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

Chapter 84 Fuel

"I understand everything he said..."

"me too……"

The workers praised each other and then dispersed.

Gu Lixia returned to the office.

He picked up the enamel pot and drank the water in big gulps.

No intense vocal use for a long time.

My throat is dry, itchy and sore.

After drinking water, I started writing the summary report.

Before leaving get off work, I went to find Deputy Director Liu to sign and came back to file it.

As soon as Aunt Shen said it was time to get off work, I stood up and rushed home.

The main reason is that I drank too much water and needed to go to the toilet.

Address physiological needs.

When I got back, I happened to meet Jiang Wen carrying a basket of eggs. It turned out that the Jiang family didn't buy the eggs listed in the July food supply book.

It just so happens that five kilograms are supplied every month during this period.

Jiang Wen went to collect the July supplies.

Gu Lixia recalled her memories.

When the Gu family buys vegetables, they never ask about the quality, but only look at the price. They never think about enjoying them in advance and have no idea about the season and order in which the vegetables are on the market.

I only go to the Gu family when their food is sold in bulk. I can't bear to spend it, and I can't afford it.

This is also because the weather is hot now, and the hens in every household in the countryside are laying eggs.

After October, it will be November, December, January and February.

Basically, even if there is a supply, it still depends on luck to buy it.

First come, first served.

In the original owner's memory, even if the Gu family had a supply of fine grains, they never bought them, but always replaced them with stalks of rice and sorghum.

There are mainly three men, each one is a bigger eater than the other.

Mother Gu also ate a lot. The only one who ate little was the original owner, a fool.

After saying something to Jiang Wen, he left.

Gu Lixia went straight to the toilet in the yard to meet her physiological needs.

I feel like I'm going to pee my pants if I'm any later.

Come out of the toilet.

Bend down to look at the goslings in the goose house.

Each one is lively and cute, chirping.

Full of vitality and vigor.

Gu Lixia thought that she had nothing to do, so she squatted down and watched for a while.

Jiang Wen came back soon.

Gu Lixia followed him to the main room.

Jiang Wen asked with concern as he took the eggs out of the basket. "How was it? Today was your first time speaking without a script. I noticed you didn't look at your notebook much this morning. When I was reciting the text, I kept looking up and down. I kept feeling like I was remembering it wrong."

"It's okay. After I finished speaking, I went back and drank a jar of water, then wrote the report, went to find Deputy Director Liu to sign it, and filed it when I came back." Gu Lixia has the system, a cheating tool.

In addition, I am not afraid of the stage, and the workers' reaction is the best proof.

"Jiang Wen, this coal book only supplies 200 kilograms of coal per month. Can we only supply 2400 kilograms of coal?"

As the saying goes, the seven necessities of life are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. In this era, people need fuel to cook, boil water and keep warm in winter. Fuel is particularly important for keeping warm in the snowy winter.

The memory of Jiangcheng people burning coal for heating is that it was snowy outside the window, but warm as spring inside the house.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, residents mainly burned broken coal or coal balls, and honeycomb coal appeared.

Honeycomb briquettes are a type of processed coal that is shaped like a honeycomb.

Generally, large pieces of coal are purchased directly.

Just put a large piece of coal in the evening.

While cooking the three meals a day, I would use an axe or hammer to break the large lumps of coal into pieces.

Because the pieces burn more easily, the water in the stove will boil more quickly.

Jiang Wen didn't know why he asked this question in August, but he answered anyway. "That's about enough. You know, from April to October, we burn wood bought from the village. I used to go up the mountain to collect firewood and bring it here on a cart. We burn coal in October, November, December, January, February, and March. We burn less in October and March this year. We burn more in the other four months."

"You also know that the Gu family lives in a tube-shaped building. They use an iron stove to heat the house in winter. We only use the stove at night in October and March. Do we use it during the day in the other four months?" Gu Lixia couldn't imagine how to go back to her home which was like an ice cave during the day.

"Basically, I light a fire once a day. I heat it up during mealtimes, and after dinner, I just put a big piece of charcoal and keep the fire going. It's pretty much the same at night." Jiang Wen told the truth.

"But my eldest brother has a classmate who works at the coal station. Every year, my dad brings two bottles of wine to have dinner with him. In addition to the amount of coal supplied by the book, he can also buy us about 1000 or 1500 kilograms. It depends on the situation. He won't accept more than that."

Gu Lixia was very satisfied with this answer.

"Where is the firewood? Should we buy it from the village or from individual villagers?" Gu Lixia asked again. This involved the issue of survival.

In later generations, global warming was caused by large-scale resource development.

In Peicheng where Gu Lixia is, winter has arrived, with temperatures reaching minus 20 degrees Celsius, 25 or 26 degrees Celsius.

Gu Lixia guessed that the current temperature would reach 35 or 36 degrees Celsius or even 40 degrees Celsius in winter.

Jiang Wen understood Gu Lixia's precautions. "Well, the village collective won't have any. Farmers harvest more at home, and if they carry a load into the city, they can get half a tael of grain coupons. Let's wait until the end of September. I'll talk to the villagers and ask for more."

This is a time when the temperature is abnormal in previous years.

The entire winter vacation is two months.

Jiang Wen stayed at home all the time and never left the house except to go to the toilet.

Just lie in bed wrapped in the quilt.

Even in winter nights, only two kangs were heated.

When there were only three of them, Jiang Wen and his father slept in the main house of the Jiang family, and Jiang Xiu slept on the small kang in the kitchen.

When Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang came back, Sister-in-law Jiang said that she was not feeling well and needed to sleep on a heated kang, so they changed the room and moved Jiang Wen and Father Jiang to the room next to the kitchen.

In winter, Jiang Xiu still slept on the small kang in the kitchen.

Based on Jiang Wen's understanding of Gu Lixia, the Jiang family will definitely not let Jiang Xiu sleep on that small kang starting from this winter.

In winter, it will definitely be the same as it is now.

The room must maintain a minimum temperature.

After all, only the two of them can enter the space, but no one else can.

Get the results you want.

Gu Lixia didn't insist anymore and just started to cook mung bean porridge.

The fire started by Jiang Wen.

Pour the mung beans and millet with alkaline noodles into the pot, cover it, and simmer over high heat.

The amount is about two bowls per person.

Gu Lixia only drank one bowl.

Jiang Wen drank two bowls.

The couple returned to the house, and Gu Lixia took some clean clothes and went out, pretending to take a shower.

Go back to the house.
