Chapter 218: Earning Manuscript Fees

Li Qiao is embarrassed, the ready-made tutor does not need to be in vain, and there is no success.

Ma Hongxiang asked Li Qiao to study in the library in the afternoon, but Li Qiao refused on the grounds that he had something: "I have other things to do, next time." She is ready to translate the materials and is busy contacting the publisher to earn the manuscript fee.

Earn it fifty yuan a month, plus allowances, a proper high salary.

It's all beautiful to think about.

At the end of the morning class, Li Qiao prepared the materials and came to the Kyoto Publishing House.

The hall was the office space, and she asked the young woman sitting at the door, "Excuse me, do you need an English translator here?" ”

"We do not publish books related to English translations."

Li Qiao was originally full of confidence, but he was very disappointed when he heard the words, wouldn't he be busy in vain if he didn't accept her? She patiently said, "What kind of language do you publish?" ”

"Do you understand Russian? Do you understand Korean? The young woman's tone was impatient.

Li Qiao pursed his lips, he really didn't understand.

She thanked her and left to chase the next family.

It's called Kyoto Library Publishing House.

This time, she was received by a woman in her forties, surnamed Wei, who was the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.

He has a hairstyle that is on all sides, wears heavy glasses, and has a serious expression.

Li Qiao handed over the materials translated in advance to the other party.

Editor-in-Chief Wei swept it at a glance, not mentioning the content first, and the words alone were pleasing to the eye.

She read it silently.

Be faithful to the original text, including technique, content, and feelings.

However, it is a good translation with appropriate additions and subtractions, and it is out of the translation tone.

She nodded with satisfaction: "This paragraph is very well translated." I have one here, can you translate it on the spot? ”

Li Qiao's eyes lit up. There's a play. "Absolutely!"

Editor-in-Chief Wei took out a manuscript from a drawer.

After Li Qiao took it, he carefully scanned it, and after a little consideration of the wording, he translated it literally.

The sentences are natural and relevant, accurate and fluent.

Editor-in-chief Wei immediately decided to hire: "What do you think of the price of three yuan and five yuan for a thousand words?" ”

Li Qiao secretly estimated that 10,000 words and 35 yuan are very good. "Does punctuation count?" It's a bit of a loss if you don't count.

"Count." Director Wei said briskly.

Li Qiao agreed.

Director Wei immediately drew up the contract, printed and copied it and handed it to Li Qiao: "In duplicate, you can take a look, if there is no problem, sign it." ”

Li Qiao browsed the contract, the delivery must not be overdue, and the manuscript fee will be settled on the 10th of the next month.

She finalizes the contract and signs it.

Director Wei stamped the seal of the publishing house and gave Li Qiao a short draft: "Remember to hand it in next Sunday." ”

"Okay." Li Qiao was full of departure, passed by the mall on the way home, and bought a scarf, two sweaters, and a wool material for Qin Jin with the thirty yuan manuscript fee he received this morning, which was light and super soft, and the relative price was also expensive, asking for twelve yuan and six.

Another cotton-blend, much cheaper.

Only three pieces of nine.

She paid and walked out.

There is an old pharmacy opposite the mall, and there are many people queuing at the door.

Li Qiao inquired curiously, and learned that the chilblain plaster produced by the old pharmacy was famous for its medicinal effects.

It's almost winter, and everyone is lining up to buy chilblain cream for later use.

Thinking that the back of her grandmother's hand was always blue and purple in winter, and sometimes it would be red and swollen, she followed the queue to buy a chilblain cream and ride home.

……

In the courtyard of the Qin family.

Old Lady Qin was chatting with Jiang Wanqiu.

Jiang Wanqiu sat beside a delicate-looking girl.

"You're back? What are you carrying in a big bag or a small bag? Old Lady Qin said.

Li Qiao replied obediently: "Sweater." Ah Jin's two sweaters are a little stiff, I guess they don't keep warm, so I helped him buy two new ones and a scarf. After she finished speaking, she greeted Jiang Wanqiu: "Grandma Xue is good, this young lady is good." ”

The beautiful girl smiled shyly: "Hello." ”

Jiang Wanqiu said: "What little sister, you have to call your little aunt." ”

Li Qiao was puzzled: "Huh? "Auntie? Oh, she understood, Professor Xue's object.

Professor Xue called grandma and aunt, according to the seniority, she had to call him aunt.

She immediately changed her words: "Hello little aunt." ”

The girl smiled shyly: "I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, my name is Fan Feifei, twenty-one this year, how old are you?" Just shout at Sister Feifei than me. ”

Jiang Wanqiu: "Sooner or later." ”

Old Mrs. Qin said in her heart, Miss Su Qing last time, aren't you very satisfied? It's only been a few days and it's been changed again.

Ling Qing was also unlucky.

People do their studies in school all day long, and they don't go back to their homes, but there are several objects.

Even the neighbors in the vicinity knew about it, but they didn't think that Ling Qing was unwilling to go on a blind date, but it was rumored that he had a physical problem, and he was looking for a lot of objects, and he ran away in less than three days to understand his foundation.

Li Qiao went back to the room to put his bag, and then went into the kitchen to carry a thermos to add tea for Jiang Wanqiu and Fan Feifei.

Fan Feifei said: "I heard Aunt Qin say that the paintings on the wall of your house and the ink paintings in the house are all painted by you, and you are still the top student in the college entrance examination, which is amazing." ”

Li Qiao: "It's definitely great that you can go on a blind date with Professor Xue." "A girl with a poor foundation can't get into Grandma Xue's eyes.

Fan Feifei smiled: "I haven't seen it yet." ”

Jiang Wanqiu's eyes rolled secretly: "Qiao Qiao, you take Feifei to find your Professor Xue." "Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, the third child must be a little interesting to Li Qiao, or why did Su Fen say that she often saw the two of them reading together?

Su Fen didn't understand these things, she knew it.

At this time, he asked Li Qiao to bring someone to him, and he might be able to agree to the family affair she chose.

When a man has a serious object, the child will live for the rest of his life, and his thoughts about Li Qiao will naturally stop.

Li Qiao secretly supported his forehead, no wonder Fan Feifei said that there was not a single word, and he didn't see each other.

Grandma Xue misses her daughter-in-law crazy, right? even asked her to call each other's aunt. also asked her to take it to Professor Xue, Professor Xue is okay in the photo, if you don't like it, don't you blame her for being troublesome?

What if you are angry with her and don't counsel her in the future?

Why doesn't she find trouble for herself?

She said euphemistically: "I just got a job at the publishing house, and I will submit the manuscript next week, and the time is very tight. Grandma Xue, you better go in person. Professor Xue is either looking up materials on the second floor of the library or in the research room. Easy to find. ”

She finished and went back to the house.

Jiang Wanqiu chased her into the house: "What kind of work did you take?" It is difficult for you to raise your mother-in-law and grandmother, and you have to raise Ajin. Xiangjun, you too, how did you get into this situation. She didn't forget to belittle Old Lady Qin between her words.

Old Mrs. Qin: "I didn't let you raise it, look at you in a hurry." She yawned: "I'm so sleepy, you guys take care of yourself, I'll go back to the house and sleep." ”

Jiang Wanqiu's face was a little unbearable, and she clearly ordered the eviction of customers. She found herself a step down: "There is a shaver in our compound who comes to cut the hair today, and I just happened to go over to cut it." Feifei, let's go. ”

Fan Feifei responded.

Old Lady Qin said politely: "Come and sit often when you have time." ”

Mrs. Qin sent Jiang Wanqiu and Fan Feifei away, and came to Li Qiao's room to inquire about her work, worried that she would delay her studies and let her push it off. "You're skipping a grade, you're writing a thesis, you're working. Are you tired? I don't have enough money to spend. Ah Jin finished pouring the seeds and stuffed a lot of money into her hand.

Plus the one that I sold weaving before.

Give your granddaughter-in-law twenty yuan a month.

It can be uninterrupted for a year.

Li Qiao smiled: "It's enough, the paper is written." I have no plans to write about it again recently. I'm sure about skipping grades, and I have plenty of time now. ”

Only then did Old Lady Qin dispel her worries. "It's cold in the house, you pay attention." She turned to leave.

Li Qiao took out the ointment he bought for Mrs. Qin: "Grandma, this is for you." ”
