Chapter 67 I feel like a queen (3000 words)
Jiang Xia saw Zhou’s father and quickly took out the popsicle in his mouth, “Dad.”
After hearing this, Zhou Chenglei turned his head and shouted. "Dad", and then continued to squeeze her calf.
Jiang Xia shrank her feet and her face felt a little hot: "It's not numb anymore."
Zhou Chenglei still squeezed for a while before standing up.
As soon as Zhou's mother finished cooking, she saw the three of them returning to the door of the house. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, they are all back! I just happened to be cooking, so wash your hands and eat."
< br>Father Zhou: "Full."
Mother Zhou looked at him in surprise: "Full? What did you eat?"
"Sacrifice."
Isn’t he just eating sacrifices for a memorial tablet?
Mother Zhou: "..."
What the hell is a sacrifice?
Mother Zhou's eyes widened as she thought of something: "Old guy, you couldn't have gone to steal the sacrifices in the ancestral hall, right?"
On the way to the dock, you would pass by the ancestral hall and go to the sea. People often go to the ancestral hall to pay their respects to ensure smooth sailing.
“Am I that stupid?” Father Zhou rolled his eyes at her and carried the bucket of fish into the house.
As a father, of course the sacrifices he enjoys are offered by his son. Anyway, the old woman will eat them sooner or later, and you will understand when the time comes.
Mother Zhou thought he was baffled.
Jiang Xia handed Zhou's mother a popsicle: "Mom, I bought it for you."
Zhou's mother ignored Zhou's father, waved her hand, and said with a smile: "I won't eat it. I can't stand it, it will hurt my stomach. You are the only one who likes it. Give it to Zhou Zhou!"
"Dad, do you want to eat it?"
Father Zhou doesn't like to eat: "No."
Mother Zhou said loudly: "Come out quickly, Zhou Zhou. Your little aunt bought you a popsicle and will send one to your little grandpa by the way."
The little grandpa is Zhou Jie, grandma’s grandson.
Zhou Zhou was writing in the room. Ever since Jiang Xia bought Zhou Zhou a new desk, she had been writing on the desk whenever she had free time. She heard a noise and ran out.
Jiang Xia gave her the popsicle: "One for each of you and Grandpa Zhou Jie."
Zhou Zhou took the popsicle and said with a smile: "Thank you, little aunt."
< br>Then he ran out to look for Zhou Jie next door.
Jiang Xia said to Zhou's mother and Zhou's father again: "Dad, Mom, Alei and I bought you a set of clothes. You can try to see if they fit after dinner later."
< br>Zhou Chenglei pushed his bicycle into the yard. When he heard Jiang Xia call him "Lei", he looked at her again and raised his eyebrows slightly.
There was a surprise in Zhou's mother's eyes. She was surprised that her daughter-in-law still missed her when she went to the city, but she was also a little worried about the money. She smiled and said: "We have clothes to wear, what clothes will you buy for us? No need to buy them next time . You don’t have a new house yet, nor do you have any children. You will have more money to spend in the future, so you can keep it for yourself. Your father and I are old and don’t have much to wear.”
"Don't waste it. All the money you earn is spent. Ah Lei said that you have worked hard during this period. Seeing that your clothes are old, he went to the mall to buy them." Jiang Xia wanted to take off the red, white and blue bags on the bicycle.
Seeing this, Zhou Chenglei took it off directly. It was a bit heavy and he didn’t let Jiang Xia pick it up. He handed it to Zhou’s mother: “Mom, the clothes are inside. You can take them in and look for them. Jiang Xia bought them. I didn’t expect these.”< br>
Mother Zhou had no idea that she was being used as a coolie by her son. After hearing what the two of them said, she felt even happier. No matter whether it was her son or her daughter-in-law who thought of buying it, she was happy to be remembered by her child. She happily took it and mentioned it. Go inside.
Father Zhou’s mouth twitched and he looked at the sky speechlessly.
The old woman is so stupid, she has no idea that she will be treated as a coolie just by enjoying her son’s sacrifice!
Zhou Chenglei parked his bicycle.
Jiang Xia touched the dried fish hanging in the yard.
When Zhou's mother saw it, she said, "Your father and I took some to dry on the roof of your eldest brother's house in the morning. Before we got it back, it was already eighty or ninety percent dry. Just dry it for another day tomorrow." ."
"It's too troublesome for you and dad to take it over there."
"What's the trouble! Your dad is too busy to worry about it." The red, white and blue bag was brought to the house, but I was too sensible to open it.
Jiang Xia washed her hands and came in and opened it directly, took out the milk powder and other things inside, dug out the clothes and two pairs of shoes she bought for Zhou's father and Zhou's mother and gave them to them: "Mom and dad, I bought you a set of clothes, try it on if they fit." "Does it fit?"
Mother Zhou liked the style when she saw it. She wiped her hands on the apron before taking it: "Oh, isn't this expensive? Just buy some homespun ones. It's really good and expensive." "
"Mom and dad, try to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I'll go to the city to change it for you in two days." Jiang Xia took out Zhou Zhou's schoolbag, clothes, and shoes and put them away. her room.
Mother Zhou said happily: "I'm going to try it right away."
Mother Zhou asked Father Zhou to try it quickly.
Father Zhou glanced at the shirt and trousers and said calmly: "What's the rush? Let's eat first."
Mother Zhou came to her senses and said, "Yes, let's eat first."
Dinner is fish stew, fresh squid stir-fried with chili, and steamed eggs with shrimps.
From the dried shrimps last time, pick out the smallest ones and keep them for home use. Last time Zhou’s mother heard from Jiang Xia that she would make steamed eggs with shrimps next time, so Zhou’s mother made them for her today.
This was the first time Zhou Mu made it. The steamed eggs were too old, had many pores, and were a bit black, not golden.
She smiled and gave Jiang Xia a big spoonful.
Jiang Xia smiled and thanked her, and ate with satisfaction.
There is nothing more satisfying than having food to eat as soon as you get home.
After dinner, Father Zhou quickly took a shower, put on new clothes and shoes, and went out.
After Zhou Chenglei put away the dishes, Zhou's mother went back to the room, put on new clothes, and went out.
Jiang Xia bought three sets of clothes for Zhou Zhou and asked Zhou Zhou to try them on. They all fit. She was combing Zhou Zhou's pigtails and asked curiously: "My parents are so late, where are they going?" Zhou Chenglei : "In the big tree garden in the village, many people enjoy the shade after eating."
Zhou Zhou also followed: "Uncle Qiang's house is nearby."
< br>Jiang Xia understood, so they went to show off!
So cute!
It's dark right now, will it affect the show-off effect?
It is indeed dark now, almost eight o'clock. Wenwan quarreled with the people in the car and was forced to get out of the car halfway. She ran back to the village and her feet were blistered.
I haven’t eaten all day today. I’m hot, tired, hungry and thirsty. My feet hurt and my face hurts!
When she got home, there was no food left for her, and the whole family was asleep.
With red eyes, Wen Wan drank a large bowl of water, then took two sweet potatoes, peeled them and ate them raw.
She must end this life as soon as possible!
Wen Wan returned to her room and took out a mirror to look at her face. She found that the wound on her forehead was just a shallow scratch with a little blood. It should not leave a scar after it heals, but the left side of her face was swollen. It looks ugly now.
She was a little angry when she thought about Jiang Xia sticking her head out and not reminding herself when she saw it.
She took out the letter Jiang Xia wrote to Wu Qizhi and locked it in the drawer. She would find an opportunity to send it to the Zhou family tomorrow so that Zhou's mother and Zhou Chenglei could see her face clearly.
While eating sweet potatoes, Wen Wan took out the foreign book. This is a children's fairy tale. In her previous life, she went to night school and got an undergraduate diploma. She found a job in a foreign company. In order to get a promotion and a salary increase, she worked hard on English.
Moreover, she had read the Chinese version of this fairy tale book in her previous life. It was a children's book, so it was not a problem for her.
Wen Wan was about to translate, but then she thought of the closeness between Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia.
She put the foreign book aside, took out Jiang Xia's letter, and then took out an old exercise book, and began to practice calligraphy according to the handwriting in the letter.
She is very good at imitating other people's handwriting, and can pass it off as real.
The nights are long and the dreams are many. Since the two have agreed to divorce, let them get divorced as soon as possible!

Zhou Chenglei washed the dishes, poured the shower water for Zhou Zhou, and asked her to take a shower. He asked Jiang Xia: "Will you wash your hair today?"
"Wash." There was so much dust on the road that she felt like she was all dusty.
Zhou Chenglei asked: "Shall I wash it for you?"
Jiang Xia did not refuse this time: "Okay!"
Zhou Chenglei happily moved the recliner and poured hot water.
On a midsummer night, Jiang Xia was lying on a deck chair, listening to the chirping of cicadas and admiring the moon in the sky.
Zhou Chenglei sat in front of her, gently massaging her head and washing her hair.
Zhou Zhou came out of the shower and saw Jiang Xia moving her feet from time to time. He was afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes, so he ran back to the house and took out a big sunflower fan to drive away mosquitoes and fan Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "No, Zhou Zhou, just fan yourself."
Zhou Zhou: "I fanned myself."
The little aunt was so kind to her. She bought her a new desk, a new school bag, new clothes, new shoes, and milk powder. She just wanted to do something for Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia ignored her, but she suddenly felt like a queen and couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Chenglei: "Why are you laughing?"
Jiang Xia: "I just feel like a queen now."
There was a smile in Zhou Chenglei's eyes: "I will wash your hair whenever I can from now on, and let you be the queen for life."
"Okay! You said it yourself, and you do what you say!"
< br>"Yeah." Say it and do it.
After Jiang Xia washed her hair, she went to take a shower.
It was already past eight o'clock, Zhou's father and mother came back smiling, and Zhou Zhou also went back to his room to sleep.
Jiang Xia took a shower and returned to the room. Zhou Chenglei handed her an iron box: "You can keep this from now on."
Jiang Xia knew that this iron box contained Zhou Chenglei's usual money. Put them all here.
She looked at him with a smile: "How much money do you have? Do you have any other private money hidden away?"
Zhou Chenglei said honestly: "More than five thousand yuan, I still have ten yuan in my pocket. "
Jiang Xia joked: "Is ten dollars too much? Men tend to become bad when they have money."
Zhou Chenglei took out ten yuan, opened the box and put it in.
Jiang Xia held his hand: "You're kidding, you usually sell fish, how can you have no money?"
Zhou Chenglei in turn pulled her hand down and held it in his palm: " It's okay. I'm selling fish, not buying fish. I won't carry more than one yuan with me from now on. I'll keep the money for you. If I want to use it, I'll ask you for it."
Jiang Xia looked at him and said seriously: "I'm serious. It doesn't matter how much money you have with you."
Zhou Chenglei also looked at her and raised his hand to push her hair behind her ears, "I know, but I'm not kidding. , isn’t it natural for you to take care of all the money?”
Zhou Chenglei’s voice was very nice, like plucked strings, magnetic and charming, and coupled with the way he looked at her, the atmosphere became ambiguous for some reason. .
Jiang Xia met his burning gaze, and her heartbeat quickened. She subconsciously turned her head and looked elsewhere: "You like it."
Zhou Chenglei pulled her with a smile on his brows and eyes. He got into his arms, hugged her, raised his hands to hold her face, and asked her to look at him.
The two people's eyes intertwined, and Jiang Xia's heart pounded.
He suddenly bent down, lowered his head, and took her lips in his mouth.
