Chapter 74: Heartless People
Huo Jingchen looked in the direction she pointed, and what came into view was a ship. The ship was not small and seemed to be equipped with an internal combustion engine.
This is definitely not the commune’s ship. The commune’s ships are not that good. Besides, this is the army’s sea area.
"It's over, boss. Have we been discovered?"
Sun Dazhuang said calmly, "What are you afraid of? They are on the shore, and their guns can't reach that far. Stay calm and don't panic."
"The man surnamed Huo is very cunning. It looks like we can't come for a month or so. He is extremely suspicious. Last time in Qingcheng, he sent all five of us brothers to jail."
Mao Tan was so angry that he said, "How about we take advantage of the fact that there are fewer people now and rush over to kill him?"
"Idiot." Wang Er cursed first, "If you want to die, I won't stop you. Just jump in and swim over by yourself. Don't drag me and the boss down."
Although this idea was stupid, Sun Dazhuang had accumulated hatred in his heart for so many years that he really had the urge to go over and kill Huo Jingchen.
"Stop making noise, and be quiet."
Sun Dazhuang felt that there was a force of energy wandering around in his body, but due to the current situation, he had nowhere to release it.
Xia Mi stood beside Huo Jingchen and stared at the ships in the distance together.
"If you are not from the commune, then you are here to fish secretly?"
"We can't rule out this possibility. You go home first and I'll go to the army." Huo Jingchen's face was serious, without the gentleness he had just shown.
Xia Mi suggested, "Let's go together. You ride my bike and I'll get off halfway and walk back."
Huo Jingchen agreed and took her to the shore.
When the people on the sea saw Huo Jingchen and Xia Mi leaving, they quickly started the boat and fled. When the army's boat arrived, they only found the confiscated nets. -Xia Mi returned home, and the things in the bucket were barely enough to cook the originally ordered dishes.
Take out a porcelain bowl and beat three eggs into it. Then fill half an egg shell with water and pour the water six times. Then slice the sea cucumber and divide it into two bowls for steaming.
The steamed egg gradually took shape. She opened the lid of the pot and put the steamed sea cucumber on it and steamed it together.
This time the steaming time was very short. Sea cucumber was added to the yellow egg custard. Xia Mi dripped a few drops of sesame oil on it, and then poured soy sauce and chopped green onions to garnish it.
The method of making shrimp and crab burgers is quite complicated. Coat the small crabs and shrimps with starch and put them into the oil residue in the pot. Fry until golden brown and set aside.
Use the leftover oil residue to make potato strips. After frying, there is not much oil left in the pan.
Xia Mi poured the seasoning into the pot. The hot oil made a sizzling sound when it came into contact with the water. Then she added shrimps, crabs and potatoes, and simmered the ingredients in boiling water. When she opened the lid of the pot, the aroma had already been stimulated.
The yard was filled with the tempting aroma of food.
Huo Jingchen pushed open the door and smelled a fragrance. His appetite was instantly aroused and he turned around to lock the door.
"What day is today?"
"You're back, bring the dishes over quickly." Xia Mi ordered, her forehead sweating from the heat and her cheeks flushed.
Huo Jingchen washed his hands and did as he was told.
While eating, he thought about Sangqi, but in order not to disturb Xia Mi's meal, he swallowed the doubts in his heart along with the food.
Huo Jingchen eats very quickly, a habit he developed in the army.
Xia Mi frowned, "Eat slowly. Eating too fast or too hot can cause indigestion and polyps."
In her previous life, when she was working in the gastroenterology department, she met many elderly people who had developed polyps because they ate too fast in the factory when they were young.
Huo Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was not in the army but at home, and he didn't have to rush to eat.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Huo Jingchen slowed down his eating speed, and when he finished, he mentioned the boat that happened today, "We went to see it, it was here to steal fish.
"Someone will be on duty for a while starting tomorrow. Don't go there during this period."
Xia Mi nodded. She had already guessed this result.
Seeing that she had finished her meal, Huo Jingchen mentioned the matter of her biological parents again. He wanted to confirm Xia Mi's feelings.
If she didn't want to look for it, he was ready to give up.
"Do you remember the comrade named Sang whom I mentioned to you last time? He wrote back today saying that he has adopted Xia Yaoyao as his goddaughter."
Huo Jingchen did not mention Sang Qi's identity and observed Xia Mi's reaction.
"Is that so? That's fate. Even if they are not relatives, they are still related. It seems that Comrade Sang likes her very much."
Xia Mi was very calm. The original owner and Xia Mi had the wrong baby. Anyone would subconsciously think that they had done it.
If the other party wanted to investigate, he would definitely be able to find her, but he didn't. Instead, he acknowledged Xia Yaoyao as his goddaughter.
This proves that what he values is not blood relationship.
In this case, Xia Mi didn't want to waste her energy to find an uncle, since it would be the same whether she had one or not.
"Why don't you look surprised? Don't you want to find your relatives?"
Xia Mi suddenly smiled, and her clear eyes showed a hint of confusion, "You make it sound like I'm a heartless person."
Huo Jingchen remained silent, his eyebrows were narrow and deep, and he stared at Xia Mi quietly, as if he could see through her just by his eyes.
"What's the point of trying to find someone? I'm on a remote island, and communication is not convenient. Looking for someone is a time-consuming, laborious and costly task for me."
From the moment Xia Mi set foot on this island, she decided to use the original owner's body to start a new life.
What she wants in life is to live well in the present and plan for the future, not to be obsessed with finding her relatives. Moreover, without paternity testing, the chances of finding her relatives are too slim.
Just thinking of this, the system appeared at the right time.
[Host, the mall has a paternity test service, it only costs one thousand yuan per time! ]
Xia Mi: ...
After confirming Xia Mi's intentions, Huo Jingchen no longer forced her. He just smiled with a smile on his face.
"That's true. Having me is enough for you. We will have children in the future. It's enough for you to belong to me."
Huo Jingchen completely gave up the idea of finding relatives for Xia Mi.
Although his intuition told him that Sang Qi was most likely Xia Mi's uncle, if she didn't want to acknowledge him, it didn't matter who it was. - Xia Mi returned to the room first, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.
Not long after falling asleep, the sleeper frowned in discomfort. Xia Mi felt as if a stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
When I opened my eyes, I saw darkness in front of me. The man's hot breath sprayed on my neck, making me feel itchy.
Xia Mi was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her voice was bitten off.
She was so angry that she slapped the man on the back. In the silent night, the crisp sound of the slap was extremely abrupt.
"Can't you take a break?"
"It rests all day long. Besides, it has rested for more than 20 years. It has rested enough."
These words made people's ears burn. Xia Mi blushed and reached out to push him away, "Then stand up a little, it's too heavy."
"I'm so tired from working overtime today that I can't use any strength."
Huo Jingchen said in a low voice, coaxing her like a big bad wolf coaxing a little white rabbit, "How about we do it the same way as last time, you go up? How about you put pressure on me instead?"
Xia Mi still remembers the last time.
