Chapter 16 Two boxes of rice


    Jiang Xia never disliked the atmosphere of labor. Her grandmother used to be a cleaner, but later she went to sell vegetables. She could make more money by selling vegetables.


    She sat down against the door frame, left him a wide enough position, and handed him the kettle: "You drink some water first."


    Zhou Chenglei was indeed a little thirsty. He took a look at the seat beside her and sat down.


    "I''ll help you with the lunch box."


    Zhou Chenglei wanted to put the aluminum lunch box on the ground, but after hearing this, he gave it to her. He took the kettle she handed over, unscrewed it, raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and poured the water from the kettle into his mouth through the void.


    Jiang Xia glanced at him.


    He raised his head and opened his mouth wide. His posture of drinking water was not elegant, but he was extremely wild.


    The jawline and side lines are beautiful, with wheat-colored skin, thin pores, slender neck, the button on the top of the shirt is tightly buttoned, and the sharp Adam''s apple goes up and down as he drinks water, as if he wants to break free from the constraints of the collar, and jump out, which is so sexy.


    This man has no blind spots at 360 degrees!


    Zhou Chenglei drank half a pot of water in one breath. When he put it down, he found that Jiang Xia was distracted when he thought she wanted to drink it. He handed her the kettle: "Also."


    Jiang Xia took it with the opportunity, raised her head and took a few sips into her mouth.


    Damn, I was so crazy about it.


    This man is poisonous!


    Zhou Chenglei urgently reminded her when he saw her drinking: "Slow down, don''t choke."


    Jiang Xia slowed down.


    Zhou Chenglei saw that her white and tender face was stained with a red glow due to the heat. His fingers holding the military green kettle were white and thin, tender and long. His porcelain white skin color formed a sharp contrast with the military green kettle, which was so eye-catching.


    With just one glance, he looked away.


    Jiang Xia took a few sips and then put it down and stopped drinking. If she drank too much water before eating, she would lose her appetite.


    Zhou Chenglei took the kettle from her hand after she finished drinking, twisted the lid, and put it aside.


    Jiang Xia handed him the lunch box on his leg. He took it, uncovered the lid of the lunch box, revealing a full box of lunches, with a lot of dried fish and a boiled egg.


    Zhou Chenglei handed her the lunch box and took the lunch box that had not been uncovered in her hand.


    Jiang Xia was so warmed by his considerateness that he smiled politely: "Thank you."


    Her voice was crisp and pleasant, and a little soft and soft, which made people feel very comfortable to hear. Zhou Chenglei couldn''t help but look at her.


    The sky is blue and cloudless, the girl''s smile is very shallow and flawless.


    "No need." With just one look, Zhou Chenglei silently withdrew his gaze, lowered his head expressionlessly and opened the lunch box in his hand, revealing a box of lunch: there are more vegetables and pickled vegetables, less dried fish, only two, and the rice is less rice and more sweet potatoes, which is very contrasted with the lunch box just now.


    Jiang Xia also saw it. It was originally the lunch box given to her by Zhou’s mother.


    She didn''t care, she would have to divorce anyway, and she understood that there was no good in this world for no reason.


    "I can''t finish it, let''s change it."


    Zhou Chenglei picked up the chopsticks and started eating: "No, you have leftovers."


    Seeing that he had already started, Jiang Xia picked up a few dried fish and put them in his lunch box.


    Zhou Chenglei avoided: "No, eat."


    Jiang Xia: "I really can''t eat so much."


    Zhou Chenglei: "I can''t eat it until I can''t eat it."


    Jiang Xia can only forget it.


    When Zhou''s mother saw it, she frowned and felt that Jiang Xia was ignorant!


    Men need to do their hard work, and eat more meat to gain strength.


    Jiangxia can’t do anything, why eat so much succulent? Do you gain weight?


    The rice is sweet potato rice, the vegetables are steamed dried fish, cabbage, and sauerkraut.


    The dried fish is very fragrant because it is too small, and the fish bones can be chewed and swallowed directly. The sauerkraut is refreshing, the cabbage is very tender, and the sweet potato rice is sweet. They are all delicious. It has nothing to do with cooking skills, but the ingredients are very good.


    Jiang Xia had only half a box of lunch left until she had eaten. After all, this was prepared according to Zhou Chenglei''s appetite.


    She stretched her waist and stretched her stomach. She was too poor when she was a child and her family sold vegetables. She never wasted a meter of food, but she couldn''t eat it anymore.


    Zhou Chenglei just finished eating. Seeing her stretching her waist and stretching her stomach, he asked, "Can''t you eat it?"


    Jiang Xia nodded: "I''m overeating."


    Zhou Chenglei reached out to take away the lunch box from her hand, and in a few bites, he pulled the half box of leftover lunch steak into her mouth and finished it.


    Jiang Xia: "."


    Zhou Zhou also came over with the lunch box at this time: "Uncle, I can''t finish it, grandma said to you." Zhou Chenglei didn''t say anything and took it over, and ate the leftover food Zhou Zhou had in just a few bites.


    Jiang Xia''s expression became a little more natural.


    After eating, Zhou Chenglei took away the small spoon from Jiang Xia''s hand and took three lunch boxes to the well to wash.


    After washing the lunch box, he asked Jiang Xia and Zhou''s mother to go back and take a nap together. The sun was very fierce at noon, so she was afraid that she would not be able to stand it.


    Jiang Xia hasn''t gone back. She has a bit obsessive-compulsive disorder and doesn''t like to rest until she finishes her work.


    Zhou’s mother took Zhou Zhou back, and Zhou Zhou had to go to school around 1:00 pm.


    Zhou’s father and Zhou Chenglei started working, Zhou Chenglei climbed onto the roof, and Zhou’s father stirred the cement and sand.


    Jiang Xia wore a straw hat and did some small work like handing tiles under her.


    Not long after, Zhou''s mother, Zhou Chengxin and Tian Caihua came, and they pushed a cart of tables and chairs over.


    Then Zhou''s father, Zhou Chenglei, Zhou Chengxin and his son all went to the roof to repair the tiles. Zhou''s mother stirred the cement and sand below. Jiangxia Hetian Caihua stood on a ladder and the other stood on the ground, passing the tiles and cement and sand.


    Not long after, my grandmother and her family came to help.


    As soon as his grandmother’s six-year-old grandmother’s grandmother came in, she shouted loudly: “Brother, eldest nephew, younger nephew, I’m here!”


    (Big Brother) Zhou Father: "."


    (Big nephew) Zhou Chengxin: "."


    (Little nephew) Zhou Chenglei: "."


    The son of the great grandmother, Zhou Yongguo is as old as Zhou Chenglei, but his seniority is two generations older than Zhou Chenglei, and he is from his grandfather’s generation. So he had to call a grandfather of the same age.


    Zhou Chenglei has never called him since he was a child, but only called Zhou Yongguo''s name, not grandpa.


    The two of them have been studying together since they were young and skipping classes together, and they have had a good time.


    Because Zhou Chenglei did not call him grandpa, Zhou Yongguo taught his six-year-old son to call him Zhou Chenglei''s nephew.


    On the roof, the three fathers and sons of the Zhou family pretended not to hear it.


    Zhou Yongguo climbed up the roof along the bamboo ladder and looked at Zhou Chenglei: "Little grandson, your grandfather doesn''t call anyone when he comes!"


    Zhou Chenglei wished he could kick him down!


    Zhou Jie jumped and ran to Jiang Xia: "Niece-in-law, I am your uncle (uncle)."


    Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Jie with a treacherous head and a treacherous head: “…”


    She touched his head: "Hello, uncle! Didn''t you eat? Why are you so short and thin? People will think you are my son and not my uncle, you have to have a good meal."


    Jiang Xia took a little advantage verbally, but the child is big, thin and looks malnourished.


    Just now, she chatted with her grandmother and found out that the grandmother''s family had three generations of single-handed birth. She only had such a grandson, who was weak and sick and picky about food, which made people worry.


    Zhou Jie hates others the most about saying that he is short. He is the shortest child in the village. He pouts: "It''s neither big nor small! Humph, I will grow up one day, and I will grow taller than you then! Humph!"


    Everyone in the yard laughed.


    The grandma smiled and said, "Then you have to eat well, you can''t be picky about your food."


    Zhou Jie didn''t listen, so he ran to ask Zhou''s mother, Zhou Zhou and Guangzong Yaozu where they were.


    I heard that they were in the new house, so I ran to play with them.


    There are many people and great power. There are three adult males who are good at working. Six people repair the roof in two hours.


    Zhou Yongguo didn''t know which house he went to to find two large buckets of lime water, and painted the moldy, black and skinless walls everywhere in the house.


    In summer, August is the hottest time again, and it’s done quickly. After finishing here, it’s done there.


    Jiang Xia looked at the room she had finished painting, which was white, bright and much more comfortable.


    The three father and son from the grandmother''s house helped to paint the wall, and Zhou Chenglei and his son went back to move things.


    At around five o''clock, everything was moved over.


    But because there are not many things, there are only two old square tables and eight chairs in the living room, and nothing else is left.


    Jiang Xia looked at her new home. Although her home was barely barren, it was probably because of the large number of people that she did not feel lonely or cold.


    Tian Caihua walked in at this time, looked at the brand new house and said a little sour, "It''s quite comfortable to renovate this old house. But it shouldn''t cost 300 yuan to renovate it, right?"
