Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Just when Gu Nuanyi was about to give up, she saw a notice posted outside the newspaper office. She stopped and took a closer look. It turned out that they were recruiting translators! !

This is a job that requires real skills. Gu Nuanyi had an idea, parked her bike and walked in.

"Hello, comrade. Are you still hiring translators?"

Hearing this, an elegant middle-aged man in a Mao suit came out from behind the desk and said, "We're still hiring, little girl. Are you applying for the position of translator?"

"Yes!"

The elegant uncle took out an article in English from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Gu Nuanyi: "Sit there and translate an article for me! The price will be different for different translation levels."

Gu Nuanyi nodded, sat down and read the article carefully before starting to translate.

The elegant uncle nodded in agreement when he saw Gu Nuanyi translate the article smoothly without any pause. When he saw the translated article, he was even more satisfied.

"Your translation is really good! Where are you from?"

"I'm from the second brigade," Gu Nuanyi handed over her ID card.

The elegant uncle checked Gu Nuanyi's ID and said, "My last name is Han Pengcheng, and I'm the president of this newspaper. Do you know anything else besides English?"

“I also speak German and French!”

Han Pengcheng smiled more sincerely: "That's great, we are in need of German and French translators! Here is an article in German and French. If you can translate it, we can discuss the remuneration."

Gu Nuanyi quickly translated the two articles. Han Pengcheng read them carefully and said, "Your translation skills are quite high. Do you often read foreign books?"

Gu Nuanyi shook her head: "There is a teacher in our school who is very good at English. Seeing that I am interested in foreign languages, the teacher taught me a lot, but unfortunately..."

Han Pengcheng also sighed: "Your level is good, I can give you 10 yuan per thousand words as a remuneration, of course, there are also some welfare receipts"

"So, should I come here to translate it, or can I take it home and translate it and then bring it to you?"

"It's all right, whichever is more convenient for you!"

"Then I'll take it home and translate it! I'll bring it back to you when it's done!"

"Okay! Wait a minute, I'll give you the books to translate." Soon, Han Pengcheng came back with three books: "Two German books and one French book. Just hand them over within two months. Also, this is your translator certificate."

Gu Nuanyi put the books and certificates into her crossbody bag and walked out of the newspaper office happily. It was a pleasant surprise to find a job with flexible working hours.

After returning home, Gu Nuanyi put away her things and couldn't wait to take out a pen and paper to start translating.

Gu Nuanyi was still excited. She only ate her meal in one gulp before sitting back at her desk and starting to translate.

It took Gu Nuanyi only three days to translate a German book, but the excitement faded away.

Sometimes I get up to peel some chestnuts, sometimes I go to the yard to chop some firewood...

It has been another 10 days since I finished translating the second book.

After writing the last word, Gu Nuanyi touched her nose a little embarrassedly. She finally found a job, why did she always want to slack off...

Then I thought again, they gave me 2 months, so I just need to hand it in on time.

The more Gu Nuanyi thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and she started to slack off with a clear conscience.

Gu Nuanyi didn't want to live such a hard life, so she found a job to make money.

Gu Nuanyi spends 4 hours a day on translation, and spends the rest of the time doing things she wants to do.

Ten days later, Gu Nuanyi had finished translating the last book.

The next day I took the book to the newspaper office.

Han Pengcheng looked at Gu Nuanyi in surprise: "Comrade Gu, I didn't expect you to be so quick!!"

"There is not much farm work to do in the brigade now, so I have more free time."

"Okay, we'll remit the money to you after we've checked the books! Do you want to take a few more books back this time?"

Gu Nuanyi turned her head and looked at the sky outside: "The snow is getting heavier. How about I take a few more books this time? It will be difficult to get out once the road is blocked."

Han Pengcheng nodded and said, "I just flipped through it. Your translation is pretty good. I'll make an exception and let you take a few more copies back."

After leaving the specific remittance address, Gu Nuanyi took the five newly-given books and left the newspaper office.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some candies, peanuts, melon seeds, cakes, etc. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and these things are indispensable for New Year greetings and gifts.

I also stopped by the coal station and bought 50 kilograms of coal.

After buying things this time, Gu Nuanyi doesn't plan to go out again before the New Year.

The snow was heavy, so Gu Qianjin organized people to start clearing the snow. Of course, this was all paid with work points, 10 work points a day.

At the same time, Gu Qianjin also shouted on the radio: "Every household should remember to sweep the snow frequently, especially the snow on the roof. Sweep it more diligently. If there is any problem with the house, please repair it as soon as possible."

After the broadcast, Gu Qianjin and the brigade secretary went door to door to check and find out all the problems.

Gu Qianjin said seriously, "Don't take this lightly. You will know when it snows heavily. If the building collapses, you will be dead or not!!!"

Then he walked to another house and said, "You should replace the thatch on your roof. It's rotten!!!"

When inspecting Gu Nuanyi's house, Gu Qianjin reminded her worriedly: "You must sweep the snow frequently, okay? Don't underestimate the light snow. When it accumulates to a certain level, it can really crush the roof."

Gu Nuanyi said seriously, "I understand. I will definitely sweep the snow every day!!"

"Well! Be careful when sweeping the snow!!!" After saying that, Gu Qianjin continued to inspect other places.

After a night, Gu Nuanyi opened the door and was shocked: "It's only one night!!!"

In just one night, the snow in the yard was already up to the calf.

"No wonder the captain has to check every household. This amount of snow might really collapse the house~~~" Gu Nuanyi didn't have time to wash up, and hurriedly swept the snow out of the yard to clear a path for walking.

After cleaning, Gu Nuanyi was immediately warmed up: "What kind of hibernation is this? I still have to exercise every day..."

When Gu Nuanyi swept the snow off the roof, it directly covered the road that had just been cleared...

Gu Nuanyi put her hands on her hips and glared at the snow in front of her, saying angrily: "I have to clean it up again..."

Sweeping snow every day has become a necessary exercise for Gu Nuanyi
