Chapter 449 I Saw It All
"What's wrong with drinking some soda in the middle of summer? Seriously, you're nagging me about this."
Lu Miao pouted and didn't take it seriously.
Fu Jingyou smiled tenderly and coaxed her indulgently:
"That's how elders are when they get older. Next time you want to drink, drink it in your room. If you don't take it out and wave it in front of her, who else can you say?"
Lu Miao swallowed the soda and nodded, his big watery eyes curved up, and he held the soda bottle in front of him with a smile.
"Let's drink together to cool down."
Fu Jingyou followed her hand and took a big bite of food from her.
"I just have a question for you."
Fu Jingyou took out a notebook from his bag and asked, "What do these sentences mean?"
On the notebook were a few English words that Fu Jingyou had copied from a book.
Lu Miao held the soda bottle in his arms and leaned over to take a look.
Point to the first word and say:
"Turbine, this means 'turbine'."
"Turbine..."
Fu Jingyou repeated what she said and pointed to the next one, "What about this one?"
pressor, compressor."
Lu Miao answered, her white and tender fingertips rubbing across his notebook, and said one by one:
"Pump, pump..."
"Wait a moment."
Fu Jingyou hurriedly took out a pen from his bag and wrote down what she had just said in Chinese behind the corresponding nouns.
Turbines, compressors, pumps, propellers...
The vague things in my mind seemed to become clearer.
Fu Jingyou closed the pen cap with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"It seems that I have to hurry up and learn English, otherwise I won't be able to understand the textbooks in the future."
"What are you researching lately?"
"I haven't done any research, I just read a few extracurricular books, and I found this kind of English in many sentences."
I didn't think the theoretical knowledge was that difficult, but after adding this English sentence, I suddenly couldn't understand it.
It's okay now.
By comparing the books later, you will be able to understand it intuitively.
He is a family-oriented person who loves to work and never gets tired. Lu Miao is also happy to have something that allows him to focus on his hobbies.
"Have you memorized and written the alphabet I wrote for you?"
"I can write it, but I don't know if it's accurate if I recite it. Please help me listen to it when you go back tonight."
"Um."
Lu Miao nodded, rummaged through the pocket near his leg, and took out a roll of money.
"I forgot to give it to you this morning. When you go to school, give it to Daddy."
Yesterday, Sunday, Lu Miao went to the publishing house.
Originally, I wanted to let Xu Hongmei take a look at the poetry manuscript she translated to see if it was okay, but just then the review results of the previous manuscript came out.
The translation accuracy rate was as high as 98%, and Xu Hongmei happily took her to settle the bill.
Six palm-sized volumes of poetry collections, 31 biographies of characters, with a total of 38,000 words in the Chinese translation.
Calculated at five yuan per thousand words, it is exactly 190 yuan.
Lu Miao left ninety yuan at home, and the remaining one hundred is all here.
The publishing house pays in full, and we are all united.
Ten, easy to count.
Fu Jingyou nodded and put the money away:
"Then I'll go home later. I've received some money from the ice factory these days."
Lu Miao was afraid that he would think too much and feel psychologically burdened, so he nodded and did not refuse.
I looked at my watch and it was still early.
Lu Miao, with her braided hair curled up, sipped her soda and chatted with him about something else:
"A teacher in class mentioned the summer vacation these past two days. This is the second year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and many teachers have to go to the countryside in advance to prepare for the exam. Summer vacation will also be brought forward, and will probably start at the end of June."
"I haven't written to my hometown since I left. Have you, too? It's been so long. Uncle and Auntie must miss you and the kids. Shall we go back during the summer vacation?"
Fu Jingyou was stunned.
Blame him for being so crude.
After coming here from the south, I was busy trying to gain a foothold here, make a living, and attend classes.
Back home, he really didn't take care of...
However, He Hongjin and Chen Guifen are not tricky people and should be able to sympathize with his difficulties.
"Let's go back."
Fu Jingyou nodded, looked at her and asked:
"Go back and take a look. It won't delay anything if you take the child with you for a few days."
Lu Miao nodded and had no objection:
"There's still about a month left, so I can think of something to buy and bring it back to them."
"Um."
"Class is about to start, let's go back!"
"good."
The young couple, one standing on the steps waving goodbye, the other pushing a bicycle and leisurely rushing out, parted ways.
Lu Miao went upstairs with his bag in hand. When he entered the classroom, he met Li Yue standing at the door.
Li Yue stopped her briefly, smiling sinisterly and complacently:
"I saw it all."
"baffling."
Lu Miao glanced at her sideways and walked straight over.
"you!"
Li Yue wanted to catch up and say something, so she caught up with her class instructor Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng did not have any class in the afternoon. As soon as he came, the classmates had a bad feeling.
As expected, Li Jiancheng lived up to everyone's expectations. He picked up the chalk and wrote on the blackboard, saying with a smile:
"I believe everyone knows what the teacher is going to say."
"That's right. The weather is getting hotter, and there's more work to do in the fields. So, this Thursday, we're still going to the countryside for voluntary labor. Starting next week, the compulsory classes will also be changed from once a week to twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays."
Now we emphasize that working people are the most glorious.
The students in the class all had bitter faces and complained secretly, but they didn't dare to show it on the surface.
Li Jiancheng saw this and smiled, comforting and reminding him:
"Don't be discouraged, just hold on for a while and you'll be fine."
"During this period, we are mainly busy harvesting winter wheat. It will be hot, so everyone should remember to bring water bottles to avoid becoming dehydrated or suffering from heatstroke."
"yes."
There was a mixed response in the classroom.
Li Jiancheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, everyone, pack up and get ready for lunch break."
Soon the lunch bell rang.
Everyone sat down in their seats, reading or resting, and the classroom became quiet.
Lu Miao used the ninety minutes of lunch break to assign translation work.
As usual, she took out her handwritten pages and manuscripts and worked quietly.
At this time in the past, she was the only one who focused on writing and painting.
Now Wang Mian was recommended by her and also took on the translation work at Sitong News Agency.
So, during lunch break, there was another person named Wang Mian who was concentrating on writing and drawing in the classroom.
When Wang Mian first started doing written translation, he was not sure about some of the vocabulary in newspapers and magazines.
He was not embarrassed. Whenever he encountered something he didn't know, he would write it down in a notebook and hand it to Lu Miao.
Ask Lu Miao for advice.
Lu Miao has been involved in translation for a while.
In addition, I had done related work in the translation office before, so practice makes perfect in translation.
Every time after reading the note Wang Mian handed her, she reacted quickly, wrote down the meaning in a few words and put the notebook back.
Then continue to keep your head down and busy yourself.
No delay anywhere.
In the summer, the shade of the trees outside the window is melodious, and even the wind blowing through the classroom is slightly warm.
