Chapter 216

Li Qiao is embarrassed, the ready-made tutors are useless, and there is no such thing as a whole day.

Ma Hongxiang asked Li Qiao to study in the library in the afternoon, but Li Qiao refused because she had something to do: "I have other things to do, next time." She has already prepared the translation materials and is busy contacting the publishing house to earn manuscript fees .

Earning fifty yuan a month, plus allowances, is quite a high salary.

It's beautiful to think about it.

At the end of the morning class, Li Qiao prepared all the materials and came to Kyoto Publishing House.

The lobby is the office space, and she asked the young woman sitting at the door: "Excuse me, do you need an English interpreter here?"

"Do not publish books related to English translation."

Li Qiao was originally full of confidence, but he was very disappointed when he heard that, wouldn't his work be in vain if he didn't accept her? She patiently said: "What language do you publish books in?"

"Do you understand Russian? Do you understand Korean?" The young woman's tone was rather impatient.

Li Qiao pursed her lips, really not understanding.

She thanked and left to rush to the next family.

It is called Kyoto Library Press.

This time she was received by a woman in her forties, surnamed Wei, who was the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.

He has a square hairstyle, thick glasses, and a serious expression.

Li Qiao handed over the materials translated in advance to the other party.

Editor-in-chief Wei glanced at it, not mentioning the content first, the light words are pleasing to the eye.

She read it silently.

Be faithful to the original text, including technique, content and emotion.

However, it is a very good translation with appropriate additions, additions and deletions, out of the translation accent.

She nodded with satisfaction: "This translation is very good. I have one here, can you translate it on the spot?"

Li Qiao's eyes lit up. There is a play. "sure!"

Editor-in-Chief Wei took out a manuscript from the drawer.

After Li Qiao took it, he scanned it carefully, and after careful consideration of the wording, he translated it directly.

Sentences are natural and appropriate, accurate and fluent.

Editor-in-Chief Wei immediately decided to accept it: "What do you think of the price of 3.5 yuan for a thousand characters?"

Li Qiao secretly estimated that thirty-five yuan for ten thousand characters is not bad. "Does punctuation count?" It's a bit of a loss if it doesn't count.

"Forget it." Director Wei said readily.

Li Qiao agreed.

Director Wei immediately drew up the contract, printed and copied it, and handed it to Li Qiao: "Two copies, take a look, and sign if there is no problem."

Li Qiao browsed the contract, the delivery must not be overdue, and the payment for the manuscript will be settled on the 10th of the next month.

She confirms the contract and signs it.

Director Wei stamped the publisher's seal and gave Li Qiao a short draft: "Remember to hand it in next Sunday."

"Okay." Satisfied, Li Qiao passed by the mall on his way home, and bought Qin Jin a scarf, two sweaters, and one made of wool, which is light in weight and super soft, with the 30 yuan manuscript fee he received this morning. The relative price is also expensive, it costs 12.6 yuan.

Another cotton blend, much cheaper.

It's only three nine dollars.

She paid and went out.

There is an old pharmacy opposite the mall, and there are many people queuing at the door.

Li Qiao inquired curiously, only to know that the chilblain ointment produced by the old pharmacy is famous for its medicinal effects.

Winter is coming, everyone queues up to buy chilblain ointment for spare.

Thinking that the back of grandma's hands was always bruised and purple in winter, and sometimes red and swollen, she queued up and bought a chilblain ointment to ride home.

...

In the courtyard of the Qin family.

The old lady Qin was chatting with Jiang Wanqiu.

Sitting beside Jiang Wanqiu was a pretty girl.

"Qiao Qiao is back? What are you carrying in your hand?" Mrs. Qin said.

Li Qiao replied obediently: "Sweaters. Ah Jin's two sweaters are a bit stiff, and they probably won't keep warm. I'll help him buy two new ones and a scarf." She said hello to Jiang Wanqiu: "Grandma Xue Alright, hello young lady."

The delicate girl smiled shyly: "Hello."

Jiang Wanqiu said: "What young lady, you have to call me little aunt."

Li Qiao was puzzled: "Huh?" Little aunt? Oh, she understands, Professor Xue's object.

Professor Xue called Grandma and Aunt, but according to her seniority, she had to call him Uncle.

She immediately changed her words: "Hello, little aunt."

The girl smiled shyly and said, "I haven't written my horoscope yet. My name is Fan Feifei. I'm twenty-one this year. How old are you? Just call me Sister Feifei younger than me."

Jiang Wanqiu: "Sooner or later."

The old lady Qin thought, Miss Su Qing last time, aren't you very satisfied? Replaced it in a few days.

Ling Qing was also unlucky.

People spend all day studying in school, rarely go home, but have several partners.

Even the neighbors nearby knew about it, but they didn't think it was because Ling Qing didn't want to go on a blind date, but they said that he had a physical problem and found a lot of partners, and ran away within three days after getting to know him well.

Li Qiao went back to the room to put away the bag, then went into the kitchen to carry a thermos bottle to add tea for Jiang Wanqiu and Fan Feifei.

Fan Feifei said: "I heard from Aunt Qin that the paintings on the walls of your house and the ink paintings in the house were all drawn by you, and that you were the number one in the college entrance examination. That's amazing."

Li Qiao: "It must be great for you to go on a blind date with Professor Xue." Even girls with poor backgrounds can't catch Grandma Xue's eyes.

Fan Feifei smiled: "I haven't seen anyone yet."

Jiang Wanqiu's eyes rolled secretly: "Qiao Qiao, take Feifei to find your Professor Xue." The best friend is Mo Ruomu, the third child must be interested in Li Qiao, or why does Sufen say that she often sees the two of them reading together?

Sufen doesn't understand these things, but she knows it well.

Now ask Li Qiao to bring someone to him, maybe he can agree to the marriage she chooses.

Once a man has a serious partner, his thoughts on Li Qiao will naturally stop for the rest of the child's life.

Li Qiao secretly supported her forehead, no wonder Fan Feifei said that she didn't swipe her horoscope, so she didn't see each other face to face.

Grandma Xue wants her daughter-in-law crazy? She even asked her to call the other party's little aunt. He also asked her to take Professor Xue with her. Professor Xue was fine with her, but if she doesn't like it, can't you blame her for being troublesome?

If you are angry with her, what should you do if you don't counsel her in the future?

Why doesn't she find trouble for herself?

She tactfully said: "I just took a job in a publishing house, and the manuscript will be handed in next week. The time is very tight. Grandma Xue, you should go in person. Professor Xue is either checking information on the second floor of the library, or researching Room. Easy to find."

She finished and went back to the house.

Jiang Wanqiu chased her into the house: "What job did you take? It's hard for you to take care of your mother-in-law and grandma, and to take care of Ah Jin. Mr. Xiang, you too, how did you get into this situation?" She didn't forget to belittle Qin in her words. The old lady had a meal.

Old Mrs. Qin: "I didn't ask you to take care of me, so I'm making you anxious." She yawned: "I'm so sleepy, you can do whatever you want, I'll go back to sleep."

Jiang Wanqiu's face was a little uneasy, and it was obvious that she was ordering to evict the guest. She found a step for herself: "We have a barber coming to our compound today for a haircut, and I happened to go over and cut it. Feifei, let's go."

Fan Feifei responded.

The old lady Qin said politely, "Come and sit often when you have time."

"."

The old lady Qin sent Jiang Wanqiu and Fan Feifei away, and came to Li Qiao's room to inquire about her work, worrying that she would delay her study and let her drop it. "You're skipping a grade, writing a thesis, and working. Are you tired? I don't have enough money to spend on me." Ah Jin finished tossing the seeds, and stuffed a lot of pocket money into her hands.

In addition, I saved from selling knitting before.

Give the granddaughter-in-law 20 yuan a month.

Uninterrupted for one year.

Li Qiao smiled: "It's enough, the thesis is finished. I have no plans to write any more recently. I'm sure about skipping a grade, and now I have plenty of time."

Only then did Mrs. Qin dispel her worries. "It's cold in the room, please be careful." She turned around and wanted to leave.

Li Qiao took out the ointment bought for Mrs. Qin: "Grandma, this is for you."
