Chapter 180 Upgrade + Huge Translation Fee

Due to the nature of the work, spring planting has begun, and Su Mo spends more time in the experimental field. She doesn't have to go to the office every day, just go back once or twice a week.

Even other cadres who sit in the office have to go to the countryside at this time, participate in labor appropriately, check the progress of cultivation in each team, coordinate the use of agricultural machinery, and guide production. On

May 1st, Monday, Su Mo arrived at the office early. There is a regular meeting on Monday, and everyone has to come unless there is a special situation.

At the beginning of the meeting, Fu Ming praised Su Mo, saying that her research on greenhouse vegetable cultivation was recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, and her research report was written in a very rigorous and standardized manner, which won unanimous praise from the leaders of various counties.

After research by the county committee, it was decided to promote Su Mo by one level, from level 28 to level 27, and her salary was also increased from 27.5 yuan to 30 yuan, and other welfare benefits were also increased as appropriate.

Su Mo was very happy. She was promoted by one level after working for 4 months, which showed that she was doing a good job.

She estimated that after she finished the new variety cultivation project, she could promote a few new varieties that were easy to survive and had high yields, and maybe she could be promoted again.

At lunch, Su Mo specially ordered two meat dishes to celebrate for herself.

While eating, Su Mo saw several female employees from the post office looking at her from time to time with strange eyes.

Su Mo thought that her clothes were not properly worn or something, and she checked but found nothing wrong. She asked the people next to her, but no one said there was something on their face.

After dinner, Su Mo went over to ask.

"Comrade Su, the post office has a large remittance slip for you, you can go and get it later." A female comrade cleared up Su Mo's confusion.

The commune was so small that everyone knew each other even if they had never spoken.

Su Mo was also a little famous in the post office because there were often letters and remittance slips, and they also knew that Su Mo submitted articles to the newspaper.

I didn't expect that the newspaper would remit so much money this time, and I don't know what was written on it.

Su Mo guessed that it was the payment for the translation. She estimated that it might be only one or two hundred yuan, but it was indeed a large remittance.

When Su Mo went to the post office and saw the remittance slip, she was also stunned.

There was 745 yuan!!

No wonder people looked at her strangely, in this place of the commune, it was two or three years' salary for others.

It turned out that the heroines in the novels who made money by translating were actually true!

Along with the remittance slip, there was also a letter. Su Mo quickly collected the remittance and took the letter back to the office to read it.

It turned out that after reading Su Mo's translation, the editors of the newspaper unanimously agreed that her translation was excellent, and finally gave her an extremely high translation fee of 4 yuan per thousand words.

Su Mo couldn't help but sigh that Haishi Newspaper was really a conscientious newspaper, and did not deduct her translation fee at all.

However, whether to continue the translation in the future depends on the response after it is published. If the response is good, the editor will send the rest of the manuscript to Su Mo for translation.

In the afternoon, the news that Su Mo received so much royalties spread.

Even Lu Xiaolan, when she was not busy, secretly came to the office to ask Su Mo.

"Third sister-in-law, did you really receive more than 700 yuan in royalties?"

Su Mo nodded, "It's not royalties, it's translation fees. I translated some books for the newspaper."

"Third sister-in-law, you are amazing." Lu Xiaolan praised. This is her salary for more than two years.

She used to think that studying was useless, but now it seems that it is still very useful. Now, the opportunity has come and she can make a lot of money in one go.

Now, she wants to pick up her books and study hard again.

"Third sister-in-law, are the salaries for translators so high?"

"Not really, it's mainly because there are too few people in our country who know how to translate, so this is a little higher." Su Mo said.

During this period of time, Lu Xiaolan didn't know whether she had figured it out or had a plan in her mind, she seemed cheerful again.

"How is it, did your mother-in-law agree with your less payment?" Su Mo asked.

"At first she didn't agree, but later she agreed when she saw me asking her son for money." Lu Xiaolan said.

She now completely understands that people should be nicer to themselves.

She bought a lot of things for herself in the past two months, and she was in a really good mood. Eat when you should, spend when you should, why save money.

When Lu Xiaolan was about to leave, Su Mo asked her to save a few pounds of cakes, and then take them back to share with the Lu family.

The fact that she took so much royalties has spread throughout the commune, and it is estimated that the Lujia Village Brigade will know soon, so buy some things in advance and share them with everyone. When you are free, buy some meat and go to the elders for a meal.

In the afternoon, each brigade came to discuss and report the production progress. The officers of each brigade were still fighting fiercely for the tractor.

The land that a tractor can turn in a day is more than that turned by a dozen strong men. It would save a lot of trouble if the tractor stayed in their brigade for one more day.

While other brigades were fighting, Lu Qingan and Lu Baoguo were watching the show.

It's good that this brigade has a tractor!

In previous years, they were also among those who were fighting fiercely.

In the evening, when the Yang family was having dinner, Yang Jingming talked about Su Mo's promotion.

Fang Chunfang said, "You see, this is the benefit of having someone above you. She has only been working for four months and has been promoted. I think she will have to be promoted again by the end of the year."

Her son has been working for several years, and he has only been promoted three times in total.

Lu Xiaolan immediately retorted, "This is also because my third sister-in-law has achieved results. She did a research without spending a penny, but she made money. Didn't Jingming just say that the report she wrote was praised by all the county leaders."

Fang Chunfang curled her lips, "This county party secretary is already an uncle. If he says it's good, how dare others say it's not good?"

"This county party secretary is not a one-man show. Secretary Geng is a good official who is honest and upright. He will not do such a thing of abusing his power for

personal gain." Fang Chunfang was choked by Lu Xiaolan, but she didn't dare to say anything bad about Geng Changqing. After all, whether her son can be promoted in the future depends on her.

But this daughter-in-law seems to be possessed by evil recently, and she is increasingly ignoring her mother-in-law.

Is it because she feels that her mother's family has a backer and is more confident?
