Chapter 205: Fell asleep immediately
"That's about it. You should go to bed early tonight. You must be tired after sitting in the car for so long. You still have to come and greet aunt and the others in the evening."
Huo Jinying is very considerate of Xia Mi.
After dinner, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when we packed up everything. It was not early, so we said hello to my aunt and uncle's families, agreed on the time to visit relatives during the New Year, and then left.
It was already half past ten when Xia Mi lay down on the bed, even though she had just caught up on some sleep.
But when I lay in bed, my eyes were too sleepy to open, and I felt sleepy before I even covered myself with the quilt.
Huo Jinchen and Huo Jingting went to drive their uncle and aunt back, and it was already eleven o'clock when they returned.
He pushed open the door of the room, and the first thing he saw was Xia Mi lying on the bed, curled up in a small ball because of the cold.
Are you so sleepy? You fell asleep without even covering yourself with a blanket.
Huo Jingchen walked over, bent down and picked the person up, held the butt with one hand, lifted the quilt with the other, and put the person down gently.
"Hmm?" Xia Mi woke up in a daze, opened her eyes and saw a familiar face, her voice was lazy, "You're back?"
"Well, go to sleep." Huo Jingchen covered her with a quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt.
Xia Mi didn't respond and fell asleep.
Huo Jingchen was puzzled and sat in the chair lost in reminiscence. Was the journey of the past two days so tiring? In his impression, Xia Mi seemed to be sleeping all the time.
It was late at night, and a cool breeze came in through the window. Huo Jingchen was interrupted from his thoughts by the biting cold wind, and he got up to close the window.
Early the next morning, Xia Mi was woken up by someone.
"It's almost half past seven." Huo Jingchen hesitated for half an hour whether to wake Xia Mi up. He looked at her quietly for half an hour and found that she had no intention of waking up at all.
In the end, Huo Jingchen chose to wake him up.
Xia Mi opened her eyes, and her vision gradually became clearer. The moment she saw the unfamiliar room, her brain was still unable to react.
"It's already half past seven?" Xia Mi sat up, "Why didn't you call me earlier?"
Huo Jingchen asked, "When the alarm rang, did you not hear it at all?"
"No, did it ring? Was it because I broke it yesterday that's why it didn't ring?" Xia Mi didn't realize that it was her fault for not hearing it, and she was certain that the alarm clock was broken.
Huo Jingchen raised his eyebrows. What did he hear? "Why do you seem to be not getting enough sleep recently? You sleep much more deeply than usual."
Xia Mi put on a pullover sweater, and when her head popped out from the collar, there was a moment of confusion in her eyes.
"Really? I snore?"
Hearing the words "sleeping soundly", Xia Mi subconsciously thought that her snoring had disturbed him.
"Yeah, it was very loud. I thought someone was driving a tractor in my ear in the middle of the night." Huo Jingchen's smile deepened, and he was obviously teasing Xia Mi.
When Xia Mi saw his look, she knew what was going on and glared at the man fiercely with her watery eyes.
It was already seven forty when she went downstairs. Xia Mi went downstairs in a hurry, and the wooden stairs made a creaking sound.
"Xiao Mi is awake. Breakfast will be ready soon. Your second sister will go out to get some soybean milk and fried dough sticks. Let's taste them later. This is our special breakfast."
Zhao Min was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When she saw Xia Mi coming down, she took off her glasses.
Soy milk and fried dough sticks!
When Xia Mi heard these two things, her face suddenly turned bad.
In her previous life, she had seen many challenge videos of this thing on the Internet. Yes, challenge videos! It was very popular, so much so that she had tried it once. The taste was so wonderful that she wanted to slap herself twice and questioned why she blindly followed the trend.
"Mom, is this what you eat in the morning?"
Xia Mi's lips were stiff. She walked to the sofa and sat down, nervously waiting for an answer, worried that she would have to drink soy milk and fried dough sticks for the next few days.
Zhao Min shook her head. "Not really. Very few people make this at home. People usually buy it outside. I can't eat it. I haven't been able to eat it since I was a child."
It turns out that even the native locals can't digest it, so how do you think she, a foreigner, can digest it?
Huo Jinying has already gone to buy it, and when she comes back later, she will definitely have a taste of it.
But when Xia Mi thought of the taste of soy milk, her mood suddenly became depressed.
"Your dad likes to drink it, and so do Jinying and Changqiang. I just don't know if you like it."
As they were talking, there was a conversation outside and Xia Mi heard Huo Jinying's voice.
As the conversation grew louder, Xia Mi's mood gradually became heavier.
Breakfast was ready, and everyone was sitting at the table. When distributing the bean juice, Xia Mi couldn't help but speak up, "I'll just try a little bit. If I can't drink it, all this would be a waste."
Huo Jinying, who was about to pour the soy milk, thought the same and only poured a small amount for Xia Mi.
"If you like to drink, pour it yourself."
Xia Mi took the bowl and smiled reluctantly, "I won't be polite."
Even though such a long time had passed, when Xia Mi smelled the aroma of soy milk while reading, her stomach reacted before her face and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She picked up the bowl and took a sip, the soy milk spreading between her lips and teeth.
Xia Mi swallowed a small mouthful with difficulty, "It seems that I am not worthy of it."
People around could understand it. After all, only a small number of people could afford to eat it, and no one blamed Xia Mi for wasting it.
Huo Jingchen handed the cup to Xia Mi, "Auntie Liu, please help me change the bowl."
When Aunt Liu heard the instruction, she quickly took out a bowl and replaced it.
Xia Mi took several sips of water before the taste gradually faded from her mouth.
"If you don't want to drink it next time, don't drink it. Don't eat this either." Huo Jingchen took the fried dough sticks in front of her, picked up the bowl and served Xia Mi a bowl of white porridge.
Xia Mi nodded silently. She thought that the soy milk of this era would taste a little better, but it turned out that she was just careless.
I almost cried out in front of everyone at the table.
After breakfast, except for Huo Jingting and Huo Yanshan, everyone else set out to go to the morning market.
Although it was called an early gathering, by the time Xia Mi and the others arrived, most people had already dispersed and it was not as lively as before.
"I know a ready-made clothing store that makes beautiful clothes. I'll take you to make two sets of clothes after we're done shopping." Zhao Min held Xia Mi's hand and had already made the next arrangements.
After the morning crowd had almost dispersed, Zhao Min led everyone to the clothing store.
Zhao Min began to introduce the store. "This store was only opened last month, and the orders have been placed until next month. When the clothes are ready, I will send them to you, or you can just stay in the capital for a while."
"Mom, your daughter-in-law is not an idler. She has to go back to work."
Zhao Min glared at Huo Jingchen and asked, "Are you so poor that you have to rely on your wife to work to support you?"
"Mom, this is not a matter of money. It's because the island is short of teachers. If I don't go back, my studies will be delayed and it will cause trouble for others." Xia Mi took Zhao Min's hand, and the two of them moved intimately. "Just do as mom said and send the clothes over when they are ready."
