Chapter 201 Did Jiang Xia do it on purpose? !
When Zhou Chenglei returned to the room, he gave the red envelope to Jiang Xia, saying that it was from his second brother, and relayed what Zhou Chengsen said.
Jiang Xia took it and said, "Then I'll register. I'll give this red envelope to my parents tomorrow, and we won't accept it. We'll return it if there are any favors from the second brother in the future!"
"Well, you just have to make the decision." Zhou Chenglei knew she could handle this.
He picked her up horizontally, put his forehead against hers, and said in a lazy voice: "It's night, sleep?"
Jiang Xia was picked up and subconsciously hugged his neck. , their foreheads touch each other.
His cold breath from the bath surrounded her.
Jiang Xia reminded him: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you have to get up early."
"Well, then go to bed early and get up early."
The man put her on the bed.
...
The wind is very strong tonight, the moonlight is very bright, and it falls softly on the yard.
In the middle of the night, when something happened, Jiang Xia vaguely saw Zhou Chenglei going to open the window for ventilation.
The wind blows the curtains, and the silver light fills the desk, making the room gentle.
After twelve o'clock it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival is so gentle!
Jiang Xia fell asleep just thinking about it, and she didn't even know that Zhou Chenglei was helping her wipe her body.
Anyway, he will always take good care of her, very well.
***
“Goose feathers, duck feathers for matches!”
"Goose feathers, duck feathers are exchanged for matches!"
...
Jiang Xia opened her eyes amidst the loud sounds of "goose feathers, duck feathers are exchanged for matches".
She took out her watch and looked at it: the time was not very late, only about seven o'clock.
Zhou Chenglei didn’t know when he got up.
After Jiang Xia changed her clothes and left the yard, she saw Zhou Chenglei, Zhou Chengxin and Zhou's father and son were killing geese, chickens and ducks, two of each, one of which was the chicken, goose and duck. I took it to Father Jiang and Mother Jiang.
Zhou's mother was running out with a dustpan in one hand and shouting: "I have two goose feathers and two duck feathers here, let's change the matches!"
Jiang Xia also heard Zhou's mother Distant voice: "How many boxes of matches can one goose feather be exchanged for?"
When Zhou Chenglei saw Jiang Xia getting up, he washed his hands and stood up: "Breakfast is in the pot, I will help you take it out."
Jiang Xia went to the shower room to brush her teeth and wash her face: "I can just take it myself in a while, you are busy with your work."
Zhou Chenglei went to the kitchen to get her breakfast.
Breakfast is a bowl of sea cucumber and scallop porridge, a boiled egg, a corn and two milk yam.
Li Xiuxian just got up when Jiang Xia was having breakfast. As soon as she left the room, she saw Jiang Xia sitting there eating breakfast. There was a sea cucumber in the bowl of porridge. She was the only one in the family who had this kind of treatment. She couldn't help but said: "The fourth brother and sister are so lucky. They have sea cucumber porridge to eat every day when they wake up."
Jiang Xia smiled: "There are a lot of these things in the sea. If the second sister-in-law wants to eat, just ask the second brother to go to the sea and fish it for you."< br>
Li Xiuxian: "..."
At this time, Zhou's mother came in with a few boxes of matches. Knowing that the second daughter-in-law was tired of it, she explained: "Xiao Xia is weak and can't adapt to us. Living at the seaside, I got wet and got a fever at night. A Lei caught the sea cucumber and was reluctant to sell it, so he kept it for Xiao Xia to nourish his body. "
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "It's effective. I haven't had a fever recently."
Mother Zhou laughed after hearing this: "That's good. Let Ah Lei go to the bottom of the sea and fish back more. Now, It’s not cold yet and you can still go into the water. If you catch more, you’d better be able to eat it for a year and a half, even if you have children.”
After saying this, Mother Zhou couldn’t help but take a look. Jiang Xia smiled kindly on her belly.
The couple are so hardworking, right? They have a child, right?
Jiang Xia: "..."
Speaking of the children, Li Xiuxian felt uncomfortable, and she walked away.
She felt that Mother Zhou was saying that she could not have a son and was not worthy of eating sea cucumbers!
Why didn’t she say it was good to eat sea cucumbers when she was pregnant with Yingying? If she had used sea cucumber to replenish her body, she wouldn't have been pregnant for so long after giving birth to Yingying.
It’s Li Xiuxian’s pain that she can’t have another son now. If I only gave birth to a daughter in the village, I would always be criticized, questioned, and looked down upon.
People in this coastal area have the idea of raising children to protect themselves in old age, and they all prefer boys over girls. Even Li Xiuxian herself has this idea.
She really wanted to have another son, but the family planning policy was much stricter now. The couple worked in the workplace and could only have one child. Even if she was willing to give up her job as a teacher to have another son, Zhou Chengsen was not willing.
Mother Zhou didn’t say much. She was looking forward to having her grandson, but she also knew that there was no rush. Her youngest son and daughter-in-law had already worked very hard, and the solid bed was shaking, so what else could be done? ?
We can’t put any more pressure on them. It’s even harder to get pregnant if you’re under pressure.
Today's lunch was also eaten by the three families together. Zhou Chenglei lit the fire, Jiang Xia cooked the vegetables, and the others helped.
There were only the couple in the kitchen. Jiang Xia thought of Zhou Zhou's question and said, "Zhou Chenglei, how about we adopt Zhou Zhou?"
Zhou Chenglei raised his head and looked at her.
The fire in the stove flickered on and off, making his facial features become more clear-cut, and there was a trace of surprise on his usually cold and handsome face.
"What happened?" he asked in a low voice.
Zhou Chenglei was just surprised, not opposed.
He believed that Jiang Xia would not adopt the third brother's child for no reason, but if he adopted it, to his parents, it would be equivalent to the death of the third brother.
His parents couldn't get through this matter.
Jiang Xia told the story about Zhou Zhou being bullied by his classmates at school. She added: "It's just an adoption in name only, with such a title on the household registration book. Zhou Zhou is still the third brother's child. , I still call us brother-in-law and aunt. I feel that as the child grows older, she will have to fill in the parent column in many information for school. Having no father or mother will make her feel inferior. We are her confidence. "
Zhou Chenglei: "My parents will probably disagree."
Jiang Xia: "So you go and convince them!"
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
It's not that easy to convince.
***
The three families had lunch together and it was very sumptuous. Chickens, geese, ducks, and seafood filled the table, making it lively.
The children were busy playing and quickly finished their meal and ran out while the adults were still eating.
Zhou Chenglei took advantage of the fact that the children were away and the adults were here, so he told him that he wanted to adopt Zhou Zhou into his own name.
Jiang Xia then added: "Zhou Zhou is still the third brother's child, and he still calls me and A Lei aunt and uncle, but in terms of the household registration book, they are our adopted daughters."
< br>The whole family was dumbfounded after hearing this.
Even Zhou’s father looked at Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei in surprise.
Tian Caihua was most confused: "Why? You adopted Zhou Zhou, so Xiaoxia, if you give birth to a daughter for the first time, you can't have a second child, right?"
Zhou's mother also immediately thought of Jiang Xia's household registration They still have urban household registration, and the younger son’s household registration has not been transferred back. They can only have one child now! If they adopt Zhou Zhou, will they not be able to have children of their own? Although the household registration can be transferred back to the village, the first child is a girl and she can have a second child.
But now the family planning policy is getting stricter every year. Who knows what will happen next year.
Mother Zhou has no idea what the significance of this is! After all, it was up to them as a couple to adopt Zhou Zhou or not. If they established the relationship in the household registration book, they would cut off their own future.
Mother Zhou said: "Isn't this necessary? Why should we adopt the name of you and your wife? I don't think it is necessary. You don't have a child yet, so why adopt it?"
Zhou's father also couldn't understand the meaning of Wangcai and his wife's marriage, so he asked: "Alei, why do you have such a plan? If you adopt, won't your third brother be the last to have children?"
Zhou Chenglei : "I just wanted to keep him with my third brother before I thought of adoption. Otherwise, if Zhou Zhou's mother came to take Zhou Zhou away in the future, we would have no reason not to let others take him away."
Zhou's father heard. Yan was stunned for a moment, seeming to be thinking about this possibility.
Tian Caihua pursed her lips: "How many years has she remarried? If she wanted to take Zhou Zhou away, she would have taken her away! You are thinking too much!"
Li Xiuxian: "It's really possible. The last time I took Yingying to the health center for medical treatment, I saw her going to the gynecologist and heard her asking the doctor why there was nothing wrong with the examination, but she didn’t get pregnant for so long.”
After hearing this, Zhou's mother thought that her third daughter-in-law had remarried for so many years, and it seemed that she hadn't given birth to a child yet. She was getting older and there was a real possibility that she wouldn't be able to give birth. She might not be able to take Zhou Zhou away in the future.
Mother Zhou: "But it can't be adopted by you and your wife, you don't have any children of your own!"
Mother Zhou looked at Zhou Chengsen and Li Xiuxian: "Asen, how about Zhou Zhou's The household registration is transferred to your account?”
Li Xiuxian’s face changed.
She never imagined that this would happen to her!
If I had known she would have stopped talking!
No!
Li Xiuxian looked at Jiang Xia, she did it on purpose!
