Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 13 - Heart to Heart Conversation
After dinner, Cheng Tianyuan took her back to the small hotel.

"The work has been decided, and we will find a place to move as soon as possible in the next two days. I will take a leave at noon tomorrow and go to the newspaper office to help you take a look."

Xue Ling was secretly happy and said, "Okay! By the way, where did your bicycle come from?"

He replied quietly: "I borrowed it from a colleague."

Xue Ling thought for a while and said: "I wonder if there are any second-hand bicycles for sale nearby? I want to buy one. I can ride it to and from get off work. It will be easier to get in and out."

Cheng Tianyuan nodded and reminded: "Bicycles are not cheap. Most of the second-hand ones cost 50 to [-] yuan."

Earlier he went to the small hotel to check out, and the landlady said that she paid on time every day.

A few days ago, she spent two hundred yuan to help pay Cheng Biao's family's debt, and took another five hundred yuan to buy twenty acres of wasteland.

She doesn’t know how much money she has around her, so how can she spend it so uncontrollably?

Cheng Tian came from a poor family and was very careful about everything he did. When he saw his young wife's extravagant spending, he couldn't help but secretly remind her.

"You just started working, and it's the beginning of the month. You have to wait at least a month before you can get your salary. Renting a house is another big expense, so you need to estimate it carefully."

After hearing this, Xue Ling chuckled and said: "Don't worry, I know it well. I will go to the post office the day after tomorrow to pick up the translation materials sent by my friend, and work hard to make money."

In her previous life, she founded a large company. Although it was not a large international company, it was at least a listed company, and its scale was not small at all.

She has already estimated how to spend this time and how to arrange her work.

"Brother Yuan, don't worry! I have been poor before and know that money cannot be spent indiscriminately. My view on spending money is to spend it when it should be spent, and never waste it when it is not meant to be spent."

Cheng Tianyuan raised the corners of his mouth and gave a faint "hmm".

Unexpectedly, her views on spending money are quite close to mine!

Thinking about it carefully, although she only spent 500 yuan on the first purchase, she also saved money on other places when she could.In the past few days, she almost didn't buy anything except three meals a day.

His female colleagues would discuss buying new clothes and snacks whenever they had free time.Even the teenage girl in his family can't stop eating snacks as long as she has a few cents in her pocket.

But she didn't. Apart from three meals, there were no sweets such as melon seeds and mung bean cakes in the house.

It seemed that he had probably misunderstood her before.

However, she was wrong about one thing.Where had she been poor before?Does it mean at the entrance of the big alley when you were a child?
In fact, although Uncle Xue brought his wife and daughter all the way to the county to work as technicians, the fertilizer factory did not treat him badly.He was older than her at the time and had a clearer concept of money.

At that time, Uncle Xue's salary was three times that of his father, and the Xue family's food, housing, and transportation were considered among the wealthy.

I heard that after moving back to the imperial capital, Uncle Xue quickly went into business and made a lot of money.

She had been born in a big city like the Imperial Capital since she was a child. Compared with the environment in the county town, she would naturally feel that that period was difficult.

In fact, this is not the case.

In her previous life, Xue Ling had cooperated with a gangster to open a company. The gangster took advantage of her not paying attention and took away all the company's funds and a large part of the payment, leaving her with a company heavily in debt.

During those days, she was so poor that she could only eat steamed buns and boiled water for three meals. She did the work of five or six people, and occasionally she even slept less than two hours a day.

After several years of hard work, she finally paid off her debts, turned the company from losses to profits, and weathered the difficulties.

Xue Ling was referring to that period of time, explaining that she was someone who had survived hard times and how dare she spend money randomly.

She has experienced a lot and is no longer the arrogant young lady she was before.

In fact, Xue Ling also felt like she was in another world, and the fate was so wonderful that it brought her back to the past and gave her a chance to start over.Feeling sad for a moment, she couldn't help but think of what happened before her death. She hugged Cheng Tianyuan's strong waist and laid her pretty face on his back. She couldn't help but burst into tears.

Fortunately, he was with her at that time...

The hands on his waist were clasped tightly, and his back was full of soft touches. Cheng Tianyuan was slightly embarrassed, trying to pretend that everything was as usual, and pedaling the bicycle as steadily as ever.

But he didn't realize that the bicycle seemed much lighter and his mood improved unconsciously...

After arriving at the inn, Cheng Tianyuan did not dare to look back at her, and left a message: "Get some rest early!" and then rode off quickly.

Xue Ling's eyes were red, looking at his strong and tall back as he left briskly, he pursed his lips and smiled softly.

That night, she had a good sleep and had a sweet dream.

In the dream, Cheng Tianyuan was riding a bicycle and driving her on a country road. The two were talking and laughing...

When she woke up the next day, it was already a little late, so she quickly washed up and went out.

While waiting for the bus, she bought a big sweet potato near the station and ate it while waiting, finally filling up her breakfast.

When I hurried to the newspaper office, several colleagues had already arrived, and Wang Qing had just arrived.

"Good morning!"

"morning!"

Everyone smiled and said hello to each other, and then got busy.

Director Liu also arrived on time and asked Xue Ling and Wang Qing how the handover work was going and whether the English column materials could be released on time next week.

Xue Ling patted Wang Qing next door on the shoulder and replied with a smile: "Sister Wang Qing handed me the information and taught me several tips. I took a look at the recent columns and made a summary. The preliminary arrangements for next week's columns are also It’s done, please take a look at it, director.”

Director Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise and said: "Young people are very energetic. They have already done so much after just one day of work! Good! Very good! Wang Qing is one of the most outstanding young people in our newspaper office. It is right to learn from her."

Wang Qing on the side smiled shyly and glanced at Xue Ling quietly, unable to conceal her gratitude.

In fact, she only understands a few words, and the previous columns were completely rushed and unsatisfactory.

I thought that if Xue Ling, a professional English talent, came here, she would be severely compared. I didn't expect that Xue Ling was so humble and went out of her way to praise herself in front of the director.

She is timid by nature and has little confidence. She can only do her job conscientiously in the newspaper office.The director rarely praised herself, and she thought the director never valued her.

Unexpectedly, the director said that she was a good young man and asked Xue Ling to learn from her - she really deserved it!

However, she was more happy inside.

What Xue Ling said not only made the leader very satisfied, but also took the opportunity to win the heart of his colleague Wang Qing.

For many years to come, thanks to Wang Qing's help and reminders, she was able to avert danger safely - this is a story for another day.

At noon, lunch was delivered in advance, and the director asked everyone to eat early.

Xue Ling thought about Cheng Tianyuan's words last night, wondering if he was here to help find a house. Looking at the two hot aluminum lunch boxes, he lost his appetite for a moment.

"Sister Wang Qing, you can eat by yourself. I'll go out and find someone. See you later!"

She stuffed two lunch boxes into a military cloth bag, stepped on plastic sandals, and hurried out of the newspaper office.
