Chapter 55 A Different Feeling
During dinner, Jiang Xue ate in her own room, it was too cold outside, her stomach hurt so badly, so she didn't move anymore.Naturally, she didn't know that only she had egg soup.

Seeing the tofu slices, Jiang Xue's eyes lit up.

"Godmother, I thought you didn't know how to cook meat." After all, she had eaten meat at noon, and she thought she had to be a vegetarian at night.

Aunt Jiang laughed and said: "If you want to eat, I will make it for you tomorrow."

Jiang Xue hurriedly said: "Don't cook tofu tomorrow, can the godmother make braised pork? I want to eat braised pork."

"meeting!"

After thinking for a while, Aunt Jiang said: "Then I'll make braised pork for you tomorrow."

She saw it in the kitchen just now, and there are all the seasonings that can be used to make braised pork. Since Jiang Xue wants to eat it, she just makes it.

"Thank you, godmother."

After the words fell, Jiang Xue remembered, and hurriedly said: "Godmother, you should stop sewing these few days and take a rest. I have fallen at home, so you can't fall."

"This child, what are you talking about? If you fall down or not, you should rest well and eat well, and you will be alive again in a few days."

Jiang Xuexiao, isn't it? She can go swimming after a few days.

It was getting dark quickly.

When the lights in the house are turned on, the bulbs light up.

Jiang Dabao stood under the light, looking up at the light bulb above, with novelty in his eyes.

"Grandma, is this the electric light?" The light bulb is only the size of a fist, but it can emit such a large light that it illuminates the room.

Aunt Jiang also found it miraculous. She had seen it in the hospital, but it was the first time she lived in a house with electric lights.

"It's an electric light." Aunt Jiang nodded, and said: "This thing consumes electricity, so it's better to use it sparingly."

As soon as Jiang Dabao heard it, he ran to pull the rope, turned off the light, and then took out the candle and lit it.

Seeing that her grandson was so sensible, Aunt Jiang nodded and boasted, "It's such a reason, if you can use it, don't use it."

The door of Jiang Xue's room was closed, so she didn't know that the lights were turned off outside. When she got up to change things, she opened the door and saw the darkness, and she was stunned.

"Godmother, Dabao? Is the light in the main room broken?"

Sure enough, defective products are unreliable, so don't be greedy for cheap next time, and have to spend money to buy good quality.

Aunt Jiang was making clothes by lighting candles in the house, but when she heard the sound, she wanted to get out of bed.

"Grandma, I'll go." Jiang Dabao moved quickly, and soon came out of the room. At this time, Jiang Xue had already fumbled to turn on the light.

"Huh?" Jiang Xue was surprised, seeing Jiang Dabao coming out, she wondered, "Isn't this lamp good?"

"Auntie, the light is not broken, but I feel that no one is using it, so I turned off the light."

Jiang Dabao: "Auntie, do you want to go to the bathroom? I'll help you."

"No, no, no." Jiang Xue came back to her senses and shook her head quickly.

"I thought the light was broken. It's okay. Go to sleep."

Only then did she realize that it was to save electricity.

Saving is right, but Jiang Xue is still not used to turning off the lights when she is not sleeping.

She asked about it. At this time, electricity costs one penny per kilowatt-hour. Those who live in the family building share the electricity bill uniformly, which is about [-] to [-] cents a month.

The electricity bill for living in a large courtyard is lower, but it costs [-] cents a month for the whole family.

The family building is okay, everyone has jobs, and they don't quarrel over the [-] cents electricity bill.

But it’s not the case in the courtyard. If the monthly electricity bill is a few cents higher than before, it will definitely be arguing with the people who turn on the lights earlier than others.

Why do you use more electricity in your home and let the big guys pay for it.

You have to know that we also use it, and everyone uses it together. After such a commotion, the electricity bill in the second month will definitely be much higher, and then it will be spread out and more will be in the hands of each household.

So there was another quarrel, and after three or four months, we finally negotiated a way to save money together, and we couldn't turn on the lights before the specified time, so the electricity bill came down.

But from time to time, there will still be times when the electricity bill is a few cents higher, and at this time there will be quarrels for several days, and there are not a few people in the courtyard who are arguing about the electricity and water bills.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Xue didn't consider Dazayuan.

It is even easier for a family like Jiang Xue who lives alone. Follow the meter and pay as much as you use.

At this time, there are no electrical appliances, and the lights are only turned on for a while at night, so not much electricity is used.

Jiang Xue paid the monthly rent of a few dollars, so she didn't care about the few cents of the water and electricity bills.

If there is an electric light that is not used, then she is embarrassing herself.

Jiang Dabao said with some concern: "Then aunt, please slow down."

After Jiang Xue returned to the room, Jiang Dabao poured her a cup of hot water, asked if she needed anything, then left her room, and then turned on the light again.

Aunt Jiang heard her grandson come back, thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow I will make clothes in the main room and light candles, so that your aunt won't be smeared when she gets up."

Jiang Dabao naturally nodded in agreement.

This was Jiang Xue's first time sleeping on a decent bed in a house without air leakage after crossing over. Not only her, Aunt Jiang and Jiang Dabao also slept in a warm room for the first time after leaving home.

The house has no heating, nor does it burn briquettes for heating, so it is not very warm, but there is no air leakage, and it is covered with cotton quilts, so it is naturally warm.

Jiang Xue was not feeling well, so naturally she soon fell asleep in a daze.

On the contrary, Aunt Jiang and Jiang Dabao touched the quilt excitedly, caressed the firm bed, and happily didn't fall asleep until midnight.

It was too warm, and Jiang Dabao woke up late in the morning.

When Jiang Xue came back from washing in the toilet, she saw him standing at the back door with disheveled hair, rubbing his eyes. He was ignorant, but he looked like a child of this age.

"It's cold, use hot water." Jiang Xue rubbed his head with a smile.

This kneading actually woke Jiang Dabao up: "Auntie~"

Touching the head rubbed by Jiang Xue, he laughed happily, but he didn't use any hot water. He is a man, and washing his face with cold water just wakes him up.

Aunt Jiang made breakfast. She made millet porridge. She and Jiang Dabao each had a bowl of millet porridge, and what Jiang Xue prepared was millet porridge with brown sugar and eggs.

"After eating, you lie down again, there is nothing to do at home, the godmother is making clothes outside, and you can open your mouth if you have something to do."

Jiang Xue nodded obediently, and said: "Godmother, you should wear thicker clothes. If it's cold under the eaves, you can go inside and do it."

Aunt Jiang smiled: "I know."

For lunch, Mrs. Jiang made braised pork, a large piece of meat, Jiang Xue ate three pieces, and her eyes narrowed with joy.

It was the first time when she was unwell, someone cared and cared, and she felt warm in her heart.

Even Mrs. Jiang wanted to wash her clothes, but Jiang Xue insisted that she didn't sweat in winter and her clothes were not dirty, so she stopped her.
