Chapter 118 Want to go back to Suzhou
In the end, Xia Yaoyao still didn't leave, and the atmosphere in the Xia family fell to a freezing point, and cracks quietly appeared in the relationship.
-
Chasing Wind Island.
The news that Xia Mi's family had raised a wolfhound quickly spread throughout the entire compound.
At first, everyone came to see it often out of curiosity, but when they saw it was still a puppy, they all joked that Xia Mi had too much food to eat.
Xia Mi explained with a smile and did not try to defend herself.
In this era, dogs were used to guard the house, unlike in later generations, when dogs were treated as family members. Some dogs even lived a more luxurious life than humans.
After two months, the black panther's physique has suddenly doubled in size compared to when it first arrived, and now it looks much more majestic when it runs out.
Xia Mi returned to work and had no time to bring Black Panther with her, but fortunately she didn't have to lock the door during the day.
The black panther usually stays near home and rarely goes out, always lying in the yard and playing by itself.
Every day before Xia Mi returned home, Black Panther would hear Xia Mi's voice, and his drooping ears would suddenly stand up. Then he would go out and run towards Xia Mi.
"Black Panther, are you here to pick me up?"
Xia Mi did not stop the car. Black Panther ran beside her, barking excitedly.
"Xia Mi is off work?" Jiang Shengmei was standing on the roof of her house. When she heard the dog barking, she knew that Xia Mi was off work. It was Black Panther barking excitedly.
"Yes, sister-in-law is collecting things."
Xia Mi stopped the car and looked in the direction of Jiang Shengmei to greet her. She remembered that the kiln was almost dry. "By the way, sister-in-law, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. Are you free tomorrow?"
Last time we agreed to make something and send it to Captain Jiang and his team, but due to the frequent typhoons in the summer, the kiln construction work was put on hold for half a month.
After it was done, it had to be dried. It had been cloudy on the island for a week, which made Xia Mi almost depressed.
I thought God didn't want her to build a kiln.
Fortunately, the weather has been good recently and the kiln was built successfully. She plans to give it a try tomorrow.
"Yes, I have."
"Then ask Sister Chunhua to come to my house tomorrow afternoon."
Fan Chunhua was packing things in the yard. She could hear the conversation between Jiang Shengmei and Xia Mi clearly. They were just waiting to be called.
"Okay, Xiao Mi, are you going to do something weird tomorrow?"
Xia Mi deliberately kept it a secret, "You'll know when you come tomorrow."
She bought everything needed to bake a cake at the mall and put them all in the cupboard. She even changed the packaging.
Xia Mi put her bag down, rode her bike and took Black Panther straight to her aunt's house.
Yaya saw the black panther and ran out of the house happily, "Sister, Black Panther!"
After spending some time together, Yaya has completely adapted to life on Zhuifeng Island. In addition, she plays with Lin Qianyue every now and then, and they talk more and more frequently recently.
The black panter stuck out its tongue and panted, sitting on the ground, allowing Yaya to ravage it without getting angry.
Xia Mi parked the car and asked, "Yaya, when does your mother get off work?"
"Mom is on duty tonight, she said she won't be back."
Xia Mi nodded. It seemed that her aunt would not be able to come tomorrow.
My uncle will definitely have a holiday, but the junior high school department has just been established and several teachers have been in meetings recently, so I don’t know if he can have a normal holiday.
When Xia Mi was about to go back, He Yuntang came back.
After walking for a few kilometers, the handkerchief he used to wipe the sweat was so wet that his cheeks were flushed. He was not surprised to see Xia Mi.
"Uncle, I'm going to make something at home tomorrow. If you are free, please bring Yaya to my house."
He Yuntang nodded, "It's just right. I haven't had a break for half a month. It's rare that I don't have to go to school to work overtime tomorrow."
"Okay, then you guys come in the afternoon. It's cooler in the morning so I want to weed the vegetable patch in the yard first."
He Yuntang agreed, and when Xia Mi was about to leave, he suddenly remembered what Xia Jing had said before.
"By the way, Xiao Mi, your aunt will be on holiday the day after tomorrow. She said she has something she wants to tell you."
"About the hospital?"
Strange, shouldn’t she ask Dean Zhang about the hospital’s affairs? Xia Mi suddenly became nervous, worried that her surgery would be exposed.
"No, Xiaojing seems to want to go back to Suzhou."
He Yuntang did not choose to hide it. "Now that life has stabilized and the newspapers have lifted the restrictions on us, your aunt felt homesick after reading the newspapers."
Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was about the surgery.
"As long as you discuss leave with the hospital, you can go back anytime. The same goes for you, uncle. However, the school can't do without you recently, so it's unlikely that you can go back now."
He Yuntang also knew this. Junior high school had just started, teachers needed to attend meetings and study, and students could not slack off, so he simply could not spare the time.
But he was worried about Xia Jing going back alone, so he simply discussed it with Xia Mi without telling Xia Jing, "Yes, I know, so I want to ask you if you can accompany your aunt back. I'm worried that she might lose control of her emotions when she sees her brother."
"Your aunt wants to go back alone without Yaya. I'm worried that it's not safe for her to go alone."
It is indeed dangerous for a woman to go back alone, especially when there are dense crowds of people, as those are places where human traffickers frequent.
"I'll think about this matter again."
Xia Mi did not agree immediately because Suzhou was too far away. It would take four days to go there and back, and a week to go there.
The train seats are very hard nowadays, and Xia Mi feels that her butt hurts every time she sits on them.
"Okay, go back and discuss this with Jingchen. This is not a small matter."
Xia Mi nodded, "Then I'll go back first."
"Black Panther, let's go home." Xia Mi looked at Yaya's reluctant eyes and comforted her, "Yaya, sister will pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay!" Yaya jumped up and down happily thinking that she could play with Black Panther and Brother Qianyue again. -In the evening, the sky was dyed red by the setting sun. Before the sun set, the moon was already hanging in the sky, a crescent moon.
Xia Mi told Huo Jingchen that her aunt was going back to Suzhou.
When he heard that his uncle wanted Xia Mi to go back with him, the man who had been indifferent before suddenly reacted and frowned slightly.
"If one woman is unsafe, then two women are safe?"
"It's always good to have a companion. I'll be gone for at least a week. I can ask Teacher Qiao to help me with the elementary school classes. The teaching pressure in the new semester won't be that heavy."
"From what you said, you are ready to abandon your husband and children?"
Huo Jingchen put down his chopsticks halfway through his meal, which was rare. With a resentful look in his eyes, he turned to look at the black panther on the table and said, "Your master doesn't want you anymore."
Black Panther didn't understand and turned to look at Xia Mi.
"How could I abandon my husband and my son? At most I abandoned my husband, but how could I have a son?"
Huo Jingchen was unwilling to let Xia Mi travel such a long distance to such a far place, and besides, that place was not worth her staying there.
"So you've agreed to go?"
Huo Jingchen looked at Xia Mi and asked again, "By the way, since you are not the daughter of the Xia family, why don't you take this opportunity to change your name, change both your last name and your first name."
"The word 'Mi' makes you very Buddhist, and you love to do things that are thankless."
