Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 73

After becoming an announcer, Qin Rou’s life was much busier than before. After tidying up the yard at home, she sat under the thatched umbrella and flipped through the manuscripts, drinking some hot tea.

There were a lot of unfamiliar things to learn about the job. Fortunately, the broadcasting work in the era was really simple. Qin Rou had come back from a more advanced era. Facing these old machines and equipment, she could quickly get started.

She could even help with debugging equipment.

D*mn hands-on ability.

The staff praised her, “Smart and powerful!”

“Xiao Qin is too capable, an excellent announcer, her literary program is very well broadcast, and the first broadcast received a good response.”

Compared with her, Wang Lichun was struggling to keep up.

Wang Lichun originally thought that she could use her excellent ability to surpass Qin Rou. When she first entered, she said a lot of modest words, saying, “I can’t compare to Qin Rou.” “Qin Rou is too powerful, she got first place in the test.” 

“She got admitted based on her ability, I was just lucky, I had sh*t luck.”

At the beginning, the people in the platform would comfort her, “How can you be admitted just because of sh*t luck? You must be capable.” 

The result came later.

Wang Lichun heard someone say in private, “She doesn’t really seem to get admitted by her ability.”

“Yes, yes, Xiao Qin is very good and has solid skills. I think her attitude is serious.”

“Some people can rely on sh*t luck for once, but it’s impossible to have sh*t luck every time.”

“It’s just…”

“Who made it slippery that day, she stepped on sh*t luck.”

Wang Lichun’s face got ugly. It was like shooting oneself in the foot.

In the past, Wang Lichun liked to deliberately belittle herself in front of people who were inferior to her, and then heard them say, “No way, you are much better than me. If you say that, how can I live?” 

That would give Wang Lichun an inexplicable satisfaction.

She also liked to pretend to be incompetent on purpose. In fact, she was already prepared, and only made a hit at the most critical moment, making people look up to her.

Finally, she would say something very lightly, like having sh*t luck.

When the person was really better than her, the words she deliberately demeaned herself became a real fact.

Wang Lichun had a very powerless feeling of anger.

Qin Rou met a girl from the editor and reporter team. Xi Xiangyi was a very elegant girl. Qin Rou liked the literary manuscripts she wrote, so she came into contact with this seemingly indifferent girl.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got in touch, the two chatted very happily. She found that Xi Xiangyi was not a cold and withdrawn girl. Like many people who liked to do writing work, she liked to read Russian novels, and she had collected a lot of novels.

Qin Rou shared fruit tea with her, and Xi Xiangyi lent her the novels she had collected, and even wrote literary manuscripts for her.

As Qin Rou was not very familiar with the popular novels of the era, she did not know which stories were good, so Xi Xiangyi would tell her a lot.

The novels that Xi Xiangyi recommended to her were really good, and since there were no other entertainment activities, and no mobile phones or computers, Qin Rou also started drinking tea and reading novels.

Sitting under the thatched umbrella to read the Russian novels, when Lu Yan came back, he would come over to read it with her, and she would discuss the plot of the novel with him. At the time, she found that Lu Yan was actually very good at Russian. Not only was he good at it, but he spoke it very well. He said that he learned it from a foreign ship repair master who used to be on the ship.

Of course, not a ship repairer, but an engineer.

Qin Rou secretly hoped that he could make a confession, but the upright man didn’t seem to understand the kind of romance.

Iron hearted man.

When discussing the plot with him, he really talked about the plot with her seriously.

Qin Rou: “…”

The man was probably the type who couldn’t speak love.

Coincidentally, neither did she.

Qin Rou actually planned to save it. She quietly asked Xi Xiangyi and borrowed a copy of “Jane Eyre” and planned to discuss it with Lu Yan.

In addition, Qin Rou had another sentence that she wanted to tell Lu Yan for a long time.

She wanted to say: I want to take back the words I said in the past of just living together.

“Lu Yan, look, the heroine in this book is so good at communication, look, I’m not very good…”

Lu Yan looked at her with a smile, “Who said that? You obviously know very well.”

“I’m very good at communication? I mean I’m not very good at talking about love.”

“You’re very good. You said that you want to live with me. Isn’t it the most beautiful love story?”

Qin Rou: “…”

That couldn’t be answered.
