Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 51 Go Back
"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Bai Xiaowen accepted the money excitedly.

Still have to come to the provincial capital.

In big cities, there are many opportunities and opportunities to make money.

If it is still on the original land, how can we get so much money.

Zishui county is not enough, it has to be the provincial capital of Chang'an.

Director Lin looked at Bai Xiaowen very satisfied, and felt that he would definitely have a great fortune, "I never thought that my Qingshan nephew could make friends like you."

It's too powerful.

Based on his translation skills alone, and at such a young age, he will become a nationally famous translator sooner or later.

"You and Qingshan are classmates, Xiaowen, so you won't mind if I call you a good nephew."

"Of course I don't mind, I can't ask for it."

"Is my nephew married?"

"I got married a month ago."

"It's so fast, well, it's considered a miss, and I won't say anything."

I'm still a little curious about Bai Xiaowen getting married so early, and he's still in middle school.

But now those who are in middle school are sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years old, and getting married is also a normal thing.

Bai Xiaowen: "Yuan Shang's father betrothed me as a baby girl since I was a child."

"Now in the provincial capital, free love is popular among young people."

He is the director of the English Department of the Publishing House, and he is relatively clear about some situations of foreigners.

I have learned about free love and so on.

Chatted with each other for a while.

I took a few more sips of tea.

Bai Xiaowen once again took out a [-]-word manuscript.

"Director Lin, I still have a [-]-word manuscript."

Director Lin was even more stunned now.

In one week, translating [-] words is already a lot.

A very powerful person may be able to write more than 1000 words in an hour.

Even if it’s [-] words, [-] words requires five hours of concentration.

Twenty thousand words is ten hours.

He was still in middle school, wondering where he had found so much time to write.

Is it possible that you are writing during class?

A little curious, but didn't ask in detail.

Take the manuscript and look at it carefully.

The style of writing is about the same, and the standard is about the same.

He is the director of the English department, and he is also capable, so he didn't ask other editors.

I went straight to get another forty oceans.

"Another forty thousand words, forty oceans, keep it well."

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Bai Xiaowen was very happy on this day, and made 80 yuan in a week.

Plus the original dozen or so, now it is hundreds of dollars.

It's almost meaningless, I have to continue to make money.

I do translation work whenever I have a little spare time.

By next Friday, I brought [-] words.

Got 150 bucks.

Go directly to the bicycle business in the provincial capital.

The bicycles inside look like new guys, and they are all relatively delicate.

"Are you here to be an apprentice?"

The clerk looked at Bai Xiaowen and thought he was here to find a job.

There are relatively few people who buy bicycles.

After all, more than 100 yuan.

There are very few people who are willing to buy it, even people in the provincial capital.

On the contrary, Lu Zilin is more powerful and open-minded. He is very kind to his son and bought bicycles for both Lu brothers.

Over 200 oceans, it's really rich.

He probably embezzled a lot of money when he worked as the township leader of Bailucang No. [-] Security Center.

"Buy a car."

"Buyers, come in, bicycles are not cheap."

There are several brands of bicycles, all of which are foreign bicycles.

During the reign of Emperor Tongzhi, several bicycles were shipped from Europe and arrived in Shanghai, where they became novelty and luxury gadgets for rich families and foreigners.Bicycles at this time are just toys for the rich.

It records the emergence of bicycles in China and describes it as "people are like stepping on a scale, and the front and rear wheels are also connected, turning like flying, and people can walk smoothly".Very awesome.

More than 20 years ago, during the Guangxu period, many foreign companies introduced bicycles and parts to merchants for sale. At this time, bicycles were still a business operated by foreigners.

More than ten years ago, I started to have my own bicycle business, specializing in bicycles and spare parts.

Now there are many bicycle shops.

But bicycles are still a gadget for wealthy people.

If you want a bicycle in the countryside, you must at least be a big landowner or a wealthy family.

The employees of the bicycle business looked a little arrogant.

That kind of attitude is similar to that of the banks of later generations, like buying or not.

When Bai Xiaowen took out the money, his attitude became better.

Bought one for 130 bucks.

I almost filled in all the manuscript fees for my own translation before changing to a bicycle.

Bai Xiaowen was very satisfied.

For him now, having a bicycle increases his range of activities.

As soon as I finished buying, I immediately rode up to the original place.

The speed of a bicycle is about three times faster than that of walking.

But that's not how it counts.

The longer the distance, the more troublesome it is to walk.

I'm too tired after walking for a long time and I don't want to leave.

The walk from the provincial capital to Yuanshang probably takes six to seven hours or even longer.I'll be exhausted.

It takes two hours to go back to the original place by bicycle.Cycling is much more comfortable than walking.

At this time, the quality of the bike was very good, and the road conditions were not a big deal.

For others, you still have to practice riding a bicycle.

Bai Xiaowen rode away as soon as he got started, riding very fast.

He will in future generations.

Two hours later we arrived at Yuan Shang, and we could still catch up with dinner at home.

People from the village entrance saw him, "Xiaowen, you're back from the provincial capital."

The Lu brothers are also in the provincial capital, but they don't come back often.

Maybe I only come back once every few months.

"Xiaowen, the patriarch bought you a bicycle."

They knew that the Lu brothers had bicycles.

Lu Zilin bought it for me.

Lu Zilin likes to show off.

Without waiting for others to ask, he himself said that the bicycle costs about [-] yuan.

With so much money, I didn't expect Patriarch Bai to arrange it for his son.

"The patriarch's family must be rich. Lu Xiangyue bought one for each of his sons. Xiaowen is the only one in the Bai family who owns a bicycle."

Bicycles are rare on the original.

The Lu Zilin family had it before.

Other people just use ox carts, horse-drawn carriages and the like.

Didn't buy a bicycle.

Bai Xiaowen went back home.

"Father, mother, mother-in-law, Qiuyue, I'm back."

Greeted everyone in the family.

"I'm back. It's good to be back. I'll be gone for half a month. When will you leave? Stay a few more days."

"Leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"So fast."

"I still have to go to school."

If I don’t have a bicycle, I won’t be able to come back on weekends.

Little sister: "Father, you bought a bicycle for elder brother."

Bai Jiaxuan: "Where can I buy a bicycle?"

Little sister Bai Ling: "Look, it's right here at the door."

A brand new bicycle is parked in the yard.

Bai Jiaxuan also knows the value of bicycles.

Not to mention bicycles, he didn't even pay Bai Xiaowen's school tuition.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that it was Bai Xiaowen's own money.

Then I thought about it again, maybe it was the money given by his father-in-law. Mr. Leng's Chinese medicine clinic has been open for decades, and it is very easy to spend a few hundred yuan.
