Chapter 8 Family Separation (1)
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment and asked: "Separation, where should we move to?"
Jiang Xia didn't want to stay, but others who traveled through time would accept the original owner. memory, but she didn't.
No memory at all!
She doesn’t even know which direction the door to her parents’ home is, so how can she get back to her parents’ home?
So Zhou Chenglei didn't give her a letter of introduction, so she had no choice but to stay.
“The old house in the past, decades old, is very dilapidated and cannot be compared with this house. Moreover, that house is closer to the sea and will be a bit damp. I don’t know if you can bear it.” Zhou Chenglei Tell her the truth and let her choose, lest she can't stand it and make all kinds of trouble.
Jiang Xia doesn’t care, as long as she has a place to stay: “It doesn’t matter to me.”
Zhou Chenglei doesn’t think it doesn’t matter to her. She is not used to this new house, and she is probably even more worried about the old one. Can't stand it.
But if she can't bear it, she can go back to her parents' home.
"I'll go talk to my parents about the separation. You go to bed early."
Then Zhou Chenglei went out.
After Zhou Chenglei went out, Jiang Xia didn't come back when her hair was dry. He probably didn't come back to sleep. It was okay. After all, they weren't familiar with each other and it was a bit awkward to sleep in the same bed. She closed the door and turned on the light. sleep.
Drowsily, she felt someone come in and touch her forehead, then go out again.
People who have a fever tend to relapse in the middle of the night. Zhou Chenglei was worried and came over to check on her. Seeing that she no longer had a fever, he went back to his nephew's room to lay the floor.
The next day, Jiang Xia was woken up by the crow of roosters. It was not yet dawn, probably around 5:30, but she went to bed around 10 o'clock last night and woke up feeling refreshed.
There were whispers and some work activities outside. Jiang Xia didn't have the habit of staying in bed, so she got up and walked out.
In the courtyard, Tian Caihua was shredding sweet potatoes and cooking sweet potato porridge. Seeing Jiang Xia getting up so early, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello: "Fourth brother and sister, you are not feeling well so early, it will be better if you sleep more. "Point."
She was obviously in a good mood. She already knew that Zhou Chenglei was going to separate, so she decided not to argue with Jiang Xia.
Mother Zhou was chopping shredded vegetables to feed the chickens. She saw that Jiang Xia was in a depressed mood, and the whole family was broken up by her!
She still asked with concern: "Has the fever gone?"
The younger son said last night that he would not divorce and separate the family. No matter how dissatisfied Jiang Xia is, Zhou's mother still has to endure it, otherwise her son will be caught in the middle and it will be her son who suffers the anger.
Her son went to the army when he was a teenager. He went to the battlefield for more than ten years and came back alive after narrowly avoiding death. He did not come home to be upset.
Others don’t feel sorry for her son, but she does!
As long as Jiang Xia is willing to live a good life with her son, she will tolerate whatever is wrong with her.
Who makes the son reluctant to divorce.
Others show concern when they speak, and Jiang Xia is not a ungrateful person. She greets with a smile: "Retreat, Mom, don't worry. What's for breakfast, sister-in-law? I'll do it!"
Salutation It's still a bit unnatural for Zhou's mother to be a mother, but she can't get divorced for the time being, and she has to cry if she's not used to it.
As soon as Zhou's mother heard this, she said, "You don't have to do anything. If you don't cause trouble, I will be happy with Amitabha. Good luck!"
The resentment towards her was brought out unconsciously. Jiangxia: "..."
Tian Caihua also feels that Jiang Xia doesn't know how to do it, she just talks about it, but the family is about to be separated. After today's work, she doesn't have to wait on her, so there is no need to care.
She was in a good mood today and said with a smile: "No, no, it's almost done. I'll put the sweet potatoes into the porridge and boil it again, and then you can eat it. Go and wash your face!" "
Tian Caihua neatly poured the chopped sweet potato shreds into the white porridge that was boiling on the small stove, pushed the firewood in a little more, increased the firepower, and cooked the porridge quickly.
You can have breakfast when it is cooked, and you can separate after having breakfast.
Jiang Xia went to wash her face and brush her teeth. Just after brushing her teeth and washing her face, Zhou Chenglei also came back from outside at this time, covered in sweat, obviously coming back from running.
Zhou Chenglei was obviously startled when he saw Jiang Xia getting up so early, and subconsciously asked: "Why are you getting up so early? Are you dizzy? Don't have a fever yet?"
Received another one early in the morning Jiang Xia has never experienced this feeling of caring from one person. Even though she knew that the other person didn't really care, she still felt a little warm and said with a smile: "It's okay, much better."
Zhou Chenglei saw that her complexion was rosy, Without saying anything else, he fetched two buckets of water and went to take a shower and brush his teeth.
The porridge was not cooked so quickly. Jiang Xia helped Zhou’s mother chop the sweet potato leaves and asked her if they were for feeding the chickens.
Zhou’s mother was afraid at first that she would chop her hands off, but she was quite surprised when she saw that she was chopping her hands quickly and well, “No, it will be cooked for pigs later.”
“Oh, I still need pig food. Have you cooked it? "
Seeing Jiang Xia's interest, Zhou's mother talked to her and taught her some things.
My son and she have been separated from each other. She knows better and her son is more relaxed.
Then Jiang Xia learned that the Zhou family raised three big fat pigs, a cow, a dozen chickens and ducks each, and a group of chicks that had just been hatched ten days ago.
The pigs need to be fed, and the cows need to be let out to graze. The work of herding cows is usually done by the children at home. As long as the ducks rush to the beach, they will find small fish and shrimps to eat, and then they can catch them back. The chickens can also be put in the bamboo forest in the morning and let them find food on their own, but they must also be fed a meal in the evening.
Chickens need to be handled more carefully. Feed them rice. If they are fed vegetable leaves, they need to be chopped. If they are older, the old hen can take them out to forage. No one steals it, it happens in every household. All you need to do is mark the chickens, geese, and ducks, such as cutting off the tail or a tuft of hair on the top of the head, tying the feet with a rope, etc.
The two finished cutting a lot of sweet potato vines, Jiang Xia cleaned the yard, and the porridge was ready for breakfast.
Breakfast only had sweet potato porridge, but the sweet potato porridge was delicious. It had the sweetness and softness of sweet potatoes and the salty flavor of shrimps. Jiang Xia ate two bowls.
After breakfast, Guangzong Yaozu and Xiao Zhou Zhou carried their schoolbags and walked to school. Zhou's father called the family into the hall to talk about the separation.
"You brothers have already gotten married, and it's time to separate. The second brother bought a house in the town a while ago and was the first to separate. When he bought the house, your mother and I paid two thousand yuan. Then They agreed at that time that the house in the divided family would have nothing to do with them."
Tian Caihua pursed her lips, why was she dissatisfied? Just because of this! She and Zhou Chengxin were uneducated and had no jobs. Zhou Chenglei could have worked in the town government after returning from the army, but he didn't do it. He gave up and gave up the job opportunity to his second son, without caring that he was still at home. The fishing brother.
The second child was a cadre in the brigade at the time and already had a job!
Why doesn’t Zhou Chenglei give up his job to his elder brother? Looking down on his eldest brother who just graduated from elementary school?
Then Zhou Chenglei married Jiang Xia and came back. She didn’t do any housework. She cooked for the whole family by herself, took care of the elderly and both of them. Why didn’t she get any benefits? Waiting on the couple?
Father Zhou continued: "Chenglei told Chengxin about this new house, and he and Jiang Xia will move to the old house."
Tian Caihua's eyes lit up!
