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

"Brother Jianshe and Brother Jianye, if you are looking for a partner now, you must find a girl with a job. Then, your family will have one more person who can eat commercial grain." After Jiang Xiu finished explaining, she praised the two brothers of the Wu family.

"What's the difference between this and renovating a house? It looks good now, but in 20 years, it will still be the same as our house. What a waste of time." Aunt Wu believes that we are all rural people, and it will be the same even if we move to the city.

"How can it be the same? This house is completely different from before." Although Jiang Xiu was not good at speaking, she could still refute it.

Jiang Huaixi felt uncomfortable in his throat, so he poked Jiang Xiu with his hand and pointed at his throat.

"I'll go back and get you some apple soup. Just sit still and don't get down." Jiang Xiu settled Jiang Huaixi down, put down the woolen trousers and yarn ball she was knitting, ignored Aunt Wu, and went straight into the kitchen. She took a bowl and scooped half a bowl of soup and a few pieces of apple.

He came out and handed it to Jiang Huaixi.

"My dear, if your throat hurts, just drink some water or some porridge. What is this to eat? What kind of fruit is this?" Aunt Wu saw the fruit pulp in the bowl.

Nowadays, people eat fruits directly without making soup. I have never seen this before.

Jiang Xiu explained naturally that this was her first time eating an apple like this. "Huaixi had a sore throat and couldn't speak. We happened to have a few apples at home, so we made some soup. The problem was that she couldn't even drink water. My sister-in-law said it was useless if the porridge was too watery. If it was too thick, Huaixi's throat hurt and he couldn't swallow it."

"You can't swallow porridge, but you can swallow such a big fruit?" Aunt Wu looked at Jiang Huaixi drinking it in small sips. Jiang Xiu was such a ignorant girl. After all, she was a guest at their house, but she didn't even know how to entertain herself.

"Look, your sister-in-law Jiancheng is pregnant too. I saw Xianglan eating yesterday and she didn't enjoy her meal at all. So, Xiu'er, you must have a lot of fruits at home. Bring some for Auntie. The vegetables in our garden are growing well. If you want to eat something, just tell me and I'll pick it for you."

"Also, it's okay if you don't like the vegetable garden. The dates and walnuts from back home will be harvested soon, and I'll pick some for you. Huaixi, do you have any apples left? Would you be willing to give me a couple?"

Jiang Huaixi had almost finished eating and drank the last sip of soup. Jiang Xiu took the bowl and put it back in the kitchen.

After coming out, Jiang Huaixi reached out to get the baby down, picked him up, and went to the toilet to pee.

After peeing, he didn't want to sit there anymore, so he pulled Jiang Xiu's hand, pointed to the house, and said he wanted to go back to sleep.

Jiang Xiu carried him back, took off his clothes, put on a small vest, and tucked him into the quilt. After a while, Jiang Huaixi closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jiang Xiu came out and sat down, picking out a sweater while answering. "There aren't many fruits in total. Huaixi wants to eat them, but we can't bear to part with them. Huainan and Huaibei only had one bowl. There's no way we can have any left. We'll give it to your family."

"Xiu'er, I'm not saying anything. You weren't like this when your father was alive. How come you've become like this after being taught by your sister-in-law for two months? Be more generous. You're so stingy. Who would want to associate with your family?"

"How many years have we been neighbors? You don't have many relatives in the city. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. When you go to school, I can help you take care of Huaibei and Huaixi. Do you think what you said is right? Does it make sense?" Aunt Wu really wanted to eat that apple.

I am greedy. If you have fruit trees at home, you can eat some fruits.

There are no fruit trees in Wujia Village.

There are some jujube trees and walnut trees.

In earlier years.

The eldest son just got married and has no house in the city, so he lives in his daughter-in-law's house.

The daughter-in-law gave birth to two daughters and a boy, all of whom were sent to the countryside to be raised by Aunt Wu and Uncle Wu.

Later, after I became eligible for housing allocation.

Aunt Wu and Uncle Wu were taken into the city.

At that time, Brother Wu’s younger brothers and sisters were actually still young.

Brother Wu has an older sister who is one year older than him, but she got married a long time ago.

There is a younger brother every year.

When Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu came to the city, their eldest granddaughter was already 6 years old.

Sister Wu 25 water.

Brother Wu is 23 years old.

Wu's second brother is 22.

Wu Sandi and Wu Ermei are twins, 20 years old.

Wu’s fourth and fifth brothers are twins, both 19.

Wu Liudi is 17 years old.

Brother Wu is 16.

Wu Liudi and his younger brother have not yet married.

It's just a promise.

Because we have to go into the city.

He quickly divided the property among Wu Liudi and Wu Xiaodi and helped them get married.

We moved to the city in the summer, and our little girl was born in the first month of the following year.

So the old couple went into the city early.

However, due to the scarcity of supplies, people did not enjoy much.

I went there to take care of my daughter after she had a baby and also gave her a lot of financial support.

Where does all this money come from?

Uncle Wu went out to work when he was young.

There was also meat and eggs brought from the countryside, which Aunt Wu exchanged for money after just one trip.

I am used to being frugal and like to borrow a little bit. I feel embarrassed to ask for it back if someone borrows it from me, just a spoonful of salt and a little vinegar sauce.

Aunt Wu knew it was not a good idea to ask for the apple, but Jiang Xiu was too shy.

But I didn't expect it would take only two months.

The wife that Jiang Wen married is so powerful that she has the Jiang family under her control.

Jiang Xiu refused to give in, and Aunt Wu didn't give up either. There were two adults in the Jiang family, and they would always come back after work.

When Gu Lixia came home from get off work, she saw the old lady and Jiang Huaibei sitting on the threshold of her house.

At this time, the children have already gone home.

Jiang Huainan and Jiang Huaibei were no exception. After playing football for the whole morning, they were sweaty and came back to take a shower.

Especially Jianghuaibei, which has been urged all the time.

After all, he was sick the day before.

Gu Lixia greeted the old lady first before turning to Jiang Huaibei. "Hello, Auntie, Huaibei, why are you sitting here? Are you waiting for me? Or your uncle? How's it going? What's going on with Huaixi now?"

Jiang Huaibei stood up to let Gu Lixia pass. "He's sleeping. He's been asleep for over two hours. He hasn't gotten up yet. I've checked on him five or six times. I've also touched his head, and it's not hot."

Gu Lixia pulled Jiang Huaibei into Jiang Xiu's room. Jiang Huaixi was indeed still sleeping with a red face.

Gu Lixia didn't disturb him. When a child is sick, more sleep will help him get better.

Gu Lixia pointed at the lady at the door, and Jiang Huaibei answered naturally.

"The grandma next door. Her greatest pleasure every day is to climb over the wall and see what we're doing. She likes to borrow things. Today she'll borrow salt, tomorrow vinegar, and the day after tomorrow sauce."

"Before, her daughter got married and had a baby. The two grandmothers went to visit her. After not seeing her for a few months, the grandmother next door started scolding her. She didn't look after her grandson, but only her grandson-in-law. She said her nephew was a dog who would eat and leave."

"Anything we keep in the yard cannot be seen by her. One time, my dad was washing clothes, and the wind blew them over the wall of his house, and they became his."
