Chapter 396 Buying a Foundation
I entered from the side door of the yard and just happened to see Director Ma coming out of the house shouting something.
Director Ma was stunned when he saw Lu Miao coming:
"This... Comrade Xiao Lu, have you finished translating?"
Lu Miao nodded with a subtle smile:
"This is my first time translating a manuscript, and I'm not sure if it's going to work. I'm anxious to get the answer, so I stayed up all night."
This statement is quite reasonable.
It fits the young people's impatient and urgent psychology.
Director Ma didn't think much about it, and smiled and waved her into the house:
"Okay, let me see the result of your busy night."
Lu Miao chuckled and followed him into the house.
Director Ma compared the newspapers and carefully read the manuscript she brought.
Not only are the notes neat, but the accuracy is also guaranteed.
Director Ma took a quick look at it and then compared it carefully with the newspaper. The accuracy rate was at least 90%.
A translation with an accuracy rate exceeding 88 percent is considered high-quality.
Ma Zhuyi's hands trembled slightly, and he was extremely satisfied.
He put away the manuscript and looked at Lu Miao with a more eager look:
"The manuscript is fine. Are you planning to bring back a mission this time?"
Lu Miao nodded truthfully, "Yes."
Director Ma nodded and asked again:
"Two more?"
Lu Miao was slightly stunned.
The way Director Ma looked at her now was different from yesterday when he told her not to be greedy.
I think she is quite satisfied with her translation.
Yesterday, Lu Miao was anxious and wanted to take a few more copies back.
But after completing a translation, she also gained some insights from it.
Translating the manuscript was not difficult for her, but it was also quite time-consuming.
Especially last night when she was working overtime, the child's father kept sulking beside her and looked very unhappy.
The deadline for this type of manuscript is relatively short, so it is better to do a small amount to be safe.
If I take too much, I'm afraid that something else might happen at home, and it would be delayed and not be completed.
"No, Director Ma, I'd better take one first. I live nearby and come over after I finish translating it."
"Alright!"
It is already very good to have a competent translator, and Director Ma certainly will not find fault with Lu Miao.
After handing Lu Miao a magazine manuscript, he casually asked:
"Do you know Russian?"
Lu Miao raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head gently:
"I don't speak Russian yet, but I know a little bit of French and some other minor languages. However, I learned them by myself, so my speaking of the other languages may be a little bit mixed."
Lu Miao only gave a hint and did not reveal too much.
Director Ma nodded and asked curiously:
"It seems you're quite interested in studying languages. Russian is a popular language right now, so why haven't you thought about learning it?"
Lu Miao nodded and answered cautiously:
"There are many people learning Russian, so there's no shortage of talent in this field. Also, tongue-twisting is too difficult, and I can't learn it, so I'm thinking of choosing a language that suits me."
"Ha ha."
Director Ma smiled kindly, his eyes showing understanding:
"It's a good thing that you're interested in research. Interest is the best teacher. Only genuine interest can improve learning efficiency."
Everyone has a research direction that suits them and that they are passionate about.
Director Ma is an advanced intellectual.
Given the current national situation, he is not like some people who think that Lu Miao, who is proficient in multiple languages, is a problematic person.
On the contrary, he cherishes talents like Lu Miao.
“Young people are formidable, keep going!”
Director Ma patted Lu Miao on the shoulder.
Lu Miao nodded and smiled faintly, "Then I'll go back today and come back after I finish translating these."
Director Ma nodded.
When Lu Miao reached the door, Director Ma called her again and wrote her a translation and management list.
It is a bit like a receipt, which records the dates of receipt and submission of the manuscript.
The first submission was qualified, so the translation supervisor’s stamp of “qualified” was stamped on the 14.8 yuan remuneration.
"Here's one copy at the Translation Office, and you have one copy. Keep this one safe. When you need to pay for something later, you can bring this copy along with your household registration information."
"good."
Lu Miao understood, packed up his things and went home.
After lunch, Tang Mei took care of the children downstairs.
She went upstairs, closed the door, replaced a new coal in the stove, then sat by the window, unfolded the newspaper, and quickly read it several times.
There are only four sections that need to be translated this time, which is half the number of yesterday, so the task is relatively easy.
The stove damper was turned to maximum and the room warmed up quickly.
Lu Miao took off the heavy coat that restricted his movements and spread out the newspaper.
Roll up your sleeves a little and take out the lined paper and pen.
The preliminary work was ready. As she filled the pen with ink, she was still thinking leisurely:
The atmosphere is quite good, all that’s missing is a cup of coffee to symbolize “refreshment”.
Lu Miao chuckled.
The tip of the pen made a rustling sound as it scratched the paper.
Her brows relaxed, and she lowered her head to concentrate again.
Time passed, and around three in the afternoon, the sound of a child calling for his father came from downstairs.
Lu Miao stood up with the help of the table and looked down through the window.
Fu Jingyou was standing in the yard looking up, holding one in his arms and one hanging on his leg.
Tang Mei was saying something on the side, Fu Jingyou nodded, handed the two children to Tang Mei, patted his sleeves and went upstairs.
When he entered the room, Lu Miao had already put the cap on the pen.
"How was your day?"
"It's settled. I'll go over there tomorrow to take over and get the land deed."
There is not much to do today, so Fu Jingyou went to the West Second Ring Road in the morning to gather and measure the foundation.
The job went smoothly, and afterward he treated people to a meal at a state-owned restaurant.
It’s been finalized that I will pay for the foundation directly at the West Third Brigade tomorrow.
The land in the north has not completely thawed yet, and farm work has not yet begun. You can just go there tomorrow. There will always be someone in the team.
Lu Miao understood, and after some rummaging, he took out a bulging bag from the rattan box standing beside the bed.
She pulled open the elastic band and took out several stacks of bills in several batches, all tied with thin hemp ropes.
The thick bundles were mostly banknotes, some were worth twenty yuan a bundle, and some were worth fifty yuan a bundle.
The ten-yuan unity note was kept separately in a small elastic bag.
I have to pay money tomorrow, so I must prepare it in advance to avoid panicking tomorrow.
The money is not much, but the portion is quite large, which makes me dizzy just looking at it.
Lu Miao didn't like to tinker around, so he just threw the big and small money bags to Fu Jingyou and let him do it himself.
When I went out a few days ago, I seemed to have seen the word "bank" somewhere.
Lu Miao thought that when he saved up money in the future, he could deposit it in the bank, where it would be safe and he could earn some interest.
It’s easier to keep it when you get it in exchange for a ticket.
At this moment, it seems that we are still in the economic planning period.
After several mergers and divisions, the bank is currently mainly responsible for handling the funding of national infrastructure and is not a true bank.
Only after the four major banks were officially established did the unified structure emerge...
The establishment of the Big Four banks seems to have only happened in the past two years.
Lu Miao was in a trance, and Fu Jingyou reached out and scratched the tip of her nose.
"What are you thinking about?"
"No~"
