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

"Uncle, aunt, you're welcome. We are all relatives, and it's only natural for us to help each other." Jiang Wen said with a smile.

Jiang Wen suggested writing a note and went to the village chief's house. The three parties signed the note and stamped it. Jiang Wen felt much more at ease holding the note.

I also paid for the wood, 10 yuan, and any excess was refunded or supplemented.

He also rewrote the current title deed for the homestead and changed the name of his eldest brother's homestead to the eldest brother Huainan's name.

"Now there is someone to take care of the house, and there is also a harvest of grain. This is really great." Jiang Wen thought happily.

When he got home, he told Gu Lixia and the children the good news.

"This way we can feel more at ease." Gu Lixia said with a smile.

There was nothing in my hometown and I couldn't cook, so I ate the pastries I brought back and picked a cucumber for each of us.

Gu Lixia suggested exchanging some dry goods, such as millet, mung beans, and eggs.

My uncle and aunt’s house has golden corn, red peppers, plump soybeans, mung beans, red beans, and a variety of dried vegetables.

Jiang Wen took Lixia to make a deal with his aunt, and Lixia found out that in this family, both daughters were probably married off.

The oldest people in the family are my uncle and aunt.

Of these five sons, the first four should have been married.

It is said that the eldest grandson and the youngest son are the lifeblood of the old lady.

Sure enough, when it comes to the youngest, they don’t want to compromise at all.

That's when he came up with the idea of ​​taking Jiang Wen's house. He didn't have to build it, and he already had a house to live in.

But they only give 100 kilograms of food every year.

He also took Lixia's hand and took the initiative to tell her what their family harvested every year.

Lixia decided on three things.

Instead of growing vegetables in their yard, they plant sweet potatoes and raise chickens. The elderly couple has four married sons, each with three or four children. They have about 15 chickens.

Lixia asked about eggs again.

My aunt's eldest daughter-in-law said that she had just recently taken it to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange the seasoning.

If I had known they would be back on Sunday, I wouldn’t have gone.

Lixia could see that this sister-in-law was smooth and shrewd.

Just pretend you didn't understand and say nothing.

He returned to the yard carrying two backpacks of food and a basket of eggs.

I picked another basket of vegetables.

He asked his three children to get on their bicycles and started his journey home.

Jiang Wen led the second oldest child in front and the oldest child behind. The oldest child carried a basket of grain and a basket of vegetables on his back.

Gu Lixia still brought Xiu'er and the third child with her. The third child was held in Xiu'er's arms, with a basket on his back and eggs on his arms.

The whole family returned home with a full load.

It was still a bit hot at this time, and there were not many people under the willow tree, so the family rushed straight back to the yard.

He took the third child back to the house and asked the eldest and second child to go and see the third child.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu began to pack their things.

Jiang Wen scooped a basin of water, picked up a clean rag, and carefully wiped every part of the bicycle in the yard.

From the frame to the wheels, from the handlebars to the seat, no corner is left untouched.

First, wipe off the dust on the surface with a damp cloth, then dry it carefully with a dry cloth. For places that are difficult to clean, use a small brush to gently scrub them to ensure that every detail is clean and tidy.

He takes extra care when wiping the wheels, a crucial part of the bike's ride, and meticulously cleans the spokes and tires of dirt and debris, leaving them looking like new.

In a short while, the bicycle became as shiny as new, reflecting the sunlight.

Jiang Wen looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction, a smile on his face.

A bicycle is not just a means of transportation, but also a companion. He uses his own hands to give it the best care.

Jiang Wen pushed Cui's bicycle out, and went back to the kitchen to take a handful of wild vegetables, a handful of onions and a handful of leeks from the dishes prepared by his aunt and sister-in-law.

I came out and pushed my bike to Cui's house.

He knocked gently on the door. Aunt Cui opened the door and saw Jiang Wen, and a warm smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Wen said apologetically, "Aunt Cui, I'm here to return my bicycle. Thank you for lending it to me. But I may need to borrow it again in the future." As he said that, he pushed the bicycle into the yard.

Aunt Cui quickly waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Wenzi and I are so formal. This is out of place, we are neighbors." She noticed the vegetables in Jiang Wen's hand and said, "Oh, you brought vegetables too. You are very polite."

Jiang Wen smiled and handed the vegetables to Aunt Cui, saying, "These are grown by our uncle and aunt in our hometown in my yard. They are very fresh. Let me give you a try."

Aunt Cui took the dish.

Go in and put the dishes in.

After a while, Jiang Wen came out and said goodbye, saying that he had many children at home and could not leave.

Aunt Cui saw him to the door and Jiang Wen left Aunt Cui's house.

When I got home, I saw Lixia holding the third child, followed by the eldest and second child.

It's time for Xiu'er to use the sewing machine. I'm afraid it will affect the child's rest and slow down the sewing, after all, Huaixi cries a lot.

Jiang Wen stepped forward to take the third child, but Gu Lixia shook her head and took him directly to Xiu'er's room.

The eldest and the second oldest also went upstairs to rest.

Gu Lixia turned around and went back to pick up the scraps of cloth from yesterday and began to pick and choose.

The original owner used to be able to sew clothes by hand. She learned it from Grandma Zhao in the staff housing compound. But before Lixia came and before the original owner went to high school, Grandma passed away. In that simple era, the master was like a parent.

Although Grandma Zhao only taught the original owner how to sew clothes, it was a kind of affirmation for the original owner. The original owner was grateful to Grandma.

I learned how to make insoles after watching my neighbors do it a few times. After all, it doesn't require high technical skills.

Jiang Wen saw the sunlight shining through the window onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

The floor of the house was littered with colorful scraps of cloth.

Gu Lixia sat there quietly, her eyes full of concentration.

She gently picked up a piece of cloth and looked carefully at its color and texture.

These pieces of cloth may have been picked out from discarded fabrics.

She slowly put the large piece of cloth aside, the small piece aside, and then picked up another piece.

Each piece of cloth is carefully selected by her, and they have different shapes, colors and textures.

Gu Lixia compared them carefully, thinking about how to put these scraps of cloth together.

As time went by, there were more and more scraps of cloth on the ground.

An idea gradually emerged in Gu Lixia's mind.

She began to demonstrate how to piece the pieces of cloth together, her movements skillful and deft.

In her hands, those originally inconspicuous scraps of cloth gradually turned into the shapes she wanted. Her creativity and patience gave these scraps of cloth new life.

Gu Lixia stood up. Her legs were numb from sitting on the ground for so long.

After a short pause, he went directly to the room of Huainan, the eldest son of the Jiang family.
