Chapter 177: Human Relationships
Since their marriage, Huo Jingchen's savings account has been managed by Xia Mi.
When Xia Mi arrived at Zhuifeng Island, she only had a few dozen dollars on her, and her monthly salary was also pitifully small, so she definitely couldn't come up with much money to invest.
The money in her space was not legitimate, so she could only use Huo Jingchen's money to cover it up.
Huo Jingchen had no concept of money and gave all his salary to Xia Mi.
Huo Jingchen also followed her in investing.
"You don't have to cook tonight. Let's go to Sister Fan's house for dinner. She has almost recovered and said she wants to invite you and Sister Jiang to have dinner together."
Xia Mi was tired after a day's work and naturally didn't want to move anymore.
I was so happy to hear that I could eat ready-made food, and Mrs. Fan’s cooking skills are really good.
"Then how about picking up something? I just bought a can of malted milk today. How about giving it to my sister-in-law?"
"It's all right, but should we send it to Sister Jiang and the others?"
After Huo Jingchen's reminder, Xia Mi finally realized that this worldly wisdom is indeed...
"Then I'll go to my sister-in-law's house and ask. When I went shopping today, I saw a nice piece of cloth, so I bought some and wanted my sister-in-law to make a skirt for me. It's perfect for summer."
There is a supply and marketing cooperative near the pier, which is much larger than the one on Zhuifeng Island.
Xia Mi had nothing to do, so she went in for a walk.
When he came out again, his hands were full of things.
There was a roll of cloth in the bag. Although Xia Mi didn't know how to make clothes, she thought that Jiang Shengmei, who was dexterous, could give her guidance, so it shouldn't be difficult.
As a thank you, Xia Mi also bought a piece of cloth for Jiang Shengmei.
When she saw it, she thought it would be a perfect match for Jiang Shengmei.
"That's good. With the typhoon incident, Lao Jiang's trip to Qingcheng will have to be put on hold for a while, and my sister-in-law will probably have to stay for a while as well."
Xia Mi hummed.
After returning home, Xia Mi took the material to Jiang Shengmei's house.
Jiang Shengmei fell in love with the fabric at first sight. "This is so beautiful. The material is so smooth. It must cost a lot of money, right?"
"Not much. I asked my sister-in-law for help, so I bought one for myself."
Then, Xia Mi talked about asking Jiang Shengmei to help make a skirt.
Jiang Shengmei agreed without saying a word. She felt bad for taking away a piece of good material from Xia Mi just for such a small matter, so she turned around and went into the house to get the money.
Xia Mi quickly stopped him, "Sister-in-law, you've been nice to me since I came to the island. Didn't you say you were leaving some time ago? I just couldn't bear to let you go, so I wanted to give you something as a token of my remembrance. Don't give me any money."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengmei decided not to take the money.
She was so moved that she almost cried as she touched the material.
"I also bought some things for Sister Fan. She just recovered."
Xia Mi hinted that she would send something in the evening.
"You're talking about that. Me too. I'm going to take the twenty or so free-range eggs I saved up tonight. Our family can't eat that much. And I'm also going to take the milk powder someone sent over last time."
This... He actually gave more than her. Xia Mi's heart skipped a beat.
Should she go back for more?
"Oh, sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that the kitchen at home was not closed. I was worried that Black Panther would go in and eat the meat I bought. I'll go home first and come to see you later."
"Okay, go back and watch it quickly, your black panther is very greedy."
Jiang Shengmei remembered the last time she went to deliver food to the sick Xia Mi.
The black panther ate all the food by itself, and the last extra bun ended up in its stomach.
From then on, in Jiang Shengmei's mind, Black Panther was labeled as a glutton.
Xia Mi returned home and happened to run into Huo Jingchen who was walking out.
"Why are you back again?"
Xia Mi looked at the malted milk in Huo Jingchen's hand and said, "Wait for me."
When Xia Mi came out again, she was holding a few apples and oranges in her hands, all of which she bought today.
"It looks like Sister Jiang gave quite a lot."
"That's a lot of things I want to give." Xia Mi walked to Huo Jingchen and told him everything Jiang Shengmei wanted to give.
Huo Jingchen smiled and said, "Why are you still comparing yourself to others?"
"This is not a comparison, it's normal social etiquette. Sister Fan has been nice to me."
"Then, you are her savior. Shouldn't she have given it to you?"
Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this was true.
"So my sister-in-law treated us to dinner."
"And you sent something more valuable than a meal?"
Unable to communicate with Huo Jingchen, Xia Mi glared at him and said, "I'm going to find my sister-in-law. I can still help now."
Huo Jingchen looked at Xia Mi's hurried back, with a doting smile on his lips. -Li Jiajia saw what Xia Mi and Jiang Shengmei brought.
She was shocked at first, and asked in surprise, "Xia Mi, Aunt Jiang, today is just my mother's dinner invitation, not her 50th birthday, why are you sending so many things?"
Li Jiajia was very surprised when she saw the things piled on the table.
Li Weimin was also shocked.
"These things are too valuable. You are Chunhua's savior. Why did you bring so many things?"
Li Weimin picked up the things and stuffed them into people's hands.
"Take it back quickly, take it all back, there are too many, our family can't eat it all."
Jiang Shengmei pushed it back directly.
"Your chickens were all crushed to death. Chunhua is in great need of nutrition right now. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and found that there was no chicken these days, let alone eggs to sell. I have more at home, so keep them for yourself."
When she got to Xia Mi, her mind was confused for a moment.
Huo Jingchen stepped forward and said, "Xia Mi heard that sister-in-law was discharged from the hospital, so she went to the city to buy some things today. She also wanted to give sister-in-law some nutrition. This is all out of kindness. Instructor, please accept it."
"If you're being so polite, it's too distant. At worst, you can just send it back next time and it will be the same."
Huo Jingchen's words were still so direct.
Fortunately, Li Weimin still accepted the things and did not feel much psychological burden.
Thinking that I will have to return it anyway, I might as well accept it.
As for those who haven’t paid it back yet, no one cares.
Today it is Li Jiajia's turn to cook, Fan Chunhua helps her, Xia Mi and Jiang Shengmei help wash the dishes and pass the plates.
While we were eating, it was dark outside.
It was only half past six, but it looked like eight or nine o'clock.
There were three families sitting at two tables. The rules were the same as before: one table for those who wanted to drink and one table for those who didn't.
Xia Mi was still assigned to the children's table.
When the meal was almost over, Lin Qianyue asked Xia Mi, "Teacher Xia, when do we start school?"
"It will be soon. It will probably only take a few days."
Xia Mi felt strange. Didn't Lin Qianyue hate going to school? Why did he suddenly ask about the start time of school? "Why, do you miss your classmates?"
Lin Qianyue shook his head and said seriously, "No, my aunt promised me that she would take me to meet my parents when I get 100 points in the final exam."
