Chen Congying was very touched. She could only be happy that her daughter-in-law took such good care of her son. However, wasn't her son a little too shameless?
Qin Xiao didn't like eating fish since he was a child. The last time he was hospitalized, Ji Xia brought him fish soup. They were not familiar with each other, but in order to leave a good impression on Ji Xia, he drank it with gritted teeth.
Today, after eating half a bowl, he frowned and said, "Wife, I can't eat anymore."
"Even if you can't eat, you have to eat a little. I've picked out all the thorns for you, so just eat it. Also, you have to drink this soup, it's good for your wound and won't make you gain weight." Ji Xia coaxed him in a gentle voice.
Qin Wanxue couldn't bear to see that his brother was obviously enjoying it but pretending to be in pain just to make Ji Xia feel sorry for him.
"Mom, my brother is so shameless!" Qin Wanxue felt really ashamed of having such a brother.
Not only is he extremely stupid, he is also extremely childish!
But Ji Xia still fell for his tricks.
She remembered that Ji Xia was extremely smart. In the past, countless men had fallen for her, but she didn't like any of them. She either thought this one's nose was too big, or that one's pores were too big, or she would say that one of them was not good in that aspect, or that she had a bad figure, was short and ugly, and when she met those rich second-generations, she would look down on them for being dependent on their parents.
In short, even a god could find fault with her coldness.
As a result, she was completely bewitched by her brother and her reputation was ruined.
Chen Congying slapped her daughter on the butt. "What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother is already injured like this, and you're still making up stories about him."
Qin Wanxue thought to herself, isn’t her brother alive? Look how energetic he is now.
Qin Xiao drank the fish soup and a bowl of millet porridge, and his stomach was full. Although the wound still hurt, that little pain was not worth mentioning for someone like him.
"Mom is here, Wanxue is here?" Ji Xia put the lunch box away and stood up.
Chen Congying came over with a smile and put the cloth bag in her hand on the table. "You're late. Xiao has already eaten. You still need Xia Xia to go out and buy food. It's so inconvenient for you when you're pregnant."
As he spoke, he took out millet porridge and some plump white steamed buns.
"I woke up a little early this morning, too. Ah Xiao's comrades came over, and since there were people around, I went downstairs to buy some food." Ji Xia took the steamed buns and asked Qin Xiao if he wanted to eat them. Qin Xiao shook his head and said weakly, "No."
He looked so weak that Ji Xia felt really distressed.
If she ignored the expression on his face, Shen Congying would feel distressed, but at this moment, she was a little too lazy to look at her son. "Xia Xia, you haven't had a good rest these past two days. You feel sorry for your man, and I feel sorry for the grandson in your belly. I'll let Wanxue take you back to rest later. Mom will stay here to help you watch over her, okay?"
Ji Xia was amused. She took a bite of the steamed bun and said with a smile, "Okay, Mom, stay here for a while. I'll bring you lunch at noon."
Qin Xiao was reluctant to bother his wife. "Just ask Mom to go buy some food at noon. You don't have to bring it. Ask Wanxue to bring it over in the evening. You don't have to come over either. Just have a good sleep at home."
Ji Xia stayed here for two days and two nights. Actually, she was not too tired. There was a bed here. When she wanted to wash up, she would go to the bathroom and then lock herself in the partition. It was very convenient to hide in the space to wash up.
Qin Xiao felt sorry for her, and his mother-in-law was also worried, so Ji Xia agreed first.
After filling the thermos with boiled spiritual spring water, Ji Xia was about to leave when Ji Jianguo and Xie Sufen came again. Xie Sufen brought a can of chicken soup and some white flour buns.
"Mother-in-law, this chicken soup is right here. I made it with red dates. At noon, you can go to the hospital cafeteria and borrow a stove to heat it up. And these steamed buns, get some hot water and put them in a teacup. You can eat them after warming them over the hot water."
Conditions were very difficult back then, and there were no microwave ovens or anything like that.
I was also very strict about food. I couldn’t even fill my stomach, let alone chicken soup.
Shen Congying was very moved, "How much trouble have I caused you!"
"Mother-in-law, why do you say that? Qin Xiao's job is like this. Her father and I just hope that he is safe and sound."
Xie Sufen was also very scared this time, and even regretted letting her daughter marry a soldier. She thought that everything was liberated and there would be no more wars in the future, but she never knew that there would be such a cruel person.
Ji Xia came out with his parents. Qin Wanxue drove and sent Ji Jianguo and his wife to the family compound. When they were about to turn around, a man ran over from a distance. Ji Xia saw that it was Yang Baoguo from Fugang.
She rolled down the car window. "Director Yang, what's going on?"
When Yang Baoguo heard that someone was going to kill Ji Xia, he was so scared that he almost lost his soul. Now that he saw Ji Xia was fine, he finally felt relieved. "Boss Ji, our second production line has been put into production. It started production this morning. Do you want to go and take a look?"
He pursed his lips and said, "I have already driven away all the people who came to our factory to study. I promise nothing will happen!"
Qin Wanxue chuckled and said to Ji Xia, "Are you assured? If so, I'd like to go and see it for myself."
Ji Xia had this plan in mind, "Let's go and see it for ourselves!"
She asked Yang Baoguo to get in the car. When Yang Baoguo got in, he was shocked by the decorations and functions of the car. He looked here and touched there, and said, "Boss Ji, can we build a car like this in the future?"
"Of course! This is the kind of car we make domestically, and the ones we export are of inferior quality." Ji Xia said.
"Haha, okay, I support it!" Qin Wanxue gave a thumbs up.
Fugang is no longer what it used to be. Even the gate has been redecorated, with two big red lanterns hanging at the door. When the guard saw Ji Xia's car coming, he hurried over to open the door.
The ground is a cement road, which leads to all directions and is very wide. The factory buildings are built very high. The plum blossoms on both sides of the road, which were transplanted from somewhere, are blooming proudly against the frost and snow, and the fragrance is wafting in the air.
It was freezing outside, but the factory was bustling with activity.
As soon as Qin Wanxue entered the factory gate, she felt the enthusiasm for work, which was completely different from the atmosphere later where going to work every day was like going to a grave.
The red-hot molten iron came out of the furnace and was finally formed into steel of different shapes through the production line. Qin Wanxue watched and suddenly her eyes became moist.
Ma Liangcai didn't know Qin Wanxue's identity, so he kept introducing her. "These three production lines are the most advanced in China and abroad, with an annual output of 13.5 million tons. We plan to replicate this production line next year."
Fugang alone can meet the current domestic demand for steel and is sufficient to support industrial development.
Qin Wanxue was shocked and looked at Ji Xia, who nodded. "He's right. Next year we should replicate a similar production line. One of the lines here is specifically for making special steel!"
Yang Baoguo was a little worried when he heard this, and asked timidly, "Boss Ji, when will we start?"
Ji Xia said, "First, use the production line with an annual output of 150 tons to supply the goods. The other two lines will be temporarily used to deliver domestic orders to ensure supply to the industrial sector."
