Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Sending a Parcel to Hotown Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Sending a Parcel to Hotown This vacation, Yun Xiaoxiao started to get busy.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao both knew their mom was working, and they didn’t go into Yun Xiaoxiao’s room to disturb her.
Zhao Tianlei, taking the two kids with him, began so simple renovations. He hired so help, allowing Yun Xiaoxiao to focus on her work without interruptions.
This translation job paid ten yuan per thousand characters, which was considered a high wage.
If the translation was done quickly, reaching five thousand characters a day wasn’t a problem.
Not only did one need to know how to translate, but it was also essential to convey the context accurately; otherwise, the translation might be distorted.
Seeing his wife had work, Zhao Tianlei was still a bit anxious, but for now, there was no rush. Once the house was renovated and conditions were t, nothing was stopping them.
They could only fit in two rooms for the family.
Plus the two main rooms.
They also needed to clean out the adjacent storeroom to make a bathroom and a toilet.
Otherwise, going outside for the toilet was too inconvenient.
They also needed to have running water installed.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao had howork, too.
Da Bao had already started learning the alphabet.
As for Xiao Bao, his teacher taught them nursery rhys in class, and once he learned them, he would sing them to Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.
It had to be said, the two brothers learned things quite quickly.
Xiao Bao didn’t cry at school either.
Of course, there were still kids in the class who cried, clamoring for their moms or grandmas.
“Brother Shitou, I’m going to the post office to send so local specialties from Capital City to my parents.”
“Be careful on the road.”
Yun Xiaoxiao left the house carrying a fabric tote bag on her own.
She still went to the departnt store, even wandered around the Cooperative, toured outside for a while, and ended up at the post office with the bag full of various items.
“Comrade, I want to mail these items.”
The post office staff started to inspect everything, then began packaging and even asked Yun Xiaoxiao to write down the mailing address and the recipient’s na.
Coming back from the post office, Yun Xiaoxiao still brought back quite a lot of food.
“Masters, co have so soda….”
Two people working, a master and his apprentice, skilled in carpentry.
Late that afternoon, Yun Xiaoxiao took the two kids out for a stroll and ran into Du Ruo.
“Sister Yun, I finally found you.” Du Ruo had gone to Tsing University early in the morning to find soone. But not finding them, she went out with her roommate to buy things and stroll around the neighborhood.
“Hi, Sister Du….”
“Hi, Sister Du….”
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, Du Ruo’s roommate glanced at her and her gaze fell on the two children.
One student calling another female comrade ‘sister’, and that female comrade’s children calling the student ‘sister’, this seed a bit mixed up in seniority.
“Sister Yun, where have you rented a house?”
Du Ruo knew that Yun Xiaoxiao’s family was in Capital City, so they couldn’t possibly live in a dormitory.
“Sister Yun, have Da Bao and Xiao Bao registered yet?”
Her roommate, Tian Li, really wanted to remind her; you’re asking so many questions at once, how are you expecting her to answer all of these?
“They’ve registered. Da Bao passed the school entrance exam, and for Xiao Bao, it was even simpler.”
They both registered for school.
“They’ve started attending.” Yun Xiaoxiao said with a gleeful smile.
They’ve registered, they’ve started school.
“We didn’t rent a place, we bought a small, old house, enough for the whole family.”
Bought a house to live in?
How much did that cost?
Even a small old place would cost thousands, or even more.
It seems this friend of her roommate must have so money.
“But how do you live there? I’ve heard the winters in Capital City are very cold.”
“We can heat a kang, and we could also buy an electric heating blanket.”
