Chapter 655: Happy
It was already evening when Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei returned to the village.
When Zhou's father knew they were coming back, he went out to sea himself in the afternoon to catch some fresh fish, shrimps and crabs.
Because he bought the garment factory, Zhou's father felt that he had to prepare two tables and invite relatives and friends to have a meal to celebrate.
Jiang Xia carried his brother in and saw He Xinghuan, Tian Caihua, Zhou's mother, great-grandmother, Xu Ling, and second aunt's wife busy in the kitchen.
She greeted everyone with a smile.
Zhou's mother was cooking pickled fish. Zhou's father went out to sea today and caught a grouper weighing 1.7 jin. Later, he returned to the dock and caught another grouper weighing 1.5 jin.
Zhou's mother knew that Jiang Xia loved to eat pickled fish, so she made pickled fish with the two groupers.
She smiled and responded, "Your dad said you guys would be back around this time."
Tian Caihua smiled and said, "The time is just right. We can eat right away. We are still short of one dish."
The Guangzongyaozu brothers, Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Ying shouted excitedly: "Aunt, Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, you are back!"
Great grandmother had just washed the dishes and saw them coming in with three children. She quickly put the dishes on the table, wiped her hands on her apron, and smiled as she reached out to Jiang Xia: "Oh, you're finally back! Great grandmother, give me a hug."
Zhou's father was opening a glass of wine in the house. When he heard the noise, he hurried out and took the child from his father-in-law's arms.
After Zhou's father took the child, he had to identify it carefully. He had to look at the three children before he could recognize which one it was. After all, children's appearances change quickly. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for more than 20 days. Our baby has grown taller and stronger! Our baby is amazing! Does he still recognize his grandfather?"
"Ah ah..." The younger brother didn't know what grandpa said, but he knew how to respond using the few limited pronounced words he knew.
"Oh, you still recognize grandpa, right? Yes, I am grandpa..."
Zhou Wenguang came to his second aunt and said, "Second aunt, is this the baby? Let me hold him."
Having not seen him for a while, Zhou Wenguang couldn't recognize him.
The second aunt handed her the younger sister and said, "This is Xiaobao, be careful."
Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chengsen were moving stools in the house, preparing to eat. At this time, they came out and said with a smile, "Grandpa, grandma, second aunt, come in and sit down."
Father Zhou happily held his younger brother and called his father-in-law and mother-in-law into the house.
Jiang Xia went outside to help Zhou Chenglei with his luggage, and Zhou Chengsen and Zhou Chengxin also went out to help.
Because there were three children, there was a lot of luggage, and all three seats in the back were filled. Jiang Xia also bought some souvenirs in Suicheng and brought them home to distribute to the employees of the food workshop and his grandmother.
He also bought gifts for several children, which were some new toys, and Jiang Xia took them out and shared them with them.
Zhou Wenguang, Zhou Wenzon and Zhou Wenyao have the latest game consoles and roller skates.
My previous skates no longer fit.
Zhou Wenzu and Zhou Jie were bought toy cars and game consoles when they were young.
Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying are dolls, stuffed animals and game consoles.
This time, each person will receive a latest model of gaming console.
The brothers and sisters immediately wanted to run out with their game consoles to play (and show off) with their friends in the village.
But he was stopped by Tian Caihua.
After dinner in the evening, Xu Ling helped to clean up the dishes. Zhou's mother hurriedly said, "No need, I'll do it. The floor is slippery, you just sit down. Go hug Dabao and the other three, and share in their good fortune!"
Jiang Xia glanced at Xu Ling's abdomen and asked with a smile: "What is this..."
She didn't ask.
Xu Ling nodded and held up a finger, indicating that she had been pregnant for just over a month.
Jiang Xia smiled: "Congratulations!"
She and Zhou Guodong got married in September. Jiang Xia was in Beijing at the time and had just started school. She had not returned, but she had sent a gift in advance before she left, and asked Zhou's mother to help send another one on the wedding day.
Xu Ling smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you."
Grandma hurriedly said, "Come, come and hug Dabao!"
The second aunt smiled and said, "Hold the little one first, then the big one."
Now if the first child is a son, you can only have one child, but if it is a daughter, you can have one more.
Neither of their families had ever had twins, so it was impossible for them to have twins like Jiangxia did.
The second aunt-in-law hoped that Xu Ling would have a daughter as her first child and a son as her second child.
Of course, she also knows that she can't have whatever child she wants, but people always have ideas and expectations, and hope that their ideas can come true.
If Xu Ling gave birth to a son as her first child, she would certainly be happy, because no one doesn't like a grandson.
When you have money, you can hide away and have another child.
They live by the sea and like to have many children.
Every household has many children, except those who eat government food.
Jiang Xia asked, "Do you want to adjust your job at the food processing workshop?"
Xu Ling said hurriedly: "It's okay, I can do it! No need to adjust. People still go to work while pregnant! I don't feel tired at all doing this kind of work."
With such a high salary, she couldn't bear to give up the job.
She and Guodong still need to build a house. Now it is too crowded and inconvenient for the whole family to live together.
Their wedding room was vacated by Zhou Guodong's nephews who moved in to sleep with their grandparents.
It was a room that was built. The walls were not even built to the top before. They were raised higher for their wedding.
Every time she did that, she was afraid of being heard.
Besides, this job isn’t tiring for her, she’s used to it.
Jiang Xia had seen women in the village working in the fields with big bellies, and had also seen her carrying a load of water to water the vegetables, so she said, "Then you should do something easier, and don't move the goods."
"I know. My mother-in-law, Sister Huan and Aunt Fen also don't let me move the goods. They only let me light the fire and wash things."
Jiang Xia felt relieved after hearing this. With his second aunt watching over him, there was nothing to worry about.
However, she still decided to talk to He Xinghuan, Aunt Fen and others tomorrow and ask others to help share Xu Ling's work and give them more bonuses at the end of the year.
The next morning, Jiang Xia went to the old house and told them about the incident. He added, "Thank you for your hard work over the past few months. I will give you a bigger bonus at the end of the year."
Xu Ling smiled and said, "Everyone has taken good care of me during this period. I will share my bonus with everyone at the end of the year!"
Everyone hurriedly said, "No, no, it's not like you don't work. Everyone has inconveniences. Besides, you've done less work, and your mother-in-law has done your share."
The operation of the food workshop was already very mature. Even when she was not there, the kitchen was very clean. Everyone worked in an orderly manner. Jiang Xia took a look and drove to the city.
Zhou Chenglei drove to the factory early in the morning to check on the progress of the factory.
The two men acted separately.
Jiang Xia went to the city to discuss the garment factory's affairs with the factory director and hold a meeting.
Jiang Xia appointed a deputy factory director to manage the affairs of the garment factory in her absence.
There is no change for Jiang Xia in other positions, and it is not advisable to change them for the time being.
The original factory director had a job transfer. After the garment factory was contracted out, his work here was completed and he will report to the new department next month.
However, the factory manager is also approaching retirement age, and he will be able to retire at the end of the year. He smiled and said, "When I retire, I will come here to work as a security guard."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "You are always welcome to come back. You don't have to be the doorman. You can continue to be the factory director."
The position of factory director was vacant, and everyone thought Jiang Xia was the factory director. However, Jiang Xia planned to wait until the original factory director retired before inviting him to manage the factory.
