The next morning, Zhou Ziwen got up early. After breakfast, he rode his bicycle and left home with the translated manuscript.
The morning breeze caressed his face, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the joy and anticipation in his heart.
Along the way, birds sang happily on the branches, as if playing a cheerful melody for him, and the crops in the fields swayed gently in the breeze, as if nodding to him.
Not long after, Zhou Ziwen arrived at the county bookstore.
The bookstore was filled with a faint scent of ink, and he found Li Guangwen with ease.
Li Guangwen was tidying up the bookshelf. When he saw Zhou Ziwen come in, a hint of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes.
"Ziwen, you're here!" Li Guangwen looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise.
He didn't expect Zhou Ziwen to come so soon.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and took out the translated manuscript from his bag and handed it to Li Guangwen, saying, "Uncle Li, I have translated the manuscript. Please take a look."
"So fast." Li Guangwen took the manuscript in surprise.
I immediately sat down in a chair nearby and started reviewing it impatiently.
His eyes were focused and serious as he read word by word, marking some key points on the paper from time to time.
As he read deeper, an expression of surprise and admiration gradually appeared on his face.
Li Guangwen took the manuscript, immediately sat on a chair beside him, and began to review it impatiently.
His eyes were focused and serious as he read word by word, marking some key points on the paper from time to time.
As he read deeper, an expression of surprise and admiration gradually appeared on his face.
"Ziwen, the quality of your translation this time is truly eye-opening!" Li Guangwen couldn't help but look up, his face full of admiration. "Not only is your speed fast, but your accuracy is also extremely high. The translation of some professional terms is very precise and the sentences are very smooth and natural. You are simply a translation genius!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly and said, "Uncle Li, you're too kind. I put a lot of thought into it and pondered it over and over again before I finished it."
Li Guangwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "I've always felt you had potential, but I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. You completed this translation task so well, and your superiors will surely be very satisfied. I've already strongly recommended you to them, and I'm sure you'll be given more important translation tasks in the future."
Zhou Ziwen was delighted and said, "Thank you for your trust, Uncle Li. I will definitely continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."
Li Guangwen smiled and patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder. He then took out an envelope from under the counter and handed it to Zhou Ziwen, saying, "This is my payment for this manuscript, a total of thirty yuan. Because the quality of your translation is so high, I've given you a little extra."
Zhou Ziwen took the envelope, his heart filled with gratitude, and said, "Uncle Li, thank you so much. This money is very important to me."
Li Guangwen waved his hand and said, "This is what you deserve. By the way, Ziwen, I have a more important task here. I wonder if you are interested?"
Zhou Ziwen immediately said, "Uncle Li, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely take it."
Li Guangwen pulled a thick document from a drawer and handed it to Zhou Ziwen, saying, "This is English documentation on agricultural machinery improvement technology. It's urgently needed by a large agricultural machinery factory. It's extremely difficult to translate, involving a lot of cutting-edge technology and complex expertise, but I believe you're up to the task. If you can complete the translation within a month, the royalties will be very generous, two hundred yuan."
Zhou Ziwen took the document and looked through it carefully. As Li Guangwen said, the information was indeed extremely difficult. It was full of complex mechanical principle diagrams, densely packed data tables and unfamiliar professional vocabulary.
Although it is very difficult, his English skills have been upgraded and he is still confident in translating this document.
"Uncle Li, I will take this task." Zhou Ziwen said with a firm look.
Li Guangwen smiled with satisfaction. He admired Zhou Ziwen's courage and confidence and said, "Good boy, you have ambition! But I must warn you, this is not an easy task. You will definitely encounter many difficulties along the way. Feel free to come to me if you encounter any problems, and we can work together to find a solution."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I will do my best."
After leaving the bookstore, Zhou Ziwen went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town.
He planned to buy some fresh meat and take it home to make a hearty lunch for his family.
When you make money, of course you should reward yourself well.
The supply and marketing cooperative was bustling with activity. Zhou Ziwen walked straight to the meat counter. The pork looked especially fresh today, so he carefully selected a piece of pork belly with a nice mix of fat and lean meat, and also bought some spare ribs.
Then he went around the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some sugar, cloth and other daily necessities.
He wanted to make new clothes for Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying. They had been busy and worked very hard recently, so he should make them happy.
After buying the things, Zhou Ziwen carefully tied them to the back seat of his bicycle and rode home.
Along the way, he was in a good mood and hummed a little tune. Zhou Ziwen's figure cast a long shadow in the morning light.
The sunlight shone on him, giving his mood a layer of golden hope.
When I got home, Chen Qiaoyi was teaching little Yueyue to walk in the yard.
Yes, although Yueyue is only seven months old, she can already stand up and walk a few steps with the help of something.
This growth rate is faster than that of children of the same age.
Of course, this is also because Yueyue has been well-nourished since childhood, and Zhou Ziwen is a good doctor and cook.
Giving Chen Qiaoyi nutritious food regularly ensures that little Yueyue gets adequate nutrition in her mother's womb.
After Yueyue was born, Zhou Ziwen took even better care of her. He not only ensured her nutrition, but also often gave her some simple physical training to promote her development.
When Chen Qiaoyi saw Zhou Ziwen coming back, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Brother Ziwen, you are back and bought so many things."
"Yes, let's celebrate today." Zhou Ziwen said as he parked his bicycle and took out the things he bought one by one.
When little Yueyue saw her father coming back, she waved her hands excitedly, babbling and trying to walk towards Zhou Ziwen.
Zhou Ziwen walked over quickly, carefully supported Yueyue, let her lean on him, and walked forward step by step.
"Little Yueyue is great. She can even walk a few steps now." Zhou Ziwen encouraged his daughter, his eyes full of pride.
Encouraged by Zhou Ziwen, Yueyue walked even harder, a happy smile on her face, as if she knew her progress had made her father very happy. (End of this chapter)
