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

Jiang Wen said directly, "It's not as good as your own. But it's okay."

After get off work in the evening, Jiang Wen went to the school to pick someone up, and Gu Lixia took the two children home first.

Gu Lixia took the dirty clothes she had changed out of at noon and put them in the basket.

He also ordered Huaibei to take the three brothers' things.

Wait until Jiang Wen, Jiang Xiu, and Jiang Huainan come back.

I saw three people sitting in the yard, staring at the gate in a daze.

Gu Lixia was the first to see the three people coming in. "Ajiang, go change your clothes. Xiu'er, you go too, we'll go do the laundry later."

After the brother and sister changed their clothes and came out, the whole family went to Hewanwan to wash clothes.

When I got there, I saw people standing side by side, it was almost full. People coming back from get off work were all there, carrying their clothes.

Suddenly, a man named Jiang Wen mixed in among this group of female comrades, even though there were some children among them.

Everyone looked at Jiang Wen and Gu Lixia with joking eyes.

Jiang Wen took Huaibei and Huaixi to a place far away from water to play with other children.

Jiang Huainan was pulled between Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu and squeezed onto the platform.

In fact, this was Jiang Huainan's first time washing clothes.

After all, when his father was around, Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu felt sorry for their elder brother and father and never let him do anything.

He even washed his face and feet by himself, but it was his father who suggested it.

In the past, it was just like Huaibei and Huainan now. Xiuer handed a hot towel to his elder brother, and then Brother Jiang wiped his own kid himself.

But Brother Jiang has strong hands, so sometimes the children will run to Jiang Xiu on their own initiative. Jiang Xiu is a very gentle and kind girl, and she will carefully wash her nephews.

Jiang Xiu knew that her new sister-in-law couldn't be the bad guy, so she took the initiative and said, "You can rub wherever I rub you, mainly the sleeves, collar, and chest, which are a bit dirtier. You can rub other places less. Just watch me and learn how to rub."

As soon as Jiang Xiu finished speaking, one of the aunts who was washing clothes with her cast a surprised look at the two sisters-in-law.

Anyway, it was only a few days since Brother Jiang and Father Jiang left.

The ones who came out to wash clothes before were Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, and Jiang Xiu, and no one else. These smart people were naturally surprised.

Some of them seemed not to be able to read the expressions of others and took the initiative to greet Xiu'er, "What's the matter? What did this child do wrong? The money lost by your family should be recovered, right? You didn't beat the child, so you were waiting here."

Seeing that someone was washing clothes, the people in this circle pricked up their ears and turned their eyes to Xiu'er.

"Yes, Huainan in our family is already 9 years old. When I was Huaibei's age, at the age of five or six, I was already standing on a small stool, cooking, cleaning the house, washing clothes, and waiting for my second brother to wring them out."

"Huainan is already 9 years old now. I think it's time for him to learn how to cook. We will teach him during the holidays. He is the eldest son of the first wife and will be the one to take care of the family in the future."

"Now there are only two elders in the family, my second brother and my second sister-in-law. If something happens again, I won't be able to handle it alone."

"Look at other people's boys learning to cook and wash clothes? Isn't your second sister-in-law already married? You two women can't wash the clothes for the six people in the family?" One of the aunts said.

"Hi, they came here to wash clothes for the whole afternoon yesterday, and I helped them finish the job." It turned out to be the long-haired sister-in-law who washed clothes with her yesterday.

"Mrs. Zhou, are you being a charlatan again? There are only six people in their family, and you've spent an entire afternoon just doing laundry. Are you imitating the capitalist ladies of the past?"

"Cuicui, what are you talking about? This child also comes from a working-class family. His father works in a food factory. The daughter of a capitalist would have been sent to a farm for reform long ago. How could she marry into our factory? Don't say such things carelessly. It will affect the image of our factory."

"What's more, she's a well-educated girl. She's always ranked first in exams since she was a child. She won't be bad if she takes over Old Jiang's job." This is Aunt Cui from the neighborhood office.

"Aunt Cui, how do you know everything?" With so many people around, there was always someone to join in the conversation.

"I looked at their information when I was handling the paperwork for them. I'm just doing laundry, and I haven't been able to talk about it every day. I just think about my children's future. Aren't they going to have a holiday exam soon?"

"The exams should be over this week. In a couple of days, the family compound will be full of people beating up kids. They all failed. They're always gossiping about other people's affairs, and they're all gossipy. If the kids follow their example, how can they learn well?"

After saying this, Aunt Cui looked at Gu Lixia and said, "We're just chatting for no reason. This isn't directed at you, little Gu. We're pretty united in our compound."

"As for children learning to wash clothes and cook, our children can do it too. When their father and I are not around, they come home crying with hunger. I don't know how they learned to cook."

"What's more, you two are kind-hearted young couple, raising these three children. If these three children don't obey their parents when they grow up, they will be ungrateful. Even if they don't call you mom and dad, they must call their uncle and aunt for the rest of their lives."

"Each family should educate their own children the way they want, regardless of what others say. Raising three children of similar ages is like fighting a war."

"There are four of us in my family, all of us are kids. When we were little, we had to steam a whole pot of steamed buns for dinner, but it wasn't enough. I also had to pick two dishes and make soup."

"I was exhausted every day, and I had to work hard in the fields to earn work points. Later, my child's father became capable and brought us to the city. During those two years, I wasn't used to it, and he didn't let me work."

"Then I got this job. After I started working, I realized how good it was to be at work. I don't have to stay at home every day listening to four kids fighting."

"Later, when the children grew up, they all joined the army. I was even happier. They would come back to visit occasionally, and I would feel close to them. Usually, I would feel more comfortable with your Uncle Cui."

"Aunt Cui, you finally made it. Now that you're a mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about your daughter-in-law taking care of your grandson." Gu Lixia was very supportive. After all, elders like this who don't meddle in other people's affairs always make people happy.

"Hey, I just had a grandson, and I was happy at that time. But my family has several boys, each two years apart, and when one has a grandson, the other one also has one."

"If there are too many, they won't love me anymore, that's it. I have to run to each of them to take care of their grandchildren, and I can't do my job anymore. I will just go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food and drinks for them and send them over."
