After eating and drinking enough, the next thing to consider is where to rest at night.

Now there are no private hotels and hotels, only state-run guest houses.

Not to mention that place is expensive, the service is not good!

More importantly, the single rooms in the current hostels are basically reserved for leaders, and ordinary people don't have this kind of treatment.

If Zhou Yang lived in a guest house, he would have to share a room with other people, which made him very uncomfortable.

So if there were other options, Zhou Yang really didn't want to live in a guest house.

However, he is an outsider and has no relatives in Ningcheng. Apart from the guest house, he seems to have no other place to go.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yang decided to spend the night at the guest house.

But just as he walked out of the state-run hotel and was about to go to the guest house, he suddenly heard someone call his name.

Looking up, I found that it was Old Xu from Xinhua Bookstore!

At this moment, Old Xu was standing in front of the bookstore, waving to him.

Zhou Yang crossed the road, walked up to Old Xu, and asked with a smile, "Brother Xu, are you going home?"

"It's off work. I saw you coming out of the state-run hotel, so I want to chat with you. Is it convenient?"

"It's convenient...it's convenient, as long as it doesn't delay Brother Xu and you get off work!"

"Hehe, my job is relatively leisurely. It doesn't matter if I work early or late!"

As he said that, Lao Xu opened the locked door of the bookstore again, and invited Zhou Yang into the room.

Afterwards, the two sat down again across Lao Xu's desk.

"Xiao Zhou, after you left just now, I suddenly thought of a question. Are you coming to Ning City for business or to visit relatives and friends?" Old Xu asked.

"Neither, to tell you the truth, I came to Ning City this time to earn some money to subsidize my family!"

Old Xu was not surprised by this answer.

Everyone is living a miserable life right now, and it is considered good to be able to eat enough, but anyone with a little ability wants to earn some extra money to improve their lives.

"In other words, you won't be able to stay in Ningcheng for long?"

"Well, I took three days off with the team, and I have to return to the team the day after tomorrow!"

There was a trace of regret in Lao Xu's eyes, but he said immediately: "I have sent someone to send your manuscript to the provincial capital overnight. If there is no accident, there will be news tomorrow. If it is qualified, I will settle it for you as soon as possible." Royalties!"

"Thank you Brother Xu!"

"You're welcome, in fact, helping you is also helping me!"

"?"

Seeing Zhou Yang's puzzled face, Old Xu immediately explained: "You know, all walks of life across the country are now learning advanced Western technology and experience, and there are a lot of documents that need to be translated every day, so the above will give each province The bookstores in the city have arranged corresponding translation tasks and conducted regular assessments."

"You also know that our Ning City is just a small remote town, and there are no local universities, so there are very few translators. Every month, I need to ask my grandpa to ask my grandma to find someone to complete the tasks assigned to us. It takes time. It takes effort and money!"

"If the quality of your translated manuscript is qualified, that would be a good thing for me."

After listening to Lao Xu's explanation, Zhou Yang immediately understood the stakes.

"You can rest assured about the quality of the manuscript. With me here, Brother Xu, you don't have to worry about completing the task in the future!"

"That's good, you don't know how difficult it is to find a qualified translator. Every time a task is assigned, I have to peel off my skin. It's really hard to describe!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said: "In the future, there will be tasks from above, Brother Xu, you can hand them over to me directly. In this way, after your tasks are completed, I can also earn money, a win-win situation!"

"Okay, okay...Xiao Zhou, you haven't settled down where you live at night, have you?"

"Not yet, I'm planning to spend the night at the guest house!"

"Go to the guest house, come to my house, and let your sister-in-law prepare two dishes by the way, let's have a drink at night!"

"How can I do that, brother Xu, you and sister-in-law are too disturbed!"

"do not bother..."

However, Zhou Yang interrupted Old Xu without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Brother Xu, I know your intentions are good, but let's forget it this time! The first reason is that I have nothing to prepare today, so how can I come to visit empty-handed?" , not suitable!"

"Secondly, you also know that I don't have much time. I plan to translate some manuscripts at night and raise the level as soon as possible!"

Old Xu saw that Zhou Yang's words were sincere, so he didn't force him anymore, and instead said: "If you plan to continue translating manuscripts at night, then you should live in the bookstore!"

"Live in a bookstore?"

"Well, there is a small private room in the store, which I usually use for my lunch break. It has a bed and a quilt, so it's no problem to simply make do for one night!"

Zhou Yang was a little moved immediately. He didn't care about saving the accommodation fee, but the environment here is much better than the guest house, which is very suitable for office work.

But when he saw a room full of books, he still hesitated and asked, "Is this convenient?"

"Hehe, there is nothing inconvenient. There is nothing here except these cheap books! And if you live in the store, you will save the deposit for the books!"

According to the rules of the bookstore, translators are required to pay a corresponding deposit if they want to take English books away.

After the translation of the work is completed, the book will be returned and the deposit will be refunded.

Hearing this, Zhou Shen knew that Old Xu really invited him sincerely, he hesitated a little, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, then please trouble Brother Xu!"

"Hahaha, no trouble, no trouble!"

Afterwards, Old Xu pointed out the location of the small single room to Zhou Yang, and at Zhou Shen's request, he picked up two English periodicals for him, then locked the door and left the bookstore.

.......

After Lao Xu left, Zhou Yang returned to the small round table in the afternoon.

Then, with the help of the small light bulb in the store, I continued to translate.

In the silent bookstore, there is a lonely lamp alone, and there is no other sound except the friction of paper and pen.

I don't know how long it took, but after Zhou Yang finished translating the two books left by Lao Xu, the sky outside was already slightly bright.

It turned out that he accidentally worked all night.

Looking at the pale sky outside, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile, he forgot how long he hadn't worked so hard.

Although he felt a little tired physically, Zhou Yang felt extremely satisfied in his heart looking at the thick stack of manuscripts in front of him.

From yesterday afternoon to today, he has translated three periodicals, involving 21 short stories and two long articles.

According to the agreed remuneration, one short story costs five yuan, totaling 105 yuan.

And those two novels are about 9 words long, and if calculated at 3 yuan per thousand words, it is 27 yuan.

In other words, if all his manuscripts are approved, Zhou Yang will receive 132 yuan in remuneration.

Even though this amount of money was nothing to Zhou Yang, who received a special national allowance in his previous life, it was even a bit insignificant.

But this amount of money is a windfall for him right now!

Zhou Yang knew the price level in the 70s. The monthly salary of an industrial worker in the county was less than 30 yuan, and wages of more than ten yuan were everywhere.

130 yuan is equivalent to half a year's salary for a general worker, which is indeed not a small amount.

Besides, in Zhou Yang's family, after more than four years of marriage, even with the help of the village party secretary and old father-in-law, the family only has a savings of about one hundred yuan.

In other words, it took only one day for Zhou Yang to earn his savings from the previous four years.

More importantly, with this experience, Zhou Yang knew that he had cracked the code of wealth!

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed.

He took a big gulp of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confused, puzzled, all kinds of emotions came to my mind.

where is this?

Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more at a loss.

A single dormitory?

Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.

And my own body... How come there is no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu quickly swept his gaze across the room, and finally settled on a mirror by the bedside.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him!

My previous self was a handsome young man in his 20s who had been working for a while.

But now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student...

This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success...

The body and appearance have changed. This is not a question of whether to have surgery or not, but a fairy art.

He turned into a completely different person!

Could it be... that he crossed over by himself?

In addition to the mirror on the bedside which was obviously placed in a bad feng shui position, Shi Yu also found three books beside it.

Shi Yu picked it up and took a look, the title made him silent for an instant.

"Necessary Beast Breeding Handbook for Novice Breeders"

"Postpartum Care of Pet Animals"

"Guidelines for Evaluation of Alien Beast Ear Girls"

Shi Yu:? ? ?

The titles of the first two books are quite normal, what's the matter with you in the last one?

"cough."

Shi Yu's eyes were serious, and he stretched out his hand, but soon his arm stiffened.

Just when he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large amount of memories flooded in like a flood.

Icefield City.

Pet breeding base.
