Yao's mother tapped her daughter's forehead: "Just say what you want to say directly. Is it really necessary for you to beat around the bush like this? I know, I won't care what they say from now on. Anyway, I got used to it when we were in the Houshan Brigade!"
Yao Tongjia: "..." It seems like you asked me to say this, so why are you saying I'm beating around the bush?
"I'm not beating around the bush, I'm just saying it directly!"
These words made Xiao Gengwu's lips curl up. Just then, Xiao Yan walked in. Yao Yanxin asked curiously, "Yanzi, why are you so late today? Have you eaten?"
Xiao Yan shook her head: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving! I didn't bring any food coupons, so even if I had money, I couldn't eat!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's exhausted face, Yao Yanxin said, "I'll go make you some dumpling soup. You can wash up and be done in no time!"
Yao Tongjia poured her master a glass of water, adding a little spiritual spring water: "Are you very busy today?"
Xiao Yan was weak and listless. She took the water and gulped it down. After she finished it, she glanced at Yao Tongjia. It was spiked. After drinking it, her fatigue disappeared and she didn't seem so hungry anymore!
Xiao Yan stood up to wash her hands: "The tractor overturned, and everyone on the vehicle was injured. When they were brought in, two of them were quite seriously injured. Our department only has two people who can work."
"We treated the two more seriously injured patients first. The surgery took all morning. Those people with connections not only didn't help, but also caused trouble."
“Almost everyone on this bus is from the same production brigade. It’s normal for everyone to be anxious and upset with so many injuries. The director and I will prioritize treating the seriously injured.”
"But several other people were also bleeding, and these people with connections were dressed in nurses' uniforms and still sitting there knitting. Those people couldn't stand it and said a few words to them!"
"They actually dared to start a fight and even curse someone to die! Isn't that just asking for trouble?! They really have no skills whatsoever, but their tempers are absolutely awful!"
Fortunately, someone with good judgment ran to fetch Dean Zhou, who took over the care of the other patients; otherwise, who knows what might have happened!
Yao Yanxin brought out a large bowl of dumpling soup, topped with green vegetables and an egg. It looked pretty good!
"Yan Yan, I feel like your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Yao Yanxin retorted, "Now I'm relying on you to support me, so I have to take good care of your three meals a day, otherwise I'll starve!"
Yao Yanxin laughed nonstop, not even believing her own words. Xiao Yan took a few bites and then stopped: "You took the medicine? Your shipment this time is more than my annual salary. You say you rely on me to support you? You're the one supporting me!"
Seeing the two adults arguing, Yao Tongjia looked at Xiao Gengwu and said, "You've finished translating this time, why don't you take a break? Don't overwork yourself!"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "I translate any book I can find. It's not tiring at all, and I find it extremely interesting!"
Yao Tongjia's lips twitched. She wondered if others would be furious if they heard this. This guy's translation speed was getting faster and faster; now he could translate up to five books a day.
According to the price Lao Pan gave him, he could earn 500 yuan a day. However, he estimated that Lao Pan's inventory had all been translated. He handed in the translated books yesterday, but they haven't been delivered yet.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Xiao Gengwu went to open it, and inside came Old Pan and Minister Tan, who were carrying books that almost drowned them.
Everyone watched this scene. Yao Yanxin realized what was happening and wanted to go help, but the two refused, saying, "It's too heavy. Let's find a place to put it down!"
In the end, Xiao Gengwu wasn't embarrassed at all and let them put it in his room. Yao Yanxin quickly poured herself a glass of water: "You've gone to so much trouble. There are two boys here; you should have asked them to go out and carry it!"
Old Pan, who doesn't exercise much, was really tired. His hands were trembling: "This little bit of work is nothing. Ever since Xiao started translating for me, I haven't needed to translate at all. I'm so happy!"
Minister Tan teased him, "I haven't seen your hair grow back!"
These words really stung. Old Pan lovingly touched the few hairs he had left: "I looked in the mirror this morning and it seems like I've grown a few more hairs!"
Everyone: "......" How did you even know it was just a few strands of hair?
After Xiao Gengwu finished tidying up the books, Lao Pan came out and handed him a bankbook: "You're really making a fortune every day, but you should take it easy, or you'll end up like me, losing your hair!"
Xiao Gengwu handed the bankbook to Yao Tongjia, his eyes full of self-satisfaction, but his words were concise and to the point: "Absolutely not!"
"Why are you so sure?" Old Pan asked, puzzled. Almost everyone in the translation field, or at least the people he knew, was bald!
"I don't need to stay up all night. I keep a normal sleep schedule, so my hair will stay in good condition!" Besides, he drinks that water regularly, so how could he be like everyone else?
These words struck Old Pan like a bolt from the blue. He cautiously asked, "So many books, and you translate them so quickly without even staying up all night. How long does it take you to translate just one book now?"
Xiao Gengwu was holding a book, flipping through it every few seconds, without any scratch paper. When asked the question, he casually replied, "I haven't timed it. Usually, one book per class period!"
Old Pan was a little stunned. After a while, he turned to Yao Tongjia and asked, "How many minutes is a class at your school now?" He remembered that when they were in school, a class was 45 minutes long.
Does that mean that now that Mr. Ke is the principal, he's changed the class schedule?
Yao Tongjia could tell what Lao Pan was thinking just by looking at him, but she was determined to disappoint him: "45 minutes per class!"
Old Pan stiffly turned his head back: "Translate a book in 45 minutes? Even writing takes more than 45 minutes, right?"
Xiao Gengwu continued flipping through the book, only giving a soft "hmm" and ignoring Lao Pan, continuing to read the foreign language book in his hands!
Yao Tongjia answered on his behalf: "He has strong concentration. You see, he can read a page of a book in a few seconds. He doesn't need to use scratch paper like we do, translating as he reads."
"He read the entire book in one go, and then wrote it down in one go, which definitely saves time!"
Write it all down in one go? That requires an incredible memory! He's checked all the books this kid translated, and they're all perfect translations; otherwise, he wouldn't have raised his price!
He himself rarely translates anymore, and he gives all the translations to Xiao Gengwu. He even brings over books that others can't translate, otherwise he won't be able to supply enough for this kid to translate.
I don't know how this kid's head is formed. I really want a head like that. I just wonder if he can be reincarnated and have one?
