Chapter 458 Fever
Jiang Xia was cleaning the ribs, preparing to chop them and marinate them, when Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengsen and their wife came back.
Zhou Chenglei was covered in mud, especially his trouser legs. When he saw Jiang Xia washing the ribs, he said, "I'll chop them later. You just leave them alone."
He first went to the corner, turned on the faucet, and washed the mud off his legs and hands.
"No need, go change your clothes and don't catch a cold." Jiang Xia continued chopping.
Although her belly is now as big as that of other babies who are six or seven months pregnant, the baby is well behaved and Jiang Xia doesn't feel uncomfortable, so she can still do simple housework such as cooking.
However, Zhou Chenglei and his mother basically didn't let her do it. They would come back to cook based on the time.
Zhou Chenglei quickly washed his hands and feet, and came over to take the knife from Jiang Xia: "I'll do it."
Jiang Xia went to the side and grabbed some fine bran to clean the lard on his hands, rinsed them, and then went to wash the vegetables: "Go change your clothes after you finish chopping."
"Don't worry, your clothes aren't wet, just a little muddy. Go sit down for a while."
Jiang Xia: "I've been sitting for a long time, every day. Doctor Gao said I should work more and not sit still."
Zhou Chenglei glared at her: "Doctor Gao just told you to walk more, not to work, don't take his words out of context."
Jiang Xia glared back! Zhou Chenglei had no way to deal with her. He couldn't win by glaring at her. His eyes were not as pretty as hers. When she glared at him, he wanted to kiss her.
He simply lowered his head and started chopping the ribs.
The last time she went for a prenatal check-up after taking the exam, Dr. Gao knew that she sat there every day reading and translating, and didn't have to do any housework or farm work at home, so he told her to walk more and move more every day. She could walk up the stairs more on rainy days, otherwise she would not have the strength to give birth.
Jiang Xia looked very delicate and dainty, and Dr. Gao was worried that she wouldn't have enough strength by then.
After all, it’s difficult for others to give birth to one child, but she gave birth to three at once.
Zhou Chenglei was also scared after hearing this.
He knew very well how strong Jiang Xia was.
The strength of a cat!
He had no idea how much effort it took to give birth to a child.
But when the eldest sister-in-law gave birth to her eldest nephew, she hired a midwife at home. He heard her hoarse and heart-wrenching voice from outside.
The midwife told her not to scream, otherwise she would not have the strength to give birth later.
My sister-in-law is just as worried as Niu about not having enough strength.
What should Jiang Xia do? Zhou Chenglei pursed his lips and quickly chopped a few ribs, as if if the ribs were chopped smoothly, Jiang Xia would give birth smoothly.
Jiang Xia took it and marinated it with seasonings, setting it aside. He then said to Zhou Chenglei, "There is also fish. Kill the golden thread fish in the refrigerator and marinate it first, then fry it and eat it later."
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei went to get the fish.
Zhou Chengsen and Li Xiuxian didn't find the snakeskin bag for manure in the old house, so they came over here to get it.
Li Xiuxian took a look at the Jiang Xia couple cooking in the kitchen with great affection, Jiang Xia directing and Zhou Chenglei working, and she felt a little sad.
They are all intellectuals and married into the Zhou family.
Jiang Xia's life is too comfortable these days.
Zhou Chengsen took the snakeskin bag and glanced at Li Xiuxian: "Still not moving?"
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Look! This will make her work! In the low toilet, Li Xiuxian wrapped her headscarf, covered her mouth and nose with a cloth, and held the bag mouth while Zhou Chengsen shoveled the fertilizer into the snakeskin bag.
Farmyard manure is actually fertilizer made from collected human and animal feces mixed with wood ash.
In this era, there are also compound fertilizers, urea and other fertilizers.
However, everyone will choose farmyard manure as base fertilizer first.
For thousands and thousands of years, the villagers here have been farming and fertilizing in this way, raising generation after generation, and no one thinks it is dirty.
But Li Xiuxian felt that this kind of work was dirty since she was a child. She didn't even do this kind of work at her parents' home, but when she came to her husband's home, she was asked to do the dirtiest and most disgusting work.
Li Xiuxian rolled her eyes at Zhou Chengsen who was working silently.
The worst and most annoying one is him!
Don’t you know how to protect your wife?
He was embarrassed to ask his elder brother to pick the fat, so he could ask Zhou Chenglei to do it.
Zhou Chenglei is his younger brother. As the younger one, shouldn’t he do whatever his older brother tells him to do?
She arranged easy tasks for him, cooked at home, and bought vegetables for him, but he didn't know how to choose easy tasks.
Marrying such a person is just full of grievances!
If she had known this earlier, she would have chosen to marry someone in the town.
But Li Xiuxian still endured it. The couple had been in a cold war for a long time and had not even had a good New Year. She just wanted to end the cold war as soon as possible.
Because of the Cold War, Zhou Chengsen never touched me.
She had secretly removed the IUD.
I have to hurry up and get pregnant, otherwise how can the baby be as big as the one Jiang Xia gave birth to? The two of them carried a cart of manure to the field.
Tian Caihua smiled and said, "Thank you, second brother and sister-in-law! The rice field has been prepared! You should spread the fertilizer quickly and then go home for dinner!"
Li Xiuxian felt like she couldn't even eat lunch.
Sure enough, after applying the fertilizer, she couldn't eat.
I went back to my old house to wash my hair and take a shower, which took more than two hours.
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
At night, Li Xiuxian took a bath for more than an hour before she felt that the smell of feces on her body was washed away.
She glanced at the person on the bed.
Zhou Chengsen has fallen asleep.
Li Xiuxian smelled her own body and it smelled sweet.
She crawled into Zhou Chengsen's bed and hugged him.
Zhou Chengsen didn't know if it was because of the rain, but he had a severe headache and felt like he had a fever. He took a packet of headache powder and went to sleep. He was woken up by her and felt dizzy. He turned his back to her and said, "Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow to sow seeds, and then go back to work. Don't expect my family to help us with these chores. We will sow the land ourselves this year."
Li Xiuxian: “…”
If Zhou Chengsen didn't go home after get off work every day to help his daughter with homework, and the couple slept in the same bed every night, she would suspect that Zhou Chengsen had someone else outside! Otherwise, they haven't had sex for four months, so doesn't he have any needs?
He doesn't have any needs, but she does.
Is it necessary to be angry for so long? And she still wants to have a son.
Li Xiuxian took the initiative to get close to him.
Zhou Chengsen dodged and said, "My head hurts. I want to take a nap."
Li Xiuxian: “…”
She was so angry that she turned her back!
*The next morning, Li Xiuxian got up and went back to town by herself without taking care of anything.
Zhou Chengsen came back from the fields, and Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei just came downstairs.
On rainy days, Jiang Xia would not allow Zhou Chenglei to go outside to run in the rain, so Zhou Chenglei would just run up the stairs and do push-ups inside the house.
Jiang Xia saw that Zhou Chengsen looked a little pale and asked, "Is your second brother feeling unwell?"
"I have a headache."
Zhou Chenglei stepped forward and touched his forehead: "You have a fever. I'll take you to the health center."
Zhou's mother came out of the kitchen holding a wheat bean cake and said, "Why are you still out in the field when you have a fever? Have some breakfast and then go to the health center."
"It's okay, I can just take a pack of fever-reducing powder after breakfast. Yingying, have you finished breakfast? Let's go back to school!"
"I'm done eating!" Zhou Ying hurried to carry her schoolbag.
Zhou Chenglei: "She must have a high fever. Her forehead is very hot. Let's go see a doctor. I'll drive you there and take Yingying to school at the same time."
So the two brothers hurriedly finished their breakfast, Zhou Chenglei drove Zhou Ying to school, told her to go find her mother after school, and then he and Zhou Chengsen went to the health center to see a doctor.
It was the same old doctor as before. He took a look at the thermometer and it was 39.8℃.
He raised his eyes through his reading glasses to look at Zhou Chenglei, pointing at Zhou Chengsen: "You should have hurriedly brought this one over. Why didn't you rush to bring the one with a temperature of 37.1℃ last time?"
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
I have never seen a doctor with such a good memory!
