Chapter 138 Children’s Gifts-
Huo Jingchen returned to the army, and before he could even sit down on the bench, a soldier knocked on the door.
"Report, Captain Huo, Captain Jiang wants you to come over."
"Okay, got it." Huo Jingchen closed the file he had just opened, hesitated for a few seconds, and stood up.
Jiang Weidong was waiting for Huo Jingchen in the office.
Huo Jingchen knocked on the door and shouted a report, then entered the office after getting permission.
Jiang Weidong motioned for him to sit down first, "How about going to Suzhou this time?"
"Not bad." Huo Jingchen could probably guess what Jiang Weidong was going to say. He sat upright with his hands on his knees.
"You should know what I want to talk to you about. I mentioned it to you before you left last time."
Huo Jingchen didn't play dumb, "I know."
"How is it going? You can finally go back to the capital. I told your father about this a long time ago. Did your family write to you?"
"Captain, I don't want to leave Wind Chasing Island for the time being."
Jiang Weidong's expression changed, his eyes were puzzled, "What?"
"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Did you have another disagreement with Minister Huo?" Jiang Weidong was stunned. What does it mean that he didn't want to leave? Huo Jingchen didn't want to leave. He still wanted to leave.
Seeing that life on Zhuifeng Island was getting better day by day, he received news that a new supply and marketing cooperative would soon be established on the island.
Life is no longer as turbulent as before, but what on earth is Huo Jingchen thinking?
"I'm not leaving for now. I want to stay for a while."
After a night of thinking, Huo Jingchen silently made a decision.
He wanted to see Fu Ming get into college, but he also wanted to wait a little longer. Since Xia Mi had her own ideas, he, as a husband, should help her instead of asking her to accommodate him.
"What on earth do you think?"
Jiang Weidong didn't understand. He couldn't figure out why he suddenly wanted to stay.
"I've been here for a long time, and I've developed feelings for you." Huo Jingchen said, and when he looked up again, he met Jiang Weidong's eyes that looked like he would never believe it.
Jiang Weidong took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his expression seemed to say, you are kidding!
"Seriously, do your parents know about this?"
"Do you know if it's important?" When Huo Jingchen thought of his parents, his head suddenly started to hurt, but fortunately he still had an older brother and an older sister who were there to take care of his filial duties.
Jiang Weidong was so angry that he couldn't speak, "..."
"Wind Chasing Island is safe now, and everyone's life is getting better. If you stay here, you will be burying yourself."
Jiang Weidong tried to wake Huo Jingchen up.
After he finished speaking, he realized that he knew Huo Jingchen's character. Once he made up his mind, ten oxen could not pull him back.
Jiang Weidong changed the topic and asked, "How long do you plan to stay?"
"I don't know, three years at most, two years at least."
"What do you think will happen in two or three years?"
"Stay for another two or three years." Huo Jingchen obediently repeated Jiang Weidong's words.
This almost pissed Jiang Weidong off to death.
He covered his chest and quickly calmed himself down, "Have you discussed this with Xia Mi? She is such a beautiful girl, and she has been following you on the Wind Chasing Island, exposed to the wind and sun. Have you ever considered her feelings?"
Huo Jingchen: "I considered it. She respects my ideas."
"..." Jiang Weidong's eyes were filled with resentment, and he felt in his heart that these two people were from the same family.
"Now that the appointment letter has been issued, you have to leave whether you want to or not." Jiang Weidong didn't care and just said this.
"I have telegraphed my eldest brother and he will arrange it."
Jiang Weidong was silent again. What on earth was this family up to? Could it be that Huo Jingting didn't want Huo Jingchen to go back?
Huo Jingchen said, "Old Jiang, don't worry, I will take good care of this place for you after you leave."
Jiang Weidong frowned, "You little brat, you make it seem like I'm going to die. I'm going to Qingcheng this time, which is not far from you guys."
Huo Jingchen nodded. From his tone, it seemed that Jiang Weidong had already accepted it.
Then he found an excuse to leave.
Jiang Weidong looked at Huo Jingchen's tall back, feeling very disappointed. How could such a good hand of cards be played so badly? -Xia Mi returned to school and walked to the podium. In addition to chalk and chalk erasers, there were also many garlands and bracelets made of dogtail grass on the podium.
When the children below saw her come back, they were all excited.
The children happily pointed at the gifts they had given, emphasizing where they picked the flowers and how they were made.
Xia Mi looked at the various wreaths of flowers and grass, and the corners of her lips raised in a smile.
"Thank you for your gifts, teacher. I also brought you gifts this time, but there are conditions for receiving the gifts!"
Xia Mi took out a piece of pastry and placed it on the podium. When the children below saw the pastry packaging, they all stared at it.
"After eating my food, you must study hard. I will give everyone a piece. Those who eat my food must pass the final exam. If you are confident that you can pass all subjects, or get full marks in one subject, you can eat two pieces."
"If you don't do it, you won't get any cakes next time!"
The children were very excited when they heard this and were all full of energy.
They all rushed to promise Xia Mi how they would score in the exam. Xia Mi smiled and said there was no rush. She opened the notebook and started to register one by one. She called one person to come up and write down his or her goal, and then recorded everyone's goals in the notebook.
When encountering someone who set a particularly high goal for eating pastries, Xia Mi did not refuse to give them the cakes, but emphasized that if they failed to achieve the goal, they would not be able to eat them next time.
A few people gave up when they saw the difficulty and decided on the one that was easiest for them to approach.
There were only eighteen children in the class, and all twenty-five pieces of cakes were divided up.
On Zhuifeng Island, you may not even be able to eat cakes during the Chinese New Year. The children hold the cakes like treasures and refuse to eat them, and some want to take them home to share with their families.
Seeing how they were greedy but reluctant to eat, Xia Mi had to relax and said, "Eat it. If you have good performance, the teacher can give you a reward at his discretion."
The effect was minimal and there was still little to eat.
Xia Mi was completely at her wit's end.
After class, the children ran outside. Xia Mi walked out with her textbook in her arms and ran into Zhang Zijie who was coming down from the second floor.
He held a bag carefully in his arms.
When he saw Xia Mi, his dark eyes brightened up and became radiant.
"Teacher Xia!"
Zhang Zijie carefully protected the eggs in his arms, "Teacher Xia, these are the eggs my grandmother asked me to buy for you. She is feeling much better now. Thank you for the medicine you sent me."
Looking at the eggs in the cloth bag, I estimated that there were about ten eggs in total.
Xia Mi refused. "I appreciate the kindness. You can take the food back. Your grandma needs nutrition now. You can take the egg back to her."
"No, grandma said it has to be given to you."
Zhang Zijie emphasized again, "If you don't want it, my grandma will scold me if I take it back."
Xia Mi smiled, but still refused, "If you really want to thank me, take it back."
"Your grandma's health has finally improved. If she can't get enough nutrition, won't all my efforts be in vain?"
Zhang Zijie thought this made sense! Xia Mi's words made him hesitate.
