After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 14: The heroine again?

Zhou Chenglei's eyes originally fell on Jiang Xia's hands. After hearing this, he turned around 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 say any words of praise. He only said: " You guys sit down and I'll throw away these weeds."

Then he went out carrying two snakeskin bags of weeds.

Humans are social animals, so villagers' houses are usually concentrated in a certain place.

There were many neighbors in the Zhou family's old house. Many villagers passed by the Zhou family for half the morning. Soon, most of the village knew that the Zhou family was separated.

Zhou Chenglei moved Jiang Xia to the old house.

The women gathered together to mend the fishing nets and discussed the 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 is causing trouble. She doesn't seem to be a person who can live a good life. She broke up the family. Whoever marries such a woman will be unlucky!"

"Zhou Chenglei and his wife live in an old house with their elders, but his wife is willing? I see her very happy cleaning the yard, with a smile on her face. Girls in the city are different, their skin is so white that they smile more than TV stars It’s beautiful, so beautiful, like a fairy.”

"What's the use of being beautiful? You can see she can't even hold a hoe, and she can't do anything at first glance! Why are you marrying her? Just for decoration?"

"It's so beautiful, it's useless, it will run away with people! The top of Zhou Chenglei's head is like the grass in the yard, haha"

Zhou Chenglei suddenly stood in front of them, holding a snakeskin bag of weeds in one hand.

Several 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 was looking for her to talk about the college entrance examination. Aunts, please don't misunderstand me. I don't want to hear these words again in the future, and it will be even worse if she hears them. no."

After Zhou Chenglei finished speaking, he passed by them carrying two large bags of grass with an expressionless expression.

He didn't know why he stopped to say this. He never cared about these rumors.

Rumors spread and dissipated.

Probably because of the blisters on her palms.

Zhou Chenglei joined the army after graduating from junior high school. After more than ten years of service, he had been on the battlefield and killed enemies. When he was angry, his aura of killing everyone was beyond the ability of a few village women.

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 had never tried it before. 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.

Grandma pulled her 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!"

The grandma smiled and continued to give instructions: "It's 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, and Jiang Xia rushed towards the mouth of the well. She quickly let go, and the bucket fell back into the well, and she was pulled He stumbled and crashed into a strong chest.

The great-grandmother also stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Chenglei is back. Xiaoxia, you are weak, so don't fetch water."

Zhou Chenglei pulled her a few steps away from the well before letting her go. His heartbeat had not yet calmed down, and he said with a dark face, "Didn't you tell me to sit down? Don't you know that there is danger around the well? Do you have any common sense?"

Jiang Xia was not afraid, "It's okay, I just had no experience, and the soles of my shoes were stained with mud, and it was wet here, so it slipped a bit. I'll just fill it up with half a bucket and half a bucket next time."

Grandma nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, half a bucket and half a bucket."

"Don't fetch water from now on." Zhou Chenglei said directly.

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."

Jiang Xia: "."

Grandma, you only know how to say yes, right?

You're right about everyone else's words, but this is just 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 Zhou Chenglei was indeed a bit scary when he had a straight face, so she let it go.

At this time, Zhou's father came back and bought a cart of tiles, followed by a cart of sand and cement.

"Auntie is here? Ah Lei, come over and remove the tiles. This is your Uncle Wen."

Zhou Chenglei took out a small bottle from his trouser pocket and gave it to Jiang Xia: "Sprinkle some medicine on the wound on your hand."

Then he walked over to help and said hello to the delivery person, "Uncle Wen."

Grandma also walked over: "I bought so many tiles."

"Many tiles have fallen off." Zhou's father talked to his great-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 cart range from sheet to semi-cylindrical, and there is a cart of sand and two bags of cement behind them, all 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 was a little strange. Didn't the male protagonist and the female protagonist get to know each other after the female protagonist was swept away by the waves and the male protagonist rescued her?

I’ve seen this 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.

When Wen Wan saw Jiang Xia was still there, she was startled: 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. Wen Wan 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 tiles to repair the leaks. She felt that Zhou Chenglei must He knew how to mend tile leaks, so he followed her on the pretext of helping her father push the cart.

She wanted to have contact 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.

But why is Jiang Xia 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 for a moment and then looked away. She came to Zhou's father and asked, "Dad, are there enough tiles?"

Father Zhou glanced at the roof: "It should be about the same. The main house must be enough. If the space in the kitchen is not enough, buy some and repair it 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 when the time came.

He moved 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're not smart at all!"

Being scolded in front of Zhou Chenglei's face, Wen Wan blushed a little, but she still stepped forward to Zhou Chenglei's side, lowering her head to move the tiles, which seemed a bit pitiful.

The two were a little close.

Zhou Chenglei took a few steps back and said, "I don't need your help. Go sit on the threshold stone and take a rest."

Wen Wan replied softly in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
