Chapter 461: Seeing Each Other
At about ten o'clock, my second cousin from my aunt's mother's family and her niece from her mother's family came over.
The two brought a chicken, a goose, a basket of goose eggs, a bag of fruit and a large bag of homemade shrimp chips and candy rings.
Zhou's mother: "Why did you bring so many things? I brought back a lot of things the last time I went to your house."
The second cousin's wife smiled and said, "A Ling prepared it. I brought a basket of goose eggs here to eat and drink for free."
Xu Ling is also an honest person. She said a little reservedly, "My mother prepared it, not me."
Zhou's mother joked, "You are so polite! Why do you need to bring anything when you come to my place? If you are so polite, come often in the future, I won't even have to raise chickens and geese!"
Second cousin's wife: "Then I will come to my cousin's place often to eat and drink."
"Come on! I'm glad you're here."
Jiang Xia took some fruits, nuts, candies, biscuits and the like and put them on the coffee table, then asked them to eat.
The second cousin's wife looked at Jiang Xia's belly and said, "It seems to be much bigger than it was during the Chinese New Year. I remember when I gave birth to Jia Wen, my belly didn't seem to be as big as Xiao Xia's."
Zhou's mother then held up three fingers and whispered to her, "You're pregnant with triplets."
My second cousin’s wife’s expression was stunned.
Xu Ling also looked at Jiang Xia's belly in surprise.
After being surprised, the second cousin's wife smiled and said, "Alei is so lucky!"
Zhou's mother smiled and said, "He is so lucky because he married a good wife."
Jiang Xia just smiled.
She took a look at Xu Ling: her facial features were regular, not as delicate and beautiful as Lei Yuzhen's, but she was also pretty, the kind of person who was pleasing to the eye and became more attractive the more you looked at her.
At this time Zhou Guodong and Aunt Dong also came over.
Aunt Dong called out from outside, "Is Gui Huan home?"
Zhou's mother immediately stood up and walked out: "I'm here! Come in."
Zhou Guodong brought over a large bucket of fish and shrimp and placed it in the yard.
Zhou's mother: "Why did you bring fish? My family is also going out to sea today."
Zhou Guodong: "I just came back from the sea, it's fresh, so I brought it here for Auntie to try."
"Come in and sit down!"
The two went in together.
Zhou's mother introduced them with a smile: "This is my cousin's wife, and this is her niece Xu Ling. This is my second sister-in-law, and this is my nephew Zhou Guodong."
When Zhou Guodong came in, both sides saw each other.
At this time, Zhou Guodong and Xu Ling quickly glanced at each other.
Xu Ling took a look and lowered her head, her face a little hot.
Zhou Guodong didn't dare to look at it any longer. He took a look and then looked away, his ears feeling a little hot.
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "A Ling, do you want to go to the beach and pick up some snails to bring home?"
Aunt Dong smiled and said, "Let A-Dong take you there! He is the best at identifying snail eyes. A-Dong, will you take A-Ling with you?"
Zhou Guodong looked at A Ling and said, "Shall I take you to the beach?"
The tide hadn't receded yet, so there were no conchs to pick up. Zhou Guodong really couldn't bring himself to pick up conchs.
Ah Ling raised her head and glanced at him quickly, blushing and saying, "Okay."
So the two of them went out with red faces.
After the two young men left, Zhou's mother began to prepare lunch. She said to Aunt Dong, "You and Guodong can also eat at my house today. I will kill a chicken."
Although we are dating, my second cousin's wife is a relative after all. Since she has come from far away, of course I have to cook a meal for her.
Aunt Dong said, "No need to kill the chicken. I killed a chicken and a duck this morning. I also bought a piece of meat. I'll go get it."
Her family had been in trouble and owed so much money, yet people were willing to come and see her after hearing about it. Aunt Dong felt that such a person was easy to get along with, so she took this visit very seriously. She caught the chickens and ducks last night, and slaughtered them this morning, waiting for half past ten to arrive.
Besides, Zhou's mother was so dedicated to introducing her son to a date, so how could she possibly ask Zhou's mother to spend both money and effort?
Aunt Dong hurried home to get the chickens and ducks.
Zhou's mother still had to kill chickens and geese.
Xu Ling brought back a chicken and a goose. It would not be appropriate to give back the whole thing as a gift, but it would not be appropriate to accept both of them either, so she had to give back half of them.
After a New Year, Jiang Xia also learned about the local customs.
If someone brings a chicken, you have to give back half or a quarter of a chicken.
It depends on whether the other person is having dinner at your house. If he is eating at your house, then you should return a quarter of the meal. If he is not eating at your house, then you should return half of the meal. This is called give and take.
So Zhou's mother and second cousin's wife killed chickens and geese together.
Jiangxia washes vegetables.
When no one else was around, the second cousin's wife asked, "Isn't Yuzhen working in your mother's garment factory now?"
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes! Is Yuzhen used to doing this? Is it hard?"
Second cousin's wife: "She's used to it. Why not? It's not hard at all! She likes that job so much! And she's dating someone in the city. I heard his family is very rich. Yuzhen came home last week with new clothes, a new watch, and a new necklace. She said they were all given by her boyfriend."
Having said this, my second cousin’s wife seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She always felt that the man was a liar, because her sister-in-law wanted to catch this rich son-in-law, so she asked Yuzhen to talk to the other party and have the parents of both sides meet, but the other party repeatedly refused.
If you really like someone that much, wouldn't you be willing to give him/her so many valuable things and want to marry him/her right away?
She was worried that it was a sex scam and she was just playing around.
But when she saw her sister-in-law and Yuzhen were so happy, she didn't dare to say anything, for fear that she would feel she was wrong.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Jiang Xia asked, "What's her boyfriend's name? Let me see if I recognize him."
"I heard Yuzhen call him Acheng Acheng, but I don't know which city it is. Xiaoxia, do you know him? Is the man named Acheng reliable?"
Jiang Xia is from the city. If she knows him, she should know whether the man is reliable or not! Jiang Xia really doesn't know him, so she can only say, "There are many people named Acheng. I'll keep an eye out for who he is."
The second cousin's wife breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll trouble you. This woman's marriage is a second reincarnation. It's better to find out more clearly."
Zhou's mother agreed: "Yes! It's better to find out clearly."
Jiang Xia also felt that she should go back to the city to find out more.
Now Ye Xian, Wang Yang's sister Wang Mei, and another classmate have already been imprisoned. Then who is still in contact with Lei Yuzhen?
Moreover, purchasing work is a job that is relatively easy to earn extra money.
She had to ask if there was a person called "Acheng".
At this time, Aunt Dong came over with a large basin of chicken, duck and meat, as well as a basket of vegetables.
They didn't bring up the subject again.
Zhou's mother said, "Why did you bring so many dishes? I have some here too."
Aunt Dong smiled and said, "Eat more if you have any. You can also try the vegetables I grow."
An hour later, Zhou Guodong and Xu Ling also came back together, but they didn't pick up any conchs.
But the two of them were obviously more familiar with each other.
They both helped with cooking.
Aunt Dong watched Xu Ling working. She was very neat and efficient. Her hands looked like she was used to doing farm work. It was obvious that she was a hardworking person. She was quite satisfied with her.
The second cousin's wife also secretly looked at Zhou Guodong and saw that he was very skillful in chopping meat and washed his hands thoroughly before working, which showed that he was a clean and diligent person.
My second cousin’s wife was also very satisfied.
When Jiang Xia saw Zhou Guodong helping Xu Ling pick up a piece of dish that she wanted to eat but was too far away while eating, he knew that there was something going on between the two of them.
