Chapter 191: Almost Falling into the Sea
"Who wouldn't want to pick up something ready-made, let others do all the dirty work, and get paid just by talking?"
Xiao Wang thought about it, and then he realized that Sister Xia Mi was also like this. However, since the master chose Sister Xia Mi, it must be because she has something extraordinary.
"Okay, pack up, we're going to have lunch at a restaurant today. It's like celebrating the New Year in advance. It's rare that there are not many people in the restaurant today."
Shen Zhihui originally wanted to invite Xia Mi to dinner, but then he thought that their identities were not suitable and they had to avoid suspicion.
Since New Year’s Eve is approaching, we might as well treat everyone to a dinner in advance.
The three of them didn't expect that they could still go to the restaurant to eat, so they all started to clamor to put down the work in their hands.
"Master is so nice. Which restaurant should we go to for dinner? Oh, where is that beautiful sister from before? Isn't she coming?"
Xiao Wang smiled innocently, "Has Sister Xia Mi left? Aren't we going to have dinner together?"
When Shen Zhihui and Xia Mi went to the warehouse to talk, Xiao Wang had already revealed the truth to his two fellow apprentices, revealing Xia Mi's identity as a military wife. The rest was just his guess, and he didn't dare to say anything rashly.
"Not yet. Go and call her."
Shen Zhihui glanced at the time. It was almost time for dinner. He had already booked a restaurant, so he could just go over and order food.
"Li Meng, Li Yuan, please pack up and wash your hands before leaving." Shen Zhihui reminded his two disciples when he saw that their hands were dirty.
The two of them quickly agreed and turned to wash their hands.
Shen Zhihui was standing at the door waiting for Xia Mi, still digesting the things he had discussed with her today, buying used cars and developing dealers. Neither of these two things was easy, but if done successfully they could make a lot of money.
After much thought, he decided to try his luck at the transportation company in the afternoon.
As the transportation company has the largest number of cars, it is inevitable that some cars will be eliminated. However, when he thought of the bad attitude of the other party when he went to the transportation company last time, he was a little discouraged.
I'm worried that I'll be rejected again.
Just when I was feeling bored, Xiao Wang came over with Xia Mi, chatting and laughing.
"We're here. The restaurant is just in front." Shen Zhihui smiled, "I'll go back and pick up Zijie first."
Xia Mi nodded. Today was Saturday and Zhang Zijie didn’t have any classes.
Since the last typhoon hit, Zhang Zijie's home was destroyed, and he and Grandma Liang were taken to the city by Shen Zhihui.
After thinking about it, I realized that I haven’t seen Zhang Zijie for a long time.
Shen Zhihui went home first to pick up Zhang Zijie, and Xia Mi followed Xiao Wang and the others to the restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the four of them sat at their seats in silence. After finally waiting for the waiter to finish his work and come over to greet them, a few of them started pushing and pushing to order food.
In the end, Xiao Wang gave the decision to Xia Mi.
Xia Mi saw that the three people had been kicking the ball for a long time, and now the ball finally came to her.
"I want braised pork, a steamed sea bass, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and boiled shrimp. I also want a cold shredded vegetable dish and tomato and egg soup."
For six people, six dishes and one soup should be enough.
"Let's get two kilograms of rice first."
The apprentices are all men, and there are four men in total including Shen Zhihui. Two kilograms of rice should not be a difficult task for them.
When the three heard that most of the dishes Xia Mi ordered were meat, they couldn't stop drooling at the thought of having meat, and their stomachs started to feel hungry.
In order to cover up the rumbling sounds, Xiao Wang took the initiative to introduce Xia Mi to the Li Meng brothers.
"By the way, Sister Xia Mi, I didn't have time to introduce them to you this morning. These two are Master's new disciples. This is Li Meng, and this is Li Yuan. They are brothers."
Xia Mi nodded slightly at the two of them.
"Hello, my name is Xia Mi."
The two of them shouted in unison, "Hello, Sister Xia Mi."
After the formal introduction, the two brothers started talking and began to ask about Xia Mi.
While waiting for someone, Xia Mi was free and picked some questions to answer. As for those that involved privacy or were about Huo Jingchen, she simply read them without replying.
"Teacher Xia."
Zhang Zijie looked around as he entered the room, and after confirming Xia Mi's location, he rushed over immediately.
Zhang Zijie is still in the fifth grade, which means he has been held back a grade.
Children are at the age of growing up. As their bodies get more nutrition, their height will keep increasing.
After not seeing each other for a while, Zhang Zijie's height has grown to Xia Mi's ear.
"Zhang Zijie, long time no see." Xia Mi stood up to greet him with a smile on her lips, "How is your grandma doing recently? Has she finished taking her medicine?"
"Grandma has been in good health recently. She has finished her medicine, but Brother Shen has bought her new ones because he couldn't find the medicine you gave her nearby."
Zhang Zijie excitedly shared his recent developments with Xia Mi.
Shen Zhihui asked, "Have you ordered the food?"
"It's ordered and is already being prepared. Master, please sit down first." Xiao Wang quickly took over the conversation.
Shen Zhihui sat down, "Zijie, please sit down."
Zhang Zijie sat down obediently.
With the addition of Shen Zhihui and Zhang Zijie, the place suddenly became lively.
After lunch at noon, Xia Mi saw that the sky was turning cloudy and was worried that the rain would delay her return, so she said goodbye and left early after lunch.
Before the ship could reach the shore, it started to rain heavily.
The rain hit the window with a crackling sound, the view outside was blurred by the rain, and the speed of the boat slowed down suddenly.
The ship was about to arrive, but was hampered by the weather, so the salesperson came in to inform us.
"Due to weather conditions, the boat can stay on shore for a while. You can get off the boat when the rain stops."
The passengers on the boat had no objection. After all, if they went out now, they would be soaked.
Xia Mi leaned against the window, looking at the gray sky and feeling glad that she had come back a little earlier.
The rain outside the window showed no sign of letting up. It continued for more than half an hour and was still pouring rain. The sky was getting darker and there were signs of thunder.
For safety reasons, the salesperson could only urge everyone to get off the boat and go to the dock to shelter from the rain.
There is a guard post at the dock, and soldiers from the army are stationed there every day to protect the safety of people boarding the ship.
The shed at the guard post is not big, only seven or eight square meters, which is not enough for twenty or so people to shelter from the rain.
Everyone rushed out in a swarm, fearing that they would not be able to get a good position.
The salesman and the captain stood on the deck to maintain order.
"Line up, one by one, take your time, don't rush, take your time!"
The sharp female voice seemed particularly weak amid the noisy sound of rain and had no effect at all.
When it was Xia Mi's turn, she was about to step on the board to go ashore, but she noticed someone pushing her from behind, so she frowned and quickened her pace.
The board is not wide enough and can only accommodate one person. The person behind keeps urging and pushing, which can easily cause the person in front to fall.
As they were about to reach the shore, Xia Mi felt something light beneath her feet. The pedal could not bear the weight of three people and broke in the middle.
Xia Mi's tense nerves suddenly broke at this moment, and her whole body fell down.
A splash sound of falling into the water was heard from behind. A man who had just been rushing forward had fallen into the sea. He was struggling and calling for help in the water.
There was another man who was lucky enough to be pulled in time by someone behind him and did not fall into the sea.
When the feeling of weightlessness swept over her body, Xia Mi screamed.
