"Aunt Jiang, I am nineteen years old. I was already married and had children before. Besides, I can think about things independently. I am not a child anymore!"
Li Jiajia chased Xia Mi for an answer, "He really came to find you?"
There is no smoke without fire, and Xia Mi wondered how Li Jiajia knew.
"Why do you suddenly want to ask me this?"
"Yiming admitted what you said yesterday. I don't know why. Somehow, I was a little suspicious of him and you. I asked Aunt Lanhua, and Aunt Lanhua said that he came to see you twice."
Li Jiajia felt ashamed when she thought about what Aunt Lanhua said, and it was difficult to say what she said next.
"One time it was Camp Commander Huo who scolded him away, and the other time it was you who scolded him away... Are these both true?"
Sure enough, once the seeds of suspicion are planted, trust will collapse.
Xia Mi's eyes changed when she looked at Li Jiajia, "Aunt Lanhua and you have no holiday. You don't believe what she says. Will you believe what I say?"
The answer was obvious. Li Jiajia's face was ugly, her eyes were blank, and she suddenly lost her life.
Xia Mi covered the last piece of soil, stood up and leaned the hoe against the wall.
She passed by Li Jiajia, who was stunned, and reminded her, "Sister-in-law is here to testify for me. Don't think about going out to smear me and then spread rumors about me."
She returned to the house, and Li Jiajia, who was standing in the yard, suddenly burst into tears.
Xia Mi drank water calmly, sat down to rest, and rubbed his sore waist.
Jiang Shengmei glanced at Li Jiajia who was crying in the yard. Instead of feeling distressed, she even laughed helplessly.
"Look at her. She just said that she is not a child. What sensible adult would wail and howl in someone else's yard at the top of her lungs?"
Xia Mi smiled, but felt a little better about Li Jiajia.
"Break up! I want to break up with Yan Yiming!" Li Jiajia vented her grievances by yelling.
She covered her mouth and cried, then left quickly.
Jiang Shengmei sighed, shook her head and sighed, "This Jiajia is not young anymore. When will she grow up?"
After Jiang Shengmei left, Xia Mi opened the letter and sat on the small bench by the door to read the letter.
The letter started by asking Xia Mi if he had been to the island, and then began to blame Xia Mi for taking away too many clothes and jewelry, causing Xia Yaoyao to have nothing to wear.
Then she started playing the emotional card again, reminding her not to forget the kindness of raising her over the years.
The letter from Xia Jinkuo, the adoptive father, was very short. Throughout the letter, he was teaching Xia Mi not to forget his roots and to think about the Xia family. At the end, he also added a sentence that he would visit her next month.
Strangely, the Xia family in the novel never took the initiative to contact her after the original owner got married. Why did they suddenly mention that they wanted to see her this time?
"What are you thinking about so focused on?"
Huo Jingchen walked in and saw Xia Mi sitting at the door in a daze.
"My adoptive father wrote to say that my adoptive mother and sister were coming to visit me."
When she was in a daze, Xia Mi had already thought of a countermeasure. If she just came to take a look, she would welcome him. If he came to cause trouble, she would definitely not be lenient.
Cut off the relationship with the Xia family as soon as possible and take back the initiative.
She thought about the issue of household registration again, "Has my household registration been transferred here?"
Huo Jingchen nodded, "Move and stay with me. Do you want them to come?"
Naturally, Xia Mi didn't want to. The original character was a vicious female supporting character who did many evil things. Her past experiences are undeniable.
She finally got married on Zhui Feng Island and had a new start.
Coming to the Xia family is definitely not just a visit. When old things are brought up again, it will matter whether she can live a peaceful life.
"I can't help it if I don't want to. I can't tie people's hands and feet to prevent them from coming. When soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth."
Huo Jingchen respects her choice and wonders about Xia Mi's biological parents.
"Have you never thought about going to find your biological parents?"
He had read Xia Mi's file and found that her registered residence had actually been moved to a textile factory when she left home. He was worried that she would be hurt after hearing this, so he didn't mention it.
"They are all dead. There seems to be one uncle left in the family, but he went to the imperial capital many years ago and there is no news anymore." Xia Mi had a headache when he mentioned Xia's family, so he simply changed the subject, "It's good to eat tomatoes and eggs with noodles tonight. I bought tomatoes and they gave me a lot of eggs last time.”
"Okay, I'll go fetch the water first. You can prepare it now and light the fire when I come back."
Huo Jingchen took off her coat, found a pole and bucket and went out. Only halfway there she met Li Weimin who came to carry water.
"It's strange, instructor, why are you here to carry water?"
Huo Jingchen walked in front.
Li Weimin followed behind with a dark face, full of resentment, "You still have the nerve to say, aren't women doing all the housework? You are responsible for clearing land, paving roads and building toilets. Forget all these, why are you doing this? Did you choose it too?”
"It's better now. The women in the entire family home are resentful. Your sisters-in-law are comparing us with you, saying that our lives are hard to live by, and that your Xia Mi is living the life of a fairy."
"She is not a fairy, her name is the name of Amitabha."
Li Weimin really couldn't hold it back, "...madman."
"By the way, those thieves you went to the city to catch yesterday, were they really the pirates from our neighborhood?"
The smile and love in Huo Jingchen's eyes disappeared, and he became serious when he mentioned work.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Well, they are five of the twenty-odd pirates who escaped last time. This time we caught someone by mistake. Maybe we can also catch the people hiding behind."
"I thought this group of people had washed their hands of themselves after disappearing for two years, but it turns out that dogs can't change their ways of eating shit, and doing something serious with hands and feet will simply cost them their lives."
Li Weimin said, silently speeding up his pace, trying to pass in front of Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen caught the little thoughts of the person behind him and quickened his pace. The two of them were still talking nicely at first, but the conversation turned into a footrace.
When he arrived at the well entrance, Li Weimin wanted to rip off his face and scold Huo Jingchen for not respecting the elderly and caring for the young, when he saw a familiar figure from behind.
Captain Jiang stood by the well, holding a rope and lowering his head to pay attention to the well. The bucket floated on the water and could not sink.
He sighed irritably and lifted the empty bucket deftly.
Li Weimin looked at the person in astonishment, "Lao Jiang?"
When Jiang Weidong heard the sound, his eyes locked on Huo Jingchen next to him, as if he had found an outlet.
"You brat, you still dare to come, look at the good deeds you've done!"
Huo Jingchen walked to Jiang Weidong with a smile and said, "Hello, Captain Jiang."
"Thanks to you, I'm not doing well at all!" Jiang Weidong glared at Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen noticed that only one of Jiang Weidong's two buckets was full. Looking at him, he was already sweating profusely. It looked like he had been beating for a long time.
"Lao Li, why are you here? Didn't your wife carry water back in the morning?"
Li Weimin's face turned darker.
"It's not this brat's fault. Chunhua only picked up half a tank. How come he works in the same class, so how come Captain Huo can fetch water for his family every day?"
As he spoke, the second half of the sentence imitated the tone of his lover's words.
Huo Jingchen took the keg and said, "It's all wrong for my wife to have a headache these days."
"Watch it, I'm only going to demonstrate this once." As he said that, he threw the small bucket down, and then with a sharp shake, the bucket tilted and gradually fell into the well water.
There were three large men surrounding a small well.
"No matter how big or small, this happened because of you. Don't you love carrying water? You can carry it back for me."
Li Weimin complained, but did not dare to blink for fear of missing any skills.
"That's it, what did you say to others?" Captain Jiang was equally serious and still didn't let go of Huo Jingchen.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. As time goes on, leaders and instructors should complain less and watch more and learn more."
The two of them looked at Huo Jingchen with resentment in their eyes.
Jiang Weidong closed his eyes in pain and raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle, "I want both face and love."
Li Weimin blew out a smoke ring and said melancholy: "I miss the days when someone was not married, when it was dark and there was no need to go out to fetch water."
