Liang Zihua also understood what Sun Yulan meant. This was directed at Ji Xia. He looked deeply at Qiu Suquan, who was standing aside with his head drooping like a quail. "Suquan, you are capable in military affairs, but your wife's ideological quality still needs to be improved!"
After saying that, he continued to knock on Ji Xia's door. At this time, Qin Xiao was angry because someone had reported his wife. He stopped knocking and turned around to open the door for Liang Zihua.
Sun Yulan didn't understand what was going on and continued to shout, "Hey, Commander Liang, you can't protect Captain Qin just because his family has connections!"
Liang Zihua shook his head helplessly. Not to mention that the car itself belonged to Ji Xia, just looking at the equipment and technology that Ji Xia had developed, even if Ji Xia asked him, a dignified division commander, to send her back to her parents' home, he would still serve her at her beck and call.
"Commander, you've arrived just in time!" Ji Xia pointed at the food that had just been served on the table. "It's time for dinner, how about we eat together?"
The implication is that as a teacher, it is really shameless for him to come at the right time when people are having lunch.
Qin Xiao understood the hidden meaning of his words and felt the same hatred as his wife. He also wanted to roll his eyes at Liang Zihua.
But who is Liang Zihua?
If someone isn't so shameless, how could he become a leader? He didn't care at all, just took Ji Xia's invitation and sat down at the table. "I'll ask your sister-in-law to bring my rations over later. Your food is pretty good. I haven't eaten meat in a long time. I'm taking advantage of Ji Xia to have some meat today."
When Ji Xia heard that she had to bring rations, she felt embarrassed. Although this was the practice in this era and people had to carry dry food or rations wherever they went, Ji Xia was still not used to it. Although she did not welcome the leader to come to her home, she did not mean to provide him with rations after having him eat a meal.
There were two large pots of food on the table. Qin Xiao had a big appetite, and Ji Xia also made large portions, but it looked like it was not enough for three people.
Ji Xia went to the kitchen, and after a while, she brought out another pot of stewed pig's trotters. The pig's trotters had been braised, and were put back into the pot and stewed with the auxiliary ingredients. The soup was bright red and the meat was rich in aroma, which was very delicious with rice.
The steamed pork with rice flour is made entirely of pork belly, which is fat and lean and melts in your mouth. A few taro are placed at the bottom. After absorbing the gravy, they are coated with a layer of oil, which greatly increases your appetite.
The cabbage stewed with vermicelli is not completely vegetarian. It is stewed with oil residue, with a layer of oil residue floating on the surface, which is golden yellow and soft. Even for Commander Liang, who usually has a hard time getting full with less oil, his appetite increased when he saw the big meat. He picked up the bowl and started eating.
He first scooped a spoonful of oil residue and soup into the bowl, picked up two slices of steamed pork with rice flour to satisfy his craving, took a few mouthfuls of rice soaked in oil and soup, and then started to gnaw on the pig's trotter.
Qin Xiao eats much more politely. Since he married Ji Xia, except for eating in the cafeteria, whenever he and Ji Xia cook, all the dishes are meat, and he eats very few vegetables.
The couple had no idea what Commander Liang was thinking. He was crying for Qin Xiao. This guy married such a gluttonous wife. He didn't know if his salary and subsidies were enough to support her.
If you can’t afford it anymore, you won’t ask for a divorce, right?
It seems that we need to find a way to increase the couple's income. Thinking of this, Teacher Liang said, "Xiao Xia, why don't you take a position at the 719 Research Institute? With your level and ability, you can still make 80 or 90 yuan a month. With this income, it will also provide a living guarantee!"
In fact, it is a guarantee for eating meat.
How could one afford to eat this way without earning a few more salaries? He would eat up a month's worth of food for an average family in just one day.
This was already the nth time he had tried to trick her into joining the 719 Research Institute. Ji Xia glanced at Qin Xiao and saw that he was also looking at her expectantly. "Wife, the researchers at the 719 Research Institute have seen that light frigate, but they don't know what materials it's made of, and the design concept is different from existing ones."
There was a gap in time, or in other words, a technological gap in between, which Ji Xia had anticipated long ago.
"Okay, too many lice don't itch, and too much debt doesn't worry. Anyway, I am now the chief engineer of Factory 21 and Fugang. I don't need the identity of a researcher at the 719 Institute. But, let me make it clear, I don't want to work in the office." Ji Xia glared at Qin Xiao angrily.
She was giving him face.
Qin Xiao was very happy. Although the 719 Institute was nominally an institute, it was actually affiliated with the military and was a very important scientific research institution of the military. Once Ji Xia joined the 719 Institute, she would belong to the military.
Liang Zihua: "Of course you don't have to work, Xiaoxia. You have a lot of responsibilities. Let Qin Xiao share more of the burden with you in the future. Your safety and health must be the top priority."
"Thank you, Commander Liang!" Ji Xia said politely but distantly.
This made Liang Zihua, who wanted to get close to Ji Xia, very upset. This little girl was not an ordinary person. However, the purpose of his visit today was achieved.
Liang Zihua and Qin Xiao started chatting. "Every time we purchase equipment from abroad, it's always discarded and practically treated as garbage. Foreign exchange is also hard to come by. You know our country's foreign exchange reserves are less than $100 million. We can't buy anything with them."
Ji Xia didn't expect that the country was so poor. There was a set of steelmaking equipment in her space, which could reach 5 meters per minute, while a furnace of steel at that time took 10 minutes. The difference was basically a world of difference.
"The biggest demands in the US right now are steel, oil, and cars," Ji Xia said. "Once our steelmaking equipment is put into operation, steel production will increase significantly. In the future, we can replicate several more of these equipment to increase steelmaking output even more."
