Chapter 91 Today is another fruitful day

Zhou Chenglei swam upwards from the bottom of the water and saw a familiar figure falling into the water.

He was startled and swam over quickly, grabbed Jiang Xia's waist and lifted him out of the water.

The water is not deep at this location, and Zhou Chenglei's feet can step on the sand underneath.

Jiang Xia was lifted up before she even started swimming! When they emerged from the water, Zhou Chenglei held her and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Xia wiped the water off his face and said, "Why didn't you answer? I called you for a long time! It's very scary, don't you know?"

She almost thought something had happened to him.

Zhou Chenglei saw the worry and fear in Jiang Xia's eyes. Seeing that she was worried about herself, a warm feeling passed through his heart: "I can't hear anything underwater. I'll be fine. Don't jump into the sea casually next time. It's very dangerous."

He was even more frightened when he saw her fall into the water.

"I can swim, I'm not afraid."

Zhou Chenglei pinched her waist: "That won't work either!"

Jiang Xia now had a rather intimate posture with him!

Jiang Xia was being held in his arms at this moment, and her clothes were floating in the water. His hands were directly holding her waist.

She pressed almost her entire body against his, and he was shirtless.

Her hands were also resting on his broad and strong shoulders.

Jiang Xia glanced at the boat in the distance, and his face turned red because he was afraid of being seen by Zhou's father. "Let me go, I really can swim. And I want to take a look under the water, I haven't seen the bottom of the sea yet."

How could Zhou Chenglei agree to this? It was so dangerous: "Nothing to see."

Jiang Xia put her arms around his neck and looked at him.

Zhou Chenglei: “…”

He turned his head away and said, "No, go ashore first. I'll buy you some diving equipment later and take you down. It's too dangerous to go down like this now."

"Can that thing be bought?" Jiang Xia was a little surprised when he heard it.

In this era, diving equipment can only be found abroad, right? She was not sure.

Zhou Chenglei: "Let's find someone to try."

Jiang Xia didn't insist: "Okay, let's go ashore."

So the two swam back to the shore.

Zhou Chenglei grabbed her waist and lifted her up easily. "Go up, be careful."

Jiang Xia climbed up quickly.

Zhou Chenglei made sure she climbed up before letting go of her hand.

When she sat down, he climbed up after her.

Jiang Xia sat down and wrung the water out of his clothes.

Fortunately, she was wearing a sailor shirt and army green pants, which would not penetrate even if they got wet.

There was a spare set of clothes on the boat, but Zhou's father had not returned yet.

Seeing her wringing the water out of her clothes, Zhou Chenglei said, "Don't move around here."

Jiang Xia nodded.

After Zhou Chenglei walked away, Jiang Xia took a look at the contents of the bucket and the snakeskin bag.

There were pearl shells in the snakeskin bag, half a bag.

There was a grouper and a big lobster in the bucket, which he must have caught just now.

The pearl oysters in the bag all look quite old, at least their shells look very weathered, I hope they can produce pearls.

Zhou Chenglei walked back to his original position, took the shirt he had taken off earlier, walked back to Jiang Xia, and handed the shirt to her: "Put it on first, don't catch a cold. When dad comes back later, you can go on the boat and change back into your own clothes."

Jiang Xia glanced around and said, "Is it not good?"

"No one can see it. The boat is far away, and there are rocks in the way."

Jiang Xia thought so and said, "Then you should move away."

Zhou Chenglei glanced at her, his eyes clearly saying, it's not like I haven't seen this before.

Jiang Xia glared at him: "Are you going or not?"

Zhou Chenglei was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable wearing wet clothes, and she was too weak and had a fever after being caught in the rain that night, so he walked away and left her some space.

Jiang Xia looked at the shirt in her hand, then glanced around, but still didn't dare to take off her clothes. She put on Zhou Chenglei's shirt first, and then took off the sailor shirt underneath.

Zhou Chenglei's shirt was several sizes too big for her, and the sailor shirt was a knitted sweater with some elasticity, making it easy to take off.

His scent was all over the shirt, a bit refreshing.

Jiang Xia thought: He is a clean person. His white shirts are always washed very clean. Even though he is a fisherman, he doesn't usually have an unpleasant fishy smell on his body.

At this time, Zhou Chenglei's voice came from not far away: "Are you done?"

"Okay!" Jiang Xia replied loudly.

Zhou Chenglei then walked back and glanced at her.

She looked even smaller in her own shirt, the sleeves were much longer and she was trying to roll them up, a little awkwardly because the other one was also too long.

Zhou Chenglei walked over, squatted down and helped her hold it.

Jiang Xia simply stretched out his hand and asked him to help him roll up his sleeves.

In the sunlight, her little arms were as smooth as jade and glowing white.

Whiter than his white shirt! His Adam's apple moved.

No, he had to go soak in the sea water. He helped her roll up her sleeves, but he didn't roll them up too high because he knew she was afraid of the sun. "I'll go in the water and take a look. Don't walk around. I'll be fine."

Jiang Xia nodded: "I'll continue to pry some oysters."

Zhou Chenglei wanted to say no, but he was afraid that she would just sit there and wait for too long and then start wandering around, so he said, "Be careful, don't fall."

"No, I'm not that stupid."

Zhou Chenglei did not comment on this. She always made people worry, so he gave her another reminder before going into the water.

Zhou Chenglei went down twice more. The first time he picked up two pearl oysters, and the second time he picked up a large conch.

Seeing that he was a little tired, Jiang Xia said, "Don't go into the water again."

Zhou Chenglei nodded: "No more. Just pry open some more oysters."

So the couple started prying oysters together. When Zhou's father came back with the net, they had already pried four snakeskin bags of oysters.

Zhou Chenglei pried open three bags by himself.

Jiang Xia only pried open one bag, which was not even as full as his.

After Zhou's father's boat docked, Zhou Chenglei handed the things to his father one by one.

At first, Zhou's father thought that Zhou Chenglei had picked up several generations of pearl oysters, and was so excited that he almost jumped into the sea to swim two laps. As a result, only the smallest half bag contained pearl oysters, and the rest were oysters.

Well, I was lucky to get half a bag.

He had just dragged the net and caught a bunch of miscellaneous fish, just like usual, and could only sell them for seven or eight dollars.

He felt even more that his youngest son and daughter-in-law were a loving couple on the boat, and it would be good luck for him to be a memorial tablet!

After transferring all the things on board, Zhou Chenglei asked Zhou's father to get off the boat first. He picked up Jiang Xia with both hands and lifted her up easily, letting her climb onto the boat and change into dry clothes on the boat. Her pants were still wet, although they were about 70% dry.

The father and son waited until Jiang Xia changed his clothes before getting on the boat.

It's already three o'clock, just in time to drag another net back.

With the last net, we actually encountered a school of fish again.

A school of small yellow croaker! This net contains at least 100 jin, so 50 or 60 yuan will not be lost.

Father Zhou thought of the small bag of miscellaneous fish he had just caught, and began to doubt his life deeply, but he was still happy: "Do you want to go to the city dock?" He could earn an extra ten or eight yuan by selling them in the city.

Zhou Chenglei shook his head: "No, it's a bit late, let's go back to the village!"

Jiang Xia said he wanted to go to bed early tonight.

Father Zhou nodded: "Okay."

It doesn't matter if I make a profit of ten or eight yuan! Today is another day of returning home with a full load, and I am even more proud when I return to the village.

Let Zhou Bingqiang be jealous!
