Chapter 51 The Consequences of Eating Too Much Watermelon

Jiang Xia looked at him without blinking.

Her eyes were very beautiful, as if there were stars twinkling in them. Zhou Chenglei's palms were a little sweaty: "Jiang Xia, can we not leave each other..."

At this time, Zhou's mother and grandmother rushed in.

"Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia! Where are you? Are you okay?"

"Xiao Xia, are you okay? Xiao Xia!"

Zhou's mother pulled Jiang Xia over and pushed Zhou Chenglei aside. "Are you okay? Did you get hit? Pan Daidi, that scumbag! I won't let her go!"

The grandmother was more perceptive and said cheerfully, "With A-Lei here, everything will be fine!"

Zhou Chenglei: "It's too late for me to come back."

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's okay, they can't beat me."

Mother Zhou felt relieved after checking Jiang Xia up and down and seeing that he was really fine.

Zhou's mother walked out and yelled at the tightly closed gate of the courtyard next door, throwing stones into it: "You are a bunch of crazy chickens, running around the street @￥%%#￥@, are you mad at money? You are bullying my family because there is no one! Come out here! Come and fight with me! You come to my house to ask for pearls? Are the pearls yours? You %*#￥%#, come out! Fight with me! Let's fight! I will beat you to death, you crazy chicken, %&&￥#%@￥%..."

Zhou's mother cursed at the tightly closed door next door in a series of words, and every word was different! She cursed too fast. Zhou's mother was not a local, so she cursed in her hometown dialect. Jiang Xia didn't even hear what she cursed clearly, but she knew that she was cursing in many ways and without choosing her words.

Jiangxia is amazing!

Grandma smiled and said, "Your mother can scold people for half an hour without repeating herself. You should learn from this. If you live in the village, you must quarrel or you will suffer. If someone bullies you, scold him back. Otherwise, people will think you are easy to bully and will do even more next time."

Jiang Xia blinked: "I can't beat him with scolding, can I beat him?"

Great grandmother laughed: "Okay, of course. If someone hits you, hit him back! Don't be polite! It's OK as long as you can't kill him! However, if you can't win, remember to run and ask for help. Don't be stupid and don't know how to run. A hero never suffers a loss in front of him. Run back and ask for help. If you fight with people from our village, then go home. Our whole family will go out. If you fight with people from other villages, you can go home if you can't win. Our whole village will go out..."

Grandma taught Jiang Xia how to fight.

Next door, Pan Daidi was arguing with Zhou's mother in the yard and didn't dare to go out.

Zhou's mother scolded Pan Daidi for a long time, and she was relieved when she stopped talking! Not long after, Zhou's father came back with a few bundles of bamboo. When he came back, he also heard the villagers talking about it. He asked if Jiang Xia was injured, and said a few words of concern. He also reminded: "The family next door is mostly shameless. Next time we go out, remember to close the gate at home and ignore people you don't know."

Jiang Xia responded with a "OK".

Zhou's mother made lunch and didn't let Jiang Xia do it, so Jiang Xia went to wash his hair.

Zhou Chenglei brought out a recliner for her to lie on, and he helped her wash. This time she felt much more comfortable.

After washing his hair and having lunch, Zhou Chenglei pulled an iron cart to buy some bricks, cement and sand, saying that he wanted to build a platform for the hand pump.

Originally, he wanted to go to the next village to buy some tiles to repair the roof of the utility room, but after the typhoon, many people's roofs were blown away, so he didn't buy any and had to wait a few days to get some.

The manhole cover happened to be solid, so we could build a platform to install the water pump on it.

Jiang Xia didn't understand either, but she had seen it in her old house. It was similar to a rectangular concrete pillar. The hand pump would be fixed on it, just at the waist level, so that it wouldn't be too hard to press.

Zhou Chenglei installed a hand pump, and Zhou's father weaved a drying mat.

Jiang Xia and Zhou's mother peeled the shrimps and sorted them by size. The peeled shrimps were sold at a higher price and dried faster.

The family members are all busy with their own things. Zhou Chenglei is unfamiliar with this kind of warmth and harmony, but he likes it very much.

He couldn't help but look up at Jiang Xia who was peeling shrimps.

The setting sun slanted down in the yard. She sat in the shade with her hair braided into two pigtails. Some fine strands of hair fell on her cheeks. She looked gentle and beautiful.

At night, after the family had dinner and taken a bath, Zhou Zhou lay on a lounge chair in the yard and played.

Jiang Xia came out with a plate of watermelon, put it on the eight-immortals table next to the recliner, and called Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and Zhou Chenglei to come and eat the watermelon.

This watermelon was given by Jiang Yang. Fortunately, it was freshly picked and has not gone bad after two days.

Zhou Chenglei was building a grape trellis, and when he hadn't finished, he said, "You guys eat."

Father Zhou took a piece of watermelon and took a bite: "Sweet!"

Zhou's mother also took a piece and said, "It's sandy, so it must be sweet."

Jiang Xia handed a piece of watermelon to Zhou Zhou and asked with a smile: "Is this recliner comfortable?"

"Comfortable! Very comfortable!" Zhou Zhou got up, took the watermelon, put on plastic slippers, and ran to Zhou Chenglei with the watermelon: "Uncle, eat watermelon."

She held the watermelon high and let Zhou Chenglei taste it.

Zhou Chenglei lowered his head, took a bite, and said with a smile: "Sweet!"

Then he took the watermelon: "You go and eat it."

Zhou Chenglei finished the piece of watermelon in just a few bites and put the peel into the泔水桶.

Jiang Xia handed him another piece, but he refused and went to the well to wash his hands.

Father Zhou also finished his meal in a few bites, washed his hands, and went back to his room. He didn't know whether the waves would be big tomorrow and whether he could go out to sea, so he had to go to bed early.

After finishing her meal, Zhou's mother cleared two pieces of watermelon rind from the table and said to Jiang Xia who was still eating, "When you're done, throw the watermelon rind into the swill bucket and save it for feeding the chickens tomorrow. Chickens love to eat it."

As she said this, she threw the watermelon rind into the swill bucket, told Zhou Zhou to go back to bed, and also told Zhou Chenglei not to stay up so late, as she didn't know whether they would have to go out to sea tomorrow.

Zhou Chenglei responded.

After eating the watermelon, Jiang Xia cleaned up the table and prepared to go to the bathroom and go to bed.

Jiang Xia took a flashlight and went to the toilet outside.

There is no bathroom inside the house, but there is a dry toilet outside.

It is a very low dry toilet made of mud bricks, built outside the house, and you have to walk several meters to get out of the house.

She goes to the toilet before going to bed every night. To be honest, she is a little scared, mainly because of snakes, but she is probably more afraid of going to the toilet in the middle of the night.

As a result, Jiang Xia had a dream in the middle of the night. He dreamed that he was looking for a toilet everywhere. When he woke up, he found that he was in a hurry.

It must be because I ate too much watermelon before going to bed.

In the dim light, Jiang Xia felt a little regretful for being greedy last night.

I don’t know if there are snakes in the middle of the night, but I have to go to the toilet even if I’m afraid.

Jiang Xia glanced at the man next to her. She had to crawl over him to get up and go to the bathroom.

But it became more and more urgent, and she couldn't bear it any longer.

She sat up gently, carefully stretched out one foot and placed it beside him, then stretched out a hand and stepped over him.

Zhou Chenglei had just fallen asleep and vaguely sensed the movement of the person next to him, but he didn't pay any attention to it. After all, she always liked to put her hands and feet on him after falling asleep.

But something was wrong. He had always had a shallow sense of smell. He felt her breath on his face. When he opened his eyes, he found that Jiang Xia was indeed riding on him.

Jiang Xia forgot that her knee was injured. She stepped over his body and the moment she knelt down, she felt pain in her wound and fell directly on him.

Zhou Chenglei subconsciously put his arm around her waist to protect her from falling off the bed.

In the dim light, they looked into each other's eyes, unable to see each other clearly.

But he held her in his arms, and she lay on him, their breaths entwined.

Zhou Chenglei's eyes darkened, his arms unconsciously tightened, and he turned over and pressed her under him.
