Chapter 67 This Feels Like a Queen (3000 words)

Jiang Xia saw Zhou's father and quickly took out the popsicle from his mouth, "Dad."

After hearing this, Zhou Chenglei turned his head and called out "Dad", then continued to massage her calves.

Jiang Xia retracted his feet, his face felt a little hot: "It's not numb anymore."

Zhou Chenglei kneaded for a while before standing up.

Just as Zhou's mother finished cooking, she saw the three of them all returned to the door of the house. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you're all back! I just finished cooking, hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

Father Zhou: “I’m full.”

Zhou's mother looked at him in surprise: "Are you full? What did you eat?"

"Sacrifice."

Isn't it that he eats the sacrifices for his tablet? Zhou's mother: "..."

What the hell is a sacrifice?

Mother Zhou's eyes widened as she thought of something: "Old man, you didn't steal the offerings in the ancestral hall, did you?"

On the way to the dock, you will pass by the ancestral temple. People going out to sea often go into the temple to worship and pray for smooth sailing.

"Am I that stupid?" Father Zhou rolled his eyes at her and carried the bucket of fish into the house.

As a father, of course the offerings he enjoyed were those offered by his son. Anyway, the old woman would have eaten them sooner or later, and she would understand when the time came.

Zhou's mother just thought he was inexplicable.

Jiang Xia handed Zhou's mother a popsicle: "Mom, I bought this for you."

Mother Zhou ignored Father Zhou and waved her hands, saying with a smile, "I won't eat it. I can't stand it. My stomach will hurt. You young people like it. Give it to Zhou Zhou!"

"There are two. Do you want some, Dad?"

Father Zhou doesn’t like to eat: “No.”

Mother Zhou shouted, "Zhou Zhou, come out quickly. Your aunt bought you a popsicle and will also give one to your grandfather."

The grandfather is Zhou Jie, the grandson of my great grandmother.

Zhou Zhou was writing in the room. Ever since Jiang Xia bought her a new desk, she had been writing on it whenever she had free time. She ran out when she heard the noise.

Jiang Xia gave her the popsicle: "One for you and Grandpa Zhou Jie."

Zhou Zhou took the popsicle and said with a smile, "Thank you, auntie."

Then he ran to the next door to find Zhou Jie.

Jiang Xia then said to Zhou's mother and father, "Mom, Dad, A Lei and I bought you a set of clothes. Try them on after dinner to see if they fit you."

Zhou Chenglei pushed his bicycle into the yard and heard Jiang Xia call him A Lei. He looked at her again with his eyebrows slightly raised.

Mother Zhou was surprised that her daughter-in-law thought of her after going to the city, but she also felt sorry for the money. She smiled and said, "We already have clothes to wear, why buy us clothes? You don't have to buy us clothes next time. You don't have a new house or children yet, so you will have more places to spend money in the future. Keep it for yourself. Your father and I are old and don't have many clothes to wear."

"Don't waste it. Money is earned to be spent. A Lei said that you have worked hard during this period. He saw that your clothes are old, so he went to the mall to buy them." Jiang Xia wanted to take off the red, white and blue bag on the bicycle.

Seeing this, Zhou Chenglei took it down directly. It was a bit heavy so he didn't let Jiang Xia carry it. He handed it to Zhou's mother: "Mom, the clothes are in there. Take them in and look for them. Jiang Xia bought them. I can't think of these."

Zhou's mother had no idea that her son was treating her like a laborer. After hearing what the two said, she felt even happier. No matter whether it was her son or daughter-in-law who thought of buying it, she was happy that her children were thinking about it. She happily took it and carried it into the house.

The corners of Zhou's father's mouth twitched and he looked up at the sky in silence.

The old woman was so stupid that she didn't know she was being treated as a laborer just for enjoying her son's sacrifice! Zhou Chenglei parked his bike.

Jiang Xia touched the dried fish hanging in the yard.

When Zhou's mother saw it, she said, "Your father and I took some to your eldest brother's rooftop to dry in the sun this morning. We haven't brought them back yet, but they are already about 80% dry. We can just dry them in the sun for another day tomorrow."

"Do you still need to take it over there? It will be too much trouble for you and Dad."

"What's the trouble? Your dad is bored and doesn't go out to sea." After saying this, Zhou's mother took the red, white and blue bag into the house and tactfully did not open it.

Jiang Xia washed his hands and came in to open the box. He took out the milk powder and other things inside, and took out the clothes and two pairs of shoes he bought for Zhou's father and mother and gave them to them: "Mom and Dad, I bought you a set of clothes. Try them on to see if they fit you well?"

When Zhou's mother saw the design, she liked it. She wiped her hands vigorously on the apron before accepting it: "Oh, this is too expensive, right? Just buy some homespun cloth. This Dacron is too expensive."

"Mom and Dad, please try them on to see if they fit. If not, I'll go to the city to change them for you in a couple of days." Jiang Xia took out Zhou Zhou's schoolbag, clothes, and shoes and put them in her room.

Mother Zhou said happily: "I'll go try it now."

Zhou's mother asked Zhou's father to try it quickly.

Father Zhou took a look at the shirt and trousers and said calmly, "Why rush? Let's eat first."

Mother Zhou came back to her senses and said, "Yes, let's eat first."

Dinner consisted of mixed fish pot, fried squid with chili peppers, and steamed omelette with shrimps.

Last time, they picked out the smallest shrimps from the dried shrimps and kept them for their family. Last time, Zhou's mother heard Jiang Xia say that she would make steamed eggs with shrimps next time, so she made it for her today.

It was the first time Zhou's mother made it. The steamed egg was overcooked, with many pores, and it was a bit black, not golden yellow.

She smiled and gave Jiang Xia a big spoonful.

Jiang Xia thanked him with a smile and started eating with satisfaction.

There is nothing more satisfying than having food to eat as soon as you get home.

After dinner, Zhou's father quickly took a shower, changed into new clothes and new shoes, and went out.

After Zhou Chenglei cleaned up the dishes, Zhou's mother went back to her room, changed into new clothes, and went out as well.

Jiang Xia bought three sets of clothes for Zhou Zhou and asked him to try them on. They all fit him well. She was braiding Zhou Zhou's hair and asked curiously, "Where are mom and dad going so late?"

Zhou Chenglei: "There is a big tree garden in the village, where many people go to enjoy the cool air after dinner."

Zhou Zhou also said: "Uncle Qiang's house is nearby."

Jiang Xia understood, so the two elders went to show off! How cute!

It’s dark now, will it affect the effect of showing off?

It was indeed dark now, about eight o'clock. Wen Wan had an argument with the people in the car and was forced to get off the car halfway. She ran back to the village, and her feet were covered with blisters.

She hadn't eaten all day, and she was hot, tired, hungry, thirsty, and her feet and face hurt! When she got home, there was no food left for her, and everyone in the family had gone to bed.

Wen Wan's eyes were red. She drank a large bowl of water, then took two sweet potatoes, peeled them and ate them raw.

She must put an end to such days as soon as possible! Wen Wan returned to her room and took out a mirror to look at herself. She found that the wound on her forehead was just a shallow scratch with a little blood. It should not leave a scar after it heals, but the left side of her face is swollen and looks very ugly now.

She thought of Jiang Xia sticking his head out and not reminding her when he saw her, and she felt a little angry.

She took out the letter Jiang Xia wrote to Wu Qizhi and locked it in the drawer. She would find a chance to send it to Zhou's house tomorrow so that Zhou's mother and Zhou Chenglei could see her true face.

Wen Wan took out the foreign language book while eating sweet potatoes. It was a children's fairy tale. In her previous life, she went to night school and got a bachelor's degree. She found a job in a foreign company. In order to get a promotion and a raise, she worked hard on English.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Moreover, she had read the Chinese version of this fairy tale book in her previous life. A children's book was not a problem for her.

Wen Wan was about to translate, but then she thought of the intimacy between Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia.

She put the foreign language book aside, took out Jiang Xia's letter, and then took out an old exercise book and began to practice calligraphy according to the handwriting in the letter.

She is very good at imitating other people's handwriting and can make it look very real.

The longer the night, the more trouble it may cause. Since the two have agreed to divorce, let them divorce as soon as possible!

* Zhou Chenglei washed the dishes and poured water for Zhou Zhou to take a shower. He asked Jiang Xia, "Are you going to wash your hair today?"

"Wash." There was so much dust on the road that she felt like she was covered in dust.

Zhou Chenglei asked, "Shall I wash it for you?"

Jiang Xia did not refuse this time: "Okay!"

Zhou Chenglei excitedly moved the recliner and poured hot water.

On a midsummer night, Jiang Xia lay on a recliner, listening to the cicadas chirping and admiring the moon in the sky.

Zhou Chenglei sat in front of her, gently massaging her head while washing her hair.

After Zhou Zhou came out of the shower, he saw Jiang Xia moving his feet from time to time. Fearing that mosquitoes would bite him, he ran back to the house and took out a large sunflower fan to drive away the mosquitoes and fan Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "No need, Zhou Zhou, just fan yourself."

Zhou Zhou: "I did fan myself."

Her young aunt was so good to her. She bought her a new desk, a new schoolbag, new clothes, new shoes, and even bought her milk powder. She wanted to do something for Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia ignored her, but she suddenly felt like a queen and couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Chenglei: "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Xia: "I just feel like a queen now."

Zhou Chenglei's eyes were filled with smiles: "I will wash your hair whenever I have time in the future, and let you be the queen for life."

"Okay! You said it yourself, keep your word!"

"Yeah." Say it and do it.

After washing her hair, Jiang Xia went to take a shower.

It was already past eight o'clock, and Zhou's father and mother came back smiling, and Zhou Zhou went back to his room to sleep.

Jiang Xia came out of the shower and returned to the room. Zhou Chenglei handed her an iron box and said, "Keep this for future use."

Jiang Xia knew that this iron box was where Zhou Chenglei usually kept his money.

She looked at him with a smile: "How much money do you have? Do you have any hidden money?"

Zhou Chenglei said honestly: "More than 5,000 yuan, and I still have 10 yuan in my pocket."

Jiang Xia joked: "Is ten yuan too much? Men tend to become bad when they have money."

Zhou Chenglei took out ten yuan, opened the box and put them in.

Jiang Xia held his hand and said, "You're just kidding. You usually sell fish, so how can you not have money?"

Zhou Chenglei took her hand and held it in his palm: "It's okay, I'm selling fish, not buying fish. Don't carry more than one dollar on you from now on. You can take all the money. I'll ask you for more when I need it."

Jiang Xia looked at him seriously and said, "I'm really kidding. It doesn't matter how much money you have on you."

Zhou Chenglei also looked at her, raised his hand and pushed the strands of hair on her forehead behind her ears, "I know, but I'm not kidding. You're my wife, isn't it natural for me to give you control of my money?"

Zhou Chenglei's voice was very pleasant, like the plucking of a guitar string, magnetic and charming, and coupled with the way he looked at her, the atmosphere somehow became ambiguous.

Jiang Xia met his burning gaze, and her heartbeat quickened. She subconsciously turned her head away and looked elsewhere: "You like it."

Zhou Chenglei had a smile on his face. He pulled her into his arms, hugged her, held her face with his hands, and asked her to look at him.

Their eyes met and Jiang Xia's heart began to pound.

He suddenly bent down, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
