The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 12 Translation

"I can speak English and Russian." Although Chen Xiaolin is proficient in four languages: German, Russian, English and French, during this sensitive period, she still does not intend to reveal all her trump cards.

"Will you translate this page for me?" Wang Bowen found an English book on the bookshelf and opened a page for Chen Xiaolin to translate.

Chen Xiaolin took the book and paper Wang Bowen gave her and began to translate.

In fact, Wang Bowen asked Chen Xiaolin to translate this book, which is a book about machinery. If Chen Xiaolin hadn't translated many books in her previous life, it would be difficult for her to pass the test today.

In about twenty minutes, Chen Xiaolin finished translating this page of the book. "Grandpa, I have finished translating this page, please take a look first."

Wang Bowen has been paying attention to Chen Xiaolin. He originally wanted her to quit before the difficulties, so he deliberately found a very professional book to translate for her. Unexpectedly, this girl was really powerful. He secretly After reading it, I found that the accuracy of her translation was really high, and there were basically no mistakes in translation.

"I've already read it. Your translation is correct and your vocabulary is really good."

"Then am I qualified for the job of translation?" Chen Xiaolin still hopes to get this job. Of course, it would be better if she can take the book back and translate it. When she returns to her hometown in Northeast China, she can also take the book back. Just wait until she finishes translating and then express it back.

"Yes, but the job of translating is not a formal job. You will not be paid with bills, but you will be paid one hundred to two hundred yuan for every book you translate." Wang Bowen first mentioned the bad things first, otherwise he will ask questions when the time comes. If he wants a bill, he can get it somewhere

"No problem, but I'm going back to my hometown in Northeast China in a few days. Can I take it back and translate it? I'll mail it back after I finish the translation, and then you can mail the new book to me. Of course! The postage is mine, and you can Do you think this is okay? "Chen Xiaolin doesn't care much about whether she has a receipt. In fact, she has no shortage of things. She will also have to work when she returns to the countryside. If she has work points, she will get food points, so whether she has a receipt or not does not matter to her.

"Okay, but you have to pay ten yuan for each book. If I can, I will get you started!" Wang Bowen took a form and handed it to Chen Xiaolin, looking at her expectantly. People who can translate now are really Too little.

"Okay, let me fill out the form first! You can bring me two books later." Chen Xiaolin took twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Wang Bowen, and then began to fill in the form attentively.

"By the way, fill in your hometown address here." Wang Bowen pointed to a blank space and asked Chen Xiaolin to fill in her hometown address, otherwise he would not be able to find the address next time he mailed the book.

After Chen Xiaolin finished filling out the form, Wang Bowen handed Chen Xiaolin the two books to be translated and two blank notebooks.

When Chen Xiaolin came out of the bookstore, she found that the sun was almost above her head. Chen Xiaolin looked at it and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. She didn't expect that she had stayed in the bookstore for such a long time.

She quickly found a deserted alley and entered the space, then went to the warehouse to get a 100-kilogram bag of flour, unpacked it, replaced it with a sack, and put more than 20 kilograms of beef in a snakeskin bag. More than twenty kilograms of pork and about ten kilograms of leeks.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaolin's space can see what's going on outside, otherwise she wouldn't dare to just find a place and enter the space.

Chen Xiaolin saw no one outside in the space, so she came out of the space with confidence. Carrying a basket of flour on his back and more than forty kilograms of meat and ten kilograms of leeks in his hands, he walked to the back door of the state-owned hotel in a swagger.

He Cuihong broke into a cold sweat when she saw Chen Xiaolin walking over so blatantly carrying such things.

"Sister, is this how you came here?"

"Yeah! What's wrong?" Chen Xiaolin came from modern times, so she didn't understand how dangerous it was to carry so many things strutting around.

"Aren't you afraid of encountering red armbands while carrying so many things?" He Cuihong looked shocked. This little girl is so courageous. She didn't expect that she would run away even if she was caught by red armbands with so much flour and meat in her hands. Don't fall off.

"Ah! I didn't think about the red armband. It seems I'm really lucky." Chen Xiaolin was also a little scared at this time. She was really too careless. It seems that she can't be so reckless in the future.

Let's move the things in quickly! Someone will be here soon." He Cuihong took the meat from Chen Xiaolin's hand and helped move the meat into the kitchen.

Chen Xiaolin followed He Cuihong and moved the flour in the basket.

Chef He saw what Chen Xiaolin brought over and found that there seemed to be a lot more flour.

"Your flour weighs more than eighty pounds, right?"

"Well, there are a hundred kilograms in it. You can make sesame seeds first! If you can't finish them, I'll take them away in the evening." There was no scale in Chen Xiaolin's space. Even the meat she brought here was estimated, so she didn't know if it would be enough.

Chef He went over and padded the meat again and found that there was a lot more meat. "Why don't I finish it for you! You have a lot of meat anyway."

"Okay, I'll give you six yuan for labor then." Chen Xiaolin didn't want her work to be in vain. Originally, she said she would pay five yuan for labor, but that would only make a thousand cakes. Now that there is so much more flour, she can make at least two. There are more than a hundred cakes, so you can't just take advantage of others.

"Yeah, that's okay." Chef He originally planned to suffer a little loss, but since Chen Xiaolin agreed to add labor to himself, he would definitely not refuse.

"Then I'll go back first. I'll be back at nine o'clock in the evening." Chen Xiaolin was almost hungry and planned to go back for lunch first.

Then walk slowly, Cuihong, take this little girl out." Chef He hasn't got time to make sesame seeds yet, it's still dinner time, and he still needs to help with the cooking.

When Chen Xiaolin returned home, she happened to meet Liu Aihong who came to find her.

"Aunt Liu, why are you here?"

"Xiao Lin! Where have you been today? I came to look for you this morning, but you are not here." Liu Aihong heard that Chen Xiaolin was going back to her hometown the day before yesterday, and she was always thinking about it. She was afraid that Chen Xiaolin would go back to her hometown to adapt. Not rural life.

"I went to the state-owned hotel for breakfast in the morning. After breakfast, I went to the bookstore to read for a while." Chen Xiaolin didn't want to tell Liu Aihong that she wanted to translate the book. She didn't want to tell anyone about it. After all, English translation is still a problem in this era. Sensitive work.

"Oh! I mainly want to come over and see you today. When do you plan to go back to your hometown? I will ask your Uncle Zhou to buy a ticket for you then." Liu Aihong has always been worried that Chen Xiaolin will not be able to think about it, but she has never had time to come over before. she.
