I have a Magical Door [MTL]

Ch 9

Chapter 9 

After changing into sandals, Yan Tingxin stepped into the sand again.

The warm, dry sand wrapped her little feet, itchy, the sand was full of sunbathing, fluffy and soft, and there was a loss of hot jio.

Fortunately, the temperature in the scenic spot today is not particularly high, and the temperature of the sand is not particularly hot.

Now this slightly hot temperature is considered a pedicure.

Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, I'm here!

Moon Spring is a naturally formed spring in the shape of a crescent moon surrounded by desert.

Mingsha Mountain is a sand mountain around the Crescent Spring, and it is named 'Mingsha Mountain' because the sand in it has a resonant sound.

From ancient times to the present day, the crescent moon spring in the desert has never dried up, like a miracle.

People built pavilions and pavilions next to the crescent spring, and circled around the crescent spring, the spring water is close to the side of the pavilion and pavilion, and the dense green Luobu hemp water grass, dry willow, and sand date trees grow, and the other side is only a guardrail, which is sandy.

Yan Tingxin couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the tenacity of the green trees and weeds in the desert, as well as the magic of nature.

Standing by the spring and looking around, there are sand dunes.

Climb up the tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the crescent spring, compared to other lakes, the area of the crescent spring is not large, only 20 acres, the spring is not too deep, but due to seasonal changes, and the water source is sufficient to dry up and other reasons, it is not necessarily maintained 20 acres of fixed range, and fixed depth.

After walking around the Crescent Moon Spring twice, Yan Tingxin decided to climb Mingsha Mountain.

From a distance, she saw a string of tourists, climbing up an almost straight line, with faint straight lines on the sand.

When I got closer, it turned out that there was a rope ladder on the slope of the sandy mountain, and the section where she had just walked from the crescent moon spring was quite difficult to walk in the sand. But stepping on a rope ladder can be leveraged, and climbing the dunes is not so strenuous.

The rope ladder leads directly to the top of Mingsha Mountain, and when you step on the rope ladder and look up, as far as the eye can see, half of the bottom is sand, and the top half is the blue sky.

The ridge of Mingsha Mountain separates the earth and the sky in people's sight into two parts, and the rope ladder leading to the top of the mountain is like climbing the ladder, so that you will have a belief in your heart, climb to the top of the mountain, you can touch the blue sky, and your heart is infinitely shocked.

Step by step, he finally climbed up the rope ladder to the top of Mingsha Mountain, Yan Tingxin was so tired that he gasped, sat on the hot sand, opened the potbelly cup, and took a sip.

I'm tired, I'm tired.

The view from the top of the hill is very beautiful.

Several mountains of Mingsha Mountain encircle the crescent moon spring at the bottom of the valley, and the spring water reflects the sky.

This small spring has not been covered by quicksand for thousands of years, no matter how hot the sun is, how arid the surrounding environment is, and the stars are moving, it has never dried up, and the clear water is sparkling, and it is a magical oasis in the desert.

There is a song that praises the beauty of the crescent moon spring, and the picture described is very poetic.

"Just over there in the sky, far, far away

there is a beautiful crescent spring, which is the mirror of the

sky, the

eye

of the desertA paradise bathed in stars. The

white clouds were long, a gust of wind blew, and the sand hit Yan Tingxin's face.

Yan Tingxin's eyes couldn't be opened, he squinted and spat out sand.

Oh! No!

There was a tourist whose hat was blown away by the wind, screaming and chasing down the hill, chasing the hat.

The sunset reflects the desert, and the other side of the top of the mountain is still a wide range of desert landscapes, and the sand ridges can be seen in the Mingsha Mountain, which is clearly angular and angular, and under the sunlight, the two sides of the sand ridge show different shades due to the obscuration of light.

At dusk, the scenery is good, there are many people watching the sunset on the top of the mountain, and the desert is full of 'flying fairies'.

- Tourists wearing the skirts of the flying fairies and taking pictures.

Running down the sand mountain from the top of the mountain is a very exciting thing, and the sand mountain she climbed looks quite steep, perhaps 40 degrees (?) She wasn't too dimensional, so she couldn't quite determine the exact steepness.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a sandboarding project, which needs to be charged separately, 20 yuan a time.

Yan Tingxin deliberately went to play, and the moment he sat on the sand and slid down, it was too exciting, but the beautiful sandboarding time was too short!

There was a family group to travel, and asked Yan Tingxin to help take a few group photos.

The children in their family specially brought toy excavators and toy shovels to play, and Yan Tingxin built a sand castle with the children in a leeward place under the reflection of the sunset.

The scenic spot is open until 8:30 p.m., and she almost plays until the end of work.

Took a shower and had sand in my hair.

I felt like I was going to be paralyzed.

I fell asleep early, and I have to get up tomorrow to watch the sunrise.

Set an alarm clock at 5 o'clock, and after a simple wash, you can reach the Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area in one second from the city.

In the morning, the sky is not yet bright, only the lights of the scenic spot, there are many tourists, staying in tents, or surrounding B&B hotels, deliberately got up early in the morning to see the sunrise.

She traveled with a few tourists.

There was no light around the dunes, so flashlights and mobile phones were used to illuminate them, and everyone endured the sleepiness and cheered each other on.

Finally hike to the top of the mountain to witness the sunrise.

Tired! But it's worth it.

At this time, the sand dunes are black, and sitting on the top of the mountain, you can see the black silhouette of the back of the sand dunes in the distance.

At the junction of the sand dunes and the sky, a ray of orange morning light is revealed, and the orange gradually turns to gold, and then blends with the deep blue-black sky.

Little by little, the orange light slowly rose, the beam changed, and the sky gradually brightened, revealing a small part of the golden sphere, reflecting the silhouette of a string of camels carrying people chasing the morning light on the top of a mountain not far away.

The golden sphere gradually rose, revealing a semi-circular sphere of dazzling golden light, until it fully rose into a bright and dazzling sphere.

The sky changed from dark blue-black, to dark blue, and then to light blue.

The halo of light around the sun circles and reflects the golden glow on the sand, which is beautiful.

Collected the sunrise, went home and simply took a shower and came to the company.

Good morning and new day!

For the remaining two days, Yan Tingxin came to Mingsha Mountain every morning and evening.

She rode a camel and swayed in the desert for forty minutes.

Step barefoot on the sand and feel the softness and warmth of the sand.

changed into a red dress, put on a selfie stick, put on sunglasses, waved a scarf, and took intimate photos with the sunset in the yellow sand.

Walk through every inch of the pavilions and pavilions next to the Crescent Spring, and walk through the passage in the middle of the dense water and grass of the Crescent Spring.

Every time I climbed the mountain, I was super tired and covered in sand, but after every high exercise intensity, I slept very deeply at night.

......

All the manuscripts of the travelogue were collected by Daniel on Monday, and they were sent to the review department for the first proofreading.

I met a deadline, and the next week was not very intense.

The travelogue is a publication, and according to the publication regulations of their translation company, it needs to be proofread three times and finally returned to Yan Tingxin's hands, and then checked the manuscript handed in by himself, and finally Daniel, the project manager of the English group, or other powerful translators and reviewers, controls the quality of the whole translation, or polishes, and finally submits it to the publishing house for printing.

When Yan Tingxin asked Daniel to send the final proofread manuscript to the publisher, she helped her bring a copy of the note to the publisher by the way, and asked the publisher to bring it to the travelogue author.

"Mr. Wu, in the second paragraph on page 100, you mentioned an unforgettable food you had during your travels in Switzerland, with the softness of potatoes, the spicy spice of onions, the salty aroma of bacon, the sour taste of cheese, and the peculiar smell of leeks.

A friend told me that the food was called cholera pie.

Hope it helps. (#^.^#)"

......

At the end of the month, the contract expires, and it's time to renew the lease and pay the rent to the landlord.

Yan Tingxin looked at the news of the landlord's reminder on WeChat to renew the lease.

She blinked, this time, could her life be a little different?

For her, she shares a house with others for as long as she graduates.

When you get up in the morning, you have to grab the toilet to wash, when you get off work, you have to grab the toilet to take a shower, and on the weekend, you have to grab the washing machine to wash the sheets.

Living with strange roommates is always inconvenient.

Sometimes I will meet roommates who don't like to be clean, and they don't wipe the kitchen clean when they use it; Sometimes I run into roommates who stay in the toilet for half an hour in the morning rush hour; Sometimes I run into roommates who rub on daily necessities; Sometimes I run into roommates who bring my boyfriend home for the night; Sometimes you run into roommates who go to the wrong room...... Living in a shared house can be fraught with many worries.

But she had no choice but to share a house, there are relatively few one-bedroom houses in this city, and even if she can find it, with the location here, the cost is more than twice that of her current shared apartment.

She only has a few thousand dollars a month, how can she be willing to use most of it to support the landlord?

I really envy the natives of the city like the landlord, or the demolition households around the city, or the predecessors who came to the city very early, when the house price did not grow, and they accumulated the original capital early and owned one or more houses. How far away is owning a house for young people?

How many people dream when they were young was that I wanted a house?

Even with the magic of any door, she still couldn't afford to buy a house.

But she could choose to rent a house somewhere else!

For example, in the farther suburbs, the houses are big and cheap.

I didn't choose that kind of place before, because the commuting wife was too far away.

Right now?

- Let's go and see the house now!

After getting off work on a weekday, she looked at the house for a few days, and finally, she fell in love with a one-bedroom apartment in the suburbs, which sat north and faced south, facing the atrium, with a large balcony in the living room and a row of long windows in the bedroom, which was very well lit.

Sitting on the balcony or sitting in front of the bedroom window, you can see the crown of the large tree in the atrium, and the building density of the community is low, and the environment is quiet and not noisy.

This is Yan Tingxin's dream love room.

I asked the landlord about the price, and the monthly rent was exactly the same as the price she was now squeezing into a few square meters of rental cottage and sharing a house with several people.

Instant heartbeat!

However, the only regret is that the landlord of this house insists on annual payment and does not accept quarterly or monthly payment.

Fixed price, 20,000 yuan a year of rent.

The card is stuck here.

There are still a few months to two years after graduation, Yan Tingxin is in the rising period of the workplace, the salary is not high, the first year and a half saved a deposit of 50,000 yuan, an average of 1,500 a month, plus a year-end commission.

At the beginning of the year, she subsidized the money to her mother to buy a house in her hometown.

Now in the past few months, I have saved some and spent some more, and the total amount of money in my hand is only 15,000.

If she rents a house according to the previous monthly payment, she will be able to meet her expenses and continue to save.

But if she pays a year's rent in one lump sum, she will have to go into debt and drink the northwest wind.

What a penny is hard to beat a hero!

It's not that she didn't think about choosing a farther and cheaper place to live. She doesn't care about traffic at all now, she wants to live in Switzerland, she wants to live in Norway without any problem.

If you only consider the price, the farther away from the city, the cheaper the house, and most of the houses are very cheap in the 85th-tier small cities. In the news, a suite in a certain post is only tens of thousands of yuan.

But she chose to continue to live in a rented apartment on the outskirts of the city where she worked.

Because in a familiar environment, people can feel safe.

She is essentially a girl who is not too bold, she will be afraid of encountering thieves, she will be afraid of encountering unpredictable dangers. In this city, she at least has some friends, at least who know where this place is, and can protect herself in the process of reading.

Let's settle for the next best thing and look at the other houses.

Keep working and save money!

......

A few days later, my colleague Rebeca returned to the company, sitting in a wheelchair with a plaster cast on her leg, and came to thank Yan Tingxin: "Grace, I suddenly fell ill a few days ago, thank you for stepping forward and helping me take over the work."

Yan Tingxin was slightly stunned when she saw her wheelchair, and remembered another person.

"You're welcome. Rebeca, are you okay? I only know that you called in sick, but I don't know your physical ......" didn't know that she had reached the point where she was in a wheelchair with a cast.

Although they are colleagues, they are not familiar enough, and others ask you what is wrong when they ask for leave.

Workplace Workers, Who Doesn't Have Privacy?

Leave should be explained to the manager and superiors, who is willing to repeat it to colleagues, and there is no need to ask for the consent of colleagues.

Rebeca: "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally stepped on the air, and the little finger skull of my left foot cracked, don't touch that piece, just sit and recuperate for two months."

Yan Tingxin: "That's good." You have a good rest during this time, please feel free to let me know if there is anything you need my help with.

Rebeca: "Okay, you're welcome. I came today to hand over to Daniel and other colleagues, and it is inconvenient for me to commute to and from work now, so I applied to the big boss for a period of time to work from home, translate from home, and do not delay the progress of work. If there is any discussion, I will come back to the company.

Yan Tingxin: "Well, that's fine." After 100 days of broken muscles and bones, you can recuperate and recover at home.

Rebeca: "Grace, speaking of which, your translation speed has improved, my part, Daniel gave you all the part, and you actually completed it in one weekend."

I originally asked Daniel on WeChat to see if there was anything I needed help with, and I endured the pain and translated remotely at home.

Unexpectedly, Daniel told me that it was done, and praised you on WeChat.

Your translation speed is really fast.

Thanks to you, I can rest assured that I will take a few more days off.

Yan Tingxin: "It's okay."

Rebeca: "Honestly, did you use any new translation software?"

Yan Tingxin said: "Don't you allow me to work hard secretly and then surprise everyone?"

Rebeca: "Wow! Roll King!

Rebeca looked around, no one was paying attention, and whispered to Yan Tingxin: "Grace, there is a translation job, do you have time to pick it up?"

Yan Tingxin's eyes widened slightly, and he came to the spirit.

This is Rebeca's private work for her, a lot of private work in the translation industry is introduced by others, she has recently been worried about the problem of paying rent in the year, and it is the moment when she wants to make money the most!

The drowsiness came, and someone handed me a pillow.

Yan Tingxin: "Expand and talk!" Rebeca

: "There is a Kota who wants to go to Europe to play, but he doesn't know English, and he needs to find an interpreter to play with, 3,000 a day, a total of seven days, and he earns 20,000. Including food, accommodation, and transportation, you don't have to spend a penny, and you can also go abroad to play. How's that, heartbeat or not? "

Generally, interpreters play together, and the market price is seven or eight hundred a day, and they will be discounted at a price slightly lower than the market price, such as the friendship price.

Only professional international conferences and forums will ask for an escort and interpreter who will give a price of 2,000.

In addition, translating a conference requires a lot of advance preparation, and it is also necessary to understand the technical vocabulary of the meeting, which is very brain-intensive and energy-consuming. Many times, one person is not enough and several people need to take turns interpreting.

Therefore, 3,000 interpreters going abroad to play with them is a very high price.

If she can take this job, her rent for one year is just enough.
