Chapter 386 Fever

Zhou Li felt a little resentful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She knew that she was too impatient this time. The rumors were getting louder and louder, and she was afraid that if she didn't say anything, it would be too late, so she became anxious.

"That's right. Why should I worry about something that hasn't happened yet? When there is a real notice, Xiao Xia, please help me put in a word! I'll be leaving first. I still have to go back to the office to clean up."

Zhou Li said this and walked out.

Jiang Xia hurriedly called her over, picked up the things she brought and returned them to her: "Wait!"

Zhou's mother took it, chased after her, stopped Zhou Li and gave it back to her: "Neighbors come here and bring things. You can take these away! I have everything at home! Look, there's a piece of meat hanging in the kitchen, and there's food on the cabinets. We can't finish it all."

"No, this is to thank Xiao Xia for helping Wen Wan..."

Jiang Xia: "It's only a matter of words to help Wen Wancai. We just called an ambulance. I'm embarrassed to accept these things. If I accept them, people will criticize me. If you don't take them away, I will personally send them back to your house. Next time, I won't dare let you into the house."

"Yes, we are neighbors, we shouldn't play tricks on each other. If we can help, we will help. If we can't help, there is nothing we can do." Zhou's mother stopped her and stuffed the things into her hands.

The meaning of their refusal was very clear, and Zhou Li would not fail to understand.

Since you don't want to help, then why not give it to me? Take it back and feed it to the dog. The dog will wag its tail at you! We have been neighbors for so many years, and you didn't help me with a single word. How can they feel guilty about telling others about it?

Thinking so, she took it and said with a smile, "You don't want it even though I brought it here. Really! I'll come and play with you next time when I'm free!"

After Zhou Li left, great-grandmother and He Xinghuan came over.

He Xinghuan handed some papers to Jiang Xia and said, "Xiao Xia, these are the things sold in the school canteen. Can you see what else we need to buy?"

Jiang Xia took it and asked with a smile: "Have you picked a date? Can we start buying the goods?"

Grandma smiled and said, "We picked the sixth to open the shop. We have already cleaned the shop and bought the windows and shelves. There is still a month left before the winter vacation and the rent has been paid. We should open the shop as soon as possible. We can make as much money as we can every day."

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "That's right, maybe we can earn enough money for the New Year."

She looked through it carefully. There were many kinds of snacks and many typos, but Jiang Xia could understand them. They were all common snacks in the canteen, with retail prices and purchase prices written on them.

They are all very cheap snacks that cost less than 20 cents, as well as some exercise books, erasers, pencils, ballpoint pens, rulers and other school supplies. The main purpose is that a child can afford them with their pocket money.

The most expensive item on this purchase list is instant noodles, which retail for 50 cents a pack, or 70 cents a pack.

Instant noodles are a luxury food for children.

However, instant noodles also have sales. Some parents do not have time to make breakfast for their children, so they will buy a pack of instant noodles for their children for breakfast.

Jiang Xia took a look at the complete set and said, "We can add rice buckets. I think rice buckets are also delicious. We can also add the dried fish we made ourselves. I will order some small packaging bags and sell them for five cents a bag. I think a lot of children will buy them."

He Xinghuan smiled and said, "Yes, we need to add rice noodles and small fish. Many children love to eat these. I forgot about them."

After hearing this, the great grandmother said, "I can also make some pickled radishes, pickled papayas and the like and sell them at one cent a piece. I think someone should buy them, right?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "You can make it. The village store also sells it. In fact, as long as it is edible, people will buy it. You can try making a jar first to see if there are many people who buy it."

Grandma: "Yes, you can't make too much, it won't last long."

…

The four of them worked together to make clothes for the children while discussing the business of the convenience store. They talked for more than an hour and made an appointment to go to Great-grandmother's house for dinner on the opening day to celebrate. Then Great-grandmother and He Xinghuan left happily.

At noon, Jiang Xia and Zhou's mother cooked together. Zhou's mother didn't need Jiang Xia's help, so Jiang Xia was only responsible for lighting the fire, and almost everything else was done by Zhou's mother.

Tian Caihua also went out to sea, and Guangzongyaozu and his brothers also ate here.

Seeing such a sumptuous lunch, Zhou Wenzu couldn't help but say, "Aunt, you should eat at home every day! Don't go out to sea. When you are not at home, grandma only steams dried fish for us."

Zhou's mother glared at him and said, "Even food can't stop you from eating? Is dried fish not delicious? If it's not delicious, why do you eat so much every day?"

Usually, only Zhou's mother and the children are at home to eat, so she just steams some dried fish, makes a mixed fish stew, and stir-fries some vegetables. It's a simple meal.

But Jiang Xia was at home, and now Jiang Xia was eating for four people, so Zhou's mother went to the dock to buy some fresh seafood.

I made braised prawns, steamed sea bass, steamed omelette, steamed dried fish with fermented black beans, vegetables, and a jute fish and tofu soup.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Usually, grandma is the only one at home, and she does all the housework by herself. How can she have time to cook so many dishes? You should help grandma with more work in the future. Then she will be less tired and can cook more dishes for you."

When Zhou's mother doesn't go out to sea, life at home is really not easy at all. There is really a lot of housework to do, and it's all physical work.

Jiang Xia can now only help with light work, such as lighting the fire, washing vegetables, chopping vegetable leaves and cooking pig food.

Several children agreed with a smile, and rushed to say that they did housework, herded geese, and cattle... Jiang Xia praised them.

Zhou Zhou suddenly asked: "Aunt, what is a pig's cheek?"

Jiang Xia was confused: "What do you mean by pig holding cheeks?"

Zhou's mother frowned when she heard this: "Where did you hear that?"

"I heard from a classmate in our class that his younger brother has pig cheek disease and his face looks like a pig's head."

When Jiang Xia heard this, he roughly guessed what pig cheeks were. It should be mumps.

Zhou's mother heard this and said, "Stay away from your classmate! Pig cheeks are contagious. Which village is your classmate from?"

Zhou Wenzu: "I know, from Dashi Village."

Dashi Village is quite far from their village. Zhou's mother said, "Don't go to Dashi Village to play recently! Don't play too much with the students from Dashi Village, okay? Otherwise, you will become pig-heads too."

After hearing this, several children were scared and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Xia also reminded: "Don't rub your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands at school. When you get home, you must wash your hands before eating, understand?"

"I know!" They all didn't want to turn into pig heads.

Zhou's mother was not actually very scared that her children had mumps. She was just afraid that they would get it and infect Jiangxia.

Many medicines cannot be taken in Jiangxia now, so it is best not to catch a cold or fever.

Fortunately, it will be Saturday in two days and I can have a day off.

As a result, the children did not get infected with mumps, but on Friday night, the second family came back, and in the middle of the night, Zhou Ying developed a fever.
