Chapter 14: The heroine again?
Zhou Chenglei's eyes originally fell on Jiang Xia's hands. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at the clean ground she had hoed. He was also surprised that she learned so quickly, but he had a cold temperament and could not express his praise. Then he just said: "You guys sit down, I will throw away these weeds."
Then he went out carrying two snakeskin bags of weeds.
Humans are social animals, so villagers’ houses are generally built in a certain place.
The Zhou family’s old house had many neighbors. Many villagers passed the Zhou family back and forth for half the morning. Soon, most of the people in the village knew that the Zhou family had separated.
Zhou Chenglei moved Jiang Xia to the old house.
The women gathered together to repair the fishing nets and were discussing this matter.
"Why did the Zhou family suddenly separate?"
"Do you even need to ask? You can guess with your toes that it must be the educated daughter-in-law who caused the trouble. At first glance, it is not possible People who live a happy life will break up their families. Whoever marries this kind of woman will be unlucky!”
“Zhou Chenglei and his wife are willing to live in an old house. I think she is very happy to clean the yard? , with a smile on her face. The girls in the city are different. Their skin is so white and their smile is prettier than that of TV stars. They are so beautiful, like gods.”
"What's the use of being beautiful? You can see that she can't even hold a hoe, and she can't do anything at first glance! Why did she marry her? To be used as a decoration?"
"She's too beautiful, it's useless, she can't do anything!" Run with others! The top of Zhou Chenglei's head is like the grass in that yard, haha"
Zhou Chenglei suddenly stood in front of them with a snakeskin bag of weeds in one hand.
A few people raised their heads and fell silent for a moment.
"That's wrong, she wasn't running with someone that day. That person was her high school classmate, and I knew her too. I came to talk to her about the college entrance examination. Aunts, please don't misunderstand me. I don't want to hear these words again in the future. , it’s even worse if she hears it.”
After Zhou Chenglei finished speaking, he passed by them carrying two large bags of grass with no expression on his face.
He didn't know why he stopped to say this. He never cared about these rumors.
Rumors spread as they spread.
Probably because of the blisters on her palms.
Zhou Chenglei joined the army after graduating from junior high school. After more than ten years as a soldier, he had been on the battlefield and killed enemies. When he was angry, how could a few village women bear the aura of killing everyone? of.
Several women watched him go away without daring to breathe. They didn't dare to speak until he came back after throwing away the garbage. Even when he walked by, a few of them lowered their heads and pretended to be serious about weaving fishnets.
It wasn't until Zhou Chenglei's back disappeared completely that they breathed a sigh of relief. They continued to be quiet for a long time before anyone spoke, and they made a tacit agreement not to discuss the Zhou family's affairs.
*
When Zhou Chenglei came back from taking out the garbage, his great-grandmother was teaching Jiang Xia to fetch water with a bucket.
The well in the old house was not equipped with a hand pump. When fetching water, the bucket tied with a rope was directly thrown into the well and then pulled up.
Jiang Xia never tried it. She threw a bucket into the well. The bucket floated on the water and could not sink completely no matter how hard she tossed it. After a long time, it only filled half of the bucket of water.
My grandma pulled me up and demonstrated again. After two attempts, she finally succeeded in submerging the bucket into the water and filling it with water.
She said happily: "Okay!"
My grandma smiled and continued to give instructions: "It's really amazing, you can learn it as soon as you learn it! Be careful and pull it up. It is easier to exert force when the rope is wrapped around your arm... ..."
Jiang Xia happily pulled the bucket up, but she overestimated the strength of her body, so the bottom of her foot slipped when the bucket was pulled halfway. Jiang Xia rushed towards the mouth of the well. She quickly let go and the bucket fell. When she returned to the well, she was pulled and staggered, and bumped into a strong chest.
The great-grandmother also reached out to hold her, with lingering fear in her heart: "Fortunately, Chenglei is back. Xiaoxia, you are weak, so you better not fetch water."
Zhou Chenglei pulled her away from the well for a few steps before letting her go. Before he could calm down, he said with a dark face: "Didn't you tell me to sit down? Don't you know the danger at the well? Do you have any common sense?"
Jiang Xia was not afraid, "It's okay, just because I was inexperienced. And the soles of my shoes are muddy, and they are slippery. I’ll just fill them up with half a bucket and half a bucket next time.”
My grandma nodded: “Yes, yes, yes, half a bucket and half.” Here comes the bucket."
"Don't fetch water anymore," Zhou Chenglei said directly.
My grandma nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, don't fetch water from now on, there is Ah Lei! He is very strong, let him fetch. Falling into the well is no joke."
< br>Jiang Xia: "."
Grandma, you just know what to say, right?
You are right about everyone else’s words. This is very stupid, do you know?
Zhou Chenglei didn't say much. He picked up the rope that fell on the ground, easily fetched a bucket of water, and lifted it up. Jiang Xia thinks she can do it too. It was really an accident just now.
But it was a bit scary when Zhou Chenglei had a straight face, so she let it go.
At this time Father Zhou came back and bought a cart of tiles, followed by a cart of sand and cement.
"Auntie is here? Ah Lei, come here and unload the tiles. This is your Uncle Wen."
Zhou Chenglei took out a small bottle from his trouser pocket and gave it to Jiang Xia: "Hand Sprinkle some medicine on the wound."
Then he walked over to help and said hello to the delivery person, "Uncle Wen."
Grandma also walked over: "Buy. There are so many tiles.”
“Many tiles have fallen off.” Father Zhou was talking to his grandmother while working.
Jiang Xia glanced at the small bottle and wondered what kind of medicine it was. She stuffed it into her trouser pocket and walked over.
The tiles on the pallet truck range from sheet-shaped to semi-cylindrical. There is also a truck of sand and two bags of cement at the back, both of which were delivered with help from others.
Jiang Xia also saw that the person helping push the cart was a young girl.
The heroine again?
She is a little strange. Didn’t the male protagonist and the female protagonist only meet after the female protagonist was swept away by the waves and the male protagonist rescued her?
I met you twice in advance!
Sure enough, people with fate will always meet.
Jiang Xia thought: She should find a way to make money and move out as soon as possible.
Wen Wan was startled when she saw Jiang Xia was still there: Why is she still there?
Shouldn't she and Zhou Chenglei have divorced early in the morning, and then she just didn't come back to the small fishing village?
The Way Kiln happened to be in Wenwan's village. Wen's father worked in the Way Kiln. Wenwan would also help step on the mud and break the tile cylinders when he had time. She knew Zhou's father and saw him buying and repairing tiles. She felt that Zhou Chenglei would definitely be able to repair the leaks, so she followed over on the pretext of helping her father push the cart.
She wanted to get in touch with Zhou Chenglei as soon as possible, and also wanted to have more contact with the Zhou family so that she could marry into the Zhou family as soon as possible.
She can get married first and then take the college entrance examination.
Why is Jiangxia still there?
She glanced at Jiang Xia: her face was gray and her clothes were stained with a lot of mud. She was also helping to repair the house?
What's going on?
She wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask.
Jiang Xia looked at her and then looked away. She came to Zhou's father and asked, "Dad, are there enough tiles?"
Zhou's father glanced at the roof: "It should be about the same. The main house must be enough. If there is not enough room in the kitchen, buy some and repair them slowly."
Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia, and then motioned to the delivery person to unload the things under the eaves so that they could be handed over.
He moved the two bags of cement directly to the eaves.
Father Zhou helped move the tiles.
Jiang Xia also went to help move the tiles.
Seeing Wen Wan standing still, Father Wen shouted, "Why don't you come to help? Why are you standing there? You are not clever at all!"
Wen Wan was scolded in front of Zhou Chenglei's face, Wen Wan blushed a little, but still stepped forward to Zhou Chenglei's side, lowering her head to move the tiles, a bit pitiful.
The two of them were a little close.
Zhou Chenglei took a few steps back: "I don't need your help, go sit on the threshold stone and have a rest."
Wen Wan replied softly in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
