The soft lips brushed against his arm, and Zhou Chenglei's heart skipped a beat as if he had been electrocuted, and he quickly retracted his hand.

Jiang Xia's face flushed instantly, and she retreated quickly, only to bump into the bamboo chair on the tractor again!

Zhou Chenglei quickly held it down, his long arm propped above her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move, I'll move it. You go back to the house first."

"Okay." Jiang Xia was trapped between the tractor and him, her face even hotter. It was too awkward, she couldn't stay any longer, and she carefully slipped out from under his long arm.

Zhou Chenglei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the weather was even hotter than at noon.

Jiang Xia ran into the yard and remembered that she hadn't taken the vegetable basket and fruit.

She turned around and walked back to the driver's seat, picked up the vegetable basket and carried it back to the house, and then went to move the fruit and geese that Jiang Yang had sent.

It was a bit heavy, and she was having a little trouble moving it.

Zhou Chenglei was unloading the furniture from the tractor, and Mother Zhou and Great-Grandmother were helping to hold it. When he saw this, he said, "Leave it there, I'll move it later."

Jiang Xia: "It's okay, I can do it."

Jiang Xia carried a goose weighing more than ten pounds off the tractor.

Mother Zhou asked, "Why did you buy two geese?"

Zhou Chenglei: "Jiang Yang sent them."

Mother Zhou: "That child is always sending this and that. Remember to send him some dried fish another day."

"Okay."

Mother Zhou added, "Jiang Yang went to the army with you back then. His two children must be six or seven years old, right?"

"About that." Zhou Chenglei replied casually, holding the backs of two bamboo chairs in one hand. He walked to Jiang Xia's side, easily picked up the bag in her hand with one hand, walked into the yard, placed the bamboo chairs and the bag of fruit under the eaves, and went out to continue moving the other tables and chairs.

Mother Zhou carried two bamboo chairs in and followed, "Then you two should also work harder!"

This time Zhou Chenglei didn't answer.

Jiang Xia wouldn't answer even more, her face was still burning.

Great-Grandmother carried two bamboo chairs in and said with a smile, "How long have they been married? What are you rushing for? I'm telling you, don't rush this matter. The more you rush, the less likely the child will come. If you don't care, he will come quietly."

When Mother Zhou heard this, she didn't dare to say anything. The fact was that she couldn't rush it. Some people couldn't get pregnant the more they rushed.

She walked out to continue helping move the tables and chairs.

Jiang Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't go to help. She planned to wash some fruit for everyone to eat.

She went to the kitchen, found a bamboo basket, picked up the mangoes and grapes, and put them in the basket, revealing two large watermelons.

She carried a watermelon to the well and washed the skin clean with the water that was already in the bucket.

It was too hot, and she planned to cut the watermelon so that everyone could eat it after moving the furniture.

It was just that the watermelon hadn't been chilled. The weather was so hot that the flesh of the watermelon was probably warm, but the watermelon had a lot of water, so it could at least quench their thirst.

Zhou Chenglei carried a bamboo bed in and put it down. When he saw this, he walked over, picked up the watermelon and threw it into the well.

"Hey, what are you doing? What if the watermelon sinks?" Jiang Xia anxiously leaned her head to look into the well.

She saw the watermelon submerged in the water, splashing a burst of water, and then it floated up again.

Jiang Xia: "..."

It wouldn't sink? Zhou Chenglei pulled her away from the well a few steps: "It won't sink. Didn't you want to cool the watermelon down? Put it in the well to chill it. When you hang it up in the evening, it will be ice-cold inside."

This was the first time Jiang Xia had seen this, and she nodded, "Oh."

"Don't get so close to the well." Zhou Chenglei instructed again, not wanting her to worry, and continued to move things.

The watermelon couldn't be eaten for the time being, but there were other fruits. Jiang Xia washed the grapes and myrtle berries clean and put them in the fruit basket. Then, she peeled the last pineapple clean, diagonally cutting off the black thorns in circles, and then divided it into six pieces and soaked them in salt water made with cold boiled water.

Finally, she took a few mangoes, cut them open, and diced the mango flesh, putting them in a large bowl.

After finishing all this, Zhou Chenglei and the others had also moved all the things into the house and arranged them.

Jiang Xia took a rag and wiped the newly bought coffee table clean, and then put a few plates of fruit on the coffee table.

Jiang Xia smiled and invited them to eat fruit.

Zhou Chenglei drank a porcelain mug of water and said, "You guys eat, I'll go return the tractor."

Jiang Xia grabbed his sleeve, "What's the rush? It's not too late to return it after eating."

Great-Grandmother walked over with a smile and sat on the new wooden sofa, "That's right, return it after eating fruit, it won't make a difference! Oh my, this bench is comfortable!"

Mother Zhou saw the fruit on the table and felt a pang of heartache. Who eats so much fruit at once? It must have cost a lot of money, right? She thought of her several grandsons, "A Guang and his brothers haven't had fruit in a long time. How much fruit did you buy? Is there any left? I'll give them some..."

Great-Grandmother picked a grape and stuffed it into Mother Zhou's mouth, stopping her from saying what she was about to say, "These grapes are sweet, try them!"

Mother Zhou: "..."

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Why worry so much? The most taboo thing for parents-in-law is to be muddle-headed, eating from this son while thinking about the other son, wishing they could take everything from this son's family to subsidize the other son.

Jiang Xia used a toothpick to pick up a piece of pineapple and handed it to Zhou Chenglei, "Try it first to see if it's sweet."

Zhou Chenglei glanced at her before taking the pineapple from her hand, his large palm inadvertently touching her hand.

Jiang Xia felt her heart skip a beat, and thinking of that moment, her face flushed again. She quickly lowered her head and picked out a piece of pineapple for Great-Grandmother and Mother Zhou, handing it to them.

After Zhou Chenglei finished eating the pineapple, he peeled grapes. After peeling them, he didn't eat them himself, but put the half bowl of grape pulp in front of Jiang Xia, "I'll go return the tractor."

Then he stood up and walked out.

Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at him. His long legs crossed the threshold, his figure was tall and straight, and his back was outstanding.

She withdrew her gaze, picked a grape and put it in her mouth, it was very sweet.

Great-Grandmother and Mother Zhou also didn't eat too much. After eating a piece of pineapple, a grape, and a piece of mango, they stopped eating and went to Great-Grandmother's house to weave fishing nets.

The women in the village weave fishing nets to earn money whenever they have free time at home.

Few people would sit around idly, but some very lazy women would gather in groups of three or five to play cards or mahjong. But Mother Zhou and Great-Grandmother were not like that. They would weave fishing nets to earn money whenever they had free time.

Jiang Xia finished eating the pineapple, then ate the half bowl of grape pulp and a little mango, and myrtle berries.

After eating the fruit, she washed her hands and took out a hoe, planning to plant the fruit tree seedlings and flower seeds she had brought back.

Then she saw two geese with their legs and wings still tied in the corner.

Thinking of what Jiang Yang said about untying the two geese as soon as she got home, because they would die if they were tied up for too long, Jiang Xia walked over, grabbed a goose head in each hand, and carried the two geese towards the place where the ducks were raised, and released them.

Jiang Yang also grabbed geese like this, so there shouldn't be any problems.

As a result, after she untied the two geese and turned to walk away, these two big guys spread their wings and chased after her to bite her! Where had Jiang Xia ever encountered such a situation?

She subconsciously ran! Zhou Chenglei came back and saw Jiang Xia being chased by two geese.

Seeing her running towards him, he thought that the timid her would throw herself into his arms.

He subconsciously reached out his hand...

On the first day of the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, I sincerely wish all students divine assistance in their writing, a successful start, and a place on the gold list!
