In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 201 Jiang Xiu's Future

"If you study hard and do well, especially if you rank in the top 10 on the midterm and final exams, you will be rewarded with meat."

Gu Lixia's promise came out of her mouth, but it was not meant to coax a child.

Huaibei also knew this and nodded.

The population of Jiangcheng this year is 111.17 million.

All units subscribed to the Jiangcheng Daily published by Gu Lixia.

School was no exception. Huaibei suddenly remembered the newspaper the teacher had read in class. "Second Aunt, do human traffickers really go to school to abduct children?"

Gu Lixia thought this was a good opportunity for education. "Of course. For example, when Goudan's grandmother went to pick him up from school, she told you that I had agreed with her to pick you up as well."

"You followed him. Maybe you went back to the family compound. Maybe he sold you out. The teachers at school think you went with someone you knew in the family compound. What if we can't find you?"

"It's no use reporting it to the police. You might have already been put on the train by now. Where is the train going? How many stations are there along the way?"

"One day, two days, three days, four days. You might be sold to the deep mountains and forests. You might lose your arms and legs. Or you might become someone's son."

"Hey, my second uncle takes us to school every day, and some people even whisper that we are not weaned yet. But it would be nice if I could ride a bicycle." Huaibei sighed.

Gu Lixia felt that this child was really good at self-regulation.

It’s still early to finish the meal, only mid-morning.

Gu Lixia didn't want to go out, so she stayed at home and swung on the swing. Jiang Wen took his family, big and small, out, herding geese, carrying dirty clothes and bed sheets.

Huainan was holding the ball. It was his favorite and he was the best kicker among all the children.

When they arrived at the riverside, Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu washed clothes first.

The children went to play football. Now the goose no longer needed anyone to watch it, and they were having a great time.

Jiang Wen felt that there were not many clothes, so he soaked the sheets, quilt covers and clothes in water first.

She called her younger sister to go play with the children as well, but Jiang Xiu saw that there were too many children and she couldn't let go, so she shook her head and refused.

Jiang Wen had played basketball alone in the front yard of the space a long time ago, and thought he should be able to play with the ball as well.

Since my sister doesn't want to go, I'll go by myself.

Jiang Wen stood opposite Huaibei, and when the football was kicked towards him, he kicked it away, and the football flew behind Huainan.

Huainan watched the football fly over his head.

My second uncle is really something. He doesn't even wash the clothes but comes down to go against me.

A group of children were not willing to be outdone. Wang Ze was the first to grab the ball and kick it towards Jiang Wen, imagining that he was kicking Jiang Wen himself.

As a result, Jiang Wen played with a group of children, and he took the children for a walk just like walking a dog.

As they were playing, some of the children slowly left.

Only Jiang Huainan did not give up and kept running.

Jiang Wen stopped playing after he started sweating and gave up on his own initiative, which made the group of children happy.

Jiang Xiu saw Jiang Wen coming over and knew that he was done playing and was going to do the laundry.

Both the brother and sister have good personalities. Jiang Wen seems to be using the washing machine in the space frequently now, but in fact, he is not at all vague when doing these tasks that he used to do.

There were many women washing clothes during this time, and they couldn't help but ask why Gu Lixia didn't come.

Jiang Wen said, "I'm cleaning up at home. There's a lot of work to do around the house."

They have all lived in the same yard for more than 20 years. Some give face to others and some don’t.

Those who gave him face nodded, smiled and walked away.

Those who don't give face are always looking for trouble. "What kind of work is there at home? I don't think there is any work at home. There are no elderly people lying in bed to take care of, nor are there any children lying in bed to take care of. Where does all the work come from?"

Jiang Wen is not a person with a good temper, and his good temper is only shown to his family, not to outsiders.

"Then why are you washing these clothes, Aunt Hua? I remember that your sons have all married and your daughters are married off, so why are you still waiting for them to wash clothes, and wash two such large baskets at a time? What are these wives doing hiding at home?"

As soon as Jiang Wen finished speaking, a group of people looked at Jiang Wen.

Aunt Hua has been gossiping about other people for years, and she's so used to it that she doesn't care. "Oh, they're all going back to their parents' house today. If I don't clean it up, it'll just be left there. I'm used to that, and I can't stand it."

Jiang Wen was too lazy to pay attention and said nothing.

As a result, Aunt Hua started to nag Xiu'er.

"Xiu'er, you've been admitted to junior high school this year. In two years, you'll be 16. Jiang Wen, what are your plans? You're not planning on sending her to the countryside, are you? I heard from your dad that you were going to the countryside and wanted Xiu'er to take over his job."

"If you don't go to the countryside and have a job, you can get engaged now. There are many young men in our courtyard. Do you have a favorite family? If so, I will help you find a matchmaker."

Jiang Wen directly stated his plan. "When my mother passed away, she told my father that my sister couldn't be married off and bullied. We need to find a son-in-law in the future. The conditions for finding a son-in-law must match the situation of our Jiang family."

"The man needs to be alone, with no relatives. He needs to have graduated from high school and be employed. He can live with us or at his place, but it's best if he lives with us."

"But, after the child is born, he must be ranked according to our family. Now in our family, Huainan is the eldest, Huaibei is the second, and Huaixi is the third. In the future, my wife and I will have the fourth, fifth, and sixth children. When Xiu'er gets married and has children, we will continue to be ranked seventh and eighth."

"After all, our Xiu'er, as an aunt, although I can't say that I raised my nephews by hand, but I am not much worse than their biological mother. So there is no need to worry about no one to take care of them in their old age."

"The main reason is that our Jiang family is small. If there were more people, we could have several daughters, and they would all be married off easily. But my mother only gave birth to this one daughter. This was her only wish before she died."

"My dad agreed a long time ago. Even though both of us are gone now, we still have to do what we have to do. Besides, Xiu'er is still young. It will be four years before he finishes high school. We'll see then. There's no rush."

Jiang Wen's words made all the aunts and sisters-in-law stop what they were doing.

Stunned, you look at me, I look at you, you wink at me, I wink at you.

"The Jiang family was almost wiped out."

"Yes."

"Shouldn't you marry into a family with many brothers and sisters if your family is small?"

"It's almost the same for girls to go to junior high school."

"However, we'll see if Jiang Xiu has any work at the time."

Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu naturally noticed that they were winking at each other.

It does not matter.
