Chapter 88 She Just Wants to See If He Can Keep Her for a Lifetime

Jiang Xia glanced at Zhou Zhou and patted her head: "Zhou Zhou, tell me, where did you get this toy plane?"

Tian Caihua came here just because she heard that a car had come to the old house, and it seemed that it was a relative or friend of Jiang Xia.

Zhou Zhou glanced at Tian Caihua and whispered, "Sister Yan gave it to me."

Jiang Xia then extended his hand to Tian Caihua, his tone calm but unyielding: "Sister-in-law, did you hear that? This is a meeting gift from my friend to Zhou Zhou."

Tian Caihua's face darkened, she was unhappy, she felt that Jiang Xia favored Zhou Zhou, felt that Jiang Xia didn't respect her, couldn't her son get a share of the gifts from her friends? She couldn't help but say, "This plane is obviously a toy for boys, how can Zhou Zhou, a girl, play with it? Besides, Zhou Zhou, don't you have dolls to play with? Zhou Zhou, can you give the toy plane to your brother?"

Zhou Zhou felt a little helpless holding the toy plane. She liked it very much too and didn't want to give it to her, but she wouldn't refuse and was about to agree.

Jiang Xia saw that she would not and did not dare to refuse, so she said, "Zhou Zhou, do you like this toy plane? Do you want to give it to me? If you like it but don't want to give it to me, you don't have to give it to me. Auntie won't blame you because it's your thing and the decision is up to you. Just like when you like your brother's thing and ask him for it, but your brother doesn't want to give it to you, you don't have to give it to him because it's his thing. Sister-in-law, am I right?"

Tian Caihua was almost mad. Jiang Xia was clearly telling Zhou Zhou not to send it, but she couldn't deny her words. Otherwise, what would she do if she told Zhou Zhou to ask her son for things every day? Tian Caihua was so angry that she said, "Yes, Zhou Zhou can send it if he wants to, and he can't if he doesn't want to. It's yours."

Zhou Zhou struggled for a moment and said, "Aunt, I have never played with a toy airplane. I won't give it to you."

"Okay, if you like it! Zhou Zhou has grown up and is becoming more and more capable. It's different now that you have a little aunt. Your eldest aunt has raised you for several years, but it's not as good as your little aunt raising you for a few days!"

Tian Caihua said this sarcastically and left.

He walked out of the yard angrily towards the dock.

I am so angry! What an ungrateful little bastard. Has she forgotten who raised her? She used to eat her food, use her things, wear her sons’ clothes, and carry her sons’ schoolbags. She has forgotten everything!

Jiang Xia is the same. How can she be a young aunt? She is so partial!

In the past, whenever her brother-in-law came home from shopping, it was always her sons who had chosen before it was Zhou Zhou’s turn.

Now there is only one copy for Zhou Zhou!

This morning she came over and saw Zhou Zhou drinking milk. Last time, her son said Zhou Zhou was eating popsicles, and he gave one to his great-grandmother's grandson, which was bought by his uncle.

The couple also bought Zhou Zhou a new desk, school bag, and clothes, but her son didn't have any of them.

After marrying Jiang Xia, my brother-in-law has become partial to her! By the way, Zhou Zhou was just eating candy, it was White Rabbit candy, it was very expensive, she couldn't bear to buy it last time her son wanted to eat it.

Tian Caihua paused: Just now, there were many White Rabbit candies, biscuits, milk powder, malted milk, canned food on the table...

Ah! Why did she leave in such a rage? There was no share of the toy airplane, could Jiang Xia not even give her son some candy and milk powder? What a loss! After the separation, her son had nothing. The money they earned from going to sea was not as much as Zhou Chenglei earned from going to sea in one time.

Tian Caihua increasingly felt that she had suffered a loss from the division of the family property!

Zhou Zhou said timidly: "My aunt seems unhappy."

Jiang Xia said softly, "As long as you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about whether others are happy or not. If she's unhappy, it's her fault, not yours. Just let her be."

Zhou Zhou seemed to understand but not quite.

Jiang Xia didn't say much. She didn't know how to teach children. She only knew that girls should learn to say no.

Jiang Xia continued to open the three big bags given by Jiang's mother. One of the big bags was full of new clothes. Jiang Xia took out most of them. She also prepared a set for Zhou's father and mother. Zhou Chenglei also had two sets. She took out the ones for Zhou's father and mother.

The other bag contained food such as milk powder, biscuits, candies, and children's toys, including two teddy bear dolls and four toy cars. It was obvious that one bag was prepared for each of the six children in the Zhou family.

Jiang Xia gave one of the teddy bear dolls to Zhou Zhou, and kept the other one for the daughter of Zhou Chenglei's second brother.

Jiang's mother is a considerate person and she prepared things for everyone in the family.

Jiang Xia would not withhold several cars from her son just because he didn't like Tian Caihua. Zhou Chengxin was a good person. When the brothers saw her, they still affectionately called her "little aunt".

She put a few toy cars aside and gave them to the brothers when they came over to play.

The remaining large bag contained sanitary napkins, towels, shampoo, skin care products, cosmetics and the like. This was enough for Jiang's mother to prepare for her for a year!

Then she took out a thick file bag and opened it to reveal three new stacks of big unity wrapped in red paper, one for 1,000 yuan and one for 3,000 yuan. Could it be the betrothal gift Zhou Chenglei gave me? I'll ask him when he comes back.

She put everything in place, told Zhou Zhou to get whatever he wanted to eat, and then went to cook.

*After dinner in the evening, Jiang Xia came out of the shower and saw Zhou Chenglei wiping the bicycle. The bicycle, which was originally covered with mud, was wiped clean by him.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but ask, "Why do you always clean your bike after using it?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Forget it today, it's too dirty! But last time it wasn't covered in mud, and he wiped it clean.

Zhou Chenglei pushed the cart back to the utility room and glanced at her: "This is your dowry. If you don't take good care of it, can it last a lifetime?"

Jiang Xia: “…”

Well! He tempted her again! She wanted to see if he could clean the bicycle every time and keep it for a lifetime.

Jiang Xia didn't believe it at this moment.

She could never have imagined that decades later, when she was sixty and he was almost seventy, the small fishing village would have become a famous tourist attraction, and she would still be sitting on the back of the bicycle that he had well preserved, and he would be riding her along the coastal road to reminisce about the present.

Jiang Xia ignored him and went back to his room to translate.

After Zhou Chenglei put away his bicycle, he took his clothes and went to take a shower. When he came back with a bowl of milk, he saw Jiang Xia writing furiously at the desk.

Under the dim light, her serious back is beautiful.

He walked lightly to her side, put down the bowl of milk, and then picked up a book he brought back from the Jiang family to read.

Jiang Xia must have read this book very carefully, as her notes and thoughts are written on every page.

One of them was writing on the paper, while the other was flipping through the pages. It was peaceful and beautiful.

Zhou Chenglei read very quickly. He could read ten lines at a glance and had a photographic memory. Besides, this was just a love novel and did not require much brainpower, so he read even faster. The only thing that kept his eyes on the book for an extra second was the thoughts that Jiang Xia had left in the book. Until he turned to the last page, he saw a line of powerful handwriting and the signature on it, and his body froze.
