Chapter 62 Zhou Chenglei's heart skipped a beat

After Jiang Xia coaxed Zhou Zhou, she asked her to take a bath while she continued to help salt the fish.

After autumn, you can lightly dry it in the sun, but in summer it is better to pickle it with salt before drying it.

Fortunately, the sun was strong and the wind was strong these two days. I hung it up at night and let it dry. Then I put it on the back of the tiles during the day. The back of the tiles was very hot, so it should be dried in a day or two. If not, I will dry it in the sun for another day and it will definitely be dry.

More than a dozen people were busy until nine o'clock in the evening and had not finished yet. Everyone was still busy hanging up the fish one by one.

Rows of bamboo poles are filled with fish, which is a spectacular sight.

Jiang Xia was spreading newspaper on the ground to catch the salty, bloody water dropped by the fish, and Zhou Chenglei hit it with a stone to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

He said to Jiang Xia, "I'm almost done. I'll do the rest. Go take a shower first. Don't you still need to wash your hair?"

Jiang Xia is very clean and washes his hair almost every day.

Zhou's mother also said, "Yes, you all should go take a shower quickly, we have to go out to sea tomorrow!"

Zhou Chenglei: "We won't go out to sea tomorrow. My brother and I will switch places. Jiang Xia and I will go to the city."

When Wen Wan heard this, she looked at Zhou Chenglei and asked, "They are going to the city?"

What are you doing in the city? Is your household registration transferred back? Wen Wan couldn't help guessing, and her eyes suddenly swept to a circled area on the newspaper.

She was stunned.

Mother Zhou: "Then take a shower quickly. You've been busy all day. Xiaoxia, take a shower quickly! Dry your hair before going to bed, otherwise you'll get a headache when you get old."

"Okay." Jiang Xia responded, and she and Zhou Chenglei paved the floor. Since they had hired someone and Zhou's mother was watching, they didn't care about the rest of the work. She went to wash her hair and take a shower.

Zhou Chenglei poured water for Jiang Xia: "I'll help you wash your hair."

This way she wouldn't be so tired lying down.

Jiang Xia glanced at the outsiders in the yard and refused directly: "No, go get the money to pay Mom for her work."

Zhou Chenglei had no choice but to go back to his room to get the money.

Wen Wan has been keeping an eye on Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia, and thinks that Zhou Chenglei is a really good husband and Zhou's mother is a really good mother-in-law, and they really should not be missed.

It's so hard to find such a good man in this day and age.

Jiang Xia washed his hair and took a shower and returned to his room. The yard was filled with a strong fishy smell.

She sat at the desk, fanning herself with a large palm fan while blowing her hair. She had to wait until her hair was dry before going back to bed.

But I was really tired today. I got up at four in the morning and was busy until nine in the evening. It was already ten o'clock when I washed my hair and took a shower. Jiang Xia couldn't help but lie on the table to rest while fanning herself. She wanted to wait until her hair was dry before going back to bed.

When Zhou Chenglei came back from his work and shower, he saw her lying on the table, asleep.

He touched her hair, which was already dry. He carefully took the sunflower fan from her hand, placed it on the table, then gently picked her up sideways.

Jiang Xia sleeps very soundly because she worked many jobs in her previous life and had very little sleep, so when she falls asleep, it is always a deep sleep. But when she was picked up in the air, she woke up. She just took a look and saw Zhou Chenglei, then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Zhou Chenglei walked to the bed, knelt on one knee, and carefully placed her on the inside of the bed, but a little distance from the edge of the mosquito net.

Zhou Chenglei was about to leave and get the sunflower fan when he noticed that her fair arms and ankles were covered with mosquito bites, and there was even a bite on her face. Her skin was fair, so the bites were particularly eye-catching.

She didn't wake up even after being bitten by mosquitoes like this, you can see how tired she was!

I couldn't describe the feeling in my heart for a moment.

He got out of bed, took a box of Tiger Balm from the drawer, and came back to apply it on her.

I also applied some balm on the wound on her knee. The scab was almost falling off, so there was no need to use white medicine anymore.

After Zhou Chenglei applied the ointment to her, he turned off the lights and lay back on the bed.

In the dim light, he leaned sideways to look at the person beside him, and as he looked at her, he couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss her forehead.

Jiang Xia scratched his forehead unconsciously, then turned over, put his hands and feet on Zhou Chenglei, and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Chenglei took her hand and couldn't help thinking: The countryside is not as good as the city, and the life of fishermen is very risky and hard.

But he couldn't bear to let her go.

He thought a lot that night and it took him a long time to fall asleep.

This is the second night in the past 29 years that I have thought so much, except for the time since I discovered I was deaf in my right ear.

The next day, Jiang Xia woke up before dawn. Zhou Chenglei was no longer in the room. As long as he didn't go out to sea, he would run.

When Jiang Xia walked out of the room, Zhou's mother had already cooked the porridge.

The breakfast that Zhou's mother made was always the same, which was sweet potato porridge, but today there were a few tender corns and two boiled eggs.

She said to Jiang Xia, "When you go to the city today, take these corns and two eggs with you to eat on the way. I have also filled two kettles with water. Is that enough?"

Jiang Xia smiled and replied, "Okay, that's enough."

Zhou's mother reminded him again: "Remember to hide the money well. There are many people on the bus, and we don't know if there are people with three hands."

"good."

Zhou's mother muttered: "Remember to pay close attention when you are on the bus. If there is a seat, sit down and don't give it up, otherwise it will be crowded and there will be no place to stand. Go brush your teeth, wash your face and have breakfast, and go out early after eating. Why hasn't Lei come back from running yet? Don't you know that you are going on a long journey today? You will miss the bus if you are late."

As soon as Zhou's mother finished speaking, Zhou Chenglei ran into the house, sweating profusely.

Mother Zhou glanced at him and said unhappily, "Hurry up and take a shower and have breakfast. You're running longer and longer now. You've been getting up an hour earlier than usual to run these past two days, right? Do you have too much energy to spend?"

Zhou Chenglei ignored his mother's nagging, brushed his teeth first, took a break, then fetched two buckets of water to take a bath.

After breakfast, Zhou Chenglei took out a 28-inch bicycle from the utility room.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Jiang Xia took a basket with him to pack things.

When she saw Zhou Chenglei carrying out a bicycle, she asked in surprise, "Going on a bicycle?"

She wanted to ask if it was close to the city by land, but the original owner had been there before, so she didn't ask.

"Yeah. The production team's tractor is not available today." Zhou Chenglei responded.

As for taking the car, the last time I took her to the city, it was summer, there were too many people in the car and the smell was strong, she couldn't stand it and vomited.

He also had a little idea: if they went there by bicycle, it would be just the two of them and no one would disturb them.

"Then I'll push out the other bicycle as well." Jiang Xia's dowry included two bicycles.

Of course, one of them was bought by Zhou Chenglei as a dowry, but Jiang's father and mother did not keep any of it. Instead, they bought another one for women and gave it all to the couple.

"No, just sit at the back of my car."

Zhou Chenglei pushed the bicycle out of the yard, got on it, put one foot on the pedal and the other foot on the ground.

With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, he can easily control this bicycle which is difficult for most people to control.

It’s far from the city. It’s more than 80 kilometers to the suburbs, and there are still a few kilometers to the city center.

She definitely couldn't ride more than a hundred kilometers back and forth.

Zhou's mother also thinks that riding in a car is unsafe and prone to theft: "It's better to ride a bicycle. You don't have to squeeze into a car, and it's more convenient."

There is no bus from the village to the city. You have to walk to the town to take a bus. There are only two buses in total, one in the morning and one at noon.

There is no such thing as overloading at this time. Every bus is packed with people, and people have to squeeze in even if they can't fit in.

This gave the person with three hands an opportunity. Zhou's mother tried it and took a bus, but all the money in her pocket was gone!

She was so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.

From then on, she had a traumatic experience with riding in a car, and she would never take the car to go to the city whether she had something to do or not.

Zhou Chenglei said to Jiang Xia: "Come up!"

Fortunately, she was not wearing a skirt today, so Jiang Xia jumped on it directly.

Zhou's mother warned: "Be careful on the road and go home early."

Zhou Chenglei waited for Jiang Xia to sit down, then he stepped hard on the pedals and the bicycle started moving.

Zhou Chenglei is an excellent driver, and even though the roads in the village are bumpy, his car remains relatively stable.

Moreover, Zhou Chenglei found a piece of wood to tie up the rear rack of the bicycle last night so that Jiang Xia's butt would not be hurt when sitting on it.

But the road conditions are really bad, especially after a heavy rain, the whole road is bumpy and no matter how good your driving skills are, the road will still be bumpy.

If you fall, getting hurt is secondary. Your clothes and shoes will definitely get dirty.

Jiang Xia put his hands around someone's waist.

Zhou Chenglei's heart skipped a beat.
