Chapter 376: Home

Zhou Zhou took the basket of conchs that Jiang Xia prepared for her, and Li Zi ran out.

Zhou Zhou did not bring the sweet potatoes with him. They liked to continue looking for some sweet potatoes that had escaped the harvest on the ground, dig them out and roast them.

After Zhou Zhou went out to play, Zhou Chenglei washed Jiang Xia's hair.

After Jiang Xia washed his hair and went to take a shower, he started washing the vegetables, then steamed the rice, and also steamed the rice for Zhou Chengxin's family.

My eldest brother and his friends will come over to get the gold bars soon. Today they helped to distribute the fish, so I just let them stay at home for dinner.

After Jiang Xia came out of the shower, he washed the conchs, scallops, abalone and other seafood, soaked the vermicelli, and prepared the minced garlic. He would just steam them when he got back.

As for other dishes, Zhou's mother had already cut a plate of bacon and washed a basket of pea pods and pea sprouts.

Later he will bring back a big yellow croaker and steam it, and that will be enough for the dish.

Zhou Chenglei said to Jiang Xia, "Xia Xia, I'm going to the dock to see if the fish has been sorted. I'll come back and steam the seafood so we can eat. Don't blow dry your hair in the yard. It's too windy! Go back inside and put on an extra layer of clothes."

Jiang Xia responded, and Zhou Chenglei rode his motorcycle to the dock.

Shortly after Zhou Chenglei left, Jiang Xia looked at the time. It was half past five.

She planned to cook in another fifteen minutes.

Jiang Xia closed the courtyard door and returned to his room to translate while waiting for his hair to dry.

Before Jiang Xia had even translated a page of the book, he heard a knock on the courtyard door: "Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia, are you home?"

Jiang Xia closed the pen, walked out and opened the gate.

The visitor was Feng Xuexing, Pan Daidi's eldest daughter-in-law, from the next door house.

Feng Xuexing smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, I went back to my mother's house today and brought back a bag of yam. I'll give it to you two to try. My mother grew them, and they're very sweet."

Jiang Xia took a look at the two coconut-sized jujubes in her hand and said with a smile, "Thank you. I'm not being polite. I have a big bag at home too! I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them and waste them. Look, aren't there two more on the windowsill of my kitchen? There's also a big bag inside."

Jiang Xia pointed to the windowsill of the water kitchen.

Feng Xuexing took a look and found that it was true.

She smiled and said, "I didn't expect you have some at home. Did Auntie grow them? Auntie is the best vegetable grower in the village."

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It was also given to me by someone else."

Zhou's mother is good at growing vegetables. The vegetables at home grow well and they can be eaten a few days earlier than those in the village.

However, she did not plant kudzu, but she did plant pink kudzu.

Jiang Xia heard Zhou's mother mention a few days ago that she would dig some kudzu vines and make some kudzu powder in a few days.

The water chestnuts were brought by Zhou Chenglei's comrades-in-arms. They brought two large bags, one and a half of which were taken on board, so only half a bag was left at home.

Feng Xuexing felt a little embarrassed to talk about the fact that the things had not been delivered.

Jiang Xia saw that she was hesitant to speak, and didn't have time to dawdle with her, so he asked directly: "Is there anything else?"

The relationship between the two families had long been bad, but Feng Xuexing was not like Pan Daidi, and her husband was not like Zhou Junjie.

Whenever they meet the Jiangxia family when they go out, the couple will take the initiative to greet them.

At least maintain the surface harmony.

However, because of the relationship between Pan Daidi and Zhou Junjie, the relationship between the two families was destined to be impotent.

Feng Xuexing had hesitated for many days before coming to the door. She gritted her teeth and directly stated her purpose: "Didn't your family buy two new boats? Do you need to hire someone? My husband happens to be free. Don't worry, my husband is not the same as my brother-in-law. Uncle Yongfu and Aunt Yongfu also know that my husband is quite steady and hardworking. When he was in the production team, he also went out to sea to fish with Uncle Yongfu."

Although Zhou Junwen seems to be a very stable person and not as flamboyant as Zhou Junjie, Pan Daidi will be released soon.

Jiang Xia didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he refused with a smile: "I know you two are hardworking and capable people, but we have already hired someone."

Feng Xuexing couldn't hide her disappointment after hearing this: "Did you invite him?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Yes, you are invited. Please sit down. I will light a fire and steam the dishes."

Feng Xuexing hurriedly said, "No, I won't sit down. I have to go back to cook. I'll go back first."

She still put two yam on the well cover and said, "Try whether the ones my mom grows are sweet or not."

Feng Xuexing turned around and was about to walk out of the yard when she saw Li Xiuxian coming in pushing a bicycle.

Feng Xuexing greeted him, "Teacher Li is back."

Li Xiuxian was her son's teacher when she taught at the village primary school.

Li Xiuxian responded with a smile.

Zhou Ying greeted Jiang Xia happily: "Aunt! Where's Zhou Zhou?"

Jiang Xia didn't understand why Li Xiuxian came back again, and replied with a smile: "Zhou Zhou and his brothers went to the fields to roast sweet potatoes."

Zhou Ying immediately jumped off her bike: "I'll go too!"

Then he ran out.

Li Xiuxian warned: "Be careful not to get your clothes dirty."

"knew."

Jiang Xia greeted Li Xiuxian: "Second sister-in-law, where is second brother?"

Li Xiuxian explained: "He didn't come back. He had a dinner party in the evening. I came back to find someone in the village to go out to sea with my dad and his friends."

Feng Xuexing had already walked out of the yard. After hearing this, she turned back immediately and asked, "Teacher Li, are you planning to hire someone to go fishing?"

Li Xiuxian: “Yes!”

Feng Xuexing: "My man happens to be free. Teacher Li, you know Junwen is a very hardworking and honest person."

Of course Li Xiuxian knew Zhou Junwen, after all, she also lived in the old house for several years when she got married.

Zhou Junwen is indeed very hardworking, but Zhou Junjie is not like that, he is lazy and likes to eat.

However, Zhou Chengsen asked her to come back and ask her uncle's cousin Zhou Jiansheng if he was free.

She also knew that Jiang Xia had put Pan Daidi into the cage.

She said, "I have to ask Asen's cousin if he is free first. If he is not free, I will contact you."

Feng Xuexing was disappointed again and said with a smile: "Okay, then feel free to contact us if you need anything."

"good!"

"Then I'll go back and cook."

"Um."

After Feng Xuexing left, Li Xiuxian asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "She also came to ask if you are hiring boatmen?"

Jiang Xia picked up the cleaned pea pods from the well cover and was about to start cooking. He nodded after hearing this: "Yes, but we have already found Brother Jianxing."

Li Xiuxian said, "Don't worry, I know you don't get along with them! I won't ask Zhou Junwen for help! I'll go ask Zhou Jiansheng if he's free, and come back to cook."

After Li Xiuxian finished speaking, she turned the bicycle around.

Jiang Xia called her, "Second sister-in-law, the meal is ready. I don't know how much you eat, so you should steam the rice you want first!"

"Oh, you're cooking so early."

"I went out to sea today. When I came back, Cheng Lei steamed the rice before going to the dock."

Li Xiuxian had no choice but to park her bicycle and go to steam the meal for her and her daughter.

She washed the rice, put it on the stove, and said to Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, when you steam the seafood later, please help me steam the rice in the iron pot! It's getting dark, I'll go ask Jiansheng if he's free."

"Second sister-in-law, please light a fire first! I'm not very good at making a fire, and I just washed my hair. I'm afraid the ashes will stain my hair."

Li Xiuxian: “…”
