Song Shishi took the bun and thanked Meng Xiaoqi with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoqi, please sit down and rest for a while."
Meng Xiaoqi waved her hand and looked at Meng Xunzhou with sparkling eyes.
"Brother, your injury scared everyone.
Mom said that there are guests coming to our house today, and she and Dad will come to see you in the evening.
After knowing what happened to you, Mom has lost her appetite.
But now it’s okay, you’re awake, and your sister-in-law is taking good care of you, mom will definitely be happy if she knows.”
Meng Xunzhou smiled and nodded, looking at Song Shishi from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness.
At this time, the door of the ward was gently pushed open again, and Zheng Peilan walked in with an aluminum thermos bucket in her hand.
"Shishi, Xunzhou, I wanted to send you some more nutritious soup, so I sent it here right after it was made."
...
...
Seeing Meng Xiaoqi was there too, she smiled and greeted her, "Xiaoqi is here too, come over and have something to eat with us."
Meng Xiaoqi scratched her head embarrassedly: "Auntie, my mother also made meat-filled buns."
Zheng Peilan smiled and said, "That's perfect, let's eat together."
The ward was suddenly filled with a warm atmosphere. Several people sat together, eating breakfast, talking and laughing.
After dinner, Song Shishi and Meng Xiaoqi cleaned up the table together, and Meng Xiaoqi pulled Song Shishi aside.
"Sister-in-law, when will our college entrance examination results come out? You are so talented, you will definitely be admitted to a good university, but I am not sure."
Song Shishi smiled gently: "It should be soon. You usually work so hard, why do you say such discouraging words when the results are almost out?"
Meng Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue.
"Don't be too nervous. I forgot to ask you before. Which school did you apply for before the exam?"
Meng Xunzhou pulled the quilt covering his waist and looked up at Meng Xiaoqi.
Meng Xiaoqi sighed, a trace of frustration flashing across her face.
"My grades are just so-so, so I applied to Beijing Normal University. It would be nice to be a teacher in the future."
Song Shishi patted her shoulder gently.
"Beijing Normal University is also very good, and you have been studying very hard, so there will be no problem. Besides, being a teacher is so great, you can teach and educate people, and your students will be everywhere in the world."
Meng Xiaoqi forced a smile.
"I hope so. Sister-in-law, you will definitely be admitted to a top university."
Song Shishi's eyes were firm. "I have discussed with your brother and plan to apply to Jingshi University to continue studying diplomacy-related majors so that I can play a greater role in the diplomatic field in the future."
As she was speaking, the nurse knocked on the ward door.
The nurse's eyes swept around the ward and finally fell on Song Shishi.
"Comrade Song Shishi, someone called the hospital and said they were looking for you."
Song Shishi's heart tightened.
The person who would call the hospital to look for her at this time must be a colleague from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
She responded, quickly got up and followed the nurse to the nurse's station to answer the phone.
After answering the phone and returning to the ward, Song Shishi took Meng Xunzhou's hand with an apologetic look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Meng Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and asked with concern.
Song Shishi took a deep breath and said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has an urgent task. I need to immediately participate in the preparations for an important foreign affairs reception. It may take several days."
Meng Xiaoqi looked worried: "Sister-in-law, you are so tired, can you do it? Or talk to the leader..."
Song Shishi shook her head: "This mission is very important. It concerns the country's diplomatic image. I can't back down."
Although Meng Xunzhou was a little worried, he nodded: "You go, work is important, I'm much better now and can take care of myself."
Meng Xiaoqi quickly said, "Sister-in-law, go and get busy with your work. I'm here for my brother."
Song Shishi packed up briefly, and before leaving, she reminded Meng Xunzhou worriedly: "You must change the medicine on time, eat well, and don't be stubborn."
Meng Xunzhou smiled and nodded, "I understand, go ahead."
Song Shishi walked outside the hospital and was about to take the bus back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when a jeep stopped in front of her.
"Comrade Song, Mr. Xie sent me to pick you up."
The driver was a very young man. He politely got out of the car and opened the door for Song Shishi.
Song Shishi has been with Xie Yushan for such a long time, so naturally she knows this young man.
He is Xie Yushan’s exclusive driver, named Gu Weijun.
I heard that he is quite skilled and was specially hired.
On the surface, he was a driver, but in reality he was specially arranged to be by Xie Yushan's side to protect him.
But Xie Yushan actually sent such an important person to pick her up.
"OK, thanks."
After Song Shishi rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she learned that the person they were receiving this time was an important diplomatic delegation from a Western country.
The two sides will have in-depth discussions on trade cooperation, cultural exchanges and other aspects, and the translation work that Song Shishi is responsible for is crucial, and no details can be missed.
Time is tight and many sensitive issues are involved.
Song Shishi didn't have time to rest and immediately plunged into the intensive preparations.
I was very busy reviewing relevant information, sorting out the recent developments in exchanges between the two countries, familiarizing myself with the backgrounds of the delegation members, and relevant policies and regulations.
On the other side, Meng Xunzhou was in the ward, and Zheng Peilan also returned to the military compound after Song Shishi left.
And Meng Xiaoqi naturally stayed to take care of Meng Xunzhou.
She has nothing to do at home anyway.
Now that the college entrance examination is over, all she has to do is wait for news.
"Brother, don't worry. Sister-in-law is so capable that she will definitely complete the task successfully. Just take good care of your injuries. When sister-in-law comes back, she will be happy to see you healthy and well."
Meng Xunzhou smiled helplessly: "I know, I'm just afraid that she will work too hard and tire herself out."
Time passed quickly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
Song Shishi was still busy in the conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She was concentrating on recording the key points conveyed by Xie Yushan.
Tomorrow they will formally receive the diplomatic delegation, and preparations must be made.
After the meeting, Xie Yushan walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder: "I heard that Xiao Meng was injured. Did you rush here from the hospital? How is he now?"
Song Shishi nodded slightly, "Well, it's nothing serious now. As long as you rest and recover, you will be discharged from the hospital soon."
"That's good. After this reception is over, I'll give you a few days off."
"No need, godfather. You have cultivated me so hard. If I always take leave to rest, my colleagues will have opinions."
Xie Yushan took good care of her and considered her in everything, and she didn't want to make things difficult for Xie Yushan.
Xie Yushan nodded, raised his arm and looked at the time on his watch.
"It's getting late. Are you going back to the military compound, or somewhere else? I'll ask Weijun to take you there."
Song Shishi stood up and shook her head, "No need. Xunzhou is in the hospital. I'm worried and want to go to the hospital first. Besides, Comrade Gu is here to protect you. It's not good to always let him be my driver."
