Chapter 241 Leaving from Zhuifeng Primary School

The waiting time is always long. Until Xia Mi was about to leave Zhuifeng Primary School, there was no progress in the case.

As the bell rang outside.

Xia Mi patted the chalk dust on her hands and called out, "get out of class dismissed."

The students all stood up and bowed to Xia Mi, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher. Goodbye, teacher."

Xia Mi folded the textbooks together, thinking that the children would run away as soon as the get out of class was over, just like they did before.

Today was unusual. No one left the classroom, but gathered around the podium.

"Teacher Xia, are you really not going to teach us anymore?"

"Teacher Xia, will you come back to see us in the future?"

"Teacher Xia, we can't bear to let you go. Can you please not leave?"

There were all kinds of things they said, all trying to persuade Xia Mi to stay or visit later.

Xia Mi looked at the little kids in front of her. Although she had only known them for a year, she had invested a lot of affection and energy in them.

They also witnessed their own growth.

Seeing the children crying because of reluctance to leave, Xia Mi was infected by the atmosphere and her eyes also became red.

She choked up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come to see you in the future. Teacher Xia's home is on Zhuifeng Island. I won't lie to you."

Xia Mi comforted the children, took out paper from her pocket and wiped the tears of those who were crying loudly.

The children's emotions finally calmed down when it was almost time for class.

Xia Mi returned to the office with red eyes.

Qiao Jing was correcting homework when he looked up and saw Xia Mi's red eyes, like a rabbit's.

"Teacher Xia, are you crying?"

Xia Mi didn't deny it. Her voice was slightly nasal. She asked, "Is it obvious?"

"Obviously, this is the first time I see you like this." Qiao Jing was a little surprised. After the surprise, he put himself in Xia Mi's perspective and it was certain that he shed tears.

Today's children are so good at expressing their emotions that no one can handle them.

If you are an adult, no matter how reluctant you are, it will all turn into one sentence.

"I really can't bear to leave you." Qiao Jing pouted, put down the pen and looked at Xia Mi.

Xia Mi is one of the best colleagues she has ever met. She will agree to anything as long as it is not too much work, she is not calculating, has a very calm personality, and will actively help when she encounters something she doesn't know how to do.

She doesn't like to speak ill of others and gets along well with everyone. No one talks about seniority with her just because she is an elder.

Xia Mi sat down in her seat and said, "I can't bear to leave you either."

It’s true that I’m reluctant to leave, and it’s also true that I have to leave.

"Why would you resign if you're reluctant? Are you going back to take care of your pregnancy?"

Xia Mi nodded hesitantly, "I guess so."

Qiao Jing didn't ask any more questions, but he was confused. Xia Mi seemed to be in good health, so why did she need to resign and go back to take care of the pregnancy?

After class in the afternoon, Xia Mi went home from get off work as usual.

In the past few days, she moved all the things she left at the office back home bit by bit.

Xia Mi is planning to move to the city the day after tomorrow, and she has already booked a house for eight yuan a month. She has rented it for half a year, and the money has already been transferred.

According to Shen Zhihui, Li Meng's family has already helped clean the house and we can move in at any time.

Huo Jingchen took a special day off to accompany her the day after tomorrow.

Xia Mi was still some distance away from home. She vaguely heard someone talking inside the house. She looked up and saw smoke coming out of the chimney. She quickened her pace.

When she opened the door, she found Jiang Shengmei, Xia Jing, Fan Chunhua, and Li Jiajia were all in her yard.

Li Jiajia was washing vegetables at the sink. When she saw Xia Mi come home, she looked surprised.

"How about it, are you surprised to see me?"

"Xiao Mi is back. Come in and sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon." Xia Jing heard Li Jiajia talking and guessed that Xia Mi was back, so she poked her head out of the kitchen.

Xia Mi went into the house to put her bag down, and naturally she didn't dare to sit down.

Suddenly a group of snail girls appeared in my house. I was flattered, but I also really wanted to find out what happened.

"Sister-in-law, are you back today?" Xia Mi walked into the kitchen and found that four dishes had already been prepared on the stove.

At this time, pork liver was being stir-fried in the pot, and something was stewing in the small pot next to it.

Jiang Shengmei replied to Xia Mi, "Yes, when I got off the boat today, I ran into your aunt who was sending Teacher He to the boat. She said that today is your birthday, so we decided to celebrate your birthday."

So that's how it is, Xia Mi suddenly understood.

Today is April 21st, which is indeed the original owner’s birthday, but she never paid attention to it.

Xia Jing was making a fire. "Have you forgotten everything?"

"Well, I was busy and forgot." Xia Mi smiled. She was touched to see so many people helping her celebrate her birthday.

Fan Chunhua served the stir-fried pork liver with garlic sprouts. "There are two more dishes. Today is not just for your birthday."

"I heard from Jiajia that you're going to live in the city soon. We'll have less time to see each other in the next year, so we should get together while we can."

Li Jiajia brought the dishes into the kitchen and hurriedly explained, "It's not my fault. You didn't tell me before, so you can't tell anyone else."

"I didn't mean to blame you. I was going to tell everyone about this, but I didn't expect you to know it in advance."

In the family compound, she did not take the initiative to get to know the other sisters-in-law. The ones she was most familiar with were Jiang Shengmei and Fan Chunhua.

Xia Mi couldn't let her leave without saying a word.

"Xia Mi, have you found a house?" Jiang Shengmei asked her where she found the house without asking the reason.

Xia Mi helped wash the dishes. "I've found one. It's in the food factory's staff quarters. There's a friend I know who lives there. His neighbor got a leave of absence and moved to Shenzhen."

Jiang Shengmei and Fan Chunhua were both curious. How could Xia Mi, who came from Suzhou alone, know someone from Qingcheng?

Xia Mi didn't intend to hide it. "I met someone on the island before. He went back to Haicheng and then came back. Now he is developing in Qingcheng."

As soon as she heard this, Jiang Shengmei knew who it was.

She stopped what she was doing and said in a surprised tone, "You know Shen Zhihui?!"

The other three people didn't know Shen Zhihui, and they looked at the two of them, waiting for an answer.

Xia Mi nodded and said, "We met on the island before, but I didn't expect him to return to Qingcheng to develop."

"He's quite a big shot now, the first millionaire in Qingcheng."

Chen Zhihui and Xia Jing didn't know him, but when it came to the first person with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan in Qingcheng, everyone knew him.

"Xia Mi, do you know anyone with a millionaire?"

"Sister-in-law, when did you meet this millionaire? Why didn't you tell me?"

Fan Chunhua and Li Jiajia are worthy of being mother and daughter, each asking one question.

At that time, Shen Zhihui's business was just starting to pick up, and his superiors asked people to interview him, and he was featured in newspapers several times.

As the reputation of the "Ten Thousand Yuan Household" spread, more and more people began to go into the industry. It can be said that the willingness of some people in Qingcheng to go into the industry was indirectly related to Shen Zhihui.

Almost everyone in Qingcheng who subscribes to a newspaper knows the name of a "ten thousand yuan household." They may not remember Shen Zhihui's name, but they can remember his title.

Li Jiajia grabbed Xia Mi's hand, her eyes full of curiosity about the millionaire.

"Tell me quickly, does that 10,000-yuan household have two brains? Otherwise, how could he have become a 10,000-yuan household right from the start, and he's from another place? Is there someone behind this who's giving him the guidance?"

Li Jiajia threw out a lot of questions.

"How can there be any expert guidance? Didn't you say he's from another place?" Jiang Shengmei retorted with a smile, "This kid is a student at Tsinghua University. He's smart, and he can make a name for himself in an unfamiliar place."

Jiang Shengmei's words were full of admiration for Shen Zhihui.

It's not that there is no expert guidance at all. I guess no one would have thought that this expert would be from another place.

Because of Chen Zhihui, the topic in the kitchen turned to going into business.

-

On the day of moving, Xia Mi got up early. She was in charge of counting things, while Huo Jingchen and Zhang Erqiao helped with the luggage.

"Erqiao, thank you for your hard work. Actually, Jingchen can carry these things."

Zhang Erqiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, a smile still on his lips. "I have a rare day off today, and I don't want to waste time in the dormitory. I haven't been to the city for a long time. Today, I can also go to the city to take a look under the pretext of moving."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Daqiang's voice rang out.

"Erqiao, you're so dishonest! The battalion commander clearly called me. Aren't you supposed to be resting today? Why are you trying to steal my work?"

Shi Daqiang arrived late and stood at the door panting, accusing Zhang Erqiao of stealing his job.

"During training and missions, you two weren't always this active, but you are now."

Huo Jingchen glanced at the two of them with a cold expression.

The two of them had a rare tacit understanding and changed the subject and started helping to move things.

Xia Mi didn't actually have much luggage, but Huo Jingchen insisted that she take the supplements that Zhao Min bought last time, as well as quilts and other things. He was worried that she would be scared alone at night, so he also moved the TV out of the house.

In Huo Jingchen's words, it is better to have some noise at home than to be alone.

There were also some of his spare clothes in it, so that he would have something to change into when he came over.

Three full suitcases, two duffel bags, a TV and a bicycle.

If no one helps, she really can't handle so many things by herself.

What Xia Mi didn't expect was that as soon as she got off the boat in Qingcheng, Shen Zhihui came.

"Captain Huo!" Shen Zhihui's voice was loud. He stood next to a medium-sized truck and waved his hands to attract attention.

Xia Mi was puzzled. She had not told Shen Zhihui about her move, so why would he pick her up at the dock?

Huo Jingchen, holding a suitcase in each hand, explained, "I told him in advance, otherwise it would be inconvenient without a car."

So that’s how it is. Xia Mi followed behind pushing her bicycle.

Zhang Erqiao held two luggage bags and a suitcase in each hand, while Shi Daqiang held the TV, fearing that it would be bumped or damaged.

"Zhang Erqiao, not only did you steal my job, but why did you also throw all the dirty and tiring work to me?" Shi Daqiang was indignant and followed Zhang Erqiao to accuse him.

Zhang Erqiao looked back at him and sneered.

"I'm letting you practice in advance. If you bump into someone while holding Li Jiajia in the arms in the future, I won't just blame you with a few words. You might even get domestic violence."

Shi Daqiang defended himself, "That's just because you don't understand Jiajia. She's only so mean to outsiders. She's not like that to me now."

"I can only say that you are not worthy of her gentle treatment."

Shi Daqiang was very proud to say this. When he talked about his lover, his heart was filled with sweetness and he didn't even feel the weight of the TV in his hand.

Zhang Erqiao got goosebumps all over his body after hearing this, and even looked at her with disgust.

It turns out that there is no salvation for those who fall in love.

Shen Zhihui hurried forward and reached out to take the thing in Huo Jingchen's hand, but the other party dodged it.

"Go help her."

Xia Mi:?

She only had a bicycle, and she only had to push it, so it didn't take much strength.

"No need to help me. Erqiao and Daqiang need help more than I do." Xia Mi turned to look at the two of them and found that they were arguing.

Shen Zhihui looked at this scene and smiled, "It seems that these two comrades don't really need my help."

"You still have time to bicker." Huo Jingchen also noticed the two elementary school students behind him.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Erqiao and Shi Daqiang fell silent and began to follow behind obediently.

The truck could barely fit three people.

After everyone put their things in the back, they started to discuss who would take the bus.

"We'll ride there by bike, you guys take the bus first." Huo Jingchen didn't think twice and took Xia Mi to ride there by bike.

Shen Zhihui nodded, opened the car door and climbed in, “Then we will go first, please be careful.”

Huo Jingchen took off his coat and considerately placed it on the back seat to prevent Xia Mi from getting a sore butt from sitting for too long.

"Why don't you take a bus? It's faster."

"Let them clean up first. By the time we get there, most of the things will have been moved." Huo Jingchen looked at the environment in the car. Not only was it cramped, but the smell of engine oil was also unpleasant.

Considering that Xia Mi was still sensitive to smells, he chose to ride over.

The bike was small and it didn't feel very comfortable for him to ride.

When we arrived at our destination, we could see the truck parked on the roadside of the family compound from a distance. Many people were looking around, and there were children playing nearby, staring at the truck as if they had seen something rare.

Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen arrived at the entrance of the alley and heard people talking outside.

"Who did the Song family rent the house to? It's so grand, they even had a car to move in, and there were two soldiers there. They must be quite powerful, right?"

"It's definitely not simple. If it were simple, how could so many people come to move? I see there are quite a lot of things in the car."

"That's not right. If they had money, why would they rent it from us?"

Everyone was talking about all sorts of things. Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen listened quietly without responding. Under the gaze of everyone, the two of them walked into the alley.

The person just on the side of the road noticed something was wrong.

"Two new faces just walked in."

Xia Mi took Huo Jingchen to find the house. The yard was very lively because Huang Lirong and others were helping.

"Xiao Xia is here." Huang Lirong was holding a rag in her hand. She invited warmly, "Xiao Xia, come have dinner at our house tonight. I bought some meat and vegetables specially."

Huo Jingchen is going to stay here to rest tonight, and Xia Mi also plans to go to the movies with him.

"Sorry, Auntie, I have other plans tonight."

Huang Lirong didn't feel sad when she heard that she had other plans. She just said, "That's a pity, but it's okay. We'll have plenty of time in the future. Don't refuse me next time."
