Chapter 425 Fell
Li Xiuxian really didn't want to go back to town and wash her thick cotton clothes and trousers, so she said, "Why don't we go back tomorrow morning? We can just let A Lei drive the jeep to take us back to town."
Zhou Chengsen: "You can go back tomorrow. Yingying and I will go back now."
It's freezing cold, and you don't have to go out to sea or go to work. Who would like to crawl out of the warm bed early?
He felt embarrassed even though his fourth brother was willing.
After saying that, he carried his daughter onto the bicycle, put her schoolbag on his back, and rode out on the bicycle.
Li Xiuxian: “…”
I’m really impressed!
They are all family, and Zhou Chenglei is still his younger brother. Isn't it normal for him to take them back to town once or twice on rainy or cold days?
If she were Zhou Chenglei or Jiang Xia, and she had a jeep, she would have offered it up on her own initiative!
Zhou Chengsen left, and Li Xiuxian had no choice but to quickly catch up on her bicycle.
I don’t know if she was angry or just unlucky, but when she was walking on the village road, her wheels slipped and she fell.
She was fine, but her clothes were all dirty! Zhou Chengsen heard it, looked back, and then took his daughter off the bicycle, letting her stand in a clean place beside it, and then he went back to help her.
Li Xiuxian shook him off and got up. "I told you to go back tomorrow morning, but you insisted on going back now. Are you happy now?"
Zhou Chengsen: "I told you that you can go back tomorrow. I'm going back today and I didn't ask you to follow me!"
Why bother others when you can do it yourself?
Li Xiuxian: “…”
This time, Li Xiuxian was so angry that she burst into tears.
He took his daughter away first, and she had the nerve to let Zhou Chenglei send her off? The couple entered a cold war again.
***It has been raining for three days in a row and the weather is getting colder day by day!
The rainy winter was really too cold, and with the gusts of sea breeze blowing over, Jiang Xia really didn't want to go out of the yard.
The doors and windows of the room were all closed tightly and the curtains were drawn, but Jiang Xia could still feel a draft leaking through the window while sitting in front of it translating.
Zhou Chenglei would go out for a run every day when the rain stopped, and then take a cold shower when he came back.
Water is now pumped from a well into a pool on the roof and then released from a tap.
The water is no longer warm after leaving the well for a while, and the water from the tap is freezing cold.
Zhou's mother was unwilling to use it and preferred to use water from the well.
Zhou Chenglei simply turned on the shower to take a shower.
This way you won’t catch a cold.
I really admire him! There is no indoor heating in winter here, and it is so cold that people can't sit still.
These days, the whole family gathered around the stove to keep warm. Strictly speaking, it was the women who gathered around the stove to keep warm.
The men all went to work in the old house, drying fish.
Zhou's mother: "This winter is particularly cold. It has never been this cold before. The trees on the mountain near your grandmother's house are probably covered with rime and frozen."
They live by the sea, and it's actually not as cold as inland.
Zhou's mother was really lonely at her parents' home before she got married.
Jiang Xia was learning to crochet a sofa cushion from Tian Caihua, and after hearing this, she said, "Then let's go visit grandpa and grandma during the Chinese New Year, won't we have a chance to see rime?"
As soon as Jiang Xia sat on the cowhide sofa, his butt felt cold and he couldn't stand it. He felt that he needed a sofa cushion.
It just so happened that Tian Caihua bought a lot of wool yarn. It was not wool but very soft, cheap and durable, and very cost-effective to use it to make sofa cushions.
Zhou's mother was sewing clothes for her children: "You can only see it during the Chinese New Year when the weather is cold."
The house was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Jiang Xia just took a few sweet potatoes and threw them into the brazier to roast them.
It's so sweet! Zhou's mother was afraid that Jiang Xia would get irritated if she ate too much, so she cooked some wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea in the stove.
These days, Zhou Chenglei, Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin have been in the old house, drying fish and burning the ceiling of the tractor's driving seat.
After the drying room was built, it finally came in handy. Otherwise, it had rained for so many days and the golden pomfret we had caught would have been wasted.
Mother Zhou was somewhat glad that Zhou Chenglei did not listen to her and built the two drying rooms and air-drying rooms, otherwise hundreds of kilograms of golden pomfret would have been wasted.
Jiang Xia heard Zhou Chenglei say that he also wanted to burn a detachable iron frame for the tractor's cargo bed, and then cover it with a rainproof cloth, just like a small truck or a dual-purpose freight jeep.
That way, you don’t have to worry about getting the dried fish wet when you deliver them to the city on rainy days.
There are no strict regulations on the modification of tractors.
While I was thinking about Zhou Chenglei, Zhou Chenglei walked into the yard carrying two buckets of seafood and a basket of vegetables.
When he went to collect the nets, he also went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables.
Jiang Xia put down the wool in his hand, walked out, took the straw hat and raincoat from his head, and hung them in the garage: "Are you setting up the net again? Aren't you cold?"
Because the weather is cold recently, we have hotpot, especially seafood hotpot, for lunch and dinner at home.
Otherwise, the next dish will not be cooked yet, and the previous dish will be completely cold, and the food will not be warm when you eat it.

Shrimp and crab are better, but steamed fish will taste fishy when it gets cold.
Seeing that Jiang Xia had eaten little meat, Zhou Chenglei just focused on eating the hot rice that had just come out of the rice cooker.
He just wanted to have hotpot.
So even if it rained all day, Zhou Chenglei would go to the beach every day to cast a net, put out some earthenware pots, catch some seafood and take it home for hot pot, so that Jiangxia would have fresh seafood to eat every day.
"No, I'm not afraid of the cold."
Jiang Xia looked at his red nose, ears and hands. It would be strange if he wasn't cold! Jiang Xia loved seafood hotpot and never got tired of it, but she didn't want Zhou Chenglei to set the net in the freezing rain.
You don’t have to eat seafood hotpot, you can also eat mutton hotpot.
Jiang Xia said, "Aren't there sheep for sale in the next village? How about we go buy a sheep tomorrow? Mutton stew is also very delicious."
One sheep can be eaten for several days, and now we have a refrigerator at home, so we can store it.
This way he wouldn't have to go out to sea to set the nets every day, just so she could eat fresh seafood.
Mutton is a warm tonic, and is best eaten in winter. Zhou Chenglei had never thought of this before. When he heard this, he walked to the garage, picked up his raincoat, put it on, and put on a straw hat: "I'll go to Uncle Wen to order some lamb now."
If you order now, Father Wen can kill the sheep in the afternoon and deliver it in the evening, so you can have mutton hotpot for dinner.
Jiang Xia: "No, why are you in such a hurry? We have so much seafood today, enough for two days. It won't be too late to order tomorrow or the day after tomorrow if it doesn't rain."
"It's okay, I'll go order it first." Zhou Chenglei said this and rode out on his bike.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Her original intention was not to make him suffer too much, but she didn't expect it to make him suffer even more.
In the evening, when the rain stopped, Wen's father pulled a sheep over on an iron cart.
Zhou Bingqiang's wife walked out of the yard and was about to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables when she saw Wen's father bringing in a sheep.
She grinned and greeted loudly: "In-laws!"
Then she turned around and shouted to the house: "Xiao Wan, your in-laws are here! They sent a sheep to nourish you!"
Wen Wan was translating in the hall. She came out quickly after hearing this: "Dad, it's so cold, why did you kill the sheep?"
Father Wen said awkwardly, "No, this is the sheep that A-lei ordered. I delivered it to him."
Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "..."
Wen Wan: “…”
She just knew, how could her father be so nice!
Zhou's mother ran out at this time, smiling and said, "I'm here! Come into the house quickly! This is what A-lei bought for Xiao Xia to replenish her body!"
Wen Wan: “…”
Thank you for your blessings, thank you for voting and rewarding friends,
In the New Year, everyone is happy, healthy, safe, and prosperous!
