Chapter 40 Sending My Daughter into the Fire Pit
"It should be the time when you go on a business trip."
Huo Jingchen's eyebrows showed impatience, "Can you handle it alone at home?"
"Of course. You didn't come when I got married, but you came to visit me half a month after the wedding. I feel like it's not just a simple visit."
Xia Mi almost told them about the begging, "But judging from the letter, they don't seem to know that I married you. It was Yan Yiming."
Huo Jingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, his dark eyes showing pride, "Isn't it good? There is no harm without comparison."
“…”
This person's speech is still as sarcastic as ever.
"I will take care of this matter. You can go on your business trip without worrying about it. You don't have to affect your work because of me."
Some things should be understood. Huo Jingchen's rank cannot be hidden, and the important thing is to keep his family background secret.
The Xia family is very proud, so they won't be too embarrassed if they make a fuss.
"Well, I'll back you up. As long as it doesn't violate the law, I won't let you suffer any injustice."
Xia Mi rested her head on his back and looked out at the sea in the distance. "Do we really have to add a law to spoil such a touching story?"
Huo Jingchen laughed quietly. -When I got home, it was only 4:30, so it was still too early to make dinner.
After sending Xia Mi home, Huo Jingchen returned to the army.
"Report, Captain Huo, there is a letter for you." The person from the message room came over to deliver the letter.
Huo Jingchen hummed, his tone cold, "Put it on the table."
After Huo Jingchen finished the things at hand, he looked up at the yellow envelope on the table, took it and opened it.
When his eyes fell on the sender of the letter, Huo Yanshan, Huo Jingchen opened the drawer without thinking and put the letter in. The letters in the drawer had already piled up into a small mountain.
The second letter was from Huo Jinying, and he opened it.
Two-thirds of the letter was about denouncing him for being selfish and having a mistress, and the last third was about serious business.
This is indeed Huo Jinying's usual style.
What she meant was that she would have a holiday in two days, and she wanted to come to Zhuifeng Island to visit her relatives. The time happened to be set at the beginning of the month, so she wanted to confirm whether Huo Jingchen would be on the island during that time.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind and remembered that the Xia family would also be coming.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the man, his angular face had three-dimensional features, his expression was dull, and his eyes gradually became playful.
He was conflicted again, worried that Huo Jinying would come and make a big fuss, which would put Xia Mi in a difficult position.
The pen cap was opened and closed repeatedly, and Huo Jingchen was wavering. Finally, after three minutes, he took out a piece of letter paper and quickly wrote a reply on it.
"What are you writing about? Why are you so focused?"
Li Weimin knocked on Huo Jingchen's office door.
"A letter from home." Huo Jingchen raised his head and glanced at the instructor briefly before quickly finishing his letter.
Li Weimin glanced at the letter in his hand and said, "I never thought that I would hear the word 'family letter' from you in my lifetime."
"But whose family only writes three lines of words in a letter?"
Huo Jingchen assembled it and took out glue to stick the stamps on. "The essence is concentrated. My family doesn't like to read long articles."
Li Weimin also knew that he couldn't win the argument with Huo Jingchen. "I just received news that new machines will be introduced next month. Your business trip may be extended. Be prepared."
"Okay." Huo Jingchen was now more convinced that it was right for him to reply to the letter.
After finishing his business, Li Weimin turned to personal matters. "Please say thank you to Xia Mi for Jia Jia's matter."
"Thank her for what?"
"Thanks to her for letting Jia Jia see Yan Yiming's true face, and also letting me see this brat clearly. I didn't expect that he was such a vain person behind the scenes."
Huo Jingchen pulled his lips, "You stopped me from marrying her at the beginning. If I hadn't married her, you and your sister-in-law would have obediently sent your daughter into the fire pit with your own hands."
"What you said is true. I am under pressure too. In the six years since you came here, Lao Jiang and I have been half of the communications company. The most we do is to pass messages to you and your son."
"Now that you have a family, have you ever thought about when to go back? Are you going to stay on this island forever?"
In Li Weimin's opinion, Huo Jingchen still has a lot of room for advancement. He has academic qualifications and a good brain, so it is only a matter of time before he gets promoted.
"We'll talk about the future later." Huo Jingchen did not answer directly.
Li Weimin was not surprised, as he had always been perfunctory when asked this question over the years.
I thought Huo Jingchen would change his mind after getting married, but it seems that Xia Mi's appearance couldn't shake him. - "Captain Huo really loves his wife and even personally sends her to and from work."
Xia Mi locked the door and just sat in the back seat when she ran into Jiang Shengmei.
Captain Jiang, who was walking around in the yard, froze when he heard this. He hurried to the door and saw Huo Jingchen riding his bike and carrying Xia Mi away.
When Jiang Shengmei looked up again, she saw her husband standing at the door.
Captain Jiang coughed dryly, "What are you looking at? Didn't I pick you up and drop you off when I was in the military academy?"
"We are an old married couple, and I can't even look at you. I didn't say anything, why are you panicking?"
Jiang Weidong returned to the yard with his hands behind his back, "Xiao Huo will only be spoiled if he continues like this. Look at what he has become after being spoiled."
"She's not your wife, so I advise you not to stretch your hand too far."
"Even if I reach out, he may not listen. He doesn't even listen to his father, let alone me."
Jiang Shengmei stopped watering the vegetables and asked, "Speaking of this, does Minister Huo know that Captain Huo is married?"
"I knew it earlier." Jiang Weidong pulled his coat closer and slowly walked into the house.
On the other side, Xia Mi arrived at school.
When she stepped into the office, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. It was quiet a few days ago, but everyone was busy with their own work.
Today, on the contrary, there is a sense of being busy looking for things to do.
Xia Mi returned to her seat and found that Zhao Xiaoying's face looked as ugly as if she had eaten a fly.
Zhao Xiaoying opened the notebook, wrote a sentence on it, and then pushed the notebook in front of Xia Mi.
[Jing Xiaoran said that she would return to the capital the day after tomorrow. Principal Wang went to look for Sister Fang, but she was not at home. She had gone to Qingcheng.]
Xia Mi's eyebrows jumped when she saw this. No wonder the atmosphere was so depressing.
Zhou Fang is in charge of Chinese and ideology and morality for two senior grades, Zhao Xiaoying and Xia Mi are in charge of Chinese for grades one to four, Yan Yiming is the math teacher for grades one, two and three, and Principal Wang is the math teacher for grades four, five and six.
There were six people, which was just right, but suddenly one of them left.
Xia Mi pursed her lips and wrote down the question, "Has Principal Wang expressed his opinion?"
After reading it, Zhao Xiaoying shook her head silently.
Yan Yiming stood up, and the stool rubbed against the floor, making a loud noise, and soon clanging sounds were heard outside.
Zhao Xiaoying was the first to leave the classroom, followed by Gu Cancan.
"Xia Mi, I'm going back the day after tomorrow. I want to see Huo Jingchen again before I leave."
"You want to see him and tell me what to do."
Xia Mi walked out holding the book, and Jing Xiaoran hurriedly caught up with her, "I said I won't be a third party, or are you insecure and afraid?"
She thought to herself, what a low-level method of provoking someone.
"I'm not Huo Jingchen's guardian. It's his freedom for a 30-year-old man to meet whomever he wants. You're asking the wrong person."
Jing Xiaoran watched Xia Mi leave quickly with depression.
If she could meet Huo Jingchen, would she still come to find Xia Mi?
