Ji Xia said, "Speak!"
She glanced at Qin Xiao sideways, as if to say, "If you can't say something nice, I'll never let you go."
Qin Xiao, a fierce figure in the army, felt a little frightened by such a look. He lowered his eyes and spoke in a steady voice, but it was still a little hoarse when he listened carefully. "The institute only needs you to go over and provide guidance occasionally. However, there are some rules for providing guidance. If you can't stay at the institute for a long time, you will need someone to accompany you every time you go."
Ji Xia understood that it was called accompanying, but in fact it was just surveillance.
She came from the military and understood this system very well, so she had no problem accepting it.
"I need someone to accompany me every time. If someone sees me like this, how am I going to explain it?" Ji Xia said unhappily.
Unexpectedly, this question played right into Qin Xiao's hands.
"So, you need an identity." Qin Xiao looked at her seriously, "Ji Xia, I can cooperate."
Even though Ji Xia was a man of steel, a blush inevitably appeared on his face. "How are you cooperating?"
Qin Xiao was also a little uncomfortable. He turned his face away, his pleasant voice tinged with trepidation, "The organization needs me to cooperate with you as your husband. You can still live at home after we get married, and you can tell others that you are not accompanying the army. Whenever you are needed to go to the institute, I will pick you up. Because of this identity, no one will be suspicious."
Ji Xia was so shocked that her eyes opened wide, she simply couldn't believe it. She admitted that Qin Xiao was very good in both hardware and software. In fact, she was afraid that she would never meet anyone with better conditions than him in her life.
His facial features are all above her aesthetic standards, and his outstanding abilities are needless to say. In addition, her relationship with Qin Wanxue makes her look at her best friend's brother with a filter. His several times of covering up for her and taking the blame for her purpose make her trust him uncontrollably, but it does not mean that she has to sacrifice her life for it.
"What I'm saying is, I have to provide the organization with supplies and technology, and in the end, I'll have to sacrifice my own people?"
Ji Xia's voice was cold, iron-blooded and indifferent, and the sound of her teeth grinding made Qin Xiao couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.
"No, I'm just cooperating." Qin Xiao said.
"Since when did military marriages no longer require applications or reports? Have military marriages become so lax?" Ji Xia taunted mercilessly.
Qin Xiao pursed his lips, he really didn't know how to speak.
When Commander Liang told him about this, he felt it was unreliable, but selfishly he wanted to give it a try. What if it succeeded?
Today, Luo Heng's appearance made him, who always thought ten steps ahead and liked to plan behind the scenes and then win the battle from a thousand miles away, put forward this suggestion for the first time without any consideration and without any preparation.
Qin Xiao was not surprised at all to be rejected by Ji Xia.
If Ji Xia agreed immediately, he would probably be on guard.
"This... is just a suggestion!" Qin Xiao turned to look at her.
Ji Xia didn't notice Qin Xiao's thoughts. He had such a serious face that even if Qin Xiao said in front of her that he was interested in her, Ji Xia would think that this was a task assigned to him by the organization.
Ji Xia smiled, "I'm so sorry, Captain Qin, you're going to sacrifice your life for my career. I think that's extremely inhumane!"
Even though Qin Xiao could tell she was being sarcastic, he remained sincere and said, "I'm willing to cooperate, even if it means a lifetime of cooperation."
Ji Xia thought to himself, as expected, your lover is the motherland. For the sake of the motherland, you are really willing to go through fire and water and devote yourself to it until your death!
But she is no longer a soldier in this life, and she doesn't want to do that.
"Let's talk about it later!" Ji Xia tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. Seeing the tractor driver coming back, she was about to get out of the car. "I have to go to work. My mom is going to come and kill me soon."
Qin Xiao leaned back and closed his eyes helplessly.
This mission is arduous. Since he joined the army, he has always been a vanguard. This time he is afraid that he will return empty-handed, but he is unwilling to accept it. He will never accept it for the rest of his life if he fails to complete this mission.
Ji Xia didn't care about that. She went back to her mother to work together. When it was finally dark, she blew her whistle, threw down the shovel in her hand, and was about to leave. Her mother slapped her hard, "Don't you want the shovel anymore?"
When they returned to the place where they got their meals, the steamer had already been opened. Ji Xia looked at it from a distance and saw that it was another pot of mixed grains, sweet potatoes, corn, black beans, and brown rice, all mixed together. It was a big pot full of food, and steam was coming out of it, but Ji Xia lost his appetite just by looking at it.
There was a big pot next to it containing wild vegetable soup, without a trace of oil.
Ji Xia sat in the usual place. Her mother went to get some food. Even though it was mixed grain rice, the amount given to each person was not much. Ji Xia held the teacup in her hand and had no appetite.
She looked around and saw that everyone was busy eating, so she took out two steamed buns from her pocket, secretly handed one to her mother, and took one to eat herself.
"Where did it come from?" Xie Sufen asked sternly.
The main thing is that it was out in the wilderness and Ji Xia hadn't gone out, and she was with the people in the army just now.
If Ji Xia bought it from the county, Xie Sufen wouldn't say anything.
"Mom, why are you asking this?" Ji Xia swallowed and said vaguely.
"Did the soldier give it to you just now?" Xie Sufen thought about her daughter talking to the soldier just now. Some people in the team started gossiping and came to her specifically to ask if her daughter was dating someone.
"Yes!" Ji Xia said without any psychological burden, "Isn't it better than the ones in state-owned restaurants?"
Xie Sufen was having trouble eating, but it was so delicious that she took a bite. "Just now, your Aunt Cuixiang told me that Matchmaker Huang found a very good match for Yunxia, and she was also asking you about your Aunt Cuixiang's nephew. He's a good driver for the commune's transport team, eats commercial grain, and is not bad looking."
Because Xie Sufen's husband was a soldier, she was alone during those years when her husband was away and was often bullied by her in-laws. The couple lived apart, and even though her husband sent money back home, she didn't want her daughter to marry a soldier.
She had had enough of that kind of suffering.
Ji Xia never dreamed that one day she would have to deal with her mother's urging to get married and even go on blind dates.
"Mom, I'm only twenty, and you're planning to marry me off. Do you think I eat too much?" Ji Xia acted aggrieved. "Mom, don't be like this. I will work hard to make money. I still have to support you and Dad in the future."
"Your father and I don't want you to worry. Even though we don't have a son, we don't plan to keep you at home to find a son-in-law. Your father and I will be satisfied if you can find a good marriage. You are already twenty years old, not young anymore. I was married to your father when I was your age. In two years, I am afraid you will be too embarrassed to get married."
