Chapter 424 Pregnant Women Meal
Li Xiuxian came in and saw the hair dryer on Jiang Xia's dressing table. It was imported and an appliance that others might not be able to buy with a month's salary.
Even if you have money, it is still difficult to buy things, as imported goods require foreign exchange bills.
Foreign exchange bills are the hardest to obtain, and Zhou Chengsen doesn’t even have one.
Jiang Xia has good parents so he doesn't need this thing.
However, Li Xiuxian guessed wrong. Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei worked as part-time translators at the Guangzhou Trade Fair. Several factory managers gave them a lot of tickets, including food coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, industrial coupons, foreign exchange coupons of various denominations, and other tickets.
Jiang Xia plans to keep a few sets for collection and give one to each child in the future.
"What does my second sister-in-law want to talk to me about?" Jiang Xia asked again.
Li Xiuxian looked at Jiang Xia and was stunned for a moment.
"As bright as lotus emerging from water, as gorgeous as lotus spreading its petals" is referring to Jiangxia, right?
It turns out that some people can really be as pure and elegant as a lotus flower emerging from the water after bathing.
"Second sister-in-law?" Jiang Xia called again.
She still wants to blow dry her hair! Li Xiuxian came back to her senses: "Um, have you been out to sea these two days?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes."
Li Xiu asked: "Did you see my elder brother and my father fishing?"
Jiang Xia: "Very good, my father-in-law is quite good at sailing."
"So are there a lot of fish in the sea recently? Is fishing easy?"
Jiang Xia: “It’s harder to fish than when the weather is hot. I can’t catch a single fish in half an hour.”
"Then have you noticed how many fish my eldest brother and my father caught? What kind of fish are they?"
Jiang Xia: "Their boats either followed far behind or fished in separate waters. We didn't pay much attention."
"Did Alei notice?
Jiang Xia: "I don't know, but he usually doesn't have time to pay attention to what others are doing when he's driving a boat."
Li Xiuxian felt a little annoyed after hearing this. Of course she knew what she said, and when she asked her parents-in-law, they said they didn't pay much attention to it!
Don't they know to keep an eye on her?
"Xiao Xia, I have something to trouble you and my fourth brother. Please ask my fourth brother to keep an eye on what kind of fish my father and brother catch, and watch them sell the fish when they sell them."
Jiang Xia understood her intention as soon as he heard it, and said directly: "No trouble, we don't have time to pay attention. Sorry!"
Li Xiuxian: “…”
What a ruthless rejection!
Jiang Xia could have explained or refused tactfully, but she felt that it was pointless to explain to someone like her, and it would be the same whether she refused or not, so she didn't bother to talk and just drove her away: "Second sister-in-law, is there anything else? I'm going to blow dry my hair and go to bed."
She didn't take a nap at noon today, she just wanted to dry her hair and go to bed early.
I heard that a mother’s sleeping habits will affect her child’s sleeping habits.
After saying that, she plugged in the plug, turned on the hair dryer and started blowing her hair with a "buzzing" sound.
Li Xiuxian: “…”
How rude.
She turned around and left.
Zhou Chenglei was making milk stewed eggs and seafood noodle soup for Jiang Xia in the kitchen on the first floor.
Li Xiuxian walked out of the hall and smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen. She instantly felt hungry.
She didn't eat enough tonight.
She went into the lighted kitchen.
There are two kitchens in the new house. One is built with an old-fashioned earthen stove like the old house, which mainly burns firewood, straw, etc.
The other one uses a gas stove to make a fire. The kitchen designed by Jiangxia is not much different from the modern ones, with cabinets, cooking tables and island counters.
The two kitchens are placed side by side, and there is a floor, which can be used to dry things.
This modern kitchen makes it very convenient to cook some midnight snacks at night. You don’t have to worry about too much wood ash falling on your hair when using a gas stove.
Zhou Chenglei makes midnight snacks in this kitchen.
Li Xiuxian asked, "Alei is making supper? Make two more pancakes! I'll call your second brother to come and eat with us. He should be hungry too."
She is hungry too!
Dinner was made in a hurry. She had originally planned to pan-fry the salted fish, but later found it troublesome and afraid that there would not be enough time, so she steamed it instead. She forgot to add salt, so she added salt again and soy sauce, which made it too salty.
The same thing happened with the fish stew. She had already put salt in it at the beginning, but she forgot about it and put it again after it was cooked. She only remembered it when she was eating it.
The main reason was that she wanted to go to the pier so much that she was a little impatient to make dinner.
Zhou Chenglei put a pancake into the boiling water: "This is a meal for pregnant women. My second brother is hungry, let him make it, and help me make a bowl by the way."
“…”
Li Xiuxian watched him cooking noodles.

Next to it is a bowl of cooked seafood, including sea cucumber, scallop meat, conch meat, and shrimp.
Pregnant women's meal? When did seafood noodles become a pregnant women's meal and ordinary people can no longer eat it?
Just add two more dough pieces and mix them together!
If you don't want to give up that seafood, just say so.
She turned around and walked back to the old house.
Zhou Chenglei mixed the noodles, took out the milk stewed eggs, put them on the tray, locked the courtyard door, and took them all upstairs to Jiang Xia to eat.
Jiang Xia's hair had just been blow-dried, and she came out smelling the fragrance and smiled, "It looks delicious."
"Eat more." Zhou Chenglei saw that she was wearing thin clothes, so he went into the room and took out a coat for her to put on. "What does Second Sister-in-law want to talk to you about?"
"Let's help her keep an eye on what kind of fish her father and brother usually catch." Jiang Xia picked up a piece of plump sea cucumber meat and fed it to Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chenglei opened his mouth and bit it: "Don't worry about her, who has time to help keep an eye on her, my second brother knows what's going on."
"Well, I refused."
Once out to sea, everyone's boats were like fish released into the sea, running around everywhere.
Gathering together is not conducive to trawling. If you are not careful, the fishing net will be entangled in the propeller of another boat. Not to mention whether the boat will capsize, it will be troublesome even if it does not capsize.
Recently, Zhou Chenglei has been trawling farther and farther away, because there are more and more ships in the sea area where he used to operate.
I guess everyone saw Zhou Chenglei’s full warehouse of fish every day, and thought that there were a lot of fish in that sea, so they all ran over there.
Now he would rather spend more fuel than squeeze with others.
The couple both understood Li Xiuxian's intention and tacitly did not discuss her. Zhou Chenglei hugged her, put his hand on her belly and got close to the child: "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Jiang Xia picked up another scallop and fed it to him.
They were the only ones on the second floor, so Zhou Chenglei simply held Jiang Xia in his arms and fed her.
The two of them shared a bowl of seafood noodles intimately, she took a bite and he took a bite.
The seafood noodle soup is delicious, and the milk stewed egg is tender and sweet.
A bowl of seafood noodles made of dough and a bowl of milk stewed egg. The portions are not large, so two people won’t feel too full after eating them, but they won’t make them go to bed hungry either.
After brushing his teeth, Jiang Xia lay back on the bed, feeling warm all over, and fell asleep quickly.
In the middle of the night, a cold front arrived, and the wind and waves were very strong, so we couldn't go out to sea.
Li Xiuxian also planned to go out to sea today to make some good money.
In the end, she couldn't go out again! God must be against her! This time the cold front was a bit strong, and it even rained at noon.
Zhou Chengsen was worried that the roads in the village would be muddy tomorrow and that it would rain tomorrow morning, so he said he would go back to town in the afternoon when the rain stopped.
In fact, it had been raining for a long time, and the road in the village must have become a muddy road. It was easy for the wheels to slip when riding a bicycle. She had fallen several times. Even if she didn't fall, her clothes would be dirty and covered with mud. Li Xiuxian couldn't help but take a look at the jeep parked in the garage.
