CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 109 TRANSLATION?

As soon as Mr. Wang left, the foreign expert curiously started talking to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was the only one in the area who could communicate with him. He wanted to talk to others, but unfortunately, no one else understood what he was saying.

Jiang Xiaoxiao answered his questions, but as their conversation went on, she realized that this expert was actually a power plant equipment design specialist.

He was here specifically to set up the latest equipment for a power plant.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that indeed, three years later, a power plant called Sanli Power Plant was established in this area.

It generated hydroelectric power from the dam.

Reportedly, it was one of the top power plants in the country, solving the electricity problems for at least eight million people in this region.

She never expected that this foreign expert was actually invited by the power plant.

After making a phone call, Mr. Wang returned.

Qin Dazhi didn’t need to buy gasoline; the county head said they’d send someone to pick up the expert directly.

Buying gasoline would take time anyway, so it was better for the county to send a car over.

It was much faster than a tractor, and they could also bring gasoline along.

The county head would personally pick up the expert.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, realizing they were taking the foreign expert very seriously.

Qin Dazhi kept a smiling face, accompanying Mr. Wang and the foreign expert.

Unfortunately, none of them had the ability to talk to the foreign expert, so they could only sit there silently in frustration.

Qin Ming went to the kitchen and directly ate a big bowl of noodles. Knowing that his wife and sister-in-law had already eaten, he finally felt relieved.

On the way here, his father had even told him that he agreed for him and his wife to go back to meet the in-laws in a few days.

Qin Ming was very surprised at how smoothly things went.

"Yue’er, just rest here for a while. I’ll go out later to send off dad and Mr. Wang. You don’t need to go, it’s too inconvenient to run around with your big belly."

Jiang Yue’s feet had already started to swell these past few days.

Qin Ming felt sorry for his wife; after all, she wouldn’t be much help if she went out.

Jiang Yue was a bit worried, "Maybe I should still go with you, or else dad might criticize you again later. After all, Mr. Wang and the provincial expert, it doesn’t seem polite not to see them off."

Her father-in-law cared a lot about reputation, always wanting to do things properly.

He wouldn’t allow others to find faults.

They couldn’t embarrass the Qin family, after all, they couldn’t let Qin Dazhi’s reputation suffer in the slightest.

Otherwise, her mother-in-law would surely come over and scold them privately.

Though she wouldn’t say it directly to Jiang Yue, she would criticize Qin Ming in front of her.

It was still the same, indirect scolding.

"I said you don’t have to go, so you don’t have to go. You’ve already cooked for them for half a day, you’ve been working hard, can’t they understand even this little thing? After all, you’re pregnant, and even if it’s a county officer, they should be considerate of you!

No worries, I’ll talk to dad."

Qin Ming couldn’t bear it; his wife’s feet got swollen if she walked too much, making her feet unpresentable by the evening.

At this rate, how could she last until the baby is born in October!

Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed her sister’s troubled expression.

"Sister, just listen to your brother-in-law. When the time comes, I’ll go with brother-in-law to see off the guests. If they still find fault, then they’re really lacking compassion."

Jiang Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and went out.

Qin Ming patted his wife’s shoulder, "Listen, you rest here. Your sister is right, she is going in your place to see off the guests. If those people still find fault, then they really lack compassion, even if they are officials, they shouldn’t make things hard for the people."

Jiang Yue smiled and watched them leave.

Her husband was actually a good person.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Qin Ming went out, but saw Qin Dazhi hurriedly walking toward the kitchen.

"Oh! Xiao Xiao, Mr. Wang is looking for you. I heard you speak foreign language."

Qin Dazhi was sweating profusely. Originally, the county’s car was supposed to come soon to pick up the leaders.

But who knew this foreigner started speaking a lot of gibberish, and none of them could understand.

He was sweating profusely, and as a result, Mr. Wang asked him to quickly find Jiang Xiaoxiao.

He realized that Jiang Xiaoxiao, this young sister-in-law, could actually speak this incomprehensible foreign language.

He couldn’t help but regard her highly.

He didn’t expect this girl to be so capable.

Qin Dazhi couldn’t help but wonder, weren’t Jiang Yue’s parents just ordinary workers?

Could a worker’s family really raise such a capable daughter, since this foreign language wasn’t something just anyone could know?

His own son was a high school graduate.

He didn’t even recognize all the English letters.

Let alone speaking foreign language, he probably couldn’t even read it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and went directly into the room.

Sure enough, David, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, immediately got excited upon seeing her and rushed over to hold her hand.

He started speaking in gibberish excitedly.

Qin Dazhi looked at the foreigner holding Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand.

This foreigner was not particular about boundaries, how could he just touch her?

Mr. Wang didn’t pay attention to this, after all, he worked in the county and had encountered this situation before.

A handshake from a foreigner was a sign of courtesy.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, what is this foreigner saying? He’s been gesturing for a long time and I still don’t understand a thing."

"He said... he needs a translator, otherwise he can’t proceed with his work. He has a new idea and wants to exchange insights with your technical staff, and wants to meet them immediately."

Jiang Xiaoxiao could see that the foreign expert was a bit excited!

He seemed to be a real expert! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so anxious.

"A translator? The translator will only be back in three days, can’t he wait?"

Mr. Wang was also anxious. What would they do when the county head arrived later?

If they couldn’t communicate, would the county head just stare at the expert along with everyone, wide-eyed?

His eyes darted around!

And then he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Wasn’t she the perfect candidate!

"Hey, Jiang Xiaoxiao, Comrade Jiang, how about this, could you lend a hand? You’re so good at foreign languages, you could surely handle being a translator. This would be a contribution to the county, a glorious task, Comrade Jiang Xiaoxiao, and you’ll definitely be credited with a great achievement. Any requests you have, the county will surely resolve them for you."

Mr. Wang made such a broad offer because he knew that without Jiang Xiaoxiao, he couldn’t complete his task.

Besides, the foreign affairs officer was in the hospital recovering from surgery, they couldn’t just bring him out now.

Upon hearing, Qin Dazhi got anxious; this was a promise from the county head’s secretary.

He was afraid Jiang Xiaoxiao would refuse, they couldn’t afford to offend such an important figure.

He was just a production team leader, how could he compare to the county head’s secretary?

They couldn’t afford to offend them.

"Xiao Xiao, you really need to agree to this. This is a contribution to the country."

Of course, what excited Qin Dazhi even more was that Mr. Wang said they could put forward a request.

Just a word from them could get them a formal position in the county.

Such an opportunity was rare even in a thousand years, the benefits of the county and their farm were worlds apart.

Especially with Mr. Wang personally making the request, such an opportunity was truly rare.

How could he not be excited?
