Chapter 66: No Oil in the Stomach
Apart from Xia Yaoyao's memories at the beginning of the novel, the author directly lets Xia Yaoyao and the Xia family recognize each other. The author has not talked about Xia Yaoyao's life in her adoptive parents' home.
"I met a comrade when I went to South City this time. I felt that he was a bit like the uncle you mentioned last time. His last name was Sang."
When parting with his eldest brother, Huo Jingchen asked him for Sangqi's address.
When he left Nancheng, he wrote a letter to Sang Qi, asking him where his hometown was and asking him to help investigate Xia Yaoyao's past life.
These days, Huo Jingchen has been waiting for Sang Qi's reply.
After pulling out the weeds, Xia Mi carefully recalled the content of the novel and it seemed that there was indeed no mention of a character named Sangqi.
"It shouldn't be such a coincidence. Besides, my parents are dead. I am their only child. My biological father doesn't have many relatives."
Huo Jingchen comforted her, "It's been so long, do you want to go back and take a look?"
Xia Mi didn't want to do that in her heart, but that was her thought. Putting herself in the original owner's shoes, she changed her words, "I want to go back and visit and sweep the graves when I have the chance."
Whether it is or not, we just need to wait for Sangqi to find out.
Seeing that she wasn't very interested, Huo Jingchen changed the topic to another one. - Suzhou.
Xia Yaoyao returned home under the moonlight, her face full of frustration.
"Yaoyao, haven't you been on day shift recently? Why do you come back so late every day?" Li Yinshuang was worried and had been waiting for Xia Yaoyao at the entrance of the alley every day.
Seeing her daughter's loss, Li Yinshuang took the initiative to ask, "Did you go to see Sang Qi again?"
Xia Yaoyao agreed without saying anything and walked into the house, "I've been gone for half a month, why hasn't Secretary Sang come back yet?"
"Let's eat first." Li Yinshuang went to the kitchen and brought out the vegetable porridge that was hot in the pot, as well as a plate of green vegetables. "Let's talk after we finish eating."
Xia Yaoyao looked at the vegetables and porridge and felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
"Mom, why are there vegetables again? Didn't we just get paid?"
After eating pickles, green vegetables and porridge for a month, she had no appetite for meat and had been craving meat recently.
I thought I could eat some meat after getting my salary, but it turned out to be only vegetables.
She was already feeling upset because she hadn't seen Sang Qi, and when she came back and saw the vegetable porridge she had vomited on was served on the table again, Xia Yaoyao's face turned green.
Li Yinshuang looked embarrassed, "Your father used it to exchange for a refrigerator ticket for the factory."
"What?" Xia Yaoyao put down the spoon and looked at Li Yinshuang in shock. "What did Dad use in exchange? Our salary?"
Li Yinshuang looked away, not daring to look directly at the person opposite her, and was intent on making excuses for her husband.
"Yaoyao, your dad is doing this for the good of our family. More friends means more paths. Your dad did nothing wrong."
"But our family doesn't need a separate house. Does Dad want to be recognized as an advanced worker?"
Xia Yaoyao felt extremely powerless.
"Mom, didn't I tell you I was going to find Sanqi?"
"Sang Qi is not that easy to get close to. If anyone hears about our situation, let alone being a niece, even if you are his biological niece, you will have to cut off all ties with him!"
Li Yinshuang was also in a dilemma. "Besides, this doesn't conflict with you going to find him. Your dad can have another way out if he does this."
"..." Xia Yaoyao could not make any other sound except sighing.
She looked at the food on the table and lost her appetite. She quickly made a decision, "I will keep my salary myself from now on."
"This... Yaoyao, don't be angry with your dad. He is not like this every time. Your dad's decisions are always correct."
Xia Yaoyao's expression was serious, she no longer looked as well-behaved as usual, and her eyes were serious.
"Mom, if you don't want me to interfere with Dad's decision, then I hope you don't interfere with mine. Dad and I both want to make our family better."
Since Xia Yaoyao came to the Xia family, she has basically never made any mistakes in her suggestions.
After Li Yinshuang came to her senses, she nodded and agreed to Xia Yaoyao.
"I still have some living expenses here. If you really don't want to eat, go to the restaurant and have a bowl of noodles." Li Yinshuang said as she started to rummage through the biscuit box.
Xia Yaoyao stopped her, "No need, I'll just eat something and go to sleep."
I can only eat vegetable porridge when I just get my salary, so there is definitely not much left for living expenses.
"By the way, where's my brother? I haven't seen him for a month." Xia Yaoyao picked up the small bowl resignedly.
"Your brother is fine. I heard that he is dating an intern from the workshop recently. He doesn't want to travel back and forth, so he has been living in the dormitory. If you miss him, I will ask him to come home next time."
"No."
She knew her eldest brother's girlfriend. Although she was a bit vulgar, it was often people like her who could live a good life.
It was at the instigation of my eldest sister-in-law that my eldest brother started a home appliance repair business early on and he is making a decent living.
In her previous life, she also knew about the Xia family through her eldest sister-in-law.
At that time, the Xia family had recovered its former glory, and my sister-in-law came to the factory to show off.
Li Yinshuang looked at her daughter with heartache.
Xia Yaoyao's compromise brought Li Yinshuang's shame, "Yaoyao, wait a minute, mom will fry an egg for you."
Xia Yaoyao didn't refuse. She really couldn't hold on any longer if she didn't eat something oily.
"Mom, let me help you light the fire."
Xia Yaoyao wanted to eat the fried eggs as soon as possible.
Heat the pan and pour in oil. The moment the eggs are put into the pan, they start to sizzle and the aroma is soon released.
Xia Yaoyao's depressed mood after a day finally eased at this moment. -Since Zhao Xiaoying borrowed the car, she didn't show any other emotions, and she was the same as before.
It was not until half a month later that she suddenly asked to resign and leave Zhuifeng Island.
After school, everyone was getting ready to leave. When Principal Wang came to the office to announce the news, everyone who was packing up was stunned, and then there was an uproar.
Among them, Zhou Fang and Gu Cancan were the most excited. When they learned that she was going to get married and go to Haicheng to develop, their reluctance turned into sincere blessings.
"I will buy some groceries and treat everyone to a meal tomorrow. We'll eat at school." Zhao Xiaoying didn't even have time to wipe away her tears.
"Teacher Xia, you must come this time."
Xia Mi agreed, "Okay, tomorrow is a day off, I'll go shopping with you."
"Then I'll be in charge of cooking."
"I'll light the fire."
"I'll wash the dishes!"
Xia Mi just took the lead and everyone already had a clear division of labor.
Principal Wang was helpless. "You guys are doing all the work, what should I do? How about this? I'll pay for it."
"Principal, you have taken good care of us over the years, so you should just be responsible for the meals."
Zhao Xiaoying's proposal was passed unanimously, and everyone was advising Principal Wang to just be responsible for eating.
"Teacher Xia, I want to go to your beach tomorrow to see if there is anything I can pick up."
"Okay, then I'll go directly to the beach tomorrow. You wait for me there. I can also bring some things from home."
Xia Mi considered that there had been no high tide or typhoon recently, so there shouldn't be much, so she could only knock on the oysters.
Order more to make an oyster pancake, and the braised clams are enough for two dishes, both of which are meat dishes.
"Teacher Xia, can you come and see me off when I leave?" Zhao Xiaoying suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"My home is far from the dock. My mom cut her foot while working at sea and can't walk far. My dad still has to go to work. I want someone to take me there."
