Chapter 144 Going to the Fifth Team to Inspect the Location
"When did you find out?"

Lin Miao was surprised. She noticed the medical report in Qi Yan's hand and snatched it away.

Without Ji Sisi needing to explain, Lin Miao understood immediately, and after reading it, his eyes fell on Ji Sisi's lower abdomen.

Can I be the child's godmother?

She was both surprised and delighted, and cautiously asked, "Can I be the child's godmother?"

"Of course, no one is more suitable than you." Ji Sisi was infected by the emotions of the two of them and was also very happy. This was different from the feeling she had when she first found out.

It seems that sharing with those around me brings more happiness.

When Lin Peifeng urged them to leave, the three of them came out of the room one by one.

Seeing Lin Miao grinning, Lin Peifeng narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was definitely up with these three.

"Sis, what have you been doing in there for so long?"

Lin Peifeng followed behind Lin Miao, saying, "You came out all smiles, don't tell me you're fine."

"I don't even tell you what's going on, what can you do about it?" Lin Miao's smile vanished, replaced by a simple and direct tone.

She knows her younger brother all too well; he's more gossipy than a woman and can't control his mouth.

Keeping it from him was the best decision we could have made.

Lin Peifeng was indignant. "You, we're family, for goodness' sake. You don't even share your happy moments with us. You're being too distant."

As he spoke, Lin Peifeng went back to the kitchen to complain.

“Sister-in-law Hongying, my sister and the others are hiding something from us. They really don’t treat us like family.”

Lin Miao's face fell, and she immediately went inside to refute the rumors.

Ji Sisi, who had already started serving the dishes, shook her head and smiled helplessly. It seemed that Miao Miao was right; Lin Peifeng really was just a child.

Just then, Qi Yan walked over and took the groceries from her hands.

"Go sit down and rest. I heard you went to the commune as soon as you got back today?"

“We have to get the car back, otherwise we’ll have to walk the next day. Don’t treat me differently. Sister Hongying will definitely notice something is wrong.”

Ji Sisi snatched the dishes and walked around him, saying, "Don't just stand there, go help out."

Qi Yan knew he couldn't go against her, so he had no choice but to listen to Ji Sisi.

As Ji Sisi rode her bike, her thoughts were still on the joke that happened at the dinner table last night.

After buying the wine, Lin Peifeng drank one glass and then dragged Ji Sisi to toast him, saying that not drinking would be disrespectful. He had put in a lot of effort for this dinner party and even coerced her into toasting a sister-in-law named Hongying.

Hongying's sister-in-law actually drank a cup of rice wine at his urging.

Ji Sisi was immediately lifted up, and in the end, Lin Miao slapped Lin Peifeng on the head as a pretense of reprimand. Qi Yan quickly replaced the wine in her glass with water.

The two worked together seamlessly.

Once the others came to their senses, she cooperated with the two men and drank the entire bottle of water instead of alcohol.

Ji Sisi sighed, "It's really unpleasant to keep something from people."

"Comrade Ji is back!"

When the villagers working in the fields saw someone riding by on a bicycle, they looked up and guessed that it was Ji Sisi.

"Yes, things at home are settled. Aunt Liu, is Captain Ma in his office?"

The old man looked up with a smile, "I'm here. I finished registering early this morning and went back to the office to wait for you."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Liu. I'll go to my office now."

The office was just a short ride away. Ji Sisi got off the bike and parked it.

Captain Ma was sitting in his office. He had heard the ringing earlier, and now that the sound was gone, it must mean that Ji Sisi had arrived.

He dusted off his pipe, carefully put it away, adjusted his cap, and got up to leave. "How did it go?"

When Captain Ma saw Ji Sisi again, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had found her again. He was genuinely worried that she wouldn't come back.

"Successfully, Captain Ma, did you receive Director Yan's notification?"

Captain Ma didn't expect Ji Sisi to get into work mode so quickly; he still had a lot to say about catching up.

“Zhang Da-wa brought it back last night. If you want to be arrogant now, I’ll have someone accompany you.”

Captain Ma was about to go and make arrangements.

"No need to rush. Our team suffered a lot last time with the lung disease. I remember Director Yan said we would choose from Team 5. How come it's our team?"

Ji Sisi remembered that they had clearly discussed it yesterday, but she didn't know why it suddenly changed.

Captain Ma didn't mince words and directly stated the reason: "That's what Zhang Da-wa said yesterday. Aren't they all awesome? What's the difference between going to the Fifth Team and our team? Here, everyone is a familiar face."

That makes sense, but this year the sixth team was too outstanding. They caused trouble but it was quelled. They not only escaped punishment but also benefited.

The team leaders who used to avoid him all now have reasons for siding with Director Yan, suggesting that he is biased towards him.

Director Yan also had unspeakable grievances.

Considering that Team Five has little land but a lot of cattle, if this project can be successful, we will definitely start by collecting cattle from Team Five as a pilot project.

"Director Yan must have his reasons. If people find out we're disobeying orders, what will they think of us?"

Captain Ma was slow to realize that he was so focused on whether it was convenient for Ji Sisi that he seemed to have forgotten to consider Director Yan's feelings.

"That's true, I didn't think that through."

"Captain Ma, don't worry. I'll just go there for a while. I'll go back after the machine is ready. The two teams are close to each other, so it won't stop me from coming to Team Six."

When you go to work in a new environment, you have to readjust to everything.

However, there's no other way to consider the bigger picture.

Today, Ji Sisi needs to scout the location first. She is not familiar with the route of Team Five, so she can only ask Captain Ma for help.

"Okay, I'll take you there. I have some connections with Captain Wu of the Fifth Team."

Without saying a word, Captain Ma prepared to lead his men to Team Five.

Unlike the previous route, Ji Sisi discovered that this place had a lot of grassland and plains, and all she saw along the way were yaks and goats scattered all over the grassland.

The deeper they went into the grassland, the fewer there were. Captain Ma pointed out the direction to Ji Sisi.

"Look, that's their fifth team's office."

Ji Sisi looked over, her pupils contracting slightly from the visual impact. It was even simpler than the Sixth Team's, feeling only slightly more sturdy than the cowshed.

"Don't underestimate others. Although they don't pay much grain tax, they make a lot of money. They earn tens of thousands a year just from selling cattle."

At this point, Captain Ma gave Ji Sisi some extra lessons.

“These cattle and sheep are their eyes and ears. They can’t touch anything except to sell them. They cherish them like the plague. If it weren’t for Director Yan coming down to appease them during the last lung disease incident, they would have attacked Qiping Commune long ago.”

Ji Sisi listened quietly to Captain Ma's story.

The more she listened, the more pressure she felt. This meant that her achievements in the sixth team were worthless to the fifth team because they didn't need them at all.

"But don't worry, you're a cadre now, and this was ordered by Director Yan."

Although Captain Ma comforted Ji Sisi, he was still a little unsure.

When they arrived, Ji Sisi got out of the car, and Captain Ma pushed the car and walked alongside her.

Just then, someone came out and the door was opened. Captain Wu was tall and wore a thick robe, with a long beard.

"Is this Comrade Ji?"

Director Wu stared at Ji Sisi, seemingly already knowing that she was coming.
