When Qiu Xiulan heard this, she suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She looked at Qin Changshuo, hoping to see dissatisfaction on his face, but she only saw a happy smile from the heart.
Suddenly, Qiu Xiulan felt very sad.
Obviously, Qin Changshuo is the eldest son of the third wife and should be given more resources, but does the old man mean that he will spare no effort to support Qin Xiao?
She looked at Ji Xia's belly. Could it be that the old man was partial to Qin Xiao because Qin Xiao was about to have a child?
So, it was me who implicated Qin Changshuo?
Qiu Xiulan felt mixed emotions, thinking about this and that. When she came to her senses, she was the only one sitting in the living room in a daze.
The voices of Shen Congying and Ji Xia talking came from upstairs, with Qin Wanxue also mixed in. Those people seemed to exclude her.
Qin Changshuo went out and came back in. Seeing the unhappy expression on Qiu Xiulan's face, he frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to work?"
Qiu Xiulan hurriedly followed him out. Qin Changshuo was on his way to work and could take her with him. The two of them rode their bicycles for a while. Qiu Xiulan couldn't hold back her temper and asked, "Changshuo, what do you mean by grandpa's words?"
Qin Changshuo is a serious person. He is now involved in the establishment of a strategic missile force, and the nature of his work is very confidential.
Hearing Qiu Xiulan's words, Qin Changshuo became alert, "What did grandpa say?"
Qiu Xiulan thought of how Qin Xiao treated Ji Xia, and how he held her in his arms in front of the elders. She couldn't help but be moved. She raised her hand and held Qin Changshuo's clothes around his waist.
Unexpectedly, Qin Changshuo said in a cold voice, "Comrade Qiu Xiulan, please put your hands down. This is outside."
Qiu Xiulan immediately felt aggrieved, but she was very good at hiding her emotions, so she smiled and said, "You and your brother really have completely different personalities. I think Xiao treats your sister-in-law very well. They both have a child, and they act like newlyweds."
She and Qin Changshuo have been treating each other with respect for three years.
Qin Changshuo didn't say anything. He waited until he reached the gate of the Army Hospital, parked his bicycle, and after Qiu Xiulan got off, he pedaled away.
At the Qin family, Chen Congying renovated the room where Qin Xiao used to live, replaced it with a large bed, and replaced the previous cabinet with a large cabinet with three doors. The mattress and quilt on the bed were all brand new, and Ji Xia looked very satisfied.
"Thank you, Mom!" Ji Xia said sincerely. She had always heard that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was difficult to get along with, but she seemed to have never encountered such confusion with her mother-in-law.
"What are you thanking me for? Why are we talking about this as a family?" Chen Congying said with a smile, "When your grandfather heard that you were coming to receive the award, he was so happy. So was your father. That night, the two of us even drank two taels of wine together. It was the first time in all these years."
Ji Xia was also very happy to hear this, but she still said modestly, "This is not just my credit. The entire Bing County has made a contribution."
Qin Wanxue had witnessed the fighting spirit of the people of Bing County firsthand, but she also knew that it was all driven by Ji Xia. She smiled and scratched her nose, "Why are you so modest? It's okay for our family to show off occasionally, no one will laugh at you."
Ji Xia laughed and tickled her, "I'm not as shameless as you!"
Shen Congying was happy and emotional when she saw how close the sister-in-law was. But when she thought of her other daughter-in-law, she shook her head secretly and was too lazy to think about it.
"Wanxue, take it easy. Xia Xia is pregnant now, so don't make too much noise." Chen Congying looked at Ji Xia's belly, "Xia Xia, you're only six months old, how come your belly is so big?"
Ji Xia was also unsure what to say. She suspected she was having twins, but without a confirmed diagnosis, she didn't dare to speak up. "Mom, Xiao got an ultrasound machine and wants to donate it to your hospital. Can you help me check the baby in my belly when the time comes?"
Ultrasound examination has long been studied abroad and applied in the medical field, but it is still a blank in China.
Qin Xiao brought up their belongings. After hearing what Ji Xia said, he had an idea in his mind. "I'll pick up the goods tomorrow. Mom can tell the hospital. But, is there anyone in the hospital who can use them?"
Chen Congying was a person who was very willing to learn. She had never seen a B-ultrasound, but she had heard of it. "Who knows how to use something when they have it? Isn't there Xia Xia?"
Ji Xia touched her nose and thought, okay, she would learn it even if she didn’t know how now.
Seeing that the house was almost tidied, Chen Congying thought that the young couple must be tired after running around all the way, so she planned to go downstairs and let them rest first.
"Xia Xia, what are you going to eat for dinner?" Shen Congying asked so that she could ask her aunt to prepare it in advance.
The maid in the house was surnamed Liu, and Qin Xiao and his family called her Aunt Liu. She was a distant relative of the Qin family. Her husband had died, and she had no son, so she was kicked out by her husband's family. It was Qin Xiao's grandmother who took her in, and she lived in the Qin family for twenty years.
Aunt Liu is not tall, but she is a good cook and has a good personality. She smiles at everyone she sees. She is a very likable person and also very honest.
Qin Wanxue said hurriedly, "I'll ask Aunt Liu to prepare a good table for you, and then go to Quanjude to buy you a roast duck."
Ji Xia smiled and said, "Okay!"
Chen Congying also told Qin Wanxue, "Don't forget to tell Xiulan to come over for dinner tonight."
Qin Wanxue was a little impatient, "Didn't you tell me when they left just now?"
"I told you!" Chen Congying was also helpless. "If you don't specifically tell her, she will say she didn't tell you later."
In fact, Qiu Xiulan really didn't hear it.
Qin Wanxue said unhappily, "This is really interesting. My brother and sister-in-law came over today. Even if you didn't tell her, wouldn't she have thought of coming over for dinner? And she ran to tell her so eagerly. I think it's all because of you guys who spoiled her."
Chen Congying didn't want the second brother and his wife to come back and make a fuss, so she pushed Qin Wanxue out and said, "Okay, okay, just go and tell them on the way, it's not a big deal."
Qin Wanxue went out reluctantly.
Ji Xia and Qiu Xiulan didn't say a word after they met, they just exchanged glances once. Knowing that this person was unfriendly to him, Ji Xia ignored her.
It is normal for sisters-in-law to be at odds with each other. In the whole family, it seems that Qiu Xiulan is somewhat out of place.
However, Ji Xia had no habit of prying into other people's affairs, and she did not intend to waste her time and energy on this.
Before coming to Beijing, Beijing Auto had already extended an olive branch to Ji Xia. They hoped to get Ji Xia's technical support. Ji Xia came here with this intention. She also had another plan, which was to make a difference in the military industry.
The room has its own bathroom, which is very convenient, and there is hot water. When Ji Xia went in to take a shower and came out, Qin Xiao had already packed all the luggage he brought back.
He felt a little hot in the eyes when he saw Ji Xia, but at this moment, his wife was already suffering enough from carrying the baby, so he could only bear it. He had a thought in his mind that after giving birth to this child, he would never want to have any more children.
Since Ji Xia became pregnant, he has not had a relaxing day in his heart. He is worried all the time. Although he knows that every woman will get pregnant, he just feels that his wife should not suffer like this.
He seemed to have forgotten who was the one who was so eager for his wife to give birth to a baby for him.
