Chapter 215 Pretty as a Doll

After hearing what Xia Mi said, Zhao Min felt that it made some sense.

She has so many things, if they were lost or stolen, it would be a waste of time.

Zhao Min looked at the packed luggage in a dilemma, "Listen to Xiao Mi."

When everyone thought Zhao Min was going to give up, she made a decision that shocked everyone.

"Since mailing it might be stolen..." Zhao Min put her hands on her hips, exhausted. "Old Huo, lend me Xiao Du for two days and have him take me to the island."

The living room fell silent.

"Isn't this a bit too extravagant?" Huo Yanshan asked his lover under great pressure.

"Huo Yanshan, what do you mean by this? Giving it to me is extravagant and wasteful. You can just give it to your son and daughter-in-law. I know that I, an outsider, cannot integrate into your Huo family."

Zhao Min sat on the sofa in a huff and started throwing a tantrum.

Huo Yanshan began to coax his wife, "Look at you, you are saying two different things to each other, and I didn't say I didn't agree."

"If Xiao Du isn't by my side, it's easy for people with ulterior motives to speculate and make a big fuss about it. By then, I'll be too busy to handle, and you'll be too distressed to eat. Isn't this just me worrying about your health?"

Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen looked at each other, "..."

"You guys discuss it, Xiao Mi and I will go upstairs."

Huo Jingchen couldn't bear to see his parents being so affectionate, so he took Xia Mi upstairs.

Seeing Zhao Min packing her luggage, Xia Mi went upstairs to pack her luggage as well, thinking of Xia Jing saying that she was going to Suzhou.

"I don't know if my aunt has gone to Suzhou."

Huo Jingchen put Xia Mi's folded clothes into the bag and said, "You'll know when we get back to the island. As we said before, we've already arrived in Suzhou."

"Did you tell Sanchi about your visit to the imperial capital?"

Since Sangqi's last visit, Xia Mi's relationship with him has eased a lot, and before the New Year, Sangqi also sent a telegram to greet him.

"No, there's nothing to say. He's a leader and he's busy during the New Year."

Xia Mi took a look at the luggage bag. It was already full before half of the clothes were put in.

"Did you buy so many things here?" Xia Mi bent down and rummaged through the bag. There were only two new clothes, but there were a lot of newly bought fabrics.

"It seems the bag I brought isn't big enough."

Huo Jingchen also noticed this problem, "I'll ask Mom to get another one. She has a lot of suitcases, so she'll just take a suitcase."

"Okay, try to persuade Mom to bring less stuff. There are plenty of supplies on the island."

After saying that, Xia Mi called out to Huo Jingchen again, "Speak more kindly, Mom also has good intentions."

"Yeah." Huo Jingchen went downstairs to find Zhao Min.

Xia Mi thought that if her mother-in-law wanted to go with her, she would not be able to go to Qingdao at will in the future, and she would have to give up riding her bike to work.

Fortunately, her body can still handle the seven kilometers a day.

While Huo Jingchen was going downstairs, Xia Mi remembered that she hadn't visited the fish in the space sea for a long time, and the last batch should be able to be sold.

She flashed into the space. After not seeing her for a while, the total weight of fish in the sea had more than doubled, and the price was also twice as high as before.

Xia Mi sold the fish with one click, and the fish in the sea were completely cleared out.

It is not visible in the deep sea area, but it is very obvious in the fresh water area. The fish are swimming happily in it one second, and then they all disappear in the next second.

There was an inexplicable sense of terror.

This time, Xia Mi was not in a hurry to buy fish fry. As long as there was sea area, she could make money anytime she wanted.

Just as she was contemplating what to do next, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs outside.

As soon as Xia Mi left the sea and came out of the space, Huo Jingchen arrived.

Seeing the suitcase in his hand, it didn't look like the one in the living room just now. "Is it new?"

The material used for the suitcase looked much better than the previous two, and Xia Mi was worried that it might be her mother-in-law's valuables.

"She said the box was gone and asked us to use this."

“This doesn’t look cheap.”

Huo Jingchen nodded and asked her, "What's cheap in my mom's downstairs?"

"That's what you said." Xia Mi agreed.

"Mom came back with us on the train, and our belongings were reduced to one suitcase and one bag."

With three people, two suitcases and two luggage bags, it would be hard not to be targeted by thieves. It is even harder to target people when there are too many things.

"Mom and I will be in charge of the luggage. You keep an eye on the suitcases. There are many thieves on the train when we return to the city for the New Year."

"Don't worry, leave the things to me."

Xia Mi didn’t think so. She must never underestimate the thief’s methods.

When Huo's relatives learned that they would be returning tomorrow, they made an appointment to gather at Huo's house again tonight.

There is a custom here that pregnancy cannot be announced to others before it is more than one month old. Xia Mi went to Huo Jinying Hospital for a check-up and found out that it would be one month in two days.

Xia Mi tried to avoid toasts at the dinner table whenever possible.

Zhu Ziyao came to Xia Mi and asked, "Aunt, why don't you drink? My parents and grandparents all drink, but you, an adult, don't."

Who would have thought that such a young child would observe so carefully.

"Because I don't like drinking." Xia Mi answered her kindly.

Fortunately, Zhu Ziyao didn't ask any further questions. "If you don't want to, you don't have to do it. Then, Dad, can I not learn piano anymore?"

"No, this is your own request, and Mom has already paid for a year's tuition because of your decision. You can't let Mom lose so much money because of a little difficulty."

The brother-in-law corrected Zhu Ziyao immediately.

"Don't you have money, Dad? Can't you give the money to Mom?"

My brother-in-law held his forehead helplessly, and the smile on his face was inexplicably a little bitter. "It's because Dad gave Mom his money, and the money for your piano lessons also came from me. Dad doesn't want you to waste money."

"Okay then." Zhu Ziyao curled her lips, left the dinner table, ran to the sofa and sat down to watch a movie with her other cousins.

Xia Mi looked at Zhu Ziyao, who looked like a princess, and felt a liking for her.

My brother-in-law's grandfather is Italian. Both my brother-in-law and Zhu Ziyao have obvious traces of mixed blood. Both father and daughter have deep eye sockets and obvious double eyelid folds.

Xia Mi glanced at the people who were still drinking, said hello and left the table.

When people see a beautiful child, they can't help but get closer, especially when the beautiful child is very sensible and well-behaved.

Zhu Yaozi sat alone on the sofa, watching TV quietly, in stark contrast to the boys arguing loudly next to her.

"Aunt?"

Zhu Yaozi jumped off the sofa and said, "Do you want to sit? I'll give it to you."

"I don't want to sit. I have something to give you. Yaoyao, can you come upstairs with me?"

Xia Mi looked at the noisy boys and thought that she should just give them a red envelope.

These boys were all five or six years old, an age that even dogs would find offensive. Xia Mi really couldn't stand their noise.

When Zhu Ziyao heard there was a gift to be received, she blinked and agreed, "Okay, thank you, auntie."

Xia Mi took the child's hand and went upstairs.

She had seen a bracelet in the mall before, a sterling silver bracelet inlaid with diamonds, and the size was adjustable.

Xia Mi thought it was very suitable for Zhu Ziyao and planned to go to the space to buy it and give it to her.
