"husband!"
Ji Xia was shaken awake and opened her eyes in confusion.
Qin Xiao felt relieved. He was almost soaked and breathed a sigh of relief. "Wife, are you feeling unwell?"
Ji Xia saw the worry in Qin Xiao's eyes and smiled, "No, I'm just a little tired. Just let me sleep for a while."
She really couldn't wake up.
"Shall I take you to the hospital for a check-up?" Qin Xiao hugged her tightly, with obvious panic in his eyes. He was very scared, more scared than ever before. Even when he had been on missions before and had narrowly escaped death, he had never been so scared.
"No, I'm fine, just a little tired." Ji Xia was not sure now, so she didn't want to say it out loud, for fear that Qin Xiao would laugh at her.
Qin Xiao went to fetch some water, washed Ji Xia's hands, feet and face, tucked her into bed, washed himself, and hugged Ji Xia. The person in his arms slept soundly and deeply, but he didn't dare close his eyes, for fear that when he woke up, his wife would be gone.
The next day, Ji Xia woke up hungry. When she woke up, the sky was bright. She looked out the window and saw that it was a sunny day. She couldn't help but feel very happy that the sky was finally clear.
Qin Xiao was still there. She was also held in his arms. Seeing his dark and clear eyes, as if he had not slept all night, she was a little surprised, "You didn't sleep last night?"
"She fell asleep and just woke up not long ago." Qin Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was still the same wife.
Ji Xia had no idea about the lawsuit in his mind and yawned loudly, "What time is it? I'm hungry!"
Qin Xiao took a look at his watch and said, "It's past ten o'clock."
He had never been lazy in bed. He didn't sleep a wink all night, only taking a short nap after dawn. A nightmare woke him up, and he never dared to sleep again.
Lying in bed until now was something he had never done before.
"I'll get you something to eat." Qin Xiao heard outside that Xie Sufen said she had left breakfast in the pot for the two of them when she left, but it was already cold by now.
"Wait a minute, the snow should be melting today. I've prepared some warm clothes for you." Ji Xia got up from the kang and was about to continue like this when Qin Xiao hurriedly wrapped her in her pajamas. "How can you be naked? Be careful not to catch a cold."
Ji Xia pretended to smuggle out two sets of thermal underwear from the wardrobe, a Canada Goose down jacket that looked like an old man's sweater, a few pairs of thermal socks, and a pair of cashmere combat boots with linings.
Ji Xia took out the items one by one and handed them to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao looked at these things with mixed feelings. He hugged Ji Xia into his arms and said, "Xia Xia, we had to take out some things out of necessity, but please don't take these out. I'm scared!"
He kissed Ji Xia on the cheek and said, "I'm afraid people will suspect you."
Ji Xia deliberately said, "Isn't it me that the people outside are suspecting right now? I've done what I did, and I haven't thought about being afraid. I have a clear conscience about what I've done. If one day, they really have to judge my 'crimes', I will have a clear conscience. Although many things are hard to explain, I believe that history will eventually give me justice!"
But in fact, what she was thinking was that if someone really wanted to mess with her, she would definitely kill that person first.
However, this idea should not be known to someone like Qin Xiao who has a high level of ideological awareness and is very pure.
Now, all the suspicions from outside are on his head. Regardless of the facts, foreign countries have put a lot of pressure on China, believing that someone in China is smuggling advanced equipment from other countries into China, which has now caused international outrage.
Qin Xiao could not let Ji Xia bear this risk, whether from a public or private perspective, so now all the risks have been transferred to Qin Xiao.
But there is no need to tell Ji Xia all this.
His hands were pressed against Ji Xia's soft waist, he was obsessed with it and couldn't bear to take it away. "But I'm still afraid, Xia Xia, don't take anything out when I'm not around."
With him by her side, no matter what she came up with, she would not be suspected.
Seeing how worried he was, Ji Xia agreed, "Okay."
Qin Xiao heated up the breakfast and saw that she was eating with great relish. He heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that his wife was really tired. Since she had a good appetite, she should not have any other health problems.
He couldn't help but resent the entire county. It was all because of those incompetent people, otherwise his wife wouldn't have been so exhausted.
I can't even copy homework.
I also need the teacher's guidance to copy.
After dinner, Ji Xia stayed at home. Qin Xiao told her to have a good rest. "If I don't come back, don't go anywhere. If you want to go somewhere, wait until I come back. I might be a little busy recently and may not be able to come back every day."
"Okay!" After Ji Xia sent him out the door, he yawned and went back to lie down on the kang.
The fire wall was burning very warm. Before leaving, Qin Xiao added more fire. He went to the factory and told Ji Jianguo to go back at noon to cook for Ji Xia and add more firewood to the fire wall.
"Sorry to trouble Mom and Dad." Qin Xiao stuffed a stack of banknotes to Ji Jianguo, but Ji Jianguo refused to take them. "What's wrong with you, kid? Xia Xia lives at home, and it's only natural for your mom and I to support her. Why would we ask for your money?"
But in the end, Ji Jianguo had no choice but to accept it. It was more than 500 yuan in total, including a lot of food coupons, oil coupons and industrial coupons.
The county magistrate was tired after a night at the tractor factory. He came back to take a nap in his office. Before he could even have a sip of water, Qin Xiao came to him and said, "Captain Qin, what a rare guest!"
Regardless of Qin Xiao's official position or his personal identity, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect him and personally poured tea for Qin Xiao.
"You're welcome. I'm here on official business." Qin Xiao pushed a list he had copied in front of the county magistrate. "This is the next plan the county needs to consider. All the factories must be in place within two weeks at the latest."
