Chapter 21: Translating for the First Time

Han Chunming directly gave a deposit of 100 yuan, anyway, he was not afraid that he would run away, and the street director introduced him to him, so he couldn't even have a home.

After finishing the furniture, Han Chunming also wanted to get a toilet in the yard, but this matter was a bit troublesome, after all, there was no sewer nearby, so he could only dig a pit outside.

Han Chunming has already planned it, just outside the corner of the wall on the edge of the year, fortunately, this alley is relatively wide, and it is completely fine to dig a pit more than one meter wide under the root of the wall.

Now there are also special excrement diggers, and there is no need to bother at that time, as long as you spend a little money, you can clean it up.

In fact, Han Chunming didn't have time, otherwise he really wanted to clean up this yard, although the house was in good condition, there were still many places that needed to be changed.

After the carpenter left, the bricklayer came again, and the bathroom in the courtyard had to be cut into the wall, and the pit outside had to be dug, and he wanted to get another place to bathe.

In fact, Han Chunming wanted to get a bathroom in the bedroom, after all, the room was quite large, even if the furniture was put on, it was still a little empty, but there were people behind the house, and the septic tank could not be dug.

"Master, understand the toilet and toilet here, there is still a place, you can come with me."

At this moment, there is a new arrangement, the bedroom and study are a bit big, there is no fire kang now, I don't know how many stoves are needed to heat the room, or a little smaller.

This idea really came out of nowhere, and it was really necessary to fight!

It's okay to say in summer, but when it comes to winter, it's really unbearable.

"Master, that's all, can you help me see how long it will take to finish it? And there's still something to be done here. ”

"This job is simple, I will get it for you in three days, the main thing is that you can't make a kang well, otherwise it will be comfortable to get a kang."

"There's no way to do it, it's because of this to make the room smaller, you can help me speed it up, I'm still thinking about moving in early."

…………

The matter of decorating the house is getting better and better, fortunately, the school curriculum is relatively intense, otherwise Han Chunming doesn't know how many good ideas he has.

The course is tense, Han Chunming can only take the time to take a look after class, the current craftsmen are really conscious, not to mention anything else, it is the septic tank dug outside, Han Chunming wants to find something wrong with it, but after watching it for a long time, he really didn't see anything wrong at all.

He didn't even say anything, and people took the initiative to pull some momentum to cut to the side, what else can you say?

In the furniture, well, I didn't see that thing, I really didn't have time to visit the carpenter's house, anyway, I had already said that the bed was ready to be pulled over first, and he wanted to live in it in a few days.

Thinking that he was a traverser after all, and he was a person who had seen the world, and that there was no heating in this room, it must be difficult for him, so he found a blacksmith to make an iron stove, and then made some thin iron sheets to make a long chimney.

I saw this thing in a barber shop when I was a child, and there was hot water at all times, and it was still warm in the house.

When everything is done, I can finally rest, I am really tired from running back and forth these days, and there are still a lot of things to do.

The class is still going on, but Han Chunming has not seen anyone who has gone out early and returned late these days, so that several people in the dormitory can't stand it, and they all think that Han Chunming is giving up on himself!

"Chunming, you can't be like this, although you study well, you can't be so indulgent, you know, learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."

"I've taken a leave of absence, don't worry, I haven't given up at all to study, I've been out there recently!"

"Don't lie to us, you think about it carefully, the course is tight now, but you have to be nervous."

Han Chunming really doesn't like to hear this, but when people say this, you can't talk back, so you can only listen to it.

It was another unforgettable night, snoring, grinding teeth, and talking in sleep, but fortunately no one sleepwalked, he really couldn't stay any longer.

The next day was just resting, went to a new home and rushed to the courtyard non-stop, went back to take a look, just went to Tiananmen Square to see, maybe you can get a job.

After all, I have already told the head teacher that it would be bad if I didn't do anything at all.

This is Han Chunming, no one goes home even if the other students are on vacation, they all stay in school to continue studying, after all, they have come from those ten years, and they finally went to college, and everyone's attitude towards learning is that they don't want to waste a moment.

Han Chunming rode his bicycle to Tiananmen Square.

Now that the country is gradually opening, you can see blonde foreigners here from time to time, and everyone is probably used to it, but there is no surprise staring.

Leave your bike in the parking lot and walk to your destination.

Han Chunming's idea is to follow these translators with foreigners first, see what the level of these people is, and see if he has any advantages.

After following the two teams, Han Chunming knew that these translators were probably trained temporarily, and they were also used with both hands and feet when interpreting, which was almost the same as sign language.

After all, there are very few people who speak English well in China in this era, and even if there is, it is impossible to come to these tourists as interpreters.

Han Chunming wanted to go up and talk, but he never found a chance, so he couldn't dig the foot of the wall directly in front of others, if he did this, it would be easy to be beaten!

Han Chunming stared at the five-person squad, and he could see that none of these people were bad money.

Finally waited for the opportunity, he thought that the tour guide had no intestines in his stomach and was a bladder, so he didn't go to the toilet for so long.

After watching the tour guide walk away, Han Chunming immediately went up, wanting to talk to these people with his proficient English.

"Hello, are you here for a tour?"

The proficient English also attracted the surprise of several people, a few of them have been here for so long, they have never heard such proficient English, although the spoken language is a little surprised, but they can understand it!

"Hello, you can speak English, are you back from our country?"

"No, I'm a college student at the School of Foreign Languages, and I want to get in touch when I see you, what do you think of my English?"

"Very good, we're going crazy, we don't know what he's talking about, he doesn't seem to understand what we're saying, do you have time? Can you translate for us? ”

Hehe, Han Chuming was still thinking about how to lead the topic to this, but he didn't expect them to send it to the door by themselves.

"Well, this, I'm in school right now, so ......"

"We can pay you a fee, you just treat it as a part-time job, and we can give you a very good fee."

Seeing that Han Chunming was about to refuse, these foreigners hurriedly spoke, for fear of missing Han Chunming.

This is all about money, and it seems a little bad that I am refusing, isn't that the purpose?

"Okay, but let's say okay first, I only accept US dollars, and I still want to save money to study in your country, okay?"

His vision is really good, and he directly gives money according to the capitation, fifty dollars a day per person, which is not much for them, but it is very powerful for themselves.

Don't be fools and think that they don't know how much money they give, how can they not know, after all, the tour guide has taken them for so long, has he never confiscated the money? I don't believe it when I kill him, but who makes his level so high.

When the tour guide came back, it was also weird to see Han Chunming chatting with no one, after all, English is not a compulsory course in China now, and the special ten years have just passed, and there are not many people who can speak English in China.

"Who are you? Your English is good, would you be interested in coming to work with us? ”

The tour guide and translator asked curiously.

Is this going to dig yourself? This can't be done, how much money can I make by going to your unit?

So Han Chunming immediately said: "No need, I'm a student at the School of Foreign Languages, didn't I see foreigners contacting English, by the way, I'll take them, they said that you are a little unproficient in English." ”

The tour guide was also very happy when he heard it, he knew what level he was, and this half of the morning was torture for him, but he didn't expect Han Chunming to collect money, and thought it was a pleasure to help others.

"Then I'll trouble you, just send them back to the hotel at the end of the night, the one next to the foreign exchange shop, you know where it is, right?"

"I know, I'm from old Beijing, and there's something I don't know, so don't worry."

The tour guide walked happily, and the one who walked was called a crisp, and he didn't say hello to a few foreigners!

"Let's go, let's take you to experience the culture of China!"

Now there are not many open places in the Forbidden City, and Han Chunming doesn't care very much, where he opens, he will take them wherever he goes, and if he knows what he knows, he will introduce them well, and if he doesn't know, he will make them up, anyway, they don't understand, and he is not far away.

This half a day to take them around the Forbidden City, although there are not many open places, but also after shopping for an afternoon, tired to chat with them, the way of thinking that is ahead of decades, is also a few people addicted, in the middle also taught them a lot of Chinese, get along quite well!

In the evening, after taking them to eat roast duck, they were sent back to the hotel, and at the door of the hotel, the leader of the five handed over two hundred and fifty US dollars to Han Chunming.

Han Chunming, who had been pretending to be calm, couldn't help it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, he just wanted to go up, after all, this was the money of foreigners.

"Han, you're really good, can you pick us up tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, then we'll meet at eight o'clock in the morning, I'll take you to breakfast, and then we'll go to the next place."

Han Chunming hurriedly replied, after all, this half a day gave a day's money, and the service must be in place, make money, don't stumble!

Looking at the two one hundred and fifty banknotes in my hand, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart, and when I came, I thought that I might be empty-handed today, but I didn't know that there would be unexpected surprises!

On the way back, I made a small red flag in the tailor shop, and by the way, I ordered ten red hats.

Thinking about walking in front of me tomorrow with a small red flag, followed by five blonde foreigners with red hats, I can't help but be happy in my heart, this money is not worth mentioning compared to the money I earn!

When I returned to the dormitory again, it was no different from before, it was quiet and a little scary, and they were all studying with their heads down, which made Han Chunming a little out of place, this group of people was really too rolled!

The reason why Han Chuming went back to the dormitory instead of going back to the courtyard was mainly because he was afraid that Han's mother would talk, after all, Han Chunming was not a college student in the courtyard, everyone stayed in school to study during the holidays, so he ran back by himself, and his family would definitely be told again if he knew about it.

"I brought you something to eat, can you fill your stomach first?"

On the way back, Han Chunming saw that there were snacks for sale, so he bought some, but a few people were still embarrassed to eat, except for Han Chunming in the dormitory, there was really no one rich, but these people were good, as long as Han Chunming brought them food, they had to pay back Han Chunming by all means.

"Don't be embarrassed, I'm telling you, buddy made money today!"

Hearing that several people are interested in making money, after all, everyone is short of money, and if there is really a way, they don't want to miss it.

Seeing the eyes of several people, Han Chunming knew what they wanted to ask, so he said: "I am working as a tour guide for foreigners outside, let me tell you, those foreigners are generous!" ”

As soon as they heard this, they turned off the fire, all of them were dumb English, let them write and write, and talk directly to foreigners, they really had that courage.

"I'll tell you, this English is to speak more, it's useless for you to bow your head and study hard!"

"Chunming, we are different from you, this speech is really not good, it seems that this money has nothing to do with us."

I wanted to pull a few people, but these people were useless, and when I heard this, I retreated directly!

"Don't be nervous, just talk more, when it's almost over, go to talk to foreigners, don't dare to be a tour guide to talk, anyway, you don't have to spend money, don't you want to go abroad in the future?"

A few people were not sure of this, and Han Chunming stopped persuading, their current level is indeed a lot worse, after all, they have only studied for a semester, and they have no foundation before, although they have worked hard, they still need to study.

After chatting with a few foreigners for a long time, I felt that my thoughts were clearer, and I took out the draft of Harry Potter, and my thoughts were like urine, and the tip of the pen kept sliding irregularly on the paper, turning into letters one by one.

This is also what I thought of when I met a few foreigners today, if you want to earn foreign exchange in a short period of time, what is more comfortable than writing?

At ten o'clock, these people were still reading quietly as when they first came, Han Chunming couldn't stand them, so he picked up the basin and washed up and went to sleep, but it was also beneficial, and he couldn't hear those snoring sounds when he went to bed early.

Han Chunming didn't worry about getting up late in the morning at all, even if it was a rest day, this group of people would definitely not get up late!

No matter what time you go to bed at night, you will get up at six o'clock the next day, and I don't know why these people are fighting so hard, the people of later generations are already enough, but if you compare with them, it is really a big deal.

When I got up in the morning, I washed up and went straight out of school, and when I passed by the tailor shop, I took the red hat that I made yesterday with money.
