Chapter 20 Talking nonsense when you get old

Xia Mi saw Jiang Shengmei's subtle expression, her cheeks turned red, and she waved her hand to deny, "Don't bother me, don't bother me."

Jiang Shengmei took the measurements, and Xia Mi helped cut the cloth. The two had a clear division of labor.

The next day, Xia Mi and Jiang Shengmei were busy greeting people who came to visit in the morning.

Xia Mi saw off the last group of people in the morning and returned to the house to fix threads.

Even the duo who had a fight with her last time came today.

Jiang Shengmei watched Xia Mi go out in the room, and when others came back, she answered Xia Mi's doubts, "Are you curious why everyone treats you as if you are a different person?"

Someone guessed Xia Mi's thoughts. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Captain Fu has devoted twenty years to Zhui Feng Island. Both his family members and nearby residents think well of him. Now that you have saved his only son, everyone also thinks of you well."

Mentioning the past, Jiang Shengmei's eyes gradually became moist as she spoke.

Then, she wiped her eyes and avoided the topic, "It's almost time as we talk, I have to go back and make lunch."

Xia Mi sent people out and then turned back.

Huo Jingchen came back with food this morning and asked her not to cook today and he would bring it back at noon.

Xia Mil enjoys his leisure time. Today's kitchen utensils are inconvenient and cooking is a hassle. If he has this time, he might as well go to the beach to make money.

Knock knock knock——

Xia Mi had just put away her clothes when someone knocked on the door. She looked at the door through the window.

It was Fu Ming. He stood cautiously at the door and looked into the yard cautiously.

"Why are you here? Come and sit first." Xia Mi went out to greet Fu Ming.

Fu Ming quickly shook his head and took out the hand behind his back. He was holding a canned fruit and a small envelope wrapped in red paper.

The young man lowered his head and stretched out his hand in embarrassment, "Sister Xia Mi, I heard that you are getting married tomorrow. This is my little wish."

In the 1970s, no money was given as a wedding gift, but Fu Ming felt that just giving a can was a bit too light. After thinking about it, he found a red envelope wrapped in red paper at home worth one yuan.

Xia Mi took the can and said, "This is good. We will eat at the army canteen at twelve o'clock tomorrow. Remember to come, otherwise I can't accept this."

Fu Ming raised his head, his eyes panicked, and handed the money forward again.

"I have to pack my things at home tomorrow and go to Qingcheng the day after tomorrow. I will study in Qingcheng from now on and won't be back in the short term."

Fu Ming suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.

"Sister Xia Mi, I wish you and Brother Huo a happy wedding. If possible, I would like to please convey a message to him."

The two of them really have a story.

"You said."

"I want to apologize to Brother Huo. I don't blame him for my father's death. I hope he can forgive me for those stupid words I said at the time. I was too impulsive at the time."

Fu Ming said, lowering his head guiltily, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Through these words, Xia Mi vaguely guessed that Captain Fu's sacrifice was related to Huo Jingchen.

In this kind of thing, the middleman is the most difficult, and the effect is minimal.

Xia Mi sincerely suggested, "Although I don't know what happened between you, but I can't say a thousand words about this matter as good as one from your own mouth. If you really want to sincerely resolve it, you should talk to him in person." Say.”

Huo Jingchen never took the initiative to mention anything about Captain Fu and Fu Ming to her.

When she mentioned it, she was apologizing for others. Xia Mi was worried that Huo Jingchen would think that she was meddling in other people's business.

Furthermore, she didn't know how serious Fu Ming's words were, but Xia Mi knew that impulsive words were the most hurtful.

She had no reason to accept this apology for Huo Jingchen.

Fu Ming looked at Xia Mi quietly and realized that he was being selfish.

Seeing that Fu Ming was relaxed, Xia Mi took advantage of the victory and persuaded you again, "It won't take you long to have a meal tomorrow. I don't know when you will come back next time. Say hello to everyone before leaving."

Fu Ming's heart tugged, and when he saw Xia Mi's affirmative eyes, he bravely stepped over the hurdle in his heart and agreed hesitantly. "Okay..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dinner signal rang.

Fu Ming reflexively turned to look in the direction of the troops and said goodbye hastily, "I, I'm going back to eat first, see you again, Sister Xia Mi."

"Well, come early tomorrow, and I'll ask Brother Huo to give you some time alone."

The young man almost missed the step with his foot, and his body tilted to the side. He quickly stabilized his body.

"Okay, if you don't have enough time, I won't force you." Fu Ming's voice became smaller and smaller as he left.

The corners of Xia Mi's mouth raised, with a smile on his face and eyes, he looked at Fu Ming's back and chuckled.

"Are you always like this when no one is around?"

A pair of narrow eyes fell on Xia Mi, with dark pupils filled with concern.

Xia Mi's smile disappeared and she looked at Huo Jingchen, who was holding a lunch box in his hand. His eyes looked suspicious and retarded.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

She put her fist to her lips and coughed twice to relieve her embarrassment.

"No, Fu Ming was here just now, and I invited him to have our wedding banquet tomorrow."

"You have a lot of connections."

Huo Jingchen turned around and walked into the room. In the end, she was still curious, "Did he agree?"

"Do you care whether he comes or not?"

It was Huo Jingchen who always teased her. Seeing him like this for the first time, Xia Mi wanted to tease him.

She walked behind, "If you promise not to tease me again, how about I tell you his answer?"

Huo Jingchen stopped, and Xia Mi braked suddenly and almost hit his back.

Unexpectedly, the next second the man turned around, stretched out his hands to take her into his arms, and placed his palms close to her waist, and a faint fragrance hit her nostrils.

"Why should I worry about whether a brat will come when I marry you?"

The man's deep voice was close to his ears. Xia Mi's heartbeat accelerated and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Xia Mi's face was hot and she stretched out her hand to push him. She was so nervous that she stuttered, "You, let me go first."

Huo Jingchen lowered his eyes and stared at him with anger in his clear and vivid water eyes. The woman's facial features were small and delicate, and her fair skin was slightly pink.

Xia Mi raised his hand and pinched Huo Jingchen's waist hard, "Let him go or not?"

"With such force, are you not afraid of ending your future happiness with your own hands?"

Huo Jingchen let go, curved the corners of her lips, and smiled with a profound meaning, deliberately emphasizing the word happiness.

Xia Mi glared at the man again and retorted, "Aunts say tall people are the ones with peppers hanging from big trees."

The man was stunned.

Xia Mi took the opportunity and hurried back to the house, worried that Huo Jingchen would not let her go after she reacted.

Huo Jingchen looked stunned and suddenly came to his senses.

Xia Mi stepped into the main room, and the sound of Huo Jingchen's teeth gnashing came from behind.

"Xia Mi, who told you this?"

He had only been away for a day, how could this little white rabbit be dyed?

Xia Mi hid back in the house and closed the door to prevent anyone from entering. She leaned against the door and responded, "What the old man over there said is correct."

She thought, Huo Jingchen couldn't be as knowledgeable as the old man?

Huo Jingchen laughed angrily and looked at the door with deep eyes, "I'm going to die if I don't keep my words. When I get old, I'll still talk nonsense."

"When you go out to eat, no one will know better than you whether it's hot pepper or not. Sooner or later it will happen."

Xia Mi's face grew hotter and hotter as she listened, feeling regretful in her heart. She shouldn't have said this, she was just shooting herself in the foot!
