Chapter 369: No one comes to visit for no reason
Just at this time, the second room's boat also returned.
Tian Caihua immediately grabbed Jiang Xia’s hand and ran over.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhou Chenglei was putting a basket of fish and shrimps to be brought home in front of the motorcycle. When he turned around, he saw it and immediately stopped Tian Caihua.
Tian Caihua just realized that Jiang Xia couldn't run away now, so she quickly let go of Jiang Xia: "I'm going to help my second brother's wife! Xiaoxia, don't go over there!"
Zhou Chenglei took a look at Zhou Chengsen's boat. There were several loads of fish on the boat. With three men on board, it would not take more than two trips back and forth to move all the fish. He did not go over to help. Even though they caught a lot of fish, he had to send Jiang Xia home first before coming to help.
Zhou Chenglei drove his motorcycle to Jiang Xia and said, "Let's go home first."
"Okay." Jiang Xia stepped into the car.
Zhou Chenglei leaned over and held her with his hand, then said to Zhou Chengxin, "Brother, let's go home first. We caught some black tiger shrimp today. Do you want to go back to the old house for dinner?"
Zhou Chengxin shook his head: "Not today, maybe next time!"
Today everyone went out to sea as a couple. After being busy for eleven hours, who would have enough energy to prepare a large table of food?
Is it possible to let my mother cook for so many people alone?
It’s best for everyone to go home, have a simple meal, take a shower and go to bed!
Zhou Chenglei nodded: "Then let's go back first."
Tian Caihua ran over and saw that the second house's boat only had four or five loads of fish, and they were all worthless fish worth a few cents or one or two dimes. There were not many expensive fish, so she felt relieved! She only saw two of the mullets that Jiang Xia mentioned, not as many as Zhou Chenglei left behind and took home.
After all, they had been sisters-in-law for almost ten years. As soon as she saw Li Xiuxian's face, she knew that their harvest today was not very good. She pretended not to know and smiled: "I heard from Xiaoxia that we encountered a school of mullets today! Second brother, second brother and sister-in-law must have had a great harvest today? Did they go to the city to sell all the fish?"
Li Xiuxian was upset. After searching for several hours, she only saw two posts online. She said angrily, "It was Jiang Xia who encountered it, not us!"
Tian Caihua: "Ah? You two are very far away from each other? That's a pity!"
Tian Caihua knew what she wanted to know and didn't want to stay anymore.
Why are you staying here? To help Li Xiuxian with work?
She said, "I'm going home to cook first. I don't know if those brats have cooked yet."
After saying that, she glanced at Li's father and Li Qingmin, and asked Li Xiuxian: "Second brother and sister-in-law, are you going back to town tonight or staying at the old house?"
Li Xiuxian: "Live in the old house."
She was so tired, exhausted and hungry that she didn't have the energy to ride her bike back to town and cook dinner when she got home.
Zhou Chengsen: "Go back to town."
Li Xiuxian looked at him and said, "It's already past five o'clock. It's already six o'clock after we finish selling the fish. It's already dark. Why are you going back to town? It's not safe to walk at night. I'm not going back. I'm going to stay at the old house tonight."
Zhou Chengsen: "Dad and big brother are helping us go out to sea for the first time today. Please invite dad and big brother to go to a restaurant in town."
Li Xiuxian: "Just eat at home. My dad and my eldest brother are not strangers. You don't have to be so polite."
There weren't many fish to catch today. If we go to town for a meal, we'll lose money in a matter of minutes.
Father Li: "Yes! No need to waste money, we can just have a couple of bites at home."
Zhou Chengsen: "Okay, then go back and cook for dad and big brother!"
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Zhou Chengsen: "By the way, take the mullet and mackerel back to cook, and also take the fish and shrimp in the bucket back. Dad, my brother and I can just sell the fish here."
Tian Caihua smiled: "I came here by bike, come on! I'll take you home so you can hurry back to cook. Xiaoxia has been busy all day and is pregnant, so she definitely doesn't know how to cook. Alei has to take care of Xiaoxia and has no time to cook. I'm afraid our mother won't be able to handle it all by herself until seven o'clock, which will delay my father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law from going home."
Zhou Chengsen: "Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law!"
Zhou Chengsen walked over and took out a bucket filled with some mudskippers and shrimps, preparing to put the mullet and blue-spotted mackerel into the bucket.
Li Xiuxian quickly took the bucket from his hand and went to pick up some mud and jute: "Dad, big brother, it gets dark early in the winter, and it's not safe to walk at night. Why don't you go home early before it gets dark? Bring some fish back for mom and sister-in-law to eat."
She really didn't have the energy to cook anymore.
If she didn't cook this meal herself, Zhou Chengsen would definitely do anything.
Li Xiuxian handed the bucket to Li Qingmin: "Next time, come back earlier from fishing and have dinner at home! It's really a little late today, and I'm worried."
Li Qingmin was not unhappy about it. He thought that taking some fish and shrimp home would also provide a snack for his children: "Okay, then we'll move the fish to the purchasing place and go home."
Zhou Chengsen: "Next time I will invite Dad and Big Brother to go to a restaurant in town, and invite Mom and Big Sister-in-law to join us."
The one who suffers the most in eating at the old house is his mother, and then Alei and his wife also have to trouble each other.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He just felt sorry for his mother and didn't want to trouble his brother, not that he was reluctant to treat him to a meal.
It is proper for the couple to invite their father-in-law and eldest uncle to dinner, but it is not proper to trouble other people.
After all, what is the relationship between Li Xiuxian’s father and brother and his parents and brothers?
It has nothing to do with it.
*When Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei returned home, they saw a woman talking to Zhou's mother in the yard.
Zhang Aijiao saw Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei coming back and said with a smile, "A Lei, Xiao Xia is back from the sea."
"Auntie." Zhou Chenglei shouted, and Jiang Xia also shouted "Auntie".
Zhang Aijiao is the daughter-in-law of Zhou's father's cousin, and is considered a close relative of theirs in the village.
But the relationship between the two families has never been close because of the conflicts in my grandfather's generation.
Jiang Xia heard that it was Zhang Aijiao's father-in-law who borrowed 200 yuan from Zhou Chenglei's grandfather. Later, because Zhang Aijiao's father-in-law passed away, Zhou Chenglei's grandmother urgently needed money for medical treatment and went to urge them to pay back the money, but there was no IOU and the other party refused to acknowledge the debt.
From then on, the relationship between the two families became bad.
The other party suddenly came to the door today, and Jiang Xia guessed that he was looking for staff.
Zhang Aijiao responded and looked at Jiang Xia with a smile: "Alei's wife seems to be a little fatter than when she first came back."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Yes, I gained some weight. Seafood is good for your health and my mom's cooking is delicious. If you eat too much, you will gain weight."
I slept when I was full and ate when I was full a while ago. How could I not get fat? Other places were not very obvious, but Jiang Xia found that one place was a little obvious.
Preparations had already begun before the pregnancy became apparent.
"Being fat is a blessing. Look how blessed you are now. You've bought boats one after another. But it's tiring to go out to sea, right? You have so many boats. Can you handle it? Are you and your wife the only ones going out to sea today?"
"Not really. I'm going out to sea with my eldest and second brothers today."
"Two husband and wife are not enough, right? A Lei, Xiao Xia is very delicate, are you willing to let your wife go out to sea so often? A Xing has nothing to do at home, I will let him help you tomorrow. This way, Xiao Xia won't have to suffer so much when going out to sea with you."
As expected, no one comes to see you for no reason. Jiang Xia glanced at Zhou Chenglei calmly.
