Chapter 313 Go to work
Xia Zhizhi, as soon as she had enough to eat and drink and stayed in a warm place, she began to feel listless and drowsy.
Seeing Xia Zhizhi's expression, Grandma Zeng said to Xia Sihua and his wife, "You need to take a shower, why don't you go back quickly? Get ready and have a rest early. I've taken a day off today, so you'll have a lot of things to do tomorrow. You don't need to worry about Zhizhi. I'm here for you."
Xia Qingqing also went back with Xia Sihua and his wife. She has to rejoin the team tomorrow.
In the past, Xia Qingqing stayed in the army except for going home for the Chinese New Year to reunite with her family. She never took a vacation. This is the first time in her life. And, it goes without saying, taking a vacation really makes people happy.
After returning from vacation, I feel fully recharged and full of energy.
On the way back, Xia Sihua and his wife asked her how she got along with her sister.
They were from the same group of sorcerers and they all felt the same way about Xia Zhizhi, that she was naturally a well-behaved, pitiful and lovable baby.
Xia Qingqing picked out the things she found interesting and talked about them.
The distance from my grandma's house to my own home is not far, and I arrive there in just a few minutes.
Seeing that the two sisters get along well, Pan Wenjun is also very pleased. She touches her eldest daughter's head and says, "Mom knows that you are always very sensible and take good care of your younger siblings. You must be tired from the car ride. You should wash up and go to bed early."
In fact, the Xia couple's work is not easy, and Pan Wenjun usually does not bring hospital work home.
Xia Sihua was different. After washing up, he sat in his study and started working overtime. He had a secretary, so when he was busy, he would work wherever he went.
On the Gongzhan Hutong side, Grandma Zeng arranged for Ah Ju to live in the west room opposite Xia Zhizhi.
Xia Zhizhi originally thought that she had to explain Ah Ju's origins again. She was planning to take the initiative and directly say that she and Ah Ju had kowtowed to each other and became sworn brothers, so that his parents would get a good son for free.
For this reason, I specifically told Ah Ju to be polite when he returned.
But unexpectedly, none of the reasons she had prepared were used. Xia Qingqing sent a telegram when she got on the car. Xia Sihua and his wife learned about it in advance and had already made arrangements.
I don’t know what excuse he used, but everyone responded well to Xia Zhi’s appearance and even prepared a gift for him.
Even grandpa didn't say anything.
Ah Ju only had two sets of clothes to wear to hide her identity. She quickly hung her own clothes in the house and then began to unpack Xia Zhizhi's luggage.
Then food, clothing, and daily necessities must not be lacking.
He tidied everything in an orderly manner, hung up the clothes where they should be and put the food and daily necessities in the appropriate places, and soon everything was tidy.
Grandma Zeng was very satisfied after seeing it.
Only Xia Bangguo frowned slightly. His father was a straightforward person who believed that one should do things by himself. How could he be so indulgent towards his children?
But considering that Xia Zhizhi had just returned, he endured it.
Grandma Zeng had a lot to say to Xia Zhizhi, but she felt sorry for her travels, so she finally decided to let her rest first. She touched her head and said, "You rest first. Tomorrow, when you wake up, you can go to work with grandma, okay?"
Xia Zhizhi wanted to say: "I don't really want to go. I just want to lie down at home."
But considering his own personality, he nodded obediently.
After the two ancestors of the Xia family returned to the house, Xia Zhizhi drew the window curtains and went directly back to the space.
There is floor heating in the house, and the furniture is made of good materials. Of course, the particularly delicate carvings have been removed, and the bedding has been washed and dried and is very warm.
But Xia Zhizhi wanted to go back and take a shower.
Although it's very cold today, I always feel a little tired after sitting on the train for a few days.
After taking a shower and taking care of personal hygiene, I found a place to lie down.
Thinking of her hardworking and brave personality, Xia Zhizhi did not stay in bed on the first day she returned home.
When Grandma Zeng came to her room, Ah Ju was braiding her hair.
Grandma Zeng held up a coat and said, "I asked someone to make this for our Zhizhi. Zhizhi, can you wear this today?"
Xia Zhizhi responded crisply: "Okay, this dress is really beautiful, grandma is the best!"
Grandma Zeng smiled widely and said, "As long as you like it, I'll take you to the shop in a couple of days and we'll make two more sets to wear during the New Year."
Comrade Xia Bangguo watched his wife unfolding the clothes, and Xia Zhizhi simply followed her grandmother's posture and put her hands into her sleeves.
Ah Ju followed behind her and adjusted the position of the flower on her head.
Grandma Zeng gathered her clothes and started buttoning them.
Xia Bangguo was so speechless as he watched, as Xia Zhizhi stood there, half a head taller than her grandmother.
For Xia Bangguo, it should be the granddaughter who helped her grandmother to put on clothes. Now that she is found, it would be useless if she does not show filial piety to the old lady and just waits for everything to be provided for her.
How can you be so accommodating to children?
The same thing happened to the old woman. He specifically instructed her yesterday, but she acted like she didn't hear anything.
Seeing how happy Grandma Zeng was, Xia Bangguo snorted heavily, put his hands behind his back and walked out of the house again.
"Let's ignore him, he's just a bad person." Grandma Zeng straightened Xia Zhizhi's collar and said, "Oh, our Zhizhi looks good in anything she wears."
After dinner, Grandma Zeng went to work. Although she is already at this age and should have retired in the future, they are still fighting on the front line now.
The two generations of the Xia family have basically been on the battlefield.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zeng Zelan served as Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Political Department of the North China Field Army.
After the founding of New China, the government took into consideration the fact that the children of frontline cadres had no school to go to and no one to take care of them, so it provided them with a plan to solve their worries.
My great-grandmother took the initiative to apply for permission to establish a school for children of revolutionaries to better educate the next generation of revolutionaries, namely the School for Children of Field Army Cadres, and served as the principal. Later, it became the 11th Primary School in the capital.
Zeng Zelan is a rare female comrade who holds the rank of colonel and has been awarded the August 1st Medal, the Medal of Independence and Freedom, and the Medal of Liberation.
Today, my great-grandmother is the deputy director of the Office of the Director of the General Political Department, and also the director of the office of Comrade Xia Bangguo, her adopted grandfather.
When it comes to fighting, Grandma Zeng is indeed not as good as Xia Bangguo who fought back from the front lines, but she did make great contributions in logistics.
My workplace is in the famous Zhonglanhai.
After registering Xia Zhizhi at the gate, we drove inside and drove all the way to the yard where their office was located.
The house is actually just those houses, except that it was once a royal villa and is more exquisite.
There are several offices in one yard with signs hanging on the doors. If you don't look at the people working inside, there is actually not much difference from other offices.
There are several tables in the room with telephones, some information and books on them. There are several cabinets on the side with some documents in them.
The work process is basically the same. The office is responsible for processing some written data and documents. Phone calls come in from time to time, and occasionally people from other offices come to visit.
