Chapter 528 Joke
Not only Zhou Chenglei did this, Jiang Xia saw other people doing the same.
Tian Caihua couldn't wait to explain: "If the snail holes are not filled, water will enter through the holes when the hoe is used, and the sand will collapse easily, making it difficult to find. So before digging, we always hoe a shovel of sand to fill the snail holes.
Jiang Xia still didn't quite understand and still felt that it was a bit unnecessary, but there must be a reason why everyone did this.
The Xishi tongue was hidden very deeply, so Zhou Chenglei and Tian Caihua had to dig three or four times to make a hole about half an arm deep and then reach in to dig the thing out.
And it sucked very tightly. Jiang Xia saw that he and Tian Caihua had to put some effort into digging it out.
Zhou Chenglei handed the dug-out Xishi tongue to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia took it and looked at it, then said with a smile, "I finally understand why it is called Xishi Tongue."
This little thing looks like a clam, but the color of its shell is redder, and the translucent meat that is spit out looks like a human sticking out his tongue.
Clams can also "stick out their tongues", but theirs is not as big as this one.
Moreover, the "tongue" of the shih tzu is translucent, which looks very beautiful.
Perhaps that’s why some people call it Xishi Tongue.
Xi Shi is a beauty, and of course her tongue is beautiful too.
A child held a shih tzu tongue, imitated it by sticking out his tongue, and asked his parents if it looked like it.
"Does it look like it?" Jiang Xia also held up the little thing, stuck out his tongue like it, and asked Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chenglei glanced at the tip of her pink tongue, lowered his head and swung the hoe vigorously to consume the extra energy in his body: "No, your tongue is sharper."
"Then spit it out and show me if it looks like it?"
Zhou Chenglei glanced at her and said, "I'll show it to you when I get home."
Jiang Xia: "Why would you go home just because you stick out your tongue?"
Zhou Chenglei didn't respond to her. He lowered his head and tried his best to dig out the Xishi's tongue.
Jiang Xia suddenly understood, "..."
It turns out that an old man who has been holding back for too long cannot be teased.
Zhou Chenglei worked hard to dig Xishi tongue and successfully came from behind. When he returned, he had dug much more than those who arrived earlier.
It's very hard to dig this stuff. You have to use a hoe and bend down to dig with your hands. Usually, everyone gets tired after digging a pound or two.
Zhou Chenglei dug out half a bucket, about five or six pounds.
Zhou's father arrived earlier than Zhou Chenglei, but he only dug a little over two kilograms.
Not to mention Tian Caihua, which weighs only about one kilogram.
When the villagers saw Zhou Chenglei carrying a bucket of shishi tongue, they couldn't help but say, "Alei is really strong. He has dug so much in just a short time. We have been here for so long and have only dug one or two kilograms!"
"Young man, you have a strong back! I dug a pound and my back couldn't even stand up straight!"
Some women like to say dirty words. Seeing Zhou Chenglei easily carrying a hoe and a bucket in one hand and holding the fat-bellied Jiang Xia in the other, they started to joke: "You can tell whether A'lei's waist is good or not by looking at how big Xiaoxia's belly is. Our village hasn't had triplets in many years, right?"
Jiang Xia’s belly was too big, much bigger than that of most pregnant women. Many people knew that she was pregnant with triplets.
Someone joked with Jiang Xia directly: "Xiao Xia, is A Lei's waist okay?"
Someone chimed in: "Not good, can Xiao Xia be pregnant with triplets?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Xia has been around the village a lot and has heard a lot of things so he knows how people respond to this kind of thing. He just smiles back.
She smiled generously and said, "How can you be as amazing as the aunties, who gave birth to a football team! The other day I saw Uncle Yonghe and Uncle Cai carrying a big pig weighing nearly 300 kilograms, and they were walking with great vigor! You can tell at a glance that they are still as strong as ever! Their waist strength is amazing!"
They all thought Jiang Xia was thin-skinned, but they didn't expect Jiang Xia to be so thick-skinned and would say it back.
Everyone laughed again!
Then he went to make fun of the couple who had just spoken.
This kind of topic is for those who are thin-skinned. Those who are thick-skinned will not feel embarrassed.
Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia squeezed Zhou Chenglei's hand and glared at him.
It's all his fault for swinging the hoe so hard, as if he had endless energy.
Zhou Chenglei raised the corner of his mouth slightly and held her hand tightly.
Tonight's supper in Jiangxia is porridge made with Xishi tongue and steamed vermicelli.
It’s especially fresh and sweet. If Jiang Xia wasn’t afraid of eating too much, he would have wanted to eat two bowls.
In the evening, Zhou Chenglei fulfilled his promise in the afternoon and responded to her, chasing her little tongue for a long time.
The fact is that Zhou Chenglei not only has a good waist, but also has an exceptionally large lung capacity.
Of course, that was only what Jiang Xia felt was long, not Zhou Chenglei. If Jiang Xia wasn't inconvenienced and sometimes had difficulty breathing, and he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, he would have lasted longer instead of just briefly.

*The next morning Zhou Chengsen asked his mother to help him find a day to build the house.
Zhou Ying transferred back to the village to go to school. She couldn't always live in her fourth brother's house, so building a house in the village had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Zhou's mother said, "It was a good day when Xiaoxia built the factory. Great grandmother's house was also built on that day. I'll go ask for you."
"Okay, pick a day that's close to home. The sooner the better."
"Know."
As a result, Zhou's mother went to ask and found out that it was also the day when the factory was built in Jiangxia.
Father Zhou was thinking about buying sand, rough boards, steel bars, cement and other things for Zhou Chengsen, so he decided to wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival before going out to sea.
Zhou Yongguo led Jiang Yang and others to go out to sea on the big ship, and Zhou Chenglei recruited six more retired comrades to go out to sea with them.
Strictly speaking, they are not Zhou Chenglei's comrades-in-arms. They were recommended by Zhang Rui. Some of them have recently retired, and some have been retired for two or three years.
Another larger fishing vessel will be delivered soon, but the container ship will be delivered two months later.
Zhou Chenglei needed to hire more people in advance because the ship would need at least a dozen or twenty people.
We are now arranging six people to go out to sea with the ship to get familiar with the situation. Then half of them can be assigned to the new ship to guide the unfamiliar newcomers.
So Zhou Chenglei is recruiting people now.
Give priority to comrades who have retired, and if not enough, look for others in the village.
In fish cage farming, the fishing nets must be cleaned and replaced regularly, and this requires hiring people to do it.
However, you can ask Boss Yu to arrange for someone to come over, but the salary will be higher, and food and accommodation will be provided.
Zhou Chenglei planned to ask Boss Yu to send people over a few times, and then hire some more people to learn from the people sent by Boss Yu.
Once you learn it, you won’t have to bother Boss Yu anymore.
Boss Yu also suggested this.
It was Zhou Chenglei’s first time raising fish, and no one around him knew how to do it. Boss Yu was a nice guy, and he would always arrange for someone to teach Zhou Chenglei anything he didn’t understand.
You can even ask Zhou Chenglei to send some people over to learn from him.
While Zhou Chenglei was resting at home taking care of her pregnancy in Jiangxia, she was busy hiring people, raising fish, and going out to sea with his father every now and then. Soon it was mid-May.
The Guangzhou Trade Fair ended in mid-May. Before Jiang Dong returned to Beijing, he went home to spend a night with his parents. The next morning, he and Zhang Fuyan went to the fishing village to see Jiangxia.
Jiang Dong didn't see Zhou Chenglei, so he asked, "Brother-in-law went out to sea?"
