Chapter 427 The More You Shout, the More You Walk

The next day, it was still cloudy, but at least it didn't rain early in the morning.

After breakfast, at 7:50, Zhou Chenglei went to the garage in the backyard and started the car.

Because we had been planning to buy a car and we also had a tractor, we built three rooms in the backyard of the house, which can be used to store sundries and also as a garage.

After he started the car, he went back into the house, took the translated book into the car and put it in the back.

Since I have a lot of children with me this time, I won’t send dried fish as they won’t fit in the bag.

Zhou Chenglei only took the New Year gifts for Editor-in-Chief Fan and Zhang Rong.

He will drive the tractor to deliver the goods to the city tomorrow and send out the New Year gifts to his comrades and old leaders at the same time.

After all the things were loaded into the car, Zhou Chenglei drove the car to the front yard and let Jiang Xia and the children get in.

After he stopped the car, he got out and helped Jiang Xia get in.

Wen Wan was reading a book in the room. When she heard the sound of a car, she quickly opened the window and looked out. She saw Zhou Chenglei helping Jiang Xia get into the car.

A group of children were excited and chattering as they rushed to get on the bus.

Are they planning to take the children to the city to play and submit the translation manuscript? Thinking of this, Wen Wan hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zhou! Are you going to the city?"

With a "bang", Zhou Chenglei closed the passenger door and went around to check whether the rear doors were closed. He closed them one by one and did not hear Wen Wan calling him.

He went straight back to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in.

Wen Wan rushed out of the balcony and shouted, "Brother Zhou, please wait! Brother Zhou, can you give me a ride?"

The jeep has sped away.

Wen Wan: “…”

Zhou's mother did hear it. She was in the kitchen cooking chicken feed for the chickens and didn't do anything even though she heard it.

That car is not a passenger car. There is not enough space for the children, so how can there be space for her? Besides, are the two families on good terms? They had a quarrel a while ago.

Zhou Bingqiang's wife helped Wen Wan chase out and shouted: "Alei, wait! Alei!"

The kids were making so much noise in the car that they almost blew off the roof. Zhou Chenglei had poor hearing and couldn't hear anything! Zhou Bingqiang's wife muttered, "The more they yell, the more they walk away. Is it a dog?"

***The road out of the village was still muddy. Even though Zhou Chenglei was used to driving on all kinds of roads and tried his best to drive the car more smoothly, the road was still too muddy and bumpy.

He said to his nephews, "When you ask your aunt to take you out in the future, don't choose a rainy day. Your aunt can't stand such a muddy road."

The brothers hurriedly said, "Okay."

When passing by the town, Zhou Chenglei turned to Zhou Chengsen's house and planned to take Zhou Ying with him.

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened it.

The second brother still had to go to work, but the elementary school had finished its closing ceremony and the teachers were on holiday, so he thought Li Xiuxian and Zhou Ying should be at home.

Zhou Chenglei went downstairs and drove away.

As the jeep drove along the road, people on the road couldn't help but look sideways.

There are too few jeeps in town.

When passing by Zhou Chengsen's workplace, Jiang Xia said, "Go ask my second brother where Yingying and my second sister-in-law are, and we can go look for her."

Zhou Chenglei parked the car on the side of the road and went into Zhou Chengsen's office to find him.

Zhou Chenglei came out soon, "They went back to their mother's house last night."

Jiang Xia: "Then let's go!"

The jeep drove smoothly all the way to the city. The road was easy to drive on and there were no cars on the road. It only took more than thirty minutes to arrive from the town.

It was raining in the city, so Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia and the children to stay in the car while he brought the New Year gifts and the manuscripts to be translated to Editor-in-Chief Fan.

When Zhou Chenglei came out, in addition to holding a large box of foreign books and magazines to be translated, he was also carrying a large bag of New Year gifts given by Fan Lili.

Jiang Xia watched Zhou Chenglei put the books in the back, waited for him to get in the car, took a clean towel to wipe the water off his hair and clothes, and asked: "Why do you have so many foreign books? When will you hand them in?"

Zhou Chenglei took the towel and wiped it himself: "There is no rush to translate these books. We can slowly submit the manuscripts after the Spring Festival when the publishing house is back to work."

There is no need to go out to sea during the first month of the year. Now that cold waves are frequent, there is more free time at home, so Zhou Chenglei took all the books that the publishing house wanted to translate!

After translating this box of books, I can earn 2,000 yuan, which is not a bad income during the first month of the year.

Most of the books in this box are in English, so Jiang Xia won’t be tired.

After leaving the publishing house, Zhou Chenglei drove them to the mall.

It was raining in the city. He parked the car in front of the shopping mall, then got out first, went to the back seat holding an umbrella, picked up a few children, and finally picked up Jiang Xia.

"Go into the jewelry store and wait for me. I'll go park the car."

Otherwise, it would be cold if you stand at the entrance of the shopping mall and wait because of the strong wind.

Jiang Xia was worried that the children would not be able to sit still in the jewelry store, so he said, "I'll take them to buy gifts."

"OK."

Jiang Xia took a few children to buy a game console.

Zhou Chenglei watched Jiang Xia go in before driving the car to the parking space.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It was said that if you got 100 points in the exam you would get a game console, so Jiang Xia only bought three.

Then those who get a ranking get to choose something they like.

Zhou Wenyao picked out a flint gun, which was made of iron sheet and loaded with flint. When he pulled the trigger, the gun would make a sound and a red light would flash at the muzzle!

Zhou Wenyao saw some people in his class playing and said that kids in the city have been playing recently, which is awesome!

So Zhou Wenzong and Zhou Wenzu both chose flintlock guns.

Jiang Xia asked Zhou Zhou: "Are you sure you want to choose two game consoles?"

Zhou Wenzu winked at Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou nodded: "Yeah."

She doesn't like guns either. She has dolls and stuffed animals and doesn't like anything else.

Jiang Xia also gave each child a plastic rubber band gun.

Zhou Chenglei asked Zhou Chengsen and learned that Zhou Ying also ranked in the top ten in the class. Jiang Xia knew that Zhou Ying liked dolls and had always wanted one, so he picked out the most beautiful doll and gave it to her.

When Zhou Chenglei found them, they had just finished choosing. Jiang Xia paid the money and then bought each of them a set of clothes to wear during the New Year. Then he took them to the jewelry store to find Zhang Rong.

A few children stayed on the sofa playing video games, while Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei talked to Zhang Rong.

Zhou Chenglei handed a small piece of agarwood he had sawed off to Zhang Rong: "Could you please ask if anyone wants to buy agarwood for me?"

Zhang Rong took a small piece of agarwood from Zhou Chenglei's hand with surprise and smelled it: the smell was fresh, a bit like the scent of flowers, and a bit cool, the fragrance was transparent, refreshing, and it made people feel relaxed and happy when they smelled it.

He doesn't understand agarwood, but he thinks it is definitely good agarwood.

He had ever smelled the old man's agarwood bracelet, but it didn't smell as good as this one.

"Did you fish it out of the sea again?"

Zhou Chenglei: "No, I found it on the beach."

Zhang Rong: “…”

Does it make a difference? Woohoo, he doesn't want to be a manager anymore, he wants to be a fisherman!

"When I have time, I will definitely go out to sea with you!"

He wants to fish for jade, he wants to pick up pearls, he wants to fish for agarwood! Zhou Chenglei: "If you want to go out to sea one day, just call me in advance."

"Okay." Zhang Rong sniffed the small piece of agarwood again: "This fragrance is really good! Could it be imported agarwood? Was it washed off the ship during transportation due to storms? There must be more than one piece."

Zhou Chenglei: “I don’t know.”

"It must be. I'll go find Chenxiang too! Chenxiang has been rising this year, just like the share price of Hong Kong Islanders!"

Jiang Xia smiled and asked, "Second brother, do you know the current price of agarwood?"
