Chapter 65 You pulled the wrong one!
Zhao Xiaoying's eyes were red and she inhaled cold air into her lungs. She stood and took several deep breaths before she could barely regain her rhythm.
"Teacher Xia, can I borrow your car tomorrow?"
Zhao Xiaoying sniffed and said, "Come to school tomorrow and I'll borrow it from you. I'll be back before I get off work in the evening."
"good."
Xia Mi agreed.
Zhao Xiaoying forced a smile and thanked him, "Thank you, don't worry, I will definitely be back soon."
Xia Mi nodded, and seeing that the man looked like he could break at any time, she suppressed her doubts and didn't intend to say any more.
Seeing Xia Mi was about to leave, Zhao Xiaoying couldn't help but call her back again, "Teacher Xia, do you think I should stay here or go to another place with Jiang Jie to develop?"
"This is your own problem. The choice is yours and should not be given to others."
To meddle in other people's emotional problems is to dig your own grave.
Xia Mi was clear-headed and didn't want to get involved. "Teacher Zhao, no one else can help you with this matter. I can only be a listener at best. There is really nothing else I can do to help."
Zhao Xiaoying understood the logic, but now her mind was in a mess.
Plans cannot keep up with changes. Yesterday she was still looking forward to the days on the island with Jiang Jie. When she returned last night, Jiang Jie told her that he wanted to return to his hometown to develop.
If she was willing to follow him to Haicheng to develop, he would marry her. If she didn't go, the two would have no choice but to break up.
Reason told her that going to Haicheng would be a good thing, but what about her parents?
She also has a younger brother who is attending high school in Qingcheng. His brother is so young that he can't take care of his parents at all.
As she was thinking, Zhao Xiaoying stood there and entered a dead end again. She didn't even hear Xia Mi saying goodbye to her. She was in a daze. -Lin Qianyue followed Xia Mi obediently.
"Teacher Xia, you bought so much food, can you and Uncle Huo finish it?"
Lin Qianyue stared at the big bag of vegetables and meat in Xia Mi's hand. Normally, his aunt would never buy so much, and every time she took out the money, she did it with her back teeth gritted.
"I can definitely finish it. I definitely can't finish it in one day. I can finish it after eating for a few days."
After Xia Mi's explanation, Lin Qian became more confused, "Yes, then why does Aunt buy so little each time?"
Next time, he must ask his aunt to buy more, preferably more meat and peach cakes, so that he can eat as much as he wants! There were too many things to carry, and Xia Mi was worried that the front bag would not be able to bear the weight. In addition, the road was bumpy, so Xia Mi sought Lin Qianyue's help.
She bought him a few pieces of fermented rice cake. Lin Qianyue sat in the back seat, holding Xia Mi's things tightly.
The aroma of glutinous rice cake wafted out. Whenever Lin Qianyue's hands felt sore, he would lower his head and take a sniff, and his whole body would be filled with strength.
Xia Mi originally wanted to ride up the hill in one breath, but she overestimated her strength and she clearly felt the bike sliding backwards.
In a hurry, she wanted to step on the brakes first and then get out of the car to stabilize it.
Before she stepped on the brakes, the car was stabilized by someone, and a big hand suddenly appeared and held her hand.
"I feel so strong today. It seems that the chicken soup I drank was not in vain." The man's deep and magnetic voice sounded in my ears.
Xia Mi turned her head and saw Huo Jingchen's profile right in front of her, and a familiar smell entered her nose.
"You drank too, so you must have no strength left. I'm already halfway up the slope, so just be a good person and help me push up."
Huo Jingchen was amused by Xia Mi's remarks, "Do you think chicken soup is a panacea?"
"Didn't you think so first?" Xia Mi raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Jingchen provocatively, "Captain Huo, we are in trouble."
Huo Jingchen smiled helplessly, and really maintained this posture to push Xia Mi and Lin Qianyue up the slope.
Two steps away from home, Jiang Shengmei came back carrying firewood and happened to see this scene.
"The couple has a really good relationship, but if they don't ride the car but push it up, wouldn't that be a waste of money to buy the car?"
Jiang Shengmei was still worried that she had misunderstood, "Is there something wrong with the car?"
Lin Qianyue sat in the back seat and didn't move. "Aunt, the bike is not broken. It's just that Teacher Xia couldn't pedal anymore, so Uncle Huo came to help."
During the conversation, Xia Mi had already gotten out of the car, and it looked like she and Huo Jingchen were holding onto the car and walking up together.
"I bought too many things and the slope was too high, so I couldn't get up in one go." As long as Xia Mi was sure, it would definitely not be her problem.
Jiang Shengmei did not interrupt and continued talking along with her.
"Yes, sometimes I have to rest for a while when carrying water on this slope." Jiang Shengmei called Lin Qianyue back home, "Qianyue, we have already passed the gate, don't embarrass your uncle Huo, come down."
Xia Mi took the dish from his hand, and Lin Qianyue, carrying his schoolbag and holding the fermented rice cake, happily jumped to find Jiang Shengmei.
When she got home, Xia Mi noticed that there were a lot of weeds growing in the vegetable garden next to her as soon as she entered the door.
Huo Jingchen parked the car and helped carry the things. "Why did you get off work so early today?"
After Xia Mi put the vegetables in the kitchen, she prepared to weed the weeds in the yard. The weeds had absorbed the nutrients from the fertilizers they had spread and were growing wildly over the past few days.
"I finished my patrol early today, so there's nothing to do in the army. By the way, I have to go to Qingcheng tomorrow and will be back in the evening, so you don't have to save any food for me."
Huo Jingchen had never done farm work before. He squatted in the soil with Xia Mi and imitated her way of pulling weeds. "Are we going to pull all these out?"
"Yes." Xia Mi agreed, then looked up to check anxiously, "Huo Jingchen, you pulled the wrong one!"
The seedlings were pulled out of the soil with their roots and mud. Xia Mi's heart was bleeding when she saw it. She quickly stood up, snatched the seedlings from the man's hand, and carefully buried them back.
"Then tell me which ones need to be removed?"
Huo Jingchen did not quit because of being scolded. Instead, he started to learn from Xia Mi.
Looking at her slender fingers stained with mud, she weeded quickly and even threw the weeds away skillfully.
"Some of the grass is sharp. You'd better wear gloves next time, or wait until I'm free and I'll do it."
After this part was taken care of, Xia Mi turned her back and said, "I asked you to do everything. Do you want to treat me like a waste?"
Most of the heavy work at home is done by Huo Jingchen. If he takes on all the detailed work, it will become gossip material if it gets out.
Besides, she enjoys doing these things, and growing vegetables gives her a sense of accomplishment.
"This piece of land isn't very big. I can finish it quickly by myself."
Xia Mi found it very relaxing to pull the weeds out. Besides, the soil had been turned over not long ago, so the weeds were easily pulled out without any effort at all.
The leaves are still tender, so they don't cut your hands, but they do rub against your palms and make you feel itchy.
"You grew up in Suzhou, how could you do this?"
Huo Jingchen was curious. Xia Mi didn't have a life of luxury since she was a child, but she wasn't far behind either. As a result, she was now very good at growing vegetables and weeding.
"It's not always like that. After the incident, we have to grow our own vegetables. It's best not to spend money. If we are recognized by people in the neighborhood, the supply and marketing cooperative will not be willing to sell to us."
"When Xia Yaoyao came to visit, did she mention the names of your biological parents?"
Xia Mi threw the weeds aside and waited for them to dry before using them for fire. This kind of grass was perfect for starting a fire.
"It seems like there were. One was surnamed Li and the other was surnamed Sang. I don't remember clearly."
The original owner's mind was filled with the thought of staying in the Xia family, so he had no time to listen to these things.
