish. They were sent here after they were dried. I saw that they were dried well, dried enough, and the heads were removed, so I charged them 2.5 yuan per pound, for a total of 257 pounds. Some people sold the dried fish to Zhou Bingqiang's family, otherwise I could have collected more!"

At this point, Zhou's mother spoke a series of brilliant words: "That plague, other people buy dried fish, his family also buys dried fish, #@#*?%, those people are the same, they agreed to sell it to our family, but then changed their minds!..."
Jiang Xia smiled and comforted her: "Mom, it's okay. If you are unhappy, we will only accept the dried fish from the families that sent it today."
Zhou's mother felt embarrassed to scold him when she heard this: "Aren't you afraid it's not enough?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll just sell as much as we can. We won't make money that makes us unhappy! We won't accept money from them in the future!"
Zhou's mother smiled when she heard this, and her heart was as happy as if she had eaten honey: "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little unconvinced!"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "If you are not convinced, then don't accept it. We don't want to make money that makes us feel uncomfortable! We make money for fun. There is no reason to make ourselves unhappy."
Jiang Xia bought dried fish because of Zhang Fuyan's letter, otherwise she would not have bought dried fish from the villagers.
She has two principles for making money.
First, don’t be afraid of trouble when making money, and don’t make money with trouble!
Second, she won’t make any money that makes her feel uncomfortable!
Jiang Xia is not afraid of trouble in order to make money. For example, she can collect dried fish and then sort them out to sell. It is troublesome and the profit is little, but she is happy to do it.
But she doesn't make troublesome money. Some people are particularly annoying in their behavior and actions, and she doesn't make that kind of troublesome money.
Mother Zhou felt very comfortable and said with a smile, "Okay, from now on we will only accept these few families. I won't accept any others if they send them to me."
Father Zhou took a look at Jiang Xia. Wangcai is not only prosperous, but also smart!
For the next two days, Jiang Xia did not go out to sea, but instead taught He Xinghuan how to make dried fish at home. He made three flavors in total: spicy, sweet and sour, and sauce.
It was so delicious that the two families couldn’t stop eating it.
Especially the children, they said it was delicious!
Early in the morning on the third day, Zhou Chenglei borrowed a tractor and pulled a large cart of dried fish, and went into the city with Jiang Xia.
