Chapter 457: Can't Escape from Carrying Manure
Zhou Chenglei returned home at around eight o'clock the next morning.
Jiang Xia was chopping vegetables in the yard, and an old hen and a group of chicks were foraging for food beside her.
Hearing the sound of a car, Jiang Xia walked out.
After the car stopped and Zhou Chenglei got out, she walked up to him and asked, "Are you tired? Didn't you sleep all night last night?"
Zhou Chenglei took a look at Jiang Xia's complexion, which was not as good as it was yesterday morning.
He held her with her growing belly as he walked into the house: "I'm not tired, I slept well. I went home and slept at 10 o'clock last night, and got up at 4 o'clock to send Jiang Dong to the airport. How about you? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"It's okay, I just got hungry in the middle of the night, so I got up and ate two boiled eggs." Jiang Xia feels hungry very quickly now, but if he eats too much, he will feel a little chest tightness.
Zhou Chenglei gently squeezed her hand and asked, "Did you get up in the middle of the night to cook it?"
"No, Mom knew you were not here and was afraid I would be hungry in the middle of the night, so she cooked it before going to bed. She also put it in a thermos with hot water so that I could eat warm eggs."
It seems that eating only a bowl of milk bird's nest at night is not enough to fill you up, so Zhou Chenglei said: "I'll make you some noodles for a midnight snack tonight."
"No, let's see if I'm still hungry tonight. You know I sleep like a pig. I usually sleep until dawn and won't wake up in the middle of the night."
Zhou Chenglei laughed.
Jiang Xia asked again: "Have you had breakfast? I left some for you. I'll go get it. I got up early today and made some omelets."
"I ate a little at around four in the morning. You can have more. I'll get it myself. You sit down." After Zhou Chenglei helped Jiang Xia sit down, he went to wash his hands and then went to get breakfast.
Zhou's father went to the beach, Zhou's mother went to the vegetable garden, and Zhou Zhou went to school. There were only the couple at home, and Zhou Chenglei told her what happened while eating cakes.
Jiang Xia sat there and continued to chop vegetables and eat chicken, listening to him.
After listening to this, Jiang Xia sighed and said, "Jiang Dong has learned his lesson this time."
"Well, every failure is a learning experience."
This time, Jiang Dong had written a note before he set out. When he found himself dizzy, he knew something was wrong, so when the owner of Fumanlou helped him, he held his hand and quietly gave him the note, asking him to call the police.
So the owner of Fumanlou called the police immediately, detained the student, locked up everyone in the room, and asked the waiter to watch outside the window to see if anyone destroyed the evidence.
Jiang Xia was happy about Jiang Dong's wit and said with a smile: "He must have been scared and learned to be smart."
Zhou Chenglei ate the fragrant egg pancakes made by Jiang Xia with sweet potato porridge, thinking: How can I not be afraid? I have been plotted against so many times.
Even a pig has learned how to protect itself.
*There was still half a month left in the first lunar month. During this time, Zhou Chenglei accompanied Jiang Xia to take the boat license test and the motorcycle driver's license test. He passed both tests in one try and could get the licenses in half a month.
It started raining the day after I passed the exam. It kept drizzling and Jiangxia hadn’t seen the sun for ten days.
We can't go out to sea on rainy days, but with the beginning of spring, every household is busy raising rice seedlings.
In the fields, villagers can be seen everywhere wearing straw hats and covering themselves with transparent plastic bags, turning the soil.
Whether there will be enough food in the second half of the year depends on this season's early rice. In addition, public grain must be paid. Every household dares not delay and dares not wait until the weather is good to work, because they don't know when the rain will stop.
Zhou Chenglei also unloaded the tractor's cargo box last night and replaced it with steel wheels. After breakfast this morning, he drove to the fields and plowed as soon as the rain stopped.
Jiang Xia had never seen how a tractor plowed the land and wanted to go and see it, but it was raining every day and the road was slippery. She had a big belly, so she didn't go to join in the fun and stayed at home to translate.
There is a brazier burning in the house. The weather is not very cold, but the house is too humid because it rains every day, especially the first floor. Burning the brazier can make the house drier and more comfortable.
Li Xiuxian and Zhou Chengsen came back around nine o'clock.
The couple walked in with Zhou Ying.
Yingying shouted happily: "Aunt, I'm back! Where's my sister?"
"Doing homework upstairs." Jiang Xia responded with a smile and greeted Zhou Chengsen and his wife.
Yingying ran up immediately.
Zhou Chengsen asked Jiang Xia: "Did mom and dad go to the fields?"
"Well, today we started to prepare the rice fields and raise the rice seedlings. They all went to the fields."
Li Xiuxian asked: "Did A Lei drive the tractor to plow the fields?"
"have."
Li Xiuxian was relieved after hearing this. So she didn't have to go to the fields to plow the soil, right? Zhou Chengsen said to Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, your second sister-in-law and I will go to the fields. Yingying, please help me take a look."
"good."
Li Xiuxian: "Isn't A Lei driving a tractor to plow the fields? We don't need to go, right? We can cook for them at home!"
It was raining and she really didn't want to go out. The horrible weather made her clothes dirty, and they weren't easy to dry after washing. After being hung in the sun for a few days, they smelled musty.
Zhou Chengsen: "After the tractor plows, it needs to be tidied before sowing. It's okay if you don't go. I'll go and tidy up the rice paddies first. You wash the vegetables at home, then go to the toilet to collect manure, carry a few loads to the fields, apply base fertilizer first, and then you can sow directly tomorrow."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Jiang Xia: "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to cook, I'll do it. Mom and Dad have already mixed the manure with wood ash last night, you can pack it in a snakeskin bag and send it over with a cart! It's just right to send all three families together."
Then Zhou Chenglei won’t have to come back and pretend later.
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Jiang Xia is really good at ordering people around!
Li Xiuxian said to Zhou Chengsen, "I'd better go to the field with you to tidy up the rice field first! It's raining, let's tidy it up quickly so you don't have to get wet in the rain for so long."
Zhou Chengsen was too lazy to pay attention to her. He went back to the old house to get farm tools and hurried to the fields.
*In the fields, Zhou Chenglei drove the tractor to plow his own rice field, and also plowed Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chengsen's rice fields.
When Zhou Chengsen and his wife arrived, Zhou Chenglei had just finished plowing the fields of the three families.
The land at great-grandmother's house also needed to be plowed, so Zhou Chenglei lent the tractor to Zhou Yongguo and asked him to give the tractor to Zhou Guodong after he had plowed the land.
Recently, people in the village have been coming to him every day to ask him to drive a tractor to plow the land.
He doesn't have the time to earn that money.
Although you can make money by buying a tractor and helping others to transport goods and plow the land, the money you can earn as a translator in a day is more than that.
So he gave the tractor to Zhou Guodong to plow the land for others, letting him earn the money, and the two of them split it in half.
The land plowed by the tractor had to be sorted into furrows before sowing. With the help of the eldest brother and his wife and parents, his family's land had been sorted, and now the second brother's land was being sorted. Zhou Chenglei also picked up a hoe to help.
At this time, Zhou Chengsen and his wife arrived.
Zhou Chengsen said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, A-Lei, A-Xian and I will take care of it, you guys take a rest."
Zhou's mother: "No, I'll rest after I finish. I've already started working."
Zhou's mother is strong and doesn't mind doing more, since it is all for her son anyway.
And this year the land was plowed with a tractor, so it was much easier to organize, and she was used to it and didn't feel tired.
Father Zhou said to Zhou Chengsen, "Go back and bring the manure here! We can spread it on the fields after it's sorted out."
Zhou Chengsen: "Okay."
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Well! I still can’t avoid picking up manure!
