Chapter 13 Alei, you have married a treasure
Seeing that Jiang Xia was very scared, Zhou Chenglei said, "Grandma, you are joking. Snakes only exist in the mountains and grasslands. They are not everywhere."
Grandma: "Alei, don't lie! I'm not wrong, this snake is very common, it can be found everywhere in vegetable gardens and fields. It can even crawl into the house at night. I've even caught one in my bed."
Get into bed? Jiang Xia's face turned pale when he thought of the news he had read before.
Zhou Chenglei saw Jiang Xiasheng's face full of despair and felt that he couldn't let the grandmother say another word. He said, "Grandma lied to you and tried to scare you. Grandma, can you help me get rid of the two snakes?"
If her grandmother scares her again, she probably won’t dare to sleep tonight.
He picked up a snakeskin bag that he had just brought to hold the garbage and threw the snake into it.
The old people in the village said that the snake that entered the house could not be killed, but could only be thrown away.
"I'm not lying, it's real." However, the reason there was a snake in the quilt was that the great-grandmother caught two snakes and brought them back for her grandson to play with. The lid of the bamboo basket was not tied properly at night, and the snakes crawled out.
When she saw Jiang Xia’s face turned very pale, she felt that she was almost scared and probably wouldn’t dare to sleep alone at night.
She also threw the snake into the snakeskin bag, then held the snakeskin bag and called to the people next door: "Let's go! It's okay, go back to your own business! If you have nothing to do at home, you can stay and help my little stone clean up the yard."
When Pan Daidi's family next door heard this, they all left.
There is a pile of work waiting to be done at home early in the morning, so how can I have the time to help others clean the yard?
Zhou Junjie glanced at Jiang Xia. He wanted to stay, but was pulled away by his wife.
After everyone left, the grandmother wanted to train Jiang Xia's courage. How could she be afraid of snakes in the countryside? In the hot summer, snakes could jump out at any time when she walked on the road.
Grandma grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and walked out: "Come on, Grandma will take you to get rid of the snake."
Jiang Xia was pulled away by his great-grandmother, his whole body stiff: Great-grandmother, did you just catch a snake with this hand?
The two walked towards the field.
Not far ahead, Pan Daidi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Let's go weed the peanut field today."
Zhou Junjie is Pan Daidi's youngest son. When he heard him, he immediately said, "Mom, I'll go to the dock to see if there is any work."
Then he ran away! Pan Daidi's eldest daughter-in-law pursed her lips. At this time, all the ships have gone out to sea. What kind of work can be done at the dock?
The second son is lazy, greedy, lustful and fond of gambling. He is probably gambling there. She wants to split the family property.
Pan Daidi ignored him and walked towards the peanut field with her two daughters-in-law.
Pan Daidi's daughter-in-law said, "Two grass snakes are so frightened. I thought something had happened!"
The eldest daughter-in-law said with envy: "They live in the city, how can they see snakes on a daily basis? They see a lot of snakes in their cars."
Thinking that Jiang Xia ignored her, Pan Daidi said sarcastically, "I've seen many people who are afraid of snakes, but this is the first time I've seen someone as afraid as her! If you're so squeamish, you shouldn't have married into our village! Didn't you see how she looked just now? She ignored everyone you talked to, and her eyes looked like they were on the top of a skull. What's so great about seeing a lot of cars? It's not like her family has any cars!"
The daughter-in-law thought of the way her husband looked at her and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Being a city girl is so great? She is a city girl, but she still married a fisherman. And they say she is educated, but educated people are so indecent? Riding on a man in broad daylight is so shameless. Even the prostitutes in District 3 can't ride as well as she does."
These words made Jiang Xia and Grandma angry!
Jiang Xia wanted to throw the snake in the snakeskin bag at her.
The grandmother seemed to see through her thoughts and handed over the snakeskin bag.
Jiang Xia didn't know where he got the courage from, but he immediately took it and swung the snakeskin bag. The two snakes flew out and landed right behind the three people's feet.
The three heard the noise and looked down.
"ah!"
Two snakes were scurrying around at their feet, and the three of them were so frightened that they screamed and jumped around.
Just then, an old man came up from the path in the field, and the daughter-in-law jumped onto his back! After Jiang Xia threw the snake away, he dragged his grandmother and ran away! The two ran all the way back to Zhou's old house, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Chenglei was cleaning the house. Hearing the noise, he came out and looked at them in confusion.
Grandma smiled and said, "Alei, you have a good daughter-in-law, you must cherish her."
Jiang Xia was embarrassed. How did the grandmother know that she was good? Is throwing snakes at people good?
Or just throw it away and run, hit-and-run is good?
Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia, not understanding what was going on. He just nodded politely as a response to his grandmother's words.
Jiang Xia felt a little embarrassed and said quickly, "I'll go clean the house."
Jiang Xia walked into the house and looked around. She felt that there might be a snake hiding in some corner waiting for her at any time.
Zhou Chenglei felt that she was still afraid: "I'll clean the house, you go home and pack your things!"
Jiang Xia shook his head when he heard this: "No, let's clean it together. I want to check it carefully."
Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything else, knowing that she probably wouldn't dare to move in unless she looked carefully.
He suddenly understood why she made a fuss every other day. She was probably really not used to the countryside.
Zhou Chenglei looked at the leaky house that smelled musty and realized that the living conditions were even worse now.
She probably couldn't stand it and left after a few days.
Grandma: "I'll help you weed."
The couple said in unison: "No need, grandma, we can do it ourselves!"

Grandma smiled and said, "It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway. Xiaoxia, remember to check carefully. I don't know if the two snakes have laid a nest of eggs and hatched a nest of baby snakes in the house."
Jiang Xia: “.”
What kind of lewd language is this? Laying a nest of snake eggs and hatching a nest of baby snakes?
Is there any such operation?
She wants to put it back on!
I miss the one-bedroom apartment she bought in Beijing, even though it hasn't been delivered yet.
The great-grandmother was weeding the ground with a hoe and smiling: Haha. I don't believe she dares to sleep alone at night.
Isn't she so scared that she dares to sleep with A Lei in her arms? She is still looking forward to holding her great-grandson!
Great grandmother’s son is the same age as Alei (different generation), and her grandsons are old enough to go to primary school.
Great-grandmother is older than Zhou's mother. She is only two years older than Zhou's mother, but she is older in generation.
She worked very efficiently. With each stroke of the hoe, she could remove a thin layer of grass.
It was not good to leave the great-grandmother alone in the yard, so Jiang Xia went to help her weed.
Jiang Xia took a hoe and tried to weed like her grandmother, but she couldn't do it like her. Either she dug too deep and made a hole, or she dug too shallow and the grass roots were still there. The ground was full of potholes and it was a horrible sight.
After hoeing for a while, her waist and hands hurt.
Upon closer inspection, I saw blisters on my palms.
This hand is too tender. Blisters appeared so quickly. This body is too delicate.
Jiang Xia took a look and ignored it, continuing to dig slowly with the hoe.
After Zhou Chenglei finished cleaning, grandma and Jiang Xia also cleaned the grass in the yard.
Jiang Xia was good at hands-on work and had already learned to use a hoe to weed. However, she had several blisters on the palms of her hands, which had all broken. She didn't feel much pain while working, so she didn't take it seriously.
The great grandmother looked at the piece of land that Jiang Xia had cleaned up, which was flat, neat and clean, and praised happily: "Xiao Xia is a quick learner. A Lei, you have married a treasure."
He is so capable and can master it right away. Even my grandmother has never seen such a thing.
Zhou Chenglei looked over.
This chapter was a draft I saved a few months ago. When I was a child, I had the experience of a snake entering the house. The story about the snake crawling into the bed was something I made up. I didn't expect to see such a video a few days ago.
