Chapter 488 Challenging High Difficulty
Seeing Shen Luojia's serious expression, Jiang Zhizhi regained her confidence: "Sister-in-law, let me take your pulse again."
Shen Luojia was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jiang Zhizhi's sister-in-law was calling her. She quickly put down her chopsticks and handed her her right hand.
Jiang Zhizhi took Shen Luojia's pulse, and it was still that strange pulse. Seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks and were looking at her nervously, she smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, sister-in-law is in very good health."
Fang Hua had an idea: "Isn't Luo Jia a good singer? Talk to the logistics department and ask her to work at the radio station."
Shang Shiying's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. We play some music and have people sing before lunch and dinner every day. We can let Luojia try this time."
The amount of money doesn't matter; what's important is that Luojia should be exposed to more of the adult world.
Jiang Zhizhi also felt that this job was suitable for Shen Luojia: "I want to try another type of acupuncture, which is more painful, to see if it can make my sister-in-law better."
She recently discovered in Teacher Jin's notes that it is treatable, but difficult to cure.
Shang Shiying looked at Li Simin, but the decision still needed to be made by Li Simin and Shen Luojia.
Li Simin looked at Shen Luojia gently: "Let me discuss it with Luojia."
After dinner, Li Simin called Jiang Zhizhi to the study, saying that he was going to discuss it with Shen Luojia: "Is there anything different about this kind of acupuncture you mentioned?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "It's very different. Before, it was traditional acupuncture, where needles were inserted into acupoints to stimulate blood circulation. So when the needles were inserted, there was only a slight stinging sensation, not much pain."
"The acupuncture I just mentioned might be very painful. I don't know if Luojia can bear it."
Li Simin paused for a moment, then said, "Let's leave it at that. Luo Jia is doing well now."
Jiang Zhizhi sighed: "Brother Simin, your wife wants to go out to work, which means she's maturing little by little. We can give it a try; it might be better."
Li Simin shook his head: "You said it yourself, it's just a possibility. If we suffer and the result is still the same, then we shouldn't suffer this hardship."
Jiang Zhizhi genuinely hopes that Shen Luojia can recover.
Both physically and mentally, they can recover to normal.
After all, a lifetime is too long, and no one can predict what changes might occur along the way.
...
After returning to China, Shang Shiyi first handled official business before coming to see Bian Suxi and Jiang Zhizhi, and the two children he hadn't met yet.
Shang Xingzhou also rushed back.
Looking at his two adorable children, Shang Shiyi couldn't bear to put them down once he picked them up, especially Shang Shang, as it reminded him of holding his daughter when she was little.
This way, I can make up for the regret of not seeing my daughter when she was little.
Bian Suxi laughed from the side, "You should hug them quickly. These two children are the darlings of the yard. Every day, people come and fight to hug them."
Shang Shiyi's usually stern expression was now amiable. He patted Shang Shang's little braids and then her little face: "Finally, I got to hold her. Every time I look at the photos, they don't seem real enough."
Shang Xingzhou leaned back on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds as he watched his family reunite happily. Suddenly, he blurted out, "I don't want to go to work anymore."
Bian Suxi didn't even look up: "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Shang Shiyi didn't react much. He held Shang Shang and looked at Xiao Zhouji, acting as if he hadn't heard his son's words.
Only Shang Shiying seemed a little surprised: "Your company is pretty good, why don't you want to go to work anymore?"
Shang Xingzhou shook his head: "It's not that good. I have to travel for work every day and I'm exhausted."
Shang Shiying said in surprise, "That's good. Others can't even go out if they want to, but you travel all over the world by train and plane all the time. I've never even been on a plane before."
Shang Xingzhou laughed: "Auntie, I'll treat you to a plane ride later and take you to see the sea."
Shang Shiying wasn't interested: "You've probably forgotten, our hometown is by the sea. Your dad and I grew up by the sea. What's there to see?"
Shang Shiyi then paid some attention: "If you don't want to go to work, what do you want to do?"
Shang Xingzhou quickly sat up straight and looked at Shang Xingzhou very seriously: "Dad, I want to go to the south to do business."
Shang Shiyi frowned but didn't say anything.
Shang Shiying, however, was somewhat worried: "Isn't that speculation? What are you selling? You won't end up like those shady characters in the alley, selling things like refrigerators, TVs, and plane tickets?"
Shang Xingzhou quickly waved his hand: "Aunt, the business I'm talking about is different from what you think. Times have changed. The south is going to develop into an economic city, and that area will become an important import and export port in the future."
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised; she hadn't expected that Shang Xingzhou, who seemed so carefree, would have such a forward-thinking business sense.
Shang Shiyi didn't object: "Go if you want to. It's good for boys to explore the world. But remember, you can't do anything illegal or disorderly."
Shang Xingzhou jumped up, stood at attention, and saluted: "Don't worry, I will absolutely not bring shame to our family!"
Bian Suxi also expressed her support: "It's okay if you don't make money. Just consider it as gaining experience. It's alright to make mistakes when you're young."
Jiang Zhizhi was once again surprised by the open-mindedness of her parents. But thinking about it, it made sense. With Shang Shiyi's connections, how could Shang Xingzhou's business not be doing well?
Shang Shiying exclaimed in surprise, "You guys are really something! I can't do that. The second and third sons are in the army now, and the fourth and fifth sons will also be joining the army in the future. Your brother-in-law said that joining the army is their only way out."
Shang Shiyi smiled and said, "Sister, times have changed. Children can make their own choices. As for us, in a few years, we will be out of touch with the times."
He has been to many countries, including Hong Kong, whose economic level is far ahead of that of China.
Therefore, he is in favor of diversity in talent; as long as one is good enough, it doesn't matter what industry one works in.
After dinner, Shang Shiyi and Bian Suxi returned to their residence in Beijing.
Shang Xingzhou stayed by Li Simin's side, insisting that he talk about the evolution and development of domestic weapons.
Although I can no longer serve in the military, I still love this profession.
He concluded by saying, "Brother, wait until I make money, then I'll go abroad and buy the most advanced equipment."
Li Simin smiled gently. He didn't think Shangxingzhou was bragging. On the contrary, he felt that Shangxingzhou was very energetic and confident about the future.
Shang Shiying brought over tea, unable to understand the two brothers' conversation, and interrupted with a smile: "Xingzhou, you're twenty-three now. Don't just think about doing business, you should also think about finding a partner and settling down."
Shang Xingzhou was taken aback: "I'm only twenty-three. Li Yuanchao is half a year older than me."
Shang Shiying was both amused and exasperated: "It's not that we can't see him, but besides, Yuan Chao is currently on the border. It's hard to say whether we can even find a woman around the area where he's stationed. Where are we supposed to find a partner?"
Shang Xingzhou exclaimed, "There are no girls at the garrison, but there are girls in the medical team and the cultural troupe. Aunt, you should write to him and urge him to hurry up."
Shang Shiying laughed and scolded, "You're such a clever little devil, trying to divert attention."
She looked around and said, "Zhizhi took the two children back. Where's Luojia? Did she go upstairs?"
