Chapter 66: No oil in the belly
In addition to Xia Yaoyao's memories at the beginning of the novel, the second chapter directly introduces Xia Yaoyao and the Xia family to recognize each other. The author does not talk about Xia Yaoyao's life in the home of her adoptive father and adoptive mother.
"This time I went to Nancheng and met a comrade. I feel a bit like the uncle you mentioned last time. His surname is Sang."
When parting with her eldest brother, Huo Jingchen asked him where Sanqi was coming.
When he left Nancheng, he wrote a letter and sent it to Sanqi. It probably meant asking him where his hometown was and asking him to help find out Xia Yaoyao's previous life experience.
These days, Huo Jingchen is waiting for Sanqi's reply.
After Xia Mi finished pulling the weeds, he carefully recalled the content of the novel. It seemed that he had never mentioned a character named Sanqi.
"It shouldn't be such a coincidence, and both my parents have passed away. I am the only child of my parents, and my biological father has no relatives."
Huo Jingchen comforted her, "It's been so long, do you want to go back and have a look?"
Xia Mi didn't want to in her heart, but that was her thought. Taking on the role of the original owner, she changed her mind, "I want to go back and visit when I have a chance, and go visit the tomb."
Whether that is true or not, we will know as long as we wait for Sanchi to find out.
Seeing that she was not very interested, Huo Jingchen changed the topic to another topic.
-
Suzhou.
Xia Yaoyao returned home under the moonlight, her face full of frustration.
"Yao Yao, haven't you been on day shift recently? Why do you come back so late every day?" Li Yinshuang was worried. She had been waiting for Xia Yaoyao at the entrance of the alley every day recently.
Seeing that her daughter was disappointed, Li Yinshuang took the initiative to ask, "Are you looking for Sang Qi again?"
Xia Yaoyao silently acquiesced and walked into the room, "I've been gone for half a month, why hasn't Secretary Sang come back?"
"Eat first." Li Yinshuang went to the kitchen and brought out the vegetable porridge that was hot on the pot, along with a plate of green vegetables. "We'll talk after eating."
Xia Yaoyao felt uncomfortable in her stomach when she looked at the green vegetables and vegetable porridge.
"Mom, why is it food again? Didn't I just get paid?"
After eating pickles, green vegetables and porridge for a month, there was no trace of meat in her stomach. She had been craving for meat recently.
I thought I could eat some meat with my salary, but it turned out to be vegetables.
She was irritable when she didn't see Sanqi. When she came back and saw that the vegetable porridge she had vomited was brought to the table again, Xia Yaoyao's face turned green.
Li Yinshuang looked embarrassed, "Your dad used it to help the factory exchange it for a refrigerator ticket."
"What?" Xia Yaoyao put down her spoon and looked at Li Yinshuang in shock, "What did dad give in exchange for our salary?"
Li Yinshuang looked away, not daring to look directly at the person opposite, and focused on excusing her husband.
"Yao Yao, your dad is doing it for the good of our family. We have many friends and many paths. Your dad has done nothing wrong."
"But our family doesn't need to divide the house. Does dad want to commend advanced workers?"
Xia Yaoyao felt deeply powerless.
"Mom, didn't I tell you that I was going to find Sanqi?"
"Sangqi is not that easy to get along with. If anyone hears about our family's situation, let alone his niece, even if you are his niece, you will have to distance yourself from him!"
Li Yinshuang was also in a dilemma, "And this doesn't conflict with you going to him. Your dad will have an extra escape route after doing this."
"..." Xia Yaoyao could not make any other sound except sighing.
She looked at the food on the table and had no appetite, so she quickly made a decision, "I will keep my salary myself from now on."
"This... Yaoyao, don't be angry with your dad. He is not like this every time. Your dad's decision is always correct."
Xia Yaoyao's expression was serious, she lost her usual cuteness and her eyes were serious.
"Mom, if you don't want me to interfere with Dad's decision, then I hope you won't interfere with mine either. Dad and I both want to make our family better."
Xia Yaoyao has always come to the Xia family and almost never misses her ideas.
After Li Yinshuang came to her senses, she nodded and agreed to Xia Yaoyao. "I still have some living expenses here. If you really don't want to eat, go to a restaurant and have a bowl of noodles." Li Yinshuang said and went to dig through the cookie box.
Xia Yaoyao stopped her, "No, I'll just eat something and go to bed."
I can only eat vegetable porridge as soon as my salary is paid, and there will definitely not be much left over for living expenses.
"By the way, brother, I haven't seen him in a month." Xia Yaoyao picked up the small bowl as if resigned.
"Your brother is fine. I heard that he has been having sex with an intern in the workshop recently, so he doesn't want to run back and forth. He has been living in the dormitory. If you miss him, I will ask him to go home next time."
"No need."
She knew her eldest brother's lover. Although he was a bit of a market person, it was often this kind of person who could live a good life.
The eldest brother also relied on his sister-in-law's instigation to start a home appliance repair business early on, and his life was pretty good.
In her previous life, she only knew about the Xia family through her sister-in-law.
At that time, the Xia family had returned to its former glory, and my sister-in-law came to the factory to show off.
Li Yinshuang looked at her daughter distressedly.

Xia Yaoyao's compromise made Li Yinshuang feel ashamed, "Yaoyao, just wait, Mom will fry an egg for you."
Xia Yaoyao didn't refuse. She really wouldn't be able to hold on if she didn't eat something oily.
"Mom, let me help you light the fire."
Xia Yaoyao wanted to eat fried eggs as soon as possible.
Heat the pot and pour the oil. The moment the eggs are placed in the pot, they sizzle and the aroma is soon stimulated.
Xia Yaoyao, who had been depressed for a day, finally felt relieved at this moment.

Since Zhao Xiaoying borrowed the car, she has not shown any other emotions, and her whole person has been the same as before.
Until half a month later, she suddenly proposed to resign and leave Zhuifeng Island.
After school, everyone was ready to leave. When Principal Wang came to the office to announce the news, everyone packing their things was stunned, and then there was an uproar.
Among them, Zhou Fang and Gu Cancan were the most excited. After learning that she was going to get married and go to Haicheng to develop, their reluctance suddenly turned into heartfelt blessings.
"Tomorrow I will buy groceries and treat everyone to dinner. We will eat at school." Zhao Xiaoying didn't even have time to wipe her tears.
"Teacher Xia, you must come this time."
Xia Mi agreed, "Okay, I have a day off tomorrow, so I'll go shopping with you."
"Then I'll be in charge of cooking."
"I light the fire."
"I wash the dishes!"
Xia Mi just started, and everyone has already clearly divided the work.
Principal Wang was helpless, "You guys have done all the work, what should I do? That's good, I'll pay for it."
"Principal, you have taken good care of us these years, so you are responsible for eating."
Zhao Xiaoying's proposal was unanimously approved, and they all advised Principal Wang to just be responsible for eating.
"Teacher Xia, I want to go to your beach tomorrow to see if there is anything I can pick up."
"Okay, then I will go directly to the small beach tomorrow. You will wait for me there. I will also bring something from home."
Xia Mi considered that there had been no high tide or typhoon recently, so there shouldn't be much to eat, so he could only knock oysters.
If you order more, you can make oyster cakes and braised scallops, which are enough for two dishes, and they are both meat dishes.
"Teacher Xia, can you come and see me off when I leave?" Zhao Xiaoying suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"My home is far from the dock. My mother cut her foot while working at sea and cannot walk far. My father has to go to work. I want someone to see me off."
