Li Xiuxian never thought that Zhou Chengsen could be so cold-blooded that he didn't even look at her, let alone respond.
She watched him carry the bucket in one hand and the net bag in the other, and continue walking forward as if nothing had happened.
Li Xiuxian couldn't help but chase him and stopped him, saying anxiously: "I have something to tell you. Believe it or not, the first time I was with Liao Ruixiang, I was really drunk. It was not my own initiative, and I didn't do it on purpose. I'm sorry!"
Zhou Chengsen's way was blocked. He looked at her, said nothing, then stepped aside and continued walking forward.
Li Xiuxian stood there in a daze.
The look in his eyes just now was dull and strange, just as dull, casual and strange as the way he looked at a stranger.
Just like when he was walking on the road, he suddenly met a stranger who blocked his way and said something to him that had nothing to do with him. He would just glance at him casually, thinking that the other person was incomprehensible, and even did not need to see the other person's face clearly, and just walked around him.
Li Xiuxian looked at Zhou Chengsen's back as he left, even her hair showed indifference, as if she didn't care at all.
Li Xiuxian suddenly understood!
To Zhou Chengsen, she was just a stranger.
Zhou Chengsen was not the kind of person who would bring up old grudges. She had quarreled with him countless times, but every time he would only talk about what happened at the time and never bring up old grudges with her. For him, the past was over, and she was the only one who would bring up old grudges with him.
So now, everything between him and her is over for him.
No hatred, no resentment, no regrets, no emotion, no love.
She was a stranger to him now.
What feelings can you have for a stranger?
No!
Would you listen to a stranger?
Won't!
A stranger is someone you don't pay any attention to at the moment you pass by.
Li Xiuxian guessed right this time.
The past is indeed over for Zhou Chengsen. Before he was with Ruan Tang, everything was over for him.
If he still had any feelings for Li Xiuxian, he would not be with Ruan Tang. That would be disrespectful and unfair to Ruan Tang.
Now I will ignore her even more.
How could he bear to give a girl who ignored rumors, didn't mind his second marriage and had a child, and loved him wholeheartedly a chance to feel uncomfortable?
So Zhou Chengsen didn't have any thoughts after hearing what Li Xiuxian said. He was thinking about asking Zhou Chenglei to pry the oysters open when he got home, and he would peel the shrimps and use only the shrimp meat for hot pot, so that Ruan Tang could just pick them up and eat them.
The crabs we caught today were also very fat, so we steamed them directly when we got home. After cooking them in a hot pot, they were not as sweet anymore.
Ruan Tang and Jiang Xia both love eating crabs, and they are the only two people in the family who like to eat them.
But eating too much crab will cause coldness and is not good for women.
As Zhou Chengsen walked, he saw a lot of new perilla growing on the roadside.
He put down the bucket and net bag again, walked down, bent down and started picking.
Perilla warms the middle and dispels cold, which can alleviate the coldness of crabs.
It can be made into basil sauce and used to mix with rice.
There were also some newly grown mugwort, which he picked as well.
Mugwort is also good for women.
He had seen Ruan Tang use moxa for hot compress during her menstrual period, and she said it could relieve abdominal discomfort.
She said she had no period pain, but felt a little uncomfortable occasionally.
Of course Zhou Chengsen doesn’t know how to make moxa, but he can make moxa glutinous rice cakes (qingtuan). These are newly grown moxas and are very tender. They are best used to make moxa glutinous rice cakes.
Make some tonight and bring it back to the city for breakfast tomorrow.
Zhou Chengsen thought: Instead of applying hot compress, wouldn’t it be more direct to eat it?
It saves trouble!
When they got home, Zhou Chengsen handed a large net bag of oysters to Zhou Chenglei: "Pry them open and wash them clean."
Zhou Chenglei took it and said, "I see. You bought so many? I will definitely pry them out properly. I won't fight with you tonight."
“…”
Zhou Chengsen couldn't help but raised his foot to kick him, but Zhou Chenglei dodged it swiftly!
Seeing that he had picked so many basil and mugwort, Ruan Tang took them and said with a smile, "No wonder it took so long. We all thought you were out fishing on your own in your boat."
Zhou Chengsen: "It's too late to pick some mugwort and basil. I'll make some mugwort cakes for you to eat in the city tomorrow."
The weather is cold now, so we can put it down.
Ruan Tang glanced at the green mugwort and said, "But I don't like the smell of mugwort."
Zhou Chengsen: "Maybe you like what I do."
Ruan Tang was looking forward to it: "You made it delicious?"
Zhou Chengsen: "I think I'm pretty good."
…
Mr. Zhou had nothing to do, so he took the camera and took pictures with a smile!
Take a photo of the eldest grandson and granddaughter teaching the triplets to crawl in the living room.
Take pictures of the busy couple in the kitchen and patio.
Take photos of each ingredient you prepare.
I took a picture of the family gathered around the boiling hot pot.
Take a picture of the little granddaughter pointing at the hot pot and asking for food.
…
This morning he also took photos of several brothers and daughters-in-law working together in the fields.
This is a wonderful day of unity, hard work, prosperity and harmony!
Must be recorded well!
Work hard!
Work hard!
up!
up!
rush!
rush!
rush
…
Go further and further on the road to wealth through hard work!
After taking the photos, Zhou's father sat down and gnawed on the chicken leg happily. He looked at the triplets who were gnawing on the chicken feet with gusto and was in a good mood.
Now when it’s time to eat, the triplets no longer sleep around, they want to eat too, and they always point at the food on the plates and ask for it.
Especially my younger sister, she opened her mouth wide, pointed at the food and kept shouting “Ahhh” and “meme”.
Tonight was the same. Jiang Xia gave each of them a chicken foot and let them chew it slowly.
The whole world is quiet!
The three kids sat on the dining chairs specially made by their father, competing with the chicken feet in a battle of wits and courage.
This kind of native chicken has been raised in the field for more than a year. The chicken feet are very hard. They are just cooked but not cooked through. They can't bite them, so they just nibble on them for the taste.
When the younger sister saw Grandpa looking at her, she grinned at Zhou's father and handed him the chicken feet that she had been chewing for a long time without losing the skin, "Grandpa, mua~"
"Xiaobao, do you want to give it to grandpa?"
My sister nodded: "mua~"
Father Zhou was satisfied and said with a smile: "Xiaobao, eat it yourself. Grandpa won't eat it."
My sister continued to use her four little teeth to fight with the chicken claws.

The next morning, the ten cages ordered by Zhou Chenglei were delivered.
On the beach, workers are installing cages.
There is not enough space on the beach on Abalone Island to fit only one cage at a time. Ten cages can only be installed on the beach in the village and then pulled over by boat.
All the villagers who had not gone out to sea came out to watch the fun.
Zhou Chenglei's entire family came out, except Zhou Chengsen who went to work and the children who went to school.
The weather was good, so Jiang Xia also brought the triplets out. He found a corner, spread out a cloth and a mat, and sat on the mat with Ruan Tang, leaving them to play with sand on the beach.
This beach is the one right in front of my home, not the beach where people go to catch seafood. The sand here is finer and cleaner.
It is a paradise for children in the village.
Mr. Mai and Mr. Xu took a liking to it the last time they came. I guess they will come to discuss the collection this year.
It is not known when the land will be developed after expropriation, but the sooner the land is acquired, the better. They have been in the business world for many years and must be aware of this.
Jiang Xia and Ruan Tang sat on the beach and played with the sand with their children.
The triplets had a lot of fun playing in the sand for the first time.
Everybody went to see the cages.
Tian Caihua looked at these large net boxes as if they were gold. (End of this chapter)
