Chapter 172 Watermelon Ripe
Song Jiang said gently, "Have your meal first. I'll get you some clean clothes later."
"If you want to sleep a little longer, that's fine. I'll be outside, just call me when you want to take a shower."
After saying that, he began to feed Shen Xia one spoonful at a time.
Shen Xia looked at Song Jiang quietly, her heart filled with emotion and warmth.
She never thought that this man who had taken on family responsibilities since he was a child had such a gentle and considerate side.
She had always thought he might be a man with chauvinistic ideas, but that turned out not to be the case.
Song Jiang is mature and steady. Although he doesn't talk much, he is very delicate inside.
He is neither as honest and simple as his second brother, nor as eloquent as his third brother.
After breakfast, it seems that noon is not far away.
Song Jiang went out, brought the clothes back to him after a while, and then went out.
Didn't bother myself.
My body was still hurting, so I continued to sleep.
Woke up late in the afternoon.
Perhaps hearing the noise inside, Song Jiang pushed the door open and came in.
"Xia Xia, wake up, do you want to take a shower?"
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay."
Just then, Song Jiang brought in the bathtub.
When was this done.
I originally wanted to make a bathtub, but since everyone lives in the front yard, it’s not convenient to put a bathtub there myself.
So I didn’t mention it and decided to make a bathtub when I live in my own yard in the future.
After Song Jiang put the bathtub in place, he added water into it bucket by bucket.
Wait until the water is ready.
Song Jiang looked at Shen Xia: "Can you stand up? Do you want me to carry you over?"
Shen Xia felt that her feet were weak, but she applied some ointment before going to bed.
But it should be fine to get to the bathtub.
It is really much more comfortable to take a bath at this time.
He looked at Song Jiang and said, "Thank you, brother. Please go out! I can walk over there."
Song Jiang nodded and put her spare clothes aside.
Shen Xia wore clothes but no pants.
As a result, when the quilt was lifted, a touch of bright red came into view.
Who said that spotting is just a little bit? This is almost as much as menstruation.
I'll take this thing back and wash it myself later! This is so embarrassing.
I got out of bed and it was okay. I guess the medicine worked. I've rested for a day and now I just feel a little uncomfortable, but it's still within an acceptable range.
I walked slowly to the bathtub, put my feet in, and the water temperature was just right.
I sat there quietly for about ten minutes. After my body was soaked in the hot water, I felt refreshed all over.
Then I took out the shower gel, washed myself again, and got up.
Go to the side and put on your clothes.
Song Jiang took a relatively complete set of clothes, including both indoor and outdoor items.
Shen Xia put on her clothes, washed her hair, and felt refreshed all over.
He opened the door and looked at Song Jiang who was sitting at the door: "Brother, I'm done."
"Well, there's a bowl of chicken soup on the kitchen table. Mom made it. You must be hungry, so go eat it first!"
I didn’t realize it before, but I’m really hungry after taking a shower.
"it is good."
After Shen Xia finished eating, she wanted to go back to Song Jiang's room to get the sheets, but when she saw the bare bed, she turned to Song Jiang and asked, "Where's the blanket?"
Song Jiang said seriously: "Put it away!"
"Put it away? You're not going to wash it?" Now Shen Xia was confused.
"Don't wash it. You have to save it."
"Ah!" What kind of custom is this?
"Then give it to me and I'll keep it." Shen Xia stretched out his hand to take it.
Song Jiang took her hand and hugged Shen Xia in his arms: "Silly girl, these are all kept by men."
"Is that so?" Shen Xia didn't believe it.
"That's right. If you don't believe me, go ask your mother," said Song Jiang.
How could Shen Xia possibly go and ask her mother? She was fooled by Song Jiang.
The two of them went back to the front yard together, but everyone looked at them strangely.
Finally, is this what it feels like when a stinky daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law as others have said?
In this way, Shen Xia rested for another two days, and then he felt much better all over.
Song Jin came to my room every day to keep me company and looked at me with a melancholy face.
A jealous expression.
Shen Xia was really speechless. It was so painful and really unpleasant!
I don't want to lie down often.
Zhao Xue and Zhao Xin did not go to pick mulberry leaves these two days because the silkworms began to make cocoons.
By the time I started going out, I had already formed a cocoon.
Early in the morning, Zhao Xin and Zhao Xue went to the old house to pick cocoons, and Shen Xia also went to help.
Song Ming and Song Jiang were both working on the construction site.
Song Jin and his mother were working at home.
Xiaotian and Xiaowu spend their time doing odd jobs except when studying.
Shen Xia and Song Jin went to the next door together. When they passed by a melon field, they saw that the melons had already been picked and eaten by their families, but no one had picked the fruits because they didn't know whether they were ripe or not.
When passing by,
Shen Xia bent down gently and patted a melon gently. After listening to the sound, he thought it should be ready to eat!
It’s quite big, but I can’t recognize the cantaloupe myself. I’ll pick one and try it later.
There are too many silkworms, and this batch of silkworms still has various colors. The main reason is that there is no loom, otherwise we can use the colorful silkworms to weave cloth, which would be very beautiful. Anyway, I have never seen such colors in the capital.
It has to be sold at a high price!
Looking at Zhao Xue, Zhao Xin and mother, they were already working there.
Shen Xia also walked over and sat down, then picked up a bamboo grid and started picking them as well.
Mother Song looked at Shen Xia and asked with concern: "Xia Xia, are you feeling better? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"Mom, it's okay. You've taken care of me like I was in confinement after childbirth. How could it not be okay?" Shen Xia also teased.
Zhao Xue smiled and said, "Don't you like your confinement after childbirth?"
Zhao Xin also smiled and said, "That's right, aunt has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Only then did Shen Xia remember that getting pregnant would not happen in one go!
I felt that taking the emergency contraceptive pill was not good, so I didn't take it.
I thought it was close to my period, so I wouldn't get pregnant.
A few people are just talking and laughing here, let it be!
I gave birth to the baby as soon as I got pregnant. I have never had a child myself. It is more lively and nice to have a larger family.
It took a whole day to pick all the cocoons. According to about the same time, the villagers who raised silkworms should be almost done by then!
When they returned in the afternoon, Shen Xia asked her third brother to pick a watermelon and a cantaloupe, put them in the well to cool, and eat them in the evening.
Actually, I should have picked them and put them in the well at noon, but I forgot about it at noon.
After dinner, the two went to the well together to get the watermelon back.
Of course, the big watermelon was held by the third brother, while he only held a cantaloupe. After all, he was still unsure whether the melons were ripe, so he didn't dare to pick too many.
At night, everyone sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Shen Xia was cutting the watermelon in the kitchen. When she saw the bright red flesh and the shiny black watermelon seeds, she thought, well, it's good, it should be ripe.
So Shen Xia took the lead in cutting off a piece and handed it to Song Jin: "Third brother, try it first and see if it's sweet."
Song Jin responded with a smile, "Okay!" Then he took the watermelon and took a bite.
In this hot summer, once the cold watermelon enters your mouth, your mouth will immediately be filled with juice, which moistens your throat and brings endless sweetness and coolness.
Song Jin couldn't help but exclaimed with joy: "Xia Xia, this watermelon is so delicious!"
"As long as it tastes good, go and serve it to everyone."
