The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 84, Remuneration and Villain Books

Courtyard No. 98, Chen's house in the middle courtyard, basement.

Chen Guohua stood in the basement, looking at the fried dough sticks still filled with rich fragrance in his hand, his face filled with joy.

Obviously, the fried dough sticks that have been left out for a day or two are still exactly the same as when they were put in before.

In this way, the rice and other things he put in were the same as when he put them in, and they were still the same when he took them out.

In a word, it will never go bad!
This is really great news.

Since it is good news, then you can take a little risk and buy more rice, pork, etc.

And there is no need for any bacon, just buy raw pork.

Even if Chen Guohua was more ruthless, he could go directly to the production team on the outskirts of the city and purchase a few big fat pigs.

After being taken to the deep mountains and old forests for slaughter, they were directly put into the space ring, and everything was fine.

When you need to eat meat in the future, it will be much easier.

However, if you want to go to the countryside on the outskirts of the city to purchase big fat pigs, you obviously need to disguise yourself.

And what other things like letters of introduction, buyer’s certificates, etc. are needed.

Well, take your time.

There is no rush now. Prepare money so that you can buy rice, flour, pork and other supplies when the time comes.

The next day, he returned to work in the factory. In the middle of the morning, Liu Changan came over to inform him.

The royalties have arrived!
At the same time, Section Chief Liu invites you!

What did Section Chief Liu invite him to do?

Chen Guohua was silent and could only follow Liu Changan to the administrative department.

When he arrived at the Administrative Section, Chen Guohua noticed a phenomenon. There were also many new faces in the Administrative Section.

And it’s similar to the design department, where most of the people here are lesbians.

"Comrade Liu, have you added so many people in the administrative department? It seems that I will be freed by then and no longer have to work as a part-time translator."

Hearing his laughter, Liu Changan quickly smiled bitterly and said:
"Translator Chen, this will definitely not work."

He thought it was Chen Guohua testing him, so he quickly denied it.

What's more, the Administrative Department is not only responsible for translation. All matters of the BAIC manufacturing plant, large and small, are handled by their Administrative Department.

In the future, there will be a large factory with more than 6000 people, and there won’t be too many things to do.

The administration is the logistics manager, and they need help with everything.

"There are only a few of these new comrades who are assigned to our translation team, and as you know Guohua, translation is not that simple."

For many freshly graduated college students, let alone direct translation, whether they can do the most basic work well is a big problem.

Translation between bilingual languages ​​has a great relationship with the basic knowledge points, cognitive aspects, and reading amounts of the two languages.

In the original time and space, when Chen Guohua was in college, he passed the eighth-level exam. After interviewing at a translation company, he only practiced as an intern for less than half a month before running away.

too difficult.

Hearing Liu Changan's words, Chen Guohua smiled and did not continue talking.

Coincidentally, I happened to arrive at Section Chief Liu's office at this time.

In the office, Liu Changyou was busy reviewing documents. When he saw Chen Guohua knocking on the door and entering, he quickly raised his head and smiled to say hello.

After a few brief greetings, Liu Changyou directly explained the situation.

"That's right, Xiao Chen, I heard about your translation manuscripts in the past six months."

"The quality is very high. The five yuan remuneration I gave you for a thousand words of translation is no longer worthy of your status."

"So I applied to my superiors, and Secretary Duan agreed to increase your royalties. From now on, your royalties will be eight yuan per thousand words."

hiss!
When Chen Guohua heard this, he suddenly felt a toothache!
Although he is very short of money now, because the 2000 and two hundred yuan saved at home are actually reserved for Chen Xiaoyue and the three sisters.

A large part of the three sisters' sense of security comes from those deposits.

And he himself knows that he has the ability to make money, so there is no need to use that money.

The people of this era are not the young people of future generations.

Under normal circumstances, deposits will not be used easily.

Even if the family has money, they will save it.

Therefore, Chen Guohua pretended that he didn't have the money, and he would make money to buy food and so on.

So he needs money, and naturally hopes that his salary income can be higher.

But, after all, it was still too high-profile.

With his mind spinning rapidly, Chen Guohua hurriedly checked the biological hard drive in his brain for the royalties information of this era.

Sure enough, he soon discovered a fact.

In the history of the original time and space, in July of [-], the Ministry of Culture promulgated the first formal and unified regulations on royalties.

Although this "Interim Provisions on Remuneration for Literature and Social Science Books" is only a draft, and it was only launched on August [-]st, it was only put into trial operation in Beijing and Shanghai.

Translation royalties are no different from today’s royalties.

However, in October, some people advocated reducing royalties.

The main reason is the writer’s royalties, which are too high!
Many people are unbalanced!

For example, Chen Guohua, even if he is paid three yuan per thousand words for translation, if he translates full-time and slowly translates in a month, he can still complete the translation of thirty to forty thousand words.

This means that his monthly income is 120 yuan.

Compared with ordinary people who generally only have a salary of 40 to 120 yuan, a salary of [-] yuan is still too high.

What's more, many writers, like young people like Xia Kewei, are more ruthless and write a 40-word novel in two months.

Even according to the minimum standard for author remuneration, which is four yuan per thousand words, the income is still one thousand six hundred yuan.

The gap between rich and poor is too great.

Therefore, those writers who propose lowering royalties have vested interests and are also afraid.

That’s why he proactively proposed to reduce his royalties.

After October 50.00th, the royalties will be reduced by [-]% on the original basis.

Even so, by 1960, the royalty system was abolished.

Although royalties have nothing to do with Chen Guohua, it also illustrates the preference for writers in this era.

Especially five or eight years ago, writers were definitely a small group of people who had the most comfortable life.

It's no wonder that a young man like Xia Kewei appears.

"Leader, this is too much, and I think five yuan per thousand words is already very high. You are still increasing my remuneration."

Chen Guohua immediately declined politely.

But Liu Changyou waved his hand and interrupted:
"Xiao Chen, you have to follow the crowd and obey the organization's arrangements."

In order to tie Chen Guohua to his chariot, Liu Changyou also risked his life.

What's more, Chen Guohua's ability is worth the price!

There are also several senior translators in the administrative department, such as Mu Chunhua and others, and their remuneration is eight yuan per thousand words.

But the quality of their translations is not even as perfect as Chen Guohua's.

Therefore, what Liu Changyou said is correct.

Follow the organization's arrangements?
Chen Guohua was silent, this old Liu was really good at persuading others.

This sentence seems to have little power, but it is a threat in disguise.

Although Chen Guohua was not very scared, after all, there was someone behind him.

But there is a saying that the king of hell is easy to deal with but the devil is difficult to deal with.

Although Liu Changyou is definitely not a brat, he can definitely cause trouble for Chen Guohua when he is disgusting.

Just be kind to others.

What's more, within a few months, the royalties will come down.

It’s just a good time to make some extra money and store food during these few months, perfect!
More than ten minutes later, Chen Guohua left the administrative department with more money from the last manuscript in his pocket.

Liu Changyou directly paid the author according to the standard of eight yuan per thousand words.

Anyway, this is the company's money, not his own money, so of course he doesn't feel bad.

The total is 1 words, and the manuscript fee is 96 yuan.

In addition to this royalties, Chen Guohua also has [-] words of manuscripts in hand.

It was an instruction manual for newly purchased machinery and equipment. There were several types of equipment, all imported from foreign countries.

This thing is not purchased with RMB, but replaced with food and other things.

Although the mainland rarely trades with foreign countries, it does not mean that the mainland does not have foreign exchange earnings.

A few companies representing the mainland, such as China Resources Corporation, are stationed in Hong Kong Island and other places.

For example, in the export of safety belts, China Resources Corporation acts as a middleman to assist in exporting to foreign-funded enterprises.

In the design department office, as Chen Guohua returned, Meng Xiaochan and the others surrounded them.

I curiously asked Chen Guohua about the manuscript in his hand. What should he translate this time?
Chen Guohua had a perfunctory chat with these curious babies and then started teaching.

A basic encyclopedia of automotive professional knowledge, compiled by Tong Guangxu and Ren Dianyuan, professors at Beijing Institute of Technology who returned from studying abroad.

This is a professional basic book on automotive technology.

When Lao Chongguang let him see it, he was full of disgust.

The knowledge inside was vastly different from the automotive technology in the biological hard drive of his brain.

However, he still read it carefully and studied hard.

The main reason is that he has a too one-sided understanding of the automotive technology of this era.

Therefore, having such a book would allow him to understand the car theory of this time and space more quickly.

It took him less than three days to fully master this knowledge.

But Meng Xiaochan and the other eight lesbians will probably need more than half a year.

Near noon, Chen Guohua ended today's lecture, got up and left the design department.

Back in Courtyard No. 98, the three sisters had prepared meals.

Dongshitiao Street Primary School, where Chen Xiaomei attends, is less than two kilometers away from Courtyard No. 98.

In addition, elementary school usually ends at [-]:[-], so she will get home earlier than her elder brother.

While eating, Chen Xiaomei suddenly asked in a low voice if she could go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some extracurricular books during the weekend?
I have finished reading the extracurricular book I bought last time.

As soon as she finished speaking, her second sister immediately glared and said:

"You just know how to spend money randomly. Don't think I don't know. You just want to pester your elder brother to help you buy those villain books, right?"

"Huh, you've learned a lot since you moved to the city. You wouldn't have clamored for these things before."

Chen Xiaomin, who originally wanted to echo and support her third sister, was now like a quail, immersed in her work.

Second sister, you are so fierce!

Chen Guohua watched with a smile while picking up vegetables and eating, with no intention of participating in this topic.

The three sisters are quite interesting.

For example, the second child is very economical and willing to learn tailoring skills.

Although she bought the sewing machine only half a year ago, she has already mastered the sewing skills.

Whether it is Zhao Yuzhi or Aunt Wang and other neighbors, every time they come to borrow a sewing machine, Chen Xiaoyue will be there to ask for advice or observe.Because of this, her skills grew very quickly.

But she also has shortcomings, that is, she doesn't like reading books, but she also likes to play.

Every time I asked her to memorize books or something, she would be lazy.

Only when her eldest brother forced her to do something, would she be a little more attentive.

The third child likes to read books, but she prefers to read short stories.

Books are one of the few commodities that currently do not require a ticket to purchase in the mainland.

Therefore, as long as you have money, you can go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books and bring them back.

However, this book is just for entertainment, and it doesn't teach much knowledge.

Naturally, Chen Xiaoyue will be very annoyed.

Although the family still has more than 2000 yuan in savings, their eldest brother's monthly salary is more than 100 yuan.

In the past six months, their eldest brother's income has reached [-] to [-] yuan.

But all their eldest brother's money was used to buy food and daily expenses in the basement.

According to their eldest brother, the family must have more food in storage.

Otherwise, once something big happens, it will be difficult to handle.

More than ten years ago, the Central Plains experienced a great famine, and refugees at that time flocked to the capital.

The capital city at that time was also very difficult.

Therefore, in order not to starve to death, it is necessary to store more food.

Instead of spending all this money on buying villain books.

Chen Xiaoyue, who was five years older than the third child, spoke with a crushing attitude and a scolding tone, so the third child was naturally unable to resist.

When she was almost done with the training, Chen Guohua smiled and said:

"Okay, brother, if you don't like reading, don't stop your sister."

"I just got paid today. In two days' weekend, we will go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books about villains."

"But, third child, you have to promise me that you won't get two hundred points in the final exam, and you won't be able to read any more novels during the summer vacation."

As soon as these words came out, the two children, Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaomin, immediately jumped up and were extremely excited.

There is a villain book to read!

But Chen Xiaoyue was immediately discouraged: With such a big brother here, how could she teach two naughty younger sisters?

That afternoon, Chen Xiaomin informed Wang Aidi and several other friends about the matter.

The eyes of these little brats all shined: Your elder brother is too kind to you, right?
Chen Xiaomei also told her classmates about this matter, but she was reported by a jealous classmate.

"Teacher, Chen Xiaomei is reading the little book in class!"

Good guy!
Chen Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned red and she gritted her teeth at Liu Yurong, the classmate who reported her.

"Teacher, I don't have one. I didn't bring the little book to school. How can I read the little book in class? If you don't believe me, teacher, you can look in my school bag."

However, what stunned Chen Xiaomei was that there was actually a little book in her schoolbag.

"Chen Xiaomei!!!"

Deng Shujia was so angry that he picked up the little book called "Pegasus Tracking" and threw it directly on the table:

"Teacher thought you were wronged just now. How do you explain it now?"

At this moment, Chen Xiaomei came to her senses after being yelled at by the teacher, and suddenly started crying aggrievedly.

"I don't, this is not my book, woo woo"

She is still young and gets nervous easily when things happen.

How can you think so much?

"Let your family come to me tomorrow, huh, you don't learn well at a young age!"

Chen Xiaomei cried even harder when she heard that she was going to call her family.

But it was a done deal, and she couldn't do it without shouting.

After school that afternoon, she was the last to arrive home, much later than usual.

The other friends in the same yard as her have already arrived home, but she is still lingering outside, not wanting to go home.

When she got home, her eldest brother and second sister were already waiting for her at home, and even her younger sister was sitting aside obediently.

This is a three-chamber trial!

"Why did you come back so late? Did you cause trouble outside?"

"Second sister, I."

"What are you, did you take the little book to school? Did the teacher catch you?"

Chen Xiaoyue stood up angrily, looking even more angry than at noon.

If the other kids in the yard hadn't told her about it just now, she would still have been kept in the dark.

Unexpectedly, my sister actually brought the little book to school.

And it was confiscated by the teacher of their class.

"I've told you a long time ago that you can't take little books to school. How did you promise me?"

A little book is not very expensive.

For example, the copy of "Pegasus Tracking" confiscated by Deng Shujia was sold for [-] cents.

However, this is not a question of whether it is expensive or not.

But it’s embarrassing!
People in this era have great respect and admiration for teachers.

The teacher's status is also very high. Otherwise, Fan Xinhe would not have prepared so many gifts just because he wanted to invite Chen Guohua to help his two unfilial sons tutor their homework.

Although there are reasons why Fan Xinhe is extremely optimistic about Chen Guohua and wants to invest in Chen Guohua.

But it is more respect for the teacher Chen Guohua.

It is natural for teachers to reprimand students.

"Second sister, that little book is not mine. I was wrongly accused."

Chen Xiaomei argued aggrievedly.

Hearing this, the second child became even more angry and was about to speak.

But her eldest brother spoke before she did.

"You said that the little book is not yours. What is the name of the little book that was confiscated by your teacher?"

Chen Guohua is very confident about his memory.

"It's called Pegasus Tracking. I haven't read this book at all!"

Hearing this, Chen Guohua suddenly narrowed his eyes and said:
"Tell me the whole story, starting from when you went to school this afternoon."

The third child explained the matter very honestly and clearly.

Although the key points were often missed, her eldest brother briefly asked a few questions and the whole story was explained clearly.

To put it simply, she had a bad relationship with her classmate Liu Yurong in class.

Although Chen Xiaomei transferred here only this semester.

But this semester was almost over, and the quarrel between her and Liu Yurong had to start with the Little People Book.

At the beginning, Liu Yurong was the most popular person in the class.

Because her family had money, they bought her a lot of villain books.

With such a powerful tool as the Little Man Book, those little brats all admired and please her.

After all, little people's books are just little people's books. Not to mention children who are seven or eight years old like to read them, even children who are four or five years old also like them very much.

But not long after Chen Xiaomei transferred to another school.

She also came into contact with Little People's Books, and once after her eldest brother paid his salary, she mustered up the courage to mention it.

Unexpectedly, her eldest brother actually bought her a dozen villain books.

After all, more than ten villain books cost only two or three yuan, which was not expensive for Chen Guohua.

With so many villain books, Chen Xiaomei quickly became the second most popular person in the class.

As a result, the jealous Liu Yurong couldn't stand it anymore.

Especially this time, her family did not agree to her buying the little book.

On the contrary, Chen Xiaomei is going to Xinhua Bookstore this weekend to buy Little People books.

In a fit of anger, she reported Chen Xiaomei.

She even took out her old book "Pegasus Tracking" at the instigation of other classmates to frame Chen Xiaomei.

After Chen Guohua understood the whole incident, he pondered for a long time and said:
"Okay, then I'll go to school tomorrow afternoon."

After a pause, he continued:
"Although you were wrongly accused, if you hadn't been too arrogant and showed off everywhere, would such a thing have happened?"

"Don't be too high-profile, especially when it comes to things like this. You are happy yourself, but you didn't think about whether others would feel uncomfortable?"

"Every time I bought meat from home, was I always careful?"

"There were many times when the meat was cooked in the basement and then served to eat. Have you not forgotten?"

Although these great principles may not be truly understood by the three little ones.

But Chen Guohua must teach them.

Youdao is influenced by what they hear and see. As time goes by, they will more or less understand these truths.

Luo Liba said a lot.

The third child also nodded in understanding, feeling relieved at last.

"Are you still feeling aggrieved?"

Looking at his sister, Chen Guohua asked funnyly.

I saw Chen Xiaomei shaking her head, and then nodding pitifully, a little at a loss, so cute.

"Don't feel wronged, eat well, and don't do this next time."

After comforting the little one, Chen Guohua went over the incident from beginning to end with the three sisters.

"Brother, does that mean that I can't wear new clothes in the future?"

Chen Xiaomin was immediately puzzled.

Since the third sister was punished by the teacher because she showed off that she was going to Xinhua Bookstore to buy novels on the weekend.

Doesn't that mean that in the future, she won't be able to show off her new clothes, new shoes, and fun things in front of her friends?

"Haha, that's definitely not the case."

After touching the little guy's head, Chen Guohua smiled and said:
"Just keep a certain degree of control in everything."

"It's like our family has two pounds and four ounces of pork and two pounds of beef and mutton every month, but we eat more than that every month, right?"

"Have you forgotten? Whenever our family eats bacon or sausage, is it stewed?"

"And after eating, I told you not to tell anyone about this, remember?"

The little guy nodded in understanding, and Chen Guohua chuckled.

It doesn’t matter whether you understand or not.

Anyway, when they grow up, they will understand his good intentions.
