Due to the nature of the work, spring planting had begun, so Su Mo spent more time in the experimental field. There is no need to go to the office every day, just go back once or twice a week.
Even other office-based cadres must go to the countryside at this time to participate in labor appropriately, check the farming progress of each brigade, coordinate the use of agricultural equipment, and guide production.
On May 1st, Monday, Su Mo arrived at the office early. There will be a regular meeting on Monday, so unless there are special circumstances, you have to come.
During the meeting, Fu Ming praised Su Mo at the beginning, saying that her research on greenhouse vegetables had been recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, and that her research report was very rigorous and standardized, and had been unanimously recognized by the leaders of various counties. Good reviews.
After research and decision by the county party committee, Su Mo will be promoted one level from level 28 to level 27. The salary will also be increased from 27.5 yuan to 30 yuan. Other benefits will also be increased as appropriate.
Su Mo was very happy. She was promoted to one level after working for 4 months, which meant that she was doing a good job.
She estimated that after the new product breeding project she was working on was completed and a few new varieties that were easy to survive and had high yields were released, they might be able to upgrade to another level.
During lunch, Su Mo specially ordered two meat dishes to celebrate herself.
While eating, Su Mo saw several female post office employees who looked at her strangely from time to time.
Su Mo thought it was something like her clothes that were not worn properly. After checking, she found nothing wrong. When she asked the people next to her, they didn't say there was something on her face.
After eating, Su Mo went directly to ask.
"Comrade Su, the post office has a large remittance slip for you. You can go and pick it up later." A female comrade explained Su Mo's confusion.
The commune is so big, even if everyone has not spoken to each other, they all know each other.
Su Mo is also somewhat famous in the post office, because there are always letters and remittance orders, and they also know that Su Mo contributes articles to newspapers.
I didn't expect that the newspaper company would send so much money this time, and I didn't know what it was about.
Su Mo guessed that the translation fee had arrived. She estimated that it might only be one or two hundred yuan, but it was indeed a large remittance.
When Su Mo went to the post office and saw the remittance slip, she was shocked.
There is actually 745 yuan! !
No wonder others looked at her strangely. In a commune, she earned two or three years' salary.
It turns out that in the novel, it is true that the heroines make money by translating!
Along with the money order came a letter. Su Mo quickly collected the remittance and took the letter back to the office to read it.
It turned out that after the editors of the newspaper saw Su Mo's translation, they unanimously thought that her translation was excellent, and finally gave her a super high translation fee of 4 yuan/1,000 words.
Su Mo had to sigh that Haishi Newspaper was really a conscientious newspaper and did not deduct any translation fees from her.
However, whether we should continue to translate it later depends on the response after it is published. If the response was good, the editor would send the remaining manuscript to Su Mo for translation.
In the afternoon, word spread that Su Mo had received so much royalties.
Even Lu Xiaolan secretly came to the office to ask Su Mo when she was not busy.
"Third sister-in-law, did you really charge more than 700 yuan in royalties?"
Su Mo nodded, "It's not the manuscript fee, it's the translation fee. I helped translate some books for the newspaper."
"Third sister-in-law, you are so awesome." Lu Xiaolan praised, this is her salary for more than two years.
She thought reading was of little use before, but now it seems that it is still very useful. No, when the opportunity comes, you can make a lot of money in no time.
Now, she wanted to pick up the book and read it again.
"Third sister-in-law, do all translators get such a high salary?"
"No, the main reason is that in our country, there are too few people who know how to translate, so this is a little higher." Su Mo said.
During this period of time, Lu Xiaolan didn't know whether she had figured it out or had a plan in mind, and she looked cheerful again.
"How about it? Has your mother-in-law agreed to the less payment?" Su Mo asked.
"I didn't agree at first, but then I agreed after seeing that I was asking her son to spend money." Lu Xiaolan said.
She now fully understands that people should be kinder to themselves.
She bought a lot of things for herself in the past two months, and she was in a really good mood. When it’s time to eat, when it’s time to spend time, why bother doing it?
When Lu Xiaolan was about to leave, Su Mo asked her to help keep a few kilograms of cake, and then take it back and give it to the Lu family.
The fact that she has received so much royalties has been spread throughout the commune. It is estimated that the Lujiacun brigade will know about it soon. Buy some things in advance and everyone will share a share. When you are free, buy some meat and take it to the elders for everyone to eat. A meal.
In the afternoon, each brigade came to discuss and report on the production progress. The cadres of each brigade were still fighting for the tractor, and their faces were red.
A tractor can turn over more ground in one day than even a dozen strong men can turn over. This allows the tractors to stay in their own group for one more day, which saves a lot of trouble.
While other teams were fighting, Lu Qingan and Lu Baoguo were watching the show.
It’s great that this brigade has tractors!
In previous years, they were also the ones who would get red-faced and argue.

In the evening, when the Yang family was having dinner, Yang Jingming told him about Su Mo's promotion.
Fang Chunfang said: "Look, it's good that there are people on top. She has only been working for four months and she has already been promoted to one level. I think she will probably need to be promoted to another level by the end of the year."
Her son has been working for several years and has only been promoted to three levels in total.
Lu Xiaolan immediately retorted, "This is what my third sister-in-law did. She did a research and didn't spend a cent of money, but made money instead. Didn't Jing Ming just say that the report she wrote was the best in the county?" The leaders all praise me.”
Fang Chunfang curled her lips, "This county party secretary is an uncle. If he wants to say yes, others dare to say no?"
"This county party committee secretary is not just a man of his word. Secretary Geng is a good, upright and upright official. He will not do such a thing of abusing power for personal gain."
Fang Chunfang was choked by Lu Xiaolan, but she didn't dare to say that Geng Changqing was not good. After all, whether her son could be promoted in the future would depend on others.
However, my wife here seems to be possessed by a demon recently, and she pays less and less attention to her mother-in-law.
Could it be that she feels that her mother's family has a backer and her back is strengthened?
