Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 74 An Incident Occurs at the Experimental Site

Once the wedding date is set, preparations begin, including inviting guests.

There are only five days left until next Saturday.

That evening, the two discussed the menu. Qi Yan suggested borrowing the canteen from her workplace and asking the kitchen staff to help prepare a few tables, saving them the trouble of moving stools and tables.

Ji Sisi took out the candies, melon seeds, peanuts and other dried goods she had bought from the department store the previous two times, and made a menu for Qi Yan to pass on to the kitchen.

That way, we won't have to ask Sister Hongying for help. There are so many people, and she's worried about exhausting them.

Thinking about her upcoming wedding banquet, Ji Sisi couldn't contain her anticipation and excitement.

Suddenly, a question occurred to her, and she asked Qi Yan, "Qi Yan, are any of your family members coming to your wedding?"

Qi Yan paused in her packing, her expression indifferent.

"Sisi, I've never told you this before, but I don't have a good relationship with my family. When I was little, I ate the wrong thing in the middle of the night and had an allergic reaction that caused me to go into shock. When my parents took me to the hospital, our house was robbed, and my younger sister was kidnapped. She hasn't been found yet."

My relationship with my mother has been strained ever since then. It was also from that night that I was sent to my grandfather's house, where he raised me.

Going to Jianghai to find Ji Nian was also because I wanted to fulfill a promise I made to my grandfather. I didn't tell my parents about this wedding.

Ji Sisi did not expect that her casual question would inadvertently reopen Qi Yan's wounds.

That's why Qi Yan's mother disliked Ji Nian. Even though Qi Yan died in his previous life, she didn't want Ji Nian to return to the capital.

Does Qi Yan's mother hate him that much?

Ji Sisi looked at Qi Yan with heartache in her eyes.

Seeing that Ji Sisi remained silent, Qi Yan panicked for a moment, worried that she wanted her family's blessings. "I'm sorry, Sisi, I didn't tell you about this beforehand, but I've already invited several of my friends over. They're no different from my family..."

Ji Sisi snorted, feeling indignant on his behalf.

"If you don't want to come, then you don't have to. I'm marrying you, not your family. As long as you're by my side, that's enough."

With such a heartless mother, Ji Sisi would rather never see her again. How could someone who doesn't even like her own son be good to her daughter-in-law?

As for Qi Yan's family, she seemed to know nothing about them. He was unloved by his father and mother, raised by his grandfather since childhood, and yet he was so generous. What exactly did the Qi family do?

There's no rush. She'll wait for his friend to arrive, and then she can try to get some information out of him.

By the time they finished tidying up, it was already late at night. Ji Sisi had just taken a shower and fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She could even fit into the space.
-
When people are happy, they feel refreshed. On her way to work, Ji Sisi even felt that the breeze was sweet.

I'm going to the agricultural supplies depot tomorrow to report and see if I can get lucky and buy more meat.

Ji Sisi hummed a little tune as she rode all the way to the Sixth Team of Huaihua.

Just as she locked her bicycle, Li Yanhong rushed out from the other side, shouting, "Sisi, something terrible has happened!"

"Don't worry, what happened?"

Ji Sisi helped Li Yanhong up. She was panting heavily and speaking in broken sentences. She was exhausted.

Li Yanhong pointed in the direction of the test site, her voice trembling with anxiety. She had been running too fast and had now lost her breath, her ribs aching so much that she was covered in cold sweat.

"Something terrible has happened! The test site has been destroyed!"

Ji Sisi raised her hand to help Li Yanhong catch her breath, "Take a breath, who destroyed the test site? Tell me slowly what happened."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly ruining Ji Sisi's good mood.

Li Yanhong's breathing gradually calmed down. "Your uncle asked you to go first, and I'll tell you as we walk." "The educated youth who were on duty at the experimental site last night said that the sheep and cattle had wandered into the experimental site."

I found my uncle early this morning. By the time they arrived, most of the grain in the experimental field had been eaten by a herd of cattle and sheep, and the grain that wasn't eaten had been trampled to death.

The test site is in complete chaos right now. The police are investigating and are preparing to take the people on duty and my uncle to the police station for questioning.

Ji Sisi looked solemn. The experimental subjects at the test site had been destroyed. This was a major incident; even now, a sentence of several decades would be too lenient.

Ji Sisi asked Li Yanhong, "Why did the cattle and sheep suddenly come over? Has this happened before?"

“Never. Although the herders live right next to us, not a single cow or sheep has ever wandered into our area in the past few years. Now the police are saying that they can’t rule out the possibility that some sheep wandered in and then led other flocks of sheep and cattle to our side.”

"Have the people from the agricultural supplies department arrived?"

"It's here! It arrived an hour after the telegram was sent, even..."

Ji Sisi walked ahead and, hearing Li Yanhong stammer, turned around and asked, "Even what?"

“Even Director Wu came. He was furious. My uncle was so scolded that he couldn’t straighten his back.”

Li Yanhong burst into tears, “My uncle works tirelessly for the production team, from dawn till dusk every day. Everyone knows how hard he works, and no one has ever argued with him in all these years. But when Director Wu came, he pointed his finger at my uncle and started cursing him…”

Ji Sisi sighed. It seemed that the people from the agricultural supplies department wouldn't let Team Six off easily.

After offering Li Yanhong a few words of comfort, the two walked for a while and finally arrived at the test site.

When Ji Sisi arrived, Captain Ma was still being scolded with his head down, except this time there was someone else beside him, Director Yan.

Before they even got close, they could hear the old man standing in front of them, hands on his hips, cursing and spitting everywhere, and no one else dared to speak.

Chen Chen and the two comrades from last time inspected the situation at the experimental site.

Ji Sisi withdrew her gaze and looked at the ruined experimental site. The potato seedlings that were so vibrant just a few days ago were now all trampled into the mud, and there was a bare area that had obviously been eaten clean.

"Director Wu, come on, take a break, let's have some water first."

Ji Sisi seized the opportunity, poured a glass of water from a nearby small table, and handed it to Director Wu, thus stopping the cursing session.

Wu Guoqing subconsciously took the water and drank a sip.

Then he realized something was wrong. Who was this woman? Why was she acting like she knew him so well right away?

"you are?"

Ji Sisi smiled and said, "I am Ji Sisi, the liaison for Huaihua Commune."

Upon hearing the words "Huaihua Commune," Wu Guoqing's face instantly fell, and he slammed the water bottle he was holding back onto the table.

"Don't try that on me. Your commune has ruined all my hard work. I won't let this go!"

Ji Sisi took a deep breath and smiled apologetically, "Director Wu, I didn't mean to flatter you. It's just that you've been talking for so long, and your throat might not be able to take it if you keep going. At your age, you should take care of your health. Don't get upset."

Captain Ma broke out in a cold sweat. What was Sisi doing? Hadn't Yan Hong explained the situation to her? Why was she adding fuel to the fire?

Director Yan glanced up at Ji Sisi. Why did Ji Sisi seem more like a leader than him? Her tone of voice and way of doing things inexplicably exuded a sense of sophistication.
Oh dear, now is not the time to think about that. He can barely take care of himself, let alone think about others.

Director Yan's heart pounded like a drum, and he lamented inwardly how unlucky he was to be assigned to Huaihua Commune, and he was the only one among his cohorts who hadn't been promoted.

He no longer begs for promotion; he's already thanking God and Buddha for not pursuing the matter further!
