Chapter 35 He was ready to catch her, but...
Zhou Chenglei was ready to catch her! In the end, Jiang Xia realized that they were just two geese, what was there to be afraid of? They were not snakes!
She turned around so suddenly that the two geese were stunned.
Jiang Xia quickly grabbed the neck of a goose that was stretched out and lifted it up! At this time, another goose also reacted and attacked. She grabbed the goose's neck again and lifted it up high!
Jiang Xia lifted the two geese high up. It was a bit strenuous, but she had to maintain her momentum. She said fiercely, "Bite! Are you going to bite me or not? If I don't show my power, you think I'm a sick cat, right?"
"Tell me, will you dare to do it again next time? If you dare to bite me again, I will kill you and stew you!"
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
Zhou Chenglei put down his hand and walked over.
Jiang Xia cursed a few words and put the two geese down.
The two geese attacked her again.
She grabbed their heads again and lifted them up!
He stared into their eyes with a fierce look: "Are you coming again? I'll stew you!"
Two lion-headed geese: "..."
This time when Jiang Xia put them down again, the two big guys didn't dare and ran away immediately!
Zhou Chenglei chuckled.
Jiang Xia looked back at him after hearing the voice. Thinking of his fierce appearance just now, he felt a little embarrassed: "These two geese are so fierce, chasing me and biting me."
Jiang Xia glanced at the two geese, which were now walking around the yard, as if patrolling a new territory.
Zhou Chenglei pressed down the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Well, the geese are a bit fierce. I'll stew them for you next time. I'll go and lock them up."
From the way she looked just now, it seemed like she was getting more and more adapted to life in the village.
She used to hate the chickens and ducks at home so much that she would cover her nose when she saw them.
The corners of Zhou Chenglei's mouth rose unconsciously, and he strode towards the two geese. Perhaps animals all have the instinct to catch danger. When the two geese saw Zhou Chenglei approaching, they immediately ran away. There was no sign of them chasing Jiang Xia and biting him just now.
It was like a mouse seeing a cat! Jiang Xia gritted his teeth: These two bullies who only care about the strong and the weak will be stewed sooner or later!
Zhou Chenglei took a step forward, bent down, and grabbed a goose by the neck with his long arm. He took another step, stretched his waist, and caught the second one.
He picked up the two goose heads, walked to the back of the house and locked them up.
Zhou Chenglei locked up the two geese and came out, only to see Jiang Xia taking out the strawberry seedlings and some flower seedlings.
He went to the utility room and took out a hoe: "Which of these fruit trees and flowers are you going to plant?"
Jiang Xia had already thought about it, and pointed to a corner of the wall near the well: "The pomegranates can be planted next to the patio. Pomegranates have good meanings, and the flowers are red and festive. They can also be planted in the front yard. The grapes can be planted on the other side and a grape trellis can be built later."
Zhou Chenglei couldn't help but look at her. Grapes have many seeds, guavas have many seeds, and persimmons represent good luck. Is she hinting at something by buying so many of them?
Jiang Xia didn't pay attention to him and continued, "The guava and persimmon trees are planted behind the house?"
"Okay, then plant the strawberries and these flowers in the corner?" Zhou Chenglei asked.
"That's what I planned to do, but I'm afraid the chickens will peck the strawberries." The old hen takes a group of chicks around every day.
Zhou Chenglei: "The strawberries are first planted in pots, and when they bear fruit, they can be placed on the wall. There seem to be two old pots behind the house."
He went to the back of the house and got two old flower pots and an old wooden basin with broken edges: "If the flower pots can't hold the plants, plant them in the wooden basins first, and then change the pots when the time comes."
Jiang Xia took a look: it was an earthen flowerpot, the same color as the tiles, very small, and could only grow one strawberry plant. She nodded.
Zhou Chenglei first dug a hole in the corner to plant pomegranates, put the dug mud into flower pots and wooden basins, and moved them to a place under the eaves where the sun would not be too strong, and asked Jiang Xia to plant strawberries in it.
He continued to dig holes and plant fruit trees.
After Jiang Xia finished planting strawberries and flowers, Zhou Chenglei also dug all the holes.
The couple was working on the soil while one was holding the fruit tree. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on them, and the yard was exceptionally peaceful and tranquil.
Not long after, Zhou's father came back with two bundles of bamboo on an iron cart, and Zhou Zhou followed behind to help push it.
When Zhou Zhou came in, he called out sweetly, "Uncle, Aunt."
Then he ran to Zhou Chenglei and asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Grow grapes for Zhou Zhou to eat. Does Zhou Zhou like to eat grapes?"
Zhou Zhou nodded happily: "I like it."
When Zhou's father saw this, he asked, "No wonder you asked me to cut some bamboos. Are you going to use them to build a grape trellis?"
"Um."
Jiang Xia: "Dad, Zhou Zhou, there are pineapples and grapes in the room."
Father Zhou was not very interested in the fruit: "I don't like fruit, you guys eat it."
"We have all eaten, and I left this for you and Zhou Zhou."
"Then Zhou Zhou helped grandpa eat it."
When Zhou Zhou heard this, he ran into the house, put down the military green five-pointed star cross-body backpack that had been washed to a pale color, and ran to wash his hands.
After washing her hands, she ran back to the house and took a look at the two pieces of pineapple. Seeing that there were only two pieces, she didn't dare to take them. She picked a grape and put it in her mouth.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Sweet and sour, very satisfying.
She was reluctant to spit out the skin, so she ate it too, and spat the grape seeds into her palm, collected them, and planted them later.
After eating two grapes and a few hawthorns, I didn't dare eat any more.
After Jiang Xia finished planting the flowers, he went into the house and took a look. He saw that Zhou Zhou had not eaten two pieces of pineapple, and there was no change in the grapes and hawthorns.
Children who have no parents and live under other people's roof are so cautious that they dare not eat too much.
Jiang Xia picked up a piece of pineapple with a toothpick and gave it to her: "Why doesn't Zhou Zhou eat pineapple? Grandpa doesn't eat it, so Zhou Zhou must have eaten it! It's not good to soak it for too long."
Zhou Zhou then took it and smiled shyly at Jiang Xia: "Thank you, little aunt."
At last, he doesn't look timid anymore.
Jiang Xia patted her head and said, "Zhou Zhou, remember to eat the remaining piece of pineapple. If it's soaked for too long, it can't be eaten. Don't waste it."
"Hmm." Zhou Zhou finished eating a piece of pineapple, picked up the remaining piece with a toothpick, sat on the doorstep, licked it, and then took a small bite. He felt unprecedented satisfaction in his heart, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Eating two pieces of pineapple in a row was something she had never tried before.
In the past, she could only eat a small piece or corner, as the big pieces were eaten by her brothers.
*After Jiang Xia went out and worked with Zhou Chenglei to plant the fruit trees, Zhou Chenglei brought a bucket of water to water the newly planted saplings. When Jiang Xia saw him watering, he also poured two spoonfuls of water on the manhole cover made last night.
She asked curiously, "Why are you pouring water on the manhole cover?"
Zhou Chenglei walked to the backyard carrying a bucket of water and replied, "This way the cement board will harden faster."
Jiang Xia understood.
When Zhou Chenglei finished his work, Father Zhou said, "Alei, your elder brother and his friends should be back from the sea. Come with me to help pick up the goods."
Zhou Chenglei responded, "Okay."
Jiang Xia thought of Tian Caihua who also went to help last time. Although she mostly looked at the situation, she still helped, so she said, "I'll go help too!"
Zhou Chenglei: "No need, my dad and I can go alone."
Zhou's father also said no.
Jiang Xia didn't insist.
She estimated that Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's father would not come back so soon, so she put the water chestnuts in the pot to boil first, saving them for a snack in the evening, and then started to wash the vegetables and cook.
When the water chestnuts were ripe, Jiang Xia filled a bowl with them, then took a basket, picked up a few mangoes and two large bunches of grapes and sent them to his great-grandmother's house.
As soon as I went out, I met Zhou Chenglei and his friends coming back.
Jiang Xia was a little surprised that it was so fast, but when she saw Tian Caihua's gloomy face, she guessed that no fish was caught today.
When Tian Caihua saw the basket of fruits in Jiang Xia's hand, her expression improved a little. She thought it was for her.
It’s the day of the college entrance examination: I wish all the candidates to pick up the pen calmly and smoothly, to achieve their wishes, and to make their dreams come true wherever the pen goes!
