Chapter 178: Introducing the Object
Xia Mi's face froze slightly, thinking that she really deserved to die, why bother asking this question.
For someone who knew the truth and how cruel it was, Xia Mi didn't know how to answer Lin Qianyue for a moment.
"Then you must study hard when school starts."
Xia Mi choked in her throat and swallowed the food with difficulty.
Lin Qianyue nodded heavily and said affirmatively, "I will definitely do it."
"Sister, Yaya also wants to go to the city to play, can you take me with you next time?"
Yaya was sitting next to them, her lips were covered with grease from the meat, which reflected light.
Xia Mi took a piece of paper and helped Yaya clean it. "Of course, I'll tell you in advance next time I go."
Seeing Yaya expressing her needs naturally, Xia Mi’s guilt was alleviated a lot.
The three families originally planned were barely counted as three in the end, because Xia Jing was not there, and He Yuntang brought Yaya with him.
"In that case, Xiao Mi, next time you go, please take me with you. The supply and marketing cooperative hasn't opened yet, and we're missing a lot of things at home."
He Yuntang was sitting at the next table and quickly interrupted when he heard this.
"Okay." Xia Mi nodded in agreement.
The topic then turned to Qingcheng. Jiang Weidong talked about the current city. Roadside stalls have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Since the organization promulgated this policy, all kinds of things are sold on the roadside.
"Didn't I hear that it can be used to repair home appliances?"
He Yuntang asked. He read newspapers quite often and now he just waits for the newspapers to be delivered to his door every day. His monthly salary is not high, but he is still willing to spend five dollars to subscribe to a daily newspaper.
Huo Jingchen's eyes immediately drifted to Xia Mi.
He and Xia Mi were sitting opposite each other, so Xia Mi could see every subtle expression on his face clearly.
Now everyone's attention was on the topic, and no one noticed the look Huo Jingchen gave Xia Mi.
"Repairing home appliances is something Xiao Mi is also good at."
Xia Mi knew that Huo Jingchen had no good intentions and was deliberately using her for fun.
“Is this true or false?”
Everyone showed great interest in whether Xia Mi could repair home appliances, or perhaps it was the contrast between her image and her ability that made people curious.
"It's fake. In the end, it was all his fault. He was just trying to make fun of me."
Xia Mi glared at Huo Jingchen with a warning look in her eyes.
Others also understood that this was the young couple's hobby.
So everyone treated it as a joke and let it go.
When he returned home at night, Huo Jingchen looked at Xia Mi, who was wrapped up like a caterpillar with a new quilt next to her, and he knew that the joke was too big.
"Angry?"
Xia Mi had been running around outside all day and was extremely tired. She was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
"No, go to sleep."
She blinked her eyes, but found that she still couldn't open them, so she resigned herself to her fate and pretended they were closed, waiting for the lights to be turned off and going to sleep.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she felt a chill coming over her and had to open her eyes, only to find Huo Jingchen coming in.
"Didn't I get you a blanket?"
"You sleep on separate quilts now, and you will dare to sleep in separate beds in the future. The final outcome will be sleeping in separate rooms, and maybe even divorce. You are destroying our relationship."
Although Xia Mi had her eyes closed, one could tell from her facial expression that she was very helpless.
"It's up to you then."
After turning off the lights, the room was pitch black.
Huo Jingchen had a drink tonight. Although he brushed his teeth, there was still a faint smell of alcohol when he spoke. It was not unpleasant, but it was particularly obvious when mixed with mint toothpaste.
"Are you mad because I made a joke on you?"
"No."
"Then why do you and I sleep on separate blankets?"
"Because I wanted to have a good rest. I woke up in the middle of the night last night and found that all the quilts were rolled away by me, so I brought a new one for you."
Huo Jingchen said "oh", but his tone was full of disbelief.
"If you want to invest, do you have to follow Shen Zhihui? Investing money is not enough, you also have to put in physical effort, so should the dividend ratio be modified?"
That's what I said.
Xia Mi was a little amused and didn't know whether Huo Jingchen was worried about the money or her.
"What are you worried about?"
"No, I just want you to get the rewards you deserve for your hard work."
"Don't worry, after I finish the initial work, I won't go again. I have my own things to do."
Xia Mi was sleepy and her voice became hoarse.
Huo Jingchen couldn't bear to let her go on like this, so he hugged her tightly and said, "Go to sleep, I'm not afraid of the cold."
After saying that, he stretched out his long legs from under the quilt and kicked the other quilt into the corner, with no intention of using it at all.
Feeling the person in his arms sleeping, Huo Jingchen was slightly surprised. He actually had moments of insecurity? Impossible, this must be an illusion.
He blinked, and a perfect plan already came to his mind. -The Wind Chasing Island Army.
"Instructor, you are from Qingcheng, do you know any highly educated female comrades?"
Li Weimin glanced at Huo Jingchen and teased, "Why, are you getting married for the second time?"
"No, I want to introduce someone to someone. He has been single for too long. If I don't tell him soon, it will be hard for him to find a wife. " "How can this person be older than you?"
Every word turned into a knife, stabbing into Huo Jingchen's heart without missing a single one.
He smiled lightly, his expression natural, "Come to think of it, you also know that person."
Immediately afterwards, Huo Jingchen began to reveal to Li Weimin that he wanted to find a partner for Shen Zhihui.
Li Weimin also knew Shen Zhihui, but he only knew that the two had met twice, both times in front of Jiang Weidong.
"Why is he back again? Didn't he finally return to the city? When did he come back?"
Huo Jingchen patiently explained, and finally asked for a definite answer, "Just tell me if there is anyone suitable around you. If not, I will find someone else."
"Don't tell me, there really is a candidate."
"who?"
"Jiang Ling!"
Huo Jingchen frowned, "Doesn't Jiang Ling have a partner? This island romance is so exciting, how can she be the right person?"
"But my family doesn't want this person."
Li Weimin began to analyze for Huo Jingchen, "Look, Teacher Gao is an intellectual, right? That means Jiang Ling likes intellectuals, and in terms of appearance, Shen Zhihui is obviously better."
If he wasn't better, Huo Jingchen wouldn't have started working as a matchmaker.
He trusted Xia Mi, but he wondered if people outside who didn't know the truth would mistake them for a couple, especially since they had so much time together.
Thinking of this, Huo Jingchen felt extremely envious.
"Besides, Shen Zhihui is someone that Lao Jiang knows. We have a relationship on both sides and know each other well. If we become a couple, maybe Lao Jiang will thank us."
"Have you forgotten Shen Zhihui's age?"
Li Weimin then remembered that Shen Zhihui’s age was indeed a big problem, as he was ten years older than Jiang Ling!
Jiang Ling is now 19 and Shen Zhihui is already 29.
It's even more outrageous than the pairing of Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen.
