During the Spring Festival, Su Jin thought about what Lu Shiyi said and translated things for her superiors. The translation fee was quite high. She only translated a medical book and was given nearly 4,000 yuan.
In 1970, you could buy a courtyard house in the capital for a few hundred yuan, and a courtyard house with three entrances for a few thousand yuan.
"Ayi, when the situation gets better, can you please have someone keep an eye on the courtyard?" Su Jin asked Lu Shiyi in a low voice.
"My family has the deed to a siheyuan, which can easily cause trouble now. I will buy a suitable siheyuan when I find one." Seeing that she liked siheyuan, Lu Shiyi asked people to pay close attention to her.
He used all the allowances he had earned in the military camp over the past ten years and the dividends from his business with his childhood friends in the compound to buy the courtyard house.
"Ayi, I want to buy a courtyard house, preferably one that is closer to the campuses of Peking University and Tsinghua University." After thinking about it for a few years, Su Jin wanted to go back to university to study.
Lu Shiyi graduated from a military academy and was considered an undergraduate, but she was different. When she graduated from high school, the university was abolished and replaced by a recommendation system, forcing her to give up.
"Wife, Grandpa's house is only 7 stops away from Peking University, so it only takes half an hour by car." Lu Shiyi told Su Jin, "You can go home every day. If you don't want to live in the old house, the house I was allocated is also in the same courtyard."
Su Jin shook her head: "I bought houses in Peking University and National Tsing Hua University. Whether I live there myself or not, I can rent them out."
"I'll ask my childhood friend to keep an eye out, and we'll buy it if we find something suitable." Lu Shiyi let Su Jin do what she wanted. The family savings and his allowance were enough for her to spend.
Su Jin felt happy when she heard his agreement.
"Ayi, do you think I should take on the translation this time?" Su Jin wanted to ask Lu Shiyi's opinion.
She has more contact with people above her in the Lu family, so she needs Lu Shiyi to make decisions. If she is targeted by the military, she may lose her freedom in the future.
She had thought that when she was able to take the college entrance examination, she could study medicine and would never touch translation again. After graduation, she could shine in the hospital and then arrange for people to do business.
"Go ahead and look for them. Political Commissar Wu found grandpa and grandma. No one should touch these things, so he thought of you." Lu Shiyi had heard of the translators in the military region. Those people were top priority, and many of them were protected by the team members.
Seeing that he supported her translation work, Su Jin smiled and agreed.
"Tomorrow is the fifth day of the New Year. I'll accompany you to the office." Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi and said.
Lu Shiyi looked at his wife with heartache. Whenever she had time, Su Jin would read books, saying that she was catching up on her knowledge.
"Wife, go back and look at the document. If it doesn't work, we won't translate it." Lu Shiyi was worried that Su Jin would neglect her health while working. "This translation is close to the Chinese New Year. I can indulge you and let you live in the study for three days without worrying about your health, but I won't allow you to do that in the future."
The translators he knew were basically nine-to-five office workers. As soon as the bell rang, they would put down their work and go home.
There are not many translators who work as hard as Su Jin.
"I know how important these books are. I just want to finish the work as soon as possible so that everyone can use them as soon as possible." Su Jin leaned back, and he hugged her waist tightly. The two of them stood in front of the window and looked at the snow scene outside.
"Someone came to install a telephone in our house today. This phone is for you." Lu Shiyi whispered to Su Jin, "This is a special phone line approved by the higher-ups. You can't hide the fact that you're a translator anymore."
Su Jin was surprised: "Why not use your phone line?"
"There are many of your files that cannot be disclosed to others. The office line I use is recorded 24 hours a day, and there may be leaks." Lu Shiyi explained.
Now we have to be careful everywhere to avoid being overheard and bribed by hostile people.
"This phone line is only known to the upper echelons of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No one will record it, and the number won't be easily accessible to anyone outside." Lu Shiyi whispered to Su Jin, "And don't tell me that we'll have a phone line at home in the future."
Su Jin nodded: "Ayi, I will accompany you to and from get off work. Unless it is an urgent translation, I will not work overtime on other documents."
After getting the guarantee, Lu Shiyi let Su Jin take the job as soon as possible.
At this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military were sitting in the conference room and began to discuss Su Jin's matter. It was just a translation document for the assessment that made them very excited.
The chapter on radiation sickness in the book is very short, and it is indeed the first one translated word for word in China.
They asked foreign doctors in China to look at this translation and received continuous praise from them, which was in stark contrast to the previous complaints.
Therefore, they valued Su Jin even more, and the military top brass even arranged for Lu Shiyi to closely protect Su Jin.
"Everyone knows the importance of these books. After Comrade Su Jin translates them, they will most likely be closely watched by the Americans and the Americans. The US Prime Minister has been keeping an eye on this book." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed at the books.
GA has dealt with many traitors, some of whom are in high positions. If it weren't for Su Jin's appearance, they might have been taken to the command center.
"Everyone around Comrade Su Jin and Captain Lu needs to be investigated. If we run into another insider, Comrade Su Jin's safety will be in jeopardy." The GA's deputy director said in a low voice, "A good translator can translate various documents, just like a Northwest Naxi expert."
The three parties discussed together and decided that Liu Chuchang would take the books and documents back personally, and these books and documents could no longer be handed over to others.
"I heard that Comrade Su Jin is a good doctor." The tiger bone wine and various medicinal wines that Su Jin gave to Mr. Lu were used by all the senior military officials present.
Their status made it easy for them to get medicinal wine, and after trying them all, they found that Su Jin's medicinal wine was the best.
"Yes, Teacher Su's medical skills have been recognized by all the chief physicians in the General Hospital. I heard from Lu Tuan that Teacher Su hopes to have the opportunity to study Western medicine. Because Teacher Su's public identity is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he has been teaching Teacher Su Chinese medicine since she was young."
As soon as the words fell, anticipation rose in the eyes of several people. Most of these documents and books were related to radiation sickness.
The situation in the northwest is somewhat serious, so the General Hospital has selected capable personnel to train doctors for the experts in the northwest.
"When you take the books and documents back today, please remember to arrange for someone to enter the farm, preferably to protect the family of three," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested.
"Lu Bu is the leader of the Divine Sword. He can protect his wife and children." The military promised.
Several old men negotiated together, hoping to reach a consensus as soon as possible. When they discovered Su Jin, a talent, the military hoped that Su Jin could live in a base in the northwest, where the security measures were the most stringent.
Mr. Lu and those people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs objected. They said that the security there was the tightest, but in reality the place where they lived was the most desolate. Once you walked out of the camp, it was all desolate.
