Chapter 78 A tacit understanding
Xia Mi hurried upstairs, thinking about Shen Zhihui's business matters. After thinking for a while, she could only wish him good luck.
Due to her status as a member of the military, Xia Mi could not intervene too much for fear of dragging down Huo Jingchen.
She still had to wait until it was completely safe before she dared to do this.
Xia Mi was thinking, completely lost his sleep, and stared blankly at the moldy ceiling.
-
Chasing the Wind Island.
After Huo Jingchen finished handling the matter and was going to pick up Xia Mi at the dock, he closed the door of the office.
Comrades from the communications company came to deliver the letter.
"Captain Huo, here is a letter from you. It's from Suzhou. It should be from my sister-in-law's house, right?"
"Suzhou?" Huo Jingchen's eyes fell on the envelope. The moment she saw that the sender was Sanqi, "I know."
Huo Jingchen put the letter in his pocket, stretched out his long legs, and thought about picking up the person.
When he arrived by bicycle, Xia Mi's boat had just docked.
On the noisy pier, you can see Xia Mi at a glance. She is wearing a red and white checkerboard coat, which is very eye-catching. Her trousers are modified black trousers, straight-leg style.
She is used to wearing fluffy side ponytails. When the sea breeze blows, her broken hair flutters in the wind. Her porcelain white skin becomes whiter against the red background.
"Sister-in-law, please support me."
After riding on several boats, Xia Mi was still afraid of the board on the boat. It was very narrow, 20 to 30 centimeters, and looked as thick as bricks, but it still couldn't withstand the frightening depth of the bottomless sea below.
When Xia Mi was about to reach out her hand, Huo Jingchen appeared and held her hand, "Don't worry, I will catch it for you if it falls."
There is only one person on this island who can speak such a tone that deserves a beating.
Xia Mi gave her hand to him with confidence.
The moment her toes touched the ground, her hanging heart dropped, and then she took out her hand and said, "Thank you, Captain Huo."
The soldiers on duty next to him saw this scene and looked at each other with subtle expressions, expecting Huo Jingchen to coax him.
"You have become so unfamiliar after being away for three days. Xia Mi, how can I trust you when you go away from home like this?"
Xia Mi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Isn't it good? I will go out alone and come back with a family of three to make the house lively."
"You dare?"
Huo Jingchen reached out and clasped her wrist, with a serious expression and cold eyes.
"I really believe it. Are you not confident in me or you?" Xia Mi's beautiful eyes were bent, teasing Huo Jingchen in public.
Huo Jingchen turned around and looked at the soldiers eating the melon secretly. A look that frightened them quickly turned their heads.
Xia Mi was still waiting for Huo Jingchen's answer, and a letter was handed over the next second, "What is this?"
She took the letter, looked at the sender, and read aloud, "This name is so familiar. Isn't it the one you mentioned to me last time? Why did you write again?"
"Who knows why he's crazy? Look, my eyes have been damaged by him once."
If Sanqi took the initiative to contact him, it was most likely about the Xia family, so he still wanted to give Xia Mi an idea.
Xia Mi waited until she got home before taking out the letter. She sat on the pony in the yard to bask in the sun and opened the letter. The handwriting on the letter was resolute and powerful.
The letter first said hello to Huo Jinchen, and then went straight to the topic, mentioning the matter of her niece, hoping that Huo Jingchen could send back a recent photo of Xia Mi, and then thanked her.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Huo Jingchen entered the door, she saw people frowning and looking at the letter in confusion.
"Have you finished delivering the things?" Xia Mi collected the letter. She brought some cloth and buttons to Zhao Shengmei and just asked Huo Jingchen to deliver them. Huo Jingchen nodded and said, "What's in the letter?"
"I asked you to send me a photo, why did he suddenly change his attitude?"
"What else could it be because some people didn't do things well and let something slip?"
Huo Jingchen smiled, her dark and affectionate eyes bent like ink, and then asked Xia Mi what he meant, "You make up your mind on this matter. What do you want to do?"
"Just pretend you haven't received the letter."
If it is true as Huo Jingchen said, then Xia Mi feels that there is no need to recognize this uncle because he can't tell what he values?
Blood? Then why did he recognize Xia Yaoyao as his niece in the first place?
Or feelings? But if it’s emotional, why are you writing now?
No matter which way it is, Xia Mi doesn't want to take the initiative to express her position, and it's not like she wants to recognize her uncle.
"Okay, I happen to be short of a fire starter at home, so I'll use this one tonight." Huo Jingchen approached, took the letter out of Xia Mi's hand, and raised the corner of her mouth with a nice smile.
Xia Mi didn't protest and just let him go.
"Don't cook tonight. Just now, my sister-in-law said that she had made steamed buns and braised noodles for us to eat in the evening." Huo Jingchen walked to the main room to tell the news.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Okay, I just happened to have something I forgot to give, so I won't go empty-handed later."
"What?"
Xia Mi followed him into the house and took out an arithmetic exercise book for all grades of elementary school from his bag.
"What do you think of this? Is it very useful for Qian Yue?"
Huo Jingchen looked at the familiar cover and recalled a year ago. Lin Qianyue and several other children ran around, got directly into the army, and even went to the dormitory area,
The sun was good that day, so most people took out their clothes and quilts to dry them. A few children looked at the impressiveness of the clothes and ran to wear them secretly before being discovered.
The clothes were big, but the children's bodies were small. After being discovered, they were running around, falling and rolling.
Among them, Huo Jingchen's clothes were on Lin Qianyue.
Afterwards, he went to the city for a meeting and bought a lot of exercise books for Lin Qianyue.
"Why don't you speak? Isn't that bad?"
Xia Mi was thinking about the scarcity of resources on the island, especially after-school exercises like this.
Huo Jingchen came to her senses and shook her head in denial, "No, I think you chose this gift very well."
-
In the evening, Lin Qianyue heard that Xia Mi had brought him a gift, and he was so excited that he kept surrounding her.
Until he saw Xia Mi take out the exercise book with his own eyes, his face was stiff. Even Jiang Shengmei's face was surprised for a moment, but it soon returned to its normal state.
Captain Jiang was the person who liked gifts the most and urged Lin Qianyue to accept them.
"Xiao Xia, your gift is so timely. Jingchen also gave me a copy of the same book the year before last, but I don't know where it was received some time ago. Now, there is a new one."
Lin Qianyue's face drooped. He had just thrown away the exercise book with great difficulty, so why did he come back again?
Seeing her nephew's expression, Jiang Shengmei couldn't laugh or cry, so she suppressed a smile to comfort him.
"Qian Yue, Teacher Xia is doing this for your own good. Besides, you can consolidate your memory by doing it again, which is a good thing."
"Yes, you don't know how valuable this thing is. It only costs one yuan or two a copy. Why don't you accept it quickly?"
Jiangling urged Lin Qianyue.
Lin Qianyue could only bite the bullet and accept the exercise book, and said against his will, "Thank you, Teacher Xia, Teacher Xia, you are so good to me."
"You are really not a family that doesn't have access to the same house. You can give such a small thing a big deal." Jiang Shengmei couldn't help laughing.
