Chapter 140 70 Cannon Fodder Educated Youth 19
After dinner, the two sisters started to measure their sizes and prepare to make clothes. Xu Jianhong used the limited cloth and cotton to calculate and save the materials for two cotton-padded clothes, and also made a pair of cotton-padded shoes.
She also said that she only needed to prepare two more soles to make a new pair of cotton shoes for her. Xu Jianhong was very happy and pleased with the result of her careful calculation, which made Xu Xiaoxiao feel distressed and amused.
She enjoyed the care from her sister, just like when they were little, the two sisters spent the afternoon snuggling with each other! Xu Xiaoxiao refused her sister's invitation to stay for dinner and said goodbye to go back to the dormitory!
She had plenty of food and a big meal in her own space. She didn't need to fight with her sister for the few things she had! Her roommate wouldn't be back in the dormitory today, so she could have a big meal in the dormitory at night.
Alas, looking at the space full of supplies, she lamented that she could only eat secretly. This was not okay, she had to find a house and move out as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry to return to the dormitory. She went for a walk near their factory, using her mental power to observe the surroundings to see if there were any houses for rent or sale. Her ideal choice was a small, separate house.
But where can I find such a house? Xu Xiaoxiao walked around a few times and asked some people, but she couldn't find a suitable one. It seems that such opportunities are hard to come by, so she still needs to spend more time looking for a house in the future. Not only does she need to find a house, she also needs to find a job for her third sister.
After Xu Xiaoxiao's colleagues finished their previous work, they were free again and started a new round of gossip, knitting, reading newspapers and writing. She also slowly revealed it to her colleagues, asking if they knew where they needed to recruit workers or who wanted to sell jobs. If not, they could help her keep an eye out, and if they came across such an opportunity, they could tell her that her sister needed a job.
Her current salary from writing exceeds her salary from working. Although her colleagues know that she writes and sends it to newspapers, they don’t know how much money she earns.
But she still thinks that the speed of making money is too slow. If she encounters a suitable job opportunity and needs to pay for it, she will have no money. Although she is very rich, she had no money a month ago. Suddenly she got such a large sum of money. Isn't it telling others that she is up to something? She would rather slow down and avoid dangerous and troublesome things as much as possible.
When I thought about making money, I immediately started thinking about which industry in this era has jobs that are not against the rules, have flexible working hours, and make the most money.
After thinking about it, I thought of translation work. This is feasible. After all, she knows many languages. Although she only learns Russian in high school classes, isn't English something she taught herself? She has good grades and is self-taught, nothing wrong with that!
After work that day, I went straight to the largest bookstore, found the owner, and got straight to the point!
"Hello, boss, do you need someone to translate books?"
"Translator? Is that you? Little girl, you haven't even graduated from junior high school, have you?" The middle-aged boss who was reading a book adjusted his glasses and looked up and down at the little girl who was asking him questions.
"Boss, don't judge a person by his appearance. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm not professional enough. Just tell me whether you need me or not?" Xu Xiaoxiao answered confidently.
As for her figure, she was also very worried. After raising it for nearly a month, although there were some changes, the changes were not big. She was still the same shriveled matchstick with a big head and a small body!
She had almost no female characteristics. She had been drinking papaya milk every day, but it had no effect. The existence of a certain place could only be used to distinguish the positive and negative stages! She had no choice but to do something about her clothes and wear clothes that made her look fatter.
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand her dry, split yellow hair that was severely malnourished, so she went to the barber shop to have it cut short to the ears. But you can still tell that she is a little girl with yellow hair.
"Little girl, don't brag. Translation is not a joke. It is a very rigorous job. I'm not looking down on you or judging people by their appearance. This job requires a certain amount of experience, extensive reading, and accumulation of knowledge..." The boss still didn't quite believe that this little girl who looked like a bean sprout could do the translation job.
"Boss, you might as well let me have a try first. If it doesn't work, I'll go and learn again. If it works, you can use me. As the saying goes, you'll know whether it's a mule or a horse by taking it out for a walk. Don't you think so?" Xu Xiaoxiao also knew that her appearance had no persuasive power, and she could only rely on her strength to conquer the other party.
"Okay, just translate any article here first!" Seeing her arrogant and confident tone, the boss pulled out an English medical book from among the many books, intending to test her.
The boss didn't make it difficult for her. Medical books are not like novels. They involve a lot of professional terms. If you don't have a solid grasp of professional knowledge, you can't translate it. If she can translate this, then there will be no problem with other books.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the cover of the book and raised her eyebrows. There was absolutely no problem with it. She was a professional at this!
She took the book and some white paper to the table to translate. It didn't take long. In less than half an hour, she had translated one chapter of the book and handed it to her boss for inspection.
The boss took the translation handed over by Xu Xiaoxiao and checked it carefully with the article. The result surprised him a little. The checked article was very accurate, without a single word wrong.
He adjusted his glasses and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao carefully. If he hadn't seen the translation with his own eyes and the book was just something he picked up casually, he really couldn't believe that this was translated by the little girl in front of him.
"Little girl, have you studied Western medicine?" the boss asked Xu Xiaoxiao!
"Boss, I haven't learned it. I taught myself all these foreign languages!" Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She really had never learned this world, and she was not lying.
"Self-taught?" The boss was really surprised. Whose child would teach himself these medical English? If the little girl was not lying, she was really a genius.
The first time he saw the girl, he thought about her situation. The girl was not well dressed. She was thin and small, and it was obvious that she did not live in good conditions.
He thought that this girl was the offspring of a capitalist who had been trained since childhood and then criticized, or a student who had been persecuted while studying abroad. He never imagined that she was self-taught.
"Yes, I'm a self-taught person and I've been a quick learner since I was little, so I've always received scholarships in school, but I've already graduated from high school."
