Chapter 20 Sharing the same bed
Zhou Chenglei's hand holding the water spoon accidentally shook, and he quickly picked up the dry towel on the back of the chair and put it around her neck to cover the beautiful spring scenery.
Suddenly a large amount of water flowed down his neck. Jiang Xia, who didn't know anything, quickly wiped his neck with a towel: "It's too fast, slow down, the clothes are all wet."
" Sorry." His voice was slightly hoarse.
After finally helping Jiang Xia wash her hair, Zhou Chenglei helped her carry two large buckets of hot water into the shower room and let her take a bath.
Fortunately, Zhou’s mother had already gone back to the room, otherwise if she had urged them to take a shower together, they wouldn’t know how it would have ended.
After Jiang Xia took a bath, she sat in the yard and blew her hair.
The wind is very comfortable tonight, with a faint smell of sea.
At night in the fishing village, there is no light pollution, and the night sky is filled with stars.
Jiang Xia was combing her hair with a red plastic comb while thinking about what to do next.
She must take the college entrance examination, not only because of her diploma. Only when she is admitted to college can she take out what she has learned in her previous life.
But she cannot take the college entrance examination this year. Time has passed, and she only has one hundred yuan on her. It's definitely not enough. I have to find a way to make money and take the exam again next year.
The exam will be taken next year at the latest, because according to the setting in the book, married people can no longer take the college entrance examination after next year.
Just how to make money?
Zhou Chenglei came out of the shower and saw Jiang Xia looking at the night sky and not knowing what to think, so he said: "The wind is strong in the yard and there are many mosquitoes. Go to bed early when your hair is dry, so as not to catch a cold."< br>
Jiang Xia came back to her senses and glanced at the clothes of the two people in the basin. Her face felt a little hot for no reason. She quickly responded: "Well, I'll go back to the room first."
She just finished washing After coming out of the bath, he took the clothes from her basin.
She said she would wash it herself because she was getting divorced after all.
He glanced at her lightly: "Don't you know how to wash? I have always washed you, not less than these few days."
What else could Jiang Xia say?
Zhou Chenglei waited for Jiang Xia to return to the room and began to wash the clothes the two had changed.
In the room, Jiang Xia's hair has dried.
She was lying on the bed looking at the snow-white old-fashioned mosquito net, listening to the sound of clothes being rubbed outside, and wondering: Will Zhou Chenglei go back to the room to sleep after washing the clothes later?
Probably not! They both agreed to divorce. Zhou Chenglei didn't sleep in the same room with her last night. If they move here tonight, he will have a room by himself.
Not long after, the sound of a door closing was heard in the hall, followed by the sound of a door closing in the next room.
Jiang Xia heard this, turned on the light, and went to sleep.
The cicadas were chirping outside the window, and the sound of the waves could be vaguely heard. The room was very quiet, which was very suitable for sleeping.
After a tiring day, Jiang Xia soon felt sleepy.
In a daze, there was a slight strange noise coming from the tiles on the roof, like something crawling across.
Jiang Xia froze!
She opened her eyes wide and couldn't see anything in the darkness, but she suddenly thought of the two snakes in the room during the day.
I thought of what my great-grandmother said about laying a nest of snake eggs and hatching a nest of snake babies.
Jiang Xia: "..."
I miss you so much, why do you think about this?
No, I probably heard it wrong.
She pulled up the quilt and covered her head.
At this time, there was another strange noise from the tiles on the roof.
The room was too quiet, so I heard it very clearly!
“Zhou Chenglei!”
That scream almost lifted the back of the roof tiles!
Lifting the quilt, opening the mosquito net, getting out of bed, Jiang Xia ran out like a gust of wind.
In the next room, Zhou Chenglei had just taken off his shirt and was about to sleep when he heard a scream and ran out without even wearing any clothes.
Then a black shadow pounced directly on him, hanging on him like a sloth.
"There are snakes! There are snakes on the roof!"
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were frightened and woke up. Only Zhou Zhou was a child, sleeping deeply and snoring.
The two were so frightened that they quickly got out of bed and went out of the room to take a look.
Mother Zhou opened the room door and quickly closed it. "What's wrong with her?" Father Zhou followed her, impatient to be woken up. This was not the first time he had made trouble in the middle of the night.
Mother Zhou pushed Father Zhou to sleep: "It's okay, it's okay, Ah Lei is here! Xiaoxia was probably frightened by the snake during the day and had a nightmare."
Zhou During the day, my mother also heard from my great-grandmother that there was a snake in the house.
Father Zhou ignored it as soon as he heard it. It was just a snake. He could see it every now and then in Xia Tian, and Ah Lei could catch snakes. What was he afraid of?
People from the provincial capital are rare and strange.
The two lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.

In another room, Zhou Chenglei held Jiang Xia in his arms, turned on the light, and looked around with a flashlight.
There was no way, she hugged him too tightly and refused to go to the ground.
Zhou Chenglei held Jiang Xia in his right hand and held a flashlight in his left hand, checking around.
Even if I knew in my heart that it couldn’t be a snake and should be a mouse, I still checked it carefully.
"Look, there are no snakes. It should be rats crawling across the roof. Rats generally don't bite people." After his right ear was injured, he was almost deaf. Only one ear could hear, and his hearing was not that sensitive. , so he didn’t hear it just now, but he could guess it.
Jiang Xia looked around in his arms following the light of the flashlight. There was none, but she was still afraid!
He probably couldn't understand it, but she was just afraid of snakes, very afraid of snakes.
"I dare not sleep alone."
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
*
The floor was washed today and is not dry yet. There was no way to make the floor, so Zhou Chenglei finally carried her back to the next room to get his pillow, thin quilt, and the clothes he had just taken off.
He was used to sleeping topless, but he couldn't sleep topless with her.
Jiang Xia was lying on the inside of the bed, watching him put on a long-sleeved shirt, buttoning it to the top button, and his muscle lines were looming under the shirt...
Zhou Chenglei turned off the light, Sit on the bed, tuck the mosquito net, and lie down.
"Go to sleep!" The man's voice was low and a little hoarse.
There is a distance between the two of them, and a thin quilt is placed between them.
Jiang Xia closed her eyes in peace.
In midsummer in August, there are no fans or air conditioners. The smell of the people around him is so hot that it is impossible to ignore. Jiang Xia feels a little hot and a little dry.
Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. In her last life, she was almost as old as a wolf and a tiger...
What are you thinking about? Jiang Xia was startled by her random thoughts. She turned over and faced the wall. She gently kicked off the thin quilt and hugged her. She put aside the yellow waste in her mind, listened to the sound of cicadas and waves, and forced herself to think about nothing. ,sleep.
Zhou Chenglei was also hot, and he was covered with thin quilts.
The bed is 1.5 meters long. It is a bit close for two people to lie down, so it is safer to be covered with a quilt.
Feeling Jiang Xia kick off the quilt, he asked: "Is it hot?"
Jiang Xia stiffened and replied: "Well, it's hot.".
It is normal to be hot in August.
Zhou Chenglei opened the quilt, got up from the bed, took a big sunflower fan, lay back down, and gently fanned the two of them.
The wind blown out by the big sunflower fan is gentle, soft and cool, just enough to make people feel neither cold nor hot.
Maybe it was because the wind was too comfortable, or maybe it was because the breath of the people around him was clear and calm, which made people feel at ease. Jiang Xia's breathing soon became clear and shallow.
Zhou Chenglei felt that the people around him were asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. He wanted to get two buckets of well water to take a shower. It was too hot.
But as soon as he moved, the people around him turned around and put their hands and feet on him.
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
It was not until early in the morning that Zhou Chenglei fell asleep. It seemed that he had not slept for long when the voices of his parents talking quietly came from outside the house.
Zhou Chenglei opened his eyes: We are going to sea!
