Chapter 89: One word "get lost" is enough
"Well, I'll ask when I go there."
Xia Mi nodded. The most important thing about this matter was to get her aunt's consent.
After returning home, Xia Mi made some green pepper and shredded pork noodles for dinner.
After finishing her meal, she looked at the wounds on Huo Jingchen's body and said distressedly, "Don't do strenuous exercise these days. Several of the wounds are not shallow. If they are deeper, they will need stitches. Rest well and don't take a bath."
"How can I not take a shower? It's so hot, I'll stink if I sweat a little."
If you don’t wash for a few days, you can only wait to be assigned a study room.
Seeing Xia Mi frown, Huo Jingchen took a half step back and said, "I will be careful not to let the wound get wet. In this weather, if you don't take a shower for a few days, you will become smelly."
Hearing Huo Jingchen's description, Xia Mi did feel a little disgusted, and told him, "Then you should be careful. The weather is hot, and your wound bandage is not breathable and prone to inflammation. The risk of infection is even greater if it touches water."
"No problem, I'll let the leader check it when the time comes."
Xia Mi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are such a jerk."
"By the way, can you tell me about the arrests you made today? I heard from Li Jiajia that they only caught one, but I remember there were three last time."
Huo Jingchen agreed, "Only one person came. He must have wanted to sneak back to see if the gun was still there. He disguised himself as a resident and came back by boat. He went straight to Xiaozhuifeng Beach after getting off the boat..."
Xia Mi learned from Huo Jingchen that the man got off the boat and saw that Zhuifeng Beach was guarded, so he took another route around to the reef.
While searching for the gun, Huo Jingchen led a patrol team and discovered someone, so he led the team to chase after him.
The man panicked when he was discovered. He first pulled out a gun and shot Captain Chu. Then when he was fleeing, he was shot in the calf by Huo Jingchen.
When he chased after him, the pirate gave up hope and fired randomly out of pain.
"More sweat in peacetime, less blood in battle. Your bleeding today is pretty good. It seems you have been training well."
Xia Mi looked at the wounds on his body and remembered a saying that was circulated in the army.
"That's right." Huo Jingchen lowered his head and glanced at the wounds on his body. "I'll wash the dishes later and go back to the army and then go to the hospital. I guess I'll be back late. You go to bed early. If I'm not back after 8:30, you lock the door."
"Go tomorrow. Have a good rest first. Someone else will do the rest of the work. Don't worry too much."
Xia Mi suspected that Huo Jingchen had no sense of pain, so she poked his wound with her finger. The man frowned and then relaxed.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
Huo Jingchen: “…”
Compared to those days of gunfire and hail of bullets, these minor injuries were nothing. Huo Jingchen was afraid that she would worry, so he swallowed his words.
"Okay then." Huo Jingchen relaxed. He had wanted to interrogate the man he had caught today, but then he remembered that the man was still lying in the hospital and he probably wouldn't be able to get anything useful out of him.
Xia Mi put away the bowl and said, "I'll wash the dishes today. You can have a good rest."
Huo Jingchen raised the corners of his lips, "Okay."
Huo Jingchen returned to the room and noticed something on the dressing table as soon as he entered. There were a few crumpled papers next to the blank piece of letter paper.
He walked over and saw Sangqi's letter on the table. He spent a few minutes reading the contents of the letter.
After reading it, he put the letter back to its place, picked up the paper ball on the table, unfolded the crumpled letter, and then saw the content of Xia Mi's reply.
She only wrote a few lines, and each line was full of polite refusals. In Huo Jingchen's opinion, these few lines contained too much content.
It's a waste of time to talk to a man like Sangqi. If you want him, just tell him to get out of here.
Huo Jingchen looked at the pen next to him that had not been closed yet, picked up the pen and wrote the word "roll" at the bottom of Sangqi's letter. -Suzhou .
Recently, the first thing Sanqi asked when he got home was, "Any letter from Wind Chaser Island?"
Zhang Xiaoqin shook her head and reminded him, "It's been seven or eight days since you sent the letter and there's still no reply. Could it be that they don't want to bother with us?"
"Xia Mi shouldn't be the case, but Huo Jingchen...it's really possible."
"You don't know Xia Mi, so how could you know that it's not that serious? We all know how hurtful your previous letter was. Captain Huo had good intentions, but what about you?"
Sangqi put down his bag and sat on the sofa with his head drooping in shame.
"Dad, why doesn't cousin Yaoyao come to our house to play recently?" Sang Canming ran back from outside the house, followed by his younger brother.
"Yeah, why hasn't Yaoyao come recently?"
Zhang Xiaoqin was also puzzled. She found that Xia Yaoyao had never come home since the last time they went to the Xia family. Before that, this girl would come over every now and then to bring things or play with the children.
"I guess the factory is busy. Isn't their factory going to build a branch in Tongxiang Town?"
"What does this have to do with her? She's just an employee and doesn't hold any position. Do you think she knows something?"
Sang Qi looked at Zhang Xiaoqin with a frozen look in his eyes. He felt that it was impossible, but he couldn't find an explanation.
The couple fell silent.
The Xia family on the other side.
Ever since Sang Qi came, Xia Guoqing had a quarrel with his girlfriend Mei Dujuan. The core issue was that Mei Dujuan felt that the Xia family did not value her enough.
After being rejected by his partner, Xia Guoqing went home and made another scene, questioning Sang Qi's identity.
Xia Yaoyao refused to say anything and also prevented Xia Jinkuo and Li Yinshuang from telling anyone, which made Xia Guoqing even more angry.
"Yaoyao, why can't we tell your brother about this? He is also a member of our family, and your brother won't harm us."
Li Yinshuang was caught between her son and daughter, and was exhausted from playing the role of peacemaker.
Xia Yaoyao's attitude was as firm as ever. "It's not that I don't trust my brother, it's that I don't trust his girlfriend. My brother is completely focused on her now."
"You can make a fuss over a meal, Mom. Do you think such a person can keep secrets?"
Xia Yaoyao was extremely impressed. It was just a bowl of black chicken soup, but if anyone told others about it, they would be so amused that they would die of laughter.
Li Yinshuang hesitated to speak. She wanted to explain for her daughter-in-law, but she didn't know what to explain.
"Mom, the era of judging one's family background is over. Our family is not shameful. Let's put aside the past. Now we are a family of workers. If you tell others about this condition, many people will rush to date my brother."
What he said was true, but Li Yinshuang and Xia Jinkuo had been impacted too hard by the times. Now they were like frightened birds and could not stand any stimulation.
"Okay, I'll ask your brother to invite them to dinner in a couple of days, make it up to Xiaomei, and explain everything to them. Don't worry about this matter anymore."
Xia Yaoyao sighed, but seeing her mother's firm attitude, she could only nod and agree.
Before, she didn't think that this sister-in-law who had not yet married into the family could pose much of a threat. But now, she saw that she only had two choices in the future: either she would put pressure on Mei Dujuan, or Mei Dujuan would not enter this door.
"By the way, Yaoyao, why didn't you go to see Secretary Sang these days?"
"We are building a branch factory recently, and our workshop leader has chosen me to be the assistant to the director. I am responsible for counting the spindles in the new factory, so I don't have time to go there."
Li Yinshuang felt relieved and blurted out, "That's good. I thought something happened between you two."
"Mom, why are you reacting like this? My uncle and I were fine, why did something happen suddenly?"
Li Yinshuang was stumped by the question. When she looked at Xia Yaoyao, her heart was beating like a drum. She swallowed nervously and dared not look directly at him. -
