When Gu Lang entered the room, he noticed what Tang Xiaoxiao had been thinking about. He had seen her hesitate to speak several times, but today Xiaoxiao was particularly strange. He had been back for a while, but she didn't seem to notice him coming back.
Did something serious happen while I was away today? Or was it something hard to talk about? Should I be more careful about asking? But I didn't seem to hear anything happen today.
Gu Lang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you today? Did something happen? Tell me and I'll help you find a solution."
Gu Lang didn't hear Xiaoxiao's answer after he finished speaking. He walked closer and saw that she was in a daze and didn't hear what he said at all. He gently hugged Xiaoxiao and asked again
"Xiaoxiao, what happened? Why are you like this today? I've been back for a long time and you still don't know. You don't even pay attention to me when I talk to you."
Tang Xiaoxiao felt someone holding her and she realized that Gu Lang had come back at some point. It was already dark. "Gu Lang, when did you come back? Did you talk to me? I didn't hear you."
"I asked you what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, I asked Wanwan to help me think of something I could do a few days ago. She thought of it today, and I'm thinking about this now."
"Now that I thought of you, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you standing here with such a sad face? I thought something happened at home."
"Aren't I afraid you won't agree?"
"As long as you like it, how could I not agree? Can you tell me in detail now?"
"She said I could try the translation work at the newspaper. I could discuss with the newspaper and take it home to do, and then send it over after the translation is done. However, this job would require me to go to the city every few days."
"This is a great job! I hadn't thought of it before. You're good at foreign languages, so you'll definitely be qualified for this job."
"Brother Gu Lang, do you think so too?"
"Of course. I'll take you to the city tomorrow to have a look. That way you won't have to worry about it every day. Let's go early and come back early."
"Okay, but don't tell my parents. What if I fail the test? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"Then we'll wait and tell our family. We can't keep it a secret forever. If possible, let Mom take care of the kids and you take care of this."
"Let's talk about this later. Let's go and take a look first. What if Mom is busy by then? Don't forget that Mom is still making clothes?"
"Hasn't the clothes making started yet? It would be easier for you if I could take care of you when I'm not busy."
"Okay, then why don't you tell Mom and Dad before we go to the city tomorrow."
"I'll just tell you after dinner. It's not a big deal."
At night, Gu Lang said at the dinner table, "Mom and Dad, I want to take Xiaoxiao to the city tomorrow. We haven't been there for a long time."
Gu Lang's mother said, "Go ahead, drive slowly and buy more food for Xiaoxiao. Since you're going, eat something good last night before coming back. There's nothing to worry about at home."
Tang Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Mom, no need. The food at home is very good. We'll just go for a walk and be back soon."
"Just buy whatever you want to eat."
As she spoke, Gu Lang's mother took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, I have money, you don't have to give it to me."
"Your money is yours, but this is what I gave you, it's different."
Seeing that Tang Xiaoxiao was embarrassed to take it, Gu Lang said, "Xiaoxiao, just take it since your mom gave it to you. We should just be more filial to our parents in the future."
Only after hearing what Gu Lang said did Tang Xiaoxiao accept the money.
The next day, the two of them were not in a hurry. They waited until Tang Xiaoxiao woke up naturally before packing up and going out. Gu Lang got up in the morning and borrowed a bicycle from Gu Feng to make it convenient for the two of them to go.
They went to the newspaper office first.
"Hello, we want to find the person in charge of the newspaper."
"Hello, what can I do for our director? Do you have an appointment?"
"I don't have an appointment. I heard the newspaper needs some foreign language translators, and I'd like to try, but I can't work in the office."
"Hello, I'll talk to the director for you."
This person's name is Han Yu. She is currently in charge of translation work at the newspaper. She is not good at foreign languages. She consults a lot of information every day and the translations are still halting, which makes her very tired. Finally, there is someone who can help her. She feels that this is her savior, otherwise she would not be willing to go to the director at this time.
Han Yu knocked on the door. "Hello, Director."
"Xiao Han, I've finished translating today's information."
He knew that it was difficult for Xiao Han to do this, but there was no one else who could do it except Xiao Han. This was the only way, and he had no other choice.
"Director, there are two people outside who say they're looking for a translation job. I came to tell you, but I can't be on duty."
"Take me to them quickly." He was scolded by his superiors every day because of this matter, but no one in the newspaper understood this. He had to seize the opportunity when he finally found someone, because there were too few people here who could speak foreign languages.
"Director, these are the two."
"Hello, my last name is Sun. I'm the director here. I heard you're looking for a translation job."
Tang Xiaoxiao replied, "Hello, Director Sun, it's me I'm looking for."
"We do need translators here, but we need to test your level to see if you are qualified."
"I have no problem with that, right now."
Director Sun brought Tang Xiaoxiao to the conference room and gave her a document to translate.
"This is the conference room. Normally, no one comes here. You translate here. There's information nearby. If you need to look up anything, go find it yourself. If you need a translation, find me. I'm in the third room on the left."
"OK."
Tang Xiaoxiao saw that it was a passage from a foreign language book she had read before. She had read this book several times, so she didn't need to look up any information and started translating it directly. She finished the translation in about half an hour.
