Chapter 122 Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival Together -
After discussion, Xia Mi agreed to go back to Suzhou with Xia Jing, and Huo Jingchen would go with them. Considering the long round trip, it would take a total of five days.
Huo Jingchen works without a break all year round, and the beginning of the year was his first vacation in six years.
When Jiang Weidong heard that he wanted to take five days off, he said nothing and let him have a physical examination before taking the day off, thinking that he should have a good rest.
It was a little troublesome for Xia Mi to ask for leave, but He Yuntang was there, so he and Qiao Jing took her place.
The three of them planned to set off after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fan Chunhua and Jiang Shengmei arrived at Xia Mi's house at nine in the morning, and He Yuntang followed with Yaya.
"Qian Yue, you are not allowed to take your sister to play in the mud or fight guerrilla warfare, do you hear me?"
Lin Qianyue took Yaya and ran out, ignoring what his aunt said.
If we don’t play guerrilla warfare, what else can we play? We can’t let a group of young men accompany Yaya to play house in a bar,
Yaya does not participate in combat, but usually serves as a hostage, waiting for rescue.
She enjoyed the process because she didn't have to run around and saw a large group of people sweating profusely for her.
The division of labor was very clear last time, and this time everyone has their own responsibilities, and everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.
"Originally, I heard from my husband Jiang that there should be an art troupe coming this time. They didn't come last time on August 1st. But the sea is going to be windy again in a few days, so the art troupe won't be able to come. Otherwise, we could have watched some performances."
Jiang Shengmei was washing vegetables and spoke with a regretful tone.
"Speaking of which, I haven't watched a show in a while. I think the last time was two years ago?"
Fan Chunhua also helped prepare the food. The two of them gathered around the sink and said, "On our island, there is nothing new all year round. There are not even many new people."
"You make it sound like we're isolated from the world."
"That's not the case. Xia Mi came to the hospital this year. I didn't expect Xia Mi to be so capable as to bring Teacher He and Doctor Xia here."
Xia Mi was beating the egg whites. She used three chopsticks and her hands became weak. The egg whites were just barely foaming and she needed to beat them for another ten minutes.
He Yuntang was responsible for chopping wood, making fire and doing physical work.
"We also have to thank Xiao Mi for this. Sister Fan, I think this island is pretty good. There are sea and mountains, and it's not far from the city."
He Yuntang put the firewood away and chopped it hard. He felt that the time he spent on Zhuifeng Island was happier than when he was in Suzhou.
There is no pressure at all, just live in the present moment and don't worry.
"Teacher He, you had the same idea when we first came here."
The more Fan Chunhua listened to this, the more familiar it sounded. She then burst into laughter and talked about her longings when she first arrived on the island, which were later wiped out by reality.
"But Mr. He is different from us. Your burden is to build Zhuifeng Junior High School, while our burden is to make a living."
"It's all the same, regardless of high or low. It's not easy to live a good life nowadays."
He Yuntang said politely, "You have to save money and live a busy life. In your spare time, you have to grow vegetables and worry about your children. If I have to say admiration, I should admire you. Under such circumstances, you can still save money and live a good life."
Fan Chunhua and Jiang Shengmei felt for the first time that their value and efforts were recognized, and they were deeply moved.
Xia Mi was sitting in the pavilion, busy with her own things, while listening to them chatting, her lips never curled up, she felt that such a day was also very good.
"By the way, Xia Mi, the Chinese New Year is coming after the Mid-Autumn Festival. You and Captain Huo have been married for more than half a year, and you still don't plan to have children?"
Fan Chunhua is worthy of being the instructor's wife, and she cares deeply about the family members.
Xia Mi didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to herself. She stopped beating the egg whites for half a second and quickly resumed.
"not yet."
Fan Chunhua has always been carefree, her mouth is faster than her brain, "It seems that Captain Huo is still planning to return to the capital to develop?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Shengmei lowered her voice and warned Fan Chunhua.
"Xia Mi, don't get me wrong. I just saw that you guys haven't had a child for such a long time, and I thought you were going back to the capital to develop, so I didn't want one. I didn't mean to pry."
Jiang Shengmei was completely speechless. She finally knew who Li Jiajia took her brain from.
This was not the first time Xia Mi faced the question of induced labor, so she answered it with ease.
"It's okay, sister-in-law. The main reason is that Jingchen is not ready yet. I will listen to him."
Yes, her ability to pass the buck is truly unique.
Huo Jingchen was stunned when he walked to the door. Was he not prepared?
Never mind, whatever my wife says is what it is, and there’s nothing wrong with just following her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm worried about giving birth to a child like Qian Yue. Do you think Xia Mi can control a naughty boy like that? In order to keep the family harmonious for a longer period of time, I think it's better to have children later."
Jiang Shengmei nodded, thinking that it was right.
"That's true. Before a child is ten years old, even dogs will dislike him. When he is young, you have to get up in the middle of the night to change his diaper. When he grows up, he will go against people. Having a child is too tiring. You two should just enjoy yourself for another two years."
Lin Qianyue was only three years old when he was brought to the island, and he gave Jiang Shengmei a lot of trouble.
The topic of having children was thus brought to a close.
Zhang Ling was on duty at noon, and Jiang Weidong went on a business trip to Qingcheng. There were two fewer people than expected, so the yard was not crowded.
After dinner, Xia Mi was responsible for packing the luggage for going to Suzhou.
We are preparing to leave tomorrow and have already bought the train tickets. Xia Jing will come over to stay at night. The hospital is three kilometers away from the pier, so Xia Mi asked her aunt to stay directly at home to save time.
Huo Jingchen arranged for a patrol car to pick him up so that he could get more sleep and rest.
Huo Jingchen took out his casual clothes and said, "I'll wear casual clothes this time."
"You don't have many casual clothes, why don't you take advantage of this trip to Suzhou to buy a few more?"
Xia Mi put the casual clothes he took out into her bag, "By the way, I plan to send Black Panther to my aunt's house. Yaya is usually bored at home alone, and Black Panther can keep an eye on her."
"Squad leader Zhao from the kennel would never have thought that a dog that failed the test could now learn to take care of children."
As he said that, he gave Xia Mi a thumbs up and said, "You are better at disciplining than Squad Leader Zhao."
"Really? Then sit down."
Huo Jingchen's face froze, and he quickly realized that Xia Mi was training him like a dog, but his body still reacted first and he sat down.
Looking at Xia Mi laughing so hard, Huo Jingchen was not annoyed.
Xia Mi smiled, unable to utter a complete sentence, "I admit that you are right, I am better at training than squad leader Zhao. Come, shake hands."
She opened her palms and faced Huo Jingchen.
Because she was too happy, she didn't notice that the man raised his eyebrows slightly and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He reached out his hand cooperatively and held Xia Mi's hand. "I also have some other skills. Do you want to try them?"
Xia Mi's face changed instantly. When she wanted to pull her hand away, it was too late. A strong force pulled her into his arms.
"It's broad daylight."
She didn't even have to guess to know what Huo Jingchen wanted to do.
