Chapter 6: Never Marry, Serve the Motherland
Li Weimin asked Xia Mi to go to the office and wait, and soon he prepared breakfast and brought it to the office.
An aluminum lunch box filled with sweet potato porridge and two multi-grain steamed buns.
"I've eaten at home, you can eat it, don't worry, these are new lunch boxes at home, I haven't used them before."
The instructor was worried that the female comrades would mind, so she brought new ones from home.
Xia Mi was really a little hungry at the moment, so the instructor asked her to finish her meal before talking about anything.
She thought so too, and who knows how disgusting the topic would be later.
Not daring to keep people waiting any longer, Xia Mi finished her breakfast in ten minutes.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Weimin told Xia Mi the purpose of this trip. He took out the photos he had sorted out yesterday from the drawer and handed them to Xia Mi.
"Comrade Xia, after investigating your situation, we have a general understanding of it."
"Out of consideration for the masses, the organization has decided to introduce you to the currently single male comrades in our army. All of them are excellent. See if there is anyone you like. I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible."
Xia Mi lowered her eyes, her curled eyelashes forming a small shadow, and her expression was indifferent.
She stared at a stack of photos, all in black and white, some were close-up shots and some were full-length.
The instructor did not mention the matter of Huo Jingchen. It should be that he and Captain Jiang disagreed and wanted to persuade her to give up in this tactful way.
"Instructor, I made up my mind last night that I have no plans to get married for the time being. I plan to take the boat back this afternoon. If it's convenient, could you please write me a letter of introduction?"
For the first time, Xia Mi felt that she was just a ball. The original owner's family kicked her to the army, but the army wanted to kick her away easily.
She knew that neither the instructor nor the group leader liked her, so she just took what she wanted.
It is not difficult to use the golden finger in this coastal city. Just find a place to stay when you return to the shore, have a good rest, and then find a place to settle down.
Li Weimin was surprised by Xia Mi's choice. He nodded and was about to agree.
"Report."
Huo Jingchen stood at the door, and no one knew when he had been standing there.
Li Weimin looked in the direction of the voice and said, "Come in. What do you want from me so early in the morning?"
"I went to have breakfast with my fiancée, and the people at the guesthouse said she was taken away by someone else. I was worried about her safety, so I came to check on her."
Then he added, "By the way, I came to submit my marriage application report."
Huo Jingchen was still holding the lunch box in his hand. After he walked closer and saw the photo in Xia Mi's hand clearly, he used so much force on his knuckles holding the lunch box that they turned pale.
He took out the note from his pocket, unfolded it, put it on the table, and then pushed it in front of the instructor.
The man's jawline was tense, his expression was serious, and he looked at Xia Mi coldly.
The instructor's face changed slightly and his eyes quickly scanned the paper. On it was an application for voluntarily becoming a revolutionary partner with Xia Mi.
Li Weimin was in a dilemma. This hot potato was given to him early in the morning.
"To become a revolutionary partner voluntarily requires both parties to do so voluntarily, but Comrade Xia just told me that he wants to leave the island. Even if you submit this report to the political commissar, he will not approve it."
Xia Mi didn't dare to look at Huo Jingchen. At this moment, her back felt cold and stiff, and she couldn't move.
Damn it, how could it be such a coincidence that she and Huo Jingchen met.
"She told me yesterday that she was willing to be my partner, and that a partner as good as me is hard to find. How come she doesn't recognize me after sleeping with me?"
After he finished speaking, Huo Jingchen took a deep look at the person who was sitting there with his head down, acting like an ostrich.
Xia Mi lowered her head lower and lower, preparing her response in her heart.
"Huo Jingchen, as a soldier, you should be careful about your words and actions. Is it your job to put pressure on the masses?"
Although I don't know what happened between the two yesterday, judging from the current situation, this brat is determined to marry Comrade Xia.
"It's my fault. We defended our country and stayed in difficult terrain for many years. In the end, we were played with by the people. I can't care about it."
The man said this and sighed in grievance.
"With the instructor's words, I am willing to put aside my personal feelings, remain single for life, and serve the motherland."
Li Weimin almost cursed when he heard this. It was a threat, a naked threat! Although Huo Jingchen was far away in Zhuifeng Island, he was the youngest in the Huo family, and everyone in the family took him seriously.
Also, what does this mean after waking up from a nap? Xia Mi's eyebrows jumped and she didn't dare to look at him.
She felt as if a poisonous snake was wrapped around her spine, and she couldn't move or stay still.
Li Weimin took a deep breath for a minute and calmed down. "Comrade Xia, please go back to the guesthouse first. Captain Huo and I will talk alone."
Xia Mi nodded and slipped out as if her feet were greased. -Xia Mi sat at the door of the guesthouse, looking out at the sea, wondering if it was a mistake to agree to Huo Jingchen yesterday.
"What a pretty lady, are you here to visit relatives on our island?"
A woman wearing a light blue scarf, wrapping her head tightly, with wheat-colored skin, a standard oval face, and a few sun spots on her cheeks, stopped in front of Xia Mi, carrying water.
Xia Mi hesitated for a moment and said, "I guess so."
Xia Mi remembered that she had never used the golden finger before, so she took the initiative to talk to the person opposite.
"Comrade, do you know where there is a beach nearby?"
The woman was carrying a shoulder pole. Because the sun was too strong, she stared at the direction where Xia Mi was, and replied loudly, "I see. Comrade, do you want to go see the sea?"
"Well, I haven't seen the sea yet."
Xia Mi's words that she had never seen the sea made the woman's blood boil. "Come with me. I'll carry the water back first and then take you over to see it. The sea here is so beautiful."
On the way, Xia Mi learned that the woman's name was Jiang Shengmei, and she was the daughter-in-law of Political Commissar Xiao. She had been on Zhuifeng Island for five years and now had a son and a daughter.
"You are so lucky. The typhoon just left not long ago. There must be a lot of seafood on the sea now. Although you can't eat it, it's good for you to see the world and learn more about it."
Halfway through the walk, Jiang Shengmei vaguely remembered something.
She asked tentatively, "Little comrade, are you acquainted with Captain Huo?"
The news that Huo Jingchen had sent someone to stay at the guesthouse yesterday spread in the evening, and everyone guessed that it was Captain Huo's fiancée who came to get married and prepare to join the army.
"I know him."
Speaking of Huo Jingchen, Xia Mi felt a complex emotion in her heart. She came to see the sea to avoid that man.
"Then you must be Captain Huo's fiancée." Jiang Shengmei's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world.
"I've heard that Captain Huo's fiancée is a college student and pretty. Now I finally see her in person. She's so beautiful."
Jiang Shengmei had no idea that she was praising the wrong person.
Xia Mi's eyes changed slightly, and she explained, "Sister Shengmei, you misunderstood. I am not his fiancée. Captain Huo was just sending me off out of kindness. He and I are just passing by at best."
Xia Mi emphasized the word "passerby".
Jiang Shengmei was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at Xia Mi, as if she wanted to stare a hole through her.
"You're not?!" Jiang Shengmei yelled, her voice breaking.
Almost was, but not anymore.
In Xia Mi's heart, Huo Jingchen was also labeled a scumbag. Fortunately, she has not married yet. It is not too late for her to know the truth now.
Xia Mi was determined to go back.
"Is Sister Shengmei so enthusiastic because of him?"
Jiang Shengmei waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm not that kind of snob, sister, let's just walk a few steps forward and we'll be there."
When Xia Mi heard Jiang Shengmei mention it, she felt a little excited.
She also pointed to the seafood that was scraped ashore to exchange for some travel expenses.
When they arrived at the beach, reality slapped Xia Mi in the face. Apart from some shells, there was very little seafood on the entire beach.
Seeing that Xia Mi was in a bad mood, Jiang Shengmei pointed to a reef not far away and said, "Xia Mi, why don't you go over there and take a look? There are many good things on that rock."
Xia Mi listened to Jiang Shengmei and walked into the reef.
There are countless densely packed oysters clinging to the rocks.
Xia Mi felt something was burning. It turned out that the soul blood of the beachgoers was quietly awakening!
As someone who often reads bloggers about beach-hunting, Xia Mi hated not having a small shovel and bucket with her at this moment.
[Unlock oysters, one pound can be exchanged for 15 RMB]
