Chapter 42: The words of a ruthless person
Xia Mi’s smile was stiff. Who could control the words of this sister-in-law?
Fan Chunhua noticed Xia Mi's embarrassment, and after she had laughed enough, she asked her, "By the way, I heard that Captain Huo is going on a business trip next week. It would be troublesome for you to cook by yourself, Xia Mi, why don't you just come to my house for dinner."
"No need, sister-in-law. I'll eat at school at noon, and I'll have enough time to cook when I get home in the evening."
Xia Mi politely declined Fan Chunhua's kindness.
On the way back, Xia Mi silently quickened her pace, fearing that she would meet other people on the way.
When she got home, she sat in the yard and scrubbed the oysters clean. She had a slight sweat on her forehead when she finished scrubbing all the oysters. She looked at the oysters in the basin.
Twenty-five, is it really a bit too much? Xia Mi quickly shook her head and threw the garbage out of her mind. What was she thinking? If this thing was really a men's gas station, it would definitely be snapped up by people.
She washed them and put them in a pot to steam. After three minutes of steaming, the oysters were open and it was easy to open them.
After breaking the oysters open, Xia Mi mixed minced garlic with the chopped pepper sauce bought from the mall, spread it evenly on each oyster, and then steamed them.
Heat oil in another small pot. When the oysters are steamed, pour the hot oil on them with an iron spoon and the oysters will sizzle.
Soon the fragrance filled the whole room.
Then she processed the remaining snails and shrimps. Worried that someone might eat them, Xia Mi only dared to put in a little hot pot base and replaced the rest with bean paste.
As the last dry pot mixed snail and shrimp dish came out of the oven, Huo Jingchen arrived home, followed by Shi Daqiang.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to have a free meal." Before Shi Daqiang entered the house, his voice was the first to enter.
As soon as Shi Daqiang entered the kitchen, he took a deep breath of the fragrance and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't mind, do you? I was the one who insisted on following the battalion commander."
"I don't mind, but I haven't cooked much rice. You bring the dishes in first and I'll make some noodles."
"Okay, I'll light the fire for you after I get it."
Shi Daqiang was quick and agile. He came in, washed the dishes and took them out, and then took over Xia Mi's job of lighting the fire.
After the noodles were cooked, he rushed to serve them.
While eating, Shi Daqiang was eating garlic oysters. "Sister-in-law, why do you always make these in a weird way? Is this sauce just sour and chili? It's obviously steamed, so why do I smell the aroma of oil?"
"Even eating can't stop you from talking. I promised to let you come for a meal, not to let you come to interview your sister-in-law."
Shi Daqiang kept silent, nodded, and continued eating.
Xia Mi hadn't even answered a word when she saw Shi Daqiang like this and curled the corners of her lips.
After dinner, Shi Daqiang was incredibly active and rushed to wash the dishes. After washing, he quietly discussed things with Xia Mi.
"Sister-in-law, can you teach me how to make that dish you just mentioned? I'll go back and teach the people in the cafeteria so that they can learn it as well."
Huo Jingchen stood outside the door and took in the whole scene. He watched Xia Mi tuck her hair behind her ears, smiled, then raised her head and spoke to the person next to her.
"This dish is difficult to prepare, so let's not embarrass the comrades in the cafeteria."
Shi Daqiang didn't ask any more questions. He washed the dishes and left wisely. He walked to the door and stood before Huo Jingchen closed it.
He smiled and said, "Captain, I still have two meals left. When can you come and eat?"
"I haven't had many meals yet, but you're thinking about the next two. I'll tell your sister-in-law in advance when you come. Go back."
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely have a pair of qualified eyes!" After saying this, Shi Daqiang still widened his eyes.
Huo Jingchen closed the door mercilessly. "Don't do such scary things in the middle of the night."
"Yes, Battalion Commander!" Shi Daqiang shouted through the door.
“…”
Because the toilet was outside, Xia Mi had to walk through the yard before entering the house after taking a shower.
The temperature in the middle of the night was still freezing, so she went back to her room, her body shaking uncontrollably. She wiped her feet and lay down on the bed.
After a tiring day, she felt sleepy as her head touched the pillow.
Huo Jingchen walked in, steaming hot. The lights flickered, a warning that it was time to turn off the lights.
Xia Mi felt the quilt being lifted and someone lying down. Her eyelids were too heavy and she prepared to continue sleeping.
"Xia Mi."
No one answered. Huo Jingchen looked at the woman who was breathing deeply.
Xia Mi felt dazed and couldn't breathe, and breathing gradually became difficult.
She opened her eyes, and in the dark night, the man's hot breath sprayed on her neck, and Xia Mi felt scared.
"I haven't recovered yet..."
The man questioned in a low voice. In the dark and quiet room, every move he made Xia Mi nervous.
"You're so energetic and energetic now, but you haven't recovered yet?"
Xia Mi was no longer sleepy, and her cheeks began to feel hot when she thought about what was going to happen next.
"I."
Just like last time, the soft lips blocked what she was about to say.
The man let Xia Mi go only when she was about to suffocate from the kiss.
"You made so much, aren't you afraid that I might have problems eating it?"
His movements were not big enough to make people moan softly.
"What are you making? Can't I eat it? Besides, Daqiang is here to share with you."
"At this time, you still mention other men?"
Xia Mi wanted to refute, but Huo Jingchen turned her over so that her back was facing her, and put his big hands on her slender waist, pressing down hard so that the hollow of her waist sank slightly.
She had difficulty breathing and squeezed out a word through her pearly teeth, "Bastard." - When she woke up the next day, Xia Mi had already blacklisted oysters in her mind. No matter whether they were effective or not, they would never appear in her home again.
She got up and breakfast was already on the table.
Xia Mi knew that usually Huo Jingchen had urgent matters to deal with in the army and could not have breakfast with her.
Fortunately, this time was not as serious as last time, but riding a bike was still torture for Xia Mi.
"Xia Mi, there is good news!"
Zhao Xiaoying quickly invited her in, and Gu Cancan was also waiting on the side.
Xia Mi put her bag away and asked, "What's the good news?"
"We may have some new teachers after next month. Principal Wang just came to inform us that this time it's for real."
"Finally I can take a breath." Gu Cancan sighed, and suddenly thought of something, "In that case, do we need to build a new dormitory?"
Zhao Xiaoying spoke the truth. "We should copy the warehouse. New teachers need money, including salary and allowance. Our school doesn't have money. It's OK as long as we don't delay the salary like last year."
After hearing this, Gu Cancan no longer expected the school to improve the accommodation environment, as long as they paid her salary on time.
"Teacher Gu, something bad has happened. Zhang Zijie got into a fight and got sick!"
Suddenly, a group of children came running in from outside, shouting that something had happened and that something was wrong, and the office was suddenly in an uproar.
All the teachers followed the children out.
By the fifth grade, Zhang Zijie's face had turned the color of liver, and he kept patting his chest. From his expression, it was clear that he was in great pain.
"Teacher Zhao, I didn't mean to do that. It was Zhang Zijie who tried to steal my eraser. My mom bought me a new eraser, and he ate it."
When the bullied girl saw the teacher coming, she was so scared that she burst into tears and hurriedly explained.
"What? He ate an eraser! Let's take him to the hospital. Zhang Zijie doesn't look well."
Gu Cancan was also panicked. She watched the usually lively and naughty child gradually lose reaction and fall to the ground.
