After Yu Xiangnian woke up, he packed up his things and took Xiaojie back home.
Xiaojie also brought his books and homework.
Before going to bed last night, his uncle told him to study hard and listen to his aunt. In the future, he should be able to write and calculate like his aunt, and be able to read books written by foreigners.
After Yu Xiangnian settled Xiaojie, he went to find Qiu Yang.
There is no publishing house in Nancheng, so Qiu Yang took her to meet the president of Nancheng Newspaper today.
Most of the translations for newspapers are news releases or magazine articles, which are very short, usually just a few dozen or a hundred words, and at most a little over two thousand words.
We still conducted an on-site translation test and translated a press release and a magazine article.
The newspaper president was very satisfied with Xiang Nian's translation skills, and considering Qiu Yang's face, he was also satisfied with the price he gave.
Each article with less than 1,000 words costs two yuan, and each article with more than 1,000 words costs five yuan.
On the way home, Yu Xiangnian went to a state-owned restaurant to buy a braised duck and brought it home, and invited Qiu Yang to her house for dinner.
Qiu Yang asked, "You're so eager to make money, is it because Cheng Jingmo can't afford to support you?"
Yu Xiangnian said, "Who would think it's too much money? Besides, I'm leaving myself a way out. If I get divorced someday, I'll need to buy a house somewhere else. It'll cost at least 700 or 800 yuan."
Qiu Yang curled his lips and teased, "He dares to divorce you? Not to mention your dad, even that bighead carp wouldn't let him off!"
Yu Xiangnian thought about Cheng Jingmo's divorce from the original owner. Her family firmly stood on Cheng Jingmo's side. "What if I want a divorce or it's my fault? Everyone in my family is reasonable!"
Qiu Yang said, "If you're married, just live a good life. Why are you thinking about divorce all the time?"
"He has someone in his heart. Do you think this can last long?"
Qiu Yang shook his head in disapproval. "I think this is a bit unreasonable. Although your parents want to find a good man for you, they are soldiers with strong character and style. It's impossible for them to break up others. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
As they were talking, the two had already returned home.
As soon as she entered the door, Yu Xiangnian was shocked that Ding Yunfei was actually in her house.
Zhao Ruozhu was smiling and chatting with him appropriately. Yu Jiashun was sitting on the sofa in the middle, reading a newspaper, looking very arrogant.
Seeing her and Qiu Yang coming back, Yu Jiashun raised his eyelids from the newspaper and glanced at the two of them.
Ding Yunfei quickly stood up and said, "Read... Comrade Yu."
Zhao Ruozhu looked at Yu Xiangnian with a forced smile, "You're back." Then he said to Qiu Yang, "Qiu Yang is here too. Come sit down. It's time to eat."
Yu Xiangnian asked Ding Yunfei angrily, "What are you doing in my house?"
Ding Yunfei: “…”
He didn't know either. He was feeling uneasy all day and just wanted to see Yu Xiangnian.
He knew that Cheng Jingmo had gone to participate in the competition, so he went to the staff quarters to find Yu Xiangnian, but he found that he had returned home.
For some unknown reason, he came back, but the guard at the door wouldn't let him in.
Zhao Ruozhu happened to pass by after get off work. When she heard that he was looking for Yu Xiangnian, she took him home.
Zhao Ruozhu gave her a cold look and said, "What are you talking about? Guests are welcome, Comrade Ding. Eat your meal first and then go back."
Zhao Ruozhu went to the kitchen to order the dishes to be served, and Yu Xiangnian followed in with the braised duck.
"Mom, why did you invite him to dinner?" she complained.
Zhao Ruozhu didn't even look at her. "Let's talk about it tonight. Let's eat now."
Everyone sat at the table, and Zhao Ruozhu greeted them with a smile: "Comrade Ding, just treat it like you're at home. Don't be polite."
Ding Yunfei was flattered.
He didn't expect to be able to enter Yu Xiangnian's house and sit at the same table with the commander-in-chief for dinner.
On weekdays, the commander-in-chief, whom he could only look up to from afar, sat opposite him.
Although Yu Jiashun hadn't spoken a word to him since he entered the house, and only nodded to him as a greeting when he first entered the house, he felt that he was one step closer to the commander-in-chief.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiangnian didn't even look at him the whole time, and the guy named Qiu Yang also looked at him condescendingly.
Zhao Ruozhu picked up a duck leg and put it in Xiaojie's bowl. Xiaojie then picked up the duck leg and gave it to Yu Xiangnian, "Auntie, you eat it."
Zhao Ruozhu was surprised. "Xiao Jie, this is for you. You need to eat it to grow."
Xiao Jie: "My uncle said that my aunt is the most precious person in the family, and the best things should be given to her."
Zhao Ruozhu was touched and happy, and then gave Yu Xiangnian a fierce look.
Yu Xiangnian: “···” She didn’t eat anything, why are you glaring at her?
She passed the duck leg to Xiaojie and said, "Fairies don't like to eat greasy food, you eat it!"
Qiu Yang said coldly, "Fairy? When I treat you, you can have a bowl of braised beef."
After the meal, Ding Yunfei tried hard to find topics to join in. Except for Yu Jiashun and Yu Xiangnian, everyone else also said a few words to him politely.
After dinner, Zhao Ruozhu asked Yu Xiangnian to send Ding Yunfei out.
"Ding Yunfei, don't come to me again!" Yu Xiangnian said coldly as soon as he went out.
Ding Yunfei said kindly, "Niannian, I just really want to see you."
"I don't want to see you!" Yu Xiangnian turned and went home. "Just keep going along the road. I won't see you off!"
"Nian Nian!"
Ding Yunfei wanted to keep her, but he didn't dare to go forward, so he could only turn around and leave in disappointment.
Come to think of it, Yu Xiangnian's mother was willing to invite him to dinner at home today, so she must have a good impression of him.
Thinking of this, I feel full of strength.
When Yu Xiangnian returned home, she saw Zhao Ruozhu sitting there upright. It looked like he was going to settle the score with her.
Qiu Yang went home tactfully.
"You don't like the husband we picked for you. You thought the one you liked would be so outstanding. I think he is not even one tenth as good as Cheng Jingmo." Zhao Ruozhu's tone was not kind, and there was no trace of the pleasant expression she had just now.
Yu Xiangnian complained in his heart, this person's speed of changing expression never disappoints.
However, she wasn't interested in Ding Yunfei, so she spoke confidently, "Don't listen to Yu Xiangyang's nonsense. He has nothing better to do than keep talking nonsense all day. You should consider finding him a partner."
"Don't try to change the topic to Xiangyang. Now it's you!" Zhao Ruozhu said. "You came here today? Why don't you explain?"
"What do I need to explain? How could I have known he would come to see me? I'll tell the guards tomorrow not to let him in anymore."
Zhao Ruozhu was skeptical. "Is it really nothing? Was everything Xiangyang said before a lie?"
Yu Xiangnian swore, "It's really nothing! I hate him!"
Zhao Ruozhu gave him an expression that said, "While Cheng Jingmo and Xiangyang are away, you should stay at home and avoid contact with those people."
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Speaking of Cheng Jingmo, Yu Xiangnian remembered something and asked again, "Mom, when you asked Cheng Jingmo to marry me, didn't you know that he already had a partner and was already discussing marriage?"
