Chapter 169 I have a job



The middle-aged man looked at Gu Mingze with his eyes shining, then smiled and invited a few people to chat with him in the bookstore.

"No, no, you should talk to my daughter. We can't read a single word and can't understand you. We'll just wait for you here." When Mother Lu heard the man in front of her invite them to go into the house, she waved her hand to refuse, saying that she and the old man were looking at something at the door, and asked Gu Mingze and her daughter to go to the bookstore.

"Okay, then you and dad wait here for us, we'll be out soon." Gu Mingze was worried about his wife being with this man, so he suggested going into the bookstore with Lu Qingyan.

"Okay, okay, let's go in and talk." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded repeatedly, then entered the bookstore first.

"Wife, what do you want to talk to him about?" Gu Mingze tilted his head slightly and asked Lu Qingyan in a low voice.

"Just keep quiet when you go in. I'll talk to him." Lu Qingyan didn't say what she was talking about with the bookstore owner, but told Gu Mingze to keep quiet when he went in.

"Okay." Gu Mingze looked at his wife and said nothing. He could only shut his mouth and went into the bookstore with his wife helplessly.

"Comrade, my name is Chen Xuhui. Now that we know each other, I will tell you the rules..." Chen Xuhui told Lu Qingyan the rules and the price with a smile on his face. He asked her to pay the deposit, take the book back to translate, and send it back once a month.

When Lu Qingyan led Gu Mingze out, Gu Mingze was in a state of shock.

He never thought that his wife could actually translate. This shocked him so much that he couldn't control himself.

"What's going on? Girl, didn't you go buy books? Why are you chatting with that boss?" When Lu's mother saw Lu Qingyan and Gu Mingze coming out, she hurried forward to support her daughter and asked

"It's okay, Mom, let's go to the department store to buy some things. We can talk about anything when we get home." Lu Qingyan reached out and patted his mother, letting Gu Mingze take the things and set off to the department store.

"Mingze, what's wrong with you?" Father Lu looked at his son-in-law who was walking forward stupidly with his things on his back, stretched out his hand to push him, and asked in a low voice.

"Dad, Xiaoyan will have a job in the future." Gu Mingze came to his senses immediately after being pushed by his father-in-law. He looked at his father-in-law with shining eyes and said:

"Really?" Father Lu raised his voice when he heard this, but then he lowered his voice for fear of being heard by others, "But how can she work with such a big belly? Will she be too tired?"

"She can't be too tired. She can do this job at home, and she only needs to come to the city once a month." Gu Mingze was now full of surprise and admiration. He didn't expect that his wife could speak foreign languages. It really surprised him.

"Ah? Such a good job?" Father Lu was shocked when he heard his son-in-law's words.

Everyone has to go out to work, but this is the first time I’ve heard that I can work from home. I still have a month left, so I can go out once.

This can't be a lie, right?

Father Lu thought so and looked at Gu Mingze and asked, "Mingze, this is not a lie, right? Who has such a good job and would not introduce it to a family member, but to an outsider?"

"Dad, it's not easy to explain this in detail outside. Let's wait until we get home to talk about it. Don't worry." Gu Mingze couldn't explain what his wife did for a living outside. He could only ask his father-in-law not to worry and he would tell him in detail after he got home.

"My daughter, you'd better wait outside. If there are too many people inside, you might get squeezed out." When Lu's mother saw that they had arrived at the department store, she told her daughter to wait outside while she could go in and buy things.

"Okay, mom, you and my dad go in, I'll get you the money." Lu Qingyan said as she took out the money from her pocket and stuffed it into her mother's pocket.

"Okay, then you guys wait here, don't go too far, otherwise your father and I won't be able to find you when we come out." Mother Lu didn't refuse too much outside. After holding the money in her hand, she called the old man into the department store.

"Mingze, what did you say to Dad just now?" Lu Qingyan looked at the man's bulging pockets and couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't say anything. I just told my dad that you had a job. He was so happy. Then when he heard that you only came to the city once a month and worked at home the rest of the time, he was afraid that you would be cheated. I told him not to worry and to explain it to him when I got home." After saying this, Gu Mingze looked at his wife and asked in a low voice: "Wife, how did you learn English by yourself? I didn't see you reading at home."

"If you don't know, then don't ask. Anyway, it's a good thing that I have a job. When I get paid, I can help you share some of the burden." Lu Qingyan would not be so stupid as to say that to a man. She just turned a blind eye and fooled him.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. But if you translate these things for a long time in the future, will your stomach feel uncomfortable?" After saying this, Gu Mingze was afraid that his wife would think that he was only worried about the child and not her, so he explained: "I'm worried that you will feel uncomfortable if you do it for a long time."

"It's okay. If I don't feel well, I'll just rest. Anyway, this little thing will be fixed in no time." Lu Qingyan said with a smile while touching her belly.

Then he touched the few books he was carrying, thinking about going home quickly to take the things out and hide them, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable to keep them inside his clothes.

"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell us. We would rather not earn that little money than take good care of our bodies and the baby in our belly, okay?" Gu Mingze has almost broken off relations with his family, so his only relatives now are his wife and the baby in her belly.

He just wants to take good care of them now, nothing else he asks for.

"Well, I know. Don't worry. I will take good care of myself and the child." After Lu Qingyan said this, she seemed to remember something and looked at Gu Mingze and asked, "How are we going to get back later?"

"Uh!" Gu Mingze was also confused by the question. He didn't know either. The people from the logistics department should not have come to the city at this time, right?

"Why don't you go and look for it? Otherwise, we have so many things to carry and it's so far away, how are we going to get back?" Lu Qingyan's eyes sparkled when she thought about how they had to walk dozens of miles to get back to the army.

She was very lazy, especially with her big belly, so she was determined not to walk home.

"Wait a moment. When my parents come back, I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant and then I'll go find someone else." Gu Mingze was worried about his wife being alone here, so he thought that after his father-in-law and mother-in-law came out, he would go find a car.

"Then let's find a deserted place first. Put everything in your pocket into a sack." Lu Qingyan thought that the man would have to go find a car later, and the things in his pocket would definitely get in the way, so she asked him to find a deserted place and take out everything in his pocket.

"Okay, let's go."
