Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanjun blushed deeply, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.
Rong Ruoshi has a beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament; one look at her reveals her to be an extremely gentle woman.
This delicate girl, who was fearless in the face of danger and dared to fight off armed bandits with her bare hands, actually fell for him. I couldn't help but feel excited.
Although he is now a civil servant with a secure job, he joined the army early, only graduated from junior high school, and his work was dangerous.
Thinking about his work, Ji Yuanjun's excitement subsided.
Hesitantly, he advised, "Xia, you know my job is dangerous, and I can never take care of my family. Your classmate is only grateful for the moment; I'm afraid she'll regret it later."
"Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about the present. I'm planning to introduce her to someone. If you don't seize the opportunity, you'll regret it later."
Ji Yuanjun couldn't help but give her a resentful look: "Are you even my own sister?"
"It's not because you're my brother, you wouldn't get such a good opportunity."
Ji Yuanjun blushed slightly: "If she doesn't mind me, of course I'd be willing."
“Okay, be more enthusiastic these few days. She injured her hand and it's inconvenient for her to eat.”
Ji Xia patted his shoulder: "Don't count on me. I felt terrible on the way back. Sometimes I felt like throwing up just from the smell of food."
Ji Yuanjun frowned: "You've worked so hard, what does Chen Jing do? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"Never mind that. I just want to ask you, my classmate is currently unavailable. Shouldn't you be more proactive?"
Ji Yuanjun blushed, but nodded.
Upon receiving Ji Xia's reply, Rong Ruoshi's mood immediately brightened.
Ji Xia deliberately went outside for a walk, leaving them some space. No one knows what the two of them said, but in less than half an hour, Rong Ruoshi and Ji Yuanjun, both looking shy, had officially confirmed their relationship.
Both of them are getting on in years, and their families have been urging them to get married for a long time, but they haven't found anyone they like.
Now, when people fall in love at first sight and are satisfied with each other's character, they decide to get married as soon as they talk it out.
Rong Ruoshi's actions were widely reported in the newspapers, and countless praises poured in for her.
School leaders from Jiangshi No. 1 Primary School and the parents of the rescued students visited Rong Ruoshi at the hospital with fruit baskets and banners to express their gratitude for everything she had done for the students.
The newspaper also named Rong Ruoshi the most beautiful girl of the year in 1984 and awarded her a certificate of heroism.
Upon receiving the news, Chen Jing rushed back as quickly as possible and appeared in the ward the following afternoon.
Ji Xia wasn't really in any serious condition; she just had some morning sickness and heatstroke. She spent a day in the hospital and received two IV drips before recovering.
However, Rong Ruoshi injured her ankle, and her hands didn't recover so quickly, so she stayed in the hospital for a few days.
Upon hearing that the two had confirmed their relationship, Chen Jing spoke to Ji Yuanjun about something and then handed Rong Ruoshi over to him. He then arranged for Ji Xia to be discharged from the hospital and took her back to his hometown.
Ji Xia planned to go back to her hometown to get her ID card. The country had been issuing trial regulations for ID cards since April 1984, and she had been longing to get one ever since.
After graduating last year, because she was unsure whether she wanted to settle in Shenzhen or Guangzhou, she impulsively registered her household registration back in her hometown county.
Chen Jing helped Ji Xia into the car and said with dissatisfaction, "Why can't you wait until I get back to talk about it? Why do you have to come back by yourself?"
Ji Xia hugged her pregnant belly and looked at Chen Jing's handsome profile with displeasure. Since she became pregnant, he had been surrounded by many beautiful women.
She suddenly pouted, and her eyes immediately reddened: "I knew it, you get annoyed just seeing me now, don't you? I was so frightened, and instead of comforting me, you just complained about me."
Chen Jing's breath hitched. He carefully fastened her seatbelt and apologized to her in a low voice, "It's my fault. I was so scared when I heard you were attacked that I almost had a heart attack!"
Ji Xia lowered her head, pouted, and remained silent, which made Chen Jing coax her again.
After a long while, she glared at him unhappily and said, "I heard from my senior that there are a lot more pretty girls in the factory who are after you lately."
"I transferred him to the production line a long time ago, and now I've even replaced his secretary with a man. Don't believe me? Go back and be my assistant? Keep an eye on me?"
Ji Xia snorted coldly, but inwardly she was somewhat satisfied.
The senior colleague in the design department had also mentioned to Chen Jing that her secretary had been replaced by a rigid and unattractive man.
She proudly showed off her pretty chin: "I don't want to go to work right now! I want to eat the free-range chicken from my hometown, and I also want to eat the fruit from home. The chickens I buy outside seem to have changed; they don't taste like the chickens I used to have."
Just a few years after the country opened up, restaurants and snack shops sprang up everywhere, and free-range chickens gradually became factory-farmed chickens.
Ji Xia had a smooth life for several years, which not only made her temper worse, but also made her tastes more discerning.
Of course, this pregnancy is different from her previous one; she's become much more delicate this time around.
Chen Jing had waited for many years and finally had the opportunity to become a father and tie her down, so of course he would spoil her.
He gently stroked her hair, his expression softening. "Alright, don't tell me you miss the free-range chickens at home. I miss them too. When we get home, I'll make you a kiln-roasted chicken, salt-baked chicken, and wild fish from the stream. I used to think the fish were too small and full of bones, but now I miss them."
"Perfect timing! I'll take this opportunity to go home and relax. After wandering around for a few years, I've realized that staying in my hometown is the most relaxing!"
After talking things out, the two finally reconciled and Chen Jing smiled as he slowly started driving.
Ji Xia rubbed her stomach and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, those little fish in the stream should be deep-fried until crispy, then they'll taste delicious."
