Chapter 364 Building a Career
Jiang Zhizhi felt heartbroken seeing Fang Hua cry; she wished she could be like that too, but reality didn't allow it.
"Mom, Zhou Xiye has his responsibilities, which is good. At least in the future, Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang will be proud. When others ask about their father, they can proudly say that their father is protecting the motherland."
Fang Hua didn't care about the honor. She cried quietly for a while, then, afraid of delaying Jiang Zhizhi, said, "I'm fine. You should go and rest too. You haven't had a chance to rest either, having been up all night."
Jiang Zhizhi refused and waited until Fang Hua went upstairs to rest before returning to her room.
In the bedroom, Zhou Xiye lay on his side, looking at his little Zhou Ji who was sleeping soundly. The little guy's arms seemed not long enough, so they were curled up on either side of his little head. His two little legs were also curled up, and he was sleeping like a little frog, cute and well-behaved.
Having been back for a few days, this was the first time Zhou Xiye had slept with the child, and it felt quite novel.
She lay on her side, propping her chin up, staring intently at the child, as if she could never get enough of looking at him.
Jiang Zhizhi changed into her pajamas, carefully climbed into bed, and lay down next to Xiao Zhouji. Looking at Zhou Xiye's expression, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Tomorrow night, let Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang sleep here with us."
Zhou Xiye had no objection, but raised a question: "I didn't notice before, but look at Xiao Zhou's arms, they seem a bit short. When he stretches them out, it seems like he can't reach the top of his head."
Jiang Zhizhi stared at him, then couldn't help but laugh: "You...you really don't observe carefully. You only noticed today? They're still young and will grow taller. Their head-to-body ratio is quite strange right now, but that's what makes them so cute."
As she spoke, she grabbed Xiao Zhouji's little hand and kissed it. The little guy was completely unaffected and continued to sleep soundly.
Zhou Xiye reached out and took Jiang Zhizhi's hand, which was holding Xiao Zhouji's small hand, and wrapped it in his palm. He looked at Jiang Zhizhi gently and said, "Mom, are you worried about me? Don't worry, I will listen to your advice. If a war or conflict really happens, I will definitely take preventative measures."
"Tell me again about the cause and outcome of this war."
Jiang Zhizhi was slightly taken aback, not expecting Zhou Xiye to believe her. After thinking for a moment, she explained in detail the causes of the war and the tragic situation when they were trapped.
She didn't notice at all that Zhou Xiye used "tell me again" instead of "what else did Sun Xiaoyue say?", which made a big difference in the logic.
As Jiang Zhizhi got into the conversation, she suddenly sat up and said, "We also suffered because they laid a lot of minefields over there. People who accidentally entered the minefields suffered heavy casualties, so we must find a way to prevent this from happening again."
It's still a bit sad to think about, these minefields have claimed so many lives.
Zhou Xiye nodded: "After I go back, I will study these things and try to avoid and reduce casualties."
After finishing her business, Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Anyone who didn't know better would think we were some kind of military couple, discussing this in the middle of the night. By the way, I saw Xiao Zhouji like this today, and it suddenly gave me an idea."
Zhou Xiye looked at her with a puzzled expression, waiting for her to continue.
Jiang Zhizhi's expression immediately turned serious: "Xiao Zhou is sick today, but when Mom said she was going to give him adult pills, I was a little reluctant because these pills have too much medicine and can damage a child's nerves."
"Currently, there are very few medications available for children, so I want to conduct in-depth research in this area. In the past, some children in the hospital died from dysentery because there was no appropriate medication."
Zhou Xiye nodded. Nowadays, when children are sick, we basically break an adult's pill in half, crush it into powder with a rolling pin, mix it with some water, and feed it to the child.
Many medications are not differentiated for adults or children.
Jiang Zhizhi became more and more excited as she spoke: "I suddenly realized that the old saying is true, there is no end to learning. I'll go ask Teacher Jin later what conditions I need if I want to study again?"
I was so sleepy talking that I couldn't even stay awake anymore. I was analyzing with Zhou Xiye which medicines were suitable for children.
Zhou Xiye listened attentively, and he also felt that Jiang Zhizhi's idea was very good.
...
On the other side, Sun Xiaoyue returned home with a pale face, and Jiang Donghua had just returned from the emergency room.
Seeing that there wasn't a single grain of rice in the house, he looked around and frowned, asking Sun Xiaoyue, "Didn't you cook today?"
Sun Xiaoyue looked at him with disdain: "Cooking? I'm not the maid you married, why should I cook for you? Jiang Donghua, if it really doesn't work out, let's get a divorce. Do you think this kind of marriage is meaningful?"
Jiang Donghua frowned even more, staring at Sun Xiaoyue: "What are you doing? Divorce? You know I need to get my professional title evaluated right now, and if I get divorced, it will definitely have an impact."
"Besides, do you really like that kind of thing? Don't forget, besides that, it's because of me that you were able to get your job transferred to Beijing."
Sun Xiaoyue sneered: "So, I should thank you? Only because I came to Beijing can you get a house, and only when you get married will the hospital consider giving you a professional title."
“You keep saying that I came to Beijing because of you, as if you've done me some great favor. Jiang Donghua, you're shameless enough to make selfishness sound so noble.”
Jiang Donghua's face contorted with rage: "Shut up! Don't think you're close to the head of the logistics department at the main hospital. What's your relationship with him?"
"Sun Xiaoyue, I won't say I don't know anything!"
Sun Xiaoyue wasn't worried at all that Jiang Donghua would find out about her affair. She sneered, "Why would I go looking for someone else? Isn't it because you're impotent? Do you dare let your colleagues know you're impotent? If you don't, then you can just stay a good old turtle."
Jiang Donghua was thoroughly enraged; this matter was a deep wound in his heart.
Now that Sun Xiaoyue was using this to provoke him repeatedly, he lost his temper and rushed over to grab Sun Xiaoyue's neck, yelling, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense! Shut up!"
He yelled and clenched his fists tightly.
Sun Xiaoyue was being choked and was struggling to breathe. She tried to say, "Jiang Donghua! Let go! Let me tell you the truth, the reason you were successful in your past life was because you married Jiang Zhizhi! It was because of Jiang Zhizhi that you became a leader."
She spoke haltingly, but Jiang Donghua heard it all. He loosened his grip and grabbed Sun Xiaoyue's shoulders, shaking her violently: "What did you say? What you just said is all true?"
Sun Xiaoyue sat on the ground, clutching her neck, and coughed violently for a while. With red eyes, she looked at Jiang Donghua and said sarcastically, "That's right. I thought you were some kind of outstanding person, so I used every means to get close to you in this life."
"If I had known you were such a good-for-nothing, I should have married Zhou Xiye, moved into the mansion, and lived a glamorous life!"
With a snap.
Jiang Donghua slapped Sun Xiaoyue across the face: "Tell me properly, what exactly happened in your previous life?"
