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

Jiang Xiu and Jiang Huainan quickly washed the rice, fished out the rice, and started a fire.

Gu Lixia came back and took a look, and made two dishes: shredded potatoes with green peppers and braised eggplant.

Jiang Xiu looked at the poured oil and knew it was useless, but she still gasped in pain.

Gu Lixia smiled and said, "I'll bring you 10 kilograms later."

"Really? That must cost a lot of money, right?" Jiang Xiu was surprised at first, then felt bad about the money.

Then I thought that I was feeling sad for nothing.

Anyway, my second brother doesn't care and lets my second sister-in-law do whatever she wants.

Jiang Wen installed various doors outside, and the first one he installed was the shower door. Since moving into this space to wash conveniently every day, Jiang Wen has become more concerned about cleanliness.

In the past, adults at home only had one basin, which was used to wash their faces, soak their feet, and wipe their bodies.

Working men would wash clothes in the factory, while children would wash clothes in the yard using heated water that was dried in the sun.

Jiang Wen rarely took a bath after he grew up. The factory didn't allow him to go there. Unlike in the village where he could go to the river to soak in the water, once he went into the moat outside, he couldn't get out.

After dinner, Jiang Huainan washed the pots and dishes.

Gu Lixia went to the bathroom to test the water temperature. The sun was strong, so she could take a shower.

So he took Jiang Xiu to the bathroom and taught her how to use it.

I came out and copied the board with the following flow.

He then pulled Jiang Wen into the shower room and nailed six nails to hang the mirror.

He then went to his own room, Jiang Xiu's room, and the main room and nailed up the mirrors as well.

I gave Jiang Xiu the Seagull shampoo and soap I bought earlier.

Jiang Xiu went in to wash up first.

It was the first time Jiang Xiu looked at herself in such a big mirror. She burst into tears while taking a shower after seeing her appearance.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen continued to install other doors. Uncle Zhao did a perfect job. They just had to fit them in and then slowly hammer them straight with an axe.

After the system prompted her that Jiang Xiu was crying, Gu Lixia went straight to the bathroom and asked, "Xiu'er, what's wrong? Did the wire cut your hand?"

Jiang Xiu didn't expect that her sister-in-law would notice her crying so softly, and she quickly said, "No, shampoo got into my eyes, it's okay."

"Okay, do you need a back rub? Can I come in?" Gu Lixia asked.

"No, I don't need that." Jiang Xiu quickly refused, but she was afraid that her sister-in-law would think she didn't wash it clean enough, so she said, "I brought a towel."

Jiang Xiu quickly washed off the foam on her body and head, changed into clean clothes, and came out holding the dirty clothes and towel.

Seeing that she didn't bring soap, Gu Lixia went in to get it and brought it to Jiang Xiu's room. "From now on, you will use this alone. You are a girl and boys are different. Didn't I give you two new washbasins? One for washing your face, and one for washing your private parts in the winter nights. You also have to use a special towel."

"Most of the fabrics are here with you. If you have cotton, you can cut them up and make some new towels. Once they're replaced, nail them on the windows and hang them up."

"Your second brother has gone to wash the three little ones. Are you busy this morning?"

"No rush. I took it to Aunt Su's house and sewed the quilt cover and mattress cover. I didn't have time to wash it, so I started cooking first." Jiang Xiu got over the discomfort and calmed down. She sat in front of the window and wiped her hair with a towel.

Seeing that Jiang Xiu was indeed fine, Gu Lixia took out a pair of scissors and a fine comb and prepared to cut the hair of the three children.

Jiang Huaibei was the first to finish washing. He took a stool that used to be on Jiang Huainan's desk and wrapped it with plastic sheeting. Only then did he remember to return the plastic sheets to each family.

I called Jiang Xiu and asked, "Why don't I see other people's plastic sheets? Did they return them?"

"Yes, my brother returned it on the 12th. After dinner, we took it and went to return it to each family. We have used it for several years. Every family treasures it very much."

"So that's how it is. I just took this piece." Gu Lixia lowered the comb to cut Jiang Huaibei's hair while speaking. This skill was learned when she was a child. Gu Lixia was the one who cut her brother's hair.

The haircut was completed in just a few minutes. After waiting for a while, Jiang Huaixi finished washing and asked Jiang Wen to rinse the broken hair on Jiang Huaibei's head first. Then he asked Jiang Xiu to sweep it with a brush.

Gu Lixia continued to wrap Jiang Huaixi with plastic sheet and cut his hair. Jiang Huaixi did not move, but Gu Lixia worked quickly.

Jiang Wenye waited for Jiang Huainan to finish washing, then continued to rinse the loose hair on Jiang Huaixi's head while Jiang Xiu swept it.

Then Jiang Wen also took a shower. When he came out, Jiang Huainan's hair had been cut. He then rinsed the loose hair on Jiang Huainan's head while Jiang Xiu continued to sweep.

Gu Lixia looked at Jiang Wen's hair and gestured. Jiang Wen also sat over and Gu Lixia continued cutting.

After the family had their hair cut, Jiang Wen went in to brush off the loose hair, and his sister Jiang Xiu came out to sweep it up.

Gu Lixia went into the bathroom, entered the space, quickly took a shower and washed her hair, put on exactly the same clothes, and came out.

Gu Lixia has always disliked bangs, as they are a nuisance. The original owner had bangs, and Gu Lixia simply pinned them up with a black hairpin. The original owner's yellow hair was so shabby, it was amazing.

But a month passed very slowly.

Jiang Wen had already swept up the hair outside and put it into a cloth bag. In winter, he would use mud and hair mixed together to make a paste for the stove.

Jiang Huainan moved the stool, and Gu Lixia took back the scissors and comb and put them back in the house.

Seeing that Jiang Xiu's hair was almost dry, he gave her 10 black hairpins.

Jiang Xiu had a lot of loose hair, so she had bangs. Seeing that her second sister-in-law could pin her hair up without it falling out, she also pinned her bangs up.

The face is dark yellow and the forehead is white.

It's a bit weird, but the bangs are not let down.

It's stuck and now it doesn't block my eyes.

I looked at the time and it was already 1:45, so I had to go to work immediately.

Jiang Wen came out, carrying a bucket and a shoulder pole to fetch water.

Jiang Huainan took the initiative to go to the main room, got the funnel and climbed up, and Jiang Xiu went up to cooperate in letting in water.

Jiang Wen carried four loads, and when the time came, he went to work with Gu Lixia.

Jiang Xiu and Jiang Huainan finished drinking water and came down.

I took the two kids to Jiang Xiu's house to take a nap.

After getting up, Jiang Xiu took out the watch left by her eldest brother and looked at the time. It was 4:30. She called her third nephew and took the quilt cover and mattress cover made in the morning, as well as other dirty clothes, cloths that needed to be washed, and a laundry basket.

Jiang Huaibei held the ball and led his younger brother to the river bend.

Jiang Xiu and Jiang Huainan washed clothes, quilt covers, mattress covers, and fabrics.

The two little ones were kicking the ball between each other.

Jiang Xiu took advantage of the fact that no one was around and asked directly, "Huainan, you and your second uncle went to pay the bill together. How much did you spend?"

"1028." Jiang Huainan said in a low voice.

"And then there's the uncles' wages. One yuan a day, fifty cents half a day, and 60 yuan for the Yang brothers' tools and materials. Uncle Zhao gets 10 yuan, 28 yuan, and 8 yuan. All paid for by Second Uncle."

"Huainan, Second Uncle won't take this money. You're grown up now and understand the truth. Don't blame Second Uncle for asking Second Aunt to work. If Second Aunt doesn't work, you'll have to go to the countryside to farm after you graduate."

"I know."

Jiang Xiu didn't say anything else and just focused on washing clothes.

After washing, Jiang Xiu asked Jiang Huainan to lead the two younger brothers and Huaibei to hold the ball.
