Chapter 395 Aunt Fen


    Because he wanted to buy things, Zhou Chenglei drove a tractor this time, and sent a batch of dried fish to the city. He went to the textile factory to see if the curtains were well-made.


    He has one more thing to do when he goes to the city.


    Jiang Xia sat on a seat cushion with moderate softness and elasticity, looking down at her head in surprise: "When did you make this seat cushion?"


    The seats of the tractor were actually renovated!


    Several thick springs were added to the bottom of the seat, which played the role of shock-absorbing and bump-proofing.


    She also had a backrest in the seat.


    It feels very comfortable to let her sit and lean on her.


    The tractor was parked behind the new house, and Jiang Xia didn''t even notice it.


    "night."


    The tractor was quite shaky. He had thought that one day he would need to use a tractor to take Jiangxia to the city. Jiangxia slept early at night. When he had time, he took off an old cotton jacket and weaved a rectangular cushion with catkins. It was stuffed with layers of cotton and straw mats. It was strong and a little soft, and it could also play a certain buffering role.


    Zhou Chenglei held the shaking handle and turned it around for a few times, started the tractor, pulled out the shaking handle, walked to Jiang Xia, put the shaking handle, and sat in the driver''s seat.


    He reached out to help Jiang Xia tidy up his scarf and woolen hat.


    He pulled the woolen cap low, pulled it to his eyebrows, and covered her ears.


    He pulled the scarf high again and covered his mouth and nose.


    Only one pair of eyes was exposed.


    Jiang Xia: “…”


    She fiddled in the mirror for a long time before she put the woolen hat and scarf to achieve the most perfect effect!


    "What are you doing? I messed up my look!" Jiang Xia glared at him and reached out to tidy up his hat and scarf.


    No matter what shape Zhou Chenglei looked, he pulled down her hand: "Don''t move, that''s it. It''s much colder today. Your ears and nose should be red when you blow all the way to the city. I''ll help you get it back. And today the wind is strong, the road is dusty, and the tractor smells heavy in the diesel, which is just right to block it."


    Jiang Xia didn''t move anymore when she heard it.


    "Sit down." Seeing that she sat down, Zhou Chenglei reminded her, then reached out and turned around, started the tractor and set off.


    When Zhou Chenglei drove the tractor out of the village, he met two villagers on the road.


    It was a woman from the next village. She was carrying two snakeskin bags and a chicken cage on her shoulders, and holding a little girl of seven or eight years old in one hand.


    The girl''s clothes were patched, but they were very clean.


    Zhou Chenglei said to Jiang Xia: "That''s Aunt Fen, my former classmate''s mother, I''ll ask her where she is going."


    "good."


    The tractor came to the woman and stopped.


    "Auntie Fen." Zhou Chenglei greeted first, then said, "Where are you going?"


    Jiang Xia smiled and shouted, "Auntie Fen."


    "Hey, A Lei''s wife." Aunt Fen responded with a smile, and then said, "I''m going to the town. Isn''t today a market day? I''ll go sell something."


    Zhou Chenglei got off the tractor and said, "I''m going to the city, it''s just the way. You get on the tractor and I''ll take you there."


    "No, no! It will be here soon! I''ll just walk over by myself! It won''t delay you, you can go!"


    She is carrying a cage of chickens! It would be bad if the tractor was dirty if the chicken **** was dirty.


    Jiang Xia smiled and said, "No delay, anyway, I''m going on the way. Aunt Fen, don''t be polite, you guys get on the tractor."


    Zhou Chenglei got off the tractor, took the load on the other party''s shoulder, and helped the other party carry the two snake-skin bags and chicken cages onto the tractor.


    "How can you be so embarrassed! Then you can just drop me when you reach the intersection in the town!"


    "Hey, do you have old snake skin? Put it on me! I''m afraid that the chicken will **** on the car."


    "It doesn''t matter, no need to cushion." Zhou Chenglei said.


    Aunt Fen still pulled a handful of dry grass **** the side of the road and placed it under the chicken cage.


    Then Aunt Fen asked her daughter to climb onto the tractor by herself.


    Zhou Chenglei remembers that the child is 9 years old and a little old, so he didn''t carry her onto the tractor.


    He returned to the driver''s seat, sat down and started the tractor. Seeing the little girl dressed in thin clothes, Jiang Xia took a small blanket and handed it to the back: "Auntie Fen, cover the child to block the wind."


    This was prepared for her by Zhou Chenglei, but she dressed thickly and was not cold.


    "No, no. It''s not cold, she''s wearing a cotton jacket. You cover it, you cover it!"


    Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Cover it! It''s windy to ride a tractor than walking. If the child gets a blow, he will catch a cold."


    Aunt Fen took it and covered the child with this.


    The thin blanket is very soft, with a faint soap aroma and sunshine, and it is clearly washed very clean.


    She was a little embarrassed, afraid of getting dirty.


    Zhou Chenglei talks little. In addition to coaxing Jiang Xia to speak more to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, he usually rarely speaks when there are outsiders.


    Jiang Xia herself is also a little talkative, but it is a bit embarrassing not to speak, mainly because she is afraid that Aunt Fen and her daughter will be embarrassed.


    Jiang Xia asked, "Auntie Fen went to the town to sell things, why is it so late?"


    “Yes, I got up late, it’s a little late.”


    In fact, there is a paralyzed mother-in-law at home who needs to be taken care of and wait for her to wake up and feed her food before she can go out.


    Jiang Xia thought that his new house would move in a while and that she would invite relatives and friends and people from the village to dinner.


    The wedding and housewarming are all great things here. The villagers invited the whole village to banquet at these two wedding events.


    Zhou Chenglei calculated that 20 tables of flowing seats may be needed by then.


    As the saying goes, no feast can be achieved without chickens. A table requires half a rooster or a hen.


    There are many hens in the house, only two roosters. But the hens are laying eggs and are reluctant to kill them.


    Rooster, a winter solstice is about to be slaughtered and worship the gods, and the remaining rooster must be kept for the hen to dip evenly with rain and dew, otherwise the eggs laid by the hen will not hatch the chicks.


    Jiang Xia asked, "Auntie Fen, have you raised a lot of chickens? It just so happens that my family is going to buy some chickens to hold a banquet."


    Aunt Fen immediately asked, "How much is needed? I have sixteen roosters and twenty hens."


    She makes money by raising chickens, so she raises a little more.


    Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei: "You want sixteen roosters? Do you want a hen?"


    The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you also have to worship the gods with a rooster during the New Year. There are also New Year''s Day activities, including traveling gods.


    Zhou Chenglei: "Auntie Fen, we want all the roosters and hens you can sell at home."


    Doctor Gao didn’t say that it would be better to eat anything, and buying more chickens is also good to eat once or twice a week.


    Aunt Fen smiled and said, "Okay, then I won''t sell this chicken in my cage, keep it all and send it to your house at that time."


    Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I''m sorry, Aunt Fen. We''ll buy this cage of chicken first and return it to you when the cage is coming. Have you weighed this chicken at home? How much does it cost?"


    There are two roosters and two old hens in the cage, both of which are fat!


    Aunt Fen smiled and said, "I have weighed it. There are roosters with seven and a half pounds, and one is 7 and a half pounds, and one is 4 and a half pounds. The roosters have been raised for more than a year, and the old hens have been raised for three years. It is very nourishing. I can count you as nine hundred and a pound per pound."


    Nowadays, chickens are usually sold for 70 to 80 cents per kilogram, of course, it depends on how long it has been raised. After four or five months, it cannot lay eggs, which is cheaper.


    Roosters and old hens are more expensive, usually one piece to one piece, one cent more than one pound.


    The national prices of agricultural and sideline foods are often different, but they are not much different.


    Jiang Xia gave Auntie twenty-five yuan.


    “No need to be so much.”


    Jiang Xia: "It''s almost done, and we can''t take advantage of you. I won''t need a ticket if I buy it from you! That''s it! Otherwise, I won''t dare to buy it from you."


    Aunt Fen then accepted it, kept saying thank you, and cage said she had given it to them.


    The intersection of the town’s market was just around the corner. Zhou Chenglei stopped the tractor and helped her take off the tractor from the two snakeskin bags.


    Aunt Fen pulled her daughter and waved goodbye to them.


    After the tractor was running far away, Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei: "Is Aunt Fen''s daughter..."
