I regret not having read enough books when I need them, fortunately I have memorized a lot in the past!
Jiang Jun was so lucky that the encyclopedia-like knowledge she had accumulated during the lonely study time that she once hated was now being put to good use!
Lao He is worthy of being the chief accountant. No matter how happy he was chatting or what kind of fun he was having, he never forgot the occasion. He knew that Ye Qingyin and Jiang Jun definitely didn't come here just to listen to his "nonsense", so he said goodbye after having dinner.
Ye Qingyin then took out the gift bag she had brought and said politely, "Director Wang, this small gift is not a token of respect!"
Director Wang remained calm and said, "Director Ye, this is wrong. We are so familiar with each other, just like our own family. Why do you treat my place like a temple?"
Ye Qingyin smiled lightly: "Isn't it just like I treat your place as my own home?"
Director Wang glanced at the British-style gift bag on the coffee table, then turned and casually glanced at Jiang Yun. "Xiao Jiang, you know a lot. Where are you going?"
Being able to serve as an interpreter for the commander is not something you can get by just by being familiar with the person.
"She's still at home. Where she'll work in the future depends entirely on what you, Director Wang, say!" Ye Qingyin said calmly, "Xiao Jiang is only eighteen years old. She can do anything."
Director Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "Just let Old Chen's men go. The army also needs talents!"
Ye Qingyin laughed: "Alas, what's the point of a girl joining the army? Our Xiaowu is often on missions too. If both of us join the army, our family will have to play the empty city plan every day."
"Old Ye, are you worried that your child will suffer?"
"She can endure hardships herself, so why should I be worried about her? I'm just worried about our Xiaowu, who has to sleep outdoors all day. I hope that no matter how busy or tired Xiaowu is outside, there will be someone at home who will worry about him."
"You're right. If someone in the family is fighting on the front lines, someone else has to be there to support them!" Director Wang noticed Jiang Yun's ease, as if she didn't care about her future career path. "Xiao Jiang, where did you learn foreign languages?"
Jiang Jun, who was called by name, turned his head slightly and looked directly at Director Wang with clear eyes. "I'm self-taught. My father taught me the basics before, and later Chen Yuanwu taught me."
Director Wang was a little surprised: "Self-taught? Then what exactly do you do as a translator receiving foreign guests?"
When we say translation is embellishment, it’s actually just serving tea and pouring water, right?
Jiang Jun smiled slightly: "Serve as an oral interpreter."
Ye Qingyin added, "Xiao Jiang also serves as a cultural instructor for our military commander in his spare time, giving them two classes a week."
Director Wang looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh, you're still teaching the commander! But now I have to work, and I can't do that anymore. The commander must be dissatisfied with me, right?"
When Ye Qingyin heard there was a good chance, she quickly agreed on Jiang Jun's behalf. "Commander Gao is our neighbor, and our courtyards are next to each other. Xiao Jiang only has time to give them more lessons because he's not working. From now on, Xiao Jiang will definitely focus on work. Old Chen and his military region have many talented people."
After three rounds of conversation between the host and the guest, all the questions that needed to be asked had been asked clearly, and most of what needed to be said had been said. It was not appropriate to sit for too long, so Ye Qingyin politely said goodbye to Director Wang and politely agreed on the time for their next meeting. She was so happy.
It would take most people 30 minutes to walk from the edge of the imperial city to the Chen family. However, Ye Qingyin took Jiang Jun for a walk, stopping and starting along the way. She pointed at the old buildings on the roadside and told Jiang Jun that this was the residence of someone in the past. They walked slowly for nearly two hours.
Since they had decided to come back at the last minute, and Sister Liu's arm was injured and she hadn't brought anything with her, and since there was no one to clean the courtyard in the capital, Ye Qingyin went to Dean Wang's house next door and borrowed a place to lie down and rest: "Xiao Jiang, if you're tired, lie down for a while. We'll be leaving soon anyway."
Ye Qingyin had always treated Jiang Jun as an outsider before, and her words and actions were very unfamiliar, but this time she unknowingly brought out the word "we".
Jiang Jun knew Ye Qingyin's habits. If there was a room in the house that was not clean, she would not be able to sleep no matter where she lay down, and would call Sister Liu to ask about it every once in a while.
Come on, let her not sleep anymore, just wipe the dust, it won’t make her too tired.
When Ye Qingyin woke up from a nap, she remembered that Jiang Jun was wearing clothes for visiting guests. She had to clean the yard and the house, and wash and scrub the clothes, which would ruin the clothes.
Who knew that Jiang Yun had found two of Chen Yuanwu's old clothes from his middle school days in Chen Yuanwu's room and put them on. She also found an old military cap without a badge and put it on her head. To make it easier to work, she even turned the brim of the cap to the back of her head...
Ye Qingyin looked at him with both anger and amusement: "At first glance, I thought it was Xiaofei!"
As soon as he said this, his heart skipped a beat. Thinking that Yue Peng had misunderstood the relationship between Chen Yuefei and Jiang Jun, his face darkened again.
Jiang Jun had become accustomed to Ye Qingyin's mood swings. He took off his military cap, wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck, and asked, "Aunt Ye, are you having dinner at home tonight? Or should I go out and buy some food?"
Ye Qingyin waved her hand: "No need, let's eat at Dean Wang's house."
I haven't been home for two months and I'm out of rice and noodles. It's almost time to make dinner, but the vegetable company is closed at 2 o'clock. The most I can do is go to the restaurant and buy two bowls of noodles.
I just had a chat with Hongru, how can I eat plain food now?
In fact, Jiang Yun would rather buy a sesame bun outside and eat it at home than eat at someone else's house.
It's nothing else, she just doesn't want to deal with strangers.
Dean Wang from next door and Ye Qingyin are classmates and colleagues, and they talk about everything. Just now, the Wang family's nanny invited Ye Qingyin into the house to rest as if she were the owner of the house.
I heard that Dean Wang had a talkative daughter. Based on her understanding of old Beijing, the three or four members of the Wang family would soon ask her about her life as if they were checking her household registration. Jiang Jun tried to avoid it: "Auntie Ye, the rooms are all cleaned up. I'm going to catch up on some sleep. If I'm not up at dinner time, don't call me."
Finally, Ye Qingyin came to call her, but not to call her for dinner, but to ask her to answer the phone. It was Zhang Mingtao: "Teacher Xiao Jiang, Staff Officer Chen asked me to get him a table and a single bed last time, saying that you wanted them, and asked me to help deliver them to Ping County. Do you want to come with us?"
Jiang Jun hadn't slept enough. Although his mind was clear, he still didn't have the energy to speak. Every word he said trailed off softly: "Is that Director Zhang? When are you coming over? I want to go with you!"
"Wait for my call!"
"Okay, thank you! Goodbye!"
Jiang Jun put down the phone with a smile.
Ye Qingyin frowned slightly and said in a bad tone: "Xiao Jiang, are you always so coquettish when talking to Xiao Wu's comrades?"
