This is a Shanghai brand watch, a women's watch. It looks quite high-end and is brand new. You can tell at a glance that her mother-in-law bought it specifically for her.
There are countless famous watches in Ji Xia's space, but at this moment, for her, even a Feida Belle worth millions is not as good as an ordinary Shanghai watch like this.
In the era when the average wage was in the twenties or thirties, a watch would cost at least one hundred and forty yuan, and an industrial ticket was also required.
The money for a watch can be saved slowly, but industrial tickets are hard to come by. In the black market, the value of an industrial ticket is equivalent to the value of the goods.
This is also why Ji Xia showed her goods to Mr. Qiao Sanye, and Mr. Qiao Sanye worshipped her as a god.
Ji Xia was a little touched. The mother-in-law gave her such a big gift the first time she saw her. It could be said that she was very sincere.
"This is too expensive!" Xie Sufen also said from the side.
Chen Congying pulled Ji Xia to sit next to him and said with a smile, "It's not expensive. A daughter-in-law like our Xia Xia deserves it. I came here in a hurry and didn't make any preparations. I'm sorry to have embarrassed my in-laws. I hope you don't mind."
Ji Xia couldn't help but look at Qin Xiao. Did his mother know that he married for the sake of his country? Probably not.
Chen Congying really didn't know. She only knew that her son would not let even female mosquitoes get close to him since he was a child. Now people advocate free love, but her son doesn't have a girlfriend. In the past, there was a pretty girl from the army art troupe who followed her home, but her son actually said he didn't know her.
Now he is 25 years old, and his son of the same age can already help with housework, but her son still has no girlfriend.
When asked, he said there was no rush.
How can I not be anxious? It’s so anxious that I’m dying!
She also has a daughter, Qin Wanxue. She was already anxious, and this damn girl actually asked if her brother liked men. This scared her mother so much that she couldn't sleep at night.
Now, when she heard about getting married, Shen Congying didn't even take a change of clothes, but ran over to see her daughter-in-law. When she saw her, wow, what a beauty she was. She was so beautiful that it was no exaggeration to say that even the heaven and earth were eclipsed. Only then did Shen Congying understand that there was a reason why her son looked down on those girls before.
The two in-laws, one thought his son-in-law was really great, and the other was satisfied with his daughter-in-law in every way. They were both anxious to get the marriage certificate, so they soon started talking about getting married.
"Let's get the certificate first. If we're getting married, we definitely need to do that. Otherwise, why not do it here first..."
Chen Congying had just started when Ji Xia said, "Auntie, it's fine with me, but Ah Xiao probably doesn't have time. We previously agreed to get the certificate first and hold the wedding banquet later. Besides, now is a sensitive period, so it's easy to do it, but it would be bad if something goes wrong."
It's not like they love each other that much, and it would be too embarrassing to do it in a big way. That's why Ji Xia doesn't want to go through so much trouble.
As soon as Ji Xia opened her mouth, Qin Xiao knew she was bothered by the hassle, so he followed her and said, "Yes, let's keep the wedding simple. We can talk about it when we have the chance later."
When they heard there was an opportunity, the three adults started to think in the wrong way, thinking that the current policy did not allow it.
Xie Sufen has always been timid. "Then I'll listen to Ah Xiao. However, it is still necessary for everyone to have dinner together tonight. My dear, you must stay here for dinner later so that the whole family can have some fun together."
Shen Congying naturally obeyed, "Then I'll have to trouble my in-laws."
She will take the train back tomorrow morning.
Chen Congying wanted to discuss betrothal gifts and other matters with Xie Sufen, so she sent Qin Xiao and Ji Xia out for a walk. "Didn't you say you wanted to see their back mountain? Let Xia Xia take you there. This is a good opportunity."
Qin Xiao and Ji Xia quickly got up and walked out of the back door, following the path to the back mountain. The weather was a bit cold, but after climbing for a while, it became warm on the mountain. Ji Xia asked, "Do you know where I can find pine nuts? I want to get some and fry them."
"Know!"
They come to this mountain often and are very familiar with it.
Qin Xiao took her into the mountains. Both of them were very strong, and they marched at a forced pace, climbing more than ten miles of mountain roads without even taking a breath.
Ji Xia saw a squirrel with gray and yellow fur. It was holding a pine cone in its two front paws. It was looking at Ji Xia vigilantly, its black eyes moving around smartly, as if condemning Ji Xia, "What are you doing here, a two-legged beast? Are you here to steal our winter food again?"
Ji Xia looked cute, but for the squirrel, a thought made the world spin. The scene in front of it suddenly changed, and it landed on a meadow. Its favorite pine cones were still in its arms, but the tree that grew the pine cones was gone.
Ji Xia moved the squirrel to his own space, mainly because he felt that the farm looked empty. He had raised a snake there before, but later the snake was donated to Old Lady Ji. Now it was empty anyway.
Ji Xia thought about it, and all the pine nuts went into the space, leaving a few outside. Together with Qin Xiao, he collected about one pound, which took almost half an hour. There was also a handful of hazelnuts. Seeing that the sun was almost setting, the two got up and walked back.
Ji Xia had heard before that one could find mountain treasures in the mountains, and she also wanted to pick up a few hundred-year-old ginseng plants. She looked around, but couldn't find any, so she thought it would be nice to pick up a few rabbits.
Ji Xia was holding a few stones in her hands. Halfway through, she finally saw a big gray rabbit passing by in the grass. She threw the stones in her hands, and there was a sound of breaking air. Then she saw a small piece of grass collapsed.
Ji Xia quickly jumped up and ran over there. She stepped on a stone, but half of the stone was hanging in the air. Although she was very agile, she was too relaxed and not alert, so she stepped on empty air and fell backwards.
Qin Xiao jumped down almost without hesitation, caught her falling body, and cushioned himself under her.
Ji Xia only felt her back hit a warm chest, and the force of the fall was absorbed by Qin Xiao's arms. A muffled groan came from behind, and Ji Xia remembered the wound on his body, where her elbow had hit it.
Ji Xia quickly let go and asked, "How is it? Does the wound hurt?"
Qin Xiao frowned in pain, and said calmly, "It's okay, I'm fine!"
Ji Xia hurriedly supported herself on the ground and stood up. Qin Xiao followed behind her and patted the dust off her body with his right hand. He didn't say anything and did this very seriously.
Ji Xia stood where she was, patted the front herself, and let him pat the back clean. She turned around and saw that Qin Xiao had originally removed the gauze on his arm sling, and now his left arm was raised again, which showed that the wound should have opened again.
She pulled Qin Xiao's wrist and walked to a large rock, pressing him against it. "Sit down, let me take a look at your wound."
After saying that, she began to unbutton Qin Xiao's clothes.
