Chapter 99 Return to Zhuifeng Island
The whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at Huo Jingchen in shock.
There was no concern or panic as imagined, only the desire for money in his eyes.
Jiang Weidong couldn't help but say, "You should correct your thinking."
After saying that, he looked at Li Weimin who was standing next to Huo Jingchen, "What do you think, instructor?"
"Captain Jiang is right. I will have a private talk with Captain Huo and try to correct his attitude."
Li Weimin specializes in doing ideological work for others, and this can be considered as falling into his professional field.
"Should we send the people to the island for investigation, or should we join forces with the police in Qingcheng to investigate?"
Huo Jingchen showed weakness in disguise. You know, the instructor is the Tang Monk in the army. He can convince everyone with just one word.
He brought the subject back on track.
"These pirates' activities have always been on our islands. After the big crackdown a few years ago, these people have come ashore to make a living. They are engaged in some shady businesses, and now they have caused quite a bit of impact on Qingcheng."
"The specific plan will be finalized after you and Deputy Battalion Commander Yan follow me to Qingcheng for a meeting this afternoon."
"yes!"
As soon as the task was given, Huo Jingchen and the people around him answered yes. -At noon, before twelve o'clock, He Yuntang returned home carrying meat and vegetables.
When Yaya saw the familiar figure, she ran up from afar to welcome He Yuntang home.
When He Yuntang saw his daughter running towards him, he quickly moved all the things to one hand, squatted down and held his daughter with the other hand.
"Yaya, have you seen your dad?"
Yaya nodded in her arms, "I see!"
An indulgent smile appeared on He Yuntang's face, and his pupils reflected his daughter's innocent smile.
"Uncle." Xia Mi was washing vegetables outside. She turned around and saw He Yuntang coming towards her holding Yaya.
"Xiao Mi, you are a guest, put the dishes down and let me take them." He Yuntang put his daughter down from his arms.
Xia Mi shook her head and refused, "It's just a little bit, I washed it easily, you go in and help your aunt."
She consciously stayed outside to give the couple some time to digest the situation.
"Yaya, can you play outside with your sister?"
After spending last night and this morning together, Yaya had already become familiar with Xia Mi and nodded in agreement.
"good."
Yaya trotted to Xia Mi, squatted beside her and watched Xia Mi wash vegetables.
"Sister." Yaya pointed at the vegetables in the basin.
Xia Mi looked in the direction of her finger and saw a very small worm floating on the water. It was white in color and less than one centimeter long.
She caught the insect naturally, and it flowed into her palm along with the water.
Yaya frowned and hid behind in fear.
"Are you afraid?"
Yaya nodded and quickly moved a few steps back, "Scared."
Xia Mi waved her hand and the insect was thrown away. After it disappeared without a trace, Yaya squatted beside Xia Mi again.
"Yaya, can I take you and your parents to where I live now?"
She didn't know if the child could understand, but she didn't know what to say now.
For the first time ever, Xia Mi heard more than three words from Yaya's mouth.
"Sister, is what you said true?"
Xia Mi was afraid that her reaction would scare the child, so she pretended to be calm and guided Yaya to say more.
"Well, what I said is true. Do you want to go?"
"Yes." Yaya blinked her eyes, showing her longing and expectation for a new life. "Sister, do you live in Suzhou?"
"Do you know Suzhou?"
Yaya nodded, "I know, my uncle is in Suzhou, but my mother doesn't like my uncle, so I don't want to go to Suzhou."
Xia Mi was surprised. She didn't expect the relationship between her sister and Xia Jinkuo to become so strained.
"I'm not in Suzhou. My home is on an island. There is everything on the island."
"Then sister, will the people there dislike me and my parents?"
Yaya tilted her head and looked at Xia Mi seriously. Her pair of black and bright eyes should have been full of innocence, but at this moment she was worried whether someone would dislike her.
Xia Mi's eyes were filled with heartache, and she shook her head and told her firmly.
"No, everyone there will like Yaya very much, and they are all looking forward to your parents coming."
"Really?" The childish voice rose in excitement and joy.
Xia Mi nodded in affirmation, "Really!"
Yaya stood up suddenly and walked into the house happily.
Xia Mi still had one third of the vegetables in her hands to wash, so she stayed outside to continue washing them. The door behind her was not closed tightly, and the sound of conversation could be heard.
After a while, Yaya ran out of the house, "Sister, mom wants you to come in."
Xia Mi had just finished washing the vegetables in her hands. She shook off the remaining water in the leaves and poured the washing water in the enamel basin onto the vegetable field next to her.
Yaya walked in front and opened the door for Xia Mi.
Xia Jing's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried again.
They don't have a stove in their house, only a furnace, which is used to boil water and cook.
He Yuntang put a little lard in the iron pan on the stove. It made a sizzling sound. He then put in the freshly cut meat and stir-fried it with the vegetables.
"Xiao Mi, I just discussed with your uncle and decided to live on Wind Chasing Island with you."
Hearing this answer, Xia Mi raised the corners of her lips happily, and even her voice was a little louder than usual.
"Really? Then we have a deal."
Xia Mi was afraid that her aunt would go back on her word.
"But aunt, uncle, I've seen a lot of Pi Pingfan returning to the city in the newspapers recently. Have you ever thought about this?"
"I've thought about it, but who knows when this day will come? We have gotten used to living here, but Yaya can't."
After He Yuntang finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, tinged with shame.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but when I heard your aunt say this, I really wanted to leave, not just for Yaya."
Xia Mi probably understood what He Yuntang was thinking.
"Uncle, let me make it clear to you first. When you go to Wind Chasing Island, the working conditions may be worse than they are now. Not only that, the difficulty of the work will increase because our junior high school has just been built."
Xia Mi's explanation made He Yuntang even more excited.
"It's better to have challenging things." His eyes were full of fighting spirit as he spoke.
Xia Jing had a different emotion. She sighed, "I just don't know how to explain to the folks here. I still have several patients with chronic diseases who need regular follow-up visits."
"All the formalities are in place. Daqiang will be responsible for communicating with the commune here. There is also a health center here, so you don't have to worry, auntie."
"Yes, don't you want to go back to the operating room? Now the opportunity has come." He Yuntang counseled Xia Jing.
"In fact, the need for surgery is not as frequent as before, but the medical conditions are better than here. In addition, they have to work at sea, so there are often patients with scratches that need stitches."
It's all a headache here, and the difficulty of Chasing Wind Island is higher.
As they talked, Xia Jing and He Yuntang finally accepted the fact that they had to go to Zhuifeng Island.
When Xia Mi went back in the afternoon, Xia Jing went out with the medicine box on her back, and they parted ways.
Xia Jing said to Xia Mi, "Xiao Mi, after going to Zhuifeng Island, will I have a chance to return to Suzhou in the future?"
