Chapter 728 The mud is flying!
When Jiang Xia returned home, Zhou's mother was sweeping the alley.
In the yard, several people who were honored by the family took fried rice cakes and fed the triplets, coaxing them to call them "brother", "sister", "grandpa" and "grandma".
Jiang Xia skillfully backed the car into the garage, got out and walked over to ask with a smile: "Can you shout?"
Several brothers and sisters said excitedly: "Yes! The younger sister can call me sister, the second baby can call me brother, but the eldest baby doesn't speak."
So they demonstrated to Jiang Xia, took away the fried rice cakes, and coaxed their sister and brother to call for help.
The younger sister looked at the fried rice cakes and moved her hands and feet anxiously, "Sister."
Zhou Wenguang: "Will you scream?"
Jiang Xia smiled and nodded. Although the pronunciation was not very accurate, it was indeed somewhat similar: "It seems so."
"It's not like I can shout, I can shout for sure!! I can shout for both brother and sister!"
Zhou's mother came in and said to Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, the village chief said that a big boss from Hong Kong Island came to our village to donate to build a school and a road. Everyone in the village went to sweep the floor. I'll go to the dock to help."
Jiang Xia hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go clean up, you stay at home and look after the kids!"
It's almost bedtime for the child, so there's no need to watch it.
The three of them have been well-trained in their daily routines since childhood, and now they can fall asleep on their own. After feeding them and putting them back in the crib, they can fall asleep while playing on their own.
This is probably the advantage of having triplets. The children have company and are easy to take care of.
"No, I'll go. You're just a bunch of old guys. You'll suffer if you go." Jiang Xia had never gotten along with the women in the village. He didn't know that some people were good at cheating! Besides, the women in the village were all aunts or grandmothers. They were all older than them. If they asked Jiang Xia to do the dirty and tiring work, wouldn't he suffer from his generational disadvantage?
Which young woman didn't go to work in the factory in Jiangxia at this time? Zhou's mother took the big broom she usually used to sweep the path outside the door and went out.
When Zhou's mother arrived at the dock, she saw her great-grandmother and a few aunts with whom she got along well, and walked over there.
They were drawing water from the sea to clean the fish scales and blood stains on the ground at the purchasing place.
Zhou's mother joined the cleansing.
The village is very big, and the children in the village just throw the snack packaging bags on the ground after eating.
Therefore, except for the front door of my house which is clean, there are still a lot of fallen leaves and garbage on both sides of the paths in the village.
Even though every household sent one or two people to help with cleaning, it took more than two hours, until after twelve o'clock, to clean the entire village.
Smoke was already rising from every household.
Everyone prepared to go home for dinner.
Nowadays, children aged seven or eight in rural areas can wash clothes and cook. Now that the children are on vacation, many of them have meals to eat when they return home.
Zhou Bingqiang's wife walked around the village to check, then went home to change into new clothes before walking to the dock. She said to those who were planning to go home for dinner, "Don't go back yet. Go and weed the grass on the road leading into the village!"
Zhou's mother: "Why do we have to remove the grass on the roadside? If we remove it, when it rains, there will be no place to stand!"
Grandma also agreed, "Yes, it rains the most during the Chinese New Year. If you leave some grass on both sides of the road, you can walk on it when it rains. If you remove the grass, the whole road will be unwalkable! When the time comes, every family will go to visit relatives. How can they walk?"
Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "The big boss has come to repair the road, are you still worried that there is no way to go? If we remove all the grass, won't it be more convenient to repair the road? When the big boss from Hong Kong Island comes and sees us, won't he think that our villagers are very welcoming? And now that the road is cleared, won't he feel embarrassed not to repair it?!"
Some villagers thought it made sense: "Then go clean it up!"
Zhou's mother: "Let's clean up after dinner! It's already half past twelve!"
Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "You only care about eating. Is eating more important or building roads? Will you starve to death if you eat later? My old man had a hard time inviting this big boss from Hong Kong to visit our village! There are still many villages waiting for him to see! What if he goes to other villages and sees that they are better prepared than ours, and doesn't come to our village to build roads? Can you afford it?"
Zhou's mother: "Since the big boss came to see us, it proves that he is willing to build roads and schools. Our village has a dock, and he wants to expand the dock, right? He will definitely build roads in our village."
"That's not necessarily true. They have money, so why not build the wharf somewhere else? But don't your family know a lot of big bosses in Hong Kong? If this one leaves, can you invite one back to build roads, wharves, and schools for our village?"
Mother Zhou: “…”
When the villagers heard this, they said, "Go and clean it up! We can do it quickly with so many of us!"
"Yes, there are so many people, it will probably be done in half an hour! It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."
"Let's go! Let's go! Hurry up!"
…
So a group of people went to the roadside to weed.
Zhou's mother had no choice but to go to the purchasing office and call to ask Jiang Xia and the children to eat first, and she would go back to eat later.
Jiang Xia prepared the meal at 12:30. After waiting for a while, he saw that Jiang's mother had not returned home yet. Just as he was about to go look for her, he received a call.
She left some food for Jiang's mother and then took the children to eat first.
Jiang Xia hurriedly ate a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup, then rode her bicycle out to take over from Zhou's mother while the triplets were still asleep.
When they reached the main road leading out of the village, Jiang Xia found Zhou's mother and said to her, "Mom, go back and have dinner! I can take care of it here."
Mother Zhou was happy to see Jiang Xia coming, but she didn't need her to do anything. She smiled and said, "No, it's almost done. You can go home and look after the kids! I'll be back when I'm done."
Zhou's mother was happy that Jiang Xia had this in mind. Weeding was hard work and Jiang Xia was not used to holding a hoe, so he would get blisters easily.
Jiang Xia had already put on gloves. She took the hoe and said, "It's okay. I'll do it. Go back and eat quickly. The children haven't woken up yet. I'm afraid they will wake up."
Jiang Xia's appearance made the other women envious, and they all praised: "The most filial daughter-in-law in the village has to be Xiao Xia!"
"Alei is still good at finding a wife! Sister Yongfu, you will be happy!"
…
Facing everyone's praise, Zhou's mother felt as if she was filled with honey. She smiled and said, "Xiao Xia has always been filial and sensible. A good daughter-in-law is much more considerate than a son! I won't say more. I'm going home to eat first and will come over later."
Zhou's mother was also afraid that the child would wake up, so even though her grandchildren were at home, she rode her bicycle hurriedly home.
Zhou Bingqiang's wife pursed her lips and subconsciously glanced in the direction Zhou's mother went back. Thinking of Wen Wan, that lazy bug who didn't even cook a meal! Zhou Bingqiang's wife felt uncomfortable. She didn't like Jiang Xia, who loved to show off and pretend to be virtuous.
No daughter-in-law in any family came out, but she was the best at pretending! Didn't she usually sleep until noon at home? "Xiao Xia, use more force! Look at you, you haven't even weeded out the grass roots! Such grass will grow out in two days! Use more force! Have you not eaten? You have been married for so long, and you don't even know how to weed? Don't you usually work at home?"
Jiang Xia used force to dig a hoe, and a pile of mud flew away!
