After finishing the work, Zhou Chenglei drove the boat to take Mr. Mai back to the city dock. Jiang Dong was already waiting there.
Zhou Chenglei said to Jiang Dong, "Go back and tell your parents that there is no need to prepare seafood for tomorrow. I have already prepared it and will bring it over when the time comes. Just come here to pick us up at ten o'clock tomorrow."
"good."
Mr. Mai warned them: "Be careful when you go back and call me when you get home."
"Okay. It's cold, Grandpa, get in the car."
Mr. Mai didn't want to delay his granddaughter's return home, so he waved his hand, got into the car with the help of Jiang Dong and left.
Jiang Xia and his friends didn't return home until after nine o'clock in the evening.
The triplets had fallen asleep after eating.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei wanted to carry them upstairs, but Zhou's mother said, "Don't carry them. It's cold. You'll catch a cold if you carry them around. Your dad and I will take care of them tonight. They don't wake up in the middle of the night now, so we don't need to feed them. The next day, I'll wake up when they wake up, so it won't affect your dad and I from sleeping."
The triplets are the grandchildren she takes care of the least.
The Guangzongyaozu brothers, Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying, each of whom was slept with by their father and mother for five or six years.
Father Zhou also said, "Don't hold him. Let him sleep in our room tonight. The quilt is warm now. You can carry him upstairs and change the quilt. The quilt is cold and the child will be cold. It's New Year's Day. Don't let the child catch a cold!"
Zhou Chenglei immediately said: "Then don't hold them, let them sleep!"
Jiang Xia responded, also worried that they would catch a cold.
Now we have changed the feeding method. The child eats rice porridge mixed with milk at night. After eating, he goes to the toilet and then goes back to sleep. He basically does not wake up.
As a result, because the children were not around that night, someone didn't have to restrain himself and was just unrestrained.
Then on the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhou Chenglei got up early again to wash the sheets, and Jiang Xia slept until eight o'clock.
She could barely bend her knees as she walked down the stairs.
Zhou Chenglei was feeding her child breakfast and wanted to go up and help her when he saw her.
Jiang Xia stopped him with a sharp look.
She tried to walk downstairs as if nothing had happened.
"Mom, mua..."
"Mom, mom."
"Mom, mm"
When the three children saw their mother, they happily shouted "Mom" and waved the toys in their hands excitedly.
"Little aunt." Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying also called out happily.
Jiang Xia came up to everyone and touched Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying's heads: "Auntie will help you comb your hair beautifully later."
"Okay! Wait until I put on my new dress before combing my hair!" Then Zhou Ying pulled Zhou Zhou upstairs to change clothes.
Jiang Xia came to the three babies who were looking at her happily and kissed them one by one: "So cute."
After breakfast today, the family will go to the city to have a reunion dinner with Jiang’s father and mother.
Jiang Xia asked: "Where are my parents?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Dad went out to sea to pry some oysters and collect some mussels, and Mom went to the vegetable garden"
During the Chinese New Year, there are not many vegetables for sale in the city, so people in the city usually buy vegetables for a few days.
There were many vegetables planted in the family’s vegetable garden, and Zhou’s mother would pick some and take them to the city.
In fact, vegetables are grown on the rooftops of houses in the city. Jiang's father goes to take care of the small vegetable garden on the roof every day, so there is no shortage of vegetables to eat.
They even couldn't finish eating them, so they often picked some and gave them to others. After all, Jiang's father and mother often had dinner parties and didn't eat at home.
"Have they had breakfast?"
"They've eaten. Only you and I are left. They're warming on the stove. You feed the child and I'll carry it."
"No, I'll move it."
Jiang Xia moved breakfast to the dining table, and Zhou Chenglei had finished feeding the triplets rice porridge.
After the couple finished breakfast, Jiang Xia braided Zhou Zhou and his sister's hair into beautiful braids, and Zhou's mother came back carrying two large winnowing baskets of vegetables.
When Jiang Xia saw it, he asked, "Mom, why did you pick so many?"
"It's okay. We'll save some for the New Year's Day."
Zhou's mother took a snakeskin bag, picked out some good quality vegetables and put them in it, and left the bad ones for her family to eat.
Not long after, Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin came back from the sea: "Are you all ready? It's almost time to set off. Don't let my father-in-law and the others wait too long."
Jiang Xia: "Sister-in-law and the others haven't come yet."
Zhou Chengxin: "I'll go call her over. I'll go back and take a shower and change clothes."
After saying that, Tian Caihua brought the children over.
Several mothers and children were holding things in their hands.
Tian Caihua held a chicken coop in each hand. In one coop there was a goose and a duck, and in another coop there was a rooster and a hen.
Zhou Wenguang was holding Moutai liquor, while the other three brothers were holding seafood, pork, and various homemade cakes and snacks.
She smiled and said, "Xia Xia, take these to your in-laws. I've already brought abalone and fish maw, so you don't need to bring any."
She took out all the treasured abalone and fish maw at home. She brought so many things, she must let Jiang Xia know what she brought!
She is a very competent sister-in-law! Tian Caihua took out the best things in the house.
Zhou Chengxin said that Jiang Xia had a broad mind and was good at dealing with people. She always gave her the best and showed the greatest sincerity, so as a woman she was more capable than many men and was able to open a factory at such a young age.
The Marquis was receiving goods at the dock, and many people must have delivered goods to him. Why could he and Jiang Xia cooperate and make the business so big? Besides the fact that the small fish cooked by Jiang Xia were delicious, Jiang Xia must have been generous enough to make the Marquis feel that she was a kind person and could cooperate with him.
Tian Caihua felt that Zhou Chengxin was right! Tian Caihua felt that she could be as magnanimous as Jiang Xia! Isn't it just about being generous with gifts? In order to open a factory in the future, she could also be generous!
So this time when she went to the Jiang family for the New Year's Eve dinner, she showed her utmost sincerity and really took out the best things in the house.
Zhou Chengxin looked at the gifts she had packed and felt that his earnest words last night had not been in vain! Zhou Chengxin realized that now as long as he started with Jiang Xia and hinted to Tian Caihua what to do, Tian Caihua would definitely do it.
She is simply taking Jiang Xia as a role model to learn from! It really makes her less worried than before.
Jiang Xia was shocked when he saw the large and small bags of things that the eldest family had. "No need to bring anything with you. I have prepared everything. Brother, sister-in-law, you just need to go and have a meal. You don't need to bring so many things."
Tian Caihua: "Yes, yes! This is the first reunion dinner since you met your grandfather. It's rare that they don't despise our family and invite us. Moreover, all the food is from our family. It's not expensive, but it's a token of their love."
After Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin changed their clothes, the family set off with bags of gifts.
We don’t have a car, so we took a boat there today and the whole family can fit in.
Zhou Chengsen got off the plane at 9:30, and he had been informed to drive directly to the Jiang family from the airport.
On New Year's Eve, the pier was very busy, with many bicycles parked and crowds of people.
In addition to villagers from several nearby villages, there were also people from the town and even the city.
The seafood in the city is expensive, so people who buy a lot come here to buy it. (End of this chapter)
