Chapter 53

Ruiting has a lot to say to her husband.

He didn't stop talking all the way, and when he returned to the temporary dormitory arranged by the factory, he was still chattering.

For example, although reporter Ning looked cold and indifferent, he was actually a good person and took good care of her.

For example, she and her second brother wanted her eldest sister to stay in Tianjing, and her eldest sister was willing.

For example, my second brother might participate in the art troupe's consolation performance in the next few days.

For example, Captain Cao Wenzhe was transferred to another position and escaped from the sea of ​​suffering: "...You don't know how happy the military families in the family compound were for Captain Cao's transfer. They all said that he had someone behind him..."

Huo Xiao doesn't talk much, but he likes to listen to his wife and is very patient from beginning to end.

It was not until he squatted down and made sure her feet were not swollen that he stood up to take off his wife's thin coat who was immersed in the desire to share, that his hand was suddenly held down.

Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Ruting first felt the inside pocket of his clothes to make sure he felt something, then he mysteriously took out an envelope.

"What is this...?"

"Guess what! I kept it carefully, for fear that it would fall."

"Translation fee?"

Tingting's eyes widened, and then she wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction with her husband: "I wanted you to guess, but I don't feel any sense of accomplishment when you do this."

Huo Xiao was amused and rubbed his wife's head again: "My Tingting is really amazing! But... making money is no problem, but health is the most important, don't force yourself, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'll just be busy for the next two days. When these factories finish copying the information, I can make money at home... By the way, this is only given by three of the factories. The steel factory is in a hurry and I haven't received the money yet. The recording factory is expected to receive it by tomorrow morning... It's really a lot of money!" She was really tired, and her head was still dizzy at the moment, but it was really worth it.

However, I don’t know if the timeline she had seen about the royalties was wrong, or if this was just a parallel world.

The current translation fee generally ranges from 5 to 11 yuan per thousand words.

Because of the timely rain, Ruiting got the highest level of 11 yuan.

After more than ten hours of overloaded work, with the help of Qian Haitao and Ning Yu, she translated nearly 20,000 words.

In other words, there are about two hundred dollars in revenue a day, which is absolutely a super high income. How can I not be excited?

Huo Xiao was redeeming his footbath water when he heard about his wife's income. He was a little surprised. Tingting earned nearly two months' salary of his in just one day.

Ruiting sat on the bed, took off her socks and put her feet in the foot basin. After her husband's feet were put in, she habitually put her feet on top of his and said with a smile, "When you finish your mission, go back and help me. You can also learn by the way."

Huo Xiao had attended military school and was good at Russian, but could only communicate in simple English. Now that he had the opportunity to learn and help his wife at the same time, he naturally agreed.

"By the way, I originally wanted to divide the translation fee between Qian Haitao and Ning Yu in proportion, but they refused to take it. I felt a little embarrassed. How about we buy them a gift after some time?"

"As I should. You decide on this matter. By the way, as for Cao Wen Ze..." Huo Xiao was about to say that he helped Cao Wen Ze with that matter when he felt a weight on his shoulders.

He immediately stopped talking and looked sideways.

Sure enough, the wife who was full of energy just now had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder.

This is really... falling asleep in one second.

Huo Xiao felt amused but also distressed, so he bent down to help wipe the man's feet, then gently put him on the bed.

Then when he went out alone to pour water for washing his feet, he ran into Director Cheng who was returning from sending a reporter from Ning.

Huo Xiao nodded at the two of them and asked, "Is it okay to pour the foot washing water into the house?"

"Ah?...Oh, it's okay, it's okay..." Factory Director Cheng was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Captain Huo not only prepared footbath water for his wife, but also poured it out. In his opinion, it was a very embarrassing thing for a man to pour out footbath water.

Huo Xiao had no idea what the other person was thinking. He nodded at the man again and strode towards the back of the townhouse building.

the next day.

When Ruting was woken up, Huo Xiao had left without her knowing.

However, it was the same in the army before, so she was not too surprised.

Of course, there was no time to be surprised, because after washing up and having breakfast, Ruiting got busy again.

This busy process lasted another two days.

Except for three factories that could not repair their machines due to lack of damaged parts, the machines in the remaining ten or so factories were all operating continuously.

As the main contributor, Tingting not only earned an extra six or seven hundred yuan, but also successfully gained some face with the factory leaders.

In order to maintain long-term friendly cooperation with her, these factory managers even said that in the future, whenever she needed anything from the factory, they would give her the internal price.

They also took the initiative to extend an olive branch, saying that one or two jobs could be provided in each factory.

Ruiting immediately understood that the product benefits were for her personally, but the job position was for the troops and military families.

While she was happy, she couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he could become the factory director, he was a thousand-year-old fox, and he did things so flawlessly.

However, the jobs for the military dependents were solved, but it was still up to Luting to fight for her eldest sister's job alone.

She had the best impression of Director Fang of the steel plant, and Qian Haitao's uncle was the deputy director...

So, when Director Fang handed a thick stack of photocopied materials brought back from Shanghai to Tingting, she mentioned that she wanted to buy a job for her elder sister.

Director Fang did not agree immediately, but asked about the specific situation first.

After confirming that she was of good family background and had even finished junior high school, he nodded and said, "You don't need to buy a job. You can bring her here directly. I'll assign her to the Materials Department, which happens to be short of people... This job may not look as prestigious as the accounting or publicity department, but it's actually very easy. It's just about managing materials and doing registration. What do you think?"

It couldn't be better, or rather, unexpectedly good!

Li Ting really didn't want her elder sister to work hard in the workshop, but... she still had to buy a house and transfer her household registration first. Thinking of this, she thanked him and then hesitated, "It may take about half a month before I can report back. Do you think it's okay?"

Factory Director Fang was just trying to repay a favor, so he didn't even ask why. "There's no rush. If your sister is in Tianjing, she can report here first and get a spot. Then she can start work in half a month."

Li Ting understood immediately: "Thank you, Director Fang. I will bring my sister over in the next two days."

Three days away from home.

Tingting found that she missed home quite a lot.

But she did not return to the army immediately.

The fried fruits were still in the car, and she had to send them to her husband first to warm him up.

The location where Huo Xiao's troops were stationed was close to the embankment. The path here was very muddy and cars definitely couldn't enter.

Just as the group was about to roll up their trousers and walk over carrying the fried fruits.

Several young warriors saw them.

These were all soldiers from Huo Xiao's regiment, so they naturally knew the beautiful sister-in-law of the regiment commander.

So, without even explaining their purpose, one of the soldiers quickly ran in one direction, shouting, "Captain! Your sister-in-law is here to see you!"

1. The...

Hearing someone laughing beside her, the socially awkward Ruting was too embarrassed to confirm whether the person laughing was the driver or the photographer.

Then, something even more socially deadly came.

When Huo Xiao strode towards this side, a group of people followed him.

All of them enthusiastically called out "Sister-in-law!"

Moreover, the soldiers knew that their sister-in-law had a good temper and would not look down on others, so they were not at all shy.

After they gathered around, they all asked about her experiences in various factories in the past few days, and it was obvious that they all knew about her translation.

Finally, Huo Xiao looked at the setting sun and was afraid that his wife would be late for her return home, so he turned his face cold and threw the two big bags to everyone: "Go and divide them among everyone..."

The soldiers had not expected to receive any gifts, so they expressed their gratitude again. Then, before the commander's face darkened, they ran away laughing.

Seeing that they were in good spirits despite their chaotic appearance, Ruting couldn't help but laugh along. She then took out a large paper package from her bag and handed it to her husband: "When will this be over?"

Huo Xiao took it over: "At most the day after tomorrow, what is this?"

Ruiting coughed a little embarrassedly, then whispered: "The food factory gave us a lot of snacks and canned food, but it's definitely not enough for the soldiers. You can keep these cakes for yourself."

"Okay, I won't give it to anyone." Huo Xiao liked being treated specially by his wife, and his eyes were full of smiles at this moment.

Seeing him so happy about such a small thing, Ruting felt helpless, but couldn't help laughing along.

There were no street lights in those days and the road conditions were not good, so we had to get back to the unit before it got completely dark.

So, the couple who had finally met each other parted ways before they could even talk for a few words.

But this time, Li Ting was in a good mood because her husband said she could go back the day after tomorrow.

Huo Xiao was in an equally good mood. He took the food his wife had given him and went straight to the temporary tent.

Then he saw Dong Xiao, Cao Wenzhe, and several other officers from the first battalion eating fried fruits inside.

When several people saw the group leader, they all invited him to come over and eat.

Dong Xiao even grabbed a few and handed them over, saying with a smile: "Our sister-in-law is really generous. With two big bags like that, all the soldiers in the camp can get a few. Everyone is so happy... Here, this is yours. If I hadn't been quick and grabbed a few more, you wouldn't have gotten your turn."

Huo Xiao shook his head: "I don't need it, you guys eat it."

Dong Xiao: "No, it's just a token of my sister-in-law's kindness. I've been busy all day. I'll have a drink of water, eat some fruit and take a break."

Hearing this, Huo Xiao pondered for a few moments, felt that what Old Dong said made sense, and reached out to take it.

Then he picked up the kettle, poured half a cup of tea, sat on a wooden stake and started eating.

After finishing the fruit, he still felt unsatisfied, so he opened the paper package and took out a piece of egg cake and continued eating.

"You...Old Huo! What you are doing is not right? How come you still have so many good things...are they given to you exclusively by your sister-in-law?" Dong Xiao said that he was not greedy, but he just couldn't bear to see the other party eating alone.

Huo Xiao, who was waiting for him to speak, glanced at his good brother as if he didn't care and said, "I looked over at him from the Wife-Looking Stone."

What a petty person...Dong Ao, who had just laughed at people who were looking forward to their wives the day before yesterday, shut his mouth instantly.
