Chapter 393: Guoguang Bookstore

Before cooperating with the literacy policy, Tang Mei recognized some words, but she still didn't know much about learning.

I thought that if I read more books about foreign languages, I could learn them by myself.

Tang Mei didn't continue to detain Lu Miao:

"Then you go out and pull your neckline tighter."

"Got it."

Lu Miao covered the courtyard door, put his hands in his pockets, and swooped down to the end of the alley with his little face down.

The end of the alley leads directly to the Ming City Wall Ruins Park, and after turning from the intersection of the road, it is not a few steps away from the outer street.

Lu Miao stopped and went, and arrived at Guoguang Bookstore in about ten minutes.

It is convenient to work and employment, as she said to Fu Jingyou before.

She doesn't like to look at people's faces, so she doesn't think about taking her job seriously.

It has not been considered inside or outside the system.

On the one hand, she chose to major in foreign languages because of several popular national languages that were common in later generations, and she has been hunting since she was a child.

On the other hand, when I was in class, I had a vague understanding of the development of foreign languages in this era.

Talents are scarce, and the state widely respects and cultivates.

In the process of cultivating talents in the country, "translation" is a fat gap in short supply.

Some literary works, foreign language magazines, periodicals and newspapers, etc., all need personnel to translate.

Once there is a way to take over these tasks, they can be taken home and done when they are stable.

And compared to other jobs of the same era, the pay is quite generous.

That's what Lu Miao was considering.

Even if it's to make extra money, you can earn some money by translating, and take care of your family and children by the way.

The working hours are relatively free, and she can do something else if she wants.

Lu Miao cares about family and children, and also pays attention to pleasure, and expressions like "housewife" have nothing to do with her.

In front of her, the child and the family have Tang Mei to give her a hand, and when the policy is opened in the future, she can ask for a nanny and aunt.

When the children are older, the elders will be able to rest and rest.

Although she is lazy and enjoyable, she works hard and can still bring a similar life to her family.

Originally, these things were not in a hurry, Lu Miao thought about taking one step at a time, according to the process, and it would not be too ostentatious and eye-catching.

But immediately bought a house and land, and the money I had saved in the past few years was basically cleared.

In the past, she was the daughter of the Lu family, and when she was not married, she could be cheeky and gnaw on her for a few years.

Now that she is married and has her own family, she still has to bear her own responsibilities.

Especially she knows that if she has been living on the Lu family, the child's father will also be under pressure.

After thinking about it, Lu Miao planned to take action.

Let's go to the bookstore and find a few translated works.

Look at the way the translation was done in this era, and whether there is any difference between it and later generations.

If there is, she will observe and pay attention to it, so as not to find out where something goes wrong and cause unnecessary trouble.

At this time, all the industries that operated on the surface, regardless of restaurants and barber shops, were state-run industries.

The same is true of Guoguang Bookstore.

The bookstore on Chongwenwai Street covers an area of about 150 square meters, which is certainly incomparable to later generations, but for now, it is quite a grand scale.

Even so, when I walked in, there really weren't many books inside.

More and more conspicuous are the portraits of soldiers full of age pasted and hung on the wall.

It is probably related to the university that restarted after the college entrance examination, although there are not many books in the bookstore, there are many people.

I came here to find materials in advance to preview.

However, at this time, serious books and textbooks were not sold cheaply, and there were many people reading books in bookstores, but few people actually buying them.

This also causes more and more people to be indoors, and it is becoming more and more crowded.

Lu Miao squeezed around several times, and finally found the book he wanted on the wooden bookshelf on the left side of the door-"The Remains of the Lady of the Camellias in Paris".

Unlike other foreign works, there are either only English translations or Chinese translations.

This book "The Remains of the Lady of the Camellias in Paris" is available in English and Chinese.

When Lu Miao saw it, he took it directly from the upper and lower rows of bookshelves, planning to take these two books back to see how they compared.

She took the book to the salesperson at the door to write a bill to settle the bill, and the lesbian in the wooden display case looked at her several times.

Books that have been translated and rearranged are not sold cheaply.

Lu Miao thought that the other party was looking at her curiously because of the high price.

But I didn't know that this kind of book was a banned book a few years ago, and although it was back on the shelves this year, no one dared to buy it.

She was the first to come and buy two copies.

The lesbian neatly wrote a receipt note, "A total of five dollars and four." ”

When collecting the money, the female comrade looked at Lu Miao a few more times, and finally suddenly squatted down and pulled out a small upside-down sign from the glass display case.

"Comrade, can you read what is written on this?"

"Huh?"

Lu Miao's slender brows squeezed, poked her head to take a look, and immediately nodded:

"I can, I can!"

She just thought that the other party was going to ask some book knowledge question, but it turned out to be not at all.

The small sign resembles a miniature version of a blackboard, with a lot of handwritten English written on it.

One of the items that the sales lesbian pointed to, the content was simply a surprise to Lu Miao.

After-sales lesbian suspicion:

"Do you really know each other?"

Lu Miao nodded and retold the content:

"Recruit translators to translate the manuscript and test it in the backyard."

The sales lady looked at Lu Miao's eyes a little more serious, put away the small board, and beckoned to the side:

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, you come up here and keep an eye on it."

"I know Sister Liu, this is coming!"

"Comrade, please come with me."

Sister Liu smiled kindly and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Miao.

Originally, I came out to buy books to emulate and learn, but I didn't expect to be directly lucky enough to touch the edge of the translation work in advance.

She used to think that this kind of work would have to be done through newspapers, publishing houses, and the like.

I didn't expect bookstores to do the same.

Afraid of missing the opportunity, Lu Miao hurriedly corrected her attitude and followed behind with the posture that a junior should have.

The back door of the Guoguang Bookstore is connected to a courtyard, and as soon as I stepped into the courtyard, a long row of spacious tiled houses came into view.

Several teenage boys and girls ran back and forth with books and manuscripts.

Sister Liu took the back door of the bookstore and walked in front and shouted:

"Comrade Xiaohu, is Director Ma here today?"

"Coming, in the house!"

Sister Liu nodded, and directly led Lu Miao into one of the long row of brick houses.

In the room, near the window, there was a mountain of books and manuscript papers on the simple long table.

A bespectacled, gray-haired man sat in it, his hands and head stretched out, and he was about to come out of the afterimage.

Sister Liu knocked on the door, "Director Ma, this little comrade knows foreign languages, do you want to take a look?" ”

Director Ma was so busy that he didn't raise his head, but when he heard the words "foreign language", he raised his head and glanced at Lu Miao behind Sister Liu.

The little girl looked at Eighteen or Nineteen, and she knew foreign languages......

It's so tender, so tender that people don't feel like it when they look at it.
