Chapter 11 Let Them All See
Xia Mi’s words made Yan Yiming extremely ashamed, as if he had been stripped naked and publicly executed in front of everyone.
He trembled with his lips, wanting to explain, but not knowing where to start.
"Just as you told someone, I am not the daughter of the Xia family, so you don't need to use that little friendship to persuade me. Your self-righteous kindness is unnecessary in my eyes."
Xia Mi really couldn't muster any good feelings towards this coward.
Yan Yiming lowered his head guiltily, "I'm sorry, I will find a way to make up for the harm I have done to you."
Xia Mi smiled faintly, her watery eyes contained no warmth at all, and her eyes even seemed to be trying to distance herself from me.
"You're right. I'm not the biological daughter of the Xia family. Strictly speaking, I'm not your fiancée. I just hope you can keep a certain distance from me in the future."
After saying that, Xia Mi passed by Yan Yiming.
Yan Yiming wanted to stop Xia Mi, but he was scolded instead. He returned to the hospital feeling depressed. -Political Commissar's Office.
Song Zhang has been on the island for many years, and his skin has been exposed to the wind and sun, and his complexion is dark. His square face looks serious, and the atmosphere is frighteningly depressing.
"There is news about you. The telegram is on the table. Please read it yourself."
Song Zhang sat on a chair and signaled Huo Jingchen to take the telegram and check it. "If you still insist, I will approve the report today and go through the procedures. Put the person in place as soon as possible."
Huo Jingchen opened the telegram, which clearly read, "Life events cannot be decided casually. After we understand her identity and background, we know that she is not suitable for you. Your father and I do not approve of her. Please do not act impulsively."
Huo Jingchen snorted, then crumpled up the telegram and threw it into the trash can after reading it.
He raised his eyes, his dark pupils looking extremely indifferent in the dim room.
"If I were someone who would regret something, I would not be on Wind Chasing Island right now. I am serious about marrying her, and I hope the organization will approve it."
Song Zhang nodded, "What a good one, you won't regret it. Okay, let's go back and wait for the result."
"Wait, are your parents sure they won't reply to your letter?"
"No, I won't reply. What you said is not what I want to hear. I'm not a masochist, so why would I make myself unhappy?"
Huo Jingchen refused cleanly and neatly, and his tone was so relaxed that it seemed like an insignificant matter.
Suddenly, Huo Jingchen made an application, "Old Song, I want to apply to go off the island to buy some things tomorrow, and bring two more people with me."
Song Zhang felt puzzled. What Huo Jingchen hated most was leaving the island. He would just hang out in the training ground when he had nothing to do. He was usually unwilling to go out on business trips.
"What's something you don't have on the island that you have to go to the city to buy?"
"Three turns and one ring, and thirty-two legs. I heard from people outside that this is popular in weddings now."
The people on the other side laughed after hearing this, thinking it was extremely strange that such words could come out of Huo Jingchen's mouth.
Song Zhang laughed and said, "Comrade Xia Mi is the first person on our island to have such a configuration. She is really blessed."
Huo Jingchen sneered in his heart and raised his eyelids.
"I have never seen a lucky person being gossiped about by half the people on the island, but now everyone outside is discussing her life experience for fun.
I just want to let those who look down on her see how well the people they look down on live. It is the ones who make them miserable for the rest of their lives."
As the political commissar of the army, Song Zhang would naturally hear every piece of news even if he didn't have to leave his office.
I did hear Jiang Shengmei mention it a few words when I got home last night.
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter. Don't take it too seriously. Women always gossip. It will be fine after a while."
After Huo Jingchen got the approval, he did not stay for long and prepared to go back to the guesthouse to say hello to Xia Mi. -Xia Mi used the excuse of having too few shells to borrow tools from Jiang Shengmei again today.
She squatted on the reef, wearing rubber gloves bought from space, and thought while cracking oysters.
She went to the mall last night to look at the tools. A set costs about thirty yuan. In addition, the mall also provides space storage services.
The rent is 10 yuan a month, so she is not in a hurry to buy or rent. She can still have time to buy after buying a few pounds today.
Practice makes perfect. Today, Xia Mi's movements are obviously much more skillful and faster than yesterday.
Watching the oyster meat gradually covering the bottom of the bucket, two hours later, Xia Mi had already knocked out three pounds of it, and her efficiency was much higher than yesterday.
She turned her sore neck, stood up and did a set of twisting exercises.
Xia Mi looked at the beach which was getting darker in color, and realized belatedly that something was wrong. She wondered if it was because of high tide last night.
She carried the bucket and slowly moved to the beach, first using the system to recycle the oyster meat.
[A large number of clams and razor clams were detected on the beach. The prices are as follows: 10/catties for clams and 35/catties for razor clams.]
Xia Mi widened her eyes in excitement, her pupils shrank slightly, and her red lips gradually curled up with joy.
She ducked into the mall and bought a flat shovel and a pot of sea salt.
Looking at the boundless sea and then at the beach, Xia Mi felt full of energy as he held the tools.
The holes of razor clams are easily confused with those of crabs. There is a circle of small soil balls outside the crab holes, while the holes of razor clams are just a simple hole.
Xia Mi was inexperienced for the first time, so when she found a clam hole, she followed the host's example and shoveled two spoonfuls of sand, then poured sea salt at the entrance of the hole.
The first time she poured too little, and the clams didn't come out for a long time, so she changed another one. This time she used too much force with her hands and poured too much sea salt, forming a small salt pile.
The clams sensed the salt and suddenly popped their heads out, still spitting out water.
Xia Mi seized the opportunity to catch the clam, then pulled it hard, and the clam was in her hand.
Digging clams is stress-relieving and fun. Xia Mi was so happy to see the small bucket being filled with clams and flower clams.
In the early spring weather, she was so tired that her forehead was covered with sweat, but she still enjoyed it.
"Xia Mi, Xia Mi!"
When Xia Mi heard the voice, she took advantage of the time when Jiang Shengmei lowered her head to look at the road and quickly used the system to recover the spoils.
"My God, you really don't care about time when you play? You soak from morning to afternoon, look at the sweat on your forehead."
If Huo Jingchen hadn't come to their house, Jiang Shengmei would have thought that Xia Mi had taken the things back to the guesthouse.
Realizing that Xia Mi had disappeared for the whole morning, Jiang Shengmei was worried that Xia Mi had been swept away by the waves without noticing. She was so scared that she couldn't eat and hurried out to look for her.
"Your Captain Huo is going crazy looking for you. If he hadn't been called back to the barracks, he would have come with you."
Xia Mi doesn’t have a watch. She’s so addicted to digging that she’s lost her sense of time.
Seeing Jiang Shengmei's anxious expression, Xia Mi apologized, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't pay attention to the time and made you worry. I was just about to go back."
"Ah! How did you do this? You don't look hurt. Is this shell so attractive?"
Jiang Shengmei looked down and noticed that Xia Mi's pants were torn, revealing porcelain white skin and bright red blood.
Only then did Xia Mi notice that her calf knee was cut, and only then did she feel the chill and a slight pain. The blood had already coagulated, and her trouser legs were soaked with blood, but it was not obvious.
She thought to herself that it must have been something she had accidentally done when she came down just now.
"Okay, stop it. I'll take you to clean it up. Why are you so grown up but still playing like a child?" Jiang Shengmei muttered, her face full of concern for others.
Xia Mi packed up her things and followed her parents like a child who had made a mistake.
"Neither of the couple is stable." Jiang Shengmei complained.
Xia Mi felt guilty and didn't dare to reply.
"You may not know this yet, but your report and Captain Huo's report are going through the process and will be ready in a few days."
