Chapter 2 I want to have a home
Anyone who knows "Murder on the Nile" knows that when Detective Poirot said this, the love murder case on the boat had just been closed.
At this time, what he said to the young couple was like an experienced old man's admonition to a young man.
It's like the old saying "be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years".
Therefore, "leisurely" is indeed more in line with the plot.
Of course, this is not what Jiangshan meant.
In his last life, he was fortunate to be invited to visit the archives of the "Shanghai Translation Studio", which stored the translated scripts from around the 80s.
Many of the translated lines recorded above have the experience of three or four changes.
The old artists of that time pursued excellence.
Later, the quality of the translated film gradually weakened, resulting in later generations preferring to watch original films.
"Take it easy? …… This is really ......" Team Leader Lu was the first to speak: "Director Hu, is it right this time?" ”
He couldn't describe what he wanted to express for a while, so he felt that this sentence "leisurely" must be the sentence that the factory director was looking for.
"Wonderful, hahaha,"
After listening to Jiang Shan's translation, Hu Xiao, who had been stuck in his throat for this translation, suddenly felt comfortable all over: "Take it easy~ How did you come up with it?" ”
Jiang Shan smiled: "I imagined myself as the great detective Poirot, and then I thought about what I would say at that time." ”
"It makes sense," Director Hu felt that this idea was worth learning: "Your little comrade has a talent for translating films, what is the name of the good one." ”
"Jiangshan."
"Team Leader Lu," Hu Xiao was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Shan: "This Comrade Xiao Jiang I want it, and I will tell him about the welfare of our factory in a while." ”
He walked out the door as he spoke, and after getting a satisfactory answer, Director Hu had to hurry back to the recording studio: "Oh yes, Comrade Xiao Jiang's sentence just now is worth two yuan, don't forget to give it to someone today." ”
can solve the knot of the factory director, and Team Leader Lu is also in a good mood: "Don't worry!" ”
In this way, after Director Hu left, Jiang Shan and the slightly older gay man were left behind by the translation team.
"Because there is no redundant post establishment in our unit at present, we can only recruit two comrades as temporary translators,"
Team Leader Lu said to the two new colleagues:
"But the treatment given to you in the factory is still good, three yuan a day, a day of work is counted as a day, I play attendance, and I will settle in the accounting office after a month. We don't have that much regular wages here. ”
Jiangshan believes that in 1978, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in Pujiang City was about 40 yuan, and that of city-level cadres was only 7 or 80 yuan.
Therefore, Jiang Shan is very satisfied with this temporary translation work.
Just as he was about to walk out of the door, Team Leader Lu behind him chased him out again and handed him two yuan with a smile.
and told Jiangshan that there is an unwritten rule in their Pujiang Translation Studio.
When the director of the factory or the dubbing director shouted: "Who will help think of a good word, two pieces of two!" ”
Jiang Shan understood: "Just like me today? ”
"That's right," Lu Yi will look at Jiangshan more and more pleasing to the eye, just ten minutes ago, Jiangshan passed the assessment of Yuyu again:
"Recently, the Ministry of Culture has held a "Huayu Friendship Bridge Film Exhibition", and our factory is rushing to translate two films,"
Jiang Shan nodded, and he had the impression that this year was in the honeymoon period of Huayue.
Team Leader Lu continued to explain to Jiang Shan:
"Divide into two groups at the same time, and tomorrow you will go into the "Manhunt" group to help."
"Manhunt?" Hearing the familiar movie, Jiang Shan was a little excited: "Okay, I must be on time tomorrow." ”
Team Leader Lu smiled and patted Jiang Shan's shoulder: "Young man, do a good job!" ”
On the way home, Jiangshan suddenly felt that it was quite interesting to go back to 1978.
The next second, he saw the two yuan in his hand, and immediately put away the smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's September 1978, and it's been a long time since the ice melted.
Before the first spring breeze has not landed smoothly, it is the best policy to stand still!
It is stable to stand still, but it is very stable to be poor!
is 1.8 meters tall, and there are only a few in his pocket this time.
Lately, he didn't dare to speak too loudly.
……
There was still some time until dinner.
On the old wooden bunk bed, the two brothers of the Jiang family slept.
"Third child, do you still have a headache lately?"
At this time, the second brother Jianghe, who was sleeping on the lower floor, was accompanied by a cough: "If the pain is so bad, say that the second brother will take you to the hospital again!" ”
Jiang Shan knocked on the bed frame: "Say less, don't gasp again after a while!" ”
The second brother muttered: "Don't worry~ I can't die, I'm used to it!" ”
Jiang Shan didn't speak again, he had to squint for a while before dinner every day, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the all-night shift.
Now the house he sleeps in is about 7 or 8 square meters.
The Jiang family in the courtyard has a total of three bungalows, one is Jiangshan's parents, and one is a big brother and sister-in-law with a pair of children.
The remaining middle room is divided in half, with a dining table for the family to eat in front, and a small room in the back where Jiang Shan and his second brother live.
A bunk bed, a writing desk, and a chest of drawers, old but still stable.
This was originally the room of the little sister Jiang Chuan, and after the two brothers who were educated youths returned to the city this year, the little sister set up a small bed next to the dining table outside.
Jiang Shan was an orphan in his last life, and he always longed for a home, but he never thought that he would achieve it in this life.
The Jiang family has a total of three sons and one daughter, and they are named in the order of sea, river, mountain, and river.
Jiangshan is the third in line, and there is a younger sister who is in the second year of high school below.
The previous comments of "myself" were not good.
It's only been a few months since he returned to his hometown and returned to the city, and he has already become a well-known street slicker, and he almost gave up his life in a fight a while ago. (Actually, it has been sent away)
The second brother, who was sleeping in the lower bunk at the time, ignored his weak body and stubbornly blocked a few bricks for him.
At the age of 15, "Jiangshan" just graduated from junior high school and shouted to go to the countryside, saying that it was so that his second brother, who was not in good health, could stay in the city.
In fact, I just don't want to continue studying.
Although the second brother still went down in the second year, it did not prevent the second brother from always thinking about his goodness, and no matter how hard and tired he was when he was a young man, he had to save rations and send them to his younger brother.
"Alas~"
After a long sigh, Jiang Shan pulled away from his memory.
Jiang's mother's voice came from outside: "It's time to eat!" ”
No. 51 Miscellaneous Courtyard, divided into three courtyards, the backyard where the Jiang family is located is the most quiet, except for the Jiang family, there is only a pair of old couples surnamed Li.
In the early autumn season, the family sits around the open space in front of the door to eat.
While eating, Jiang Shan read the newspaper at sunset.
Jiang's mother put a chopstick of meat in his bowl: "This kid has been really stunned recently, and he still reads the newspaper when he eats, and there is your favorite braised pork today." ”
Jiang's mother has a group face of Guotai and Min'an, and the most worrying thing is her youngest son Jiangshan.
In order to be able to transfer her youngest son back to the city, Jiang's mother gritted her teeth and handled early retirement, so that the former owner was able to return to the city and enter the factory smoothly.
But with an apprentice salary of 18 yuan per month, he can spend 17 yuan for his female colleagues when he changes hands, and then go home to make trouble again, and he has never given Jiang's mother a good face.
In Jiang Shan's memories, Jiang's mother secretly shed a lot of tears.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan hurriedly stuffed the braised pork into his mouth: "Mom, it's so fragrant!" ”
Dad Jiang glanced at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That's because you haven't seen meat for a long time." ”
Jiang's mother's cooking skills have always been bad, and the Jiang family's food can't be mentioned.
Anyway, in the month that the country has been wearing, I haven't seen a few times of meat, and there is not even a shadow of the fruit.
Jiang's mother retired early, and her retirement salary was halved by 16 yuan per month.
Jiang's father's Pujiang garment factory has not paid bonuses since the beginning of the year.
In order to complete the assignment of employment personnel that are constantly issued above.
Now there is already a worker in the factory, and an apprentice stands behind it.
Workers' wages have also been reduced from 36 yuan to 26 yuan.
In 1978, educated youths began to return to their hometowns and cities.
Suddenly, every unit was notified of the expansion of personnel positions.
The purpose of the above is clear, to allow employees who are not in good health to retire early and their wages halved. Three jobs are allowed for five people, and the same is true for wages.
The goal is to speed up the work distribution of unemployed youth.
There are two educated youths in the Jiang family, and I don't know if the second child can be successfully distributed after he recovers.
Jiang Shan was thinking about it, and the boss Jiang Hai suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the third child, you went to the translation factory today?" ”
Jiang Shan nodded: "Go." ”
The eldest brother was a little surprised: "Do you really dare to go?" They didn't blow you out? ”
"Don't you look down on people," Jiang Shan sandwiched a chopstick of meat for his second brother: "Director Hu of the translation studio personally met me and asked me to go to work tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" The boss was stunned: "What kind of work is their factory recruiting?" ”
"Translation, translation of the translated film," Jiang Shan sandwiched chopsticks to the eldest brother again: "Fortunately, you helped me open a letter of introduction, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to enter the door." ”
At this moment, not only the boss, but the whole family was stunned.
Translator, when will the third child speak a foreign language?
Jiang's mother said worriedly: "Little man, you can't go to other people's units to fool around." ”
When I first came to the meeting, Jiang Shan felt awkward when he heard this title, and he was convinced after listening to it for a long time.
"No fools, this is today's salary,"
Jiang Shan handed the two yuan to Jiang's mother: "Don't worry, your junior will have a lot." ”
Mother Jiang glanced at the money in her hand, and then at Jiang Shan's sunny smile, and immediately laughed:
"This factory is a rule, and you will be paid when you go. It's just too little, only two dollars a month. ”
"One day." Jiang Shan emphasized.
"Net bragging," the little sister Jiang Chuan couldn't help but glance at him: "Nonsense will come as soon as you open your mouth." ”
Many of the previous owner's previous behaviors have always made the little sister Jiang Chuan very angry.
In her eyes, the third brother is two hundred and five with an elbow turned outward and given money to others.
Jiang's father and second brother laughed and said nothing, they both knew too well about the urine nature of the third brother.
Only the eldest brother Jiang Hai was silent, and yesterday the younger brother suddenly came to him to help open a letter of introduction.
At that time, Jiang Hai didn't believe it, so he asked him to say a few words, although he didn't understand, but it didn't feel like it was fake:
"The third child," Jiang Hai wondered, "Do you really know a foreign language?" Where did you learn it? ”
Jiang Shan was waiting for this sentence, he put down his chopsticks and looked around:
"Do you know how I survived in the countryside a few years ago?"
As soon as the words fell, the small courtyard was silent.
At this time, Jiangshan's face was hung with the vicissitudes of life that did not belong to this age, as if he had fallen into memory: "I went to northern Jiangsu ...... the year I just graduated from junior high school"
The most convincing lie is nine truths and one falsehood.
