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

"What about the previous ones?" Gu Lixia asked again.

"In Zhang Jing's closet, I don't participate in your work, before."

"It's just me and your dad, we're about the same age, and the others are all young people. They can sit inside, and I'll supervise your work and report your work content to the factory director."

"Although our direct supervisor is Deputy Director Liu, Director Xu likes to ask about everything in the factory, so we have two leaders. As long as he is a director, you have to answer any questions he asks."

"Your work content is usually unimportant in our factory because the leaders also subscribe to newspapers and read them. However, at critical moments, you have to step up."

"When the leaders come to inspect, you are an interpreter, an excellent interpreter. You need to explain our factory's production, talk about our factory life, and talk about our factory's ideology."

"However, generally, leaders will notify you in advance before they come. If you study hard, you will be able to handle important matters at critical moments without being stage-frightened or embarrassed."

"If you can't answer back, I can't fire you, but you'll lose not only your own reputation, but also the reputation of our factory. That will be very embarrassing for you."

"Okay, I'll study hard." After expressing her determination, she began to work. "Sister Zhang, I'd like to pick up this month's newspaper."

"OK, wait."

Aunt Shen continued, "A provincial newspaper, a provincial edition, is one that covers every city and region in the province."

"The newspapers we receive every day are: Jiangcheng Evening News, Daily News, Farmers' News, Workers' News, and People's News."

"Except for the Farmers' Newspaper, all the others are very important. When the three of them first came, we originally planned to let the young people do this work."

"But none of them can remember anything. They read the newspaper the day before, but when asked the next day, they don't know anything. I heard that you have excellent academic performance and always top the grade in every exam."

"Besides, you are taking over your father-in-law's job. Unless you are truly incompetent, this is the only thing you can do."

"I believe you. After all, you always ace the exams."

Gu Lixia started reading the newspaper and went to the toilet twice in the morning.

There is no cover on the toilet. If you go to the toilet directly like that, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if someone comes in?

What should I do if I'm exposed when I take off or pull up my pants? What if I'm having my period?

It’s terrible, but I can’t not drink water, so this is the only way.

"It's 12:00, time to leave work."

After Aunt Shen said this, everyone immediately stood up and locked their drawers and cabinets.

After leaving the factory gate, I entered the family compound.

Gu Lixia immediately rushed back home and saw that there was no toilet in her house. It was really speechless.

Enter the space to meet physiological needs.

Come out and go into the kitchen to cook.

Jiang Wen also came back and went straight into the kitchen. "Are you scraping potatoes? When I came to your office, the door was already locked. I knew you came back on your own. Don't worry, we have a two-hour lunch break. We won't be back to work until two in the afternoon."

"When there was no toilet at home, how did we deal with the feces and urine?" Gu Lixia was curious.

Jiang Wen said as a matter of course, "Isn't there a bucket in the corner over there? Put everything in the bucket. Don't every room have a chamber pot? The urine is mixed with water and taken to the yard to water the vegetable garden, and the feces are fermented in the bucket to make fertilizer."

"Our yard is closer to the moat. At the beginning, no one wanted to choose this side. Everyone chose the outside. Dad paid for it and took a lower salary, so he chose this side first."

"Later, many people came to the factory and asked for a lower price. The factory disagreed, and that's when the money had to be paid and the points were divided according to seniority, until everyone settled in."

"I just realized that our row is really cool in the summer and really cold in the winter. The ones in the middle are a little better, but the ones closest to the street are hot in the summer and not much warmer in the winter."

"This is a unified building built by the factory. When it was first planned, the maximum number of courtyards was five. Then there were four, and then three. Ours is medium-sized. The ones near us all have four."

"I heard that our family could only get four at the time, and Dad wanted to pay more to get the five-pack, but the factory didn't agree."

"The standard for room allocation is one room for parents, one room for the couple, and one room for the children."

"There's a family that works at the factory, and whoever the parents live with pays more and gets an extra room."

"Back then, there were people vying for the elderly, but after the distribution, they sent them to their brothers' homes. The factory then made a unified rule: whoever got a house had to take care of the elderly, and if they didn't, they would be fired."

After saying this, he turned his attention to Gu Lixia's work. "How do you teach your classes? Is it complicated? Can you familiarize yourself with the work right away? My job is much simpler. I read the newspaper, memorize it, and read it to all the employees. Of course, the leader also reads it to them individually. And you know why you ask."

After answering, Gu Lixia asked about the other party's job.

"There are 20 people in total, with two leaders. These 20 people are divided into two groups, working day and night shifts separately. One group works the day shift, and the other works the night shift."

"When the boss was here, we used to rotate four to three shifts every 10 days. This time, because of this incident, we were short on people and couldn't subdue the criminals, so we changed it to a rotation every two weeks. We work half a month on day shift and half a month on night shift. We work from Monday to Saturday and only have Sunday off."

"I'll be on the day shift for the second half of this month. At the beginning of next month, on the first day of my night shift, I'll clean up the house as you requested."

"Okay, let's do the preparations first. When my little sister and the others come back, we can cook the food right away and eat it."

"Okay, you light the fire, wash the rice, and steam the rice while I shred the potatoes in vinegar."

"We work the day shift and can come back for lunch, but someone has to watch over us. Some people say the food in the cafeteria is cheaper and there's no one at home to cook, so they watch over us."

"If they have something to do in the future, I might not be back at noon. I'll go over and tell you in advance."

Gu Lixia understood very well. At this time, having a job was good enough, and one couldn't be picky. "Okay. I'll take care of the third child this afternoon. It's up to you, the second child, to go to school or stay with me."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of both of them. But the second one can start learning something."

"Let's ask around at noon." Hearing some noise outside, Jiang Wen went out to see if it was his child. "Huaibei, what's wrong with your hands and knees? Where did you hit them?"

Jiang Xiu replied, "When we came back, there was a stone on the ground that he didn't see. Brother, go and help him apply the medicine. I'll go to the kitchen to help."

"I'm going out to fetch some water. There's no water at home."
