Chapter 784
Sun Xu scratched his head, his face flushed red, and he stammered, "Brother Dahai, it's like this... We want to... want to borrow your frying pan to fry some fish..."
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Jiang Yixin. Jiang Yixin lowered her head and gently stroked her belly, looking shy and nervous.
Without waiting for Zhou Jianghai to reply, he hurriedly stammered to explain, "I, we...it's not for nothing. We'll give you an extra fish as compensation!"
He looked at Jiang Yixin next to him and scratched the back of his head as if a little embarrassed. "She, she's pregnant. The fish she usually eats is too fishy. When I smelled you guys frying fish, I thought of frying a few for her too, at least to change her appetite!"
"Oh, congratulations!" Zhou Jianghai hurriedly congratulated.
Zhou Shuwan glanced at Jiang Yixin who was lowering his head beside him, and for a moment he didn't know what to feel.
The other person was very thin, with a body of more than 1.6 meters and weighing at most 80 kilograms, perhaps even less than 80 kilograms. He looked old and haggard, and was too malnourished. He had been living in the medical area on the mothership for treatment.
Can she give birth to a new life healthily?
But looking at the couple whose faces were flushed with joy, she said nothing.
Everyone has their own choice!
Apart from the vague worries in her heart, she had no right to interfere!
Zhou Jianghai said to Sun Xu very straightforwardly: "Bring your fish here. There is a cutting board over there. Cut it up yourself and it will be fried in a few minutes."
He pointed to the simple stove in the corner of the yard.
Sun Xu thanked him repeatedly and walked towards the stove with the fish.
He chopped the fish neatly, his knife skills were quick and decisive, and he controlled the strength just right. In just a few strokes, he cut a whole fish into several large pieces. His movements were precise and efficient, without any hesitation.
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help but take a few more glances, thinking, in the end times, everyone has their own way of survival, and everyone will hone their own unique skills.
This Sun Xu looks honest, but I didn't expect his knife skills to be so superb.
Zhou Jianghai quickly fried the fish for Sun Xu and his wife. The aroma filled the air, attracting everyone nearby to look over here.
Knowing that Sun Xu was very concerned about his reputation and would not easily accept favors from others, Zhou Jianghai deliberately left a few more pieces of fish as a reward.
Sun Xu was still too embarrassed to leave, so he kept helping to clean and chop the fish. Jiang Yixin also wanted to help, but was politely declined by Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Jianghai told Sun Xu several times that he didn't need help, as the three of them were enough to handle the job. However, Sun Xu said that Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu were not at home, and they didn't have enough manpower, so he should help.
Mr. and Mrs. Sun Xu are both honest people, and they do things in a down-to-earth manner. The Zhou family always feels that they owe them something if they are asked to do a little favor, so it is difficult for the Zhou family to refuse too much.
At this time, the Zhou family had already fried another full basket of fish.
Zhou Shuwan was busy preparing various seasonings. After mixing them well, she put them back into the pot and stir-fried them in a small pot to make the fish pieces more fragrant and tasty.
Zhou Jianghai naturally couldn't ask for help for free, so he asked Zhou Shuwan to pick out a plate of fried fish and put it on the corner of the table, letting Sun Xu and Jiang Yixin eat while he was busy.
The Zhou and Sun families' fish pieces were separated. Sun Xu also took out the fried fish pieces from his own family and handed one piece to each of Zhou Shuwan and the other two: "It's so embarrassing to eat only yours. Try ours too."
The amount he gave was not much, just one piece per person, neither too much nor too little.
Zhou Shuwan and Zhou Jianghai glanced at each other and agreed: "Okay, thank you very much!"
The fish from the Sun family tastes the same as that from the Zhou family.
Because they are all sea fish caught from the sea, frozen and then thawed, they are very fresh.
Everyone was so busy frying fish that they had no time to eat lunch.
After Zhou Shuwan finished the fish Sun Xu gave him, he ate two pieces of fried fish he had made himself, then clapped his hands and said, "Dad, Xiao Yu, can I make some salty soup? A few pieces of fried fish and some soup, and lunch is done."
"Okay!" Zhou Jianghai said.
He took out a small canning stove from the house, poured the warm water placed next to the stove into the pot, and started to cook it in the canning stove.
If Sun Xu and the others were not around, Zhou Shuwan would prepare some cornmeal dumplings, add some kelp shreds, dried mushrooms, green vegetable leaves, light soy sauce and sesame oil, and make a light pot of salty dumpling soup. It was especially appetizing and refreshing when paired with fried fish pieces, and everyone in the Zhou family loved it.
I make this every time I fry something at home.
It has been a long time since I had fried food.
However, when there are outsiders around, some foods cannot be displayed.
Besides, it would be bad not to invite people to dinner when they are helping us.
Zhou Shuwan took out the taro, cut it into pieces and put it into boiling water, then put the other ingredients into the pot one by one to make taro salty soup.
Sun Xu quickly winked at Jiang Yixin, asking her to come forward and help.
Jiang Yixin was too embarrassed to step forward, but Zhou Shuwan waved her hand and said, "You are pregnant now, and you are a key protected person. Sit down!"
Jiang Yixin smiled awkwardly: "Let me do it, it would be embarrassing for me to sit here for nothing."
Sun Xu finished cutting the fish, wiped his hands, and hurried over: "I'll serve the rice! You all sit down!"
Zhou Shuwan helped him pass the dishes and chopsticks.
She suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if she was tired after being busy for half a day. She slowed down, took the soup handed to her by Sun Xu, and slowly drank half a bowl.
That nauseous and dizzy feeling came over me again.
She was startled and when she wanted to look up, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground with the bowl!
no!no!
Wake up!
Alarm bells rang in her head, but she just fell there limply, unable to even open her eyes.
While in a coma, Zhou Shuwan knew that his family had been tricked by someone, and that someone must be Sun Xu, Jiang Yixin and others!
There must be something wrong with the fish piece that Sun Xu handed over!
A man who has been catching sparrows for a thousand years finally has his eyes pecked by a sparrow!
She kept urging herself to wake up quickly, wake up quickly...
Faintly, she heard many people talking beside her, but she couldn't hear what they were saying.
Then she was moved away by several people...
Where are we going?
How many people came to their house?
Were Sun Xu and Jiang Yixin accomplices or the masterminds?
She could only vaguely feel as if she was on a ship, with the waves rising and falling...
The nausea worsened, and she vomited with a loud bang. A male voice cursed beside her, "...if she vomits, the medicine will lose its effect...feed her again, quickly..."
She was grabbed by her limbs and something liquid was poured into her throat...
no, do not want!
She struggled desperately, but how could she struggle with her blurred consciousness...
After she drank the medicine, her consciousness became drowsy again, and then she completely disappeared into nothingness...
