Chapter 433 Borrowing a Car


    The next day, at four o''clock, many boats went out to sea at the pier.


    After resting for so many days, the Chinese New Year is almost over. Everyone wants to hurry up and make more money for the Chinese New Year.


    Zhou Chenglei also got up early in the morning and went out to sea.


    Although the rain stopped falling, it was still very cold, especially in the morning. Jiang Xia did not go out to sea today because Zhou’s mother said she would make rice cakes today.


    Jiang Xia woke up at half past six. Before dawn, she was awakened by the swearing voice of Zhou Bingqiang''s wife next door.


    He scolded him loudly, probably because he was scolding Wenwan and calling her the nemesis.


    The sound of quarrels can often be heard in the village.


    Either mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, sister-in-law quarrel, neighbors quarrel, parents and children quarrel.


    Whose daughter-in-law will make a noise after sleeping in a lazy state!


    It will be noisy if my cousin snatches my cousin’s toy!


    The chicken from the east will make a noise when the dish in the west vegetable garden!


    …


    Anyway, everything can start to quarrel, and most of them are quarrels, and Jiang Xia has become accustomed to it.


    But today is too close, too early.


    She got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and then went downstairs to see Zhou’s father having breakfast: “When did Dad come back last night?”


    Jiang Xia went to bed at 9 o''clock last night. When Zhou''s father arrived home, Jiang Xia slept soundly and had no idea.


    It was the door that Zhou Chenglei went downstairs to open. He had been waiting for Zhou''s father, thinking that he would go to bed until eleven o''clock, and just as he wanted to sleep, Zhou''s father came back.


    Zhou''s father smiled and said, "I came back at 11 o''clock last night."


    Jiang Xia asked casually: "Is Zhou Guohua okay?"


    "The doctor said that the pubic bone was broken, but fortunately it was not displaced and there were not many fractures, but it would take three or four months to heal."


    Zhou’s father had never heard of the pubic bone before.


    I really learned about it last night.


    Jiang Xia will also read the medical books Zhou Chenglei asked Dr. Gao about women''s pregnancy when he has time recently.


    I happened to know that the pubic bone is two bones located in front of the pelvis, two very small pieces. The two bones are connected by ligaments and fibrous cartilage tissue. This area is called pubic junction.


    When a woman gives birth, the cleft between the pubic junction will widen so that the fetus can give birth smoothly.


    Women secrete strong hormones when pregnant. In order to adapt to fetal development, the pelvis will be stretched wide. If the force is too strong during childbirth, it may lead to pubic junction separation and even ligaments damage.


    If you have poor recovery, it may cause pubic pain, low back pain, abdominal pain, uterine sagging, urine leakage, and body shape becoming poor.


    Jiang Xia didn''t keep watching after seeing this, she had to give birth to three in one breath!


    I plan to study how to recover after giving birth.


    She used to hear her colleagues who had become mothers say that they always had lower back pain after giving birth.


    Jiang Xia went to the kitchen to get breakfast, and Zhou''s mother was already stir-frying rice in the kitchen.


    Jiang Xia has never made fried rice cakes, which is also the food at Zhou’s mother’s house.


    Zhou’s mother hasn’t done it for many years.


    I can’t eat enough for these New Year’s Eve dinners, so I have to add sweet potatoes to cook or cook sweet potato porridge.


    Where can I make rice cakes?


    This year''s life is getting better. Now the rice and white rice are no longer sweet potato rice. She plans to make some for the children to eat.


    And I am planning to make fifty kilograms of rice cakes and thirty kilograms of almond cakes, and I can give gifts during the Chinese New Year.


    Almonds are the New Year gift sent by Zhou Chenglei''s comrades.


    Jiang Xia sat on a small stool holding millet sea cucumber porridge while helping to watch the fire while having breakfast.


    Today I will make fried rice cakes first, and stir-fry 50 kilograms of rice. It is not easy to stir-fry fragrant. Zhou’s mother stir-fry three times.


    The rice should be fried until it is lightly golden and not too burnt. The rice cakes made in this way will taste fragrant. After the first pot, Zhou’s mother’s hands will become a little soft.


    Zhou''s father came to help, and each of the two old men stir-fry a pot. At this time, Zhou Bingqiang''s wife walked in and said with a smile: "What are you doing? It smells so good!"


    Zhou’s mother: “Is there anything wrong with making some fried rice cakes?”


    Zhou Bingqiang''s wife smiled and said, "Isn''t Guohua still in the hospital? She needs to stay in the hospital for a while. I think Ah Lei will drive me to the city to bring some clothes for the father and son to change their clothes and some food."


    Zhou’s father: “A Lei went out to sea.”


    Zhou Bingqiang’s wife: “It’s not possible today, so tomorrow! As the end of the year approaches, the cars going to the city are crowded with people, and I’m afraid I can’t get into the car with my things.”


    Jiang Xia: "There is no time to go tomorrow."


    Zhou Bingqiang’s wife: “Then the day after tomorrow!”


    Jiang Xia said directly: "I haven''t had time to go for the day after tomorrow. I haven''t had time to go for a lot of work at home. Aunt Qiang, please see when the tractor in the production team is available!"


    After hearing this, Zhou Bingqiang''s wife said, "Are you all available? Then lend me the jeep and use it! I asked my family Guohong to drive me there and took Wenwan to the hospital for dressing. Her foot was sprained and it was not convenient to take a tractor, otherwise I wouldn''t have to bother you. Don''t worry, my family Guohong will drive."


    Jiang Xia: "She sprained her foot, but she didn''t have her **** twisted. What''s inconvenient to sit on a tractor?"


    "You can borrow it, give me 200 yuan first! One hundred yuan in fuel costs, one hundred yuan in car rental fees, and go buy an insurance policy and find a lawyer to write a guarantee letter. If something happens, you will be fully responsible and it has nothing to do with the owner, because the owner does not agree to borrow it! And you must guarantee to compensate me for a brand new car. If it is spent or dirty, I will change to a brand new one. When will you prepare what I said, then you can borrow it!"


    Zhou Bingqiang’s wife: “…”


    Never seen such an ignorant and shameless person!


    Zhou Bingqiang’s wife is gone.


    Jiang Xia heard her return to the next door and cursing, and scolded Wenwan too.


    Zhou Bingqiang''s wife scolded her and went to the vegetable garden. Soon everyone in the village knew what Jiang Xia said.


    Of course, Jiang Xia doesn’t care about these things, it’s better to know.

    When making fried rice cakes, you need to stir-fry the rice, and stir-fry peanuts and sesame seeds. The fried rice cakes with chopped peanuts and sesame seeds are more fragrant.


    However, the peanuts were added and the time they were stored for not long, so Zhou''s mother only made ten kilograms of peanuts.


    Peanuts and sesame fields are cooked and fryed, and sent them over.


    After the rice was fryed, Zhou''s father took it to the rice milling station in the next village and grind it into powder.


    Take it back, add it to the cooked syrup, pour the peanuts and sesame seeds, stir together, then put it in a specific cake mold, press it tightly, and then knock it out. This is also called knocking rice cakes.


    The knocked rice cakes are moist because they contain syrup. They must be placed one by one in a large iron pot and dried over low heat.


    The rice cakes produced in this way are fragrant and sweet, but they are a bit hard.


    Not a little bit, it’s very hard!


    Jiang Xia tasted one and almost bit her teeth!


    She smiled and said, "This can be used to make teething cakes for the child!"


    The teeth are not good and I really can’t bite them.


    But it is really delicious and delicious. I didn''t add anything except for adding borneol sugar.


    Jiang Xia and a few children were responsible for knocking rice cakes, Tian Caihua, and Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother were responsible for drying.


    The stoves of the old house and new houses are used.


    Later, when the grandmother and He Xinghuan smelled the fragrance, they also came to help.


    I was busy until Zhou Chenglei came back from sea and finally finished.


    Jiang Xia handed him a rice cake with the word "Fu" and said, "I made it, try it."


    Zhou Chenglei took it and put it in his mouth. It was very hard!


    "tasty."


    The harder it is, the better it tastes.
