After that, Ji Xia didn't care about this matter anymore. May Day soon came. When other May Day medal winners went to the Great Hall, Ji Xia was taken by Mr. Qin to another road.
It turned out that her May Day Medal would be awarded by that person personally, and that person would actually meet with her.
What an honor this was! Ji Xia, who had always been calm, was so excited when she heard the news. She was going to meet that great man, the real God in her mind.
That day, Ji Xia didn't know how she got into the Nanhai residence, nor did she know how she got out. In short, when she got back into the car, her tears couldn't stop flowing.
If before this, she had simply accepted this era and integrated into it, then the honor bestowed upon her by the old man, as well as the words he said to her and the promises he made to her, all gave her a sense of mission in the era.
Living in this era, if you don’t want to be swept away by the tide of the times, then work hard to break through.
Old Master Qin was filled with emotion as he watched his granddaughter-in-law burst into tears. He also knew that Ji Xia did not need comfort. She was just too excited and needed to vent.
Old Master Qin still had to go to work, so after sending Ji Xia to the gate of the compound, Ji Xia went in by herself. Old Master Qin was worried, so he asked his guard to take her in.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, had just entered the compound. Before they could even turn the corner, they saw a girl with two thick braids running towards them with a red face. She ignored Ji Xia and said to the guard, "Xiao Ma, I heard that Xiao is back. Is that true?"
Xiao Ma glanced at Ji Xia embarrassedly. The nature of his job did not allow him to talk too much. Moreover, Qin Xiao had a special identity and no one was allowed to inquire about his whereabouts.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Han, I don't know either." After saying that, Xiao Ma walked around the woman and followed Ji Xia closely again.
Han Xuelan stared at Ji Xia's back. If her gaze had warmth, Ji Xia would have been burned through by now.
Until Ji Xia entered the house, she asked who the woman was. Xiao Ma felt that she was worthy of being awarded the May Day Medal because she was very patient.
Xiao Ma sent Ji Xia there, and Ji Xia let him go back.
She was the only one at home. These days, Qin Xiao went out early and came back late every day, and sometimes he didn't even come home. It was difficult to see other people in the family. Only Shen Congying could be seen by her basically three times a day.
After a while, Chen Congying came back from get off work. She bought three maternity clothes for Ji Xia at once. They were all cotton skirts, a bit like Korean style, with a relatively high waist that was tight on the belly, and the belly below was very protruding.
"Your belly... Oh, by the way, someone donated an ultrasound machine to our hospital. Mom has been learning about it these days. Do you want to go and see if you are pregnant with twins?" Chen Congying was very interested.
Ji Xia had this plan a long time ago, but she either didn't have the conditions or the time. "Okay, I'll go with you when it's convenient for you, Mom."
"Then let's set off early in the afternoon and walk over there." Shen Congying said.
The military hospital was not far from the compound, and Shen Congying walked to and from get off work every day, but Ji Xia was pregnant, so she had to walk slowly.
Aunt Liu had prepared the meal long ago, and the three of them sat at the table to eat together. Aunt Liu cooked Northeastern cuisine today, stir-fried cabbage with meat, sliced pork belly, and quite a lot of meat, and stewed chicken with mushrooms. They were wild hazel mushrooms brought back by Ji Xia, which were fragrant, soft and tender, and especially delicious.
Ji Xia accidentally ate half a bowl of rice and felt a little full. Her stomach was now pressing against her stomach and she couldn't eat too much. She got hungry very quickly. Aunt Liu took good care of her and wished she could cook eight meals for her a day.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door. Ji Xia finished eating first and stood up. "Mom, Aunt Liu, you guys eat first. I'll go check!"
When he opened the door, it was the girl who had stopped Xiao Ma to talk before. Seeing Ji Xia, she was stunned for a moment, "Are you Qiu Xiulan?"
Ji Xia felt that this girl had no taste and no manners. "No, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Qin Xiao. Who are you?" Han Xuelan didn't take Ji Xia seriously. Since it wasn't Qiu Xiulan, then it must be a poor relative of the Qin family or a friend who came to ask for money.
After all, Chen Congying was known in the compound for being nosy and liking to support this and help that.
"Mom, someone is coming!" Ji Xia had already guessed who it was. She was too lazy to inquire about the woman's identity and directly called Shen Congying.
Just as Ji Xia was about to turn around, Han Xuelan asked again, "Are you Auntie Chen's adopted daughter? Tsk, since you're married and pregnant, why don't you live with your in-laws and come to live with the Qin family?"
As soon as Shen Congying came out, she heard Han Xuelan's words. Her face looked very bad, and she barely maintained a stiff smile, "It's Xiao Han, what are you doing here?"
Since she was not presentable, Han Xuelan was too lazy to pay attention to Ji Xia and walked in on her own. Chen Congying had no choice but to follow her and asked again, "Has it been lunch time, Xiao Han?"
At this time, asking such questions without any invitation obviously means that the other party is not welcome.
It’s a pity that Shen Congying’s elegance and composure were all wasted because the other party couldn’t understand him at all.
"I have eaten, Aunt Chen, I have been transferred back to Beijing." Han Xuelan was overjoyed. Although this was a good thing, what did it have to do with others?
Shen Congying didn't know how to respond, "That's great!"
Han Xuelan said familiarly, "I was transferred back based on my own abilities. I will be working in the General Staff Department in the future. Aunt Chen, am I very capable?"
Shen Congying smiled awkwardly, "It's really amazing. I've always said you're a pretty good kid."
Han Xuelan was so happy to receive the praise from Shen Congying that she sat down on the sofa. "Aunt Shen, is Xiao back? I heard he was transferred back too."
Chen Congying exclaimed, "Really? I don't know, Xiaoxia, do you know if Xiao has been transferred back?"
Ji Xia felt that since her mother-in-law had not introduced this woman to her, it proved that this person was unimportant. Everyone in the family knew that Qin Xiao had been transferred back, and her mother-in-law was acting like this now, naturally because she didn't want to deal with this matter.
"Mom, I don't know either. I haven't heard him say that." Ji Xia also played dumb and covered up for her mother-in-law.
Han Xuelan looked at Ji Xia with disdain, "You are not related to him, just a sister. Would Ah Xiao tell you such an important thing?"
Chen Congying was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Han, I forgot to introduce you. This is my second daughter-in-law, Xiao's wife, Xia Xia. This is the daughter of the Han family, her name is..."
Chen Congying opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end, he really couldn't remember who this woman was, so he had to close his mouth.
Fortunately, Han Xuelan only heard the first half of Shen Congying's words. After hearing that Qin Xiao was getting married, her mind was in a mess. She pointed at Ji Xia and said, "She, she, she, you, you...did you do something to Ah Xiao that forced him to marry you?"
