Walking into the bathhouse is like entering a steaming world filled with rich steam, making you feel as if you are in the clouds.
The bathhouse is divided into men's and women's bathhouses, and there are people guarding the door. Xu Qianjiao and her mother walked towards the women's bathhouse on the left, while Xu's father and Cheng Jiawen walked towards the men's bathhouse on the right.
Xu Qianjiao and her mother opened the curtain and walked into the bathhouse. The water in the huge bathtub was crystal clear, with ripples forming. Nude people were soaking in the bathhouse. Xu Qianjiao blushed and immediately lowered her head, not daring to look.
"Why are you shy? We are all women." Mother Xu glanced at her and joked in a low voice.
Xu Qianjiao touched her nose and did not refute her words, but secretly built up her mind, "Don't be shy, it's nothing, it's really nothing, isn't it just everyone taking a bath together, what's the big deal."
The more she prepared herself mentally, the more nervous she became. God knows how terrifying and unacceptable this bathhouse must have been for a child growing up in the South.
Ahhhh, she screamed wildly in her heart, and followed Xu's mother to the shower room. The shower heads were neatly arranged, and the water flow was strong and warm. Xu's mother put her things away quickly, then began to take off her clothes and prepare to take a bath.
She looked at Xu Qianjiao who was still standing aside and said, "Why are you still standing there? Come and take a shower quickly. Once you're clean, go down and take a bath."
"Oh oh oh, here I come." Xu Qianjiao held the clothes and began to take them off reluctantly. Finally, under the gaze of Xu's mother, she made up her mind and quickly took off all her clothes, then ran to the water pipe to take a shower.
"That's right. Why are you shy? When we get to the bathhouse later, I'll help you rub it. You haven't taken a shower for so long, you'll definitely be covered in dust." Mother Xu was talking to Xu Qianjiao while applying soap.
"Okay." Xu Qianjiao took a shower silently, not daring to look anywhere else.
After taking a bath, they wrapped themselves in towels and walked to the bathing pool. The floor and walls of the bathing pool were paved with smooth tiles, wiped clean and tidy, and various bath products were placed in the corner for people to use.
Xu's mother took Xu Qianjiao to find a corner to sit down, and the two of them took a bath quietly.
It's morning now, and there are not many people in the bathhouse, only a few scattered around. That's right, at this time, everyone is usually at work, so who has time to take a bath? Those who can come now are either unemployed or have free time at work, or like Xu Qianjiao and the others, they come from the countryside specifically to take a bath.
"Girl~"
Xu Qianjiao was taking a bath with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard a familiar voice greeting her. She opened her eyes and saw that it was the fat aunt. She greeted with surprise, "Big Sister."
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, we meet. Who is this..." The fat aunt was chatting with Xu Qianjiao enthusiastically. When she saw Xu's mother in the narration, she asked curiously.
"She is my mother. Mom, this is the elder sister who just exchanged the bath tickets for us." Xu Qianjiao introduced the fat aunt to Xu's mother with a smile on her face.
Xu's mother nodded and immediately stepped forward to socialize enthusiastically, "Oh, sister, thank you so much. We were so anxious when we came out that we forgot to bring our bath tickets. Luckily, we met you."
"Hahaha, no need to be so polite. We are all comrades, so we should help each other." The fat aunt waved her hand and said cheerfully.
Then, the fat aunt and Xu's mother started chatting with each other, and soon, the two of them were calling each other sister and younger sister affectionately.
"Really, sister, next time you get something good, remember me. I will trade with you and will never let you suffer any loss." The fat aunt took Xu's mother's hand and said enthusiastically.
Xu's mother let go and held her hand, "Of course, I will definitely think of you when I have something good."
The two of them looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
Aunt Pang is not short of money or tickets, but she is short of food, especially fine grains such as rice and flour. Now Xu's mother just happened to deliver them to her door. The two parties hit it off and decisively achieved their goal.
By selling the items to Aunt Pang, Xu's mother doesn't have to make an extra trip to the staff dormitory building, and the goods can be shipped quickly and safely.
After agreeing on the cooperation, the two began to chat and gossip, occasionally whispering, and occasionally laughing. Xu Qianjiao watched the two of them skillfully switching modes and could only smile helplessly.
Soon, the two developed a friendship of scrubbing each other's bodies. Xu's mother helped Fatty Shen scrub his body, "Sister, your skin is so smooth, you must have taken good care of it."
Auntie Fatty laughed heartily. "Hahaha, it's not bad, it's not bad. The girl's skin is not bad either, rosy and healthy."
The two of them rubbed each other's backs and flattered each other. For a moment, the atmosphere was very lively and the bathhouse was filled with laughter.
-------------------------------------
After coming out of the bathhouse, Auntie Pang reluctantly held Mother Xu's hand and pointed to the alley next to them. "Sister, I live in the second room in that alley. When the time comes, just come find me. If you can't find me, just tell people you're looking for Auntie Pang and they'll tell you the way."
"Okay, okay, I got it." Mother Xu patted Aunt Pang's hand, signaling her not to worry. She knew it and would definitely send it to her when there was something.
"Okay, that's it for today. I'm leaving first." Aunt Pang waved to the few people and walked home with her bag.
Father Xu looked at the two people who were reluctant to leave with a bit of curiosity, "Old lady, who is this?"
"Well, she's an older sister I just met. Don't meddle in women's affairs." Mother Xu turned her head away proudly without explaining anything further.
Cheng Jiawen looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon. "Dad, Mom, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something first. It's already noon."
Mother Xu hesitated for a moment, touched her hungry stomach, and decided not to hardship herself. She had earned some money today anyway, so she might as well reward herself.
"become."
Several people walked towards the state-owned restaurant. As soon as Cheng Jiawen entered the state-owned restaurant, he said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to say hello to my friends."
"Okay, go ahead." Mother Xu nodded, then suddenly remembered, "Hey, is that the friend who sent us meat when you and Jiaojiao got married?"
"It's him." Cheng Jiawen nodded.
"Wait a minute then." Mother Xu hurriedly called Cheng Jiawen to stop her, then took out a bag of mushrooms from her backpack, "Here, give it to your friend. He gave us so much meat before, and we didn't even have time to thank him."
Cheng Jiawen took the mushrooms and looked at Xu's mother with emotion, "Okay, thank you, mother."
