Back to school, having missed half a month of classes, Jianshu studied even harder. After all, Peking University is full of hidden talents. If I don't study hard and make up for the missed half a month twice as much, by the end of the semester, I might be pulled down from the top spot.
You know, since the first final exam, countless people have been eyeing her position and are eager to take it.
In order to maintain his current performance, Jianshu has worked very hard. He studies all the time on weekdays and has no time at all to spare.
In addition, she also took English as a minor, and because of her accurate translation, she was introduced by department teachers to take on certain translation work.
Of course, she is just a student who has not yet graduated. The biggest reason why she has the honor to participate in this work is that there are not many people learning foreign languages in China nowadays, and even fewer learning English.
Going back a few years, the most popular foreign language major wasn't English at all, but Russian. As a result, there was an urgent need for English translators, and even outstanding students like Jianshu were drafted into the profession.
Of course, it was definitely impossible to ask them to undertake the translation of various more professional knowledge at the beginning. Jianshu and others were only responsible for some simple translation work.
Even so, everyone was excited. What was wrong with a simple translation? This was also the professors' recognition of them!
Besides studying, I also have to finish the translation work at hand. I am so busy that I can hardly find any free time except for eating and sleeping.
Of course, there are rewards for your efforts.
First of all, with the access to a large amount of information, the members of the translation team have made great progress in their professional knowledge.
Secondly, most of the people involved in translation work are industry experts. Being able to communicate with them and make an appointment with them has many benefits for students. Apart from anything else, it will definitely be an advantage when it comes to graduation assignments.
Not to mention the hidden benefits, there are also many tangible rewards. Translation, how can it be unpaid? And the remuneration is not low.
Although they currently only do simple translation work, they still earn around 10-20 yuan a month. And I believe their salary will continue to rise as their skills improve.
After all, the translation industry has always been very profitable.
With so many things added together, Jianshu is really busy. Even when he goes home on weekends, he brings back a lot of translation materials.
"I bought you a house near Beijing University. Take some time to go and have a look in the next two days."
As soon as he got home, Jian Shu was stunned by Jian Yucheng's words.
"What?" She didn't react for a moment. Why did he suddenly buy a house?
Jian Yucheng put down the newspaper in his hand and glanced at her. "Didn't I say last year that I would buy you a house near Peking University? I couldn't find a suitable one before, but I just found one not long ago. I forgot to tell you. If you have time during this vacation, go and take a look."
Jian Shu dug up this incident from his memory, twitched his lips, and leaned over, "Dad, are you still thinking about this?"
"Hmm!" Jian Yucheng glanced at her, "When did I stop caring about you?"
"Hey, that's not what I meant!" Seeing her father was unhappy, Jian Shu quickly changed the subject, "Then I'll go look at houses tomorrow."
"Well, I bought it and I haven't touched it. It depends on how you want to clean it up."
"Dad, why are you so nice--" Jian Shu was touched and hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
Gu Yiyi, who was playing with toys on the ground, heard this and started to flatter him, "Hello, Grandpa!"
Jian Shu frowned, "You little bitch, don't imitate my speech!" Then he hugged Jian Yucheng tightly, "This is my dad! If you want to act like a spoiled child, go find your dad!"
The little girl got up from the ground, ignoring her mother's cold eyes, and threw herself into her grandfather's arms, hugging his waist and shouting, "I won't! This is my grandpa!"
The mother and daughter stared at each other, and Jian Yucheng, who was being fought over, had a smile on his face.
"Okay, stop arguing and go eat."
"snort!"
"snort!"
The mother and daughter crossed their arms, turned their heads away, and looked as if to say, "I don't want to play with you anymore." It was very funny.
Jian Yucheng shook his head, stood up and walked towards the restaurant.
As for the mother and daughter who were throwing tantrums later, he couldn't do anything about it.
On Saturday morning, Jian Shu followed the address given by Jian Yucheng and found the middleman who bought the house, and asked him to take her to see the house.
"The original owner's surname was Li. This house was passed down from his grandfather. He spent a lot of money to buy it, and later on, he used only the best materials for the renovation," said the middleman Yu Liu.
Jianshu took a look around. It was a two-story building with eight rooms in total. There was a yard in the back and it faced the street in front. The entire house covered an area of nearly 200 square meters. If a family lived there, it would be quite spacious.
The walls and floor of this house are very dirty, and there are some random partitions in the house, which obviously were added later. The layout is very cramped. If you want to live in it, you have to clean it up.
"This house is pretty good, right? Why would the original owner be willing to sell it?" Jianshu asked curiously.
Yu Liu sighed. "During the movement, my family was sent down to the countryside, and our house was confiscated. It was just returned to us not long ago. But the owner and his family have settled down there and don't plan to return. There's no point in keeping the house. It's inconvenient to rent it out, so we're planning to sell it and get some immediate cash."
Jianshu was silent for a moment, wondering if the homeowner would regret it when the housing prices in Beijing soared.
But that had nothing to do with her anymore. It was all voluntary anyway. He was willing to sell and she was willing to sell. The money and goods were settled, and they had nothing to do with each other.
"By the way, I still don't know how much this house costs." Although her father had already paid the money, she really didn't know the price.
Yu Liu was the middleman. He handled the entire house purchase process and knew everything. "Your father bought it over three months ago. The price was about 200 yuan per room. The house has eight rooms, so it cost 1,600 yuan. But houses were hard to sell at the time, and the owner was eager to sell. In the end, he sold it, including the backyard, for 1,500 yuan."
"How much? Fifteen hundred?" Jian Shu exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Liu thought she thought it was too expensive, so he quickly explained, "This price is not bad. There's such a big yard at the back. If we have the materials, we can build two more rooms without any problem."
Jianshu: “…”
She didn't think it was too expensive, she thought it was too cheap, okay?
Two hundred yuan for a room is really a bargain, okay?
But if you think about the current average salary, 1,500 yuan, many people really can't afford it.
Those who have jobs are waiting for their companies to allocate housing.
