Song Shuxi and Mo Ying have a tacit understanding between them. As soon as it comes in, she knows what's going on.
After a quick look, I found nothing shameful, so I continued to finish the unfinished part.
When the people from the institute came in, they saw a pregnant woman sitting at the table, painting with a paintbrush in her hand.
Wei Jianguo invited him to sit on the sofa and made a cup of tea.
"Comrade Zhou, please wait a moment, my wife will be here soon."
"It's okay. I didn't expect Comrade Song is also good at painting." The visitor is a researcher himself and is very familiar with the situation where one cannot get out of the state for a while. He himself often experiences this.
Seeing Song Shuqian like this, he didn't feel neglected at all.
While drinking water, he looked around the room. The house is very cozy and there are traces of life everywhere. You can tell that the hostess is a person who loves life very much.
He was attracted by the photos on the wall. There were more than a dozen photos in the glass frames, and in the middle was a banner with the words "Concern for the Country and Serve the Public" written on it. After taking a look at the issuing unit, he finally understood why Song Shuxi dared to paint openly at home.
All around them are photos of the couple. From the photos, we can see that they have a very good relationship and are sweet everywhere. It also reveals good economic conditions.
Who can take so many photos after one year of marriage? It’s such a waste.
Just as I was watching in a trance, Song Shuqian came over.
She was wearing a pair of black pants and a camel-colored sweater, and even though it was loose, her bulging belly was still visible. She is very beautiful, the kind of beautiful that is very dignified and elegant, giving off the feeling of a classical beauty.
Realizing his own gaffe, he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
On the other side, Wei Jianguo had already helped Song Shuxi over and introduced them.
"Hello, Comrade Zhou, I'm Song Shuxi, sorry to have kept you waiting, let's sit down and chat." Following Song Shuxi came Lightning and Moying. The presence of two adult dogs gave them a strong sense of oppression.
I could see that Comrade Zhou was feeling uncomfortable. Wei Jianguo glanced at the two dogs and said, "Go lie down in your kennel for a while."
The two dogs felt threatened by Wei Jianguo, turned around and ran away.
Comrade Zhou was amazed at what he saw. He had just thought that Captain Wei was very gentle and polite in his dealings with others.
Now, he takes it back.
"Hello, Comrade Song, I am Zhou Hao from the Weaponry Research Institute. I came here this time to invite you to work as a translator at the Weaponry Research Institute."
Song Shuqian helped him get a refill of tea before saying, "Captain Zhang has told me the details, and I am also willing to contribute to the construction of the motherland. But as you can see from my situation, I may not be able to go back and forth to work. After the child is born, I will need at least a year to take care of the child."
Zhou Hao's expression was very calm, he already knew the details of Song Shuqian's situation.
"We have already discussed this situation in a meeting. We will send someone to deliver the materials that need to be translated. You can translate them at home. However, you need to go to the institute to take a test."
"Of course. Are there any requirements for the amount of translation?"
Song Shuqian was worried that she would not be able to complete the work after agreeing. That would be bad for both her and the institute.
"There will be requirements. After the test, we will know your ability and then determine the workload."
Song Shuqian had no objection to this. If she can't do it, she can only refuse reluctantly.
Both parties agreed and quickly made an appointment to go for the test tomorrow.
"Comrade Zhou, take care. I'll see you off," Wei Jianguo supported Song Shuxi all the way to the door.
"Comrade Song, please stay. The road is slippery. I can walk by myself." Zhou Hao didn't dare let a pregnant woman carry him with her belly bulging, as it would be dangerous if she slipped.
"Then let Wei Jianguo see you off for me."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Wei Jianguo escorted the person out of the family compound. This is the rule of the family compound. You are responsible for the people you bring in.
Song Shuxi is very confident about tomorrow's test. She has been staying at home all winter and it is difficult for her to even go out for a walk. She is so bored that she can only read books. She has read a lot of Baohulu's foreign books. I think it’s no problem to translate ordinary content.
For highly professional matters, you will need the help of a dictionary.
After sending the person off, Wei Jianguo trotted back and went straight into the kitchen.
The most important thing in the world is eating.
Looking at this situation, he must have forgotten to eat.
"Wife, what do you want to eat?"
"Have a bowl of hot dumpling soup and some pickled cucumbers."
"Okay."
Wei Jianguo cooks very quickly and finishes the meal in no time.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Wei Jianguo drove to the family compound early to pick up Song Shuxi.
This was Song Shuxi's first time here. She never knew that there was a research institute near the army.
After inspection, the two came in smoothly.
It was Comrade Zhou who received them yesterday.
"Comrade Song, please come this way. Today's test is divided into a written test and an oral test. I will take you to the written test first."
As he was talking, he brought Song Shuxi to a room where two middle-aged men in their forties were sitting, one with a bookish air and the other with a solemn look of a soldier.
Both of them are action-oriented. They handed Song Shuxi a stack of papers and said, "Please translate these contents as quickly as possible."
Song Shuqian was not in a hurry to translate. She just flipped through it briefly. There were three documents, one was about foreign news, one was about machinery, and the other was too professional with many words she didn't recognize.
After reading it, Song Shuxi started translating. She wrote very quickly without stopping.
Until I got to that very professional document, I translated what I could and then handed it to them. Said, "This document contains many professional terms that I don't recognize. I have marked them out when translating."
The other party was very satisfied, not impatient or anxious, and the accuracy rate was very high. The first two translations were already qualified.
The third one was meant to be more difficult, and she performed very well.
Next was the oral test. Song Shuxi’s oral test was not as good as her written test, but it was already very good among ordinary people.
The next step is to discuss the work content and remuneration.
The translation workload for her each month was determined. "This is Comrade Zhang. He will be your only contact person from now on. He will bring you the content that needs to be translated, and please hand over the translated content to him as well."
Both parties agreed that this would be the way of working for the time being.
There will be changes discussed later.
Song Shuxi was very happy when she got home. She was now a salaried person, earning 53 yuan a month. Although it was not much, it was earned through her labor.
"Jianguo, I have a job."
"Yes, you have a job now. My wife is awesome." Wei Jianguo was also happy for Song Shuqian. His wife had been staying at home alone all the time, which was a waste of her talent.
Wei Jianguo took his wife's work ID and various certification documents to see his superior for registration. Translation is very sensitive these days, and it would be too late to take them out once something goes wrong.
His wife is weak and his child is young, so they can't stand the hardship.
Show it to your leader and you will have found a clear way forward.
