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

Mrs. Zhou lived next door to Deputy Director Bai's house. On the way back, many people saw her and her second son with sullen faces, and the second son's hair was wet.

The others guessed correctly. It must be the eldest son of the Jiang family who washed, and there was no water when the second son went in.

Before Gu Lixia could close the gate, Aunt Hu came over and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you leave with a sullen face?"

"Her family agreed that the eldest child would take the shower, but after the eldest child finished showering, the second child went in. We didn't say anything when they both went in, but then they ran out of water halfway through the shower, and they got angry."

"You said eight buckets of water wouldn't be enough. Our Jiang Wen came back from his night shift and started carrying water. I heard from Huainan that he carried 12 buckets to fill it up today, just to avoid carrying water in the scorching sun at noon."

"As for the foam on my body, I put shampoo in the bathroom at home. If someone goes in, can I still shout that they are not allowed to use it? Whether they will listen after I shout is another matter."

"Oh my? This is what happened. We agreed to wash the baby's hair using your shampoo, but it's so expensive that we can't afford it." Aunt Hu sighed.

Aunt Hu got firsthand information and left.

Gu Lixia closed and locked the courtyard door, went back to the house, and entered the space.

After Jiang Wen's work time came, I sent him off, closed the gate again, went back to the house, and went into the space to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already the morning of the 4th. Gu Lixia thought about the gossip in the family compound today and felt secretly happy.

I washed up, left the room, cooked some rice and millet porridge, boiled some eggs, and mixed some cucumbers.

After eating, it was time to go to work, so I went to work.

Jiang Xiu continued to make curtains, and directed her second brother who had just finished get off work to twist the wire rings and continue making curtains.

Jiang Wen eats and carries water.

Jiang Xiu was hanged on the top of the head.

After carrying eight loads of water, he stopped and went back to his room to sleep.

Jiang Xiu made the curtains, took the three children to the river, and washed them with Jiang Huainan.

After coming back to dry them, I went outside again, making insoles while watching my three nephews play.

The women sitting together were gossiping about yesterday's events, and Jiang Xiu didn't need to interrupt. This group of people were speaking the facts and the truth as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

If Huainan hadn’t told it yesterday, Jiang Xiu would have believed it.

When it's time to cook, everyone goes home to cook.

Jiang Xiu prepared the meal and Jiang Wen also got up and went back to the room after eating.

Gu Lixia continued to lead Jiang Wen into the space to plant sweet potatoes.

We planted them all this time, a total of 320 sweet potato seedlings.

Jiang Wen also wants to grow corn, although he doesn't have many seeds.

But last time I only planted a little in the yard, 130 seedlings, and half a month later they have grown an inch taller.

Corn has a growing period of 80 to 120 days and should be edible.

This bag of seeds was bought by Gu Lixia the year she first got the space, 1200 seeds.

In 7 years, I planted almost 1000 seeds.

Another 130 were planted in the Jiang family yard, and there were not many left.

It was time for Gu Lixia to go to work, so she left the space.

Before leaving, Jiang Wen was told, "Let all four children eat a piece of pagoda candy. Don't let them go out to play. The roundworms in their stomachs need to be expelled. If they feel like going to the toilet, let them run home. None of us can predict when they will have the bowel movement."

Jiang Wen remembered this and didn't sleep. He woke up a few people and asked Jiang Xiu to find it. He watched the four people eat one each.

Then I went back to catch up on some sleep.

When Gu Lixia came back at night, she didn't dare to hold the two little ones, for fear that they might still be alive when she suddenly pulled them out.

When Gu Lixia and her brother were young, they both passed a long, thin roundworm after eating pagoda candy.

After eating, continue into the space to plant corn.

Sure enough, 126 seedlings were planted.

Jiang Wen continued to catch up on his sleep.

Gu Lixia sent him away.

I came back into the space, took out the pot of mint, put it on the windowsill outside, went into the house, and went into the space to sleep.

On the 5th, I got up in the morning and asked Jiang Xiu to dig the soil in the yard, fill 3 pots with mint, pick the mint, and put it on the windowsill of Jiang Huai's south room, the windowsill of the main room, and the windowsill of Jiang Xiu's own room.

No. 7 Jiang Xiu was diagnosed with roundworms.

It was thin and long, and still alive when it came out.

Jiang Huainan is also in line.

The two younger ones in No. 8 are also in line.

The 9th was another Sunday. Gu Lixia got up in the morning and planted some mint seedlings on her windowsill.

Then steam the steamed buns and cook porridge.

While I was cooking, an unfamiliar woman came in from the door.

The woman went straight to the main room as soon as she entered the house. When she saw the smoke coming out of the chimney, she knew that someone from the Jiang family was in the kitchen.

"My last name is Qian. Today it's our Lu Fang's turn to take a bath. I saw smoke coming out of the chimney, so I came to say hello to you." Mrs. Qian's voice came before she even showed up.

Gu Lixia also said, "It's okay, you can do it, right? Take the funnel up, move the small disc aside and insert it. We have a rope on the top of the gate, you can hang it up, pour it in, and finally move the small disc back."

Gu Lixia saw Jiang Xiu coming out and sent Jiang Xiu up to help.

I didn't care about it anymore, mainly because it was my first time doing it and I didn't know how to do it, so I needed some teaching.

As soon as Mrs. Qian and Jiang Xiu went upstairs, her husband came over with a full load of water.

After pouring two buckets of water, Mrs. Qian sighed, "This is such a waste of time this morning. It's just two buckets of water. I can wash it in the basins drying at home, but I won't do it anymore. It's too much effort. I wasted my time this morning and can only wash it in the evening."

"If I had a house like this, I wouldn't want one either. It's too tall. Why didn't you build a shorter one? Two meters is almost enough. It would be too tall for my waist."

After sighing, he hurried back.

This is exactly the effect Gu Lixia wants. Not all parents are willing to spend time every day to come and pick up the water.

Basically, it’s too troublesome to do it once, especially for the people living nearby.

People from far away are willing, but Jiang Huainan and Jiang Huaibei are still young and have a limited circle of friends.

This is the advantage of having young children.

If someone as old as Jiang Xiu also came, to be honest, two buckets of water might not be enough.

After dinner, Jiang Xiu cleaned up the pots and pans.

Not long after Jiang Huainan went out to play, Jiang Wenzhen finished his meal and cleaned up the bowls he had used.

Jiang Huainan came back and informed that it was Grandma Su who asked her to hold the quilt.

So Gu Lixia went to get the quilt back.

Let Jiang Wen go into the space to rest first.

I took two sets of green four-piece suits with me when I left the space. Then I found another set of pink four-piece bed sheet suit that I had prepared for Jiang Xiu last time in the closet.

They gave Jiang Xiu one pink and one green.

I took another green set and went to Jiang Huainan's house to sew a quilt cover with Jiang Xiu.

Two people face each other and sew the longer 3-meter side first.

Then sew from the 2-meter side to the middle, and Jiang Xiu locks a one-meter wide opening.

After sewing, she called Jiang Huainan back and asked him to watch them make the bed and put on the quilt cover.

There is a thin string at the opening of the quilt cover, which can be tied into a slipknot. Tie two slipknots together.

Next, I found the four remaining pillows at home, took them apart, and put the buckwheat flour skins into bags.

Remove the pillowcase as well.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu brought the three Jiang Huainan brothers with them.

I took the basin to Hewanwan to wash the buckwheat flour skins, and came back to dry them.

Gu Lixia makes lunch.
