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

"This bathhouse says it's open 24 hours a day, but that's just for the outside world. Actually, you can only bathe in the morning and after dinner. Also, if the stove goes out, there's no water."

"It's just that after dinner, the big pot is heated up. Sometimes there is still oil. That means there is a pot on that day, and the meat is cooked, and it is dipped in oil."

"The toilet is right there, right after you enter the gate, opposite the gatehouse."

"This pit is outside the wall. There are 30 households in our family compound with large courtyards. If they don't have enough manure at home, they come here to carry some. In the summer, it's enough for their own families. In the winter, every household grabs it, loosens their own soil, and buries it in the pit to nourish the land."

"It's the same in spring and autumn. Some people rush home right before getting off work or school to collect fertilizer."

"The toilet has no roof, and I'm afraid bad guys will come in. This toilet, once you go in, is empty. You can see the end at a glance. I just came in, went in, and came out again, and I went home with nothing to hold."

"Now, if it takes too long, I'll just go in and make a quick decision. Even if my period comes, I have to go. We have to go. There are not many female workers in our factory."

"The finance department, the publicity department, and the logistics department all have only one man. The factory director and the secretary are all men. The security department is all men. The cafeteria has both men and women."

"All three workshops are run by men. At the beginning, there was a woman, but the men suspected her of having affairs, so she switched jobs with a relative."

"When you first arrived, everyone knew you were married, so no one came to see you every day. I was then..."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively. I was outside the Finance Department next door and I heard your voice."

"Come and take over Uncle Jiang's daughter-in-law. My name is Zhang Jing. What's your name?"

"Gu Lixia, you guys chat, I'll go to the cafeteria to get some water and wipe the table."

"Go ahead, call me back and I'll use it. Can I use it?"

"Yes, but wait until I'm done wiping it. If you like the dirty water, you can use it. When you're done, I'll pour it out."

"How can you be like this? You have no unity with your comrades at all. Really..."

Jiang Wen came over with a basin of water. "Lixia, I've got some water. Let me help you clean up the desk."

The desk at that time had four legs, a table top, and three drawers underneath.

Jiang Wen handed the key rope to Gu Lixia. There were a total of seven keys on the rope, each of which was tied separately. One key should be the key to the door of the Propaganda Department, the three smallest keys should be the keys on the desk, and the large key should be the key to the filing cabinet behind him. These five keys were close together.

Another one is the key to the front door, and the last one is the key to their house.

Jiang Wen first wiped the desk surface and motioned Gu Lixia to open the drawer.

Gu Lixia opened the drawer and took out the things inside and put them on the table. There were several notebooks.

An enamel jar, probably used by Jiang's father to drink water.

I took a rag and wiped the inside of the drawer and the notebook.

Another filing cabinet was opened, and the space was divided into six partitions above and below.

Inside, there should be Jiang's father's previous work content and drafts, divided into five grids, and there is nothing at the bottom.

Gu Lixia took out all the things inside. Jiang Wen went forward to wipe the cabinet inside, then stepped on a stool to wipe the cabinet top, and then closed the door and wiped it.

He rubbed the rag in the basin, then wiped the cabinet, drawer, cabinet top, and cabinet door. Gu Lixia put the things in there temporarily. Jiang Wen wiped the table and windowsill again, and without saying anything, he went out with the basin of water.

Gu Lixia began to look through Jiang's father's things, preparing to familiarize herself with the work content.

"Did you find this on your own? Jiang's younger brother took the initiative to come and wipe the table. We have a good relationship."

"Who's on good terms with whom? Oh, the Jiang family's daughter-in-law is here, welcome, welcome. I'm Shen Yue, you can call me Aunt Shen, and this is Wang Ling."

"Hello, Aunt Shen, hello, Wang Ling. My name is Gu Lixia."

"Hello to you too. What were you talking about? It was so lively."

"I'm talking about Jiang's younger brother. I can't say that anymore. I have to talk about Lixia's man. Haha."

"Our office has two characters, Lixia, and it's three characters. It's awkward. From now on, I'll call you Lixia. It's more intimate."

"cut."

"Zhang Jing, you're jealous of everyone you see. Don't be like this, little girl. Besides, you're not doing badly. It's boring to compare yourself to others all day long. Just relax."

Gu Lixia listened quietly. It was nothing special since she had just started working. She didn't feel as excited as she had imagined, nor did she feel as flustered as if she was just a newcomer. She was familiar with the work, making progress, and was happy.

"Little Pepper is so willful, because her brother is so powerful."

"Even if you're powerful, you have to be powerful in the right place. Uncle Jiang used to be so cheerful, but now Lixia is so quiet. That's the hallmark of our factory, isn't it?"

"I just realized today that you are a person who likes to talk nonsense."

"Do what you have to do."

"Aunt Shen, what did my dad do before and what do I do now?"
