Chapter 87 Knowledge is Wealth

Jiang Xia listened to Zhang Fuyan's words and guessed that she wanted to ask him for help because he knew French. This girl was very enthusiastic, which reminded Jiang Xia of her best friend in her previous life. So he said, "I will help you if I can, but you don't need to spend so much money. These things are too expensive and I can't accept them. I don't know if I can help you."

Zhang Fuyan smiled and said, "I am just borrowing flowers to pay tribute to Buddha. My grandmother has so many of these things at home that we can't finish them. She asked me to take them, and I didn't spend a penny."

After Zhang Fuyan put her things down, she went to the back seat of the car and brought back a few French books.

"My aunt works in a publishing house. These foreign books are urgently in need of translation and publication. She asked me to help, but there are too many books and I can't handle it alone. I wanted to ask if you have time to work with me?"

Isn't it that someone just sent you a pillow when you were sleepy? Jiang Xia took a look and saw that there were three thick books. She had read the translation in her previous life. She said directly, "This is you helping me, not me helping you. I'm looking for a part-time job as a translator."

Of course Zhang Fuyan knew that she wanted to find a translation job, so she came to find her specially. Of course, her aunt also really needed a translator.

She picked up the three thick books and said, "My aunt paid me 100 yuan for each of the three thicker books, and 50 yuan for each of the four thinner books. I will also give you this price. What do you think?"

This was the price her aunt gave her. It would definitely not be that high if she gave it to anyone else. She specially brought a few more books to share with Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia didn't know how much it cost to translate it now. It wasn't that thick actually. She felt that the price was definitely not low, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I can finish translating it for you in about a month."

Zhang Fuyan was surprised. There were seven books here, three of which were quite thick. How could they be translated in a month? She said hurriedly, "Don't worry. You can just translate one book in half a month. When you finish translating a book, send it to the publisher and you can get the money first."

Jiang Xia: "Then I'll translate a book first and bring it to you in a couple of days to see how you think of it."

"OK."

Zhou's mother glanced at the books and silently raised her finger: One book is one hundred, three books are three hundred, two fifty is one hundred, two books are one hundred, four books are two hundred, then the total is five hundred yuan? Xiao Xia can finish translating in a month. If there are books translated every month, then can't she make five hundred yuan every month?

My goodness, she usually earns one dollar a day weaving fish nets, and at most about thirty dollars a month.

Knowledge is wealth, it is indeed true!

Jiang Xia then asked, "Do you have any other foreign books that need to be translated? I also know English and Russian."

Jiang Xia didn't dare to say too much. She only spoke up when she saw English and Russian books on the original owner's bookshelf.

When I go to university and take elective courses, I can use the six foreign languages ​​I learned in my previous life, and try to learn a few more in this life.

She has a strong talent for languages, which is a gift from God. So she has always taken foreign language courses during her four years of college and graduate studies.

Since it’s free to take classes at university, why not take more? After paying off her debts, she no longer has to work so many jobs and can take classes whenever she has time.

Foreign languages ​​can be learned while working, walking, taking the bus, or even taking a shower, so she learned the most. She acquired four foreign languages ​​in four years of undergraduate study and two more in graduate school.

Zhang Fuyan: “…”

Did she really fail the college entrance examination three times? Zhang Fuyan looked around the stone house and saw Zhou Chenglei holding a chicken in the yard and wiping the chicken's neck with a kitchen knife.

Her neck suddenly felt cold! Oh my god, a man with a reserved aura, a woman who seemed gentle and harmless but was actually very hidden, is there a hidden dragon in this farmyard? Seeing Zhou Chenglei killing a chicken, Zhou's mother went out to help.

She had already prepared lunch. She knew her son and daughter-in-law would be back today, but she didn't know whether they would come back in the evening or at noon. She went to the dock in the morning to buy some clams and mud fish, but it was still not enough to entertain the guests.

Zhou's mother was about to go see if there was anyone still selling seafood at the dock when she heard shouting outside.

"We have pork for sale! We have pork for sale!"

They were from a small fishing village, and most people usually ate seafood. Few people were willing to buy meat, so few people came to sell pork. Today was a rare day, so Zhou's mother hurried out to buy some.

Jiang Xia also saw Zhou Chenglei killing a chicken. She was the one who asked Zhou Chenglei to do it. It was already time for lunch, and Zhang Fuyan must be allowed to stay at home for lunch because she was afraid that there would not be enough food.

Jiang Xia wanted to help with cooking, but he couldn't leave Zhang Fuyan sitting alone in the living room, so he had to let Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's mother do it.

Jiang Xia asked Zhang Fuyan again: "Do you have any German or Japanese books?"

Zhang Fuyan's eyes widened: "You also know German and Japanese?"

Jiang Xia: "No, I just want to learn."

Zhang Fuyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I'll find it for you."

She was scared to death!

She is a student of foreign language department and she vowed to be a translator. She will feel ashamed! At this time, Zhou Zhou ran in with a bunch of wild fruits. When he saw Zhang Fuyan, he was stunned for a moment and was a little shy and at a loss.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Zhou Zhou, this is Sister Yan."

Zhou Zhou called out softly, "Sister Yan."

Then she boldly stepped forward and put the wild fruits she had picked on the table: "Aunt, Sister Yan, you guys eat."

Zhang Fuyan smiled and took one and put it in her mouth to taste it, then said: "Did Zhou Zhou pick this? It's delicious! I haven't eaten it before, thank you Zhou Zhou."

Then she took out a doll and a toy airplane and said, "Thank you Zhou Zhou for treating me to some fruit."

When Zhou Zhou saw the doll, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Zhou Zhou, take it!"

Zhou Zhou took it and whispered, "Thank you, Sister Yan."

Then Jiang Xia let her go and play.

Zhang Fuyan also asked Jiang Xia about his experience in learning foreign languages. Since Zhang Fuyan was studying foreign languages ​​herself, the two of them had a lot to talk about and kept chatting until dinner.

After dinner, it was almost three o'clock, and Jiang Xia took Zhang Fuyan to the beach for more than an hour. Zhang Fuyan took many photos until she ran out of film.

Jiang Xia saw a fishing boat returning to the dock, so he took her to the dock and bought her a lot of seafood. Then she went home with the seafood Jiang Xia gave her, including dried golden pomfret, dried shrimp, two chickens and ducks killed by Zhou's mother, a basket of sea duck eggs, and a snakeskin bag of vegetables and fruits.

Jiang Xia was afraid that her car would fall into the pit again, so he and Zhou Chenglei escorted her out of the village.

After that, Jiang Xia went home and Zhou Chenglei went to the dock.

Father Zhou went out to sea with Zhou Chengxin today, and he went to help move the goods.

As soon as Jiang Xia returned home, he sorted out the gifts brought by Zhang Fuyan and the three big bags of things given by Jiang's mother.

She first sorted out Zhang Fuyan's things and took out a notebook to make a record.

Zhang Fuyan brought a bag and a set of clothes. These two items were obviously for her. They were both famous brands and quite expensive.

There were also two cans of milk powder, two cans of malted milk, two cans of Moutai liquor, a box of Dahongpao tea, two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, biscuits, a large bag of canned candy, and the doll and toy airplane that Zhou Zhou was playing with.

Jiang Xia opened a piece of White Rabbit candy, fed it to Zhou Zhou, and ate one himself.

Tian Caihua happened to walk in at this time and her eyes lit up when she saw the toy plane in Zhou Zhou's hand: "Xiao Xia, is this toy plane bought for Guang Zongyaozu and the others? Oh, you are such a nice aunt! I know you love them!"

She walked straight up and snatched the toy plane from Zhou Zhou's hand. This toy plane was more impressive than the toy train of Uncle Qiang's grandson!

When the younger son saw that Uncle Qiang's grandson had a toy train, he pestered her to buy one every day. But those toy trains and toy cars were too expensive, and they could only be bought in the city. How could she bear to do that?

Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment and lowered his head.
