Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

"No!" Chen Yan said domineeringly, holding Qin Yurou's hand. "Why do I make money? It's to make you live a good life! If you are happy, I will be happy! Besides, it only costs a few dollars to buy some clothes or something!"

"But aren't we going to build a house?" Qin Yurou said in a low voice.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry about that! Look what this is!"

As he spoke, Chen Yan took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Qin Yurou.

"Ah, you, where did you get so much money? Didn't you buy a bicycle with the money you earned before?" Qin Yurou asked in surprise, covering her mouth.

Chen Yan said proudly, "Of course I earned it! Do you remember Haidong yesterday? I helped the chemical factory a lot, and then they gave me a bonus of 300 yuan. Add the remaining money from before, and the money from selling popcorn the day before yesterday, and I have nearly 400 yuan! And I also found another job!"

As he spoke, Chen Yan told Qin Yurou that he worked as a translator in the Xinhua Bookstore and earned 58 yuan in just one afternoon!

Qin Yurou held a thick stack of money in her hand and said, "Is this probably about five hundred?"

"Almost. I don't know the exact amount! Xiaoyu, keep the money. I'll find a way to earn some more in the next few days. In a few days, we'll have enough money to renovate the house!"

"Ah, so much money, you want me to keep it, no no, what if I lose it!" Qin Yurou was shocked when she heard Chen Yan say that, and quickly put the money in her hand back into Chen Yan's hand, "Besides, this money is earned by you, it's not appropriate for me to hold it!"

Chen Yan shook his head, "Silly! What I earn is yours! You are in charge of the money in our family! I am responsible for making money, and you are responsible for spending it! Also, you should return the two hundred yuan that Dad gave you later! They are not having an easy life either! And my second brother hasn't even found a wife yet!"

Qin Yurou nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll keep our money! I'll send back the two hundred that Dad gave me. Chen Yan, you're selling popcorn and doing that translation work, aren't you too tired?"

She felt a little sorry for Chen Yan.

"It's okay! What's the big deal! Letting you live a good life sooner is more important than anything else! Just have a good rest at home today. At noon, if you want to eat by yourself, eat by yourself. If you don't want to cook, go to mom and dad and eat with them! Return the money by the way! You can give it to mom secretly, dad will definitely not accept it! Be careful not to let eldest brother and second brother see it, lest they be unhappy!" Chen Yan warned.

Qin Yurou kept nodding her head and wrote down everything Chen Yan told her.

"Okay, I've remembered it all! Then hurry up and drive slowly on the road! I'll wait for you to come home! What do you want to eat in the evening? I'll make it for you!"

Then Chen Yan pushed his bicycle out of the door, and Qin Yurou stood at the door and watched Chen Yan disappear from her sight.

"Chen Yan has really changed a lot! But... this kind of Chen Yan makes me so happy!" Standing at the door, Qin Yurou murmured, her eyes red with tears of happiness.

When Chen Yan arrived in the county town, he did not go to the cinema first, but went directly to the Xinhua Bookstore!

The cinema didn’t open until around nine in the morning, and when he arrived in the county town, it was only half past seven!

It was not until about eight o'clock that Zhu Dakang came to work.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Chen Yan and asked in surprise, "Has Chen Yan been here for a while?"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "I just got here not long ago!"

However! Although he said so, Zhu Dakang saw that the wheels of Chen Yan's car were wet with dew, and he obviously knew that Chen Yan had come a long time ago.

"You've worked so hard! I'm sorry! I didn't expect you to come so early! You usually start work at 8:30, and I..." Zhu Dakang said a little embarrassedly.

Chen Yan waved his hand, "Uncle Zhu, don't say that! I really didn't wait long!"

Zhu Dakang smiled, then opened the door of the bookstore and brought Chen Yan in.

"Uncle Zhu! Please get me the manuscript. I will translate it for a while. I will go out for a while after nine o'clock. I have something to deal with. I will continue translating when I come back. Then in the afternoon, I will translate in the bookstore until the evening. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, why not!"

Zhu Dakang made two cups of hot tea and brought one to Chen Yan.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu!" Chen Yan said flattered.

"Don't be polite! Seeing that you are so enthusiastic about the translation work and come so early! I finally understand why your translation ability is so high! God rewards hard work!" Zhu Dakang said with emotion.

however!

Chen Yan felt a little embarrassed. I just wanted to make more money! After all, I promised Xiaoyu to settle down and hold a wedding, which would cost a lot of money.

But he didn't have the courage to say this.

After drinking some hot tea, Chen Yan felt warm all over and felt in good condition.

At this time, Zhu Dakang also handed the translated manuscript to Chen Yan!

Chen Yan took it and started translating!

By around 9:30, I had translated four to five thousand words!

He raised his head and rubbed his sore wrist, then said to Zhu Dakang, "Uncle Zhu! I'm going out first. I'll come back when I'm done!"

"Okay, go ahead!" Zhu Dakang nodded.

Chen Yan rode his bicycle quickly to the cinema.

After taking the money from yesterday's sale from Han Meimei, he was about to go in when Han Meimei suddenly called out to Chen Yan, "Chen Zhiqing, wait a minute!"

"Ah? What's wrong? Sister Han?" Chen Yan turned around and asked.

"I have something to discuss with you. Let's go to the office and talk!" Han Meimei's face turned a little red.

Chen Yan nodded and followed Han Meimei into the office. Han Meimei tiptoed to close the office door, as if she was afraid that someone outside would see them.

This made Chen Yan look a little unnatural.

If Chen Yan didn't know that people of this era had simple thoughts and didn't have so many messy things, and he also knew Han Meimei, the elder sister, quite well, he would have called for help.

Well, boys nowadays don’t need to worry too much about how to protect themselves when they go out, so it should be fine, right?

"Well, Sister Han, if you have anything to say, just tell me!" Chen Yan coughed dryly and said to Han Meimei.

Han Meimei held the enamel pot and poured a glass of water for Chen Yan, "Drink the water first!"

Chen Yan had just finished drinking tea at Zhu Dakang's place and was not thirsty at all. He simply held the enamel pot and asked with a smile, "Sister Han, we are not strangers! If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is no need to be so polite!"

"Oh! Chen Zhiqing, you intellectuals are so amazing! You can tell at a glance that I have something to talk to you about! I, I mainly don't know how to say this!" Sister Han blushed and was a little embarrassed.

"Sister! Your hesitation makes me a little nervous! Is there something wrong with our business?" Chen Yan asked a little nervously. After all, the sound of popcorn, from a broader perspective, could be considered speculation!

There might be someone jealous who will report it!

Han Meimei shook her head and said, "No, I want to ask you, can you let me sell the popcorn in the morning as well?"

After saying that, Han Meimei quickly added, "Don't worry, if I help you sell it in the morning, it won't cost you a dollar. Just give me some money!"

Chen Yan did not answer the question immediately after hearing it. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister Han! If you want to sell it, I can give it to you! I can also charge you one dollar in the morning! You can make two dollars a day! To be honest, I can do this business by myself. The main reason is that you have always been good to me, Sister Han! And I also need someone to take care of me in the cinema! I can also relax a little! But now you suddenly tell me this, I know why!"
