After settling down in the new home, An Nan and Qin Hongwu moved in, they had their own rooms, and Qin Hongwu only came back to eat and sleep at night, so although the relationship between the two was dull, they were also peaceful.

Now it is 1985, and it has been several years since the reform and opening up, so doing business and the like is no longer speculation, and the economic market is gradually becoming weaker.

It is impossible for Annan to do long-term business, but short-term business is still okay, and now that the special economic zone in the south is booming, she plans to go there to resell some clothes, electrical appliances and other things to make the difference, and seize the time to make a lot of money and come back to concentrate on studying.

So An Nan told Qin Hongwu that her mother was seriously ill and she wanted to go back to take care of her, Qin Hongwu didn't care about the situation of her relatives, and he didn't know much about it, so he didn't suspect that An Nan was lying to her, so he gave her some money and let her go home.

The money given by Qin Hongwu was only more than 100 yuan, and the principal was a little small, so An Nan took the money and went to the antique street in the black market in Beicheng to pick up the leak, and doubled the principal tenfold, to 1,000, so he hurried up and took the train to the south.

went to the Southern Special Economic Zone to be a bad father for more than a month, and An Nan made a lot of money, more than 50,000 yuan, which is a huge amount of money in this era with an average salary of thirty or forty yuan per month, which is temporarily enough for her to support her living expenses in the first few years.

After more than a month of hard work abroad, An Nan is still dark and thin, but she is very happy, because there are many new English learning materials in the Special Economic Zone, with the development of reform and opening up, there are gradually more foreign businessmen who come to invest in China, so there are more times when translation is needed, whether it is translation or interpretation, in this era is a shortage of talents, so An Nan is very confident in his career prospects in the future.

She was already eighteen years old, and when she became an adult, she made a passbook by herself and deposited this huge amount of money, of course she would not tell anyone about this money, otherwise how would she explain how it came from?

An Nan "returned to his hometown" once, and brought back a lot of things in a large bag, and the people in the family building were very curious about what she brought back, but An Nan was not familiar with their relationship, so they didn't dare to come to the door to inquire, and An Nan was happy to be fine.

"How's your mother's illness?" Qin Hongwu asked politely.

An Nan suddenly felt a little weak, but fortunately she sent two hundred yuan back to her mother before, so she felt a little more at ease, but her face was very calm: "It's all right, I'm just coming back." ”

"Hmm" He nodded lightly, his eyes glued to the TV and he didn't even look at An Nan, obviously it was really routine and perfunctory.

The TV was bought during the month that An Nan worked hard in the Special Economic Zone, Qin Hongwu would watch the news for a while every day after dinner, An Nan thought that there were probably programs for teaching English on TV today, so he was also happy to watch Qin Hongwu's TV.

Originally, she bought a lot of English tapes in the special zone, and planned to go to the town one day to buy a tape recorder and come back to listen to them, but now she has an additional way to learn, and she is very happy.

"I don't work here, I have a lot of time, so I want to learn English, and I plan to be a translator or something in the future......" An Nan told Qin Hongwu about his plans, the two of them were under the same roof, and it was better to talk about it, so as to save him from being suspicious.

Qin Hongwu listened to An Nan's words, and was immediately shocked, his eyes shifted from the TV screen to An Nan, remembering that his stepmother seemed to mention that An Nan had dropped out of high school after only one year, and he understood what kind of level of English education in the countryside was, so he couldn't help frowning, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at her very suspiciously: "Can you still learn English?" Translation is not so easy to be! Don't just have a hot head, and then give up after three minutes, shame on you! ”

Seeing that he doubted himself for the first time, An Nan smiled angrily: "Don't worry! If you can't lose it, I've bought all the study materials, and I'll let you see if I can stick to it! If I can't become a translator in this life, I won't be human! ”

Qin Hongwu looked at the woman with a cold face and a small chest with almost no ups and downs as a guarantee, stared at his woman with his head held high and unconvinced, and snorted contemptuously: "Don't be self-conscious, others who have studied English in college for several years may not be able to be a translator, but you can be a person who learns at home?" It is better for people to have self-knowledge. ”

"In vain, you are still a soldier, and you don't even have the spirit of 'doing what you know you can't do', so don't you become a talent if you study yourself? It's not too late for you to come back and laugh at me after I've studied for a few years without results, now you better keep your mouth shut! An Nan glared at Qin Hongwu angrily, he also looked down on people too much, could it be that only his first love Bai Yueguang Du Meiyun was the best in the world, and others didn't even have self-knowledge to learn and improve?

"That's right! Don't bother me with my studies if you're okay in the future, and of course I won't bother you. An Nan said and went back to her room and closed the door, and then she quickly calmed down, feeling that it was really unnecessary for her quarrel with Qin Hongwu, so she concentrated on learning English again.

Qin Hongwu sneered at An Nan and walked away, feeling that she was really ignorant and fearless, ridiculously arrogant.

Since then, the two have resumed their daily routine of not violating the river water, and An Nan concentrates on learning English, and every day is full of time, and he must read for an hour in the morning, then write words silently, memorize sentence patterns, and then do questions and reading...... Her English foundation in her previous life is still there, so it's not difficult to pick it up again.

After a long time, the people in the family courtyard know that An Nan is learning English by herself, these military wives are married and have children, they are busy with laundry and cooking every day, and they are busy with their children, and they use a little time to gossip about others and compare with each other, so An Nan, who memorizes English all day long, has become the only exception. I don't focus on taking care of men and children at all...... Of course, she doesn't have children yet, but that should also be ready for having children, how can she still do whatever she wants like if she is not married?!

So a kind-hearted sister-in-law came to the door and persuaded An Nan not to put her mind on crooked ways, she couldn't make money learning English, she was not a student anymore, she should take care of her own home, do housework, and cook rice...... They are committed to correcting An Nan's unusual and alternative behavior, so that she can return to the "right path" of being a wife......

Once or twice, An Nan endured it, but then because she "didn't change her teachings", and then she listened to a lot of discussions behind her, An Nan simply closed the door and refused to accept customers, no matter what their three aunts and six mothers-in-law said, she didn't move, she did her own thing, how to learn or how to learn.

Those military wives saw that she "didn't change her life" and didn't listen to persuasion, so they were so angry that they despised her even more behind their backs, and often looked at Qin Hongwu with sympathetic eyes, thinking that it was a pity that he married such an ignorant daughter-in-law.
