Chapter 80 80, Lou Xiao’e’s daily life
To say that the pace of life these days is slow is a relative term.
Divide the twenty-four hours a day into work and life. Which part of life belongs to mobile phones? How many are friends? How much belongs to the family? There probably isn't much left, and that's what belongs to you.
On the one hand, we kill time and engage in so-called useful and useless social interactions.
I feel like I don’t have enough time and I feel like I don’t have enough money, so I complain about the fast pace.
Of course, the house, wife, car, and life are also part of the fast pace.
But in this year, because of the limitations of the living circle. It's not that they don't want to do a lot of things, it's just that they can't access them.
Like Lou Xiao'e, if she were to live with her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she would be a standard lazy woman.
Generally wealthy families, such as the Lou Tan family, must be the oldest in the family.
Prepare toiletries for Lou Bancheng, make breakfast, get milk, get newspapers...
After arranging for the whole family to have breakfast, send Lou Bancheng off, and clean up the house.
Of course, servants did this in the past.
And like ordinary residents of courtyard houses, female comrades are definitely the first to get up.
Empty the urinal and prepare breakfast.
After sending off those who go to work and go to school, the next step is to wash clothes, buy groceries, and cook.
Only in the afternoon did we have a moment of leisure. Those who made shoes and mended clothes gathered together with a basket and a small bench to talk about the parents of the East family and the shortcomings of the West family.
This must have a prerequisite. The elderly in the family are not the caregivers, and the children also have the ability to live independently.
Then in the afternoon, a new round of preparations began.
After the children and husband have taken care of them, it's time to rest.
So like Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao goes to work every day, but she hasn't gotten up yet.
Xu Damao basically makes breakfast and heats it on the stove. Then he returned to the room, kissed Lou Xiao'e on the forehead, and whispered a few words in her ear.
By the time Lou Xiao'e got up, the hustle and bustle of the courtyard had passed.
Lou Xiao'e carried a basin and came to the faucet to wash herself with fluffy hair.
Say hello to someone you know well, then buy groceries, and cook a simple meal for lunch.
Xu Damao will leave her a note with things that need to be done today, which of course Lou Xiao'e can do. Then, there are some blushing words of love.
Then it's time to do errands in the afternoon, buy something, or go to Xu Damao's parents to do something.
It was always busy, although Lou Xiao'e also knew that some things were the same without her.
But she just likes this kind of life.
No more worries about the fate of the family.
Some people hurt, some people love.
You can be busy when you want to be busy, and you can be lazy when you want to be lazy.
If you are really bored, you can sit in the middle courtyard and listen to other people's gossip.
According to Xu Damao, except for those companies that need to be on guard. When it comes to what others say, just listen more and participate less.
The neighbors in the yard, especially the women, were very friendly to her.
Lou Xiao'e once told Yuyu about the attitude of the neighbors in the courtyard towards her.
Yuyu broke the news with one word. Yuyu was still snickering when he said this, as if it was some great secret.
Yuyu said: "This is the credit of my brother Damao.```````"
From Yu Yu's narration, Lou Xiao'e realized that all this was the reason why Xu Damao said that men and women were equal last time.
The women in the courtyard all regard Lou Xiao'e's situation as the most powerful proof that Xu Damao respects women.
Because Xu Damao respected women, he doted on Lou Xiao'e.
This makes sense in theory, but Lou Xiao'e herself knows that the reason why she sleeps in is that she is not willing to compete with others for the water tap and queue up for the toilet.
Besides, I really got up early and had nothing to do.
Of course, this is also related to Xu Damao's habit of doing these things in his previous life.
Although Xu Damao was half-aged in his previous life, he also fell in love and served his girlfriend.
So after getting married in this life, even though I was a scumbag, when I got home, I saw some work in my eyes, so I did it easily.
This has nothing to do with respecting women. To put it bluntly, Xu Damao was used to it in his previous life, so that's why.
As for Lou Xiao'e, it's not that she has no wishes. For example, work is what she wants, but it is also what she cannot do.
Lou Xiao'e found that some of Xu Damao's words were quite right.
For example, not getting involved in the gossip in the hospital.
Some families in the hospital ignored me, the focus was the Jia family, the Yi family, and the old deaf lady.
For example, the badness of the deaf old lady is present everywhere.
She was not just targeting Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.
She targeted everyone in the courtyard except the Yi family and his wife, including the Jia family.
But now the Jia family is really being roasted on the fire. In this year when Qin Huairu lacks food and drink, she is pregnant again.
Lou Xiao'e was naturally envious. Although she has only been married for less than three months, she still wants to have a soft and cute baby to call her mother.
Most newlywed women these days have this idea. Fortunately, Xu Damao time traveled through time early. If it were later, he would have taken the medicine Lao Xu had given him.
No matter how good the relationship between the two is, unless Lou Xiao'e follows the old path, she may not have children in this life.
But now, for Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao, having children is just a matter of time.
But the Jia family is different. Jia Dongxu already has a son and a daughter.
Now this is the situation again. He is the only one who has the quota in the Jia family.
How do you ask Jia Dongxu to shoulder this responsibility?
If you just want to fill your stomach, there is still a way.
But now Qin Huairu's legs are swollen like carrots due to lack of nutrition.
For Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu's pregnancy is definitely a good thing. Spread the branches and leaves, the more grandchildren the better.
As for hunger, that is a problem that the head of the family should worry about.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Yi Zhonghai, the blood bag, has not derailed.
But now, after breaking his leg, Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards the Jia family has dropped to freezing point.
Jia Zhang couldn't feel it. Yi Zhonghai's monthly assistance to the Jia family had not stopped yet. When I met Mrs. Jia Zhang, she still acted like an old sister-in-law and treated her with great respect.
Jia Dongxu felt it, but based on the pride of the head of his family and Lao Jia's hatred, he could not tell his mother about the changes in Yi Zhonghai and the contempt of his colleagues in the factory.
Qin Huairu was gentle, although life was a bit hard. But it's much better than the women in her parents' family. At least she doesn't have to work in the fields.
Furthermore, Qin Huairu could feel that Jia Dongxu valued and worried about her.
The one who is struggling is Jia Dongxu, and only Jia Dongxu.
He wanted to give his family a slightly better life, but in this day and age, there was really nothing he could do.
