Chapter 158 Jealous
The tractor left the food factory, and Zhou Chenglei asked casually, "Are you familiar with Director Fang's family?"
Jiang Xia was not familiar with them at all. She recalled the contents of the book and there was no mention of the two characters, the food factory director and Jing Xuan.
After all, the original owner is not the heroine, and the author would not make the interpersonal relationships in the family of a cannon fodder female supporting role so clear.
Jiang Xia felt that given the status of Jiang's father and mother, many people who knew her identity would act very familiar, but Fang Aiyuan did not seem to be that familiar.
Could it be that Jingxuan was the friend that the original owner had played with since childhood? Damn it, she really had no impression of him at all!
Jiang Xia could only respond vaguely: "Yeah."
She changed the subject: "Since it's on the way, why don't we go to the shipyard to buy anchors and anchor chains? Aren't we going to fix the cages?"
Zhou Chenglei tightened his grip on the tractor handle. He could tell that she was trying to change the subject.
"good."
There is no rush to buy the anchor and anchor chain, you can just buy them on the day you take over the ship, but Zhou Chenglei still agreed.
So the two of them visited the shipyard again.
After getting off the tractor and walking into the shipyard, Jiang Xia saw that Zhou Chenglei's face was accidentally stained with some tractor oil. She grabbed his hand, motioning him to stop, and she raised her hand to help him wipe it clean.
Zhou Chenglei lowered his head and watched her hook one hand around his neck, stand on tiptoe, look up and carefully and attentively help him wipe the dirt off his face.
He put his long arms around her waist and bent down so that she wouldn't have to stand on tiptoe. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and the bitterness in his heart disappeared.
Who cares if it’s Jingche or Jinggan, or if he’s waiting for her at Tsinghua University!
He couldn't wait any longer! Jiang Xia was already his wife, legitimate and true wife.
The shipyard guard was awakened by the sound of the tractor. He looked out and quickly covered his eyes. Ouch, is this something he can see? After Jiang Xia helped him clean it, the two of them greeted the guard with a smile on their faces and went in.
Director Zhou saw the two men coming again and guessed, "Is it because the new ship is launching and the date needs to be changed?"
The launching of a new boat is a big event. Fishermen are generally superstitious and will choose an auspicious day that matches their family's horoscope, so sometimes they will encounter situations where someone wants to change the date.
Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head: "No, we came here to buy a few anchors and some anchor chains."
Director Zhou: "What kind of anchor do you want?"
Zhou Chenglei: "A navy anchor will do."
Director Zhou asked again: "What size ship do you want? I will provide it for you."
Different tonnage ships require different anchor weights. For example, for a large ship of 200,000 tons, the weight of the anchor is generally about 10 tons.
Zhou Chenglei: "No, it's not used on the ship. We only need the smallest naval anchor, four of them, and four 8-knot anchor chains."
There are many kinds of anchors. The naval anchor is a type of rod anchor and also the anchor with the oldest history. It is characterized by its strong holding power and ability to firmly grasp into various soils. Its disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to release and retract.
But Zhou Chenglei uses it to fix the net cages on the seabed to prevent the net cages from being swept away during typhoons, so it is enough to hold it firmly, and there is no need for it to be easy to fold and unfold.
Director Zhou nodded: "Okay, I get it. How about the old one? It's much cheaper. Otherwise, if you buy so many, even if I give you a discount, it will cost at least two thousand yuan!"
Jiang Xia immediately said, "An old one will do, as long as it's cheap."
It turned out that the old one was not cheap either, it was all rusty, and it cost a thousand yuan, and that was the result of Jiang Xia’s constant bargaining!
Director Zhou even said that he had suffered a huge loss! Jiang Xia, who held the financial power, paid a thousand yuan with a painful heart, and the two left.
The anchor and anchor chain together are very heavy. When the big ship was delivered, Zhou Chenglei shipped it out to sea. It is impossible to bring it back now.
It was already past five o'clock when Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei returned home.
There was a tractor parked on the path in front of the house, blocking their way.
There was half a load of bricks on the tractor.
Jiang Xia saw a man with his upper body naked, standing on the tractor bed, holding something like pliers, clamping a few bricks and moving them to the pile of bricks on the ground that was half a person's height.
Zhou's father was also helping to move the bricks, he was moving them one by one with his hands.
Jiang Xia shouted, "Dad, the bricks were delivered so quickly?"
Father Zhou wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Yes, send 5,000 bricks today and continue tomorrow."
"oh."
Zhou Chenglei said to Jiang Xia, "You go home first. I will unload the things from the tractor and drive it back to the production team."
"Okay!" Jiang Xia responded and got off the tractor.
Zhou Chenglei helped her up.
Jiang Xia only took the two hundred or so packaging bags at his feet, "You're going to move the rest in? I'll take these bags in."
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei responded.
When Jiang Xia returned to the yard, Zhou Zhou was sitting on a small stool, using a chair as a table, doing his homework.
There was not enough light in the room at this time. In order to save electricity, Zhou Zhou moved a chair to the yard to do his homework after school these days.

When she saw Jiang Xia coming back, she greeted her politely, "Auntie."
Jiang Xia smiled and responded, "Be careful not to lower your head too much when doing homework, otherwise you will become nearsighted in the future."
"Okay, I'm almost done."
Jiang Xia didn't care much about it. The homework for first graders is not much and can be finished in ten minutes, so it won't cause myopia.
Zhou Chenglei made three trips back and forth before he could unload the several boxes of food that the food factory gave to Jiang Xia for tasting.
Jiang Xia looked around to see what was available and found quite a few cans of luncheon meat, as well as various biscuits, sandwich biscuits, flower biscuits, soda crackers, salty, sweet, and cheese-flavored ones, both in bulk and in tin boxes, as well as various candies, shortbread, walnut cakes, moon cakes, and even two boxes of instant noodles.
Canned luncheon meat and some biscuits are the major exports of the food factory, but the situation of instant noodles Jiangxia is uncertain.
But Jiang Xia will try every kind of food so that he can know what they are.
Jiang Xia told Zhou Zhou that there were lots of biscuits and candies, and asked her to take them after she finished her homework, eat whatever she wanted, and also bring some for her brothers and Zhou Jie.
Then she took two cans of luncheon meat to cook. Zhou's mother should have gone to the dock or to wash the vegetables.
For dinner, there was stir-fried cucumber with luncheon meat, fried eggs with luncheon meat, and stir-fried macaroni. Because the Zhou family was used to eating seafood and loved fish, Jiang Xia also made a dish of pan-fried redwood dried fish, which was fried until both sides were golden brown, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions and red pepper.
Just four simple dishes, each one looks appetizing.
After Zhou Zhou finished her homework, she came over to help light the fire. Jiang Xia saw her swallowing several times while looking at the luncheon meat.
I don’t know if it’s because the pork of this era is all from local pigs and the ingredients are better, or because the quality of the exported ones is better, but Jiang Xia thinks the luncheon meat from the food factory is delicious.
People in the family rarely eat meat, and they all thought it was delicious, especially Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Chenglei thought that the fried redwood dried fish made by Jiangxia was more delicious and very fragrant. He ate five bowls of rice.
The luncheon meat had a bit too much seasoning for him.
Every time Jiang Xia cooks, he eats five bowls of rice, but usually he only eats four bowls.
After eating five bowls of rice and replenishing enough energy, Jiang Xia was tossed and turned three times that night.
My legs were weak when I woke up the next day.
Jiang Xia hadn't been out to sea for several days. She got up sleepily and wanted to go out to sea with the others, but when she changed her clothes, she found that her pants were a little red.
“…”
Jiang Xia looked up at Zhou Chenglei.
