Chapter 77 Irresistible
Although she still maintained a look of disdain, it could be seen from the subtle changes in her expression that she was no longer so angry.
Although she was still harsh in her words, her attitude had softened a lot.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhiyu felt that the time was right and decided to continue trying to repair the relationship between the two.
Xiao Zhiyu took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Actually, I have some good news."
He tried to change the subject by saying something that would make her happy, using it as an opportunity to ease the relationship between them.
"What news?"
Ruan Chuxia asked curiously, with a barely perceptible look of wariness still on her face.
"We're going to have running water in our hometown."
Xiao Zhiyu announced excitedly, hoping that this good news would add some warmth to the relationship between them.
When Ruan Chuxia heard this, her face was full of surprise, "Really? Then I can take a bath at home happily from now on."
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she saw a better picture of future life.
Xiao Zhiyu nodded. "Didn't you ask me about this a few days ago? I wrote a letter to the higher-ups at the time, but I didn't expect they would actually give us water."
His words were filled with pride and accomplishment, as if this was one of the best things he had done for her.
Ruan Chuxia knew in her heart that this matter was not as simple as he said.
At least when she left in her previous life, there was no running water here.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel grateful.
She bit her lip and couldn't help feeling touched.
At this moment, she finally understood that the man in front of her was not just a talker. At critical moments, he would always use actions to prove his love for her.
"Are you still mad at me?"
Xiao Zhiyu kissed her cheek and asked, his eyes as gentle as water, making people irresistible.
Ruan Chuxia didn't say anything, but just lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Xiao Zhiyu smiled lightly, "I'll get you some ice to cool you down, then we'll go eat together."
He suggested that he hoped to completely resolve the misunderstanding between them through a delicious dinner.
Ruan Chuxia nodded in agreement, indicating that she accepted his invitation.
Her mood seemed to improve at this moment, as if the previous haze had dissipated.
......
While walking on the road, Xiao Zhiyu and Ruan Chuxia held hands tightly, enjoying the beautiful time belonging to the two of them.
After the cold compress treatment, there was no obvious sign of redness or swelling on her lips, and she looked much more energetic.
"Xiao Xia, when Captain Yuan Lu recovers, let's have a lively wedding in the family compound. Last time, not many people came, and it was very hastily done, so no one attended."
Xiao Zhiyu looked at Ruan Chuxia gently, his eyes full of expectation.
"OK."
Ruan Chuxia smiled and nodded, her heart full of longing for a better life in the future.
The two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and warmth flowed between them, as if the whole world became extraordinarily beautiful.
Ruan Chuxia took the opportunity to say, "I want to discuss something with you."
After seeing the encouragement in Xiao Zhiyu's eyes, she mustered up the courage to continue.
She swallowed, a little nervously, "After I finish my work of exterminating rats, I want to go to night school."
Her words revealed a hint of uneasiness, because she knew this meant she would have to spend more time on this, and she was unsure whether Xiao Zhiyu would support it.
Xiao Zhiyu was slightly startled. He didn't expect his wife to have such a plan. He immediately asked, "Why did you come up with this plan?"
His tone was filled with concern and confusion.
Ruan Chuxia smiled. In fact, this idea was not a sudden impulse, but the result of her careful consideration. "Look, everyone else in the office is a college student, and I am the only one who has only an elementary school education..."
Her eyes revealed a hint of inferiority and unwillingness, and she hoped to get her husband's understanding and support.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhiyu immediately understood, "Are you worried that others will look down on you?"
He tried to understand his wife's inner thoughts.
Ruan Chuxia agreed, but in fact she was not afraid of other people's opinions, but wanted to leave the infirmary and do something, and academic qualifications were obviously the best pass.
Her heart longs for more possibilities, not only for herself, but also to be able to better face the future.
She then added: "I'll see if I can bring Xiaojun along when the time comes..."
She hopes that her decision will not only bring a better future to her family, but also will not affect her children's growth.
Xiao Zhiyu immediately responded, "Just go back to school and don't worry about Xiaojun. He'll be almost old enough to go to daycare after the New Year. He'll stay there during the day, and I'll take care of him at night."
His words were full of support and understanding for his wife, and also showed his sense of responsibility as a father.
Xiaojun also took his mother's hand and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."
The little boy's determined gaze is very comforting.
Stroking her son's head, Ruan Chuxia suddenly felt much more at ease and decided to register the next day.
At this moment, she felt unprecedented strength, as if the whole world was cheering for her decision.
However, things are unpredictable.
The next morning, the infirmary suddenly announced that all members would need to work overtime for a period of time because they were going to carry out a rat extermination campaign.
"...This upcoming rat eradication operation is of vital importance to us, especially to our medical staff. It carries a heavy responsibility. It's not only a test of our professional skills, but also a review of our collective collaboration. At tomorrow's discussion meeting, President Hu will assign specific responsibilities to each person. Please be aware of this. Comrade Xiao Ruan, in particular, as a newcomer to this work, should pay attention to observing, learning, and asking questions. This will not only improve your professional skills, but also help you better integrate into the team."
Zhou Lin gave a passionate speech at the meeting, and every word he said was full of power and responsibility.
Ruan Chuxia and others were taking notes quickly below.
As she recorded, she sighed in her heart.
If she hadn't experienced this firsthand, she wouldn't have known how important this movement was.
Almost everyone in the country is participating in it, from cities to villages, every corner is left out.
Walking on the street, you can see slogans everywhere, such as "Eliminate mosquitoes and flies, clean our homes" and "Everyone participates, eliminate rat infestations".
The importance of eliminating rats is emphasized on the radio every day, reminding everyone to pay attention to personal hygiene and jointly maintain a public health environment.
Even Xiao Zhiyu has become particularly busy recently. He is usually a leisurely person, but now he specifically asked her about the specific measures taken by the infirmary to eliminate rats.
Obviously, this movement has touched everyone's life.
