In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

The safes contained two German-made iron money boxes, each weighing over 70 kilograms. They had two visible locks, and the lids were crisscrossed with metal plates. A hidden lock sat in the center, connected to several internal mechanisms. This mechanism could only be unlocked by opening the locks normally; it could not be pried open by force.

There is a layer of covering on the keyhole of the hidden lock. To remove it, you must find the button hidden in the metal sheet and trigger the mechanism, and the covering on the hidden lock will automatically rise.

He opened the safe and took out envelope after envelope.

"8000 + 6000 = 1400 in total. My usual practice is to count them in piles of 1000. Count them all, one for each person, carefully, and then take notes. Finally, sign after you've added up everything and everything is ok."

Then the three Jiang family members, Secretary Li, and the four factory managers all began to count the money. One of them counted 14 piles, and after confirming that they were correct, the Jiang family members stepped forward to sign and put their fingerprints.

Lock the safe and put it in the cabinet. Director Xu said, "Put the money on your waistband, tighten your belt, and go back." After that, several people turned their backs to the three people.

Lixia said, "No need, we brought the third child out today."

As he said this, he walked forward and put the sleeping third child down, put the money on the third child's belly, stripped off Jiang Wen's clothes, tied the child to Jiang Wen's chest, and put Jiang Wen's coat on the third child.

"Then, everyone, we will go back first. We will come to work on time the day after tomorrow."

After saying this, the six members of the Jiang family walked out of the office.

Jiang Wen held the third child, Jiang Xiu held the second child, and Gu Lixia and the eldest child walked by themselves.

They left the factory director's office together, left the steel plant, and walked towards the family compound.

Under the big willow tree.

An idle old lady asked, "Your whole family has gone to the factory, and there is a girl here whom I don't know. She must be Wenzi's wife. Come to our house and play someday."

Jiang Wen said, "Yes, you heard it from Aunt Hu, right? We just got our marriage certificate today. Since our family has been having these problems recently, we won't have a wedding banquet. I'll bring some candy to everyone in the mornings to sweeten their mouths."

"The third child has fallen asleep. I have to put him on the kang, otherwise I'll have to hold him all day. We have things to do at home, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he entered the gate of the family compound and walked towards home.

Jiang Huainan ran in front and opened the gate and the main hall, then turned back and closed the gate after everyone entered the yard.

I looked to the left and right and the neighbors saw that no one was leaning on the wall at this time.

The family walked into the main room, sat at the table, and put the third child down.

He took out the money, went to the kitchen to get a shopping basket, put the money in it, Jiang Wen opened the door of his room, put the money in, and then went back to the main room.

He sat down and took a sip of the poured water before saying, "Let's have another meeting today. My aunt is getting married today. Huainan, I don't know how much money your father has saved. Do you want to find a place to hide it yourself, or should I help you hide it?"

"I don't plan to divide the pension. The portion that belongs to Dad is larger. Logically, it should be divided into two parts."

"But we're not broke yet. We'll get our salary the day after tomorrow when we go back to work, so I'll put this money aside. If there are any future expenses at home, I'll be transparent with everyone."

"After I get married and spend all the money my father left me, I should have some left. How much will be left? I'll have to go back to the village and see the carpenter on Sunday to find out."

"Xiu'er, I estimate that you only have about 70 or 80 yuan on you. Just keep it with you. You still have to use it to buy food and cook at home, buy other daily necessities, and various other expenses."

"My husband and I will go to work the day after tomorrow, and you two will have to take Huaibei to school when Huainan goes to school. We will take Huaixi to school in the morning and afternoon. As for Huaixi, whoever is free, your aunt or uncle, will take care of him."

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Look, everyone is shaking their heads.

So Jiang Wen spoke again, "Huainan, let's go to your father's room and see how much money your father has left." So the group went to the next room.

The two older children, Jiang Wen, and Jiang Xiu went to look for things together.

Gu Lixia held the third child in her arms and looked at the layout of the house.

It is four meters high, four meters wide and four meters long. In that era, it was considered the largest house.

At least it's much better than Gu Lixia's small apartment in the Gu family.

This is the northern region, where a two-meter-wide kang is laid, and only doors and windows provide ventilation.

The red bricks on the kang were exposed where there was no mattress, and it looked a bit dirty.

There is also a wardrobe on the kang, which is about 2 meters high and wide, and 2 feet deep.

There is a desk by the window, with a cross-body bag and a chair on it. It is probably used by Huainan for studying.

Over here is the sewing machine.

There are two basins next to it, for washing face and feet, guess what.

There were six pairs of shoes of different sizes on the ground, and two old towels were hung on nails on the wall with ropes on both sides.

The whole house looked like this, empty.

Lixia thought, this is what a home is like without a hostess, not warm at all.

In difficult times, it is impossible to feel warm even if you want to.

We have money but no supplies, and we will have to live like this for another ten years.

OMG!

How I wish I could open my eyes and see the day of reform and opening up.

Not wanting to watch them clean up anymore, I turned around and stood in the middle of the yard.

Looking at the sparse vegetable seedlings in the yard, you can tell that no one in the Jiang family knows how to take care of a vegetable garden.

I thought that when I come back from the village tomorrow, I must clean up and plan this courtyard.

This yard is 4 meters wide and 16 meters long. If you plan it well, you can save a lot of money.

What you save now is what you can enjoy in the future.

And the yard is full of dirt, wherever you step there is dirt.

When it rains, won’t the house start to turn into a river of mud?

I would also like to ask where I can pick up stones near Jiangwen?

Taking the two older children with us, the four of us went to pick up some stones and carry them back.

Pave a road from the main room to the courtyard gate, and then pave the doors of the four rooms, adding 50 centimeters.

I started to wonder again, how did this family take a bath in the past?

Just then, the two siblings from the Jiang family came out with their two children, and everyone walked towards the main hall together.

Jiang Wenxian spoke first, "Huainan, your father joined the army at the age of 16. With only a junior high school diploma, he could only fight hard on the battlefield. But your father himself liked being a soldier and liked wearing a military uniform. It was his choice."

"After ten years in the army, he became a deputy company commander. He didn't need to send money or tickets home every month. He had to send money and tickets to his comrades himself."
