Chapter 269 Wow, this new form of affection!

"We came back early because the boat couldn't fit all the gear." Father Zhou stopped his motorcycle, got down to help, and replied with a smile.

Today I encountered a school of white mullet and a school of Spanish mackerel. I pulled several nets and caught nothing but white mullet and Spanish mackerel.

Each net contained four to five hundred kilograms of white carp, and nearly a thousand kilograms of Spanish mackerel meat. The fishing boats were soon filled to the brim, so they had to return home early.

Father Zhou felt that the boat at home was not enough for going out to sea! Mother Zhou laughed and said that the boat could not hold all the food. Haha…

Today is another fruitful day.

Zhou Chenglei followed Zhou's father closely, stopped his bicycle and came to Jiang Xia's side. He took the peanut vine from her arms and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

Jiang Xia smiled and nodded, whispering, "I can hardly stand up straight. Did you get a good harvest today?"

"Well, I made nearly two thousand yuan. I put the money in the safe." Zhou Chenglei put the peanut vines on the cart and glanced at her.

Her face was a little dirty and she looked tired, but her eyes were bright and she had a smile on her face. He felt a little depressed and wanted to hug her, but there were too many people around, so he could only quietly put his hand on her lower back and look her up and down.

I have to give her a good massage tonight, otherwise she will have muscle soreness tomorrow.

Jiang Xia was about to bend down to move the peanut vines onto the cart, but Zhou Chenglei grabbed Jiang Xia's arm and stopped her: "Hold on to the bicycle while I tie the peanut vines to it."

Jiang Xia just held the bicycle.

Zhou Chenglei first used a shoulder pole to string the two baskets together, and then put them on the back of the bicycle.

The shoulder pole was placed on the rear rack, and the two baskets were placed on both sides of the bicycle, one on the left and one on the right.

Then he stuffed bundle after bundle of peanut vines into the basket. When the basket was full, he piled bundle after bundle on top.

He didn't tie the peanut vines tightly until they were taller than him.

It was the first time that Jiang Xia saw a bicycle that could carry so many things! In her previous life, she used a motorcycle to go to the wholesale market to carry vegetables, but she couldn't carry so much! Even if there were two bicycles, a motorcycle and two carts, it would be impossible to carry all the peanut vines from two acres of land at once. Zhou Chenglei said, "Mom, Xiao Xia and I will carry this cart of peanut vines back first, and then we can push the cart later!"

The cart was not full yet, and everyone was tying up the peanut vines in the field and moving them to the roadside. Zhou's mother said, "Okay!"

So Zhou Chenglei got on his bicycle and waved to Jiang Xia: "Come here, let's go home first, you sit in front of me."

It means sitting on the horizontal bar in front.

Jiang Xia thought that she still had to prepare dinner, and if she went back early she could prepare it first, so she didn't refuse.

Jiang Xia walked to the side of the bicycle and was considering whether she could jump onto the horizontal bar and sit on it. Zhou Chenglei put his arm around her waist and carried her onto the horizontal bar.

Jiang Xia subconsciously grabbed the crossbar of the front of the car to steady himself.

Zhou Chenglei waited until she was seated firmly before letting go and holding the bicycle handlebars with both hands, thus holding her whole body in his arms.

Everyone couldn't help but look over.

In those days, the front crossbar of the 28-meter-long bicycle was large enough for people to sit on.

But usually children sit in the car, and adults sit in the back.

Zhou Chenglei is really brave! There are too many people here, Jiang Xia subconsciously wants to look around, but before he can see other people's reactions, the bicycle starts moving, and Zhou Chenglei's voice rings in his ears: "Lean on me when you are tired."

"I'm not tired, just pedal faster!" Jiang Xia didn't even look at other people's reactions. The car was already on, so the right thing to do was to hurry.

Zhou Chenglei looked down at her slightly red face, a smile in his eyes. Knowing that she was shy, he sped up.

The fields are vast and the sky is dark and golden.

The golden sunset covered half the sky in a domineering, gorgeous and magnificent manner.

A bicycle, two people, and a peanut vine as tall as a hill behind them, walking steadily on a path in the field.

The setting sun fell on them, and their long shadows swept across one peanut field after another.

Father Zhou was carrying a bundle of peanut vines and turned around to see such a beautiful picture!

Oh, this new loving pose is so beautiful! It’s a pity that he didn’t bring a camera, otherwise he would take a picture and stick it on the boat to attract wealth!

Father Zhou admired the sunset and the sunset in the sky. The more he looked at them, the more they looked like gold! Well, tomorrow's source of wealth must be as gorgeous and dazzling as the sunset and black gold in the sky.

This overwhelming wealth is falling on that young couple!

Zhou's father's smile was as bright as the setting sun.

Zhou Chenglei pedaled his bicycle steadily along the path in the field. When he passed a bamboo forest, there was no one around. He lowered his head and kissed Jiang Xia: "Lean on me when you are tired."

Isn't she tired of keeping her waist tense all the time?

Anyway, this is what everyone sees, so it doesn't matter whether she relies on it or not.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Xia leaned into his arms.

She was really tired, and her waist felt like it was going to break! Zhou Chenglei felt a little distressed: "Next time, you can translate at home and not go out to work. It's okay. I'll come back and do it."

His mother didn't tell her that the family was harvesting peanuts today. If she had known, she wouldn't have gone out to sea today, or she would have taken her out to sea with her.

Jiang Xia: "It's okay. Doing some farm work can help you exercise."

Besides, they are going to Suicheng tomorrow afternoon, so it would not be a good idea to leave all the work in the fields to the two elders and the first wife.

Zhou Chenglei: “…”

He wanted her but didn't want her to be too tired, but she wanted to exercise by doing farm work.

She wanted to exercise, and he could definitely help her! "Next time you want to exercise, tell me and I'll help you."

Jiang Xia: “I don’t run.”

Zhou Chenglei: "I don't mean running."

Jiang Xia: “…”

I couldn't help but reach out and pinch his arm!

She was afraid that it was not exercise, but kidney deficiency.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

His arms were very strong and she couldn't pinch them. Zhou Chenglei's eyebrows raised.

Zhou Chenglei brought Jiang Xia back home, where Zhou Wenguang and his brothers and Zhou Zhou were cooking.

After Zhou Chenglei unloaded the peanut vines, he brought two buckets of hot water to Jiang Xia and went into the shower room: "Go take a shower first."

Then he said to his nephews and nieces, "Your aunt is tired today, so don't let her cook. If you can make dinner and not let your aunt do it, your uncle will reward you with 10 yuan pocket money each."

When the children heard this, they immediately saluted in unison: "Don't worry, uncle, we promise to complete the task and will never let aunt get close to the stove!"

Jiang Xia said with a smile: "Don't enslave child labor!"

Zhou Chenglei: "What kind of child labor are they? I could wash clothes and cook when I was six! Go take a shower! I'll go get the peanuts from the field."

After Zhou Chenglei gave the instructions, he hurriedly rode his bicycle to help.

Jiang Xia wanted to go to the kitchen to see if he needed help, but the children chased him out. They told him not to stop them from making money to buy comic books and marbles! Jiang Xia had no choice but to wash his hair and take a bath.

***At six o'clock the next morning, Jiang Xia woke up in Zhou Chenglei's arms. She didn't feel any muscle soreness at all. She asked Zhou Chenglei: "How long did you massage me last night?"

Anyway, she fell asleep soon after lying on the bed, without saying a word to him.

"It won't be long. Go back to sleep and don't go to the fields today. Pack your clothes at home and prepare some things to take on the boat. I'll go to the fields."

They are going to Suicheng in the afternoon. They picked peanuts until ten o'clock last night and didn't have time to pack their clothes.

Moreover, Zhou Chenglei decided to take a big ship to Suicheng, so that he could take Jiang Xia to see the coral reefs.

When Zhou's father heard that Zhou Chenglei was going to Xisha, he said that he wanted to go too. Anyway, the rice at home would not be harvested until half a month later, so he could ask someone to help harvest the sweet potatoes.

Zhou Chenglei hugged the person in his arms and kissed her face: "I'm up."

He had been awake for a while, and when he wanted to get up, he found that Jiang Xia was also awake. He was afraid of waking Jiang Xia up and wanted her to sleep a little longer, so he lay there without moving.

"Yeah." Jiang Xia raised his head slightly.

Zhou Chenglei then withdrew his arm, sat up and got out of bed.

Jiang Xia was not used to staying in bed, so after he got up, she got up too.

One of the couple packed clothes and prepared things for departure at home, while the other went to the field to continue harvesting peanuts from the remaining acre of land.

There are a lot of things you need to prepare when you go out on a boat.

At noon, Jiang Xia took some time to call Jiang Dong. Jiang Dong just said that it was okay, he already knew who spread the rumor, and asked her not to worry.

Jiang Xia reminded him of the bet before hanging up.

Then Jiang Xia called Zhang Fuyan again and found out what happened yesterday morning.

Zhang Fuyan also said that she would help her keep an eye on Jiang Dong and let her rest assured. Zhang Fuyan also said that Jiang Dong would also go to the Guangzhou Trade Fair because the vacuum packaging machine had been manufactured and he would also participate in this Guangzhou Trade Fair.

When Jiang Xia learned that Jiang Dong would also go to the Guangzhou Trade Fair, he hung up the phone without saying much.

In the afternoon, Zhou Chenglei left enough money for Zhou's mother, asking her to hire two or three women to help harvest sweet potatoes, and to invite Zhou Yongguo and Zhou Chengxin to go out to sea together. He also asked his great-grandfather to help take care of the home and the new house, and that the second floor of the new house could also be built.

Because Zhou Chenglei planned to set up the room on the second floor, but the top floor would be hotter, the foreman of the construction team suggested that they build three floors, since they had already planned to build two and a half floors anyway.

Zhou Chenglei agreed immediately. It was not like before when there was not enough money, so building one more floor didn’t matter much.

After arranging everything at home, they set off on the big ship.
