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

"Big Brother over there is leaving. Our well is also available for use."

"Initially we wanted to make them separately, but then the old master said if we wanted to make them faster, we had to make them bigger. So the factory decided to make a big one."

"Finally, we took some blue bricks and made a circle around the perimeter. We also worked from the bottom to the top in the middle. We experimented with adults and children. It was difficult for adults to turn around inside. But for children."

"When I went down, there was no problem. I was about the same age as Huaibei at that time. My mother was still pregnant with my younger sister. My older brother didn't go to the army." Those were the few days when Jiang Wen felt very happy.

After finishing his conversation, he asked about the ending he had just heard, "What happened to Goudan's mother and grandmother?"

Gu Lixia said directly, "They said we would starve and freeze the three brothers. We will have our own children in the future. We don't like the three of them. We want them to serve their younger siblings."

"When we come back at noon today, we'll wait for the men from Goudan's family. We'll stop them and ask if they taught their wives and daughters-in-law to say that. We'll tell them we suspect they took our money."

Jiang Wen came up with this idea, "Let's see what the men in their family say. What do you think?"

"I think your approach is right. Huainan doesn't have to worry about school. The news that we signed the letter of guarantee has spread. No children will bully him."

"After get off work tonight, hurry up and pick them up from school. Give those kids a scare."

"What if some kids don't know the seriousness of the situation and block Huainan in the toilet? Huainan gets beaten up and then comes back too embarrassed to tell us."

"If the perpetrators find out, we won't care. Huainan will be in danger at school."

"We bought some cloth. We made new clothes for the whole family first. We'll wear them this afternoon so others know. Even without their parents and grandpa, they're doing well."

"Why would those kids report their own teacher? People aren't always good at birth. These things are hard to prevent. We should work hard to avoid them."

"Didn't you learn a few moves from your brother? Huainan and Xiu'er should practice as well. Children must know how to fight."

"We're not saying let him go out and fight. What we're saying is that when someone is violent, he shouldn't be bullied. The principle is to be able to protect himself. We can't watch over them, so we have to protect ourselves."

Jiang Wen listened to Gu Lixia's arrangements along the way and was very happy with her efforts for him. "We're here. You guys go in. I'll go get some water and bring it over shortly."

Jiang Wen came over with some water and cleaned up Gu Lixia's office. After settling his two nephews, he followed his aunt's instructions and left.

Gu Lixia took a notebook and scribbled a few simple words. She asked Jiang Huaibei to write while she took a newspaper and began reading in a broadcasting voice.

(In her previous life, Gu Lixia received an education that was comparable to her brother's, except for the fact that she inherited the family business. At first, she couldn't understand why men and women were disqualified simply because of their gender. But as time went on, she got used to being a layabout and decided that being a salted fish was pretty good. She didn't have to struggle, she could just lie back and enjoy herself.)

Gu Lixia's expressive voice gradually attracted Jiang Huaibei.

Jiang Huaibei took the initiative to say that he wanted to learn.

Gu Lixia thought of the clapping song: You clap one, I clap one, take a shower and change clothes often. You clap two, I clap two, carry a handkerchief every day. You clap three, I clap three, don't spit anywhere. You clap four, I clap four, kill flies and mosquitoes. You clap five, I clap five, kill bedbugs and rats. You clap six, I clap six, clean up together. You clap seven, I clap seven, don't eat rotten food. You clap eight, I clap eight, wash your face and brush your teeth every day. You clap nine, I clap nine, wash your hands before and after meals. You clap ten, I clap ten, maintain hygienic conditions.

So he took out the notebook and taught Jiang Huaibei to recite the commands while clapping his hands or clapping his hands together.

Sure enough, children learn very quickly about things that interest them.

But after three or five times, Jiang Huaibei could recite it by himself, but his hands were a little uncoordinated.

Other colleagues gradually arrived. Gu Lixia began to carefully read her newspaper, copying down any information related to the factory into her notebook.

A little after nine o'clock, Jiang Huaixi said he needed to go to the bathroom. So Gu Lixia took the two children out to the bathroom. When she came back, she heard a colleague in the office talking about her.

"…Being a stepmother is quite enjoyable."

Gu Lixia had actually already figured out who said it. After all, there were only a few people speaking, and everyone had a different voice.

But Gu Lixia didn't intend to bring it up. After all, she worked in an office and had just started working, so there was no need.

As a result, when I came in, I saw myself still talking, and I didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

Gu Lixia was furious and spoke to Zhang Jing first, "Who do you like? Are you planning to ask me for advice?"

Zhang Jing hadn't expected Gu Lixia to be so bold. She'd turned on him straight away. She was momentarily stunned.

But he immediately realized that carrying this reputation was not a good thing.

He immediately retorted, "I was just complimenting you. If you can't handle compliments, then don't listen."

"You've already said it right in front of me, but I don't want to hear it. What do you mean? Do you think Jiang Wen is the only man left in the Jiang family and that he's easy to bully, or do you just dislike me?"

"No, that's not the case. I just admire you. How could I look down on the Jiang family? The father and son of the Jiang family are brave enough to sacrifice themselves to protect national property. I heard after get off work yesterday that you and Jiang Wen are classmates, and you can be considered childhood sweethearts. I just envy your good relationship. If your relationship is not good, would you be willing to marry him and take care of three children?" Zhang Jing didn't know what she said in a hurry.

"Yes, because there is a job ahead." Gu Lixia gave the answer directly.

Gu Lixia's move stunned everyone in the office.

Everyone is a little afraid of facing such people.

In people's minds, it's worth playing some tricks on someone who's smart.

If you meet someone who is stupid and dumb, you can only pretend to be stupid together.

Gu Lixia now gave everyone in the office a very bad impression.

For Gu Lixia, whether she had her own children or never had any, being a stepmother seemed to carry a different kind of criticism.

If you have children, then you are a vicious stepmother. In the future, you will especially favor your own children and be mean to your nephew. Everything you are doing now is just an act.
