After the new home was settled, An Nan and Qin Hongwu lived in. They had their own rooms. In addition, Qin Hongwu only came back to eat and sleep at night. Therefore, although the relationship between them was dull, they were still peaceful.

With a place to settle down, An Nan put the money making on the agenda. It was 1985, and it had been several years of reform and opening up. Therefore, doing business is no longer a speculative thing, and the economic market is gradually becoming weak. At this time, as long as you have the courage and brain to go into the market, you will basically not have to worry about not being able to make money.

An Nan cannot do long-term business, but short-term business is still OK. Now the special economic zone in the south is booming. She plans to go there to resell some clothes, electrical appliances and other things to make a difference. She will hurry up and make a fortune and come back to concentrate on studying. Moreover, the south is relatively open and has more English learning materials, so she can bring more back.

So An Nan told Qin Hongwu that her mother was seriously ill and she wanted to go back to take care of her. Qin Hongwu did not care about her relatives' situation and did not understand her, so she did not suspect that An Nan was lying to her, so she gave her some money and asked her to go home.

Qin Hongwu only gave more than 100 yuan, and the principal was a little small. An Nan took the money to find the antique street in the black market in Beicheng to pick up the bargain. He increased the principal ten times, and it was one thousand. Then he took the time to take the train to the south.

After working as a sacker in the Southern Special Administrative Region for more than a month, An Nan made a lot of money, more than 50,000 yuan. This money was a huge sum of money in this era when the average monthly salary was 30 or 40 yuan, which was temporarily enough for her to support her living expenses in the first few years.

After working hard outside for more than a month, An Nan is still dark and thin, but she is very happy because there are indeed many new English learning materials in the Special Administrative Region. With the development of reform and opening up, more foreign investors are investing in China, so there are more translations when they need to be translated. Whether it is translation or interpreter, they are all in short supply talents in this era, so An Nan is very confident in her future career prospects.

She was already eighteen years old and became an adult, so she got a passbook and deposited the huge sum of money. Of course, she would not tell others about the money, otherwise how could she explain how it came about?

Once An Nan "returned to her hometown", she brought back a lot of things in a lot of money. The people in the family building were curious about what she brought back, but An Nan was not familiar with them, so they didn't dare to come to inquire. An Nan was so happy that she was fine.

"How is your mother's illness?" Qin Hongwu asked politely.

An Nan was suddenly guilty. Fortunately, she had sent two hundred dollars to her mother before, so she felt relieved, but she was very calm: "It's already done, I'm back now."

"Yeah," he nodded lightly, his eyes stuck to the TV and didn't even look at An Nan. It was obviously a routine perfunctory approach.

The TV was bought during the month when An Nan worked hard in the Special Administrative Region. Qin Hongwu would watch a news broadcast every day after dinner. An Nan thought that there might be programs teaching English on TV now, so he was happy to watch it on Qin Hongwu's TV.

She originally bought a lot of English tapes from the SAR and planned to go to the town to buy a tape recorder one day to listen to. Now she has an extra way to learn, and she is very happy.

"I don't work here and have a lot of time, so I want to learn English and plan to do a translator in the future..." An Nan told Qin Hongwu about his plans. The two were under the same roof, so it would be better to open things, so that he would not be suspicious.

Qin Hongwu was shocked when he heard An Nan's words, and his eyes shifted from the TV screen to An Nan. He remembered his stepmother that she seemed to mention that An Nan had only been in high school for one year and dropped out of school. He understood what level of English education in the countryside was, so he couldn't help frowning, his eyes became sharp, and he looked at her with great doubt: "Can you still learn English? Translation is not that easy to be aware of! Don't just get hot, and give up after three minutes of enthusiasm, which is embarrassing!"

When An Nan saw him, he doubted himself immediately and smiled anxiously: "Don't worry! I have bought all the learning materials for you who can't lose you. I will let you see if I can persist! If I can't become a translator in my life, I will not be a human being!"

Qin Hongwu looked coldly with a cold face, and his small breasts were almost unhurried and undulating as a guarantee. He stared at his woman with his head held high and dissatisfied, and snorted contemptuously: "Don't overestimate one's ability. Others who have been studying English for several years may not be able to be translators. Can you be a person who studies at home? It's better for people to have self-knowledge."

"You are still a soldier, and you don't even have the spirit of 'doing it if you know you can't do it'. Isn't you able to become a talent if you self-study? It's not too late to fight and laugh at me after I have no results after learning for a few years. Now you should shut up!" An Nan stared at Qin Hongwu angrily. He looked down on others too much. Is it the only one in the world that his first love, Bai Yueguang, is the best? Others don't even know how to improve their studies?

"By the way! Don't disturb my studies if you have nothing to do in the future. Of course, I won't disturb you either." An Nan said, then went back to her room and closed the door. Then she quickly calmed down and felt that it was really unnecessary for her to have a fight with Qin Hongwu, so she focused on learning English again.

Qin Hongwu looked at An Nan walking away with a sneer, feeling that she was really ignorant and ridiculously arrogant.

Since then, the two of them have returned to their daily routine of not hiding the river. An Nan has been focused on learning English and has arranged his time every day. He must read for an hour in the morning, then write verbs, memorize sentence patterns, and then do questions and read... Her English foundation in her previous life is still there, so it is not difficult to pick it up again.

As time goes by, everyone in the family yard knows that An Nan is learning English by herself. These military wives are married and have children. They are busy doing laundry, cooking and taking care of their children every day. They spend a little time on gossiping others and comparing with each other. So An Nan, who memorizes English all day, becomes the only exception. The military wives think she is a weird person and are still talking about whether she has mental problems behind her back. Otherwise, why would she still do these "useless" things after getting married? She doesn't focus on taking care of men and children at all... Of course, she doesn't have children yet, but she should also prepare for having children. How can she do whatever she wants like she is not married?!

So a kind sister-in-law came to the house and persuaded An Nan not to focus on evil ways, and to learn English without making money. She is no longer a student, and should take care of her own home, do housework, and cook... They are committed to correcting An Nan's unique alternative behavior and let her return to the "right path" of being a wife...

Once or twice, An Nan endured it, but later because she "did not change after repeated teachings", she heard a lot of comments behind her back, and An Nan simply closed the door and refused to visit. Whatever their aunts and sisters said, she remained unmoved and did what she should do, and she should learn how to learn.
