“Your hands aren’t really suited for housework. Leave all the odds and ends to me. You can go do more important things.”
After she finished speaking, she looked up again and cautiously asked Shuying about her day.
"I noticed you were gone for quite a while today. Xiao Wang said you were there to do something very important. You're a medical student, so did you encounter some patients with difficult or unusual illnesses at the hospital?"
Shu Ying paused, knowing that these matters were to be kept secret, so she only briefly mentioned what she was going to do.
"It has nothing to do with the hospital. There are just a few international friends here who have some language barriers with our colleagues. I'm going there today to act as their translator."
"translate?"
Song Zhaodi had never heard of this word before and found it novel.
Xie Zhiyan couldn't sit still, so he started tidying up the bottles and jars in the room. "It's about communicating with international friends in foreign languages and then translating their meaning into our language to tell us. It's like acting as an intermediary."
Song Zhaodi immediately understood and gave Shu Ying a thumbs up.
"I never expected Yingying to know foreign languages. It's true that having knowledge is a good thing."
Shu Ying took off her shoes and lay down on the sofa. "Fortunately, it's something I'm good at, so overall it was still helpful."
The water in the pot had already boiled. Song Zhaodi put the noodles into the pot, and also put in the meatballs made from fresh meat. In another casserole dish were vegetables. All that was left was to wait. After the noodles boiled twice, they were taken out and put into the casserole dish to cook together for two minutes. Then they could be served and eaten.
Song Zhaodi wiped her hands on her apron, then came over and patted Shuying's head. "You've already done a great job. Look at me, I can't even read many words, let alone foreign languages. Actually, you've always been very capable, you just don't realize it."
Song Zhaodi's words reminded Shu Ying, whose eyes sparkled. "Sister, you have such a strong learning ability. You can even understand such a difficult craft very quickly. If you want to go to university, it's not too late for you to study again now."
The school has relaxed the requirements for students now, so she can go to school now if she wants.
"If you want to learn, I can be your teacher anytime. Although I have never done this kind of work before, I am very good at teaching. I taught Yueyue and Yangyang. Also, you don't need to worry about tuition fees. We will support and respect any decision you make. It is a good thing for people to strive for self-improvement."
Song Zhaodi's heart suddenly raced. Shu Ying's words had indeed greatly encouraged her in some ways. She had always envied children who could study since she was a child.
Those days from the past came flooding back into her mind, and the smile on her face froze as she held Shuying's hand tightly.
“Back then, my mother in the village kept lying to me, saying that I could go to school. She said that as long as I did all the farm work and housework, I would have the opportunity to go to school. So I worked hard every day from dawn till dusk to do those things. If He Caixia happened to not pay much attention to me that day, I would also take the time to go to the window of the village school and listen to the teacher’s lessons.”
