Zhou's mother nodded at her and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were making a mattress? Take the old quilt at home and modify it."
"The wages for the change are about the same as this. Just pay for the cotton and use a new mattress. It would be great if you could use a thin mattress for summer. If the kang is not heated, it will be very cold. You don't need to change the mattress in spring and autumn, just in summer."
"The mattress on your bed is also small. Has it been used as your mattress?"
"No, ours is still usable. We can make it anytime we want. Yours is urgently needed."
In one afternoon, Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiang made six quilt covers. Zhou Xiang asked her second sister to help cut them, and Zhou's mother just sewed according to her little girl's instructions.
"Okay, I'll sew the quilt cover tomorrow. I just need to sew the ends and then sew a seam on each piece."
"Okay! Let's go cook!"
At night, Zhou Yu was about to put on his own quilt. "Excuse me, second sister, do you feel uncomfortable being inside that dirty quilt? Can't you wait two days, take apart the quilt, wash it, sew it, and then put it on?"
"Don't be awkward, my quilt is quite clean, I'll cover it now."
"Okay, okay, I'm convinced. Give it to me and I'll teach you."
The two sisters put on the quilt cover and tied a few strips of cloth on the edge. "Okay, that's it. It's like putting a piece of clothing on the quilt."
Zhou Yu touched the quilt cover happily. This was the color he chose. It was great that he could make the decision for himself for the first time.
"Okay, stop being so proud. Next time when we make clothes, you can choose the fabric you like. Go to bed!"
Zhou Xiang entered the space again. He had to solve the aftereffects of sleepiness. Otherwise, if he used his mind in the space and didn't have time to make up for the sleep inside, sleeping outside for more than two days would be scary.
He directed the things in the space to run around, then felt sleepy and fell asleep in the space again.
space:???
I woke up on time when it was just dawn outside. Zhou came up with the idea of using space to kick my second sister to wake her up, but there was no response, so he forced me to use my ultimate move!
Picking up the coal lumps, wasting my coal, and not cooking here anymore.
Zhou Yu, who was woken up by the scald, went to cook obediently.
Zhou spent the whole morning sewing the quilt lining, folding it and putting it away, waiting for the quilt filling.
While eating the lunch Zhou Yu made, she said, "Second sister, your cooking has improved recently, and the taste has changed a bit."
"Really?"
"Really?! Come on!"
I took a chance and cracked two eggs to feed the puppy. The puppy looked much fatter than before. It was more than two months old, but it didn't even go out to watch the door. How lazy!
I've been struggling with my thoughts and sleepiness lately. I do nothing when I enter the space, but just mess with the things in it.
When I woke up again, it seemed that it was earlier outside the space than yesterday. Well, that’s some progress. As long as I persist to the end, I will win!
I couldn't deliberately wake up my second sister, which was a little regretful. During breakfast, Zhou wanted to announce that the bathroom and washroom were ready for use, so let's buy three bathtubs!
When Zhou's mother heard that her little girl bought so many jars, she was also worried.
"Why did you buy so much? Where should I put it?"
"Since the bathroom can be used, it must have water nearby for convenience, so buy a small water tank. The bathroom needs water for flushing, so you need a water tank and a water scoop. The kitchen also needs a water tank."
"Alright, alright, ask your dad to go with you. He can watch the tank."
Zhou Yu thought that it was a wonderful thing that he didn’t have to go back anymore.
After breakfast, Zhou Xiang went out with her father. When they arrived at the store, she said she wanted to buy a water tank. The salesperson came out from the counter and took the father and daughter out of the store, turned left, walked past two stores, turned left again, and went around to the back door of the store.
"They are all here, you can choose for yourselves! Once you have chosen, come in and pay." After saying that, he went straight in through the back door. He must have just done that to show people the way.
Father Zhou reached into the tank, tapped the tank, listened, then tapped it in a different direction and listened again. "This tank is good. No cracks, no bubbles."
He picked out a few more and found one that he thought was good.
Finally, they picked two medium-sized jars and a small one. Zhou wanted to buy a water ladle, but his father stopped him, saying, "Don't buy it. I'll go get a big gourd and cut it into two water ladles."
Okay, as long as you can open your mouth and ask for it, that’s fine.
Zhou's father went to the street to call a cart, and put the three cylinders down. Zhou's father followed the cart, and Zhou Xiang went in through the back door of the store to pay.
When the tank was brought home, the cart driver was asked to lift it to its proper place. The cart driver was surprised for a while when he saw the bathroom.
Zhou wanted to fetch some water and asked his second sister to clean the pot in the kitchen, but Zhou Yu refused.
"If you don't wash, I don't care. I'm going to fetch water and fill those two jars. Tomorrow when you cook, go to the south room and fetch water for cooking."
"It's your turn to cook today, and it's definitely your turn to wash the groceries after we get them."
"Oh! Then from now on, I'll buy things that need washing up on the days you cook!"
"Okay, okay, I can't convince you, so can't I just go and do it?"
"Clean it up, that vat is for cooking."
"I know, you're so nagging." Zhou Yu reluctantly went to clean the tank. The little girl always threatened him. Isn't it because she has money and can control the time of shopping? It would be great if he could earn money.
After cleaning the vat, Zhou Yu watched his sister carry half a bucket of water and pour it into the vat.
"I'll carry it, you fetch the water."
"Hey, the sun is rising from the west today? You're being so kind for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Humph! He was still being sarcastic even though he was doing things for her. "You said I'm bored staying at home all day? Can you help me find a way to make money?"
"Selling breakfast."
"No, not only would it be embarrassing to get up so early, but it would also be embarrassing. If people see me, they'll think it's the eldest daughter of the Zhou family who was transferred from the county to the food station selling breakfast! Dad will definitely think I'm embarrassing him."
"Setting up a grocery stall."
"Who can help me pull the goods out? Besides, can I beat Yang Jim's mother in grabbing it?"
"Vegetables for sale!"
"I have to get up very early to buy vegetables."
"I have a way to make money without getting up early or working hard."
"What method? Tell me!"
"Rob a bank!"
"You're fooling me!" Zhou Yu threw the bucket away and refused to fetch water for you.
Zhou Xiang poured out half a bucket of water on the spot, carried it to the bathroom, and poured it into the tub.
You are too tired and want to get up too early, but you still want to make money quickly. The only way is to rob a bank. Don’t believe it!
When Zhou's mother came back at noon, she saw that the three tanks were full of water. She believed that her eldest daughter would definitely not take the initiative to do it, so she gave some special instructions.
"Next time you cook, fill all three tanks with water in the morning. If there's no water in the washroom or toilet, you'll be fined!"
Zhou Yu wailed in his heart. There were more and more things to do. If he went out to earn money, he wouldn't have to do housework every day, right?
"Mom, I want to start a small business."
"Oh? What little business?"
