Chapter 5 The shrimp is far away from her, she can’t reach it
Jiang Xia didn’t know that after the original owner had a meal with everyone on the first day after she got married, she was unwilling to go out to eat. It was Zhou Chenglei who brought it to her. in the room.
Not having the memory of the original owner is troublesome, but she has experienced a lot in her previous life, and has long since learned to deal with it with a calm smile no matter what situation she encounters.
Facing everyone's attention, Jiang Xia smiled and asked as if nothing had happened: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, sit down and eat." Father Zhou spoke.
Zhou Chenglei pulled a bamboo chair from the corner and added a seat. Everyone consciously moved their positions to make more space.
Zhou Chenglei motioned Jiang Xia to sit down first.
Jiang Xia finally realized that there was no place for her. It should be because the original owner had not eaten with everyone before, so no one left a place for her.
She calmly sat down next to Xiao Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Chenglei sat down next to her and glanced at the pickles and vegetables in front of him.
Zhou Zhou timidly called out: "Little aunt."
Jiang Xia smiled and touched her little head: "Zhou Zhou is so good."
Zhou Zhou froze. , she didn't dare to move, she was a little afraid of this little aunt, she had seen her slap her uncle in the face.
Jiang Xia took back her hand when she saw that she was afraid.
The Zhou family dining table is a long table made up of two short Eight Immortals tables. At this moment, there are six members of the first house’s family, Zhou’s father and mother, Zhou Zhou, the orphan of the third house, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei, in total. Eleven people, just enough to sit down.
Zhou Chenglei’s second brother and second sister-in-law work in the town. They usually live in the town and do not come back for meals.
Zhou Chenglei also has an eldest sister who is married, so there are only eleven people to eat.
Jiang Xia took a look at the dishes on the table: flower crab, sea shrimp, fish stew, green vegetables, pickles and a seaweed and egg drop soup.
The Zhou family’s food is indeed as good as written in the book.
The Zhou family lives in a small fishing village, which is very close to the sea. The Zhou family owns a fishing boat. Father Zhou takes Zhou Chengxin and Zhou Chenglei out to sea to fish at three or four in the morning every day, so the meals of the Zhou family There’s never a shortage of seafood.
Zhou's father called out "dinner," and as soon as he finished speaking, the four brothers in the first room immediately reached for the plate of shrimps with their chopsticks, and each picked the largest one.
All of a sudden the largest shrimps were taken away, and it felt like half of the whole plate of shrimps was missing.
Tian Caihua cursed and left it alone. She also caught a handful of shrimps herself, and then gave some of the largest mud fish in the fish pot to her sons.
If you don’t eat more, is it easier for outsiders?
What was placed in front of Jiang Xia were green vegetables and pickles, with a large plate of egg drop soup in the middle. It was difficult to pick up other vegetables, which showed how unpopular she was.
Jiang Xia picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of green vegetables as if nothing had happened.
At this time, a peeled prawn was placed in her bowl.
Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei and smiled: "Thank you."
Zhou Chenglei did not look at her, and put the largest mud fish in the fish pot, picked out the spine, and put it in the pot. He gave her the fish meat and said, "Eat carefully, I don't know if there are any fish bones."
The first meal she came to Zhou's house had fish bones stuck in it. Usually the food he brought to her house was full of fish. Picky.
Jiang Xia felt embarrassed and thanked him again, asking him to eat by himself and leave her alone.
Zhou Chenglei picked up another shrimp, peeled it and put it into Jiang Xia's bowl.
The shrimp is far away from her and she can't catch it.
Mother Zhou glanced at her youngest son and sighed. If she had known better, she would not have removed the plate of shrimps, and her son would not be able to take a bite.
Father Zhou ate in silence, as if he didn't know anything.
Tian Caihua secretly rolled her eyes. Her son didn't need to find fault with eating fish at the age of four. He was squeamish and pretentious!
Why are you so nice to her when you are about to get divorced?
Jiang Xia glanced at the plate of shrimps and saw that there were no more shrimps.
It is not unreasonable for a young man to live in poverty.
The four brothers Guangzong Yaozu ate the meal as if they were robbing them. They didn’t even peel the shrimps, so they robbed them all in one go. Jiang Xia saw that Zhou Zhou didn't catch it, so she put the shrimp into Zhou Zhou's bowl.
Zhou Zhou seemed a little surprised. He turned to look at Jiang Xia and whispered, "Thank you, auntie."
Jiang Xia smiled and gave half of the fish to little Zhou Zhou beside him.
Zhou Zhou said timidly, "Thank you, little aunt. Little aunt, you can eat it yourself and don't worry about me. Zhou Zhou will spit out thorns when eating fish and is not afraid of thorns."
She didn't understand little aunt. It's a bit scary why my aunt is so gentle today.
Zhou’s mother also peeled a shrimp for Zhou Zhou and stuffed it with a mud fish. This fish had few bones and tasted good. Zhou Zhou liked to eat it.
She said to Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, just eat it by yourself. Zhou Zhou can eat fish by herself, so don't worry about it."
Today, this daughter-in-law seems to be a bit normal, with a trace on her face. She smiled like the whole world owed her money.
It's a pity that she is not normal most of the time.
Can’t stay!
Jiang Xia said hello and started eating by himself.
I have to say, this wild seafood is really delicious.
The shrimp meat is chewy, fresh and sweet.
The meat of the mud fish is firm and delicious.
The flower crab is also particularly fresh and sweet.
It can be seen that these seafood are simply steamed or cooked with some salt, but they are all very delicious.
The other dishes were quickly eaten by Zhou Hai and his brothers. No one ate flower crabs. Zhou Hai and his brothers thought it was too troublesome and meatless, but Jiang Xia especially loved crabs.
Zhou Chenglei saw that she liked to eat, so he peeled it for her.
When Tian Caihua saw Zhou Chenglei peeling shrimps and crabs for Jiang Xia, he couldn't help but said to Zhou Chengxin: "You see how much my fourth brother loves his wife. I have been married to you for so many years, but I have never seen you do it to me. I've peeled crabs and shrimps."
Zhou Chengxin said angrily: "Didn't you say that flower crabs are worthless and have no meat, so they don't like to eat them? People in the village throw away these things, so only Zhou Zhou loves them. Eat.”
She eats shrimps with their shells on. She says that peeling shrimps is a waste of time and will result in eating fewer shrimps, so her sons are like her!
Zhou Zhou: "."
She likes to eat it because she can't compete with her brothers for other dishes. Only Brother Hua Xie doesn't want to eat it because it's troublesome.
Tian Caihua: "."
Marrying a fool!
I get angry when I see it!
Zhou Chengxin was also full and walked away.
Jiang Xia was a little surprised that the flower crab was not valuable. In modern times, this thing is more expensive than some fish.
Zhou Chenglei said nothing, silently picking out the remaining crab meat and giving it to Jiang Xia and his little niece.
So much so that after everyone finished eating and left the table, Zhou Chenglei was still there peeling crabs for her and Zhou Zhou.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou went out after eating.
Tian Caihua saw that Jiang Xia ate with gusto and also ate a crab, but she was impatient. She ate the shrimps with their shells. She stood up and took the opportunity to say: "Fourth brother and sister, you eat the most. Wait, wash the dishes and chopsticks after you finish eating!”
Since she can get out of bed to eat, why not do housework?
"Okay." Jiang Xia didn't care. Others made the meal, so it was normal for her to wash the dishes.
Seeing that she was interested, Tian Caihua couldn't help but push the envelope and assign work to Jiang Xia: "Tomorrow, dad and the others will go to sea around four o'clock in the middle of the night. Remember to get up at three o'clock to prepare breakfast and the lunch they will bring. I do all the work every day.”
We are all daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, so we work together on housework.
Why does Jiang Xia not have to do anything? He works so hard to serve a whole family, and why does he still have to serve her?
