In a daze, Zhou Yang heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes and found that Li Youwei was standing next to the edge of the kang.

"It's past five o'clock, get up quickly!" Li Youwei said gently.

Zhou Yang remembered that he was going to the city today. Since there was no direct bus, he had to go to Yunshan County first and then take the bus to the city.

Yunshan County is 20 kilometers away from Babaoliang Village. In order to miss the first long-distance bus, Zhou Yang must arrive at the county town before nine o'clock.

When Zhou Yang was putting on his clothes, Li Youwei had already brought the prepared breakfast to the table.

Potatoes were boiled with porridge, but there were a few more eggs.

He peeled one for Zhou Yang and put it in a bowl. The remaining eggs were put in a small cloth bag by Li Youwei, and then said, "You can take these eggs on the way to eat them. In addition, I have prepared 50 yuan for you. Don't treat yourself badly when you go out!"

"It won't be used that much. Just prepare thirty dollars for me, and prepare some notes by the way!" Zhou Yang said.

"Take it all up, it's a poor family and a rich man. If you can't use it, you can get it back!"

"Um!"

After eating the love breakfast prepared by the little girl, Zhou Yang kissed Baoer's sleeping little face, and then set off with a canvas bag on his back.

Looking at Zhou Yang's back as he strides away, Li Youwei's eyes were shivering, and tears slowly overflowed from her eyes!

In this marriage, she is active and passive.

It was Zhou Yang who she pursued first, but she knew that he didn't like him, so she had no choice but to be with her.

So Li Youwei has always been in a state of worrying about gains and losses. She is really worried that this white swan-like man will leave her mother and daughter behind and never return.

But she had to let him go, so she felt quite distressed inside.

Although he repeatedly promised that this time he was just going to the city to find a way to make money and would never leave, Li Youwei's heart was still full of confusion and helplessness.

At this time, Zhou Yang had just walked outside the gate and turned around to close the gate of the courtyard, he saw Li Youwei standing at the door, with her sleeves constantly wiping around in front of her eyes.

Knowing that this girl must have thought too much, Zhou Yang then returned to the yard again and quickly came to her side.

Sure enough, this girl cried!

Looking at the crying little wife with pear blossoms in the rain, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a tingling pain in his heart. This girl was so insecure.

“I am just a little bit”

Without waiting for Li Youwei to explain, Zhou Yang pulled her into his arms, and then gently said in her ear: "Don't cry, I will be back soon!"

"Yeah! I believe you!"

Zhou Yang patted the little wife on the back again. When he turned around, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and then said, "Let's go and get the certificate when I come back!"

Li Youwei was shocked and said in disbelief: "Really?"

"Well, you're ready to prove it, I'll go when I'm back!"

"Then you go early and come back to me sooner"

Seeing his wife who was so excited that she was incoherent, Zhou Yang's softest part was touched again.

Because the above requirements for married educated youth to return to the city are very high, the principle is that once educated youth get married locally, their household registration relationship will be directly placed in the place where they go to the lineup. That is to say, once they get married, they will basically lose the qualification to return to the city.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the return of the city in the future, the two have been together for more than four years, and Baoer is over three years old, but she has never obtained a certificate.

After all, marriages without marriages are not protected. Even if the two parties are separated, they only need to issue a certificate of severing the marriage relationship. The files of both men and women are still unmarried.

I have to say that I was selfish in my previous life!

But in this life, Zhou Yang vowed not to let the little girl follow her inexplicably again. It is time to put the evidence on the agenda!

Zhou Yang walked for more than three hours on a twenty-kilometer road, and it was already past eight o'clock when he arrived at the bus station.

Along the way, except for the fresher air, the other feelings are not good.

The muddy country roads, low adobe houses, and the common people with a slutty face, the poverty of this era is fully revealed, and it is so unscrupulous!

Even the county town is not as prosperous as imagined, it is just that there are more brick and tile houses!

Fortunately, it is 1975 now, and it is not many years since the curtain of reform of the times is opened. I just need to wait with peace of mind!

Buy a ticket and get on the bus!

With the clamor, the long-distance bus drove to Ning City 120 kilometers away!

It is really a pain to travel far in this era. It is obviously only more than 100 kilometers, but if it is in later generations, it will take only one hour to drive.

However, Zhou Yang's journey took 3 and a half hours. The car was shaking violently along the way, the crowded passengers and the ubiquitous noise almost drove Zhou Yang crazy.

However, Zhou Yang also knew that with this condition, it would be nice to have a car, and what other bicycles would be needed!

After coming out of the old passenger station, Zhou Yang carefully looked at the surrounding streets, and slowly it coincided with the place he remembered.

But compared to the important northwest transportation hub in later generations, Ning City is really a bit dilapidated and bleak!

In his previous life, Zhou Yang came to Ning City almost every year, so he is quite familiar with it.

He did not ask for directions, but followed his memory and walked towards the Xinhua Bookstore not far away!

The familiar sign made Zhou Yang's mouth tilt slightly, and he pushed open the door and strode in.

The bookstore is not big and the internal layout is relatively simple. The moment you open the door, you smell a scent of ink that is unique to books on your nose.

For a moment, Zhou Yang's mood became inexplicably better.

This may be a common problem for scholars. For this type of person, books often make them feel inexplicably excited, just like a hungry person smelling the fragrance of bread.

There was no one else in the bookstore except for a bald middle-aged man.

After seeing Li Yi, the middle-aged man immediately put down the book in his hand and asked, "Comrade, are you here to buy books?"

"No, I want to take some translation work, I don't know if it's OK!"

That’s right, what Zhou Yang said about making money is to do translation.

At present, China is far behind Western countries in science and technology and other aspects. In order to learn the other party's advanced technology and management methods, it has to translate a large amount of foreign language materials and books.

However, due to indescribable reasons, there has been a serious gap in domestic intellectuals, so there is an abnormal lack of domestic translation talents at this stage.

On one hand, there are limited translation talents and on the other hand, there are a large number of works to be translated. The supply and demand relationship is seriously unbalanced, which has seriously affected the development of the national economy. Scientific research is often blocked due to the inability to translate foreign materials in a timely manner.

Because there is too shortage of translation talents, the country has to publish some not-so-important publications to various provinces and cities to find suitable personnel for paid translation.

On the one hand, it is to reduce the pressure from relevant departments, and on the other hand, it is also to discover translation talents in society.

As the place where cultural people can visit, Xinhua Bookstores in each province and city naturally become a platform for distributing tasks.

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Comrade, I am Xu Yongguang, the head of the bookstore. You can call me Lao Xu!"

"Hello, my name is Zhou Yang!"

"Comrade Zhou Yang, do you understand foreign languages?"

"Yeah, understand a little!"

"Which language do you know?"

Zhou Yang really wants to say that he is proficient in English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, and Korean languages, but he knows that it is not good to be too popular in this era, and it may even cause investigations from interested people.

After thinking about it again and again, two words popped up in Zhou Yang's mouth: "English!"

"English is good. What our country lacks the most now is talents who understand English. However, if you want to take translation work, I have to test your level!"

"no problem!"

Then, Lao Xu took out two pieces of paper full of English from the drawer beside him and handed them to Zhou Yang.

"Look, how long does it take for you to translate this article?"

Zhou Yang took the letter and looked at it, and soon recognized it. This was a paragraph excerpted from the English classic book "Letter to Garcia".

"It's about 5 minutes!"

“55 minutes?”

Old Xu was obviously shocked by Zhou Yang's words. Although he only handed Zhou Yang 5 or 6 pieces of letter paper, normally, there was no end to translation in less than three or two hours.

Zhou Yang didn't say much, but took out the paper and pen that he carried with him and translated it on the spot.
Chapter completed!
