Chapter 1392: She Is a Person with Patriotic Sentiments

~4 min read 740 words

Days passed one by one. A week later, Fu Yan Cheng had his leave cancelled and returned to the unit. His back wound had not yet healed; he could only handle daily affairs and could not resume training. This, however, made it convenient for him to return at fixed times to care for Liu Chuxue.

Liu Chuxue spent every day translating materials she had brought back from the First Machinery Ministry. Her translation speed was no worse than that of the experts. However, considering the baby in her belly, she translated only two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, maintaining a pace of one book every half month. This made other units want to snatch her away from the First Machinery Ministry.

The personnel sent by the unit to provide relief received orders from superiors to return to the unit two months after the disaster. When Mo Ruhua saw Shen Kaiyuan, who had become much thinner, her eyes immediately turned red: "You have finally returned."

Seeing his wife like this, he spread his arms, wanting to comfort her. But remembering his clothes were caked with grime, he quickly withdrew his hands: "Wife, I have returned safely. Let's talk after I clean up."

Mo Ruhua nodded with red eyes: "Good, let's go home."

This time, thanks to Liu Chuxue's advance warning, the authorities had prepared in advance. Combined with effective grassroots work, most citizens had been evacuated to safe areas beforehand. Although the damage to buildings was severe, casualties were greatly reduced. After the disaster, everyone actively threw themselves into relief efforts, and post-disaster reconstruction has now begun in stages.

Even so, post-disaster reconstruction still requires a huge amount of funds.

She was a person with patriotic sentiments. Thinking of the gold, silver, and antiques stored in her space, she reasoned that those treasures did not truly belong to her anyway. With the nation in need of rebuilding in all areas, she might as well take this opportunity to donate them anonymously, counting it as accumulating merit for the baby in her belly.

Of course, she was not such a selfless person; naturally, she would keep a small portion for herself as remuneration.

Having finished translating the several books she had collected that day, she thought she might as well deliver the translation drafts and check where those items should be stored.

To avoid worrying Fu Yan Cheng, she decided to return before noon and did not mention it to him.

Before going out, Fu Yan Cheng brought breakfast to the table for Liu Chuxue: "Wife, eat your breakfast, then take a walk in the courtyard before translating. The Physician said you cannot sit for long periods in your current condition."

Liu Chuxue, having just finished washing up, waved at him: "I know. It's getting late. Hurry up, don't be late."

Fu Yan Cheng smiled, walked up to her, leaned down, and kissed her on the cheek: "Stay home and be good. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Liu Chuxue smiled and nodded. After watching him leave, she quickly finished her breakfast and went out the door.

She was lucky; there was still an empty seat after she got on the vehicle. After greeting a sister-in-law she knew well, she sat down.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, she kept calculating where it would be suitable to store those items.

As they were about to enter the city, she suddenly remembered the place where she had previously stored the watermelons. This location was on the way from the unit entering the city. Thinking that fat water should not flow into strangers' fields, she might as well give Fu Yan Cheng a merit by the way, which would be a win-win situation, wouldn't it?

The more she thought about it, the better it seemed. She made the decision unilaterally and happily.

Upon reaching the city, she first went to the First Machinery Ministry to deliver the translated materials. After receiving the approval slip, she went to the finance department to collect the payment. Her current translation fee was three yuan per thousand characters. These three books totaled around one hundred and fifty thousand characters. Besides the four hundred and fifty yuan in fees, she also received some coupons.

Just as she was preparing to collect a few more books to take back, she heard someone call out to her: "Comrade Xiao, please wait a moment."
