Yun Jiao took a bucket to fetch water for Jiang Youzhi; there was no firewood at home either, so she took Gu Chuan to gather some firewood from behind the village.
Stuffing the firewood into the stove, she lit a fire to boil water and instructed Gu Chuan, "From now on, you need to go to the edge of the mountain every day to gather some firewood for boiling water."
"But don't ever go deep into the mountains; be careful of wild animals."
"If you can't carry the water, ask your eldest sister to help. If she doesn't, get the brother from the second uncle's family to help. If he doesn't either, think of a way to carry a little water each time."
"In this weather, you must bathe and wash your hair at least every other day, or you'll stink, understand?"
Gu Chuan bowed his head, "Got it."
Jiang Youzhi brought in a bucket of water, didn't disturb the siblings, poured the water into the tank, and went out again.
