That day, when the two brothers, Huang Lao Er and Huang Lao Er, went to sleep, it was already past midnight.
The door, which had just been repaired, broke into the same hole in the same spot again. It took a lot of banging and knocking before it was finally repaired.
That night, Xie, who had been looking for an opportunity to deal with Huang Lao Er, failed. As soon as Huang entered the house, he began to meditate and remained so until dawn.
After waiting until midnight, Xie finally had no choice but to close her eyes and go to sleep in a huff.
As a result, I kept yawning when I got up at dawn.
On the other hand, Huang Lao Er had a rosy complexion and was full of energy, as if he had eaten and drunk his fill in some indescribable event.
“Huang Shu,” Xie Shi said, pointing to the nearly empty water vat, clearly displeased with her husband’s behavior. “Fill the vat with water, then go to the backyard to chop firewood.”
"Fill it up?" Huang Lao Er asked, puzzled. "Isn't it usually enough to fill two buckets?"
In the past, there was no other way but to fetch water from the old well in the village. Now that we have our own well, it's much easier to get water, and we only need to fill two buckets each time.
The main reason is that we have young children at home, and we're afraid they might fall in while playing.
He was really puzzled by this. There was a well, so why did his mother insist on having someone carry the water to the water tank whenever they needed it?
The water in his well is crystal clear, not muddy at all, and doesn't need to be clarified.
“Just do it, stop with the nonsense,” Xie said haughtily, turning her face away. “After you’re done, go chop firewood in the backyard. We don’t have enough firewood at home.”
She paused for a moment, then added, "Chop up all the firewood in the pile. It's better to do one thing for two people, since you're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
You're always so busy, let's see if you have time to meditate.
snort!
“No,” Huang Lao Er retorted in a low voice, “We still have to work today. How can we finish chopping in two hours?”
The demolition itself took more than ten days to cut back, and you expect him to finish it in two hours? Isn't that making things difficult for him?
“If you can’t finish chopping, come back and keep chopping,” Xie said nonchalantly. “There will always be a time when you finish chopping.”
In short, we must never let anyone be idle.
When he gets into practicing his kung fu, he forgets about his wife and kids. Is this something a human would do?
"Alright then," Huang Lao Er said without much thought, and went to the woodshed with a bitter face after fetching the water.
Jiang Nuan had been watching the show for a while, and only came out after her son left. "What? Did the second son do something stupid again?"
“That’s right,” Xie complained, pouting. “He’s been so focused on practicing his martial arts lately that he’s forgotten about us.”
“It has gone too far,” Jiang Nuan nodded. “I taught you all to improve your health and make your lives more comfortable, but now we’ve put the cart before the horse. The second son really needs to be disciplined.”
Even with a knife to his throat, he couldn't abandon his wife and children; he really needs to be taught a lesson.
However, it's a bit of a problem. She used to be able to secretly add water, but today the tank is full.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Nuan said, "We're having porridge today, I'll make it. Jiao Jiao, you go wash some vegetables."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Madam Xie didn't think much of it.
After no one was in the kitchen, Jiang Nuan poured the well water from her space into the pot and then added various ingredients.
I used to think I wasn't lazy, but after coming here I realized that I was just not lazy.
In Huangjiakou, from the elderly to three-year-old children, no one sleeps until eight o'clock. They usually get up at dawn and start their day's work.
Even after cleaning the house, the women would still be sewing shoe soles, so they rarely had a moment of leisure.
Jiang Nuan herself is busy all day long, and when she occasionally makes an excuse to go back to her room to rest, she is actually busy in her space.
She never imagined she would be so diligent.
