Chapter 138
"Ever since my adoptive parents left, I have started translating articles for newspapers to make money.
Not long ago, the newspaper sent me the translation fee, along with an invitation, saying that there was a national-level competition that needed translators, and asked if I would like to participate in the training and screening.
Originally, I didn't have much interest in this matter, but when I learned that the first stop was actually the Sakura Country, I immediately changed my mind and agreed.
After I told my grandfather about this, my grandfather told me that it should be an ancient martial arts competition among various countries, and I would probably have to participate as a contestant.
But my idea is that no matter which side, whether it is an accompanying translator or a contestant, as long as I can go to the Sakura Country smoothly. As for what happened to Grandma back then, it has always been on my mind."
His brother still looked at Jun Qingqing in surprise:"Little sister, I didn't expect you to be so good at foreign languages?"
Bai Jincheng, who had been silent all the time, now said slowly:"She knows more than just the language of the Beautiful Country."
"Really? What other languages do you speak?"
"There aren't many, such as the Beautiful Country, the Cherry Blossom Country, the Korean Country, the Wine Country, the Paris Country, the Bear Country, and the Italian Country."
When Bai Jincheng said this, he wanted to mention more than one country, but he thought she would mention the Cherry Blossom Country. Who would have thought that there would be so many?
He was very surprised and confused. Jun Mulan on the other side was not much better. She was completely confused by the little sister's operation.
"How come you know so much at such a young age?"
"I have been exposed to it since I was a child. There are many books at home. Later, these books were not allowed to be shown in the open, so they were all stored in the basement, but I never stopped learning."
Since everyone will know that I can speak many languages in the future, I might as well say that I started learning since I was a child. Anyway, there are books in the basement at home. There is such a basement at home. I also mentioned to my grandfather before that when my adoptive parents were still there, someone came to my house regularly to teach me knowledge. And my adoptive parents could not deny these fabricated statements.
Feeling the admiring eyes from my brother and Brother Jincheng, I decisively brought the topic back:"Then is the competition mentioned by the newspaper this time the one mentioned by grandpa?"
"Indeed, I wanted to come back to you at the end of the month to discuss this with you. Who would have thought that you would know this in advance?"
"It's also normal. The newspaper will provide translations. According to what they said, these people are just a preliminary list. They need to undergo a period of training before the final personnel can be determined. This is why I knew it so early.
As for the current situation, I have already promised the newspaper that I still have to go there today to make things clear with them."
Seeing that her sister agreed without any hesitation, Jun Mulan still asked:"Little sister, why don't you ask about the specifics of the competition? Is there any danger? Their strength and other situations?"
"Brother, I agreed so quickly, on the one hand, I must go to the Land of Sakura, and on the other hand, it is probably for a very simple reason, the identity of a contestant must be more free than that of a translator."
Thinking about it carefully, these two reasons are really irrefutable
"Do you want to go home for dinner tonight? Mom will be very happy."
Before coming here, I had expected to see this scene, and I nodded in agreement without hesitation. After so many years from before the time travel to now, I can finally see my mother. It is impossible not to be excited.
"But recently my mother is at Si's house, so maybe if we go back at night, we will go directly to Si's house."
It makes sense when you think about it. Grandpa, grandma, and dad are all away, so it's not surprising that my mother occasionally stays at Si's house.
"Brother, why don't you live in the Si family too?"
Bai Jincheng, who was standing aside, answered this question for Jun Mulan:"Your brother is already married, so it's not good for him to take your sister-in-law and nephew to live with your grandfather."
"Then take them to grandpa's house for dinner."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be there. I will call my grandpa's house later and tell them about this matter so that they can prepare in advance."
Seeing that everything is almost arranged, there is no need to stay in the guesthouse any longer.
"Qingqing, in that case, let's talk while we walk. After we check out of the guesthouse, we'll set off to the newspaper office to take care of your business. If there are any other things later, we can deal with them together, and then I'll take you back to the Ancient Martial Domain. You can go directly to your grandpa's house in the domain, or you can go shopping first. Go back before dinner."
After helping Jun Qingqing pick up the suitcase she brought, he felt the light weight and knew that everything was in the space ring, but he still asked,"This, should I continue to hold it or put it away directly?"
After understanding what Brother Jincheng meant, he thought about it and said,"Take it first, and put it away after we check out and get in the car."
After speaking, he turned to his brother and said,"Brother, tell me about the people in my grandpa's family and their hobbies later. I have prepared a lot of gifts. After you introduce them to me, I will also plan what gifts each person will give."
