Chapter 30 Happiness depends on everyone
Xia Mi was glad that she left quickly, not knowing that this topic was brought up by her.
After returning home, Xia Mi walked on the stone road carrying the vegetables she bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. Looking at the bare yard, she decided to learn from others and grow some vegetables.
The island supply and marketing cooperative is not small, and daily necessities, vegetables and meat can be bought there.
But there are few varieties of vegetables, so she can use the mall to buy more vegetable seeds and spread them in the yard.
Having used an earthen stove last time, Xia Mi had gained experience, so this time she was much more skilled at making fire and cooking.
Steaming rice and stir-frying vegetables, two dishes were prepared in less than an hour.
At noon, Huo Jingchen came back.
He took off his coat, walked to the sink to wash his hands, and then came to help Xia Mi serve the meal.
"I have something to tell you. Your work has made progress. Principal Wang came to me again today and said that he hopes you can go as soon as possible. While Jing Xiaoran is here, you can focus on training."
Xia Mi knew before that Jing Xiaoran was a college student. It was a good thing to have such a rare talent to provide training for teachers.
"If you don't want to go, I'll tell Principal Wang to go later."
The current Zhuifeng Primary School is a den of wolves and tigers for Huo Jingchen. Having Yan Yiming is not enough, there is also Jing Xiaoran who may explode at any time.
Just thinking about it made his temples throb.
"Go, there's a chance to learn, how can I let it go?"
Xia Mi disagreed, "I can go tomorrow. I'll ask Sister Shengmei about the location of the elementary school this afternoon. You don't have to worry about other things."
"Don't bother her. I'll take you there after dinner to get you familiar with the route. The elementary school is five kilometers away from our home."
When Xia Mi heard that she would have to walk ten kilometers round trip, she immediately felt discouraged.
I walk five kilometers to work, and then walk five kilometers back after a day's work. I'm so tired that I have no temper.
"What are you worried about? Didn't I buy you a bicycle?" Huo Jingchen saw that her brows were drooping and her bright eyes dimmed.
"I forgot, it's convenient to have a car!"
Xia Mi was motivated again. Yes, how could she have forgotten her bike? "Tell me when you feel tired and I'll ride you there. Don't get tired."
Xia Mi swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "It's okay. I can do it."
Huo Jingchen raised his eyebrows and laughed softly, "This is the hardest mouth in my body."
"Don't be stubborn when you encounter something. If you encounter something uncomfortable, don't put yourself in a difficult position as long as you are right. I will protect you. Don't be afraid of getting into trouble."
These words touched people's hearts, causing ripples.
It made her feel warm inside, and she nodded and said yes, as obedient as a rabbit. - Huo Jingchen rode his bike with Xia Mi to find the way. The distance of five kilometers was not long, but it was not short either.
The bicycle was driving on the uneven road, and the bike was often bumpy. Every time it bumped, Xia Mi was worried about being thrown off, so she hugged Huo Jingchen's waist tightly.
Huo Jingchen was full of energy and it only took him fifteen minutes to reach Zhuifeng Primary School.
A small character on the signboard of the school name of Zhuifeng Primary School was missing, and at first glance, only the three words "Zhuifeng School" are left.
"I almost remember it. Let's go back."
Xia Mi had no plans to go in. She had to work tomorrow, so she could come back tomorrow.
Huo Jingchen led the person in regardless and said, "Since we are here, let's take a look before we leave."
After the two entered the door, the old man at the door limped towards the office, and soon Principal Wang appeared.
"Captain Huo, Comrade Xia, welcome, welcome to visit Zhuifeng Primary School."
Principal Wang was wearing a blue military uniform and an olive green marching cap. He was thin, about 1.75 meters tall, with a round face and sunken cheeks.
His eyes are full of vitality and sparkling, and with a kind smile, just one glance can give people infinite power.
"Principal Wang, this is my love, Xia Mi."
Xia Mi extended her hand and greeted, "Hello, Principal Wang, I'm Xia Mi."
"Hello, I heard a few days ago that Captain Huo married a beautiful lesbian. When I saw her today, she was really as good as the rumors said."
Principal Wang was very enthusiastic. When he saw Xia Mi coming, he guessed that she must have agreed to come and be a teacher.
He first expressed the difficulties of the school, and then revealed the monthly subsidy of 20 yuan.
Xia Mi is only responsible for the Chinese language subjects for grades one and two, and doesn't need to worry about anything else.
As he was talking, Principal Wang suddenly realized, "By the way, Comrade Xia, a top student from Imperial University came to the island these days to give training to our teachers. He is in the office now. How about we go over and take a look?"
"Okay." Xia Mi agreed readily.
Huo Jingchen beside her said nothing, silently shortening the distance between him and Xia Mi, and his emotional state was clear at a glance.
I could hear the sound of discussion before I even reached the office, among which Jing Xiaoran's voice was the most prominent, and the others were obviously agreeing with her.
Principal Wang knocked on the door, attracting everyone's attention.
"Hello teachers, let me introduce you. This is a new teacher in our school. He came here early today to take a look."
After Principal Wang finished speaking, he signaled Xia Mi to introduce herself.
Xia Mi briefly introduced herself based on the original owner's academic qualifications.
Among the five people, Jing Xiaoran and Yan Yiming looked at her the most passionately, as if they wanted to stare a hole through her.
When Jing Xiaoran heard that Xia Mi only had a technical secondary school degree, a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes.
Then everyone introduced themselves, and after a round, they started to get to know each other.
"What a coincidence, Comrade Xia. Teacher Yan is also from Suzhou. You two are from the same hometown, right? Teacher Yan, why aren't you a little more enthusiastic? When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears."
A female teacher started to make a fuss.
Yan Yiming couldn't laugh at all. He smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman on Wind Chasing Island..."
Xia Mi looked at Yan Yiming coldly, pretending not to know him. She also didn't want to have anything to do with such a person.
Principal Wang was moved and looked at the four people and said, "It is really fate. Teacher Yan and Teacher Xia are from the same hometown, and Teacher Jing and Captain Huo are from the same hometown."
Then a strange atmosphere surrounded the four people.
"It's not fate. Teacher Jing and I already knew each other. I watched her grow up."
Huo Jingchen was frank and did not deliberately hide the relationship between him and Jing Xiaoran, for fear that if he did not tell others, it would cause trouble in the future.
What do you mean by "watched her grow up"? This is what the elders always say.
Jing Xiaoran's polite smile froze on her face as she looked at Huo Jingchen at a loss.
Someone said, "We are from the same academy, so it's a great fate. But Teacher Jing is 24 this year, and Captain Huo looks quite young."
Huo Jingchen raised his eyelids, his emotion was very calm, and his tone of voice was light.
"Just watching. I have the advantage of looking young. It took me a lot of effort to get married in my thirties. You all have to help take care of me. There are many cases of wives running away these days. My marital happiness depends on you all."
Xia Mi's breathing stagnated, as if she had become accustomed to the man's style.
Jing Xiaoran's pupils trembled, and he clenched his hands into fists, letting his nails sink into his palms.
This was the first time she saw Huo Jingchen being so possessive of someone. He clearly hated people with connections the most, but now he had become the person he hated.
She didn't understand what was wrong with her. Yan Yiming was also feeling bad. Yesterday, Li Jiajia came and had a fight with him, and now it was so serious that they wanted to break up.
He thought he could use his status as a colleague and senior to suppress Xia Mi, hoping that she would not influence him again in the future, but Huo Jingchen ended up doing this.
Huo Jingchen: If you are thin-skinned, you won't get anything. If you are thick-skinned, you will get plenty! (End of this chapter)
