Chapter 170 Make Up for It on Xia Mi
Seeing Lin Qian crying harder and harder, everyone in the room was at a loss as to what to do.
"Qian Yue, today is Yaya's birthday. This is not your home. If you have any grievances, go home and cry."
Huo Jingchen came late today and heard Lin Qianyue crying when he arrived. He listened to the second half at the door.
As soon as Huo Jingchen entered the room, Lin Qianyue's crying stopped abruptly, and two tear marks were very obvious under the light.
"Let's eat first, the food is getting cold."
Xia Jing spoke up to help out and urged everyone to hurry up and eat.
Xia Mi quickly took Yaya to the table, while Jiang Shengmei took Lin Qianyue out.
He Yuntang thought Jiang Shengmei was about to leave, so he called out to her, "Sister Jiang, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to take the child out to talk for a while and come back later."
He Yuntang was worried that Jiang Shengmei would scold the child, "The child probably misses his parents too, don't blame him."
"Teacher He, don't worry, I will definitely not scold the child."
Jiang Shengmei hurriedly took Lin Qianyue out.
When the two came back, the expression on Lin Qianyue's face had improved a lot. At least he wasn't crying as loudly as before, but he was still in a bad mood.
Xia Mi has been in contact with Lin Qianyue for so long, but this is the first time she has seen this side of him.
I couldn't help feeling touched when I went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
She deliberately asked with Huo Jingchen in a low voice, "Where are Qian Yue's parents?"
"Dead."
When Xia Mi heard the answer, her heart skipped a beat and she got goosebumps all over her body.
"Like my aunt, he was sent to a farm. But the conditions in the northwest were too harsh. He was swept away by a sandstorm. His body has not been found so far. He is probably gone."
As Huo Jingchen spoke, he looked around, observing the movements of people nearby.
Xia Mi’s face turned pale. She never expected this result.
Being demoted means that Lin Qianyue's parents are also excellent people, but it's a pity...
Just thinking about it, Xia Mi's mood suddenly became heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
"What are you thinking about?"
The two of them held hands unconsciously just now, and Huo Jingchen squeezed her soft palm.
Xia Mi came back to her senses and said regretfully, "It's nothing, I just think this news is too cruel for the child."
"My sister-in-law is not feeling well either. She heard the news of her brother and sister-in-law's death, but she still pretended that nothing happened. She is not much better than Lin Qianyue."
That’s true. Xia Mi agrees with this point of view.
"What are you standing there for? Come inside and eat. The food is almost ready."
Xia Jing held the pig's trotter soup and went out to see the two of them standing at the kitchen door chatting.
It’s cold now, and because of Lin Qianyue’s efforts just now, the food has been reheated and is still steaming when it is served on the table.
Yaya warmly invited Lin Qianyue to sit with her, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Lin Qianyue didn't refuse, but sat beside him sullenly.
During the meal, Jiang Sheng held up the wine and apologized for Lin Qianyue's mischief just now.
"Mrs. Jiang, you are too polite. The child misses his parents. It is normal for him to have a sudden emotional outburst after being away from them for so long."
He Yuntang raised his glass and toasted.
After drinking, I asked about Lin Qianyue's parents.
"By the way, Sister Jiang, why is Lin Qianyue's last name different from yours?"
"I was adopted by my aunt to be raised, so I took my uncle's surname." Jiang Shengmei explained calmly.
Xia Mi's grip on the chopsticks tightened for a moment.
Now her curious question finally had an explanation.
Being adopted by relatives is not a strange thing in this era. On the contrary, it is very normal.
What Xia Mi didn't expect was that Jiang Shengmei was an adopted daughter. Instead of hating her original family, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother's children.
This is the mindset she admires.
The more Lin Qian knew about this, the more guilty he felt towards his aunt.
He lowered his head so low that it was almost reaching the bowl.
Yaya picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it directly into Lin Qianyue's bowl, "Brother Qianyue, you cried for so long just now, you must be tired, eat your fill first before crying."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heated.
As the only victim, Lin Qianyi couldn't even hold his head up. -Tonight , everyone drank a little wine, which was the wine that He Yuntang had brewed since he came to the island.
Xia Mi also drank a little. After only two cups, she felt dizzy.
Her cheeks flushed and her eyes became increasingly blurred as she looked at Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen drank more than Xia Mi. What he didn't expect was that the aftereffect of the wine would be so strong. At this moment, the alcohol began to take effect and he felt a little dizzy.
Sangqi and Xia Mi drank almost as much.
For him who often socializes, this little bit of wine is just enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
After returning home, Xia Mi sat on a small stool, and Black Panther lay at his feet. The man and the dog stared at the yard in a daze.
Huo Jingchen went to the kitchen to boil water, and Sang Qi walked out from the living room.
Seeing there was a chair next to him, he sat down next to Xia Mi.
Xia Mi noticed someone next to her, tilted her head to glance at him, then turned away and continued to daydream.
She felt hot and dizzy, and some cool air would make her feel much better.
"Go in first. If you blow the cold wind at night, you will easily get migraines and catch a cold." Sangqi advised Xia Mi to go back to the house to rest.
Xia Mi nodded and went back to the living room as advised.
"I'll be back tomorrow morning. You keep this."
Sangqi took out two brocade boxes from his pocket, one red and the other golden.
Xia Mi looked at the brocade box on the table, frowned and asked, "What is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Xia Mi opened it obediently. First, there was a red box, and inside was a silver bracelet.
The golden opening revealed a necklace glowing with golden light.
"I asked someone to make this. I don't know what you like, but my wife likes jewelry very much, so I picked two pieces for you."
Sangqi didn't say that, in fact, his eldest sister had always wanted a silver bracelet since she was a child.
He always remembers it.
Although the eldest sister is gone, her children are still here.
So Sang Qi tried his best to be nice to Xia Mi. Before that, he also gave Xia Yaoyao a silver bracelet.
However, it was Zhang Xiaoqin who helped Xia Yaoyao choose the one.
He chose this one himself.
"It's too expensive. I can't take it." After reading it, Xia Mi calmly closed the box and pushed the thing back to the other side.
Sangqi insisted that Xia Mi accept it.
"I know you can't accept me as your uncle now, but in my heart, you will always be my niece."
Sangqi no longer forced Xia Mi to recognize him.
"I don't think I'll have much free time in the future, but I'll try to find time to come and see you. Please take care of yourself."
Sang Qi had mixed emotions and looked at Xia Mi with mixed feelings.
If he could have come earlier, the result would have been different. Unfortunately, Huo Jingchen gave him a chance, but he did not cherish it.
This is his karma.
