Chapter 175: Setting Sail

At this time, someone else came out from the corner of the stairs: "Jiang Dong, what are you doing?"

Jiang Dong turned around and glanced at the other person when he heard this: "I accidentally bumped into someone."

He supported Zhang Fuyan and asked, "Classmate, can you stand steadily? Do I need to take you to the school clinic?"

Zhang Fuyan's eyes widened: "You are Jiang Dong, Jiang of river water, Dong of winter solstice?"

Jiang Dong nodded: "Yes!"

At this time, the person behind them recognized Zhang Fuyan and said, "Jiang Dong, this is the friend of your sister who is here to see you as I just told you."

Jiang Dong also guessed it, he had just read the letter his sister sent him.

His sister's best friend is his sister! Jiang Dong immediately said kindly: "Sister Xiaoyan, did you sprain your foot? I'll take you to the hospital?"

Zhang Fuyan's face turned black, what sister? Is she that old?

"I'm in the same class as you, in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, born on the winter solstice, so I should be younger than you."

Jiang Dong: “…”

What a coincidence! He was also born on the winter solstice, so he was named Jiang Dong, and his sister was born on the summer solstice, so she was named Jiang Xia.

Jiang Dong also knew that female comrades didn't like others calling them old, so he was very tactful and stopped calling them sister: "Comrade Xiaoyan, did you sprain your foot?"

She still held his arm and he supported her. It was not appropriate for men and women to be intimate with each other and it was not appropriate for them to be in contact for too long, but he was afraid that she would hurt her foot.

Zhang Fuyan moved her feet, and it hurt so much that she said, "It should be."

"I'll take you to the hospital."

"No, I'll just go home and get some medicinal wine. The little fish your sister gave you is at my house. Are you free to go get it now?"

Jiang Dong read his sister's letter and was about to go find Zhang Fuyan, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

Even if he didn't, he had to. He injured his sister's friend. If he didn't send her to the hospital, wouldn't his sister be angry? If she told his father, his father would break his legs if he knew he was so irresponsible! So Jiang Dong helped Zhang Fuyan downstairs, took her to the hospital on his bicycle to see a doctor, and took medicine.

When she arrived at the hospital, Zhang Fuyan's feet had swollen like buns!

Jiang Dong secretly felt lucky that he had brought her to the hospital, then took her out for dinner, and then sent her home. He also took away the half snakeskin bag of small fish and went straight back to the research institute.

He went back to school today just to help the professor borrow a book from the library, and went back to the dormitory to get a set of clean clothes.

After Jiang Dong left, Zhang Fuyan wanted to call Jiang Xia, but found that it was already eight o'clock and she didn't know if there was anyone on duty in the production team, so she wrote a letter to Jiang Xia instead.

The first sentence on the letterhead was: Xia Xia, your brother is so handsome! Warm and considerate! Your children are well-educated! ...

Ye Xian learned from her classmates that Jiang Dong had returned to school, so she rushed to his dormitory to look for him. As a result, she learned that he had left again. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth: I haven't seen him for so many days. It's rare for him to return to school, but he doesn't want to see her? I was so angry!

On the night of early August, a crescent moon like a silver hook hangs high in the night sky, casting a faint and clear glow.

The curtains in front of the window were swaying slightly in the wind. Jiang Xia was standing in front of the bed folding clothes under the dim light.

The fish cages have been lowered into the sea, and tomorrow morning, after all of Zhou Chenglei's comrades have arrived, they will set sail on a large ship out to the open sea.

Deep sea fishing usually takes ten days to half a month. Zhou Chenglei said he would be back before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

That means he will be gone for at least ten days. After taking a shower, Jiang Xia packed clothes for Zhou Chenglei.

Although he was diligent and washed his clothes after taking a shower every day, Jiang Xia still packed six sets of clothes for him in case they got wet and he had nothing to change into.

Fold the clothes one by one and put them into red, white and blue plastic bags.

After packing his clothes, Jiang Xia packed his daily necessities, such as towels, toothbrushes, razors, hangers, buckets, washbasins, etc.

When Zhou Chenglei came in after taking a shower, he saw Jiang Xia packing his luggage. Under the light, her profile was very beautiful, her soft hair emitted a little halo, and her expression was serious and gentle.

Over the years, he has traveled far and wide, even abroad to carry out missions, and he always packs his own luggage and travels light.

How can you be so well prepared? Sometimes you don’t even have time to pack your luggage before you set off.

Only she could pack everything so neatly for him.

Jiang Xia saw him coming in and said, "Everything is almost ready. See if you need anything. I forgot to buy some medicine for you to take out to sea. You'll be out at sea for so many days, so it's best to prepare some daily medicines, cold medicine, fever medicine, and medicine for gastrointestinal discomfort. I'll get up early tomorrow morning and ride my bike to the town health center to buy some."

"No need." Zhou Chenglei's heart softened. He pulled Jiang Xia into his arms and kissed her lips very hard and eagerly.

The muscles of the arm holding her waist were tense and the veins were exposed. He kissed her, picked her up with one hand and carefully placed her on the bed. With one hand, he unbuttoned his shirt, tilted his head to one side, and then moved all the way down.

The lights in the house were on all night.

Jiang Xia felt like he didn't sleep at all.

I fell asleep when it was almost dawn, but I was woken up by him again just as I fell asleep.

When Jiang Xia woke up again, it was already daybreak. She heard several people talking outside. She became anxious and quickly changed her clothes and went out.

In the yard, several strong, dark-skinned, energetic men were standing in a line and talking to Zhou Chenglei.

Zhou Chenglei seemed to have noticed something and turned back. His stern expression softened. He waved to Jiang Xia and said in a low and gentle voice, "Come here."

So the people in the queue saw for the first time how fast their leader's expression changed! When he just faced them, his expression was still cold, majestic, and indifferent! But when he turned around, he was like a spring breeze, elegant and gentle!

Jiang Xia walked forward gracefully.

Everyone immediately raised their hands and saluted: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Xia had never seen such a scene before, and didn't know how to respond, so he smiled and saluted back: "Hello, everyone!"

Fortunately, we learned to salute during military training.

Several people were instantly dazzled by Jiang Xia's smile: The leader's wife is so beautiful! So gentle! No wonder the leader has become gentle.

A tough guy with a soft heart! Zhou Chenglei introduced Jiang Xia: "This is Jiang Yang, you have met him before."

Jiang Yang said with a smile: "Long time no see, sister-in-law!"

It turns out that the rumors are not credible. Just looking at the captain and his sister-in-law, they look very loving!

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Long time no see, how are you, Sister Mei?"

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "It's good. She picked some fruits and sorted out some flowers for me to bring to you to plant."

Jiang Yang pointed under the eaves, where there were two baskets of fruit and many flower and fruit seedlings.

There were also many things placed in the yard, which should have been brought by them.

Jiang Xia took a look, smiled, thanked her, and said he would visit her next time when he had time.

Growing fruits doesn’t bring much money, and you have to depend on the weather. If the fruits can’t be sold, they will rot and you may lose all your money. It’s enough for my parents to help take care of the orchard at home, so when Jiang Yang heard that the team leader wanted to find someone to go to sea, he immediately agreed! Zhou Chenglei then introduced the comrades behind to Jiang Xia: "This is Yang Bin, Feng Jianjun, Kang Guoping, Zhang Jiayang, and Chen Guodong. They are all comrades who have been through life and death with me."

The people who were named greeted Jiang Xia one by one.

Jiang Xia also smiled and said hello.

After the introduction, Zhou Chenglei asked them to move all their things onto the boat first.

This time we are going to be out at sea for ten days, so we need to prepare drinking water, rice and vegetables.

Early in the morning, Zhou's father pulled three large snakeskin bags of rice to husk them, while Zhou's mother picked a few baskets of vegetables and corn for them to bring back on the boat to eat.

Now the ground is filled with baskets and bags of food.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Jiang Yang and his team immediately moved the things prepared on the ground onto a cart and pushed it to the dock.

Obviously, a cart couldn't hold so many things, so they just carried the rest on their shoulders and walked away.

Jiang Xia watched the pole bending and jumping up as they walked, but they walked very easily, as if they were not carrying a weight of more than 100 kilograms on their shoulders.

Jiang Xia was extremely impressed!

Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia to wash his face and brush his teeth first and then have breakfast. He went to help everyone move things onto the boat.

Jiang Xia was worried that he would go out to sea directly, so he asked, "Are you going home soon? I haven't even gone to buy some extra medicine yet."

"No need to buy them. I asked Yang Bin to bring them. He lives in town. I'll be back to get the clothes later. Go wash your face and have breakfast."

After hearing this, Jiang Xia hurried to wash up, and then quickly ate a bowl of porridge.

She saw two baskets of fruit left in the yard, so she picked up a few to eat at home and planned to have Zhou Chenglei take the rest on board.

Jiang Xia went back to the room to check if Zhou Chenglei's luggage was missing.

At this time Zhou Chenglei came back, pushed the door open and closed it.

Jiang Xia said, "I checked everything, nothing is missing."

"Um."

He stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xia into his arms, hugging her tightly: "I'm going to sea."

Jiang Xia reached out and hugged him back, resting her head on his strong chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and nodded: "Okay, everything goes smoothly and everything goes well."

Zhou Chenglei hugged her tightly for a while before letting her go. He held her face and kissed her forehead: "Wait for me to come back. I will be back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jiang Xia stood on tiptoe and kissed him again: "Okay!"

Zhou Chenglei held her waist tightly, but let go immediately.

If he didn't leave now, he didn't know when he would be able to go out to sea again.

Zhou Chenglei picked up the red, white and blue plastic bags, buckets and other things on the ground and walked out.

Jiang Xia signaled Zhou Chenglei to take the load of fruit with him as well.

He was about to refuse, as it was reserved for her to eat, but when he met Jiang Xia's gaze, he said yes.

He took a pole and carried the luggage on his shoulders.

The two walked towards the pier together.

Zhou Chenglei reminded Jiang Xia along the way to be careful if he went fishing with his father.

Don't dive when he is not around, and don't translate until too late. Remember to make a bowl of milk before going to bed every day. If you can't carry cold water to take a shower, ask his mother for help. When you are tired, leave your clothes for his mother to wash.

Don't go to the city by yourself on a bicycle, and don't go to the city by yourself in a car. If you want to go to the city to sell dried fish, ask your father to borrow a tractor to take her there.

You don’t have to get up early in the morning, just sleep until you wake up naturally, your mom won’t mind that.

He had already told his two elders all this, but he was still worried so he told Jiang Xia again.

He was worried about leaving her at home, but the ship was going out to sea for many days and there were men on board, so Jiang Xia was not suitable to go with them.

Zhou Chenglei was reluctant to leave either. Fishing in the open sea requires working day and night. It would be too tiring and dangerous to drift on the sea for more than ten days.

Not to mention the strong winds and waves, there is also the possibility of encountering pirates.

After listening to him talk a lot, Jiang Xia realized that Zhou Chenglei could be very talkative.

She didn't even know he talked so much! As he chattered on, they arrived at the pier.

Zhou Chenglei handed the things onto the boat, and then he followed on board.

Standing on the boat, he looked down at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia smiled and waved: "Good luck and God of Wealth!"

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou also smiled and said to their son: "May everything go smoothly! May everything go smoothly and may the God of Wealth be with you!"

Zhou Chenglei nodded and went to drive the boat.

The ship weighed anchor and set sail, gradually going away.
