Ji Xia delivered the medicine in time, and the doctor wrote a hospital admission order for Shi Kaiji. After he was admitted, he was given an IV drip.
People of this era had never used antibiotics, and they mainly relied on enduring illnesses. Once the medicine was applied to their bodies, it would take effect quickly.
Shi Kaiji suddenly felt that his chest tightness was much better and he soon fell into a deep sleep. This was the first good sleep he had had since he fell ill.
Zhu Ruiyun was relieved and excited to see her husband sleeping peacefully. She held Ji Xia's hand tightly and said, "Miss, you are our benefactor. We cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Whenever we can repay you in the future, we will spare no effort."
"You're so kind! We're glad we could help!"
Although Ji Xia said this, she was still very curious about the identities of these two people.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao quickly found out the identities of the two people.
In the corridor, Qin Xiao handed the two people's identification information to Ji Xia, "Mr. Shi Kaiji is a senior talent in electrical engineering who was brought back by the army at a certain cost five years ago. His wife, Ms. Zhu Ruiyun, is a very famous translator;
Many publishing houses have been hoping to collaborate with her, and it is said that many original authors hope that their works will be favored by her.
Ji Xia took a look at Zhu Ruiyun's works. In later generations, her translated works were highly praised by the literary world. Her words were accurate and her language was beautiful, which could accurately express the characteristics of the era described in the works.
Needless to say, history's evaluation of Shi Kaiji is very regrettable. His achievements were mainly made abroad. The reason why he did not make any achievements after returning to China was mainly because he died of illness after being sent down to the countryside.
His wife also committed suicide shortly after his death.
The names of the two people have been buried in the dust of history, and only in the fields where they are located, when their achievements are evaluated, will people sigh for them.
Ji Xia couldn't help but tighten her grip on the paper. She had no intention of fighting against the tide of the times, because if she wasn't careful, she might drag the Qin family down with her and put them in danger of collapse.
But since it has happened, she doesn't know whether she will regret it in the future if she just watches it and does nothing. At least for now, she can't get over this hurdle.
What's more, the current project really needs talent.
"Brother Xiao, did they make a serious mistake?" Ji Xia asked cautiously.
Qin Xiao shook his head. "They didn't do anything wrong. They were reported by someone. They had hidden a lot of foreign books at home. They were originally supposed to be sent to the farm, but someone must have helped them out, so they were sent here."
It's slightly better than being on the farm, but the situation for the two is still not optimistic.
"The high-speed rail project now requires a new power grid. I've already investigated, and there's no excess electricity in the country to supply the energy needed for the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. We absolutely must rebuild the power system, and Mr. Shi is the most suitable person to lead it."
Ji Xia looked at Qin Xiao with some embarrassment, "Brother Xiao, is there any way to transfer him to this project?"
Qin Xiao understood what Ji Xia meant. First, it was a pity to have such a talented person, and second, he really needed manpower.
If my wife relies on such a big project alone, she will be exhausted.
Qin Xiao looked at Ji Xia affectionately. There was no one around. He raised his hand and stroked Ji Xia's cheek. "Don't worry, I'll find a way."
Ji Xia held his hand, pursed her lips, and said, "But if it's difficult, if it affects the Qin family, and if it's disadvantageous to us, then forget it. No matter what we do, I hope our safety comes first."
There are too many bumpy roads in this world. If you really want to be a hero, you may not be able to walk a mile in a day.
Ji Xia does not have such ambitions. She will only lend a hand when it is in her own interest and within her ability. Meddlesomeness and even getting herself involved are things only a fool would do.
Qin Xiao smiled. "I know. Even if you didn't tell me, I would still be cautious. These two people are protected by someone above. If I'm not mistaken, it should be this person..."
He raised two fingers, and Ji Xia knew who it was.
He is a remarkable man with noble character and a brilliant personality. Over the years, he has done his best to save many people.
It is precisely for this reason that those who have gone through untold hardships and returned from abroad with the desire to build their motherland have not lost confidence. Regardless of life or death, they are still full of the most sincere love for the land under their feet.
That would be great.
After one bottle of liquid was infused, Shi Kaiji's fever subsided, and he felt much more energetic when he woke up.
Ji Xia and Qin Xiao brought some milk powder, malted milk and fruits to the ward to visit. Zhu Ruiyun was just about to go home to make some porridge for Shi Kaiji.
Ji Xia hurriedly took out some tickets and gave them to her. "Just buy some food in the cafeteria for now. It's getting late now, and the snow is heavy outside. The road is quite slippery, so it's not convenient to go back and forth."
Zhu Ruiyun refused to accept it. "You have already helped us enough. Without you, we, Old Shi, would be dead. Besides, we took the day off this morning, and we can't leave without finishing the work. I have to go finish the work later, and I will pass by the house anyway."
The snow outside needs to be shoveled, even though it is still snowing heavily.
Ji Xia didn't expect it to be like this.
Zhu Ruiyun comforted him, "Don't take it personally. We're lucky to have met you. I've been doing this for the past two years, and my hands and feet are much more nimble than before."
Ji Xia knew that there was another reason why Shi Kaiji and the other man were reported. Zhu Ruiyun's grandfather was an important official in the late Qing Dynasty. She grew up in luxury and returned to her country full of enthusiasm. She probably never dreamed that the scene would be like this today.
At the same time, Ji Xia also admired these two people very much.
Shi Kaiji kept smiling after waking up, and that noble and elegant demeanor was truly engraved in his bones.
Regardless of his wealth, status, or social class, he always gives people a calm and relaxed feeling, just as the saying goes, "Unmoved by praise or criticism, just sit back and watch the flowers bloom and fall in the garden" is truly practiced in his life.
What a transparent life this is!
On the contrary, Ji Xia felt that she was tacky.
There was no other way for the time being, so Ji Xia stuffed some tickets to Zhu Ruiyun and said, "We are going back to Beijing soon. It's useless for me to keep these tickets from Heilongjiang Province. You need them urgently now, and it's the same if you return them to me in the future."
Zhu Ruiyun felt as if these tickets weighed a thousand pounds. Tears welled up in her eyes as she smiled and said, "I hope that in the future, we will have the opportunity to repay this kindness."
"It will be there, don't forget it!" Ji Xia said playfully.
This was a rare moment of playfulness on her part. Most of the time, she was a bit cold and overly calm.
Zhu Ruiyun was amused by her.
It was indeed getting late, so Zhu Ruiyun didn't bother. She went to the hospital cafeteria and bought a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns made of two-grain flour, and a dish of cabbage stewed with vermicelli. She came back and prepared to call the two of them to eat together, but Ji Xia and Qin Xiao had already left.
