Chapter 175 Don't be so naive.

Fortunately, the health center wasn't far away; it only took about ten minutes by car to reach the health center of another commune.

Guo Xiaolan was pushed inside. Lin Miao wanted to go in too, but since she wasn't from the health center, she couldn't go in.

The four of them could only wait outside.

I just saw Guo Xiaolan with a face full of pain, her sweat soaking her hair and sticking it to her forehead and cheeks, and she kept groaning and crying out in pain.

Ji Sisi felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about it.

Even with the blessing of the spiritual spring, she was still unsure. The saying that childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell is not without reason.

Modern medicine is incomparable to that of later generations.

"Sisi, why do you look so pale?" Lin Miao noticed the pale face of the person next to her.

Zhang Shufang saw through Ji Sisi's worries, "She's obviously scared. Sisi is four or five months pregnant, so you have to be careful."

"Sister-in-law." Lin Miao glanced helplessly at Zhang Shufen.

"Don't worry too much. Once you're a little further along in your pregnancy, Qi Yan has already arranged a hospital for you to go to the provincial capital to give birth. The car will be ready in a while after the paperwork is completed."

Lin Miao held Ji Sisi's hand and said, "Don't worry, today's event is just a low-probability event."

Zhang Shufang didn't dare to speak, worried that she would scare Ji Sisi.

Ji Sisi is known to everyone as an eloquent and calm person, but she is so frightened that she can't speak. It's clear that she is really scared.

"I'm fine." Ji Sisi patted Lin Miao's hand. "Where's Fang Shiming? Did he go to the capital too?"

“Yes, five people went this time.” Lin Miao nodded.

Two hours passed, and the people outside waited anxiously, from dawn till dusk, before the door to the delivery room was finally opened.

"Guo Xiaolan's family? Congratulations! Mother and child are safe. The baby was born prematurely and needs to be sent for observation. The baby weighs 5 pounds and 3 ounces. The mother won't be out for a while. Who will come with me?"

As soon as the nurse came out, everyone except Master Shi surrounded her.

The baby, curled up in swaddling clothes, was a tiny bundle. His eyes were closed, and his skin was deep red. He had cried himself to sleep and was now asleep.

Ji Sisi stared blankly, and Zhang Shufang next to her said, "I'll go with you."

Guo Xiaolan was also wheeled out of the delivery room half an hour later.

Lin Miao was communicating with the doctor, while Ji Sisi and Master Shi returned to their ward first.

When Guo Xiaolan opened her eyes and woke up, the first thing she asked her child was, "Where is my child?"

"Your child was premature and has been taken to be observed. Sister-in-law Shufen is with him, so don't worry."

Guo Xiaolan closed her eyes again, relieved.

"Thank you for today, you saved me again."

Guo Xiaolan couldn't explain it either. She didn't like Ji Sisi at first, or perhaps she was jealous of her.

"Get some rest. The matter of thanking people should be left to Fang Shiming."

Looking at the weak Guo Xiaolan, Ji Sisi felt a mix of emotions, but overall she was happy that both the child and the person were alright.

Guo Xiaolan woke up for a while and then fell asleep again. Ji Sisi sat quietly beside her, waiting for Lin Miao and Zhang Shufang to return to the ward.

After a night of fussing, Lin Miao stayed to take care of Guo Xiaolan, while Zhang Shufang and Ji Sisi returned to the research institute. Master Shi stayed overnight in the institute's dormitory.

The next day, Master Shi had to get up early to load the goods so that he could finish delivering the goods to Gu County as soon as possible.

At six o'clock in the morning, Ji Sisi and Master Shi had already arrived at the factory.

While the goods were being inventoried, Ji Sisi connected the water hose and washed the car with Hu Zhibin.

"Sister, why are you here so early this morning?" When Hu Zhibin saw Ji Sisi appear at the factory, he thought he was still half asleep.

Ji Sisi briefly mentioned what happened last night, and Hu Zhibin, who was next to her, visibly slowed down his car-washing speed.

"Is he alright?"

Ji Sisi nodded and stood beside her, rinsing the area with a hose. "It's all good. By the way, Master Shi said you're getting married next month. Has the date been set?"

"It's settled, it's the third day of the Lunar New Year next month. You have to come, sister."

Hu Zhibin only calls Ji Sisi "sister" when they are alone; when others are present, he calls her "Manager Ji."

"When you go to Gu County next time, bring the newly made gift boxes with you. Set the price between fourteen and fourteen and a half yuan. You can decide how to price them yourself. When the samples arrive, take them to your department and tell them the news."

Hu Zhibin agreed, "Gift box? Where did you get it?"

“Yesterday I went to the printing factory in Luxian County and signed a contract with them. Each gift box costs 50 cents, and I ordered 500.”

Hu Zhibin hadn't forgotten what happened last time, and gave a mocking snort.

"Didn't they dislike us? Why are they suddenly willing now? Does that mean we can stop the work in Gu County?"

"No rush."

When the printing factory was mentioned, Ji Sisi thought of Manager Yang, whom she had met yesterday. "Do you remember Manager Yang who had a conflict with Niu Da last time? He came to see me yesterday, probably wanting to cooperate with us."

"Of course I remember, how could I forget?" Hu Zhibin was puzzled. "Sister, how come you ran into people who had conflicts with us when you went to the city yesterday?"

"How would I know? You talk to Niu Da later and tell him not to act impulsively, but also not to rush things. The more partners we have, the more money we can make. As for the price for Manager Yang, tell him to think it over carefully."

"Okay, I'll talk to him when he gets here."

The car was almost washed, so we put a thin film on it and started moving the goods.

imperial capital.

As Qi Yan emerged from the main hospital, he immediately spotted the car parked at the entrance, and Zhang Zhifeng waved to him.

"boarding."

Qi Yan walked in, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat. "Why are you here?"

"What, you don't want to see me?" Zhang Zhifeng started the car. "Aunt Shen went to buy groceries early this morning, she should be busy cooking at home right now."

"I'll go to the department store first to buy some things, and then I'll go back to my hometown to pick up some things."

Zhang Zhifeng was surprised and joked, "You even buy things when you go back to your own home?"

"You misunderstood, I bought it for Sisi."

Zhang Zhifeng: "..."

"I heard that Yan Yan is back too. Aunt Shen took Qi Yan to change her name to Qi Qing." Zhang Zhifeng was speechless at Shen Wanqing's words.

Qi Yan didn't speak; he crossed his arms and leaned against the car window.

"Why did you come out as soon as I asked you to? You weren't answering my calls the past few days."

Zhang Zhifeng was a chatterbox; he kept talking the whole way.

"I'm going back the day after tomorrow, so we won't have many chances to meet again. Some things always need to be put to rest."

The car weaved through the streets. It had only been a year since he had returned, and the familiar streets had begun to feel strange. Qi Yan looked out the car window.

"What do you mean? You don't plan to come back? What are you going to do if you stay there for the rest of your life? Didn't we already say that you'd all be transferred back to develop your careers in two years?"

Zhang Zhifeng parked the car, turned to look at Qi Yan, and said, "Your parents said they don't want anything, so you just give up everything? Qi Yan, you're almost thirty. Don't act so childishly. No wonder Aunt Shen said you're crazy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhifeng immediately felt displeased.
