Chapter 53 Translation Fee 80
Jiang Cheng successfully got tomorrow's meal and left the machinery factory contentedly.
At the entrance of the machinery factory, Principal Wang and Manager Guo deliberately took a longer detour just to ensure Jiang Cheng's safe return to the courtyard.
On the way, Manager Guo asked curiously, "Comrade Jiang, how long have you been learning foreign languages?"
"Well, it's been a while. Let me calculate."
After hearing this, Manager Guo nodded in agreement and said, "I can tell from your level that you have been studying for quite some time."
"One month and eight days."
The two spoke at the same time, and Manager Guo subconsciously looked at Jiang Cheng without looking at the road.
"careful!"
Jiang Cheng pulled the handlebars of Manager Guo's bicycle, and Manager Guo put one foot on the ground. Although the bicycle tilted a little, fortunately he did not fall down.
There was a black electric pole in front of me, with a patch of white paint on it. I almost hit it.
"Are you okay?"
Principal Wang hurried over with a flashlight.
"Luckily the car is fine. It's very expensive. It would have been a pain if it was damaged."
Manager Guo, who had already stood firm, didn't know who to complain about first.
"Of course I did. Not only did I damage my car, but I also had to pay for the electric pole."
After Jiang Cheng said something, Principal Wang suddenly realized, "How come you're so right! The tires are also terrible!"
Manager Guo rolled his eyes several times in the dark, but unfortunately no one saw it.
“You two, can’t you see that I’m a living person here? By the way, I’m fine!!”
One on the left and one on the right, Jiang Cheng and Principal Wang, who were bending over to look at the bicycles, raised their heads in unison, speaking in a matter-of-fact and righteous tone.
"I know you're okay!"
"I only cared about the bike because I knew you were okay."
Manager Guo was so angry at the old man and the young man that he laughed.
"My bicycle is worth it just because of you two!"
Jiang Cheng and Principal Wang laughed and helped Manager Guo push the cart to the middle of the road.
"You just said you studied for a month and eight days?"
Jiang Cheng, who was about to get on his bike, responded, "Yes! If it's past twelve o'clock, it will be one month and nine days."
After she finished speaking, she stepped on the pedal with one foot, pedaled twice, stepped back with her hind legs, sat firmly on the seat, stepped on the pedal with both feet, and started off.
The words "one month and eight days" kept replaying in Manager Guo's mind.
Is this possible? ?
"Let's go. If you don't go home it will be dawn soon."
Principal Wang pushed the cart over and continued, "Don't think of Jiang Cheng with normal thinking. She is a natural genius!"
Principal Wang suddenly felt that these four words were tailor-made for Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng arrived home safely. After thanking Principal Wang and Manager Guo, the two left.
Every household in the courtyard was asleep, only the Shen family had dim lights on.
With a creak, the door of the Shen family opened.
Grandma Shen held a kerosene lamp to illuminate the small world. The moment she saw Jiang Cheng, her worried face finally relaxed.
"Why are you so late today?"
Jiang Cheng pushed the cart over, and Grandma Shen put a wooden board on the steps.
Jiang Cheng pushed the cart into the house and whispered, "I was delayed at the machinery factory for a while, but I got a big job."
The two entered the house one after the other, and Grandma Shen put away the wooden board and closed the door.
Shen Xing and Shen Yue were already asleep. Jiang Cheng took a look and quietly left.
As a result, I saw a small pile of melon seeds on the table in the main room, and a note next to it.
It was written crookedly: Sister, from Yueyuebao.
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and smiled silently, then picked up the melon seeds and started eating.
Just then, Grandma Shen came over quietly with a bowl of thick rice porridge, a salted duck egg, and a plate of garlic eggplant.
Jiang Cheng was about to take it, but was stopped by Grandma Shen's eyes, and she said in a low voice: "I can still carry this little thing."
"That's right, my grandma Shen is still strong and healthy!"
Jiang Cheng started to eat supper, and Grandma Shen sat beside him.
An old man and a young man shared what happened during the day with each other, which was quite gossipy and warm. When they were almost done eating, Grandma Shen said, “We don’t have to eat fine grains all the time. You should go to the black market less often. It’s not safe to be alone.”
Jiang Cheng actually only went to the black market once.
The rice she eats now comes from her space.
"I see. I don't go there often."
Jiang Cheng agreed and continued, "Don't be reluctant to eat. I made 80 yuan from the book I translated yesterday, and I got a big job at the machinery factory today. Although they haven't told me how much it is, it's definitely not a small amount. We can afford it!"
Grandma Shen reminded: "That wasn't blown by the strong wind!"
"Also, don't tell others about your money-making. Talk less. Making thirty or forty a month is great. If you make more, people will be jealous."
"Don't think that everything in this compound looks good now. It's because everyone lives a similar life!"
"If one pops up, things will happen one after another!"
Grandma Shen imparted her life experience very seriously, and Jiang Cheng listened very carefully.
! .
"I'll just tell you, no one else will."
Grandma Shen thought for a moment and said, “That’s right, it’s good enough that you don’t fool others!”
"You always recognize me. I get proud easily."
Grandma Shen said speechlessly: "You can pull it off! Do you need others to recognize your pride?"
Jiang Cheng smiled faintly.
"But you are not someone else!"
This sentence made Grandma Shen happy and embarrassed.
"Eat quickly! Stop talking!"
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and continued eating.
After eating, Jiang Cheng pushed Grandma Shen to let her rest. After she washed the dishes, she simply washed herself.
I didn't read or study today, and it was already eleven o'clock when I went to bed.
The next morning, Jiang Cheng was awakened by his biological clock and read a book and did some boxing in the house.
It was almost time to come out and have breakfast with Shen Xing and Shen Yue.
As soon as Shen Yue saw Jiang Cheng, she became as happy as a little swallow, chirping around her and sharing her experiences at school.
"Sister, did you eat the melon seeds I peeled?"
"Of course I ate it! It was very fragrant and delicious."
Jiang Cheng responded in an exaggerated manner, and Shen Yue's eyes disappeared from laughing. She actively expressed herself and said, "Then I will peel it for you today!"
"good!"
"I'll call my brother to peel it for you!"
"OK!"
The two of them completely ignored Shen Xing, who was doing the hard work passively, and made a beautiful agreement.
Shen Xing is no longer upset. Just get used to it.
After breakfast, Jiang Cheng, Shen Xing and Shen Yue walked out of the courtyard together.
"Shen Xing, has anyone been giving you trouble recently?"
Shen Xing shook his head.
"No, after that beating, Zhu Pengcheng not only behaved himself, but also did good things! He was like a completely different person!"
"That's good."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng took out four pieces of White Rabbit milk candies.
"Two dollars per person."
Shen Xing and Shen Yue no longer considered Jiang Cheng an outsider and readily accepted the task.
The three of them said goodbye. Jiang Cheng watched the two kids for a few seconds before riding his bike towards the machinery factory.
By coincidence, He Dan came out of the courtyard and saw Jiang Cheng's back.
He Dan frowned.
Why is Jiang Cheng riding over there?
Isn't the scrap yard in that direction?
