Chapter 101: Bringing a fountain pen to the battlefield
When these words came out, Shi Daqiang's heart broke.
The man was stunned for a moment, then his body reacted by taking a step to the side.
Xia Jing watched the scene and the corners of her lips curled up. Before coming, she was worried whether her nephew's husband would like them. Now, she saw that her nephew's husband was also a passionate person.
Huo Jingchen's gaze fell on Xia Mi.
After not seeing her for a few days, the previously thin person now has a slightly rounder face, a rosy complexion, and her clear and moving eyes are still as lively.
Xia Mi was the first to ask, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up." After Huo Jingchen finished speaking, he noticed Xia Jing and He Yuntang, and changed his words, "And my aunt and uncle."
Xia Mi introduced Huo Jingchen to Xia Jing and his wife.
Huo Jingchen extended his hand politely, "Aunt, hello uncle."
Xia Jing nodded slightly, and He Yuntang stretched out his hand to shake it back. "I heard Comrade Shi and Xiao Mi mention you when I came here. Now that I see you today, you are really a talented person."
"Uncle, you are so polite. The car will be here soon. There is a strong wind on the island today, and the boats have stopped."
Huo Jingchen looked at the overcast sky, stood beside Xia Mi, and took her hand naturally.
"I have already found a hotel. I am waiting for a car to pick you up. I will check the situation on the sea tomorrow morning. If we can send a ship, I will have someone notify you."
"Jingchen is so thoughtful, Yaya, come and call me brother-in-law."
Yaya huddled in He Yuntang's arms and looked at Huo Jingchen with a bit of timidity.
"By the way, aunt, should we call you Xiaoya from now on, or continue to call you Yaya?"
Xia Jing thought for a while and said, "Let's just call her Yaya. After the household registration is transferred here, I'll change her name. Yaya will be her nickname."
On the train, Xia Mi learned that Yaya's original name was He Jingya.
When Yaya was born, it can be said that her uncle and aunt were at their most sensitive time. They were afraid of everything, so they even gave the child a down-to-earth name.
Now that she has the opportunity to transfer her household registration, Xia Jing plans to change Yaya's name from He Xiaoya to He Jingya.
Huo Jingchen glanced at Yaya and subconsciously turned his gaze to Xia Mi. He did not see much expression of love for children on her face.
Then he looked back and saw a car coming forward.
The car was the public security office's office car, a Didu Jeep 212 off-road vehicle with a military green body. It became the focus as soon as it appeared in everyone's sight.
The car turned off and stopped steadily in front of the six people.
"Report to the battalion commander, the car is coming."
Huo Jingchen nodded. The young soldier driving the car took a look at the number of people and knew that he was not needed, so he wisely ran away.
Xia Jing and her friends didn't bring much, so they put their things away.
Xia Mi and Xia Jing and their wife sat in the back, Huo Jingchen drove, and Shi Daqiang sat in the passenger seat holding Yaya.
"Captain, why are all our people in the city? Is it because of those pirates?"
When I passed by a department store on the way, I found that there were people guarding the door. It can be said that there are guards everywhere where there are dense crowds of people.
Huo Jingchen was driving seriously and took the time to give Shi Daqiang a look.
Shi Daqiang received a warning look and quickly shut up. He thought that everyone here was his family and he could talk about work.
"It's fate. Your sister-in-law was almost kidnapped by that woman the first time she came here. This time, she gave her a good meal when she left Qingcheng. Your sister-in-law really knows how to behave."
Huo Jingchen saw Xia Mi huddled in the back without saying a word, and discovered through the rearview mirror that she had been looking out the window the entire way.
She hadn't said much to him while waiting for the bus.
Xia Mi withdrew her gaze. Why did he suddenly have something to do with himself?
"Almost got kidnapped? Xiao Mi, why didn't you ever tell us about this?" Xia Jing became scared and looked at Xia Mi worriedly.
Xia Mi patted her aunt's hand and reassured her, "It's not a big deal. Nowadays, human traffickers don't have much brains except for being brave."
When it comes to the methods used by human traffickers in later generations, they are so varied that it is hard to guard against.
"I thought so. It turns out my sister-in-law recognized me." Shi Daqiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, realized it only later. Whenever he thinks of that scene, he still admires Xia Mi very much.
"Captain, you don't know how cool my sister-in-law was at that time. She used a fountain pen to scare people. I never thought that a fountain pen could be used like this in my life."
Huo Jingchen had heard the details dozens of times from the public security comrades who were present that day.
This time, he just wanted to see Xia Mi's reaction, but unexpectedly, her reaction was indifferent.
She doesn't care about anything.
"Really? Then let my sister-in-law give you one, and bring a pen with you when you go on missions next time."
“…”
Shi Daqiang was stunned by the question. What kind of weird question is this? Shouldn't a normal person ask for details? Xia Mi felt funny and speechless when she heard this. She tilted her head and curved the corners of her lips.
Along the way, it was all thanks to Shi Daqiang that the atmosphere was created. The car stopped in front of a Red Star Hotel.
A total of three rooms were opened.
Having set out early in the morning, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived at the hotel. After a tiring day, Xia Mi washed her hands as soon as she entered the room, then took out her pajamas from her bag and went to the bathroom to change.
She had just finished changing and came out of the bathroom when there was a knock on the door.
Xia Mi looked down at her pajamas and hesitated, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Huo Jingchen's voice came from the other side of the door.
Xia Mi went to open the door, "Are you done talking so soon?"
"Well, just a few words. Do you think I was going to coax her to sleep?" Huo Jingchen walked in and raised his hand to unbutton his collar.
The uniform he was wearing was uncomfortable and not as light as the combat uniform.
He took off his wide-brimmed hat and coat, and hung them one by one on the hanger at the door. "Are you hungry? I heard from Daqiang that you didn't have lunch."
Xia Mi shook her head. "I'm not hungry. I ate a lot this morning. When my aunt and uncle left, the villagers came to give them a lot of gifts. I ate three eggs today alone."
Still not digesting it, Xia Mi walked over and lay on the bed.
The moment I lay down, most of my fatigue disappeared.
"I have to go back to the Public Security Bureau later. I'll invite my aunt and uncle to a restaurant for dinner tonight, and I'll invite Daqiang as well."
Huo Jingchen knew that Xia Mi was a bit of a germaphobe. He had been wearing the clothes for a whole day, and his pants and short-sleeved shirt were soaked with sweat. If he sat on them now, he would probably get angry.
"Oh, right." Xia Mi sat up from the bed, "Where do my aunt and uncle live?"
They had said before that they would live in a staff quarters, and Xia Mi was a little looking forward to living with her aunt and the others.
"Live over at the hospital. There is a separate house in the hospital for your aunt and the others to stay in."
"That's fine."
Seeing that it was not a family compound, Xia Mi was a little disappointed, but on second thought, she felt it was normal. The family compounds in military districts are for soldiers' families to live in, and one needs to wait until the conditions are met before being able to apply for one.
It’s nice for my aunt and uncle to have a house to live in now.
"The hospital's operating conditions are good, and there are subsidies every month."
Huo Jingchen added.
After talking about her aunt, Xia Mi looked at Huo Jingchen, remembering that he was now on a mission outside and his accommodation should have been arranged.
"Do you sleep in the Public Security Bureau at night now?"
After talking for so long, the person in front of him finally realized his concern for him. The smile on Huo Jingchen's face was full of helplessness.
"Not starting from tonight."
