Chapter 61: The Kingdom or the Beauty

The man who spoke scratched the back of his head in frustration and said in a frustrated tone, "Then what do you say we should do?"

Shen Zhihui looked up and was about to answer, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. When he looked over, Xia Mi had already turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't be in a daze. You said this method doesn't work, so come up with a solution. Now the fishing net is broken again. How can we report back?"

Shen Zhihui came back to his senses and tried to think of a solution. All he could think of was Xia Mi's resolute back, which gradually overlapped with what happened yesterday.

Is he that annoying? After what happened yesterday, he thought that he and Xia Mi were at a level where they could say hello to each other.

Why does it feel like Xia Mi hates him? - A few days passed, and there was no news about Huo Jingchen's return, as Huo Jinying said, and Xia Mi still went to work as usual.

Zhao Xiaoying found Xia Mi again that day to whisper something in secret.

"Teacher Xia, what do you think of Jiang Jie?"

Xia Mi paused while writing the lesson plan. "It looks okay. Are you going to develop it further?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaoying's shy look and so many days having passed, it's easy to guess.

"I want to marry him, but I don't know how to tell my family." Zhao Xiaoying felt depressed again, worrying about how to correct her parents' stereotype of yp.

"Will your parents still be dissatisfied?"

A top student from Tsinghua University, a talented talent that is hard to find even with a lantern, would anyone despise him?

Seeing Xia Mi's confusion, Zhao Xiaoying hesitated whether to explain to Xia Mi, but finally leaned in and whispered, "Jiang Jie and Shen Hui are YPs. When they just graduated, they were sent here for reform without thinking before speaking."

Xia Mi silently said yp in her heart. She was surprised at first, and then she found that the time didn't match. "Didn't the crackdown end in 1958? They don't look like they are in their thirties or forties."

Zhao Xiaoying naturally understood the doubts in Xia Mi's heart.

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. Jiang Jie said they offended someone, and the punishment wasn't that severe originally, but someone deliberately put a big accusation on them."

Zhao Xiaoying looked nervous when she spoke, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone."

Xia Mi nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xiaoying looked around and made sure no one was paying attention to her and Xia Mi, then continued, "Shen Zhihui's family wrote to say that they should be able to go back this year, so I want to take advantage of this year, after they take off their hats, to confirm my relationship with Jiang Jie and get married."

After listening to Zhao Xiaoying's innocent speech, Xia Mi asked.

"So after you get married, will you go to Jiang Jie's place to develop, or will you continue to stay on Wind Chasing Island?"

It is almost impossible to stay on Wind Chasing Island.

Zhao Xiaoying shook her head hesitantly, indicating that she had never mentioned this matter. "What can I do if I leave Zhuifeng Island? My parents are here."

"It will still be some time before they take off their hats. During this time, you two can discuss things."

Xia Mi naturally hoped that Zhao Xiaoying could go out and develop with her.

"What do you think if I let him stay on the island and ask the principal to arrange a job for him? Our school is short of teachers anyway, and Jiang Jie is educated, so he is more than qualified."

"Others have bright futures, why should they stay with you on this remote island? Just because of love?"

This question comes down to whether you want the country or the beauty.

Another point is that the school is already saturated with teachers. If we want to add more people, it will probably be difficult for Principal Wang to agree.

Xia Mi put down her pen and looked straight at Zhao Xiaoying with a pair of clear and lively eyes. "If it were you, would you be willing?"

Zhao Xiaoying fell silent for a moment and was reluctant to speak. She was also worried about this issue.

She didn't want to leave her parents and go so far away, but she couldn't give up Jiang Jie.

Since we talked about this topic in the morning, Zhao Xiaoying was in a bad mood until she got off work, looking like she had a lot on her mind.

Gao Zhilei smiled at Xia Mi, and then started to borrow a car.

"Sister Xia Mi, Liang Qisheng had a low-grade fever last night, and the medicine didn't get better. I'm worried that his brain might be damaged, so I want to borrow your car to take him to the hospital, okay?"

After he said that, Xia Mi noticed that Liang Qisheng did not come to work today.

"Okay, here are the car keys." Xia Mi took out the keys and handed them to Gao Zhilei, "You don't have to send them back to me, you can ride them back, Qian Yue and I can walk here tomorrow."

Upon hearing that Liang Qisheng had a cold, Gu Cancan took out her headscarf and said, "You two should keep warm. I'll lend my headscarf to Teacher Liang. It's very windy at night."

After saying this, Zhou Fang also took out her headscarf.

"Yes, the wind at night is the most torturous. Xiao Gao, you should also join us."

Gao Zhilei looked at the two colorful headscarves, and every cell in his body rejected them.

The teachers in the office couldn't help laughing and comforted Gao Zhilei, "Don't worry, as long as you ride fast, no one will notice whether you are a boy or a girl."

After Gu Cancan finished speaking, she placed the pink floral headscarf in Gao Zhilei's hand.

"Xiao Gao, when you get to the hospital entrance, remember to take it off."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Sister Can, I'm a grown man wearing this... Forget it, give it to Liang Qisheng. He's weak, so he should wear two more layers."

Gao Zhilei didn't want to even look at the headscarf, so he crumpled it into a ball and prepared to give it to Liang Qisheng.

The laughter in the office continued. Gao Zhilei rushed out of the door amid the laughter, and shyly returned to the dormitory to wake up the sleepy Liang Qisheng.

He looked at the headscarf in his hand, then at the man who was delirious with fever, and finally tied the headscarf randomly on Liang Qisheng's head. -Xia Mi walked home with Lin Qianyue and arrived home an hour later.

The weather was getting warmer, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on Xia Mi's forehead. She felt sticky all over. She wanted to take a shower as soon as she got home, but found that the water in the tub was empty.

During the time that Huo Jingchen was away, he went with Huo Jinying at first.

She had been saving the money by herself during this period, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to hold on until Huo Jingchen returned home.

After pouring the water from taking a shower on the vegetable garden in the yard, Xia Mi discovered that the vegetables she had planted before had already sprouted and were growing well, but the seedlings were shorter in places where the plants were a little more densely planted.

It looks like she needs to go to the mall to buy some fertilizer to spread in.

Xia Mi did what she said and bought some water-soluble fertilizers in the mall. She mixed them with water in the right proportion and watered them on the vegetable field.

I dare not water too much for fear of being burned to death.

After finishing everything, Xia Mi found the bucket and shoulder pole and prepared to fetch water.

Due to her lack of experience, she only carried two and a half buckets each time, and after three trips, her shoulders were already very sore.

Seeing that the tank was only a quarter full, Xia Mi spent five yuan to buy 60 liters of water from the space, unscrewed the lid, and poured it in bucket by bucket.

In the end, the bucket could still be recycled for one dollar, and she spent four dollars to fill a tank of water.

She closed the door and simply bought instant noodles and sausages from the mall, as well as a braised chicken leg to eat together.

I haven't eaten fast food for a long time, and eating it occasionally is simply a delicacy.

Xia Mi smelled the aroma of instant noodles and her appetite instantly increased, so she quickly took a bite.

"Xia Mi, are you home?"

Xia Mi had just finished eating instant noodles when Li Jiajia's voice was heard outside the door, followed by knocks on the door.

She quickly cleaned up and poured the instant noodle soup into the slop bucket, threw the box into the stove, wiped her mouth and made sure everything was fine before opening the door.

"What can I do for you?"
