Chapter 28: Make a manhole cover for her


    The pickled fish is tender, refreshing and appetizing; the shrimp with garlic has a strong garlic aroma, which is sweet and delicious. Because it is opened, you don’t need to peel it deliberately, just bite it and eat it directly, and spit it out; the little red squid is refreshing, and even the fish meat of the muddy fish is tenderer and smoother than usual.


    In the end, the whole family was overwhelmed!


    Zhou Chenglei and Zhou''s father also mixed a bowl of rice with pickled fish soup.


    It''s so delicious that I can''t even bear to pour out the soup.


    Zhou Zhou had never been so satisfied with eating. She could not rob her brothers before. How could she try to eat so much shrimp and fish one day at a meal?


    Her belly was round, and she couldn''t help but pat her, and then she met the little aunt''s smiling eyes. She was so scared that she retracted her hand and her little face turned red.


    Jiang Xia smiled.


    Zhou’s mother’s cooking skills are average, and she only needs to cook it thoroughly, regardless of whether the fish will be too old.


    However, fresh seafood is fresh and sweet, and it will not be too unpalatable if you steam it or cook it, but it does not mean it is delicious.


    The dishes made by Jiangxia are delicious! Super delicious! It makes people still unable to stop eating even after eating, and they always want to eat until they can''t stand it.


    Zhou''s mother also admires her daughter-in-law''s cooking skills.


    After Jiang Xia finished her meal, Zhou''s mother smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, you came back from sea for a day and cooked again. I''m tired. I''ll wash the bowl. You go take a shower and have some rest."


    Zhou Chenglei said, "You go to the yard to sit or walk around first, and I will help you carry water later."


    It’s not good to take a shower just after having enough food. I had no choice but to have a lot of people in my family, so now I don’t need to rush to take a shower.


    Jiang Xia didn''t like washing dishes, so she took Zhou Zhou out of the yard for a walk, and she was overeating.


    After Zhou''s mother finished cleaning up the dishes and the kitchen, Jiang Xia went to wash her hair and take a shower. After that, she blew her hair in the yard.


    Zhou Chenglei didn''t know where to use an iron truck to pull back a few old wooden boards and some iron branches.


    Jiang Xia saw him put the wooden boards on the wellhead piece by piece and took a pencil to draw out the shape of the wellhead.


    Zhou Zhou squatted aside and said curiously: "Uncle, what are you doing?"


    "Make a manhole cover." Zhou Chenglei replied to his niece''s question.


    Zhou''s mother was washing the clothes that Zhou''s father and Zhou Zhou changed into the patio beside the well. Hearing this, he said, "Why do you want to get a manhole cover? Zhou Zhou has grown up and knew that he could not get close to the wellhead two years ago."


    Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, I won''t get close to the well, I know the danger."


    Jiang Xia couldn''t help thinking: Zhou Chenglei was afraid that he would prevent her from falling into the well when he used this manhole cover?


    "I plan to install a rocking pump."


    Zhou’s mother: “What are you doing to install a water pump? It’s redundant! The terrain here is not as high as the new house and the well is shallow. You can just use a bucket to drive the water up, which is easy and quick.”


    Zhou Chenglei: "It is convenient to install a water pump, Zhou Zhou and Jiangxia to fetch water."


    "Oh, that''s the same, then pretend!" Zhou''s mother knew that she was dressing for Jiang Xia when she heard this. She didn''t say anything else. After washing her clothes, she called Zhou Zhou back to sleep.


    Jiang Xia watched Zhou Chenglei work happily in the yard.


    After Zhou Chenglei drew the shape of the wellhead, he took out a saw and saw off the excess wood, then nailed the wooden boards into a circle one by one, and then nailed a circle of wooden boards on the edge of the circle to make a large round support.


    Then Jiang Xia saw him take out some iron branches, place them crisscrossed in the round bracket, and tied them with iron wire.


    Then he used the rest of the house to repair the house and stirred it into concrete, poured it into the round troop, and used a small shovel to flatten it, so that the iron sticks would not be exposed.


    After two days, when the concrete is dry and hard, a simple cement slab manhole cover will be ready.


    Jiang Xia took a look at the yard. Except for a patio near the wellhead, there is a mud in the yard. It is not heavy when the rain falls, and the mud on it step on it when the rain falls.


    She said: "Tomorrow, my brother will go to sea, so we don''t have to go to sea. Why don''t we go to the river to pick up some pebbles and pave a small road in the yard?"


    Jiang Xia also said that such a large yard is really wasteful, so why don’t you plant some fruit trees and flowers?


    Zhou Chenglei replied: "I will go to the town to buy a water pump tomorrow morning and come back to pick it up again when I come back in the afternoon."


    There was nothing planted in the yard because I needed to dry dried fish frequently. Zhou’s mother was too lazy to plant it, but Zhou Chenglei didn’t tell her.


    Go to the market? When Jiang Xia heard this, he immediately said, "I''ll go to the market with you."


    Zhou Chenglei looked at her. The day after she got married, he asked her if she would go to the market. She refused with disgust.


    "There are many stalls selling fish at the market, such as chickens, geese and ducks, which will smell bad." The markets in the countryside are messy and dirty, and he had to remind her that he was afraid that she would not be able to stand it.


    “I’m not afraid.”


    Zhou Chenglei didn''t say anything, "It''s getting late, you go to bed! You have to get up at six o''clock tomorrow if you want to go to the market."


    Zhou’s father, Zhou’s mother and Zhou Zhou both took a shower and went back to sleep in the house.


    Jiang Xia went back to the room.


    Zhou Chenglei washed his hands and walked in. He took out a large stack of great unity for Jiang Xia.


    Jiang Xia looked at him in surprise.


    "I will give you a thousand yuan for the money I went to sea today."


    There is such a good thing? After all, she just went out to sea by boat.


    Jiang Xia: "I didn''t even put in any effort, and I had so much money?"


    Zhou Chenglei: "Without you heard the sound of cooing and seeing the Gaji fish, you won''t be able to make so much today. This is what you should take, remember to put it in place."


    Zhou Chenglei put the money in the cabinet of the dressing table, and he also put his portion in an iron box in the wardrobe in front of Jiang Xia.


    Then he found a set of clothes to take a shower, but he didn''t turn off the lights, for fear that she would be alone.


    Jiang Xia counted the stack of money, which was exactly one thousand yuan, and she didn''t politely put the money away.


    Jiang Xia had a decision in her mind and planned to wait for Zhou Chenglei to come back from the shower and tell him.


    She put the money away, went out to wash her hands, and then returned to the bed and lay down.


    I originally wanted to wait for Zhou Chenglei to come back to talk about the matter, but I was too tired. I woke up early today and fell asleep in bed. I didn’t expect the snake to be there.


    Zhou Chenglei came back from taking a shower and Jiang Xia was already asleep, her sleeping face was quiet and beautiful.


    Zhou Chenglei saw a little sweat on her forehead, took a clean cloth towel and returned to the bed, wiped her sweat, and then put medicine on her hands, then turned off the light, lie down on the bed, and gently swayed the big sunny fan with his eyes closed until he gradually felt sleepy.


    The next day, Zhou Chenglei woke up at five o''clock, and Jiang Xia''s hands and feet were resting on him again.


    He put his pillow on her, and then got up carefully and went out for a run.


    He would run for an hour every day when he didn''t have to go out to sea.


    Zhou Chenglei came back from running and was already six o''clock, and Jiang Xia was not awake yet.


    The lobby at home was empty, with only a table for dinner. Zhou Chenglei wanted to go to the market to buy some bamboo beds and come back from the bamboo stool.


    People who sell bamboo beds at the market usually only bring one. After all, they are too large and difficult to carry. If they go late, they may be gone.


    He had no choice but to wake up Jiang Xia.


    Jiang Xia woke up as soon as she shouted and got up and washed up.


    Zhou’s mother has already prepared breakfast, sweet potato porridge with pickles, and two boiled eggs.


    Zhou’s mother gave Zhou Zhou and Jiang Xia.


    In the days when you don’t have to go out to sea, Zhou’s father and Zhou Chenglei don’t have eggs to eat!


    There are not many eggs at home. Except for occasionally giving them one for grandson and Zhou Zhou, they are reluctant to eat them on weekdays, so they keep them for Zhou’s father and son to take them on the boat to eat. Zhou’s mother thought that she misunderstood Jiangxia yesterday and cooked one more.


    After the couple had breakfast, Zhou Chenglei and Jiangxia went to the village committee to borrow a tractor.


    Then the two drove the tractor to the town to go to the market.


    It was the same road as last time, and I met the heroine in a white dress at the same intersection.


    But this time Wen Wan did not herd sheep, but pushed an iron truck with a large wooden board on it, and a slaughtered sheep was placed on it.


    Wen Wan reached out to stop Zhou Chenglei''s tractor.


    ?I wish you a happy June 1st for all your friends!
