Chapter 10: The Bookstore's Harvest

After half a month, she saw Julie again, she warmly welcomed Chen Yuanyuan into the door and asked the nanny to get two glasses of juice and send them to her room. When she arrived at Julie's room, Chen Yuanyuan did not shy away from changing into the tights and dancing shoes she brought, while Julie lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

"You don't get tired of studying this and that all day long." Chen Yuanyuan looked at Julie who was lying on the bed and didn't want to move.

"Of course I'm tired, but I like the feeling of being busy." Julie returned a little lonely.

Chen Yuanyuan heard her helplessness, maybe her parents were often not around and felt uneasy.

"My parents are going to send me to elementary school next year, what about you?" Julie was rolling on the bed boredly.

"I plan to finish the kindergarten class and then go to elementary school." Chen Yuanyuan pressed his leg and replied.

"You're going to stay in such a boring place?" Julie asked as she rolled over and leaned on the bed seriously.

"You forget that I am still a year younger than you, and it is difficult to accommodate elementary school at the age of five." Chen Yuanyuan felt that he was really helpless when he was young, and he was restricted everywhere.

"Well, then I'll start teaching you what you need to learn in elementary school, how about we go to nursery for another year, and then skip a grade in elementary school?" Julie felt a little dry in her throat, so she sat up and shouted to the babysitter to hurry up.

"If you have time to rest more, just lend me books, you know, I read books faster." Chen Yuanyuan felt that the leg press was almost over, and got up and sat on the chair in front of the piano.

"Then it's settled." Julie took the strawberry juice from the nanny and couldn't wait to suck it through a straw, her eyes narrowed, and she felt satisfied.

"Does your dad have an entry-level French book in his study?" Chen Yuanyuan also took the strawberry juice, signaled the nanny not to straw, took a sip, felt good, remembered the last time he saw a whole shelf of French books in Julie's study, and asked with some expectation.

"Dad said those books were outdated, so he sent me new ones some time ago." Julie put down the empty cup in her hand, found it under the bed, and laboriously pulled out a stack of books tied with rope. Seeing this, Chen Yuanyuan got up and walked to the front of the book, untied the rope, picked up the top book and flipped it over, this is a French grammar, or a hardcover version. Julie also looked at it curiously, and after looking at it twice, she felt confused, and muttered, how can it be the same as English.

Chen Yuanyuan knows that Julie's progress in learning English is very slow, and she is a little better than herself in her previous life, but Julie has an advantage, Julie, who is already studious, plus a patient tutor, is no worse than those gifted students (compared with Chen Yuanyuan, it is far worse). Chen Yuanyuan didn't get involved in helping Julie learn English, she knew that she was now talented and fast, not necessarily suitable for Julie, and her teaching level was really not good (I taught Julie some time ago, but I didn't understand it, but Julie knew the importance of English in the future, so she communicated with her parents and found a tutor).

"Aren't you practicing the basics?" Chen Yuanyuan, who was buried in the book, raised his head and said to Julie who was lying on the bed.

"Okay." Maybe she had been lying down for a long time, and Julie, who was a little drowsy, got up and looked for clothes in the closet.

"Come with me, aren't you here to urge me to learn dance?" Julie changed her clothes, looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who was still reading, blinked, and said with great interest.

looked back at Julie with a smile on her face, and reluctantly got up to help Julie press her legs. Don't look at Chen Yuanyuan's own effort, Julie can't do it herself, she has to be assisted, and usually the nanny helps.

Not long after, the nanny came to inform that the piano teacher called and said that she would come early today and asked Julie to get ready. Julie loves music, so she is very passionate about learning piano and has no resistance. Julie was busy preparing things for piano lessons, Chen Yuanyuan saw that it was still early, and he was not in a hurry to leave, took the book he had just read, pushed the rest under the bed, and walked to the living room, sat on the sofa and read. The nanny cleaned up Julie's room and poured Chen Yuanyuan another cup of coffee (Chen Yuanyuan had drunk it a few times when she had been here before, and she had become very fond of this taste in her life).

When he finished the second cup of coffee, it was getting dark, Chen Yuanyuan did not disturb Julie, who was still practicing the piano, and got up to say goodbye after putting down the book. When I got home, I was really in time for dinner, although my uncle's family and her lived in the same yard, but we ate alone. Home-cooked food, the amount of food is full, and Chen Yuanyuan eats very much. After eating, Chen Yuanyuan returned to his room, the room was not big, there was a bed and a set of tables and chairs, there was still a little open space, and there was no decoration or anything. In the past, there were sundries here, but Chen Yuanyuan fought many times to persuade her grandparents to turn this place into her room.

Chen Yuanyuan moved the foot of the bed against the wall, revealing a stack of books under the bed, which were Japanese books, and because she couldn't go to Aunt Wang's house often, she borrowed the ones she hadn't finished reading. I don't know what my grandparents have about learning Japanese, but the older generation came from the anti-Japanese era, and it's normal to have radical behavior.

I have almost memorized the basics of Japanese, but I am far from using it in real life, and I need to gradually accumulate it in daily life if I want to go further (I am surrounded by Japanese speakers). English was the most advanced, and although she didn't practice speaking, she found a job where she could build her English vocabulary. It all starts with the money you owe for the first time you bought a book.

The old man was quite curious about her learning English at such a young age, so he simply asked two sentences in English, Chen Yuanyuan replied fluently, although the pronunciation was not so accurate, but it had already surprised him, so he asked Chen Yuanyuan about the progress of his study, and then got the reply that he had read the book almost, the old man went into the room and took a piece of paper with the upper half of the Chinese sentence and the blank half of the lower part to Chen Yuanyuan, so that she could translate it. Chen Yuanyuan first read it roughly, and there were many words that she had not memorized, so she borrowed an English-Chinese dictionary from the old man, pulled a stool, sat down and began to translate. It didn't take long for the translation to be translated and handed to the old man. The English words are written quite neatly.,There's no crookedness in writing because there's no grid.,English grammar is still very proficient.,But there are still some deficiencies in individual places.,Overall, it's still very good.。

"Little girl, do you want to find a job and earn some money?" The old man spoke.

"Yes, but I still have to go to school." Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while and said, she felt that she had some money, and it would be very convenient to buy things in the future.

Sun Guoliang (that is, the name of the old man) gave her the job of translating some simple Chinese sentences into English (Chinese to English), and the money given was not high, and she was given one yuan (the price of a lollipop) after the translation on a piece of paper. Chen Yuanyuan did not compete on the price, but put forward a condition, that is, after the translation was completed, Sun Guoliang would give a comment, and tell her how to correct the mistake. Sun Guoliang agreed, but only gave written corrections (just like a teacher correcting homework), and did not give verbal explanations. Chen Yuanyuan thought this was not bad, so he agreed.

Sun Guoliang gave her ten sheets of paper that were the same as just now, and told her to finish the translation as soon as possible. Chen Yuanyuan thought it was a challenge, so he put aside his Japanese studies for the time being. It turned out not as difficult as expected, except for a few words that had been somewhat forgotten and had to be turned into the dictionary. The translation process went smoothly, but it still took two days for ten sheets of paper.

On the fourth day, he went to the bookstore to make a business, but Sun Guoliang was not surprised, because what he gave was the simplest. His English level is very high, although he is retired at home, but there will be some people who ask him to do some translation work, he plans to hand over the simple one to Chen Yuanyuan to translate, exercise this child, and he can be lazy.

The translation is not bad, Sun Guoliang thought so, so he went back to the house and took about twenty more sheets and handed them to Chen Yuanyuan, and told her to come back next time to pick up the corrected materials, and also paid Chen Yuanyuan the money.
