Chapter 204 Guo Xiaolan visits to express her gratitude

graduate School.

"Thank you, Master Shi. It's inconvenient to drive the car in, so could you please leave my things here for me? I'll call someone over to help me move them later."

Ji Sisi originally planned to wait until Master Shi left before moving all the things into the space, and then she would go back.

Master Shi turned off the car and got out to help Ji Sisi move her things.

Fortunately, she didn't have much stuff, so Master Shi could carry it all by himself.

"Manager Ji, I heard from Sister Hongying that you are not a military wife, so why are you living here?"

Ji Sisi was slightly taken aback. "My husband was assigned to work here."

Seeing that Ji Sisi didn't want to talk about it, Master Shi didn't press her for details.

"Oh I see."

"Sisi, you're back! Isn't this the same comrade from last time? He's here to see you off again. Your company really treats its employees well; they even provide pick-up and drop-off services for your home."

Zhang Shufen, carrying a bundle of firewood, asked, "You're not leaving again this time, are you?"

"I'm not going to work for now. I'll go back after I finish my postpartum confinement."

Upon hearing that Ji Sisi went back to work right after her postpartum confinement, Zhang Shufang clicked her tongue in amazement, "You're working too hard. Director Qi is making money, and you only earn twenty or thirty a month, which isn't even half of what he makes."

"Having a baby will cost money everywhere, so every penny we can earn is a penny we can save."

Ji Sisi was really nervous. Zhang Shufang's few words almost exposed Qi Yan's job. Fortunately, Master Shi was not a gossip.

"Director?" Master Shi asked in surprise.

Besides that, he was even more surprised that Manager Ji hadn't told anyone around her about her job.

Manager Ji really does get things done quietly.

Ji Sisi left with Master Shi, worried that Zhang Shufang would talk more and more.

"Master Shi, please have some water before you go."

Ji Sisi opened the door.

Master Shi moved all the things inside. The house was very clean and tidy, but it lacked a bit of warmth and liveliness.

"I won't drink it, I have to rush back to deliver goods."

As Master Shi walked outside, his gaze was drawn to the apple tree in the corner of the yard. "What kind of sapling is this? It's grown so tall!"

Ji Sisi looked in the direction he was pointing and saw the apple seedlings she had planted before.

I suddenly realized that the seedlings I planted casually had grown so tall.

Ji Sisi curled her lips into a smile. "The apple seedlings were planted casually before. I didn't expect them to survive."

Master Shi glanced at it a few more times before finally leaving.

Ji Sisi sat on the sofa. Qi Yan had prepared apples on the coffee table. She had just entered the kitchen to wash an apple.

Voices could be heard outside, and as the voices drew closer, Ji Sisi slowed her movements.

"Ji Sisi?" It was Guo Xiaolan's voice.

Ji Sisi put down the apple and came out of the kitchen. "I'm here. You... Auntie, what brings you here?"

I thought Guo Xiaolan was alone, but when I went outside, I found a woman standing next to her, who looked like Guo Xiaolan's mother.

Guo's mother had an elegant demeanor, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had neat short hair.

It had been a long time since I'd seen Guo Xiaolan. She had lost the sharpness I'd first met, and now she exuded a maternal love. Her eyes were gentle, and her short hair had reached her shoulders.

"I came here on behalf of my mother to thank you for saving my life and my child's life last time. If it weren't for you, I would have been in danger."

Guo Xiaolan had a gentle smile, and she was also carrying something in her hands.

"No need for special thanks. Anyone would help with something that involves life and death."

Guo's mother held the child and said, "Comrade Ji, thank you so much. I've heard about what happened before from Lanlan. Thank you for helping her despite the past grievances." "Auntie, you really don't need to thank me. We arrived at the same time, and we haven't taken those little conflicts to heart for a long time."

She has so many things to do every day now that she's almost forgotten everything from the past.

Since our eyes are in the front, we should always look ahead in everything we do.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and sit down to talk."

Ji Sisi invited the two of them to go inside first.

Actually, she also wanted to see the baby. Last time, the baby was taken away for observation after it was born, and she hadn't had a chance to see it properly.

"Can I see the child?" Ji Sisi asked.

"Yes," they both said in unison.

Ji Sisi didn't dare to hold the baby, but just watched the baby in the swaddling clothes. The baby had a round face, fair and pinkish-white, and was sleeping with its eyes closed.

What's the child's name?

After Ji Sisi finished reading, she sat back on the sofa and asked, "I was worried that the volume was too loud and would wake the child."

"His name is Fang Minghao. My mom and Shiming chose the name together."

Ji Sisi smiled. "It's a good name."

After chatting for a while, Guo's mother learned that Ji Sisi had just returned, and quickly made conversation with her, taking the child and Guo Xiaolan with her.

Qi Yan returned with lunch at noon.

Ji Sisi was still asleep in bed. The weather was getting colder and colder, and she would get sleepy as soon as she had nothing to do and her attention would start to wander.

"Sisi, get up and have lunch first, then go back to sleep."

Qi Yan was worried that his hands would get cold on Ji Sisi, so he didn't dare to touch her with his hands and could only call her softly from the side.

Ji Sisi opened her eyes, blinked, and looked confused.

"You're back. What time is it now?"

"It's 12:40. Get up and eat now, or do you want to sleep a little longer? I'll boil some water and keep it warm until you wake up before you eat."

Seeing Ji Sisi so exhausted, Qi Yan felt a pang of pity and regretted waking her up.

Ji Sisi shook her head and lifted the blanket. "No need for that. Just help me up."

Now that her belly is big, Ji Sisi has to lie on her side to fall asleep, and she needs to put a pillow under her belly to be comfortable.

Qi Yan carefully helped her get out of bed. "Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Because of the spiritual spring water, Ji Sisi's discomfort in late pregnancy was not as pronounced as that of other pregnant women.

"Yes, the child is disobedient. He kicks me whenever I rest or sleep. I'll have to discipline him properly after he's born. He's been giving me a lot of trouble."

Qi Yan smiled slightly. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"The work at the factory has been arranged. Are you sure you won't go back?" Qi Yan was still a little worried, concerned that Ji Sisi might go back to work again.

But he couldn't say anything and could only let her do as she pleased.

"Everything is arranged. I should go during the Spring Festival, since this is the first year since the factory was built."

The Spring Festival is also a busy time for the factory, as it is busy preparing New Year's gifts for several factories and units. This year, even the county party committee's New Year's gift has been ordered from the food factory.

By the time the Lunar New Year arrives, the dormitory building should be repaired.

"Okay, do you want me to take a day off and go with you?"

Qi Yan pushed the water glass in front of her.

Ji Sisi was pleasantly surprised, "You can take leave? That's great! I also want to show you our factory and let you see what this place I've worked so hard to build looks like."

Qi Yan was indeed curious. Now that beef jerky was circulating in the institute, everyone was waiting to buy some when they went to the county.

"Sure, we can go. We have a three-day holiday during the Spring Festival. Just let me know in advance and I'll arrange my work so I can go with you. Lin Peifeng will drive us."
