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

Jiang Xiu carried a basin of wet clothes back home by herself.

Opening the door and entering the yard, Jiang Huainan took Jiang Huaibei out to play.

Jiang Xiu took Jiang Huaixi to hang up the clothes, quilt covers, bedding and fabrics.

She opened the door of her room, sat at the sewing machine and started making towels with fine cotton cloth.

Two dollars for myself, two dollars for my sister-in-law, and one dollar for each man, a total of 4 dollars.

I was afraid that my sister-in-law would not be satisfied, so I made 5 more pieces as a backup.

Sure enough, after get off work, Gu Lixia took 6 yuan and used it to wash her face, dry her hair, and wipe her body.

He also said that the old one was used to wipe feet.

Gu Lixia went to her room to get an axe and hammered eight nails into the door and windows.

He also nailed eight nails for Jiang Xiu. "Take the hanger from the closet and hang a new towel on it. Then hang the nails on it."

The towels should also be exposed to the sun, it is good to do so.

After dinner, Gu Lixia asked Jiang Wen to move the rocking chair to the gate of the yard and lie down on it.

Jiang Huainan went out to play.

Jiang Huaibei saw it and climbed up, and Jiang Huaixi also climbed up.

Jiang Wen was afraid that the two children would fall, so he went to Jiang Xiu's house and brought out another rocking chair.

Jiang Wen went out to fetch water with a bucket and brought it back to water the fields.

I found it difficult to get in.

He also asked Gu Lixia, Jiang Huaibei and Jiang Huaixi to come down and move one rocking chair to Jiang Xiu's room and the other to Gu Lixia's room.

Gu Lixia also had the sense to help water the plants directly. Carrying water was definitely not allowed, but watering was allowed.

Take a break whenever you can.

I asked Jiang Wen to go to the kitchen and move the two large water pots I had bought earlier. I placed them under the gate, at the entrance to the courtyard.

Jiang Wen poured water as soon as he entered the room.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu then scooped water from the big jar to water the fields.

Gu Lixia took advantage of this opportunity, her hands were wet, and she secretly put water in.

But he didn't dare to go too far. After all, Jiang Xiu knew that several buckets of water could fill up a liter.

Just be careful when watering the ground and use less water.

After watering the fields, Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu took turns taking a shower, and Jiang Wen washed the two younger ones.

I went out and called Jiang Huainan to come back and take a shower.

Jiang Huainan went out to brag, and came back with a group of kids following him.

Everyone come to the Jiang family to see the bathing magic tool.

Jiang Wen looked at Jiang Huainan who was showing off endlessly and said, "If you don't take a shower today, you can sleep wherever you want. We don't want you in our family."

"Okay, got it." Jiang Huainan lost himself in his friends' surprise and admiration, turning the device on and off for demonstration.

"Can I take a shower with you?" Wang Ze and Jiang Huainan had the best relationship as they went in and out together, so he asked to take a shower together.

"Okay, then go home and get some clean clothes." Jiang Huainan would not refuse Wang Ze, they were good friends.

The others watched Wang Ze go home and ran back after a while.

Jiang Huainan and Wang Ze took a bath together. Jiang Huainan also rubbed his friend's back because his uncle had rubbed it for him.

Wang Ze also imitated and rubbed Jiang Huainan.

A group of children, looking at the water flowing out of the cracks in the wall, stood at the gate of the Jiang family, waiting for their friends to come out of the bath.

I feel like my friends have become clean, but I am still dirty.

There is a little girl named Bai Xue, who also lives in this row, the fifth house on the left.

Bai Xue loves beauty and asks to take a bath at Jiang's house, which makes Jiang Huainan stumped.

Jiang Wen had been there the whole time, and he said, "There's no water. My uncle carried water all morning, and at noon each of us washed once. He carried four loads at noon, and now there's probably no water."

"Okay then, Uncle Jiang, when you're carrying water tomorrow morning, ask my dad to bring it with you. I want to wash. Can I wash first at noon tomorrow?"

Jiang Wenka knocked his head, and Gu Lixia came out and said, "Okay, let your father carry two buckets of water for you, hang it on the roof, and pour it in. Tomorrow morning you supervise your father, and I agree if your father carries water."

"No problem, I can do it. Then, Aunt Huaibei, we have an agreement. Jiang Huaibei and I are good friends. I will come again tomorrow morning. I'm going home." After Bai Xue finished speaking, she went home to announce the good news.

A group of children understood that their parents needed to carry water to Jiang's house. Some of the children's homes were even closer than their own, so they hurried home to report the good news.

"Bai Xue's family has always had only one son. After giving birth to Bai Xue's brother Bai Xu, she gave birth to Bai Xue again, so she was naturally favored." Jiang Wen explained.

If the door is not closed, the children will definitely come over with the adults in the family.

Sure enough, the first person to arrive was Aunt Hu, the Aunt Hu who led Gu Lixia that day.

His eldest grandson was among that group of children, and when he got home and told Aunt Hu about it, she agreed.

It’s just carrying two buckets of water. She is not like a young wife or a girl who doesn’t know how to carry water.

Aunt Hu had already mastered it. Her home was in a nearby village, not far away, just half a day's journey.

When they were young, Uncle Hu worked in a factory, and she farmed in the village and earned work points.

Later, Uncle Hu was able to get a separate house, and he shared it with his wife, children, and the elderly.

Afraid that someone else would take the house after they divided it up, the whole family moved in and moved in within a day.

Since they all came to the city, it was unsafe for a woman like Aunt Hu to go back to the village to farm, so she didn't go back and only settled her work points for that year.

Later, he lent money to Aunt Hu to buy a job as a cook in the canteen, and only then did he get a city resident permit.

When the children grew up and had no jobs, Uncle Hu retired. The eldest son took over his job, and the second son quickly took over Aunt Hu's job.

Aunt Hu and Uncle Hu were used to life in the city and were determined not to return to the village.

When their third son got married, Aunt Hu and Uncle Hu had no money, so the woman contributed both money and effort, and also found him a job.

The third son was raised by his third daughter-in-law's family, just like a son-in-law.

The younger daughter's marriage was neither good nor bad, but she never returned to her parents' home.

When they came back, the two sisters-in-law were unhappy.

Aunt Hu asked directly, "My son Qiangzi said that you have a magical bathing device at home. He wants to take a bath and wants to queue up. Does that mean Bai Xue will be in line tomorrow?"

Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen looked at each other and said, "Yes, Wang Ze will wash it today, Bai Xue will wash it tomorrow, and your Hu Qiang will wash it the day after tomorrow."

"Where did this thing come from?" Aunt Hu calmed down and started asking.

Jiang Wen said directly, "It's just a piece of black plastic sheet with openings at the top and bottom and a water pipe pulled out. You can wash while standing, and you don't need to waste firewood."

"Shall I go up and take a look?" Aunt Hu was eager to try.

The ladder was right there, so Aunt Hu climbed up directly, touched it, and lifted it.

It's plastic and light, but it has no water in it.

After watching it, I was ready to come down.

Before I could even wait, I saw families bringing their children into the Jiang family's house.

Aunt Hu quickly came down and made way.

Others were also curious and went up to take a look.

After coming down, everyone started talking about who would come to wash on which day.

Gu Lixia had already returned to the house when she saw a group of people.

Jiang Wen made no promises and simply said, "Wait until Hu Qiang is done washing them. Adults should bring their children along when washing them. I was the one who washed all three of our children. I was outside when Jiang Huainan and Wang Ze were washing them. If anything gets bumped or bruised, I can't afford to pay for it."
