191: Let's Have a Baby! (1 More)
If you often carry the blame, the people who carry the blame will get used to it.
Besides, Xia Xiaolan didn't even know that she had taken the blame.
Sheng Xuan didn't think badly about her, but she thought too kindly - how could Xia Xiaolan put pressure on Sheng Xuan and Zhu Suizhou through the Song family to let them withdraw from Qiongdao? With this kind of life-saving news, Xia Xiaolan would only say good or bad to those who are really close.
Xia Xiaolan now mainly wants to do a good job in the design of Jiangcheng Tianhe International Airport. This project was approved in 1985. After four years of preparatory work, it would be too late for Qihang to join in, if not for the deadlock of several design institutes. , and no chance to set sail.
Xia Xiaolan took Frank and Hou Qi to Jiangcheng by herself, and it took a lot of effort to meet the person in charge of Tianhe International Airport.
The general manager of the project refused to bid by Qihang Office.
"Things are getting more and more complicated. The Design Institute has already done a lot of preparations, and you set sail..."
Not only is the time wrong, but the qualifications are also lacking.
Although Qihang has developed well in the past two years, and the firm has many successful cases, there is not a single large-scale infrastructure project!
Or Xia Xiaolan patted her chest and assured the chief executive:
"As long as you give us a chance, whoever has a good plan will choose whoever has the best plan. It is our firm that puts in the energy and time. Even if we don't choose our plan, the process of participating in this matter is a valuable experience for us. We will hand in our answers before the deadline."
Xia Xiaolan dared to run over to take the opportunity, because although Tianhe International Airport is a big project with a high level and scale, it is a civilian airport. If it was a military airport, she wouldn't come even if it was a military airport!
For a civil airport, there is still a little chance to set sail, at least not involving secrets.
In other words, there are not many secrets involved, and it can be solved by signing a non-disclosure agreement.
Anyway, Xia Xiaolan and the general manager have met several times, and it may be that the proposals of several design institutes made it difficult for the project team to make a choice.
"In May next year, we will finalize the final plan, and officially break ground in June. If we can come up with your plan before bidding in May, I can give you a chance!"
In other words, to set sail, you have to come up with an airport plan first, and only after it is approved can you be allowed to participate in the bidding?
Xia Xiaolan's first reaction was to seize this opportunity, and she agreed without hesitation.
The general manager also laughed, "Young people are really full of energy."
They didn't say anything about the guarantee. Maybe they worked hard to come up with the project plan. They said that they were not qualified to participate in the bidding. All their efforts were wasted.
Time is too fast.
Bidding in May, Qihang will come up with a plan before May, this is not a community, not an office building, but a large airport!
Xia Xiaolan couldn't dislike the harsh requirements of the chief executive, she had to thank them for giving this opportunity.
After the two sides separated, Frank was excited, and even Hou Qi didn't say bad things about setting sail. Hou Qi was also worried about the time:
"Mr. Xia, there is too much work to be done, do we have time?"
"It's too late to increase the manpower, Frank is right, it needs to set sail to stop other projects, and put more manpower to do this. It's already December, and by April next year, we have 5 months left. time!"
5 months, let's work hard!
Xia Xiaolan not only wants to call the people from the office, but she also wants to be rooted in Jiangcheng, and the land price in Qiongdao will definitely rise, so let it continue to rise.
Xia Xiaolan intends to hold on for another year, and she will withdraw from Qiongdao by the end of 1990!
Xia Xiaolan led people to do projects in Jiangcheng. Zhou Cheng was eagerly looking forward to his daughter-in-law. She took time to go to Zhou Cheng's unit to live for two or three days a month to deal with the sailing. The cherry blossoms are gradually opening, and the city is full of cherry blossoms - there is no time to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Due to special historical reasons, Zhou Cheng does not like seeing the cherry blossoms in Jiangcheng.
The cherry blossoms have withered, and the plan for sailing has almost come out.
Xia Xiaolan took someone to submit the plan to the general manager, and she was a little dazed.
She has been in retreat for too long and can't feel the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, it was April 1990, and the 1980s that made her full of passion for struggle have actually passed!
In April 1990, Xia Xiaolan was about to turn 25 years old.
In April 1990, Zhou Cheng turned 27 years old.
The two have been married for more than two years, and their relationship is stable and sweet. There is no red-faced quarrel. Xia Xiaolan wants to test how she and Zhou Cheng should deal with the disagreement in the marriage, but it is clear that there is no conflict and quarrel, and she can't deliberately. Create contradictions to test!
On Zhou Cheng's birthday, Xia Xiaolan told him what she had thought about for a while:
"Can we have a baby?"
They have been married for more than two years, and they are both on contraception. No one has urged them to have children, and Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng have not put it on the agenda.
Now that Xia Xiaolan took the initiative, Zhou Cheng was not overjoyed.
He really wasn't in such a hurry, instead he was seriously considering whether it was the best time.
His work will not be transferred from Qiongdao in recent years. What about Xiaolan's business?
If the couple can't stay together often, then Xiaolan has a child, what can the father of his child do?
You can't leave the child to Xiaolan, or throw it to your mother-in-law, or to his own mother Guan Huimo, this is very irresponsible...
"Why did you suddenly have this idea, did someone say something in your ear?"
Zhou Cheng was worried, Xia Xiaolan gave him a white look, "No one urged me, I always wanted to have a child when the conditions were ripe, but now I find that the conditions will never be fully mature, and neither couple can do it. There will be another one, and we can at least guarantee the material foundation... Don't look at me, I think I'll be 25 years old, I'm afraid I won't have enough energy in the future."
At the age of 20, she was so energetic that she could stay up for several nights in a row to draw pictures.
At the age of 25, Xia Xiaolan was really tired after four or five months after working hard on big projects.
Sure enough, no matter how strong her will is, she can't fight against the laws of nature. As she grows older, her physical strength and energy will decline. It is better to give birth to the child earlier and have the energy to give her a good education.
This reason convinced Zhou Cheng.
After consultation, the couple agreed that they will not use contraception in the future, and let the flow come naturally to prepare for pregnancy.
Of course, this news has to be kept secret from the elders on both sides. Zhou Cheng feels that the elders will start to care about when Xiaolan is pregnant when they know about it, which will put pressure on Xiaolan!
Let's talk about it when I'm really pregnant, the elders can only be happy... Even if it's his awkward old husband, he can't wait to see his son-in-law, and he won't even dislike his grandson/granddaughter, right?
