Chapter 14: Come to pick me up, not to save me
Xia Mi quickly realized that Fan Chunhua was seeking justice for her daughter.
In Xia Mi's opinion, Li Jiajia deserved it. If Fan Chunhua was so fond of aiding and abetting evil, she would not want to make friends with such a person.
"What Sister Chunhua said is true. Fortunately, he and I haven't married yet. We can still regret it. He has such a bad temper. Will he hit me in the future?"
Xia Mi pretended to be stupid and got the man into a ditch without knowing what was going on.
Fan Chunhua's expression changed, and she hurriedly distanced herself from the matter, "That's not what I meant."
"What does sister-in-law mean by comparing people to lions, who are not only bad-tempered but also cruel? Isn't this a subtle reminder for me not to be confused?"
Jiang Shengmei saw through it but didn't say anything.
Fan Chunhua, a man in his forties, was actually intimidated by a girl in her early twenties.
After all, he is afraid of the people who support the little girl.
"Sister, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that Captain Huo is as mighty as a lion. If you follow him, no one will dare to ride on your head in this life!"
It took Fan Chunhua just a few seconds to brainstorm and come up with a response.
Xia Mi smiled but didn't say anything.
"Mrs. Jiang, are we going to open a new supply and marketing cooperative on our island? I saw several people unloading goods at the dock!"
The tall guy from last time suddenly rushed to Jiang Shengmei's yard, and when he saw Xia Mi in the yard, his smile suddenly disappeared.
Xia Mi lowered her eyes. It seemed that she had offended quite a few people.
"Sister Shengmei, I'll go back first. I'll come to see you next time when I'm free." Xia Mi stuffed the thing in her hand into Jiang Shengmei's hand without saying anything.
After Xia Mi left, the tall man walked to Jiang Shengmei, turning back every three steps.
"My God, this Miss Capital is really generous. Peach cakes and canned fruit, this must be five dollars, right?"
Fan Chunhua said angrily, "That's right, you call me Miss Capitalist."
The tall man looked at the things in Jiang Shengmei's hand, and suddenly regretted quarreling with Xia Mi. Otherwise, could she also have a share of these things? Jiang Shengmei turned around and locked the things in the cabinet, thinking about when to return them, or giving something equivalent back when Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen got married.
"Cai Lan, what did you just say?" Fan Chunhua grabbed the tall man and asked.
Liu Cailan thought of the business and became excited again. "I just came back from doing laundry and saw people moving things at the dock. It was a truckload of good stuff. I guess our army should open a supply and marketing cooperative!"
"Really? Then I won't have to go a long way to buy things. It will be inconvenient to go shopping on weekdays."
Fan Chunhua was also happy and couldn't wait to go over and watch.
She urged Jiang Shengmei impatiently, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and let's go to the dock to join in the fun!"
The opening of a new supply and marketing cooperative was a big event, which caused a sensation in the entire residential compound and among the members living nearby.
A large group of people walked towards the dock, all full of expectations for this "supply and marketing cooperative".
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!”
Following him was one of Huo Jingchen's orderly soldiers, who was specially sent over to call Xia Mi.
After Xia Mi confirmed that it was her who was called, she stopped and waited for the person to run closer, "What do you want from me?"
"Captain Huo asked you to go to the dock."
Xia Mi was puzzled, she nodded and agreed, then followed the group to the dock.
In just a short while, the dock was filled with people who came to watch.
Huo Jingchen stood beside the jeep, gazing at the sea level with his cold, sharp, and narrow black eyes.
"Da Qiang, are these things used to open a supply and marketing cooperative? Why are there only so few? Is a truckload of stuff enough? Will there be more later?"
Daqiang was one of the people who went shopping with Huo Jingchen this morning.
He shook his head and explained, "Sisters-in-law, these are all bought by Captain Huo for his new sister-in-law. They say they have three turns and one ring, and thirty-two legs. They are not your supply and marketing cooperatives!"
Daqiang's voice was loud and clear to everyone.
The situation turned around in an instant, and everyone's dream of the supply and marketing cooperative was shattered. No one in the group spoke a word, but their eyes were filled with confusion, some were shocked, some were confused, and some were envious.
The news on Zhuifeng Island is blocked, and quite a few people don’t know what three turns and one sound, and thirty-two legs are.
For a moment, with explanations of both known and unknown, some people's expectations were dashed and they were depressed and prepared to go back.
"Captain Huo, my sister-in-law is here!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Mi. She walked briskly. She was wearing a red and white double-line plaid lapel jacket, revealing a light-colored floral shirt underneath, and paired with a pair of navy blue trousers.
The sea breeze blew, ruffling her hair, revealing her full and smooth forehead, and her black hair fluttered in the wind.
Xia Mi walked towards the light, the light shone on her, and her whole body was emitting a faint halo, like a fairy descending to earth.
Huo Jingchen looked over, his eyes full of deep affection, staring straight at her face.
"I haven't seen you for a while. How come you are so shining like a Buddha? I asked you to pick me up, not to save me."
As soon as Huo Jingchen opened his mouth, Xia Mi wanted to beat him up and almost couldn't control her expression.
When the people around heard this, they all laughed out loud and were overwhelmed by the sweetness of the two.
"Why did you buy so much?"
"It was my first marriage, I had no experience, so I bought everything I liked."
Daqiang and Zhang Xiaoyong had a puzzled conversation.
"Who buys things with a list and then has to check them three times to make sure nothing is missing?"
Daqiang shook his head, "It's not Captain Huo anyway."
The booing and laughter around them became louder, and everyone began to congratulate Huo Jingchen and Xia Mi, feeling extremely envious.
Xia Mi also smiled. Looking at the car full of things, it would be a lie to say that she was not touched, but she just couldn't figure out what was so special about herself that made Huo Jingchen treat her like this.
Although the house had not been officially approved yet, there were only two vacant units, and the houses were quickly determined based on Huo Jingchen's position.
After getting approval, Huo Jingchen moved the things over first. - In the afternoon, Xia Mi took advantage of nothing to go to the beach again. She wanted to try her luck again to see if she could unlock new seafood.
Xia Mi took the things out of the space, bent over and started digging clams.
An hour later, she had harvested three pounds of razor clams, which was good in every way except that it was bad for her waist.
After only two days, she felt like she was about to herniate a disc.
While taking a break, Xia Mi observed the beach, looking for places she had not been to yet, wanting to change places.
She walked to the reef, under which lay a pale man. His clothes were all wet and his hair stuck to his face in wisps.
Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and quickly put the things into the space.
She put her hand on the man's carotid artery and confirmed that he still had vital signs. She also found that the man's nasal and oral cavity were clean and there was no debris blocking them.
Xia Mi first performed chest compressions for the person, and did it for nearly twenty times in a row. The person under her suddenly reacted, spit out a few mouthfuls of sea water, and slowly opened his eyes.
The situation was better than Xia Mi had imagined, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade, can you hear me?" Xia Mi patted the man's face.
The man blinked and said weakly, "Yes."
Xia Mi dragged the person ashore with great effort, and looked around. There was no one there. She could only leave the person here and call for help.
"Wait for me, I'll go get a doctor. Don't fall asleep, just hold on."
The first aid for drowning is to press 30 times, and then give artificial respiration twice, which is a ratio of 3 to 2. It is impossible for the heroine to kiss anyone other than the hero~ (End of this chapter)
