Wang Fang, the 21st century's golden-collar TV screenwriter, has successfully switched to a new identity!
What’s a little bit of hardship?
Having no money is the real hardship!
Under a dim kerosene lamp, a beautiful figure was writing furiously.
I saw the man sitting on a small stool, lying on the edge of the bed, his hands constantly writing, making a rustling sound.
It turned out that Wang Fang was writing furiously on the bed.
The family was so poor that there were only stools in the house, not even a table.
She even found a small stool for washing vegetables in the yard, used the bed board as a table, and wrote like a dragon!
I already had an outline and structure in my mind, and since no one was disturbing me, I finished writing the content for the essay competition in less than an hour.
There are still a few more articles to come, and she needs to think about them.
She was used to thinking things through in her head before writing, which was not difficult.
She put away the manuscripts for the essay contest and put them under her pillow. She would write two more essays to submit tomorrow and send them together.
If she made money, the first thing she wanted was to buy a desk so that she wouldn't have to lie down so tiredly.
After writing for a while, she felt a little sore in her back.
It was quite hot writing by the kerosene lamp. When I finished writing, my head and back were soaked with sweat.
It is very hot in summer, and the heat from the walls is bubbling out.
It’s much cooler outside!
The whole person feels refreshed.
When we arrived at the yard, the men had not returned yet.
My mother-in-law has finished eating and cleared the dishes.
The food was still there, covered with a colander.
Well, she had nothing to pack, so she took the bucket and went to take a shower.
It’s summer now and people here like to take cold showers.
She adapted too.
It's hot in the summer and there is no air conditioning or fans.
This is how people in rural areas cool down.
She now requires that the water she drinks every day must be boiled water, and she has adapted to other local customs.
There is no need to heat water specifically for bathing.
The bathroom is in the west wing.
There is not much glass in the valley, so there is no window in the bathroom.
The floor is paved with bricks, with drainage holes underneath and ventilation holes on top near the roof.
Usually, the men bathe in the river.
Sometimes I just rub it by the well.
Wang Fang could still recall a scene of several men bathing by the well, all wearing shorts, not completely naked.
Picture memory only lasts a few seconds.
You should have seen it when looking out through the window of the room.
The original owner, Xiaofang, didn't dare to look too much either.
The whole picture is very short.
I guess he didn't know what was happening outside, so he came to take a look out of curiosity.
In this era, it is considered restricted for women to watch men take a bath.
But it seemed that the three younger brothers never took a bath by the well again.
Maybe he also felt that having a woman in the family would make things different after all.
She came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, holding a kerosene lamp in one hand and a bucket with her dirty clothes in the other.
Before he came back, she washed her clothes and hung them up at night.
There was a pear tree in the yard that provided shade during the day, but at night the tree blocked out most of the light, and it became a bit eerie under the shade. Fortunately, she brought a kerosene lamp.
I just came out of a cold shower and the night wind is a bit chilly.
She felt very comfortable.
The temperature at night is about 30 degrees Celsius now. The room is even more stuffy, and the walls are emitting residual heat accumulated during the day. It's so hot!
The cicadas are still chirping in the campus, which makes the courtyard seem completely silent!
Just then, noisy voices rang out.
Wang Fang thought that it was Liu Gang and his four brothers who had returned.
When the four men entered the house, Liu Jian was carried back, and it seemed that he had injured his leg.
No matter how generous Guihua was, she still came out to check on her sons when she heard they had returned.
Liu Jian was already sitting on a stool at the dining table in the yard. Guihua hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Gang explained, "Mom, Liu Jian was careless and fell into a ditch. There happened to be rocks in it, so he broke his leg. He'll be fine in a few days. His hand is also injured."
This kind of thing happens several times a year.
The brothers were all fine before, why are they in trouble today?
Guihua couldn't help muttering to herself, "I was fine before, why did I hurt my leg this time? Why am I so unlucky..."
She thought again, this means one less person to work in the fields, and one less income.
A broken bone needs at least a month to heal. If it doesn't heal in a month, it might take another 100 days.
"Gangzi, why don't you keep an eye on your brother? He's injured and can't go to work. What should we do?"
She was also worried about her family.
Now it’s like three people working to support three mouths at home!
At the end of the year, there will be less food to distribute.
And she also said that she was pregnant with two more babies, so how could she not be worried?
It’s not a good idea to let Wang Fang go back to work now.
Liu Gang knew what his mother was thinking and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, there's still food to eat at home. Just take good care of Xiaofang at home."
In fact, Xiaofang doesn't need much care now.
Now Xiaofang also cooks lunch and dinner.
Wang Fang saw several people coming back from outside and brought out a few bowls of water, which they drank down in one gulp.
She gave Liu Gang an idea. This was a collective incident, and in modern times, it would be considered an occupational injury.
"Brother Gangzi, you can talk to the team leader about this matter with my third brother. He went to help tonight for the benefit of the village. Although the injury was accidental, it was also a work-related injury.
