Chapter 136 Happy Enemies
As the boat approached, the two people who had just waved at the boat were no longer enthusiastic and were arguing instead.
"Why did Daqiang and Jiajia quarrel?"
Xia Jing came out of the cabin and saw the two people arguing with each other, and she couldn't help but worry.
Zhang Erqiao said, "Don't worry, Doctor Xia. They just don't get along. They can't talk to each other."
"We're all used to it." Huo Jingchen added.
After waiting for the steps to be laid, Huo Jingchen got off the boat first, and then carefully supported Xia Mi.
Xia Mi had taken the boat back and forth several times and had gained experience, so she was no longer afraid as before.
He Yuntang also came with Yaya.
As soon as they got ashore, Yaya rushed into Xia Jing's arms. He Yuntang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The food is ready and you can eat it when you get home."
"Get out of the way, I want to talk to Xia Mi." Li Jiajia pushed Shi Daqiang away and immediately came to Xia Mi.
"Xia Mi, did you bring us any specialties?"
"I brought it." Xia Mi nodded, and her eyes indicated to Huo Jingchen the luggage in his hand, "It's some cakes, but I have to wait until I get home to take them out."
"Don't worry, I'm not that anxious yet."
Li Jiajia smiled and took Xia Mi's hand, then leaned close to her ear and said, "I'm going to tell you a shocking piece of gossip. A male teacher in your school is dating Sister Xiaoling!"
Speaking of this, the first person that Xia Mi thought of was Gao Zhilei.
"Teacher Gao?"
Li Jiajia's eyes lit up, "How did you know?"
"Did you already know that he was interested in Sister Xiaoling?"
"No, there are only a few teachers in our school. One of them is your ex-boyfriend, and the other is a quiet one. I think it's only Mr. Gao."
"That's him. He used to come to the hospital to see Sister Xiao Ling every now and then, pretending to be sick. Then a lady in our hospital said she saw two people at the beach."
They were still walking on the beach, it looked like this was a possible relationship.
Nowadays, people try to avoid suspicion. Unless they are in a relationship, it is rare for a man and a woman to be alone together.
"Sister-in-law, there is a letter for you. I sent it to you as soon as I saw it." Shi Daqiang also walked to Xia Mi's side and handed her a letter. "It's from Qingcheng. It's really strange. The provincial capital is so close to us, why don't you come directly?"
Shi Daqiang expressed his doubts.
"There is another letter from the capital, and there is also a package. I have delivered it to your door. You will be able to see it when you return."
Xia Mi took the letter and saw that the writer was Shen Zhihui.
"Thank you for your help." Xia Mi thanked him.
As she spoke, she looked at the second letter, which was from Huo Jinying.
What a fate! We were just talking about it on the boat, and now he’s writing to me.
Li Jiajia on the side was dissatisfied, "I was talking to Sister Xia Mi, why did you interrupt me? Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Don't be so self-indulgent. Have I ever said a word to you?"
"Shi Daqiang, what do you mean?" Li Jiajia's voice suddenly rose, and it seemed that the two were about to quarrel.
Xia Mi hurriedly tried to stop them, "Alright, alright, I'm going to get dizzy from all the noise!"
The war was forced to stop before it even started.
The two of them snorted heavily and turned their heads away without looking at each other, just like a quarrel among elementary school students.
After He Yuntang greeted Huo Jingchen and learned about what happened in Suzhou, he raised his brows slightly and it would be a lie to say he was not surprised.
As we walked and chatted, we soon saw Xia Jing's house.
Xia Mi had only eaten two buns since this morning and was really hungry.
She washed her hands, sat down and waited for everyone to gather. When everyone was there, she started to eat, concentrating on eating without saying a word.
He Yuntang and Yaya looked at the three people. If they didn't know better, they would think they were people fleeing from famine, but judging from their clothes, that didn't seem to be the case.
He Yuntang couldn't help himself and suddenly said, "Eat slowly, there's still food."
The three people who were concentrating on eating looked at He Yuntang in unison, as if asking, what do you mean? Even Yaya couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.
She pointed her index finger at Xia Jing and said with a smile, "Mom, there is rice on your face!"
Xia Jing raised her hand to touch the rice in embarrassment and explained, "Someone in our carriage had very smelly feet, and we didn't know whose they were. The smell on the train was so bad that we didn't even have dinner."
After this explanation, He Yuntang could understand it.
As Xia Jing ate, he picked up some food for her. "During the time you were away, many people came to ask me when you would be back. They were all worried that you would delay your return."
"If they hadn't seen Yaya and I still here, they would have thought you ran away."
He Yuntang and Xia Jing shared the interesting stories of her departure.
Xia Mi was full and was the first to put down her chopsticks. She curled her lips when she heard this, "It seems that my aunt is still the backbone of the hospital."
"And you, Dean Wang is also worried that you are following Jingchen back to the capital. He also said that he heard some gossip that Jingchen got a promotion and will be returning to the capital soon, and he took you with him."
He Yuntang couldn't stop laughing.
Huo Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, then returned to normal. After he finished the last bite of his meal, he felt much better.
But Dean Wang’s gossip was too accurate.
We still don’t know when this matter will be finalized. Could it be that Lao Jiang has informed Principal Wang and asked him to recruit people in advance?
Xia Mi also found it funny.
It is tiring to catch a bus, especially when you have a hard seat. Nowadays, hard seats really are hard seats, and the seats are so hard that it is extremely painful.
Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend and Xia Mi can have a good rest for a day.
After dinner, Huo Jingchen helped to wash the dishes, and Xia Mi and Xia Jing divided things up. When they finished, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and it was getting dark.
After returning home, Xia Mi didn't dare to lie down immediately, for fear that she would become more and more lazy.
She went into the kitchen.
Huo Jingchen was boiling water to prepare for a bath. When he saw her coming, he asked, "Are you tired?"
Xia Mi nodded, "Yeah, I didn't expect the train to be so hard. If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a cushion with me."
"What should I do when I return to the capital? It will take two days by train. How about preparing a cushion in advance?"
Speaking of the imperial capital, Xia Mi suddenly remembered the package she had just brought in and had not yet opened.
"By the way, my second sister sent us something. I'll go open it and see what it is."
Xia Mi took the package to the kitchen, cut open the package with a fruit knife, untied the rope, and the contents gradually appeared.
Some are pastries, some are crispy candies, and some are preserved fruits. They all seem to be specialties from the imperial capital.
But because of the hot weather, some of the sugar started to melt and could be pulled into strings when the package was torn open.
Xia Mi ate a piece of crispy candy and said, "It's delicious."
"If it's delicious, wait until you finish eating it and ask her to send it to you next time."
Xia Mi looked at the pile of things and knew that Huo Jinying had put a lot of thought into them.
"Forget it, it's too far away. It's too hot right now and it could easily break. Let me see if there's anything broken."
Then, Xia Mi began to distinguish between the good and the bad, and found that most of them had a long shelf life, except for some crushed ones. She planned to eat these for dinner tonight.
Anyway, I had lunch late, so I’m not very hungry now.
Huo Jingchen had no objection. He hadn't eaten these things for a long time, and a familiar feeling came over him when he ate them again.
