Chapter 8 Giving up on a great future
Fan Chunhua saw her daughter being beaten and her husband angry again. She quickly stood in front of Li Jiajia and protected the child.
"If you have something to say, why don't you do it? Li Weimin, are you crazy? If you do something to a child as big as Jiajia, have you ever thought about saving face for her?"
Jiang Shengmei kept silent and wanted to leave. Li Jiajia lowered her head to wipe her tears and swept the people at the door.
"Mom, Aunt Jiang is here."
Li Weimin's expression gradually softened. He sat down with a frighteningly gloomy face.
Fan Chunhua wiped Li Jiajia's tears and consoled her, "Don't be sad, Jiajia. I'll talk about your dad later."
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the dumplings in Jiang Shengmei's hand, "Are you making dumplings again tonight?"
Jiang Shengmei hummed, knowing that the atmosphere in the Li family was not good.
As someone who had watched Li Jiajia grow up, she also felt distressed, so she couldn't help but say one more thing.
"Instructor, if a child does something wrong, there must be a way to teach him a lesson. Chunhua is right. Jiajia is about to reach the age of marriage. If you still do it casually, how can Jiajia meet people if she goes out?"
"What my sister-in-law said is that I will pay attention to it in the future." Li Weimin had no attitude of admitting his mistake at all.
This was a family matter. Jiang Shengmei couldn't say more and left after delivering the dumplings.
"I don't care what misunderstandings you have about Xia Mi, but early this morning, Camp Commander Huo handed the marriage application report to the political commissar. If everything goes well, the marriage certificate will be issued soon."
Li Jiajia stared, astonishment written on her face.
"How is this possible? Huo Jingchen's father will never allow it..."
"Enough! It's none of your business. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. In the end, this is all his own business. When will he change his mind? Otherwise, you think he doesn't want to have a bright future and come to us. This Chai Feng Island?”
Li Jiajia was speechless, her heart filled with shock.
The next day, Xia Mi was awakened by the reveille signal. After a while, he felt sleepy again and turned over to sleep.
Knock knock knock——
Xia Mi opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returned, he put on his coat and went to open the door.
Huo Jingchen walked into the room with a chill in her body, carrying breakfast in her hands. When she was putting things away, her attention was attracted by the thick clothes piled on the bed beside her.
"Just woke up?"
Xia Mi just woke up and was hit by the cold air outside. He shrank his neck and quickly closed the door.
"Well, why are you here?"
"I heard from Aunt Hong that you didn't go out for dinner last night. Didn't you have dinner?" After saying that, Huo Jingchen stared at her.
Even if she is wearing thick clothes, it is not difficult to see that the woman is very thin. The wrist exposed from the sleeves is slender, white, and very thin.
It was so detailed that Huo Jingchen felt that he could break a person's hand with just a little force.
"I was too full at lunch, so I ate some peach cakes at night."
Xia Mi sat down and opened the lunch box, minding his own business. What hit his nostrils was the aroma of sweet potatoes mixed with white porridge, and there was a hint of sweetness in the heat.
"I can still afford peach cakes. It seems that the Xia family is not as exploitative as imagined."
Xia Mi drank a mouthful of porridge, and the warm porridge formed a warm current all the way to her stomach, completely warming her body.
"Why do you eat like a kitten?" Huo Jingchen took out two eggs from his pocket.
The man stood aside, holding the egg in his broad palm, peeling it carefully, "reach out."
Xia Mi obediently stretched out his hand, feeling warmth in his palm, and a white egg appeared in his hand.
"Eat more. If you lose weight like this, people who don't know would think you are a refugee I took in."
Huo Jingchen said he was disgusted, but he didn't stop moving. He carefully checked and peeled it off before handing it out.
Xia Mi: "..."
After Xia Mi had almost finished eating, Huo Jingchen packed up the lunch box and gave uneasy instructions before leaving.
"I won't be on the island tomorrow. I have something to do. If you have anything to do, you can go to Sister-in-law Jiang. She is the lover of the political commissar and is very enthusiastic. You should feel it."
Xia Ya nodded, not caring what he was going to do.
She planned to go to the hotel today to see if they sold bucket boots, and her plan to go to sea had to be arranged. Just as Xia Mi guessed, the guest house did sell bucket boots, but they needed tickets and money. Fortunately, the original owner still had ten dollars and some tickets with him.
She bought a pair of black bucket boots for two yuan. Xia Mi took the bucket boots with her and prepared to go find Jiang Shengmei.
Along the way, Xia Mi received a lot of looks, which made her a little uncomfortable.
She raised her hand and knocked on Jiang Shengmei's door.
"Who?"
"Sister Katsumi, I'm Xia Mi, and I want to borrow something from you."
Jiang Shengmei suddenly stopped beating the child, and the tearful Pihou took the opportunity to escape, returned to the room, and slammed the door shut.
"Lin Qianyue, little bastard, wait until I finish settling the matter and come back to deal with you!"
Jiang Shengmei threw the broom aside and opened the door. When she saw that the person outside the door was Xia Mi, her attitude was not as enthusiastic as yesterday.
"Comrade Xia, what are you doing here?"
After learning about Xia Mi's life experience yesterday, Jiang Shengmei had quite complicated emotions towards this lesbian, and was extremely tormented inside.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing for Camp Commander Huo to marry Xia Mi.
"I would like to ask if you have a small hoe and bucket at home. I would like to borrow it."
Xia Mi did not say her purpose of rushing to the sea, "I want to pick up some nicer shells to make wind chimes."
"Wind chime? What is that?" Jiang Shengmei did not insist on this question, "I don't have a hoe, but I have this. Do you think it can be used?"
Jiang Shengmei found a small bucket and placed a wooden hammer in it. It was called a hammer, but the head was pointed.
It's a bit like the tool used to crack oysters in the fishing video.
"Okay, thank you Sister Shengmei. I don't have anything to pledge. I'll put this bracelet here. I'll take it back and exchange it in two hours. Do you think that's okay?"
Before Jiang Shengmei could react, a cold silver bracelet was stuffed into her hand.
"This, how can this be done? You are the wife of Camp Chief Huo. We will be in the same hospital from now on. Why are you so polite?"
Xia Mi's behavior made Jiang Shengmei's heart loose again.
"It's okay. If I break it, I'll be compensated."
Having things in other people's hands would at least make everyone feel at ease. She would take good care of the tools, and Jiang Shengmei wouldn't worry about the things being damaged.
When Xia Mi was about to leave, Jiang Shengmei called out to her, "Comrade Xia!"
Xia Mi's snow-white face had bright eyes, and her red lips opened and closed to express questions.
"Anything else?"
Jiang Shengmei wanted to ask clearly about what happened yesterday, but when she spoke, she felt presumptuous.
Her eyes rolled around, then lit up, turned around and went into the house to have someone wait outside.
Jiang Shengmei came out with a pair of long sleeves and a pink plaid headscarf, "The wind at the beach is strong, and it gives me a headache if it blows for a long time. If you don't pay attention now, you will suffer a lot in the future."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Shengmei."
Xia Mi's eyes were slightly curved, like crescent moons, and her smile was particularly beautiful, as if there were bright stars falling into her eyes.
"I'll tie the headscarf for you." Jiang Shengmei was caught by her smile again and helped her tie the headscarf softly.
After tying it up, Xia Mi's black hair was tightly wrapped, revealing only a face the size of a palm. The pink headscarf did not look rustic, but made Xia Mi more girlish.
"You are a good-looking person, and you look even better in a sack!"
Jiang Shengmei looked at Xia Mi with envy and appreciation in her eyes.
"Then I'll go over first. The sun will gain momentum later, so I'll move faster."
Xia Mi smiled softly, carried the small bucket, changed into bucket boots, took the things and set off to the beach where he went yesterday.
Watching a beautiful figure walking farther and farther away.
Thinking of what his wife mentioned last night, Jiang Shengmei felt that her worries were paranoid. After all, she still didn't know whether the marriage between the two could be achieved.
