Half a month passed quickly, and during this time more than three children adapted to the daily life of going to and from school.
Even Chen Jianguo and Su Xia were busy and gradually adapted to the new environment.
Every morning after the family has breakfast, sometimes Chen Jianguo makes it, sometimes Su Xia does it.
As for the reason, everyone knows it.
Then they split up. Chen Jianguo took Niuniu to school and picked her up after class in the evening.
Su Xia takes her eldest son, 괗bao, to school on foot, then goes shopping or takes a walk, and then goes home to sort out all the household affairs.
After half a month, the vegetable patch in the backyard had been cultivated, and even the cabbages and radishes had sprouted green shoots.
There were 50 more bundles of firewood, each bundle was 20 cents, a total of 1 yuan, Su Xia wanted to give it to him with both hands.
There are two bags of coal briquettes next to the firewood, a total of 100 briquettes. I will buy a batch more after winter comes.
There was an extra clothes hanger in her and Chen Jianguo's room, which was an old piece of furniture that Su Xia bought from a scrap yard.
A base and a thick stick with 6 wooden forks on it, just right for hanging outer clothes.
There was an extra thick quilt in Baobao's room, and a fence around the edge of the kang, which Su Xia had built with old wood.
Dabao has the same thick quilt, as does Niuniu, but she just likes Suxia's clothes hanger.
Seeing that his daughter liked it, Chen Jianguo made one according to the recipe and even praised Su Xia afterwards.
"Wife, I didn't expect you to know these things?"
Su Xia replied proudly, "Just wait and see, I'll be able to do a lot more!"
Chen Jianguo gave her a kiss and smiled curiously.
In this way, the living room fireplace itself has no door, just a big open door, but the smoke goes along it.
Su Xia searched for a long time at the scrap yard before she found a piece of iron among the scrap iron products.
I took it home, cleaned it, scrubbed off the rust on it, then brushed it with oil, and aligned it with the fireplace. It was a bit big.
While no one was at home, I took out a bunch of tools from the space, including batteries, electric saws, cutting machines, and electric drills...
After a while, a small iron door appeared on the fireplace. When it was closed, it was also bolted, just in time to prevent the door from sliding open.
As for the consequences of the iron being heated and becoming scalding, Su Xia also thought about it, so she built a small wall with bricks around the fireplace, which was a half arc.
Apply cement and after it dries, apply a layer of white lime. Then you can leave it to dry in the sun and a small white wall will appear. You don’t have to worry about the children making noise or getting burned.
The upper part of the fireplace was made like a coal stove at that time, with a hearth, which was covered to prevent heat dissipation and smoke.
You can also put a kettle to boil water for drinking, and even use it as a casserole, a small wok, a stew pot or a frying pan.
Su Xia used the remaining white lime to repaint the outside of the fireplace, and the whole space instantly became much brighter.
Su Xia was also satisfied with the roof, because the county town already had the materials to make a tile ceiling.
As long as you pay attention to it, it will not be damaged or dirty.
There was a large vat, several small ones, and many jars in the kitchen.
These are prepared for pickling after the vegetables are brought back from the village.
There are two more shelves on the wall above the console, one for chopsticks, spoons, and shovels.
The other one is for seasonings, salt, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc. In this way, there is only one chopping board on the operating table, which looks much cleaner and tidier.
There are more large and small bowls in the cupboard, several sets, spare kitchen supplies, soup pots, fish plates, small and medium basins, etc.
There is an extra lid on the water tank, which is usually covered to keep the water clean.
The bathroom didn't change much, but Su Xia was not idle. According to the shape of the toilet behind her, she found a stool and dug a hole on it, which was exactly the size of the toilet.
Put a wooden barrel on the side, which is just a simple toilet.
Su Xia still remembers that her appearance shocked the four people.
"Wife, what is this for?"
"Yes, Mom, it's so smelly when going to the toilet in the room?" Niu Niu was a little disgusted.
Dabao and Xiaobao were very satisfied, vying for the seat back and forth, "Mom, can you put this in our room? It will save us from having to go there at night."
Dabao said with shining eyes, while Xiaobao anxiously hugged him and said, "No, this is Xiaobao, I use it."
Only then did Chen Jianguo understand the purpose of this thing, and then he looked at his wife with admiration, "You are really thoughtful."
Su Xia did not deny it, but still asked the man to put it in the warehouse first, and then said to the angry treasure, "I will use it this winter, now go to the backyard."
Upon hearing this, although Dabao and 괗bao were not satisfied, they still chose to obey. Niu Niu was not affected at all, because she had her own room door anyway and was outside in the winter.
In fact, Su Xia did this mainly for appearance, and also to take care of 괗宝 so that she wouldn't have to get up at night. Otherwise, she would have to get up at least twice at night. Who has the time for that?
There were some more tools in the warehouse, including a machete, a backpack, a basket, and a stone mill, a small stone mill used in the village.
There were also some miscellaneous items, all neatly and orderly arranged. There were also two bags of bean dregs on the ground, which were exchanged by Chen Jianguo.
In the past half month, Su Xia didn't go out for a stroll, nor did she have the opportunity to walk around. There was also a reason why she didn't want to go out.
Therefore, the neighbors around are still thinking about how to deal with it in the future if they encounter a prank.
Unexpectedly, she didn't come at all. Grandma Qiao sighed and cursed at her daughter-in-law, regretting marrying her into the family again.
"Qiao Damen, you're just incompetent. My eldest grandson has been working for a long time, but there's no news at all. What's the point of you?"
"And you, Qiao Tiemen, that's your son. Are you really going to watch him die?"
After scolding her husband and son, Aunt Qiao looked at her crying son and said, "And you, why are you crying? I told you to give the job to Zhenbang, but you refused. Now look, Zhenbang has been sent back to the village. What are you going to do as a mother?"
The atmosphere in the Qiao family was very serious. It was the first time that Qiao Zhenbang did not try to persuade his grandmother, because when he thought of his hometown, he still had complaints about his family.
Bang - Qiao Damen, the male owner of the Qiao family, a 58-year-old strong and thin old man, stared at his wife fiercely.
"Why are you shouting? Don't you know there's someone next door? Don't you mind being rude?"
Aunt Qiao was also dissatisfied. She was furious when she thought about her eldest grandson being exiled.
"Just listen, I don't care about them. They're just a bunch of dirtbags, what's there to worry about?"
When the others heard this, they frowned. Even Aunt Qiao and her daughter-in-law disagreed, but they were worried about their eldest son's work and naturally had no time to care.
Qiao Damen sighed softly, "I'd better step down and give the job to Zhenbang."
Hearing this, the others looked at the old man, only Grandma Qiao didn't say anything, she just looked at the old man, and sure enough, Zhen Liang's face was dark.
Seeing that no one spoke, Aunt Qiao said anxiously, "No, you are about to retire. It is not appropriate to retire now."
When Qiao Zhenbang heard his grandmother's words, he lowered his head in disappointment.
"Then what do you say we should do? There's still a month left and there's not even any recruitment information. Where can we find a job?" Qiao Damen frowned.
Aunt Qiao looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "Give me your salary. Why would a woman work like that?"
Qiao's daughter-in-law also knew that this was what her mother-in-law meant, but she was working hard, so would her son be suitable for it?
"Mom, that's a textile factory. How could Zhenbang possibly be operating a sewing machine?"
Aunt Qiao was stunned and looked at her grandson, "Zhenbang, you...?"
Qiao Zhenbang gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Grandma, that's a woman's job. I really can't do it."
If he were to use a sewing machine and hold a needle and thread, he would be worse off than in the countryside.
Aunt Qiao didn't know what to do when she heard this. The Qiao family crisis remained unresolved, so she could only wait for the follow-up.
