Chapter 5 The shrimp was far away from her, she couldn't reach it

Jiang Xia didn't know that the original owner didn't want to come out to eat after having a meal with everyone on the first day after her marriage, and Zhou Chenglei always sent food to her room.

Not having the original owner's memory is a problem, but she had experienced a lot in her previous life and had long since trained herself to deal with any situation calmly and with a smile.

Facing everyone's gaze, Jiang Xia smiled and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, sit down and eat." Zhou's father said.

Zhou Chenglei pulled a bamboo chair from the corner and added a seat. Everyone consciously moved around to make more space.

Zhou Chenglei motioned Jiang Xia to sit down first.

Jiang Xia then realized that there was no seat for her. It was probably because the original owner had never eaten with everyone, so no one left a seat for her.

She calmly sat down next to little Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Chenglei sat down next to her and took a look at the pickles and vegetables in front of him.

Zhou Zhou called out timidly, "Auntie."

Jiang Xia smiled and patted her little head: "Zhou Zhou is so good."

Zhou Zhou's body was frozen, not daring to move. She was a little afraid of her aunt as she had seen her slap her uncle in the face.

Seeing that she was scared, Jiang Xia withdrew his hand.

The Zhou family's dining table was a long table made up of two low-legged eight-immortal tables. At the moment, the six people from the eldest branch of the family, Zhou's father and mother, the orphan Zhou Zhou from the third branch, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei, a total of eleven people, just enough space to sit down.

Zhou Chenglei's second brother and sister-in-law work in the town. They usually live in the town and don't come back for meals.

Zhou Chenglei has an older sister who is already married, so there are only eleven people eating together.

Jiang Xia took a look at the dishes on the table: flower crabs, shrimps, mixed fish stew, vegetables, pickles and a seaweed egg drop soup.

The Zhou family’s food was indeed as good as described in the book.

The Zhou family lives in a small fishing village, very close to the sea. The Zhou family has a fishing boat. Zhou's father takes Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chenglei out to sea to fish at three or four in the morning every day, so the Zhou family's meals are never short of seafood.

As soon as Zhou's father shouted "Let's eat", the four brothers from the first house reached out their chopsticks to the plate of shrimps and picked up the biggest ones.

The largest shrimps were taken away in an instant, and it felt like half of the whole plate of shrimps was missing.

Tian Caihua cursed and then ignored it. She also grabbed a handful of shrimps, and then gave the largest mud fish in the mixed fish pot to her sons.

If she didn't eat more, would it be a bargain for outsiders? In front of Jiang Xia were green vegetables and pickles, with a large plate of egg drop soup in the middle, making it difficult to pick up other dishes, which showed how unpopular she was.

Jiang Xia picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of vegetable as if nothing had happened.

At this time, a shelled prawn was placed in her bowl.

Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei and smiled: "Thank you."

Zhou Chenglei didn't look at her. He picked up the largest mudfish from the mixed fish pot, picked out the bones, and gave the fish meat to her. "Eat it carefully. I don't know if there are any fish bones."

A fish bone got stuck in her throat during her first meal at Zhou's house. Usually, the fish he brought to her house had the bones removed.

Jiang Xia felt embarrassed and thanked him again, telling him to eat by himself and not to worry about her.

Zhou Chenglei picked up another shrimp, peeled it and put it in Jiang Xia's bowl.

The shrimps were far away from her and she couldn't reach them.

Zhou's mother glanced at her youngest son and sighed. If she had known earlier, she would not have moved the plate of shrimps away, and her son would not have been able to eat a single bite.

Father Zhou ate his meal in silence, as if he knew nothing.

Tian Caihua rolled her eyes secretly. Her son didn't need to pick out the bones when eating fish when he was four years old. He was so delicate and hypocritical! They were about to get divorced, so why was he still so nice to her?

Jiang Xia took a look at the plate of shrimps and found that they were gone.

There is a reason why this little brat has bankrupted me.

The four brothers, who brought honor to their family, ate the meal as if they were snatching it away. They didn't even peel the shells when eating the shrimps and they finished the whole plate of shrimps in no time.

Seeing that Zhou Zhou beside her didn't pick up the shrimp, Jiang Xia put the shrimp into Zhou Zhou's bowl.

Zhou Zhou seemed a little surprised. He turned his head to look at Jiang Xia and whispered, "Thank you, auntie."

Jiang Xia smiled and gave half of the fish to little Zhou Zhou beside him.

Zhou Zhou said timidly again, "Thank you, little auntie. You can eat by yourself, don't worry about me. Zhou Zhou will spit out the bones when eating fish, so he is not afraid of them."

She didn't understand why her aunt was so gentle today, it was a bit scary.

Zhou's mother also peeled a shrimp for Zhou Zhou and picked up a mud fish. The fish had few bones and tasted good, so Zhou Zhou loved it.

She said to Jiang Xia, "Xiao Xia, just eat it by yourself. Zhou Zhou can eat fish by herself, so don't worry about her."

Today, the daughter-in-law seemed a little normal, with a smile on her face, not as if the whole world owed her money.

Too bad she's not normal most of the time.

You can’t keep it! Jiang Xia said okay and started eating.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

I have to say that this wild seafood is really delicious.

The shrimp meat is chewy and sweet.

The mud fish has firm meat and delicious taste.

The flower crab is also very fresh and sweet.

It can be seen that these seafoods are simply steamed or boiled with a little salt, but they are all very delicious.

The other dishes were quickly eaten by Zhou Hai and his brothers. No one wanted to eat flower crabs, as they thought it was too troublesome and had no meat. However, Jiang Xia particularly loved crabs.

Zhou Chenglei saw that she liked it, so he peeled it for her.

Seeing Zhou Chenglei peeling shrimps and crabs for Jiang Xia, Tian Caihua couldn't help but say to Zhou Chengxin, "Look how much Fourth Brother loves his wife. I've been married to you for so many years, but I've never seen you peel crabs and shrimps for me."

Zhou Chengxin said unhappily, "Didn't you say that flower crabs are worthless and have no meat, so you don't like to eat them? People in the village would throw away the crabs if they found them, only Zhou Zhou likes to eat them."

She eats shrimps with the shells, saying that peeling them is a waste of time and she will eat fewer shrimps, so her son is like her!

Zhou Zhou: “.”

She loves to eat it because she can’t compete with her brothers for other dishes, but her brothers don’t fight for the flower crab because it’s too troublesome.

Tian Caihua: “.”

Marry a blockhead! I get angry just by looking at him! Zhou Chengxin was also full and walked away.

Jiang Xia was a little surprised that flower crabs were not valuable. In modern times, this thing is more expensive than some fish.

Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything, but silently picked out the meat from the remaining crabs and gave it to Jiang Xia and his niece.

So much so that even after everyone had finished eating and left the table, Zhou Chenglei was still there peeling crabs for her and Zhou Zhou.

Zhou's father and mother went out after eating.

Seeing Jiang Xia eating with gusto, Tian Caihua also ate a crab, but she was too impatient. She ate shrimps with their shells. She stood up and took the opportunity to say, "Fourth sister-in-law, you eat the slowest. Wash the dishes after you finish eating!"

Since she can get out of bed to eat, why shouldn't she do housework? "Okay." Jiang Xia didn't care. The meal was cooked by someone else, so it was normal for her to wash the dishes.

Tian Caihua saw that she understood what was going on, so she couldn't help but push it further and assigned Jiang Xia a task: "Dad and his friends will go out to sea at around 4 a.m. tomorrow. Remember to get up at 3 a.m. and prepare breakfast and the lunch they are going to bring. I'll be doing it every day these days."

We are all daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, so we have to divide the work and cooperate in housework.

Why should Jiang Xia not have to do anything while he works himself to death taking care of the whole family and also has to serve her?
