Chapter 222 Ji Xiurong's Positive Progress
Those who have already read it can reread the first two chapters, otherwise the plot will not connect.
I'm working myself to the bone today.
There should be two more updates in a little while!
……
Xia Tian stood in the open space of the campsite, looking at Ji Xiurong who seemed a little awkward, and was filled with confusion.
In his memory, Ji Xiurong had always been a generous, warm and cheerful person.
Her laughter was hearty, and she walked with a brisk pace, like the most radiant sunflower in summer.
But Ji Xiurong, standing before him, had her eyes lowered and was nervously clutching the hem of her clothes; her usual radiance was nowhere to be seen.
Such an unusual occurrence must mean something is wrong.
"Mr. Xia, I want... I want to learn more about meteorology from you!"
Ji Xiurong hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to speak.
Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something, and her eyes were full of trepidation and anticipation.
Xia Tian listened to Ji Xiurong's words, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
"Comrade Xiurong, are you trying to get me to give you special treatment?"
His tone was light and humorous, attempting to ease Ji Xiurong's tension.
"Oh dear, Engineer Xia!"
Ji Xiurong stamped her foot somewhat embarrassedly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Among the women who went up the dam together, I was the only one who graduated from a vocational school."
She lowered her head slightly, her voice tinged with a hint of inferiority.
"I don't even have my own major."
"I finally got to study meteorology with Yan Xiangli for a while, but then Yan Xiangli left again!"
"But I feel that my meteorological skills are still only half-baked."
She raised her head, her eyes shining with determination.
"After talking with you that day, I discovered that you, Engineer Xia, are also proficient in meteorology, which is why I thought of..."
Her words were filled with a thirst for knowledge and a concern for her own inadequacy.
After listening to Ji Xiurong's words, Xia Tian's eyes were full of admiration, and she responded with a smile.
"Comrade Xiurong, you are very ambitious, not bad at all!"
He nodded slightly as he spoke.
"I happen to have a few books on meteorology that I can lend you to take a look at!"
"If there's anything you don't understand, just come and ask me!"
"Really? Engineer Xia?"
Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Ji Xiurong's eyes widened with excitement, and a look of surprise instantly shone in them.
She had already prepared herself to plead and beg.
She had even prepared various excuses, but Xia Tian agreed to her request so readily.
"Of course it's true! Don't you want to learn?"
Xia Tian looked at Ji Xiurong, smiled and asked in return, a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"Of course I'd like to, thank you, Engineer Xia!"
Ji Xiurong was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
She was so moved that she wanted to bow to Xia Tian to express her heartfelt gratitude.
Xia Tian quickly stopped her and waved his hand, saying...
"Alright, Comrade Xiurong, come with me to get the books!"
Summer led Ji Xiurong toward the dormitory at the old camp.
"Comrade Xiurong, it's a bit cold outside, please come in!"
Summer arrived at the dormitory entrance and invited Ji Xiurong in with a smile.
"Isn't this bad?"
Ji Xiurong blushed slightly upon hearing Xia Tian's invitation, appearing somewhat shy.
After all, it was a man and a woman alone in a room.
If others see this, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
She subconsciously bit her lip, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
"That's right, I didn't think it through!"
Xia Tian immediately understood Ji Xiurong's concerns and secretly regretted her carelessness.
"Then come sit in the lab first, I'll go find you a book!"
Summer brought Ji Xiurong to the laboratory at the old camp.
The laboratory door was somewhat old and made a soft creaking sound.
He lit the kerosene lamp, and the dim light immediately illuminated the entire laboratory.
It added a touch of warmth to this slightly cold space.
The flickering lights illuminated the various instruments and specimens displayed on the shelves.
"Please sit here for a while, I'll be right back."
After finishing his speech, Xia Tian hurriedly returned to her dormitory.
Ji Xiurong's eyes curiously surveyed the layout of the laboratory.
The laboratory is not very big, but it is filled with all kinds of instruments.
Ji Xiurong had been to the laboratory at the new camp before.
Compared to the laboratory in the summer, the laboratory at the new camp seemed a bit shabby.
Soon, Xia Tian hurried back to the lab with her books in her arms.
"Comrade Xiurong, these are two basic books on meteorology."
He handed the book to Ji Xiurong, his eyes full of concern.
"You can take a look first!"
"If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me."
"Read these two books first. After you finish these two, I'll give you something more advanced."
Ji Xiurong excitedly accepted the book that Xia Tian handed her.
He held it tightly in both hands, as if he were holding an incomparably precious treasure.
Her fingers gently caressed the book cover, her eyes glistening with tears of emotion.
"Thank you, Engineer Xia!"
Her voice trembled slightly, filled with gratitude and joy.
"You're welcome. It's getting late, you should head home too!"
Summer glanced at the night outside and offered a reminder.
Night began to fall, and the camp was enveloped in tranquility.
"See you tomorrow, Engineer Xia!"
Ji Xiurong carefully walked out of the laboratory, carrying the books.
Her steps were light, her heart filled with anticipation for new knowledge.
"See you tomorrow!"
As Xia Tian watched Ji Xiurong's departing figure, a feeling of relief welled up in her heart.
Unexpectedly, among all the comrades who went up the dam, Ji Xiurong was the most proactive and progressive.
Ji Xiurong took the book that Xia Tian had given her and hurried back to her dormitory.
In the dormitory, Qin Xuemei was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) tidying up her clothes.
"Xiu Rong, where did you go?"
Qin Xuemei looked up and asked Ji Xiurong.
"I went to see Engineer Xia and borrowed two books."
Ji Xiurong waved the book in her hand, said something to Qin Xuemei, and smiled broadly.
"Oh, what's it about?"
Qin Xuemei asked another question out of curiosity. She put down the clothes in her hands and her gaze fell on the book in Ji Xiurong's hands.
"Regarding books on meteorology, didn't I study meteorology with Yan Xiangli for a while before?"
Ji Xiurong sat down on her kang (heated brick bed) and gently placed the book aside.
"It was only that day that I realized that Engineer Xia also knew about meteorology."
"I was just thinking of enriching myself, so I borrowed a few books from him."
She patiently explained to Qin Xuemei.
"Go for it, Xiurong!"
Hearing Ji Xiurong's words, Qin Xuemei encouraged her, a smile of encouragement on her face.
"I believe you can definitely learn it well."
"Thank you, Xuemei!"
Ji Xiurong gave Qin Xuemei a grateful look.
She put away her meteorology books and then took out her notes from the summer lecture on afforestation.
She knew that her educational background was slightly lower than that of Qin Xuemei and the other two.
Then she has to work even harder than them so that she doesn't fall too far behind.
