The men in the Jiang family had no objection to the women in the family wanting to build a shower room.

I heard it's good for women's health, so I use it.

Su Miantang drew a sketch, and the men's and women's bathrooms were separated by a wall. There were no squat toilets, so they would not be used for the time being.

Considering the long term, she will have to pass the college entrance examination and leave here in one or two years at most. She will then rent a house and think about the equipment later.

In this way, two shower rooms of about ten square meters will be enough.

The place was chosen near the current kitchen, where there is a drain, which is convenient for adding water and draining water.

The fixed pulley device is very simple, and her husband understood it at a glance, and he also got the materials.

The estimated cost of bricks, tiles, mud and sand is eight or nine yuan.

For doors and windows, we used local materials. The eldest and second brothers went to the mountains to cut them, dragged them back and made them themselves. It was not a big problem.

Of course, everything in the mountains is public property now, so if you want to tell the team leader that it is for family use, not for profit.

Otherwise, if the shit pot is turned down, it will be shit anyway.

After the discussion, each family member took on their own responsibilities.

The brothers Jiang An and Jiang Lai then asked for leave from the team leader, saying that they wanted to build a house at home and needed to go to the mountains to cut some wood.

When the team leader heard that it was about building a house and he didn't want to make things difficult, he approved the leave and the woodcutting.

Of course, I have to remind you not to cut too much. A moderate amount is fine, but not excessive!

Jiang An nodded repeatedly and promised not to damage the terrain and vegetation on the mountain.

After dealing with the captain, the two brothers went home and began to dig the foundation and buy materials at a suitable location near the kitchen according to the drawings provided by their third brother's wife.

In addition to going to get off work as usual, Jiang Yang was also busy asking people for help and using connections, just to find the fixed pulley device parts that his wife mentioned.

After returning home, he would help his eldest and second brothers water the red bricks they bought.

Qian Duoduo was very curious about this:

“Why water the bricks?”

She didn't understand the reason, but she loved playing with water, so she found it particularly fun every time she watered the plants.

However, she still felt a little sad to see the clear well water being wasted like this.

Jiang Lai put down the water scoop in his hand and replied with a smile:

"Actually, I'm not too sure. This is the method the elders in the village told us."

After saying that, he continued to busy himself with other things.

By chance, Lin Fangfang poked her head out of the kitchen window and shouted:

"Second sister-in-law, come here and try the pumpkin pie I made."

"Hey, here comes sister-in-law~"

When Qian Duoduo heard that there was food, she stopped worrying.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and food is the biggest!

“It smells so good.”

Before she even took a bite of the pumpkin pie, Qian Duoduo sniffed the fragrance filling the room and sighed with emotion.

"This is my first time making it. My third sister-in-law taught me how to make it. I'm not sure if it tastes good. You can try it. If it's okay, I'll continue frying. Please take one plate to my third sister-in-law, and I'll send one to my mother's room."

Lin Fangfang explained with a smile that the pumpkin in the yard was ripe. She picked it in the afternoon and was thinking about how to eat it.

My third brother’s wife suggested making pumpkin pancakes, as we had flour, sugar, and oil at home.

To be honest, she really couldn't make up her mind. It had flour, sugar and oil, and she didn't dare to touch it.

I don't know when my mother-in-law came over and told her to do it, fry pumpkin pancakes.

Only after her mother-in-law gave the order did she dare to touch these ingredients.

"My sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good. She makes it right the first time. I ate this pumpkin pie once when I was a kid. It smells exactly the same, no, it's even more fragrant."

Qian Duoduo wiped her hands carefully, then cautiously took a piece of golden and fragrant pumpkin pie.

The pumpkin pie had an attractive color and emitted bursts of heat and charming aroma.

She blew gently on the pumpkin pie, trying to cool it down a little.

Finally, when she felt the temperature was just right, she couldn't wait to put the pumpkin pie into her mouth.

As soon as you take a sip, the sweet taste instantly spreads in your mouth, making you intoxicated.

The fresh aroma of pumpkin and the crispy texture after frying are perfectly combined to form a unique and wonderful taste.

Once you take a bite, you can’t stop.

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but sigh while chewing:

"Wow, this is so delicious! It's so fragrant and sweet!"

At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, if she had known that getting married would not only allow her to have enough to eat, but also allow her to eat so well, she would have gotten married long ago!

However, I remembered that my mother once told me not to rush into marriage before I reach adulthood, and that I should wait until I reach adulthood before considering this matter.

Then she quickly shook her head and said to herself:

"Oh my, forget it!"

At this moment, Lin Fangfang asked expectantly:

"How about it, is it okay?"

It turns out that as a cook, her greatest joy is seeing the satisfaction on others' faces when they taste the food she has made.

When she heard the question, Qian Duoduo nodded hurriedly, and her head kept shaking like a rattle.

She answered vaguely:

"Delicious, delicious, it's really delicious! Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are simply amazing. If you sell it outside, it will definitely be a big hit!

It’s a pity that you are not allowed to go out and do business casually now, otherwise you will easily be accused of speculation.

Sigh, when my grandfather was young, he traveled all over the country, even to Guandong..."

"Did your grandfather ever travel to Kanto when he was young?"

Lin Fangfang was curious and couldn't help asking a few more questions.

"Yes, but my grandfather was the third child in the family at that time. My great-grandparents were in their hometown and missed their youngest child. In the end, they tricked my grandfather into coming home and quickly arranged a marriage for him and my grandmother. They kept him by their side and didn't let him go."

Qian Duoduo nodded and said with regret:

"If my grandfather had stayed in Kanto, perhaps our family would be much better off now."

Her great-grandfather and second-grandfather both stayed in Guandong, one settled in the military family compound and the other in a food factory in the local county.

In short, everyone's conditions are better than hers.

When she was a child, her grandfather hugged her and talked about his youth with regret.

I regret it, but I also say it’s all fate.

If they had stayed in Kanto, perhaps they would have had good fortune and their descendants would not have to live a hard life.

But without her grandma, without her dad, I guess she would be gone.

Later, as the youngest son, my grandfather took care of my great-grandparents until their death. My great-grandfather and second grandfather would send letters and gifts back every year.

The correspondence stopped only after her grandfather passed away.

“Zizizizi~”

In the stove, the oil pan was sizzling.

While listening to the story, Lin Fangfang did not forget to flip the pumpkin pie in the pan with chopsticks.

Fry until both sides are golden brown and the sweet aroma is fragrant, then take it out...
