Chapter 169 Manuscript Fees Arrive in Account
"Your father will be back in a while, so you can't be anxious."
Li Xinran said softly.
It's like comforting the baby in the belly, and it's like comforting yourself.
In the afternoon, when she was walking around the corps, she saw several military vehicles passing in front of her.
The military vehicles were full of serious-looking soldiers.
Li Xinran looked at the cars of soldiers and thought of Shen Boyuan.
After walking a few steps, she heard several military wives whispering,
"My man is in the car."
"My men are here too."
"I heard that this time we are going to the earthquake-stricken area in northern China to provide rescue and relief operations."
"This is an earthquake, how dangerous it is."
"Who said it wasn't."
"No, I have to go home quickly and pay my respects."
After the military wife finished speaking, she turned around and left.
When Li Xinran heard this, her heart skipped a beat again.
It seems that the situation in the earthquake-stricken areas in the north has become serious again.
She had just heard an aftershock on the radio and saw so many soldiers from the Corps leaving in military vehicles.
Li Xinran quickly took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down her mood and not let her body have too many emotional ups and downs.
She believed that Shen Boyuan would come back safely.
Almost every day, she would listen to the radio and read newspapers, always paying attention to the latest situation in the earthquake-stricken areas.
The other military wives also kept talking about the recent earthquake situation.
Sometimes, when Li Xinran was walking on the road of the Corps, he felt that there were fewer people in the Corps.
For several days, Li Xinran did not hear any more aftershocks in the northern region on the radio.
Her worried mood had only slightly improved.
About a week later, she received a letter from Rongcheng, sent to her by her eldest sister Li Xinmei.
Along with the letter, there were some specialties from Chengdu, some snacks, and two yuan.
Li Xinran felt a little strange when he saw the two dollars.
Why would her eldest sister send her money? She is already married.
Then, she opened the letter and read it.
In the letter, her eldest sister Li Xinmei first asked how she was doing recently and was she still used to being in the Corps?
At the end of the letter, Li Xinmei praised several times that the red dates she sent back last time were particularly delicious.
After eating, I no longer vomited and my body felt much more relaxed.
I want to ask her to buy more red dates and send them back.
Li Xinran understood it immediately after reading this.
The red dates she sent back last time, but the red dates in the space are much more delicious than those sold in the market outside.
Her eldest sister is pregnant. After eating the red dates in space, she will certainly feel more relaxed.
Li Xinran is not stingy, Li Xinmei is her eldest sister after all.
Moreover, women face too many risks during pregnancy and childbirth.
If your body is well repaired, there will be fewer dangerous situations that may arise.
She organized two large bags of red dates, the strawberry jam she had made before, and some peanut and hazelnut dry goods in the space.
One package was sent to her eldest sister Li Xinmei.
One package was sent to Father Li and Mother Li.
Thinking of the last time Father Li and Mother Li asked roundaboutly about her pregnancy, Li Xinran simply wrote them a letter telling them that she was already one month pregnant.
Hearing this news, Li's father and Li's mother should also feel relieved.
She also wrote a letter to her eldest sister, saying that she would send it to her after she finished eating the red dates, peanuts and hazelnuts.
After finishing everything, Li Xinran placed the two letters and two large packages at the gate of the corps.
After placing the letters and things, she glanced at the place where the letters were collected.
She actually saw two remittance orders and two letters from Kyoto.
Li Xinran picked up the remittance slip and letter and walked back home.
When she got home, she took a look at the remittance slip first.
The amount on the remittance note from a Kyoto newspaper was 730 five yuan, six cents and four cents.
Another remittance from the Kyoto Bookstore was for 850 yuan and [-] cents.
The two sums added up to a total of one thousand, five hundred and fifty eighty seven dollars and one dime and seven cents.
Li Xinran's face instantly showed a big smile.
English translation is really very profitable.
She opened the two letters and looked at them again.
After the newspaper and bookstore reviewed the manuscript, they were all very satisfied with her translation level.
Therefore, the manuscript fee for the last translation and the manuscript that needs to be translated this time were sent together.
Li Xinran opened the manuscript that needed to be translated and took a quick glance at it.
This time there are more manuscripts that need to be translated than last time.
What she thought for a moment was that the money she could earn this time would be more than last time.
This is really good news.
Li Xinran collected the two remittance orders first and planned to go to the town to withdraw the money at the end of the month.
Then, she made a cup of malted milk and began to translate manuscripts sent by newspapers and bookstores.
What the bookstore sent this time was an instruction manual for the machine.
Li Xinran specially wrote a letter, saying in a very tactful tone that she hoped to increase the price of translation, hoping to mention two cents a word.
After she finished writing, she folded the letter and put it away.
When translating the newspaper's manuscript, she also asked the newspaper if the newspaper could get her a work permit?
She will prepare all the materials needed to apply for a work permit and mail them together next time.
This time, Li Xinran translated a little slower.
It took about two weeks to send the translated manuscript by mail.
Then, she took the two remittance orders and a small backpack on her back, planning to go to the town to withdraw money first and then spend it.
Also going to town with Li Xinran was Fang Jiajia.
Fang Jiajia goes to town almost at the end of every month.
Other military wives only go to town occasionally when they have something to buy.
After getting out of the car, Fang Jiajia took Li Xinran's arm and said,
"Xinran, there seems to be a new movie released in town recently. Let's go watch a movie together?"
Li Xinran's eyes moved, "Watching a movie?"
She hasn't watched a movie in a long time.
Although the types of movies now are relatively single, there are not many other entertainment activities.
"Okay." Li Xinran agreed readily.
Fang Jiajia also looked happy.
The two went straight to the cinema and bought a bottle of soda and snacks of broad beans and melon seeds at the entrance of the cinema.
While buying tickets, Li Xinran actually saw a foreign film.
She couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The red-haired and blue-eyed character on the poster looks really fresh at first glance.
Fang Jiajia's eyes also fell on the foreign film.
"Let's watch that foreign film."
Fang Jiajia and Li Xinran said in unison.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
After buying the tickets, the two waited for more than half an hour before entering the movie theater.
However, because what they were about to watch was a foreign film, the two of them chatted while eating, looking excited.
Li Xinran was simply curious about what foreign films at this time were like.
