Chapter 466 Sugared Lotus Seeds and Sugared Lotus Roots
The motorcycle disappeared in the crowd, and Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei continued to move forward.
The days of drifting at sea were hard and boring, so Jiang Xia wanted to buy as many delicious dishes as possible so that everyone could eat better.
A lot of more expensive dried goods such as black fungus, day lily, and shiitake mushrooms were also prepared.
Meat, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, rice, flour, grain and oil must be prepared in sufficient quantities. Zhou's mother said she would go buy these.
We have chickens, ducks and geese at home. We can kill them tomorrow morning and put them in the freezer on the ship.
You only need to buy pork, and if there is beef, buy some. Yang has already notified Wen's father to deliver one to the house before nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
Jiang Xia is responsible for purchasing, and Zhou Chenglei is responsible for picking up the goods.
Zhou Chenglei carried a large snakeskin bag in one hand and put his other arm around Jiang Xia's shoulder, protecting her as he walked through the bustling market where people were coming and going and chicken feathers and goose feathers were flying everywhere.
Not far away, there was a stall selling beef. Zhou's mother should have bought the beef. Zhou Chenglei saw two pairs of cow horns, one of which was quite beautiful, so he bought it.
Jiang Xia asked: "What do you buy it for?"
Zhou Chenglei kept it a secret: "You'll know when the time comes."
Jiang Xia didn't ask any more questions.
At the other end of the market, Zhou Guodong and Xu Ling were also shopping.
Xu Ling saw the candied melon stall and said, "I'll buy some candied lotus seeds and lotus roots for my brother and sister-in-law to eat."
The two men approached the candied melon stall.
The sugar melon stall is filled with bags of sugared winter melon, sugared golden melon, sugared lotus root, sugared lotus seeds, sugared coconut horns and other sugared melons.
Xu Ling pointed at the candied lotus roots and lotus seeds covered with a layer of white sugar icing and said, "I want half a pound of candied lotus roots and lotus seeds."
Although there are many varieties of sugar melons, they are not cheap, so Xu Ling chooses the flavors that her younger brother and sister-in-law like best.
Zhou Guodong paid the stall owner and said, "I'll weigh one pound of candied lotus seeds and candied lotus roots, and I'll also weigh one pound of the rest."
The stall owner took the money and asked, "Are you buying this together or separately?"
Zhou Guodong: “Together.”
Xu Ling said hurriedly, "No need, you buy yours and I'll buy mine."
The stall owner asked again, "Do they need to be packed separately?"
Zhou Guodong: "No need, just put them together."
Xu Ling: "Yes, pack them separately!"
After such a tug-of-war, and seeing both of them looking shy, the stall owner knew at a glance that they were dating, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll pretend to be together."
She then started packing and weighing the candies.
Xu Ling looked at Zhou Guodong: "I can buy it myself."
She didn't have the nerve to ask him to help pay.
Zhou Guodong: “It’s okay.”
Seeing Xu Ling embarrassed, the stall owner smiled and said, "It's better to buy it this way! Buy a pound of sugared lotus root and sugared lotus seeds, which is just right. One pound is ten taels, which is perfect. Half a pound of sugared lotus seeds and half a pound of sugared lotus root are just right. You just came out and came to me to buy sugared lotus root and sugared lotus seeds. It's a good omen! Buy them back and you two will definitely live happily together, have children soon, and live a sweet life!"
Xu Ling's face instantly turned red! Even though her skin was a little dark, it was obvious.
I was so embarrassed that I didn't even realize that the pair of black cloth shoes that I had washed so clean and worn so hard had a hole in them.
She bought candied lotus seeds and candied lotus roots simply because her younger brother and sister loved to eat them.
Zhou Guodong is also a shy person, and his ears felt a little hot after listening to it.
He didn't think too much about it, he just asked her out. She walked here by herself, and he rode a bicycle, so of course he had to take her back later.
Since I had sent her here, I could not not say hello. It was my first time visiting her, so I could not come empty-handed. When I saw her buying candy melons, I took the initiative to pay.
The two took the sugar melons weighed by the stall owner and continued walking forward, then they met Lei Yuzhen and Acheng, who had been riding a motorcycle around the market for half a day.
Lei Yuzhen knew Xu Ling.
During the busy farming season, Xu Ling often came to the Lei family to help her second aunt.
Lei Yuzhen sat on the motorcycle and shouted, "Sister A Ling, do you want to go to the market?"
After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Guodong.
The other person was pushing a bicycle and wearing a half-new white shirt.
To be honest, she is good-looking and tall, over 1.7 meters, right? She is taller than her boyfriend and also prettier than her boyfriend.
But pushing a broken bicycle is not as cool as a motorcycle.
She rode a motorcycle around the market, attracting countless envious glances.
Xu Ling looked over and was stunned for a moment before she recognized Lei Yuzhen. She smiled and said, "Yuzhen."
Lei Yuzhen put her arm around Acheng's shoulders and introduced him, "This is my good sister, and my second aunt's niece, Sister Xu Ling. I grew up with her. Sister A Ling, this is my girlfriend, Acheng."
A Cheng looked Xu Ling up and down. She was average-looking, barely pleasing to the eye, except that her skin was too dark, her frame was too big, her hands were too rough to look at, and she was so poor that her shoes had holes in them.
"Hello." He greeted calmly and looked away, uninterested.
Ah Cheng looked back, looking for Jiangxia's shadow. Jiangxia was still the prettiest! A rare and exquisite sight.
The skin is so tender and delicate that I don’t know what it feels like to take a bite of it, but just thinking about it makes my lower abdomen tighten.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Xu Ling also introduced him to Lei Yuzhen: "This is Zhou Guodong, from my cousin's village."
Lei Yuzhen smiled and said, "Hello."
Zhou Guodong smiled and said, "Hello."
Lei Yuzhen looked at Xu Ling again: "Sister A Ling, you walked here, right? Are you done shopping? I'll ask my boyfriend to take you home. It's on the way anyway."
Xu Ling smiled and said, "No, we haven't finished shopping yet."
Lei Yuzhen didn't force him: "Then let's go! Ah Cheng will come to our house soon, and we have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some malted milk, canned food, cigarettes and alcohol. Goodbye!"
Xu Ling nodded: "Goodbye."
Then she said to Zhou Guodong: "Let's go!"
The two continued walking forward.
The motorcycle was gone too.
A Cheng drove his motorcycle and said to Lei Yuzhen: "What good things are there in the town's supply and marketing cooperative? I brought some good things to my father-in-law and mother-in-law in the city, and I also bought you some clothes. They are all in the hotel. Come with me to the hotel to get them."
Then the motorcycle turned around in front and went back.
Acheng was driving a motorcycle and saw at a glance the woman with smooth skin and beautiful face standing in front of a stall selling pigeons. She was smiling and touching the white pigeon held in the stall owner's hand.
This way her smile becomes even more beautiful, so beautiful that it glows.
At this moment, the pigeon suddenly fluttered, and she subconsciously took a step back and turned her head to avoid it. The man behind her raised his hand to block her face and protected her in his arms.
He looked at her for a few more seconds, then drove his motorcycle straight to the nearest hotel, took the letter of introduction, and moved in with Lei Yuzhen.
Zhou Chenglei bought a whole cage of pigeons and raised them to make soup for Jiangxia at night.
Now Jiangxia eats less and less at each meal.
It’s not that I have a poor appetite, but if I eat a little more, my stomach will feel uncomfortable, so I can only eat two more meals a day.
Moreover, if I sleep in the wrong posture at night, I will feel chest tightness and have difficulty breathing.
He held her in his arms every night and could feel that her breathing was difficult and a little heavy, not as shallow as before.
She used to have no sleeping problems. She slept soundly and could always sleep through the night. But now she often wakes up at night, either because she is hungry or anxious.
I go to the toilet several more times every day than before.
Jiang Xia never said she felt uncomfortable, but Zhou Chenglei could see that she was feeling bad, but he had no way to help her feel better.
Zhou Chenglei had seen these symptoms in medical books. Doctor Gao also said that as the belly gets bigger, it will compress some of the internal organs, and it may become more and more uncomfortable as time goes by.
Tomorrow, after Zhou's father goes out to sea, he decides to take Jiang Xia to the city for a prenatal check-up.
After buying the pigeons, the couple continued walking forward and met Xu Ling and Zhou Guodong.
There were two packages and a piece of meat hanging on Zhou Guodong's bicycle.
Since they met, Jiang Xia told Xu Ling that they would start work the day after Qingming Festival.
