Chapter 669 (1/2)

After breakfast, Qin Yi helped Mrs. Zhou do translation proofreading.

Mrs. Zhou was born as a translator. After her retirement, Mrs. Zhou was awarded the honorary professor of DIDU University of foreign languages in her early years. However, she seldom lectured in these years. She usually took part in some translation activities or translated foreign literature by herself. She seldom had free time.

It's not the first time Qin Yi has helped the old lady proofread, but this time the field involved is too deep. She just has to understand the meaning, not to mention accurate translation.

Seeing that she was about to become a little old lady, Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, ”take a rest first.”

Qin Yi raised his head from a pile of dictionaries and rubbed his swollen forehead. He was a little frustrated: ”I never knew that my foreign language was so bad that I could not describe many words. I couldn't help wondering whether I had spoken a fake foreign language for more than 20 years.”

”You have done very well. Document translation needs professional knowledge. You have not been exposed to this aspect before, and it will be difficult at the beginning.” Mrs. Zhou comforted her and asked the servant to bring some tea. Qin Yi simply put down her dictionary and relaxed her mind.

”Is it boring?” After a sip of tea, Mrs. Zhou asked.

”No, it's hard, but it's interesting.” For new knowledge contact, she has always been not exclusive, but also ridiculed the old lady, ”you are so busy every day, the old man has no problem?”

”He doesn't have more leisure than I do. He can't see people in the sky. He either goes out to collect wind or writes in closed doors.”

Qin Yi only knows that the old man likes collecting. Is he still a writer?

When she asked, Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, ”it's not true. I have to fulfill my dream of being a literary youth when I was young.”

Literary youth? Qin Yi chuckled, ”no wonder the old man is not often at home.”

”When he was young, he couldn't stay at home all day, so he had to get sick.” Mrs. Zhou seemed to think of the past, and her lips brimmed with a gentle smile. When she was young, she and the old man both had their own careers. When they were old, they had their own hobbies. If they were in an ordinary family, they might have estrangement between husband and wife, but they didn't. no matter how busy the old man was, he would go home as soon as he was free.

Sometimes busy for a month or two can not see, the old man took time to spend most of the day to her office, see a face and rush back to work.

That kind of surprise and moving, still unforgettable.

“……” Qin Yi felt that he had been fed a handful of dog food, but he couldn't help persuading him: ”although you and the old man are in good health, you still need to pay attention to rest. Don't be too tired. Old ladies and old men of your age are enjoying happiness at home.”

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand. ”Supporting the aged is not equal to eating and waiting for death. Many things that I could not do when I was young, and I had time to do them when I retired. Just like when I was young, I wanted to be a free translator. At that time, I didn't have enough time, energy and discourse power. Now it's OK. This is the beginning of a new stage of life. We should pay more attention to it.”

Qin Yi thinks about it. Except for her older age, the old lady is no worse than the young in other aspects, and even has an advantage in time and experience.

Transposition thinking, let her do nothing every day, enjoy the happiness, afraid is also to idle out a lifetime of illness.

She nodded with empathy. ”It's my fault. Everyone has their own way of life. Like me, at your age, you'll just want to stay with your family.”

Mrs. Zhou laughs. Does this family refer to Muze? ”You're right. Everyone has their own way of life. It takes about three months for this document to be translated and proofread and revised again and again. It may take half a year for the final draft. During this period, I have to work like today every day.”

”- it's my life, regular, full, calm, even a little boring.” Mrs. Zhou looked at Qin Yi and said, ”mianmianmian, what about your life?”

Qin Yi was stunned.

Her life?
