Chapter 499 Young Couple
Jiang Xia pulled Zhou Chenglei and quickly quickened their pace toward the village entrance to see where they were going.
"Slow down!" Zhou Chenglei was habitually sensitive to his surroundings and had already seen the two people passing by.
When Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei walked out of the village, they saw two people walking to a brand new car, opening the door, getting in and leaving.
The landlady also came out and asked, "Do you know the young couple driving the car?"
Jiang Xia: "Young couple?"
The landlady said: "Yes, they rented a house in our village just like you, but they only rented it for one or two months. They said they had already bought a house and moved in after renovating it."
After saying that, the landlady sighed: "That young couple is really rich!"
Drive a car and buy a house.
Jiang Xia asked, "Which building did they rent? They only rented it for a month or two. Is it yours too?"
"No, it's from another person in our village. They thought my house was too expensive, so they didn't rent it. Instead, they rented the last house in the alley behind. That house is old and dirty. Even though they are rich, they are reluctant to pay a few more dollars every month. It's true that the richer you are, the stingier you are."
Jiang Xia smiled and said nothing more: "Auntie, we are leaving first. Please clean the house carefully."
The house has four rooms, each with a bed and wardrobe. There are also wooden chairs in the living room, and some old furniture for the dining table, all of which are solid wood furniture, well maintained, but it has been unoccupied for a long time, so there is a bit of dust everywhere.
Jiang Xia gave two dollars to the landlady and asked her to help clean up all the dust inside and outside the house so that they could move in directly.
The landlady happily agreed.
The landlady smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure it is spotless! I will even sweep away the cobwebs on the roof."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang Xia said goodbye to the landlady again and drove the tractor to Jiang's house with Zhou Chenglei.
Jiang's father came back from a business trip, and the two went back to see their parents.
I called in advance last night and said I would be home for lunch today.
It was already twelve o'clock when the couple returned to Jiang's house.
Father Jiang was cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron.
Hearing the door open, he ran out with a spatula in his hand. His eyes immediately fell on his daughter, his eyes widened.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei greeted them at the same time: "Dad, Mom, Aunt Feng."
Aunt Feng is the aunt in the family.
Jiang's mother was arranging fruits on the coffee table. She looked up and was stunned for a moment: "I haven't seen you for a while, your belly has grown a lot!"
Father Jiang handed the spatula to Aunt Feng, "Xiao Feng, please take the food out of the pot."
He walked to the sofa and said to Jiang Xia, "Sit down first, the food will be ready soon."
My daughter's belly is growing so fast. It must be very hard for her, right?
When my wife was pregnant with two children, her belly was not as big as her daughter's! Zhou Chenglei supported Jiang Xia and walked to the sofa with her.
When Jiang Xia walked between the sofa and the coffee table, Jiang's father stretched out his hand to block it to prevent the corner of the coffee table from hitting his daughter's legs.
"Have you had the prenatal check-up? What did Doctor Gao say?" Father Jiang asked his daughter, who looked rosy-complexioned.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "We did it a while ago, and Dr. Gao said the baby is fine."
"Are you uncomfortable with such a big belly? Do you have cramps at night?"
My wife was pregnant with two children. In the later stages, she had cramps every night and could not sleep comfortably.
"As long as you don't eat too much, you won't feel uncomfortable. I just feel hungry all the time. Everything else is fine, just like usual. Don't worry, Dad. I really don't feel anything."
Of course, the truth is not as easy as Jiang Xia said, but there is no need to say too much and make them worry. It is not a big problem anyway.
Seeing his daughter's complexion, Jiang's father told himself that he didn't need to worry too much. It was best for the child if the mother was cheerful and relaxed. He must not pass on the nervousness to his daughter.
When my wife was pregnant with Xia Xia, she was very nervous. The environment at that time also made it impossible for her not to be nervous. Xia Xia's personality was not as cheerful as Jiang Dong's, but fortunately it is much better now.
Her relaxed state of mind is the best right now.
Zhou Chenglei took out the reports of the last two B-ultrasound scans and gave them to Jiang's father.
My father-in-law asked me to print out an extra copy of the ultrasound report for him so that he could keep a copy as well.
So the father-in-law and son-in-law sat together and began to study the two ultrasound pictures with great interest.
Jiang's mother also came over to take a look.
The two elders also looked at the two blurry pictures to identify the changes in their child and who he looked like.
Jiang's father said that a certain child's nose looked like his and was very straight, so he took it very seriously.
Jiang Xia was also impressed. She looked around but could not see anything, nothing at all, and yet Jiang's father still said that the nose was a nose and the eyes were eyes.
She stood up, went to the toilet and washed her hands.
She wants to eat the loquats on the table.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Father Jiang reached out and helped her up: "Where are you going?"
"Wash your hands. I want to eat loquats."
Zhou Chenglei also stood up and helped her to the toilet. Then he went to the kitchen to wash his hands, took a clean bowl, and came out to peel the loquat for her.
In addition to loquats, there are also bayberries, mulberries, March plums, and cherries on the table, which are the freshest fruits of this season.
Loquats and bayberries are a bit sour in March, but I feel satisfied eating them in Jiangxia. Mulberries and cherries are sweeter, so I don’t like them that much.
Father Jiang took a look and said, "It's time to eat. Don't eat too much. Didn't you say you can't eat too much? Take it home and eat it slowly on the way. I bought a lot. And pineapples, take them home and eat them slowly. I bought the sour ones."
Early this morning, Jiang's father rode his bicycle to all the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city and bought a bunch of fresh fruits.
He brought back the cherries from a business trip two days ago and put them in the refrigerator for his daughter to eat when she comes over.
Jiang Xia: "No need to bring any, there are plenty of fruits at home."
Zhou Chenglei and his mother never let their family lack fruit.
Even if Zhou Chenglei was not available, Zhou's mother would go to the town to buy it, or ask his great-grandfather to buy it for him.
Moreover, Jiang Yang or his wife would send some fruits every now and then. A while ago, it was New Year's oranges, and recently, March plums and Sanhua plums were the most commonly sent. Loquats were also sent, but loquats do not last long, so not many were sent.
So there is no shortage of fruit at home.
There were no cherries, as they were not sold in town. But now she didn’t like cherries very much. She preferred particularly sour fruits, and cherries were not sour enough.
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Xia went to Zhou Chenglei's grandmother's house and ate up all the sour bonsai oranges from someone else's house.
At this time, the aunt had prepared the food and called everyone to eat.
The family walked over to eat.
Jiang's father walked last. He put the ultrasound report away first to avoid it getting accidentally dirty.
Aunt Feng lives in the house next door. Her husband is Jiang's father's driver. After cooking, she goes back to her own home to eat, leaving the space for her family.
During the meal, Jiang Xia asked Jiang's mother, "Mom, how is Lei Yuzhen doing in the factory recently?"
Mother Jiang glanced at Father Jiang before saying, "It's no problem. I've asked the purchasing department to keep an eye on her. The purchasing department said she learns things very quickly. Don't worry."
Zhou Chenglei took in both people's reactions.
Father Jiang peeled a shrimp and put it in Jiang Xia's bowl: "We will be careful, don't worry. Dad's matter is almost certain, just take good care of your baby and don't worry about us."
He was just a little reluctant to be transferred because he was too far away from his daughter. It would be inconvenient for them to meet in the future and they would no longer be able to see each other once or twice a month like they do now, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Jiang Xia told her that she saw her and her boyfriend renting a house in a village near the dock. "I happened to see them, so I asked them."
After dinner, Jiang Xia talked with his father and mother for a while. Then his father asked Jiang Xia to go back to his room to take a nap, and he called Zhou Chenglei to the study to talk.
