Chapter 38： Translation Unless the sow can climb the tree.

Since Su Xiaoman moved the sewing machine into her house last time, Xu Yanlan started thinking about buying a radio. She grinded it in front of her husband and children for a long time, and then asked Xie Lao Er and Xie Yaozu to coax her grandson Mei finally coaxed Sun Mei into resignation and promised to add a radio to their home.

After she bought the radio, Xu Yanlan was very embarrassed. Before moving into the house, there was a riot in the village. Within half an hour, everyone in the village knew that the Xie family had bought a radio.

Many aunts and children who were watching the fun followed into Xie's house to watch this new thing.

"Is this a radio?"

"Let's hear it everyone!"

"Take it to the mountain when you go to work and let everyone hear it."

"Your Xie family has really developed recently."

…

The people watching the lively outside the Xie's yard formed a circle, all waiting to see the rare radio. Sun Mei was in the room and did not come out. Thinking of the price of this radio, She felt heartache.

When it was so painful, she even remembered Xu Yanlan.

This prodigal woman is getting wilder and wilder.

Su Xiaoman bought a sewing machine before, which was also refurbished, and this Xu Yanlan, who pushed the second child and Yaozu, made a radio, that's okay, the radio consumes batteries Yes, batteries cost as much as stepping on a sewing machine, it's all money, it's all money.

It was all her money.

You must teach the second wife a lesson.

of. "Don't be messy, take it easy, listen to it by the side, what? Take it to the mountain, you come to buy batteries, don't you think it doesn't cost any electricity?"

Xie Sansao Zhou Xiaohui looked at her coldly, but her heart was getting colder and colder.

Some time ago there was an accident at her parents' house and she asked Sun Mei to borrow money. Sun Mei was reluctant to take out ten dollars, but now she is willing to take out the money to buy a radio.

"Go and go, people won't let you listen, go and go, that is, listen to a loud, sing iron block."

"These babblings are boring to me, old man, come and scream."

"Walk around and listen to your howl."

At this time, the radio was playing a drama, or an old model drama, which was not interesting. After watching the liveliness, the people in the village left Xie's house.

Xu Yanlan took the radio back to her room with her second child. She plans to listen to the radio with her husband and children at night in the future. She must turn down the sound to the lowest level. Listen, you must beg her.

She clasped her arms triumphantly, playing the abacus very shrewdly.

Sun Mei came out of the room at this time, saw Xu Yanlan, and instructed with a cold face: "Second daughter-in-law, go and wash the clothes that you have changed."

Xu Yanlan was stunned, "Should I go wash?"

The men's dirty clothes in the family have always been washed by the old family or the third family, and it is never her turn to wash.

Most of the old fifth's clothes are washed by himself, Xie old man, second and third need their daughters-in-law to wash clothes. I can't stand it, especially the clothes of Old Man Xie and Old Third Xie.

You can smell it just by speaking.

After Xu Yanlan married into the Xie family, except for the first few months, she never washed any clothes.

Now Sun Mei actually asked her to do the laundry...

Sun Mei glared at her, "It's not that you wash who you think you wash? Are you not the daughter-in-law of the Xie family."

Xu Yanlan retorted: "She didn't wash Su Xiaoman!"

"It didn't cost you a penny to marry Su Xiaoman, or you spit out your son."

Sun Mei is now bound to need this prodigal woman to do housework, accustomed to her, bah, slap her nose on her face.

Xu Yanlan had to go to the well to wash the men's stinky clothes, and when the second Xie came back, she complained to him aggrievedly, saying that her mother actually let her do the laundry, "I'm married here. I haven't washed my clothes a few times in such a long time."

Second Xie went to Sun Mei after listening.

Sun Mei just came back from the educated youth station, when she ran into Jiang Yantang on the way, she was very happy at the moment, but when she came back, the second Xie was in front of her with Xu Yanlan.

In the past, the second Xie was her favorite and most eccentric child, because she felt that he was the most like her and the best among her sons, and she also learned a little better than the villagers. Culture, He deserves to be favored by himself.

But now... Sun Mei found out that she has a better son, and that is her youngest son who has been separated for many years. Her youngest son is now from a good background and is highly educated, even in the city The educated youths who come here are all very outstanding. Compared with Jiang Yantang, Xie Lao Er was also compared. They are completely different from clouds and mud.

Jiang Yantang will be able to go to university and work in the city in the future, while Xie's second child is just a temporary substitute teacher in a village elementary school.

So Sun Mei scolded the second Xie with her head and face: "You are ashamed to tell me this, why don't you go to work to earn some work points and eat plain rice at home, Yao? Zu is going to be ruined by your husband and wife."

Being scolded by Sun Mei for no reason, Xie's second child shivered indifferently. Sun Mei used to favor him in various ways, but now she is picky about him.

It seems that the radio thing really angered Sun Mei, and even he was angered.

Second Xie scolded Xu Yanlan, that stinky **** in her heart, because she was arguing about buying a radio, so let's take it now!

He doesn't care, it's not him who has to do things anyway.

Xu Yanlan finished her work and waited until night with the radio in her arms. The family of three was in the room, and no one from the Xie family came to knock on the door curiously.

No one wanted to listen to her radio at all.

Sister Xie went to bed early with her three children, and Sister Xie was about the same. Sun Mei and Old Man Xie were not interested in such fashionable things, while Xie Mingtu and Su Xiaoman, both of them were still reading and helping Translate articles.

Xu Yanlan listened to it for a while, but also found it boring, so Xie second listened to the voice of the female announcer on the radio and nodded unconsciously, imagining that it should be a very beautiful and moving young woman .

"Manman, do you want a radio?"

.

Su Xiaoman shook his head, "Let's talk about it later, let's read the book first in the evening."

Xie Mingtu nodded and continued to copy the pages in his hand.

Su Xiaoman looked at his distracted look, and was very curious, and couldn't help but ask: "Second sister-in-law and the others are using the radio now, can you hear it?"

Xie Mingtu put down the pen in his hand, paused, and said, "I can hear you, Manman, do you want to know what it is?"

Su Xiaoman smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't listen, but you have to take it easy when you listen, don't learn some weird things."

An ear like Xie Mingtu can really take advantage of it.

Su Xiaoman also really wanted to experience this feeling of being a good ear. Today, I saw Xu Yanlan's proud look all day. Now no one cares about her radio.

I want people to beg her to listen, but Xie Gouzi can listen directly.

Nowadays, many stations on the radio play either news, or music and movies, as well as all kinds of model plays.

I was afraid that Xie Gouzi would secretly learn love songs to sing to her.

Xie Mingtu wondered: "Something weird in ancient times?"

Su Xiaoman nodded, "Don't mess around with your studies."

"Manman, I won't listen if you don't listen." Xie Mingtu picked up the pen and continued to write. If he was serious about one thing, he would filter out the noise outside.

Under the cool autumn wind, Su Xiaoman got together with him, one turned over the page to write the first draft, the other raised his eyebrows on the written paper, looked at the other party's font, and revised the sentence. change.

He read all the books that Xie Mingtu borrowed from Wang Huaixian, and Su Xiaoman saw him take notes on some paper, she also confirmed it, it was something she could not understand, it seemed It is beyond the scope of high school physics questions.

Su Xiaoman is a liberal arts student, she is not sure what level Xie Mingtu is now, and there is no paper to test him.

Xie Mingtu's current knowledge reserve is increasing day by day, even if he is not a big yard child, has no cadre parents, after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, he will definitely achieve excellent results and become the center of attention. A genius, he will become a leader in a field in the future.

No need to rely on any family background, only on his own ability.

The current Jiang Yantang is the well-known one, Xie Mingtu is just a villager in the eyes of outsiders, can the Jiang family accept such an extra child?

Su Xiaoman has such concerns because she has experienced it herself. She is used to her adoptive parents not caring about her, but her biological parents also...

It's better not to recognize it.

Su Xiaoman did not forget the description in the original book, saying that Xie Mingtu was not as good as Jiang Yantang in everything, and was far from Jiang Erji's behavior, and was disliked by the Jiang family.

But is Xie Mingtu really inferior to Jiang Yantang?

He's just not favored by those people, that's all.

At present, they still have to improve their skills and abilities to live a good life.

Su Xiaoman and Xie Mingtu went to Wang Huaixian with the translated manuscript. After reading it once, Wang Huaixian boasted to them, "Not bad, this level is a bit better than my previous students."

"Mingtu copied it." Speaking of which, Su Xiaoman couldn't help but admire their family Xie Gouzi, even when she was writing articles and copying things, it was easy to write a few wrong words , so that it was crossed out and altered, but this Xie Gouzi, unless she took the initiative to kiss him on the face and make him absent-minded, otherwise he would hardly make a mistake.

A very dedicated dog brother.

Attentive men are also the most attractive.

"I forgot to ask last time, are you two a couple?"

"Manman is my daughter-in-law." When faced with this kind of problem, Xie Gouzi would be the first to swear his sovereignty.

"Married?"

Su Xiaoman nodded, they are indeed married, although there is no marriage certificate yet.

"This translation is fine, you guys have helped me a lot." Wang Huaixian settled the translation fee of ten yuan for them, thanking them both for their help.

"Master Wang, if you have other needs, we can also help." The translation fee of ten yuan is not much, but for them now, it is also a reasonable and legal way to make money. good way.

These manuscripts involve many aspects of content, and you can increase your knowledge by reading them.

"It's a good feeling, I need to translate too many things here." Wang Huaixian also has the intention to let them earn some extra money and help these two talented children. They are in the countryside, so they can make some money Money is not easy.

"By the way, last time you didn't say you wanted to borrow books from the city library. I got a book borrowing registration card here. With the card, you can go to register to borrow books already."

"Master Wang, thank you so much!!" Su Xiaoman and Xie Mingtu were overjoyed.

Su Xiaoman originally planned to ask her second brother to help get a county library card, but now she has a city library card... You can also get another county library card, because a card You can only borrow three books at most, and Xie Mingtu can read books very fast. They don’t live in the city all the time. It’s very troublesome to borrow them. It’s better to borrow a few more books and read them all at once.

Also thanks to the help of the last time to get a few old sewing machines for the brigade, Xie Mingtu has been helping to repair tools and vehicles such as tractors from time to time recently. The people there are very kind to the couple I have a good impression, so the two of them's outgoing introduction letters are also very easy to get.

Leaving Mr. Wang's house, Su Xiaoman and Xie Mingtu took things to the city library, borrowed three books with fresh and warm library cards, and they both locked things in the public storage box Let's go for a walk in the city together holding hands.

It's just like an ordinary couple dating.

After all, it is a rare visit to the city.

He saw a lot of new things in the city, such as the beautiful sofa, the flush toilet and so on.

He wanted to give Manman Zhou a house like that before, but now his thoughts seem to have changed again.

.

Su Xiaoman stood on the side of the road, a little envious, Xie Mingtu asked her to wait in place, but he did not know where to go and borrowed a bicycle, parked in front of Su Xiaoman, and motioned her to sit up.

"Where did you get the car?" Su Xiaoman sat in the back seat and hugged Xie Mingtu's waist.

"Borrowed."

"How did you borrow it? Is the car so easy to borrow? People are not afraid that you will not return it if you borrow it?"

When she hugged her waist, Xie Mingtu unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.

"I told him that I want to borrow a car to coax my daughter-in-law. If I don't coax her, my daughter-in-law will run away."

Su Xiaoman thumped him on the back, and said angrily: "Do you want me to remind you? You don't have a wife yet."

I'm just you.

"Manman is my daughter-in-law."

"Whoever hugs me from behind is my daughter-in-law."

Xie Mingtu rode his car and his daughter-in-law across the ginkgo avenue full of fallen leaves. The coolness of the autumn wind blew on his face, which was refreshing.

He only wore black long sleeves. When Su Xiaoman hugged his waist from behind, he could easily feel his gradually plump abdominal muscles through the thin fabric. It's so hard that you can't even poke it.

Su Xiaoman was wearing a coat and riding on the car. When the wind blew over her head, the autumn wind blew all over her body through her cuffs, and she couldn't help but close her sleeves.

The whole person is like a large hot water bottle, emitting heat to the surrounding.

Holding each other's waist, Su Xiaoman put her cheek on his back, feeling a sweet and romantic feeling in her heart, she couldn't help laughing.

"Manman, it's going downhill ahead."

"Then be careful, if you fall on me, you won't be allowed to eat at night."

In addition to the documents that Su Xiaoman was holding in his arms, there was also an appraisal certificate.

They've got the results.

Before the two returned to Qiaoxin Village, they bought some malted milk essence, toffee and chocolate in the city. The fresh stuff like chocolate can also be bought in the city. Su Xiaoman peeled it off. He bought a white rabbit toffee and fed it to Xie Mingtu's mouth.

Xie Mingtu bowed his head and ate, frowning slightly, he felt a little too sweet.

"Why? Don't you like it?" Seeing his expression, those who didn't know thought it was a bitter pill, which was obviously sweet toffee.

Su Xiaoman likes to eat this fragrant and soft toffee.

"It's too sweet." Xie Mingtu said softly, "eat Manman."

Don't worry about getting fat.

This guy's flesh is very tight, and his body fat rate is low. Even if he has long flesh, he has tendon flesh and two long legs. She is envious of her. When You Qi came to her, his eyes couldn't help looking at his legs, and he couldn't control it.

It's obvious that their dog's face also looks good.

Just after eating a fragrant white rabbit toffee, Xie Mingtu no longer wants to eat candy, but as long as it is fed to him by Manman, how can he refuse?

The bitter chocolate melted in the mouth and turned into a thick sweetness, which seemed to be thicker and sweeter.

"Do you still want to eat?" Su Xiaoman shook the candy in her hand. She felt that Xie Mingtu had no chance to eat candy when he was a child. Now he will make up for his childhood regrets and eat a few more candies.

Xie Mingtu: "…"

"Man Man, I'll eat it."

Su Xiaoman smiled happily, "Okay, I'll feed you another toffee."

Xie Mingtu closed his eyes and nodded.

"As for it? It's not just eating candy, it looks like going to the battlefield." Su Xiaoman smiled and fed the toffee into his mouth.

Her teeth just left two imprints on the toffee, but she suddenly widened her eyes and her mouth was gagged, she opened her teeth, and her dexterous tongue rolled, soft and sweet The toffee is gone.

Su Xiaoman looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

"Didn't Manman say you want to feed me more candy?" The person eating the candy also explained his behavior just now.

"Manman, are you still feeding?" Xie Mingtu felt that if he could be fed candy like this every day, he would love candy for the rest of his life.

"No more." With a hint of sweetness in his mouth, Su Xiaoman stared at the man in front of him and kicked him on his calf, "Stinky dog, you have already learned badly. ."

"Manman, don't be angry."

"Stinky dog, carry me back."

The two returned to Qiaoxin Village. Instead of going to Xie's house, they went to Su's house first and gave Liu Shufeng the sugar and malted milk they bought to honor their mother-in-law.

Liu Shufeng was stunned when she got this package.

"For me?"

"Mother, try it, this is chocolate."

"

Liu Shufeng thought that her daughter and son-in-law, like that Zhang Lili, did not make money by buying and selling money, no, no, no, this is not good, if they are caught, then the whole team must be educated and reformed.

"You two, honestly, where did the money come from?"

Su Xiaoman gave Liu Shufeng a reassuring smile, and Liu Shufeng glared at her several times, "You still laugh, you still laugh, you don't know the seriousness of the matter."

"Mother, don't worry, this is the money your daughter and son-in-law earns rightfully." Su Xiaoman asked Xie Mingtu to show Liu Shufeng the bundle of bound foreign manuscripts, "We last time When I went to the city, I met an old professor who was a translator, helped him translate the manuscript, and gave us some remuneration."

"What?" Liu Shufeng was stunned, "Just you can help people translate?" Unless the sow can climb a tree.

Compared to the reason that Su Xiaoman found out, Liu Shufeng believed that she went to the market to sell it.

Seeing Liu Shufeng's expression of "I don't believe you", Su Xiaoman was very helpless, pulled Liu Shufeng aside and said, "Mother, let me tell you, Xie Mingtu is really powerful, He is a learning genius, do you know? Ordinary texts, he can memorize them after reading them two or three times. Although he has never studied foreign languages ​​in class, he can memorize them after turning over a few dictionaries..."

"If you can give him a chance to learn, no one from Jiang Zhiqing or Lin Zhiqing can compare to him."

"Mother, you picked me a husband with great cultural learning potential, and the old professor praised him." All the changes are not achieved overnight. Now Xie Mingtu has made rapid progress, and he will definitely be in the future. There will be great changes. Su Xiaoman plans to let Liu Shufeng know Xie Mingtu's talent first, so that she has a psychological expectation and prepares well in advance.

Hearing this, Liu Shufeng's expression became more and more strange, she was confused and unbelievable, as if she was listening to a book from heaven.

Is the sun out today? Why does it feel like a dream? The daughter and son-in-law in the dream came to her door and said a lot of things that she couldn't understand.
