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

"We have four rooms in total, two for us and two for the three brothers. When they go to college, if they want the house, we'll sell it to them. If they don't want it, we'll sell it to someone else."

"Next, seasonal fruits, vegetables, and grains can be taken from the space, but the corresponding money will be withheld by us. I don't do charity and don't want to support ungrateful people."

"Okay, that's what I think. No matter what, we are two families."

"As for Dad's job, we'll see how it goes. If he graduates from Huaibei Junior High School and fails to get into high school, and wants to take over, we can sell the job to him."

"By then, the family must be completely divided."

Jiang Wen saw that Gu Lixia had stopped talking. "So you came here today, June 20, 1970. When did you celebrate your birthday before?"

"05.17."

Today is the day. Fate is indescribable. The system spoke.

Gu Lixia ignored it and looked at Jiang Wen.

"I was born on February 22, 1951. You were born on May 17, 1950. Xiu'er was born on February 25, 1956. Dad is 50 years old this year. He was born on September 13, 1920. Mom is the same age as him, born on December 18. Mom has been gone for 14 years. She died on February 26, 1956, the day after my little sister was born."

"My eldest brother, Jiang Wu, is about 10 years younger than me. Back then, Mom thought he was her only child, so she loved him dearly."

"In the end, they gave birth to me and then Xiu'er. Mom and Dad love each of their children."

"My eldest brother was born on February 2, 1940, and my eldest sister-in-law was born on July 9, 1940. My eldest brother joined the army in the autumn of 1956 when he was 16. He met and married my eldest sister-in-law at the age of 18. He served in the army for ten years and returned on August 1, 1966. He went to work the next day. He was discharged four years ago. Three years ago, on October 17, 1967, he passed away an hour after giving birth to my third child."

"Jianghuai South, October 1, 1960; Jianghuai North, October 7, 1963; Jianghuai West, October 16, 1967."

"My eldest brother and father passed away on June 16, 1970."

"You need to remember these days as we miss our deceased loved ones."

"The space is safer than the outside world. Let's store our money in the space."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take it? It's all in, no out?"

"I believe you, you have much more than this. I'm a little self-deprecating, really. You've seen such a wonderful world, and coming here, the poor life is not for someone like you."

"I can't even give you a leisurely and comfortable life. Will you regret choosing me?"

"I don't choose you. I've been sent to the countryside now. I have to live a life of hard work facing the loess and back to the sky. What kind of people are there in the village? If I meet a second-rate person, there is no way to escape."

"Or, being sold to anyone, and having no freedom or choice in the days that follow."

"You are my best choice. I won't regret it now that I've made the choice."

"If you have anything to say, just say it and ask directly."

"Have you been married before? Do you have children?"

"No, I'm single. I'm still young and don't plan to have children. I'm afraid others will plot against me and my children. I had an unhappy childhood, only being bullied."

Jiang Wen swallowed hard before speaking again. "Then why do you trust me so much?"

"I know you are kind-hearted and have never married. I have the confidence and ability to possess your heart."

"If one day I discover that you have betrayed me, I will imprison you in space myself, and throw you out when you die."

Jiang Wen was a little confused. "I myself don't know what my current situation is. I'm mostly curious."

"It's normal to be curious. Tell me about yourself. I don't know anything about you. My memory is very thin."

"When I was little, I don't have many memories of my grandmother. When I was less than two years old, she got up in the middle of the night and fell. No one knew about it until the next day."

"I heard that when my grandfather was young, he tried to save a child from falling into the river. The child was saved, but my grandfather passed away."

"I only knew that my father earned money and my mother took care of me. Later, my mother became pregnant and had a heavy hemorrhage after giving birth to my younger sister."

"At the beginning, Dad took my little sister and me to work together."

"I went to school with my eldest brother a few times, but after my mother gave birth to my younger sister, he signed up to join the army."

"Later, I heard that their leader introduced a partner to my sister-in-law, and they got married. My sister-in-law was very happy and got Huainan."

"I went to school, but no one cared. My dad couldn't take care of me, so I repeated a grade. Then you had a freshman class, and everyone was talking about this child prodigy who was really good at studying."

"I grew up and realized how embarrassing it was, so I started studying hard and graduated this year."

"I'm at home, doing laundry, cooking, and anything that involves housework."

"Later, my eldest brother was injured and came back. My eldest sister-in-law knew how to operate a sewing machine and taught my younger sister. I also learned a little bit about pattern making and tailoring. I only know a little bit, but I can't compare to my younger sister who is so dedicated and proficient."

"Besides, I don't know what to say."

"You are 19 years old this year. Do you have any feelings for female classmates?"

"No. My mom is gone, there's no job at home, and no one would be interested in me."

"I originally planned to go to the countryside. At least I can support myself there."

Gu Lixia carefully looked at the husband she had chosen.

Jiang Wen's skin has a healthy wheat color.

Smooth and elastic, short black hair standing vertically, slanted and handsome sword-like eyebrows, slender peach blossom eyes with gentleness, thin and lightly pursed lips, his nose bridge is tall and straight, as firm as a mountain, adding a handsomeness to his face.

Angular features and a slender yet not frail figure.

It is said that if a man has a pair of peach blossom eyes, they are full of affection, with clear black and white as if he is drunk, and a slight blush around the eyes and corners of the eyes.

It makes people feel excited.

When she's not smiling, she looks like peach blossoms.

The eyes are long, with a large curvature of the upper eyelid, deep and sharp inner corners, and thin and slightly curved tails, shaped like peach petals. The eyes are blurred and full of charm.

When she smiles, she looks like a crescent moon.

Her eyes were smiling, narrowed into two crescents, very charming.

"Jiang Wen, smile."

"Hmm?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile.

As expected of you, you have affectionate eyes, very affectionate eyes.

No wonder Yao Xueying said in The Long Night Part 3: "He has what people generally call peach blossom eyes, and age has not eroded the romantic look in these eyes."

"Your smile is so beautiful, what should I do?"

Jiang Wen has never been praised. Children nowadays are not praised. This is a form of suppression of education.
