Seeing his wife crying so hard, Ji Jianguo had to show his attitude even though he felt sorry for his daughter and thought everything she said was right. He stood up, picked up the chopsticks and was about to hit his daughter on the head. Of course, it was just a gesture and it wouldn't hurt much.
The moment he stood up, Xie Sufen grabbed him and said, "Don't hit the child!"
Ji Jianguo naturally withdrew his hand and looked at his wife, "Don't listen to her nonsense."
Ji Xia couldn't bear to see Xie Sufen's tear-stained face, so she stood up, took a wet towel and handed it to her, "Mom, wipe your face."
Xie Sufen wiped her face and held it in her hands, saying, "Xia Xia is right. If I weren't so useless, Xia Xia wouldn't have suffered so much with me."
"Mom, don't blame yourself so much. This is unnecessary. There are not many people as capable as Mrs. Ji in this world."
Ji Xia was not trying to comfort her, but was telling the truth. It was not an ordinary person who would do such a thing as exchanging children with other families. Old Mrs. Ji's character was really extraordinary. Her father had been a bit foolishly filial in the past. Her mother alone could not break free from the constraints of Old Mrs. Ji's family.
What’s done is done, and she hopes her mother can have a new future.
Xie Sufen was a person who listened to advice. She also realized that her daughter was special. It seemed that her daughter had grown up and become sensible overnight. She touched her daughter's hair and said, "You are a person with your own opinions. You are better than your mother. Just make your own decisions."
Seeing that her mother was open-minded, Ji Xia no longer suggested that her mother move to the county town. After all, she didn't want her mother to interfere in her life. Did she want to interfere in her mother's life in return?
"Mom, eat!" Ji Xia put a piece of braised pork into her mother's bowl.
Xie Sufen cried for a while and actually had no appetite, but she was also very tired after a day of work. After taking a bite of the braised pork, her taste buds were stimulated and her appetite was aroused again. She felt that it was so fragrant and delicious that she ate two large bowls of rice without realizing it.
Ji Jianguo was washing the dishes. Seeing that she had nothing to do, Ji Xia went back to her room. After closing the door, she entered the space and took a shower in it. Xie Sufen called her to fetch water to wash her feet, and she responded.
She had to come out and fetch water, soaking her feet as she had no choice. She sat on the bed with her legs hanging down. She couldn't help but think that after marrying Qin Xiao, even if he followed the army, they would be apart more often than together, and she would be free at that time.
After thinking about it happily, Ji Xia went out. Xie Sufen took the foot washing water from her hand, but Ji Xia avoided it and said, "Mom, I can do it myself!"
Xie Sufen felt a little emotional. Her daughter had changed almost overnight. Perhaps it was because of the great changes in her family that her daughter had become much stronger than before. "You and that officer are planning to get married. He will definitely come to our house and let us meet you, right?"
"Yeah!" Ji Xia poured the water and closed the door again. "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll ask him to come over when he has time. Dad happens to be on vacation these two days, so Mom, you don't have to go to work for the time being."
Xie Sufen said, "Tomorrow your father and I will go to the mountains to collect firewood."
Although the production team distributed wheat straw, sorghum stalks, cotton stalks and rice straw that could be used as firewood, a large amount of firewood was needed to heat the kang in winter. In addition, the fire had to be burned until the wheat was ripe in May of the following year before wheat straw could be supplied. Therefore, every household had to rush into the mountains to collect firewood before the snow fell.
"I'm going too!" Ji Xia said.
It gets dark early in winter, and a night owl like Ji Xia can't go to bed so early. She entered the space, but unfortunately there was no internet. She asked the system for internet, and the system required her to actively work and build a modern research institute before giving her a big gift package.
If you are lucky, there will be a network activation reward in the gift package.
Ji Xia had no choice but to painfully start typing the tutorial with ten fingers.
Fortunately, she types quite fast and has the best technological brain, so she can finish the tutorial almost without thinking, as if her ideas are flowing freely.
After three or four hours of hard work, a basic tutorial was completed. Ji Xia connected the computer to the printer and printed two copies of the tutorial of more than 20 pages.
Looking at the time, it was already past ten o'clock. Ji Xia did not leave the space and went straight to sleep on her former little princess bed.
The soft Simmons mattress is much more comfortable to sleep on than the hard bed outside the space, and I had a dreamless night.
The next day, Ji Xia was unable to collect firewood because someone came from the factory and received a new part to make, but he couldn't program it. Fortunately, the equipment was highly automated, otherwise the tool would have been broken.
After hearing about it, Ji Jianguo of course wanted to go too.
He had discussed this with Xie Sufen in bed last night and asked her to go to the city so he could see if he could find a temporary job for her, but Xie Sufen was unwilling to go.
Tickets are needed everywhere in the city now, and you can’t buy food just by having money.
When farming in the countryside, work points can be exchanged for food at the end of the year. When the food and money are divided, if the production team has extra food, you can just use the money to buy it.
Generally speaking, there is always extra food, and you can buy it with a little money, and the price is cheaper than outside.
Living in the city has its advantages these days, and living in the countryside has its advantages as well. Ji Jianguo also thought this made sense.
Ji Xia didn't force her. Since her mother had to live in the countryside, she would try her best to help her mother improve her living conditions. She planned to get her mother a coal stove.
At Factory 21, a crowd gathered near the milling and turning center. A resounding voice could be heard throughout the entire workshop. "So what if this equipment is so advanced? Isn't it true that the more advanced the equipment, the better it works? Are you dumbfounded now? I could have just machined this on a regular lathe, which saved me so much trouble!"
"Just because we can't write a program doesn't mean the equipment is difficult to use. As long as we write the program and start automatic processing, the speed will be much faster than using an ordinary lathe." Ren Yong was a little angry.
"I don't believe it. The products you've been processing these past two days are all very simple, but this drive shaft is extremely complex. I don't believe this equipment can process it."
Ji Xia walked closer and saw that it was an old technician in the factory named Qian Huisheng, who was in his early thirties. It was said that he had attended university before. When the Russians provided support, he went to the Russians for training for half a year. He had quite a bit of prestige in the factory.
When Ji Xia was giving training at the factory, he happened to be on vacation and missed it. When he arrived, he found that the rapid progress was real. Ren Yong, who always wanted to learn some skills from him and tried to curry favor with him, actually became a technician.
The equipment he was responsible for were actually these four state-of-the-art devices. How could Qian Huisheng be willing to be outdone?
It just so happened that the factory took on a job making a drive shaft. The part's profile was too complicated, and Ren Yong spent the entire night programming but still couldn't figure it out. This was probably when he ran into Qian Huisheng's trap.
After listening to Qian Huisheng's words, Ji Xia finally understood what it meant to be complacent.
She walked over, snatched the part from Qian Huisheng's hand, took a look at it, and smiled.
