Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 78
After the two had a hot breakfast in the kitchen, Cheng Tianyuan was ready to go out.

There was still snow falling outside, and there was a lot of snow on the road. Xue Ling told him to be careful, helped him get a hat to put on, and told him to put on the new coat he bought for him yesterday.

Cheng Tianyuan was reluctant to wear it at first, and whispered: "The newly bought sweater is already warm enough to wear inside, so let's wear the old coat."

"No!" Xue Ling replied: "The outer layer of the new coat is waterproof. If the snow doesn't stay on it for too long, it won't get wet. We work hard to make money to improve our lives. If you buy a coat and don't wear it, is it possible that you want to leave the house? Doesn’t it look fun?”

Cheng Tianyuan smiled, unable to do anything to her, so he pinched her pretty nose.

"Okay, I'll wear it."

Xue Ling took out another ten dollars and handed it to him.

Cheng Tianyuan Jun's face darkened slightly and he said: "Who said she would raise her for me? You buy the bicycle and I will raise you. We agreed a long time ago."

Xue Ling smiled and shook his head.

"No, I want you to use the money to buy beef and mutton, some bones, and some delicious snacks such as melon seeds and so on, which you can give to your sister-in-law. She will come over and I will treat her to something. , which can somewhat ease the relationship."

My sister-in-law is still a child at heart, so as long as she is given some benefits and she is short-tempered, she may not be so harsh when speaking to herself.

Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly and took the ten dollars.

"I'll tell her this when I get back."

Xue Ling watched him go out and told him to ride slowly before closing the cold iron door and returning to the house.

There are three stoves in the kitchen, and the temperature is higher than upstairs.

She simply went upstairs to get an English book and translated carefully on the kitchen table.

At around ten o'clock, shouts came from outside: "Brother! Brother! Open the door quickly! We are freezing to death!"

Xue Ling quickly closed the book and hurried out to open the door.

I saw Cheng Tianfang and Ouyang Mei, both dressed as chubby meatballs, waiting outside the yard, with snowflakes blowing in the north wind.

She quickly opened the door and led them into the kitchen.

"Drink some hot water first!"

She turned around and poured two glasses of hot water.

Cheng Tianfang and Ouyang Mei were not polite at all. They drank as soon as they picked up the drink, as if it were a matter of course.

Xue Ling didn't care about them and took out the buns from the stove.

"This is breakfast, barbecued pork buns and millet porridge. The millet porridge is still warming on the stove. You finish the buns first and then go spoon."

They were both not children anymore and she didn't have to take care of them.

Cheng Tianfang opened the lid of the pot and screamed when he saw it.

"Barbecued pork buns! Oh my god! Pork buns! My favorite!"

Ouyang Mei also laughed happily, took one, and ate it.

"A Yuan's craftsmanship is very good, and the buns he makes are even more delicious than those sold outside! I like them very much too."

Cheng Tianfang muttered as he gnawed: "This pork bun is packed with so much! Luxury! So luxurious! When I was at home, even during the Chinese New Year, the buns made by my brother only contained a little sauerkraut. Now that I live in a big house in the city, breakfast is Eating barbecued pork buns!"

Xue Ling frowned when he heard this and held back his words.

Cheng Tianfang secretly glared at her and continued dissatisfied: "My brother is very frugal. Someone must have told him to do this. He only has such a small salary, is it easy?! He doesn't think about the situation at home and just pursues enjoyment. Eat well and drink well!" Ouyang Mei chuckled secretly, deliberately keeping her mouth shut.

Xue Ling couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to look at Cheng Tianfang.

"Sister-in-law, what I pursue is to have three meals full and nutritious. Your brother has some calcium deficiency and long-term nutritional deficiencies. He works hard. I can't bear to have him work so hard. Since we moved here, I insist on adding some bone soup every day. Meat."

Cheng Tianfang snorted coldly: "I already knew it was your idea! My brother is so frugal that he wouldn't be willing to buy it if you didn't insist on it. Don't think you can make a little money and pursue a luxurious life all day long. My brother How difficult it is for him!"

Xue Ling shrugged and said: "It's really not easy for your brother, he doesn't earn much. I don't pursue luxury, but I have to eat as much as possible for three meals and don't burn out my body. It's true that I don't earn much, but I'm better than you." Ge Duo, so I can help him and still have enough to eat for three meals."

Cheng Tianfang stared at her suspiciously and asked, "How much do you earn per month? Can it be more than my brother? My brother earns one hundred and forty per month!"

"180." Xue Ling flipped through the English book in his hand and added leisurely: "If you do some translation part-time, you can earn several hundred more a month. Probably three or four times more than your brother."

In fact, she is getting better and better at translating now. If she speeds up her translation, she can earn about 1000 yuan a month.

However, there was no need for her to let them know all this.

Cheng Tianfang was dumbfounded and looked in disbelief.

Ouyang Mei on the side swallowed her saliva and asked in surprise: "What translation? What can be so profitable?"

Xue Lingyang raised the book in his hand and said: "I translated English into Chinese and got it for Capital Publishing House. I pay it every half month. When the remittance comes, I go to the post office here to pick it up."

Cheng Tianfang was surprised and asked: "What else do you know in English? Do you know foreign languages?"

"Yeah." Xue Ling nodded, feeling that it was too much to explain and she would definitely not understand. Just ask her to change her attitude. There was no need to explain it in too much detail.

Cheng Tianfang was silent and did not dare to speak. She bit into the bun and ate it quietly.

Ouyang Mei looked a little worried and drank millet porridge absently.

In this day and age, it’s pretty good for a man to earn 30 to [-] yuan a day, let alone a woman.

In rural areas, some women embroider shoe soles and earn less than five yuan a day.

I didn’t expect that Xue Ling could be so powerful. Not only could he work in a newspaper, but he could also earn so much money privately—even several times more than Cheng Tianyuan!
No wonder their food is so good. They eat millet porridge and barbecued pork buns for breakfast, and the meat fillings are so big...

The kitchen became quiet, except for the sound of two people eating.

After they were full, they were reluctant to leave and stayed in the kitchen to keep warm.

"It's very cold outside... It's not long before noon anyway! Let's stay here and have lunch before going over."

Then, the two chatted louder and louder.

Xue Ling couldn't stand the book, so he changed the briquettes in a stove, boiled another pot of water, and turned around to go upstairs.

The topics they talked about were very strange. They were all engaged at the head of the village, so-and-so's niece at the end of the village was getting married, how much was the bride price, how much was the dowry... Xue Ling felt so bored after hearing this.

The snow outside had not stopped yet, so she wrapped her coat around her, took a broom to sweep away the snow that had drifted in from the yard, and continued to clear the snow outside the yard to prevent it from forming ice and sliding easily.

"daughter in law!"

She looked up and saw Cheng Tianyuan pushing a bicycle and walking over quickly. There was a large basket on the back of the bicycle and a lot of food hanging in front of the bicycle, swinging back and forth.

There were white snowflakes on his shoulders and coat, and he explained: "There is a lot of snow on the ground, so I can't move much, so I might as well get down and push."

Xue Ling quickly stepped forward to help, pushed the bicycle into the yard, and then pushed it into the house.
