Chapter 15 Rewards for Good Deeds
Xia Mi ran to the hospital and quickly called out, "Someone is drowning at the beach, go save him!"
She was so tired that she was out of breath. It was almost a kilometer from the beach to the hospital. The original owner's pampered body could not take it.
"Comrade Xia, please lead the way!"
With these words, Xia Mi felt like she was struck by lightning. Thinking that human life was of the utmost importance, she nodded without hesitation.
On the way there, Xia Mi frequently fell behind, and when she arrived, her face was so pale that it was hard to tell who was more seriously ill, her or the person lying on the ground.
"It's Fu Ming! Captain Fu's son Fu Ming!"
After seeing the person lying on the beach, the four people hurriedly helped the person onto the stretcher and left in a hurry for fear of delaying the treatment.
Xia Mi pursed her lips and sat down on the stone block. She could clearly feel her heart beating wildly and her calves aching.
While no one was around, she went into the space and bought a piece of chocolate and an energy drink. She felt better after eating them.
After resting, Xia Mi slowly walked back to the guesthouse.
As the sky gradually darkens, the setting sun dyes the sky orange. The fiery red sunset scenery is eye-catching.
"Xia Mi." Jiang Shengmei knocked on the door. She was holding dumplings that were still steaming. "I'll bring you some dumplings."
Seeing that Xia Mi was about to become a member of the family compound, as the political commissar's wife, she naturally had to take the lead and unite the newcomers.
Xia Mi didn't hesitate to invite Jiang Shengmei to come in and sit down.
"Sister Shengmei, come in and sit down."
Jiang Shengmei was not polite and asked about what happened this afternoon, "You saved Fu Ming, right? Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, no one would have found him and he might have frozen to death."
"This is all as it should be. How is he doing now?"
Speaking of Fu Ming, Jiang Shengmei sighed and looked relieved. "He's awake. There's nothing serious. He'll probably be discharged tomorrow."
Xia Mi nodded, "I'm glad you're okay."
Jiang Shengmei wanted to say something when Huo Jingchen also arrived.
Huo Jingchen was holding two bags of flour, a bag of rice and a lunch box. Jiang Shengmei saw it all at a glance and stood up and said goodbye quickly.
"Qian Yue is still at home watching the fire. I'm going back first. Captain Huo, if there are not enough dumplings, come to my house again."
Huo Jingchen noticed the steaming white dumplings on the table, filling up a small porcelain plate. There were about fifteen of them, all made with fine flour.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have finished my meal."
Jiang Shengmei said hello and left.
"Why did you bring so many things? Didn't you take them all to your new home?" Xia Mi looked at the things on the ground, which weighed at least ten kilograms.
Huo Jingchen sat down and said, "These are the rewards for saving people. The army asked me to bring them back."
Xia Mi raised her eyebrows, surprise flashing in her eyes.
"The army cares so much about the people. I just saved someone, but I can get the reward in the evening. This is really efficient."
Xia Mi was very surprised by this reward.
Huo Jingchen's tone was unusually serious. "The child you saved today is a martyr's child. Captain Fu died last year. Fu Ming is the captain's only son..."
The dim light shone on his outlined face. The man had a dull expression and his mood was visibly depressed.
Xia Mi was stunned, and suddenly understood why Jiang Shengmei came to deliver dumplings and so many material rewards.
"I heard from Sister Shengmei that he is awake now and there is nothing serious wrong with him." Xia Mi didn't know how to comfort him.
Huo Jingchen said nothing. He put the lunch box on the table and opened the lid to reveal the braised pork and blanched mantis shrimp.
The other box is white rice.
"This is the special meal that the cafeteria prepared for you."
Xia Mi swallowed.
She hasn't eaten meat for several days since she came here. Now when she sees meat, she is like a hungry wolf, and her eyes are almost glowing green.
"I'll eat two dumplings. You can help me eat the rest. I can't eat so much."
Xia Mi looked at the dumplings piled up like a mountain, then looked at Huo Jingchen, hoping he could help her.
Huo Jingchen hummed and said, still not salty or bland, "You eat first, and I'll eat after you finish."
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Xia Mi simply stopped talking and just ate the braised pork with rice.
Halfway through the meal, Huo Jingchen suddenly turned his head and coughed dryly. His tone of voice was stiff and his expression was unnatural.
"Um... did you perform CPR on Fu Ming?"
Xia Mi swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded without thinking, "I did it."
The man lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fell on her, complex emotions surging in his eyes.
Regardless of Fu Ming's identity, Xia Mi was right to save him, but when he thought about her and Fu Ming...
Huo Jingchen began to feel annoyed, but for fear of scaring her, he could only suppress his unhappiness.
"But he didn't seem to be drowning, because he woke up after I gave him a dozen chest compressions, and there was no mud or sand in his nasal cavity or mouth. It's really strange..."
Xia Mi didn't notice the man's mood change from cloudy to sunny.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Why do you like going to the beach so much?"
At first, Huo Jingchen just thought that she loved to see the sea. But today, he realized that Xia Mi was even obsessed with the beach and would go there whenever she had nothing to do.
Xia Mi was embarrassed, "I have never seen the sea, and there are shells over there, I'd like to go over and see the world."
She liked it, and he couldn't interfere. He could only remind her to be careful.
"Shells? I'll ask some people to go pick up a few baskets for you. You can just sit at home and pick them up. With your small body, even a single drop would be a waste."
"I like to earn things through my own labor, but having others pick them up for me doesn't give me a sense of accomplishment."
Huo Jingchen laughed softly, smiling, "Now you can contract land yourself. I'll apply for an acre of land for you. It will be more fulfilling to grow food."
“…”
Xia Mi glared at Huo Jingchen angrily and put down her chopsticks. "No need, I'm full."
She picked up the bottle of warm water, poured water and wiped the chopsticks slowly and methodically.
After Huo Jingchen finished the rest of the dumplings, he discovered that Xia Mi had eaten the meat, but the remaining shrimp mushrooms were left untouched.
"He's quite principled. He doesn't eat his own kind."
Xia Mi rolled her eyes, very angry, "This shrimp is too troublesome. I have scratched my hands several times before, and I don't like eating it anymore."
Huo Jingchen muttered to himself, "She's so coquettish."
After dinner, Xia Mi saw Huo Jingchen off, locked the door, and prepared to plan her future plans.
Have you been thinking about whether you should adapt to the local customs, follow the trend of the times and start a business or invest in stocks?
Before reaching a conclusion, the man fell asleep in bed. -Military hospital.
"Is this true? Then Captain Huo will be cuckolded. Can this marriage still be concluded?"
Many people have caught colds recently, so the infusion room is quite crowded.
Fu Ming paid the fee and was about to leave. As he passed by, he heard a name called Xia Mi coming from inside.
He stopped and looked towards the infusion room, Xia Mi, the person who saved him yesterday.
"Who knows? I just heard from Jia Jia that Fu Ming must have been rescued. The first aid measure for choking on water is kissing!"
The names of mantis shrimp are different in different parts of the country, including shrimp mushroom, mantis shrimp, shrimp crawler, etc.
For the convenience of the follow-up, I will call them Pipixia QAQ (End of this chapter)
