Chapter 67: Exaggerated Soldier King
You have to get up early to send someone off, and it’s cold in the morning, so the wind blowing on your face feels like a knife.
"Let's talk about it later. The family compound is not that close to the beach. Plus, I have a child to take care of. If I take the child there early in the morning and the child catches a cold, I won't be able to explain to my sister-in-law."
Xia Mi thinks that she and Zhao Xiaoying are not yet friends. She can't bear to see her parents suffer, but she is willing to see her suffer.
Disappointment flashed across Zhao Xiaoying's face, "Okay then."
"I'll go back first." After saying hello, Xia Mi left the office with her bag.
Zhao Xiaoying nodded and said nothing.
Xia Mi took Lin Qianyue home. As soon as she dropped the child off, Li Jiajia called her name from a distance, "Xia Mi!"
The voice was full of energy. Xia Mi hurried to look and asked only after she ran closer.
"What's wrong?"
"As for the child who came here for stitches a few days ago, remember to ask his family to bring the child to the hospital to have the stitches removed. Don't forget." Li Jiajia came to remind Zhang Zijie.
"He hasn't come to school these past few days. If he still doesn't come by the time, I'll go to his house to remind him."
Xia Mi then remembered this matter. Based on Zhang Zijie's personality and family situation, he would definitely not come.
Li Jiajia replied OK and showed no intention of leaving.
Li Jiajia said mysteriously, "There are two new doctors in our hospital."
"This is a good thing. Why don't you look happy?"
Zhuifeng Island is located in a remote area, so it is a good thing for hospitals and schools to have fresh blood. For example, Zhuifeng Primary School specially held a welcoming ceremony to welcome the new students.
"One of them is an old acquaintance. He actually has a little story with your Captain Huo."
Li Jiajia raised her eyebrows and deliberately prolonged the last syllable to whet people's appetite.
"Really? Then I'll go back and ask in the evening." Xia Mi didn't buy it.
As expected, Li Jiajia's face suddenly fell, with a strange expression, "Why are you asking him?"
"He is the person involved, he must know more than you."
"No, what if he's hiding something? Men only say the good things about themselves, and they definitely won't tell the truth."
"What if what you said is just groundless and it affects our relationship?"
Li Jiajia became excited. "How can it be just hearsay? Everyone in our hospital saw that it was Captain Huo who carried Jiang Ling to the hospital. For the next half month, he came to the hospital to see Jiang Ling."
Xia Mi pretended to be surprised, widened her eyes, and imitated Li Jiajia's stretching out her voice, "So that's how it is."
Li Jiajia was speechless for a moment, "..."
She felt indignant as to why Xia Mi always succeeded.
The most important things have been said, so there is no need to worry about the rest. Li Jiajia told the whole story.
"Jiang Ling was only sixteen years old at the time. When he went to collect firewood, he saw the pirates coming ashore. When he wanted to report to the troops, he was discovered and shot in the leg.
Captain Huo, who was on patrol, heard the gunshots and rushed over to save Jiang Ling and drive away the pirates. It was so impressive."
Xia Mi frowned as she listened. It was not that she did not think highly of Huo Jingchen, but wasn't it a bit too exaggerated that he could fight off a bunch of pirates alone with the wounded?
It turns out that this is not just groundless speculation, but exaggeration.
"Why don't you react at all when you hear me? I'm talking about your husband."
Xia Mi's mouth twitched, "Yes, all the hard work on his muscular body paid off. He can protect the wounded and deal with so many people at the same time. He is not just a battalion commander, he is a soldier king..."
"Not many people. Jiang Ling said five or six."
"That won't hinder the King of Soldiers from performing well."
Li Jiajia didn't understand the meaning of Xia Mi's words at all. She clicked her tongue twice and said, "Look, you are obsessed with it. But you don't have to worry. Captain Huo is not interested in Jiang Ling. If you hadn't appeared, we would have thought that he was not interested in women."
Now it was Xia Mi's turn to be silent.
"Xia Mi, Jia Jia, come to my house for dinner tonight. Xiao Ling is back. Come to my house for dinner tonight."
Jiang Shengmei's basket was filled with vegetables and meat. Her face was filled with joy and her voice was several decibels higher than usual.
Xia Mi was stunned. Jiang Ling, Captain Jiang, got through all of a sudden.
Li Jiajia answered quickly, "Okay, I'll go back and put something away and come back to help."
"Okay, let's get your mom over when we get back." Jiang Shengmei called out, "Xia Mi, I'll lend you my sewing machine later. The quilt cover hasn't been used for a long time, and I just found out today that the thread is untied."
Xia Mi agreed, "Sister-in-law, if you trust my craftsmanship, I will help you make it, and I will send it to you when I go there in the evening."
"I definitely believe it. Thank you for your help."
The three people standing at the intersection looked like neighbors who had known each other for a long time.
After parking the car, Xia Mi went straight to Jiang's house to get the quilt. After determining the parts that needed to be mended, Xia Mi carried the quilt back home.
As soon as she left Jiang Shengmei's house, Li Jiajia and Fan Chunhua came over, and she said hello and went home. - Huo Jingchen heard the sound of the sewing machine as soon as he entered the house, and saw Xia Mi stepping on the pedal with a focused look.
Afraid that she would be distracted, he stood at the door and waited for the sewing machine to stop before speaking.
"The sheets are broken? Did I use that much force?"
Xia Mi raised her eyelids speechlessly and rolled her eyes at him, "This is from Sister Jiang's house, I'll help her fix it."
"Sister-in-law asked us to come over for dinner tonight. If you have nothing to do, go over and help."
Huo Jingchen sat on the sofa next to her, looked at her and said, "I'll wait for you to come over together."
"Jiang Ling is back. Didn't Captain Jiang tell you?" Xia Mi asked this question for some unknown reason when mentioning what Li Jiajia said today.
"No, he didn't know about it until he got off work, and I also heard about it from you."
His expression was natural, and his affectionate eyes were calm.
Xia Mi changed the position of the sheets, "Why did she want to come back?"
"Even her father doesn't know about this. If I knew, wouldn't my status be higher than the group leader?" Huo Jingchen unbuttoned his clothes, a hint of smile appeared in his eyes. "If you are curious, I can ask on behalf of everyone tonight."
During the conversation, Xia Mi finished the finishing work and said, "Whatever you want."
"Come and help me fold it. Hold these two corners." Xia Mi unfolded the quilt cover and prepared to fold it and hand it over to someone.
Huo Jingchen cooperated with her, thinking that Xia Mi was not a gossipy person.
"Did anyone say anything to you?"
Xia Mi didn't answer, so Huo Jingchen asked in a different way, "Did Li Jiajia say anything to you?"
"I didn't even meet her today. I came back a little late after a short meeting in the evening." Xia Mi lied calmly. She was more afraid that she would not be able to hold back and tell Huo Jingchen about his exaggerated deeds than letting him know.
Huo Jingchen's eyes changed slightly, and when someone came over to fold his hands, he asked again.
Xia Mi didn't doubt what Li Jiajia said, but Huo Jingchen's repeated questioning made her confused.
"If you have nothing to hide, why are you so worried?"
Huo Jingchen snorted coldly, his voice mixed with sarcasm, "I'm afraid someone will sentence me to death in my heart, so I have to seize the opportunity to defend myself."
Xia Mi is innocent, is she that kind of person?
After packing up, Xia Mi took Huo Jingchen to Jiang Shengmei's house. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard lively conversation inside.
"Captain Huo."
A crisp female voice rang out.
