"Yes, Mom, you are the best, most amazing, most professional translator. I believe you can definitely do it," Jiang Mianmian encouraged.
"Alright, got it. I’m going in now. If you two get hot, go buy so soda or ice cream. Don’t just wait here," Su Wanyu said, adjusting Jiang Mianmian’s slightly crooked sun hat.
"Got it, Mom. You don’t need to worry about us," Jiang Mianmian said, looking up with a little grown-up deanor.
"Okay, I’m going in now." Having said that, Su Wanyu held her head high and walked inside.
After about an hour, Su Wanyu ca out quite pleased.
From afar, she saw the father and daughter duo wearing sun hats, squatting under the shade, happily chatting and eating ice cream.
And in Jiang Mianmian’s other hand was an empty ice cream stick, indicating it was her second one of the day.
Seeing her mom co out, Jiang Mianmian quickly stuffed the last bite into her mouth, threw the stick into a nearby trash can, and bounced over.
"Mom, how did it go? How was the interview?" Jiang Mianmian asked eagerly.
"Wife, co, have so soda to cool off," Jiang Changhai also ca over, offering his soda after taking a sip, with an exceedingly attentive attitude.
Su Wanyu had talked quite a bit inside and felt quite thirsty. She accepted the soda, took a big gulp, then sighed comfortably and playfully tapped Jiang Mianmian’s nose, teasingly saying, "Your dad knows how to care for people, unlike you, little heartless one."
"Oh dear, Mom, I’m just worried about your career. Here, Mom, I have soda too, you can drink this. I’ll go buy you an ice cream later," Jiang Mianmian, having been chided, imdiately tried to make ands.
"Hmph, that’s more like it," Su Wanyu said, smiling at her daughter’s cute deanor.
"Mom, you still haven’t said how the interview went?" Jiang Mianmian asked again.
Her mom’s test result would determine whether she could move to the city with her, so how could she not be anxious?
Su Wanyu crossed her arms, coughed lightly, and said proudly, "Ahem, I thought it went pretty well. The dialogues and written translations in several foreign languages were quite good, not worse than so from other towns and counties."
"Oh, that’s great, Mom! I knew you were the best, nothing’s too hard for you," Jiang Mianmian exclaid, ecstatic, hugging her mom excitedly.
"Yes, yes, my wife is indeed the best, most amazing. Now our family of three can all co to the city," Jiang Changhai said happily.
"Alright, alright, you two, keep it down a bit, there are still people around," Su Wanyu noticed people passing in and out of the municipal governnt, and quietly reminded them.
"Haha, we’re just too happy. Co on, wife, let’s go to the state-owned restaurant for a nice al to reward you. You’ve worked hard lately," Jiang Changhai said, taking them both by the hand and happily heading to the restaurant.
The state-owned restaurant in the city was much better than the one in their town. Luckily, they arrived at alti, and after queuing for a bit, they ordered their dishes.
"Wife, after we finish eating, let’s go straight to No. 2 Middle School to find Teacher Fang. I just asked around, and it’s not far from here, about a twenty-minute walk," Jiang Changhai said to his wife.
During the hour or so outside, he hadn’t been idle. While buying ice cream, he mingled with street vendors and figured out the surroundings.
