Chapter 94: A loving couple, a child and wealth
Zhou Chenglei grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and pried open the pearl shell.
A white pearl, hidden in the white shellfish flesh, reveals the tip of the iceberg, the pearlescent light is soft and lustrous.
Just from the exposed tip of the iceberg, you can tell that this pearl must be quite large.
Especially look at the big bulging bag of clam meat.
Jiang Xia thought it was a baroque pearl.
Because generally only baroque pearls are this big.
Zhou Chenglei took it out, revealing an egg-shaped, white pearl.
The pearls are lustrous and the luster is unmatched by any pearls opened before.
Flawless at first glance!
And it was very big, almost as big as Jiang Xia's thumb! Jiang Xia couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Chenglei, grabbing the sleeve of his arm, a little excited: "Is there any flaw?"
Zhou Chenglei smelled the fragrance of her hair and felt her excitement. The corners of his mouth curled up. He washed it with salt water in the bowl and took a look. He gave her the pearl and said, "No."
Jiang Xia took it and his eyebrows curved, "It's going to be published!"
Seawater pearls grow naturally and most of them have flaws, just like people. There are very few people who do not have a single mole on their skin.
Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia. She did not have a single mole or blemish on her body. Her skin was delicate, fair and flawless, even softer and more perfect than the pearl, just like the most perfect pearl in the world.
A priceless treasure that belongs only to him.
Zhou Chenglei really wanted to kiss her, but his father and mother were there, so he held back.
The more Jiang Xia looked, the more amazed she became. She smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, looking at Zhou Chenglei, her eyes sparkling with amazement: "You are so lucky! You opened a peerless pearl!"
Zhou Chenglei looked at her glowing face and agreed: "Well, I am indeed lucky."
Otherwise, how could he marry such a rare treasure like her?
When Zhou's mother heard about the peerless pearl, she was excited and couldn't help but said, "Xiao Xia, let me see it!"
Jiang Xia gave it to her.
"This pearl has a very special shape. If it were a little bigger, it would look like a pigeon egg."
Father Zhou laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared: "The bigger it is, the more valuable it is!"
He said that if a couple loves each other, they will have children and get rich sooner or later! Jiang Xia thought of the "Regent Pearl" he saw on the Internet in his previous life. This pearl is very similar to the "Regent Pearl". The shape and color are very similar. Maybe the picture was not taken well enough. Jiang Xia felt that the color of the one they opened was better and the glossiness was higher. He just didn't know which one was bigger.
Mother Zhou: "It's better if pearls are not perfectly round. If the shape of this pearl is not round enough, will it be worthless?"
Jiang Xia said, "Although it is not a perfect round pearl, this shape of pearl is very rare and don't you think it is more beautiful than a perfect round one? The most important thing is that it has a super good luster, is flawless, and has a beautiful shape. This is no longer just a pearl but a jewel. It is not an exaggeration to call it the king of pearls."
She remembered that the "Regent Pearl" was estimated at $500,000 to $800,000, but it was sold for 1.6 million pounds! It was a sky-high price! Father Zhou smiled and said, "Xiao Xia is so lucky, how can it not be valuable? Scarcity makes things valuable! It is definitely very valuable."
This is a pearl that two people opened together, it is definitely valuable!
Do you really think that the truth he derived from this tablet is false?
Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Yes! It is definitely worth money."
Zhou Chenglei: "You'll know when you sell it tomorrow."
Father Zhou: "Yes, after selling the pearls, go to the shipyard to look at ships. Maybe we can buy a bigger ship!"
I should have let my son hold my daughter-in-law's hand and open the door.
It's a big loss! It feels like I lost half the ship! Zhou Chenglei handed the plate of pearls to Jiang Xia: "Put it away first."
"Okay." Jiang Xia took it and took the pearl back to the room and put it away.
Zhou's mother happily packed up her things and dug out the meat of the pearl oysters. She could cook it to feed the pigs or chop it up to feed the ducks.
Father Zhou went to take a shower first.
Zhou Chenglei poured some hot water for Jiang Xia and planned to wash her hair.
Jiang Xia refused: "No, I'll wash it myself, you go take a shower!"
Zhou Chenglei: "Don't worry, let mom and dad wash first, I'll help you wash your hair first."
We agreed that I would help her wash her hair whenever I have time.
Jiang Xia just let him do what he wanted.
After washing their hair, Zhou's father and mother also took a bath. They all took a quick bath, and Jiang Xia was the slowest in the family.
Jiang Xia returned to the room after taking a shower and found another bowl of milk on the table and the mosquito coils were lit.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, picked up the bowl of milk and drank it directly. After that, she took the bowl out, washed it and put it back in the cupboard. She brushed her teeth and went back to the desk, translating while waiting for her hair to dry.
Maybe she went to bed too late last night and got up at four o'clock today. She didn't sleep well and had a slight headache. She perked up and continued translating.
It was already past ten o'clock when Zhou Chenglei came back from taking a shower and washing clothes.
He closed the door, came to Jiang Xia and closed her book.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Jiang Xia stopped writing and looked at him.
Zhou Chenglei glanced at the watch on the table and reminded: "It's almost half past ten, go to bed!"
Jiang Xia also glanced at his watch, "Not yet. We don't have to go out to sea tomorrow. We won't go to bed until 11 o'clock tonight."
Including the more than two hours of translation on the boat this morning and one hour tonight, Jiang Xia has already translated half of the book.
I don't have to go out to sea tomorrow, so I will have more time. If I work harder tonight, I should be able to finish the translation tomorrow.
Zhou Chenglei picked her up from the chair, put her on the bed, and started kissing her.
Zhou Chenglei's nose was very straight, and it was pressed against hers. Their breaths intertwined, and he felt an unusual burning sensation again.
Zhou Chenglei raised his head.
Jiang Xia opened his eyes and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Chenglei touched her forehead and said, "You must have a fever again."
He quickly stood up and went to get the thermometer.
Jiang Xia touched his forehead. Did he have a fever again? No wonder his head felt heavy.
Zhou Chenglei inserted the thermometer needle into her armpits and asked her to clamp them tightly. He went to pour her some water and get some antipyretic powder.
Five minutes later, Zhou Chenglei took out the thermometer and saw that it was 37.3. This time it was an improvement! He handed the medicine to her and said, "Take the medicine first, and go to the city tomorrow."
He was worried because she caught a fever so easily.
"No, it's probably because I soaked in the sea water for a while today. I should be fine tomorrow." Jiang Xia frowned and looked at the bag of white powder. She had only taken pills when she was sick since she was a child, not powders.
"Buy a few bottles of Shashi tomorrow and keep them at home."
This stuff is too bitter, she misses the taste of shashi!
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
Although he was not a child and had never needed anyone to coax him into taking medicine, Jiang Xia still took the medicine and poured it directly into his mouth. He swallowed it with a big sip of water, then drank all the water in the cup to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth before lying down.
Zhou Chenglei put the cup away and returned to bed. She was already asleep.
He touched her forehead, put the quilt on her abdomen, and closed his eyes to rest, but he didn't dare to sleep. He opened his eyes from time to time and touched her forehead. It was not until three hours later that he felt that her body temperature was normal, then he dared to sleep. However, he woke up several times in the middle of the night, touched her forehead, and then continued to sleep. He didn't sleep much that night.
The next day, Jiang Xia woke up at dawn, feeling refreshed.
Zhou Chenglei didn't sleep much that night, and he didn't dare to sleep deeply, so he wasn't awake yet.
The room was dimly lit. His facial features were deep, delicate and charming. His stern face faded away when he was asleep. He was so handsome that Jiang Xia couldn't help but move closer to kiss him.
