Chapter 18 Moving to a new home
In the afternoon, Huo Jingchen brought people to move things.
Xia Mi was cold to him, but smiled broadly towards Da Qiang and others, which was puzzling.
Daqiang and the others were walking in front carrying the box. Huo Jingchen saw this and reached out to hold Xia Mi.
"Why are you suddenly angry with me?"
Xia Mi took out his hand and glared at him, "I also want to ask you why you spread rumors that I have princess disease. I'm not someone who can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands."
When I was packing my things just now, I was worried that she would be tired and wouldn't let her touch them at all.
Huo Jingchen finally figured out what was wrong with her. He laughed and felt strange.
"Is this bad? In the future, if there are heavy tasks in group activities, people will naturally not choose you. Besides, I am the one who is willing to spoil you. I didn't say anything. Why are you, a person with vested interests, so impatient?"
Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, looking at the man's handsome face.
Inexplicably, I felt that what he said seemed to make some sense, but it would be a shame to switch sides now.
"You don't understand, working people are the most glorious, especially working for themselves."
Huo Jingchen saw through the guilty conscience in the woman's eyes.
"Yes, I forgot that you have the ambition to contract an acre of land. In this case, as your husband, I must support and implement this plan as soon as possible."
Xia Mi's pupils shrank, and he couldn't hold it back anymore, so he punched Huo Jingchen on the arm.
"...You are sick."
In Huo Jingchen's opinion, this intensity was like coquettishness. It didn't hurt or itch, but it actually made her feel a lot happier and made her smile even more.
Hearing Camp Commander Huo's laughter, Daqiang turned around and saw his battalion commander laughing, and Xia Mi next to him looked angry
"Did the battalion commander quarrel with his sister-in-law?"
"Smile like that worthless look. Just open your eyes and take a closer look. Although my sister-in-law is angry, she is not impatient. Daqiang, you have never had sex with someone before, have you?"
Daqiang nodded, "No, but my mother said I will see my partner next time I go back."
"Then you should watch and learn carefully, and learn how Camp Commander Huo coaxes and dotes on his wife."
Xia Mi followed others into the family courtyard. The family courtyards were all one-story bungalows. The overall style was very similar to a period drama that Xia Mi had watched. Almost every household had a wooden ladder on the roof.
It was Xia Mi's first time in the new house, and she observed the house curiously.
Visual inspection shows that there is about a dozen square meters of open space in the yard, and the land has been plowed. It rained heavily last night, and now there are many small puddles.
Fortunately, there is a row of stone slabs on the ground from the entrance to the main room, which will prevent people from stepping on mud and making mud marks everywhere in the house.
Xia Mi is very satisfied with this design.
"Sister-in-law, let's go back first, and you will have to do the rest." Daqiang said goodbye.
Xia Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was her home. How could it be hard work? Isn't it what it should be?
"Thank you for helping me today. Come to my house for dinner tonight."
It just so happened that she had been wanting to make small seafood with sauce for a long time. The typhoon passed last night, so there will definitely be a lot of good things on the beach today.
People here, obviously their thoughts have drifted to the seaside.
"Can you cook?" Huo Jingchen was a little surprised that Xia Mi could cook, and her narrow eyes burst into shock.
Xia Mi raised his eyebrows, proudly like a kitten, raised his chin slightly, and said with great confidence, "I can still do simple things, at least I can't kill anyone."
In fact, her cooking skills are pretty good, but the hospital is too busy and she doesn't have much time to study food.
If he has time in this life, Xia Mi plans to cook all the seafood first.
"You... often cook for them in the Xia family?"
Xia Mi paused and realized that the original owner had never cooked before. Before the exercise, there was always a nanny at home, and after the exercise, the adoptive mother also cooked.
But in order to cover it up, she nodded and admitted, "Occasionally, not often."
Huo Jingchen didn't ask any more about Xia Mi's life in Suzhou.
Xia Mi's clothes are of good quality, and her skin is tender and smooth. She doesn't look like someone who has suffered a great deal.
But why did the Xia family suddenly change their attitude towards their adopted daughter whom they always loved? Is it simply because Xia Mi is not their biological child?
Xia Mi didn't notice Huo Jingchen's change. She knelt down and opened her suitcase. It was full of colorful dresses, which made her eyebrows jump. It was obviously not the first time she saw them. Huo Jingchen glanced at the box and introduced it to Xia Mi.
"There is no running water on the island yet. I have filled the tank with water. If it is gone, tell me in advance and I will pick it up."
Xia Mi followed him. There was a large water tank covered with wooden boards in the kitchen.
Then, Huo Jingchen coughed in embarrassment, "As for the toilet, I'll ask someone to come over and get one tomorrow."
"If we have a wedding banquet, it can be held in the dining hall the day after tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"
This is a rare initiative for Huo Jingchen to ask Xia Mi's opinion. She is not particular about her life, but she hasn't had time to make her wedding clothes yet.
"The day after tomorrow, then I will start making clothes today. I am a bit pressed for time, but I should still be able to make it in time."
Speaking of wedding clothes, Huo Jingchen's mind pictured Xia Mi wearing a bright red wedding dress and beads on her head. She had fair skin and would definitely look good in red.
Xia Mi looked at the man's quietly red ears and asked in confusion.
"Why are your ears red?"
Huo Jingchen looked a little stunned, looked away after regaining consciousness, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave, "It's too hot, the army has other things to do, you are busy with your business."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xia Mi watched the man leave, feeling that this man was inexplicable.
The things Huo Jingchen bought have been put away.
Natsumi just had to put away her clothes and shoes.
After packing everything, she put on her bucket boots and carried her family's bucket to get ready to go to the beach to pick up seafood.
Xia Mi saw the changes on the beach from a distance.
After the typhoon, the water level rose significantly, and Xia Mi did not dare to get too close to the sea.
She looked at the dense snails, scallops, oysters, and small crabs running rampant on the beach.
This scene is extremely exciting.
After Xia Mi confirmed that no one was around, he quickly took out his tools and held the fire tongs to pick up the scallops and oysters.
[Unlock the snails, the mall price is 7 yuan/jin]
[Unlock scallops, the mall price is 2 yuan/jin]
[Unlock oysters, fanned price is 6 yuan/catty]
Xia Mi stood up straight and asked using brain waves, "Did the typhoon bring down the price??"
[System]: "Host, this is based on the price list of coastal cities in the 21st century. We are a conscientious mall and do not engage in high-price recycling."
"In my previous life, I bought palm-sized oysters for four or five yuan each. How come they only cost six yuan a catty here?"
[System]: "You have to ask the middleman about this."
The word "middleman" made Xia Mi very angry. She looked at the crabs crawling everywhere and said, "What about the crabs?"
[The price in the mall is 35 yuan/jin]
Xia Mi started to think about catching crabs and began to look for crabs hidden under the rocks. Unfortunately, the crabs were too flexible and missed several times.
She failed to catch the last one and was so tired that she was sweating profusely.
"Xia Mi?"
Fu Ming stood on the reef, tall and straight, looking down at Xia Mi who was squatting and resting below.
The male voice was so abrupt amid the sound of the waves that it frightened Xia Mi's heart, and she raised her eyes in response.
"What a coincidence, you are dancing again...looking at the sea?"
Fu Ming jumped off the rock and approached the person. He looked at the bucket in her hand, which was empty.
"What are you doing?"
That's because Xia Mi felt it was too heavy to carry, so the system recycled it early.
Xia Mi laughed dryly, "I heard that there will be a lot of seafood on the beach after high tide. I wanted to come and see what there is."
This shouldn't be considered stealing from the public, right? Xia Mi swallowed nervously.
