Chapter 26: Just Old, Not Blind (2 / 2)



"Brother Mu Nian, my feet hurt!"

Xi Mu Nian picked her up and carried her horizontally, walking towards their room.

Meng Xue helped Mr. Xi back to the room and asked him to sit on the bed.

She advised with concern, "Uncle Xi, your heart is not in good condition, don't get angry again!"

Mr. Xi sighed, "Xuewa, I'm sorry for making you suffer!"

When Meng Xue heard this, her nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Uncle Xi, thank you for your trust!"

Master Xi smiled slightly, "Silly child..."

Old Man Xi saw that Meng Xue's eyes were moist. He was really afraid that this girl would cry, so he quickly changed the subject.

He glanced at the malted milk lying nearby.

"Why did you think of buying me malted milk? This stuff is not cheap!"

Meng Xue's lips curled slightly.

"Uncle Xi, I bought this for you with my own money. Fortunately, it's not too expensive..."

When Old Man Xi heard what Meng Xue said, he immediately became curious.

"Oh? Money you earned yourself? It's not the payment for watching the bookstore these days, is it?"

He felt that more than ten days had passed, and the owner of the bookstore should be back by now!

Meng Xue shook her head.

"No, I found a job!"

Mr. Xi frowned, “Xue Wa?

Is there a shortage of food and drink for you here?

Still wearing it?

Why are you still looking for a job?

If you want a job, let Jinghong arrange it for you.

Working in a factory will earn you more than doing odd jobs outside, right? "

When Meng Xue heard this, her heart warmed.

"Uncle Xi, listen to me. I... found a job as a translator in a newspaper!"

As she spoke, she took out a Russian book from the bag she was carrying.

"It's just translating books. It costs 20 yuan to translate one book."

Old Man Xi took the book from her and flipped through a few pages, but he couldn't understand any of the messy symbols inside!

"What is this?"

Meng Xue patiently explained to him, "This is a Russian book that tells the autobiography of a Russian biologist. It's very inspiring!"

Mr. Xi nodded and asked curiously, "Xuewa, I didn't expect you to know all this!

Your father is a big man, but I didn't expect that the daughter he raised is so knowledgeable and talented!

I can even understand foreign books!"

Meng Xue smiled slightly. She didn't expect that there would be such a benefit after being reborn.

"Uncle Xi, I have loved reading since I was a kid. No matter what book I read, I can learn it very quickly!"

Old Master Xi felt very relieved when he thought of Meng Xue's serious look at reading.

"Why did you suddenly want to work at a newspaper?"

Meng Xue explained with a smile, "I accidentally saw a recruitment notice for translators in a newspaper in a bookstore, so I thought about giving it a try.

I didn’t expect that I would be hired!

Moreover, this job not only satisfies my desire to read, but also allows me to earn money.

Don’t you think this is the best of both worlds?”

When Mr. Xi heard what Meng Xue said, he chuckled.

“Yes, it is really the best of both worlds.

I wonder in which newspaper the article you translated was published?

I'll buy a newspaper and read it later!"

Meng Xue had never thought about this question.

She just wanted to make money.

I don’t care where the articles she translated are published!

"Uncle Xi, if you want to see it.

I went back to ask the editor-in-chief to let me keep a copy of the newspaper for myself.

This way you don’t have to buy it!”

Mr. Xi nodded.

“That’s fine too!”
