Chapter 289 Parties
The second day of the new year.

Shi Xia, who has already gained a little weight, is drinking mutton soup.

Opposite them were Old Man Shan and Old Man Xu playing chess.

The chess set was made by the old man himself.

Since Shan Yuancheng went to the secret base, Old Man Shan has been completely idle.

However, one cannot be too idle. When Xu Danqing discovered that the old man could make guns out of wood, the old man became the best friend of the children on the island.

We can't keep up with the orders every day.

The children always come up with strange and wonderful ideas for him. Although he says he's tired, his hands are always busy working.

He also occasionally takes on some handicraft work in the village. When it comes to the year-end dividends, Shi Xia included Old Man Xu, Old Man Shan, and a few others.

Teacher Qu's family can't be officially counted, but the three of them living here can only be described as living a blissful life.

They eat well, dress warmly, live comfortably, and are free from backstabbing and infighting.

In fact, there are bound to be conflicts in places with a lot of people, but the advantage of the three islands is that there is summer sometimes.

As long as Shi Xia is around, no one dares to have any conflicts.

"Shi Xia, you don't need to take supplements like this every day. Aren't you afraid of getting nosebleeds?"

Old Xu glanced at it and made a move.

Shi Xia looked up.

"If I get a nosebleed from the treatment, it means you're an incompetent village doctor."

Old Xu paused for a moment as he picked up the chess piece.

"Or is it my fault?"

"Of course, go out and ask. Is it my fault?"

Old Xu: He must be really sick. Go ask a bunch of Shi Xia fanatics.

"Let her eat if she can. She's still too thin; she'd be even better if she ate more."

Old Man Shan retorted, while Old Man Xu glared.

"You're a doctor, and I'm a doctor!"

"So what if I'm not a doctor? If you're so capable, then don't use my chess pieces."

"Are you just making excuses?"

"Have you no shame at all!"

The two started fighting in the blink of an eye. Shi Xia calmly blew on her mutton soup, not caring at all. These two couldn't stand not fighting every day.

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Hello, did I come at the wrong time?"

Song Mingshan arrived, carrying gifts.

Shi Xia and the other two looked towards the door. A child grinned at Shi Xia, revealing that he was missing two front teeth.

"Boss Shi Xia, this person is looking for you."

"Okay, go play now."

Shi Xia waved her hand and said to Song Mingshan at the door, "Come in."

When Song Mingshan first came to deliver the gift, he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, and he wished the things he was carrying could be invisible.

Hello, Shi Xia.

Shi Xia glanced at the reserved Song Mingshan and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

Song Mingshan chuckled and put the things down.

"It was my first time giving a gift and I had no experience, so my dad insisted that I do it."

Song Mingshan received a phone call from his father before the Lunar New Year, and the two mentioned Shi Xia's name.

Only then did Song Mingshan's father realize that his son knew Shi Xia, and then he gave him a long lecture about how to get along well with Shi Xia.

Then Song Mingshan arrived.

“You’re not the first one to come. Every household in our village has brought me delicious food.”

"Would you like some mutton soup?"

Song Mingshan's tension lessened considerably after Shi Xia's few words, and thankfully, Shi Xia didn't look at him strangely.

He didn't feel ashamed to give Shi Xia a gift; he just felt that Shi Xia wasn't the type to accept gifts.

If Shi Xia knew what Song Mingshan was thinking, she would definitely ask what gave you that illusion.

Since Song Mingshan had come, Shi Xia naturally wanted him to stay for dinner.

Just then, Old Man Shan and Old Man Xu got into a fight, so Song Mingshan took over Old Man Shan's place in playing chess, while Old Man Shan whistled for Shi Xia from the side.

Before the game of chess was even finished, Uncle Cao arrived.

"Shi Xia, Shi Xia!"

"They're here!" Shi Xia went out, and Uncle Cao ran over.

"Shi Xia, come and connect the power!"

Shi Xia said knowingly, "You should have come a long time ago, why are you dawdling?"

She still went along, and five staff members came. Uncle Cao was responsible for arranging accommodation and meals, and Shi Xia didn't care about anything else.

She walked back home, and before she even reached her doorstep, a familiar voice called out to her.

"Comrade Shi Xia."

"Commander Cheng?"

Shi Xia turned around and saw that it really was Commander Cheng, who had already been transferred.

"How did you come!"

"I happened to have a few days off, so I came back to visit."

Commander Cheng spoke casually, but in reality, he encountered various difficulties while training new recruits.

He discovered that without Shi Xia's help, many things were progressing very slowly.

In order to maintain a good relationship with Shi Xia, he specially set aside a few days to come here.

The two were old friends, so Shi Xia naturally invited Commander Cheng to her home for a visit.

After some introductions, everyone started chatting.

Grandpa Shi looked at the kitchen, then at the outside, and took some more rice out of the rice bag.

Can no one else come?

"Hahahaha! What a wonderful place! What a wonderful place! A place blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery!"

The person arrived before the voice.

A little boy ran over, stood at the gate of Shi Xia's house, pointed at the people behind him and said, "Boss Shi Xia, someone's looking for you again!"

Shi Xia blinked, wondering why there were so many people today.

She went out, and the people outside arrived as well.

"Captain Luo?"

Captain Luo from the Northwest has arrived; that's quite a distance.

"Comrade Shi Xia, it's been a long time!"

The two shook hands, greeted each other, entered the room, and introduced themselves.

Grandpa Shi, who was in the kitchen, turned around and went to get more rice.

Inside the courtyard, Cheng Tuanzheng and Captain Luo were putting on fake smiles while actually putting on a show of competition.

They both knew each other's intentions all too well.

Commander Cheng: This guy took three planes.

Captain Luo: This is the guy who seized our two planes.

Song Mingshan stopped playing chess, mainly because the two people next to him were giving him such intense stares that it made his scalp tingle.

Shi Xia didn't seem to mind. She took out snacks and seafood from home and invited everyone to eat together that evening.

Everyone agreed.

"Shi Xia, we've come to see you."

Another person has arrived.

Shi Xia was numb. Did you guys make a plan?
Could they be here to ambush and kill her?

Otherwise, why send so many people?
No, someone like Song Mingshan wouldn't be of much use in the encirclement and suppression!
Shi Xia started to have random thoughts. Outside the door were Chief Wei and Old Ma, as well as several other people Shi Xia didn't recognize.

"How many of these?"

The old man stepped forward and whispered in Shi Xia's ear: "Expert."

I understand, they're after the submarine.

Sure enough, several experts, all of whom were classified as experts, stared intently at Shi Xia. If it weren't for the confidentiality regulations, they would have already asked questions.

"We have a lot of guests today, let's eat first, and we can talk about other things later."

Shi Xia made it clear, and everyone present was smart enough to understand that they wouldn't discuss official business today.

Chief Wei and his group entered.

"Old Cheng, Old Luo, what are you doing here?"

Chief Wei understood as soon as he finished asking the question.

This guy's here to kidnap someone, isn't he?
This is outrageous! They've come to my doorstep!
"You guys are really something, coming all the way to our doorstep."

Commander Cheng chuckled and said, "Old leader, I'm just going back to my hometown."

Chief Wei chuckled and said, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; don't give me that!"
