Chapter 346 Breakfast
Breakfast was sweet potato, shrimp and sea cucumber porridge and fried rice noodles.
After Jiang Xia sat down, Zhou Chenglei came in with a bowl of milk bird's nest and two cups of milk.
Li Xiuxian took a look at the bowl of bird's nest.
Zhou Chenglei placed the bird's nest in front of her and gave the milk in the enamel cup to his two nieces.
The bird's nest was brought back from the Jiang family. Jiang's mother bought it specially and asked Jiang Xia to eat a bowl of it on an empty stomach every morning, saying it was good for the child.
Zhou Chenglei didn’t know this before, but now he knows and has called Brother Zhang to ask him to buy it for him.
Zhou Chenglei had been eating sea cucumbers for a while before he met Jiang Xia, and his health had indeed improved. He specially drove a big boat to a place where sea cucumbers were abundant, and caught them. He and his men caught hundreds of kilograms of sea cucumbers and brought them back to dry. He also bought ten kilograms of dried ones and brought them home so that Jiang Xia could eat one every day.
Later, Zhou's father also went to catch dozens of kilograms and brought them back to dry in the sun.
Today, Zhou's mother put three of them into the big pot of porridge and chopped them into small pieces.
Zhou Zhou doesn't like sea cucumbers. She thinks they are scary and dares not eat them. The porridge her mother serves her does not contain sea cucumbers, but only shrimps.
Li Xiuxian served Zhou Ying porridge, which contained many sea cucumbers.
Zhou Ying didn't dare to eat it either, but there was a lot of it in her porridge, so she pushed it to Li Xiuxian: "Mom, I don't want to eat this black stuff."
"Eat, this is delicious. Eating some is good for your health."
Zhou Ying shook her head: "I don't want it. I don't dare to eat it. It's too ugly."
"Eat!" Li Xiuxian glared at her.
Zhou Ying wanted to cry, but she didn't dare.
Zhou Chengsen: "If Yingying doesn't dare to eat, then don't eat. Why are you forcing her to do that?"
He took his daughter's bowl of porridge and picked the sea cucumber into his own bowl.
Then he found out that Li Xiuxian had given her daughter so many pieces of sea cucumber, and he felt embarrassed!
Li Xiuxian must be eager to put all the sea cucumbers in the porridge into her daughter's bowl!
Does she know that this sea cucumber was specially caught by A Lei to nourish Jiang Xia's body?
How could she be so embarrassed? Li Xiuxian: "You know your daughter always catches a cold in winter! Isn't Xiaoxia feeling better after eating? That's why I asked her to eat more!"
Zhou Chengsen didn't want to talk anymore! What kind of supplements should children take? Whose children need supplements? Go back to the village more often to roll in the mud, run on the beach, and soak in the sea water, and your body will naturally get better! Li Xiuxian asked Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, what are the benefits of eating bird's nest?"
Li Xiuxian looked at Jiang Xia's bowl of bird's nest and thought about when she was pregnant with her daughter, she had sweet potato porridge every day, which rarely contained dried shrimps.
Jiangxia drinks bird's nest milk in the morning, fish gelatin milk at night, sea cucumbers every day, and meat and fish every day. She is seen eating strawberries right after dinner. There is also a basket of fruits at home, a full cupboard of snacks, a big bag of beef jerky and pork jerky, just in case she is hungry and has nothing to eat. With this kind of treatment, those who don’t know would think she is pregnant with a national treasure!
Jiang Xia: "My mother told me to eat one bowl every day, saying it's good for the kids."
Zhou's mother was afraid that Li Xiuxian would think she was biased. When the eldest and second daughters-in-law were pregnant, the family conditions were not so good, so naturally they did not eat as well as Jiang Xia.
And this is not bought at home.
She explained, "Alei got up early in the morning and cooked it. He said his mother-in-law bought it specially for Xiaoxia and asked her to eat a bowl every morning. Is it for pregnancy protection?"
Bird's nests probably can't help with pregnancy, so Jiang Xia said, "It should be good for the baby's skin."
Li Xiuxian glanced at Jiang Xia's pink and tender skin and said, "No wonder your skin is so good. Does this have any effect on adults' skin?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "It should have some effect if you eat it for a long time."
Li Xiuxian: "Then I'll buy some to eat, too. How much is one pound?"
Her skin was fair compared to the women in the village, but not as fair as Jiangxia's. Compared with Jiangxia, she felt like stove ash.
Zhou Chenglei peeled an egg and put it in the Jiangxia porridge. He was the only one who knew and felt the deepest how good her skin was. It seemed that it was not only eaten during pregnancy, but also stewed for her every day after giving birth.
If it is a daughter, then the daughter will eat it with her every day.
Jiang Xia shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't bought it."
Li Xiuxian: "Then we went to the city to look at the mall. We have to leave early, because we have to go to the shipyard to order a boat and look at sofas today."
Zhou Chengsen kept his word and finally agreed to buy it if he could pay in installments, but don't think of causing trouble for his parents and brothers after buying it!
It’s not a trouble, then. Her dad is free, so let him help look after it.
Zhou Chenglei: "We're not going to the mall today. Second sister-in-law, if you want to buy bird's nest, go to some shops that sell tonic products."
Going to look at sofas and then to the shipyard, how could Jiangxia bear it?
Li Xiuxian: "Alei, have you ever bought it? How much is it per pound?"
Zhou Chenglei: "The cheaper ones are over 100 yuan, the more expensive ones are over 200 yuan, and the broken ones are dozens of yuan."
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Oh! She can't afford it!
So how much does it cost to eat one bowl of Jiangxia every day?
As expected, you have to work hard to make money so that you can eat bird's nest without blinking an eye.
Zhou Chenglei asked Zhou Chengsen: "Have you decided to order a boat?"

"You don't need to borrow money, just follow your second sister-in-law."
Yesterday he didn't know that he could pay in installments, so he agreed.
Zhou Chenglei nodded: "If the final payment is not enough, let me know."
Li Xiuxian breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Chengsen: “Cancel the subscription if you don’t have enough money.”
Li Xiuxian: “…”
He really makes me angry to death! I don't understand why Zhou Chengsen is so stubborn and says that he won't borrow money to live except for birth, old age, sickness and death.
She found that he was the most stubborn among the Zhou brothers.
What you say is what you mean!
Zhou's father and mother didn't say anything, but the two elders discussed last night about giving red envelopes to their son and daughter-in-law during the New Year, one thousand yuan each.
Each of my three sons bought a new boat and received a subsidy of 2,000 yuan.
Zhou's father also made a lot of money this year, and he himself is now a true millionaire.
*After breakfast, the eldest family also came over wearing new clothes.
Tian Caihua handed a lunch box to Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, I fried some sweet potato cakes, try them and see if they are delicious. It is good to eat sweet potatoes when you are pregnant. Especially in the later stages, if the baby is small and not heavy enough, eating some sweet potatoes will help the baby grow faster. This was the case when I was pregnant with Wenzu. In the later stages, the doctor said the baby was not heavy enough and asked me to go home and eat more sweet potatoes. Wenzu was born weighing more than 15 pounds! A big fat boy!"
Jiang Xia took it and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I'll eat it on the way, and now I really can't eat anymore."
She was already very full and couldn't eat any more.
Zhou Chenglei just prepared a box of oranges, some tangerines and a banana.
The oranges were peeled and the slices were put into the lunch box so that Jiang Xia could eat them whenever he wanted.
There was no more strawberry at home, but he called Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang would deliver it to the city today.
Zhou Chenglei came in with a handbasket, and Jiang Xia handed him the lunch box: "Sweet potato cakes made by my sister-in-law."
Zhou Chenglei put it in the handbasket: "Let's go!"
He had already pushed the motorcycle out the door.
Jiang Xia went out to look for Zhou Zhou.
Li Xiuxian helped her daughter comb her hair, quickly pushed Zhou Ying, and whispered, "Hurry, go tell your uncle that you want to go to the city by motorcycle. Motorcycles are more comfortable."
Since his daughter didn't want to sit, Zhou Zhou sat instead.
