Chapter 134: Invitation from the Newspaper
It was more than half a month later when I heard news about Xue Fugui from Zhang Deren again. Obviously, because of the human life involved and the other evidence, his verdict came down very quickly. Eating peanuts is his final fate.
As usual, the people from the Revolutionary Committee went to his courtyard and searched his house. That night he only took things from the secret room. He had considered that this would happen after he reported the incident, so he did not touch anything in the open at home. In the end, he still found several thousand yuan in cash and a wooden box the size of a small jewelry box filled with small yellow croakers. It seems that he has made a lot of money over the years.
Although the amount was not comparable to what was taken away, it was still a considerable amount of property at the time, which further confirmed his guilt.
I no longer cared about what happened to Xue Fugui. I just felt that the things I knew now were connected and becoming more and more confusing. I was afraid that I would forget it later, so I wrote down everything I knew with a pen in the space study.
Before I knew it, it was already mid-March 1974. On that day, I received a letter from the newspaper. In addition to the translation fee, there was also a letter sent at the same time, which contained an invitation. I happened to be at the post office, so without thinking too much, I immediately called them to confirm.
The answer I got was that there would be a national-level competition in mid-April, and the country would send people abroad to participate in the competition. At the same time, accompanying translators would also have to be deployed as soon as possible.
Because I have been translating articles for such a long time, my accuracy and efficiency are particularly outstanding, which is also the reason for this invitation.
After arriving in Beijing, everyone will have to undergo screening and training. Finally, the list of accompanying personnel can be determined. I was not very interested in this thing at first, but when I heard that the first stop abroad would be the country of cherry blossoms, I immediately changed my mind.
Given the national conditions, going abroad is unlikely, and food and accommodation after going abroad is also a problem.
It has always been her dream to be able to go to the Land of Cherry Blossoms openly. The simplest reason is that there is a grandma waiting for her to "visit" over there.
After finalizing the time, I started going home to prepare, and I still needed a suitcase. Try to leave enough for the other elderly people as well. I don't know how long I will be there. The newspaper said that if everything goes well, I will go to the United States later. The whole trip will take about four months. In this case, there would be nothing wrong with keeping the amount for four months.
In addition, he also went to the residences of Wuying, Wuxi, Wuji and Sinan. Also warned them. I go to my backyard on time to take care of the vegetable garden, and regularly deliver vegetables, fruits, chicken, duck, meat and eggs to the elderly on both sides. Also left behind was a small portion of the large pile of bills that his brothers had given him when they came, as well as a hundred dollars.
The purpose is to make sure they take good care of the elderly, and try their best to prepare food and drink or any other needs they have. If we calculate, there should be enough for the people in the shed in the next few months.
When explaining the situation to the elders, the grandfather also had a look of understanding: "Granddaughter, this competition should be the 'National Ancient Martial Arts League' held every four years. There will be some prizes in the competition, which are very coveted.
But a further step is to discover where the strength of each country lies. The victory or defeat of this competition is not only related to personal honor, but also involves national impact.
China is still in the process of development. If it can stand out in this competition, the country will also receive certain attention in many other aspects, and will have the opportunity to apply for the next competition.
The last time, it was the United States that won, but the United States and the Sakura Country have been allies for a long time, which led to the situation this time.
Based on distance, some countries that are close to the Cherry Blossom Country and can participate in the competition will first go here to participate in a similar knockout competition. The winning country will then go to the Beautiful Country for the final.
The purpose of all this is to help the development of the Country of Sakura. It is not clear what kind of agreement they have reached that would allow the host country to adopt the method of dividing the competition venues according to the hosting regulations.
This method was originally intended for some small countries. Hopefully they can use this event as an opportunity to develop allies as well. ”
This is actually understandable, but it is not clear how many countries will go to the Sakura Country for the knockout rounds.
Grandpa continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will go to Beijing this time as a contestant.
The strength of the Guwu family is there. Their competition is divided into age groups: one group is ten years old (inclusive) and under, one group is eleven to twenty years old, and the last group is twenty-one to thirty years old. To achieve victory, strength and luck are essential. And your being a new face is also a big factor.
The most suitable person under the age of ten in the Ancient Martial Domain is A Zhan. The children in other families are too young. In the age range of 21 to 30, Mulan and Jincheng are both suitable. The only tricky part is the middle age group. ”
