She is currently living in her nephew's house. If she goes back to her parents' home to visit relatives and stays there for a few days, it's fine. But now that she is divorced, she has to live at home for a long time. She can't just occupy her nephew's house without any sense of propriety.

If this person has no sense of propriety, he will become annoying over time.

My daughter must have a house to live in. Old Mrs. Shen originally wanted to discuss with the old man about building a house for the second daughter. Now that she has taken the initiative to bring it up, Old Mrs. Shen naturally agrees.

"Okay, let's build it next to Jiandong's house.

We have a large family, so we can finish building it in a few days."

Uncle Shen, the second uncle, and the third uncle patted their chests and said, "Yes, we have so many men in our family, we can help Second Sister build the house in a few days."

As soon as the second aunt came back, she took the initiative to ask for money to build a house. Li Caixia felt very comfortable. This second aunt was very sensible.

She had no intention of occupying her son's house.

To build a house, after eating, Old Man Shen took his three sons and grandson to the vacant lot next to Gu Jiandong's house to dig the foundation.

Gu Jiandong had his eyes open for work, especially digging and turning the soil, which he loved the most. After washing the dishes, he happily took a hoe and dug the foundation with Old Man Shen and the others.

Old man Shen and his friends were busy digging the foundation, while old lady Shen and her friends were busy with their own housework.

Shen Shuyu also wanted to find some work for herself. Seeing that there was no water in the water tank, she took two wooden buckets and went out to get some water.

In fact, Shen Shuyu could just carry the water jar to the well to fill it with water and then carry it back, but she was afraid of scaring others, so she gave up the idea.

Arriving at the well, Shen Shuyu threw the wooden bucket down, shook the rope, and easily lifted up the wooden bucket filled with water. Then he put another bucket down.

"Shen Shuyu, what a coincidence, you're here to fetch water too."

Shen Shuyu gently pulled the bucket up and turned to see the source of the sound. It was Zhou Jingchen. The white shirt on him seemed to be welded to his body. He wore it every day.

Even though they were two or three meters apart, Shen Shuyu could still smell the stench on him.

Seeing Shen Shuyu staring at him, Zhou Jingchen smiled confidently. See, he said that few women could remain unmoved by him.

Shen Shuyu must be regretting so much now that she couldn't marry me.

Zhou Jingchen lowered his head and adjusted his collar, waiting for Shen Shuyu to come forward and talk to him.

When he looked up, Shen Shuyu was gone again.

She walked away carrying the buckets! The two buckets were filled with water and were obviously so heavy, but she walked as fast as if she were carrying two empty buckets.

Zhou Jingchen: “…” What an ungrateful woman.

There was no water at home. Shen Xue had gone up the mountain to collect firewood and had not yet returned. He needed water, so Zhou Jingchen had to bring out a wooden bucket to fill it with water.

When Zhou Jingchen put the bucket down and lifted it up, he was not as relaxed as Shen Shuyu.

My hands were shaking, my forehead was sweating, and even my toes were straining. It took me a long time to lift half a bucket of water.

Aunt Yun Gui came to fetch water and saw this scene with disgust, "Zhou Zhiqing, are you capable of this?"

Zhou Jingchen felt that the word "OK or not" was implied, which sounded very uncomfortable. He had seen how barbaric these country women were. He said nothing, carrying half a bucket of water and taking a break. It took him half an hour to walk a fifteen-minute distance.

When he got home and saw a bundle of firewood in the yard, he knew Shen Xue had returned.

He scooped a bucket of water and brought it into the house. "Xiaoxue, you must be exhausted. Come, have a drink of water."

Shen Xue was touched, "Jing Chen, you are so kind to me."

No one was so nice to her at her mother's house. Her parents only asked her to pour them water.

Zhou Jingchen smiled gently, "Silly girl, you are my wife, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?

I'm back with some water, go take a bath now."

Shen Xue was sweating and her body was sticky. "Then I'll go take a shower."

She came out, and there was only a little water in the wooden bucket, not even enough for her to wash her feet. Didn't Jing Chen say he had just brought back some water? Where was the water? Did he spill it on the road?

She wanted to ask him, but was afraid that he would be angry, so she had to pick up the bucket with a shoulder pole.

"Jingchen, there's not enough water. I'll go out and get two buckets."

"Go ahead, slow down, I'll wait for you at home."

When Shen Xue came back and saw Zhou Jingchen lying on the kang like a big shot, she was a little annoyed.

"Jingchen, why didn't you cook?"

Zhou Jingchen turned over and said, "I'm so tired from fetching water just now. I'll lie down for a while."

Shen Xue: “…”

They didn't have much food, and she had to buy half a bag of cornmeal on credit from her second grandfather. She had to return it when the food was distributed at the end of the year.

Since she didn't have to work at night, Shen Xue made some steamed buns and a pot of wild vegetable soup.

"Jingchen, get up and eat."

"Why are you making steamed bread and wild vegetable soup again? Can't you make something else?"

He ate steamed buns with wild vegetables every day, and he almost became a steamed bun. He was also an educated youth sent to the countryside, and the fool gained weight, but he became as thin as a bamboo pole.

Shen Xue stretched out her hand and said, "Give me some money and I'll go to the commune to buy some meat tomorrow."

"..."

Ask him to take the money and Zhou Jingchen stopped talking.

Shen Xue: “…”
