If it takes a little longer, either the grass will be difficult to hoe, or the hoe handle will grind your hands.

On the way back, in the back seat of the car, she complained about blisters on her hands.

Fu Jingyou was disgraced, but he coaxed her with a smile and said he would go back and give her a pick and apply some medicine.

Lu Miao nodded.

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head after hearing this and warned her that she would not be allowed to come again tomorrow.

Even if I come here, I can't do anything to help. I'm just causing trouble.

The courtyard was in a mess, and Lu Miao didn't want to come.

But when Lu Yuanzheng lectured her, she was unconvinced and wanted to argue.

Fu Jingyou took her hand and squeezed it, "Dad is right, be obedient."

Lu Miao looked at him.

He continued: "Come back when it's almost done. When the time comes, you can sort out the details according to your preference."

Lu Miao nodded.

also.

She just finished translating the rest of the manuscript.

If everything goes well, I can translate a few more articles before enrolling in school and get some money.

Later, when the courtyard is tidied up, they will move to the West Second Ring Road.

There is an hour or two drive in between, and it will not be so convenient to make money by translating manuscripts by then.

Lu Miao was thinking in her heart.

Originally, I wanted to take care of Fu Jingyou's mood, so I translated a manuscript in a few days.

Considering the current situation, she changed her mind.

Fu Jingyou is busy right now, so she can arrange her work during the day...

Thinking this way, Lu Miao did just that.

Tang Mei loves to chatter, and sometimes she is not so strict.

Lu Miao is not at home either.

As soon as Fu Jingyou and Lu Yuanzheng went out in the morning, she packed her things and hugged her books and said she would go to the bookstore to read.

Tang Mei told her to watch the time and remember to come back for dinner at that time. She was afraid that she would delay her study if she talked too much, so she stopped talking.

Lu Miao finished translating the second manuscript at home and simply stayed in the translation library the rest of the time.

Director Ma temporarily set up a small table in his room for her to sit.

She was attentive when translating the manuscript and became familiar with various terms unique to newspapers and periodicals in this era, and her efficiency increased dramatically.

Director Ma saw it in his eyes and mentioned this new junior in private.

The courtyard of the Translation Library is only that big. News spread privately that the students from the junior class who came to help with chores in the courtyard liked to look at it quietly from the door and windows when they had free time.

Lu Miao rarely finds work for herself, but when she takes the initiative to find work, she must be dedicated to it.

She didn't notice the other people's looks.

Only when Director Ma occasionally called her to speak, she briefly raised her head to respond.

He is focused enough, serious enough, and his efficiency is guaranteed. Although he is not very old, he has extensive knowledge, no less than a few old scholars he knows...

The more he got along with Lu Miao, the happier Director Ma felt.

Director Ma had the idea of ​​​​supporting Lu Miao.

But before the words were spoken, that afternoon, after Lu Miao finished translating the monthly magazine and handed over the manuscript, he said:
"Director, the school is about to start school, and I will be moving there in the next few days. The distance between the two ends is quite far. I won't be able to help you with the translation later."

It's already the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and school will start the day after tomorrow.

As Fu Jingyou and Lu Yuanzheng said when they came back yesterday, the roof over there had been repaired and the kang had been rolled up too much.

Now I'm just waiting to sort out the details and buy the small items to move in.

In the past few days, Lu Miao has accumulated more than 80 pieces of various manuscripts.

Although I haven't gotten the money yet, I can't escape because I am next to Guoguang Bookstore and behind it is the National Translation Library.

Translating manuscripts is a job recognized by Lu Miao, and the salary is also considerable.

Not wanting to miss out on this personal connection in the future, Lu Miao didn't say too harshly:

"After I'm busy with the start of school, if there is a suitable deadline, I will come again."

Director Ma was slightly stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Miao looked a little nervous when she saw his expression:

"Is that okay? Director Ma?" Could it be that they don't accept mobile workers?

Think about it, many manuscripts need to be kept confidential, and if they are stable, others must be stable.

Lu Miao thought about it, just forget it and say something to end it.

Director Ma suddenly asked:

"Your school is also over at Xi Er, right? Which school is it from?"

"Military Region University."

"Military Region University!"

Lu Miao nodded slightly.

"You're going back to the city to go to university, so you don't have much money, right?"

Director Ma asked with a smile:
"I heard what you just said. As long as the time is right in the future, are you still willing to do this translation job?"

Lu Miao pursed her lips slightly and nodded again.

Director Ma laughed out loud, walked back to the table, took out a brand new envelope, took another page of letter paper, leaned over the table and started writing.

"I know Teacher Tan from the Military Region University. I will write you a letter of recommendation. If you still want to take up the translation job later, just take the letter to her directly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Miao quickly thanked:

"Thank you, Director Ma!"

It would be really convenient if the school could also accept the work of an interpreter!

"I want to thank you too!"

Director Ma smiled and said very cautiously:

"There are several translators in this hospital. You have been staying here these past few days, and I should have noticed that your time efficiency is the most stable."

"But even so, there are still piles of manuscripts that need to be translated."

"Comrade Xiao Lu, you are a good person. If you have the time, you should contribute more."

That’s it, it’s a bit overwhelming to say any more.

Director Ma took advantage of the situation and went over Lu Miao's translation today twice. After making sure it was OK, he called Sister Liu in and took Lu Miao to the accounting office to get the money.

Director Ma means that Lu Miao will move to the school soon.

Once the manuscript is reviewed and confirmed to be fine, I won’t delay paying her the settlement.

This saves her from having to turn around and run all the way over again.

But before Lu Miao left the house, Director Ma said again:
"Comrade Xiao Lu, after you receive the remuneration, come to my place again."

"Hey, I understand, Director Ma."

The counting house is also in the courtyard.

It's just a sealed hut.

Other houses have wooden window bars and large, bright windows.

The window in the accounting room is very small, and the window bars are made of iron metal.

Sister Liu led Lu Miao out of the window and reminded Lu Miao to hand in the list that the translation office usually writes down.

The comrade in the window took the order and immersed himself in the calculation.

Lu Miao stood on tiptoe and took a look.

Sister Liu looked outside the window and said with a smile:
"Did you hear that?"

"Ok?"

Lu Miao looked confused, and Sister Liu chatted with her:

"I heard that in the college entrance examination a year ago, there was a provincial champion from the south who didn't know how to calculate."

"..."

Lu Miao stiffened.

Sister Liu mistakenly thought that she was speechless about this matter, and continued happily:
"You said this person doesn't even know how to do abacus, how did he save the first place in the exam?"

"...Haha, yes."

Someone who didn't know how to use an abacus twitched the corner of his mouth and asked casually:

"Isn't this something that happens in the south? Sister Liu, how do you know?"

"Relevant comrades in the Education Bureau were all re-recruited in April last year. The college entrance examination has only been resumed after so many years. Many people are paying attention to it." (End of Chapter)
