Chapter 97 Going to the Bathhouse

In the afternoon, Ma Xiaojuan came to find Su Mo and invited her to go to the bathhouse.

"Su Mo, I heard that the bathhouse in the commune is open. Let's go take a bath now that there are few people and it's clean." Ma Xiaojuan shouted as soon as she came in, "Hey, why is your room so warm?"

"I lit a fire wall." Su Mo said.

"You lit a fire wall before it snowed? The winter here is long. The snow will not melt until the end of March or the beginning of April. Don't let it run out of firewood by then."

Su Mo curled her lips: "I'm from the south and I'm afraid of the cold."

The main reason was that there was a lot of firewood, which filled up most of the shed, and she still had a lot of space. She could make herself more comfortable, so why not.

"That's right. We collected a lot of firewood this year. If you don't have enough, I'll lend you some." Ma Xiaojuan also gradually adapted to the life here, so she didn't slack off when collecting firewood.

"By the way, do you want to go to the bathhouse?"

"Yes, wait for me for a while, I'll pack up."

Now that the weather is cold, it is really inconvenient to take a bath at home. It just so happens that she has never been to a bathhouse, so she decided to go and see it.

Su Mo sorted out the manuscripts she wrote during this period, and then packed them into different envelopes and mailed them to different newspapers. She even submitted a magazine, which seemed like she was casting a wide net.

She also took the letter to be sent, the receipt and the remittance slip, packed towels, soap and clothes, and prepared to set off.

Ma Xiaojuan saw that Su Mo received so many manuscripts, and she was a little envious: "Su Mo, are you going to submit another manuscript? You are now famous in the brigade."

Su Mo was a little amused: "How famous?"

"I am a talented woman who can make money. I can make money myself, and my parents send me money. People say that Lu Changzheng married you, and I am afraid that the ancestors are very sad."

"So exaggerated?" Su Mo laughed out loud. "If you talk about the money sent by your parents, your family sent quite a lot."

She remembered that when she went to pick up the mail two days ago, Ma Xiaojuan also received a 30 yuan remittance.

"Hahaha, that's true. We are now considered celebrities in the brigade. Many aunties treat me very well, and they don't treat me as badly as they did during the autumn harvest."

Su Mo's eyes flashed, and she thought of the dirty things she had seen in the book, and reminded half-jokingly: "Then you have to be careful. If someone asks you to go to her house, don't go. Be careful that someone is trying to get money." It

is inevitable that some people are greedy for money and have evil intentions, and plan to make things a done deal. Then Ma Xiaojuan's life will probably be ruined.

Ma Xiaojuan waved her hand, "Don't worry, I know, I'm not stupid."

The two rode Su Mo's car, and Ma Xiaojuan carried Su Mo.

It was very cold today, and the two of them huddled like quails, shivering as they rode to the commune.

The two went to the post office to mail the letter and withdraw the money.

Su Mo gave the provincial newspaper coupon to the staff at the post office and filled in the address. The staff said that they would arrange to send it to her in the next issue.

Ma Xiaojuan saw Su Mo withdraw another 100 yuan and said in amazement: "Your family really loves you. You saved so much money."

"It's not saved by my family. It's a friend of my father who owes my family money and came to pay it back." Su Mo said lightly.

"Hey! This is a good excuse to collect debts. My children have gone to the countryside and need money." Ma Xiaojuan finished thinking.

After leaving the post office, the two rushed to the bathhouse. It was too cold after the wind blew all the way here, and they needed hot water to warm up.

The bathhouse of the commune was also a collective industry of the commune. It was open only in winter. Members of the commune did not need tickets to take a bath. The fee was 20 cents per bath.

The bathhouse was also very simple. There were no showers, pedicures, or scrubs like in later times. It was divided into two large rooms for men and women. There was a large pool filled with hot water, and a row of wooden cabinets with things on the side.

The two paid the money. Since they both had a lot of money, they rented a locked cabinet for 10 cents.

There were also peanuts, chestnuts, and pine nuts in small plates for sale in the lobby. The quantity was not large, and each one cost 10 cents.

Ma Xiaojuan saw that the peanuts looked good, so she bought one and prepared to eat it while taking a bath later. Su Mo did not have the habit of eating after taking a bath, so she did not buy any.

The two of them carried their things into the bathhouse. There were not many people inside, probably less than ten, all soaking in different corners of the pool.

It was warm inside, Ma Xiaojuan walked to the cabinet, quickly stripped herself naked, stuffed her clothes into the cabinet, locked it, took a towel and soap, and prepared to soak in the pool.

Seeing that Su Mo was still standing there without taking off her clothes, she covered her mouth and smiled secretly: "Don't be shy, everyone is the same. If you are really shy, cover yourself with a towel later, and when you get in the water, no one will see you."

Seeing that Ma Xiaojuan had already entered the water, Su Mo prepared herself mentally, gritted her teeth, quickly took off her clothes, and locked the cabinet. Then she covered her chest, took a towel to cover her lower body, and prepared to go into the pool.

As a result, when she turned around, she found that everyone was staring at her intently. She was so embarrassed that she squatted down immediately.

An older sister laughed out loud, "Big sister, don't be shy. Auntie just wants to see you, so white and tender, it's rare to see."

Su Mo has fair skin, and she uses her supernatural powers to nourish it every day. Her skin is so delicate and white without any flaws. It is not an exaggeration to say that her skin is

as white as cream. It doesn't matter when she is wearing clothes, but now that she is naked, her skin is so white that it glows. In front of a group of people with rough and dark skin, it is like a spotlight, attracting people's attention.

Su Mo laughed awkwardly, then stood up to block it and quickly got into the water.

The older sister laughed again and moved over, "Big sister, are you an educated youth from the south?"

Su Mo nodded.

"No wonder. If we northerners had your outfit, we would have to walk with our heads held high. This is something that no one else can ask for."

Su Mo showed an awkward but polite smile. She couldn't comment on the differences between the north and the south.

Both the original owner and she were from the south. It still takes courage to walk naked in front of others. She couldn't get over it in her heart.

"Are you married, sister?" the elder sister asked again.

"Yes." Su Mo nodded, not wanting to say more to the stranger.

"You just got married not long ago? Your man is so lucky." The elder sister smiled. Only young wives are so shy. She wanted to touch the white skin, let alone the man.

Su Mo smiled awkwardly and moved to the other side with Ma Xiaojuan. Fortunately, the elder sister was quite sensible and didn't follow them.

"Su Mo, your skin is so nice, so smooth." Ma Xiaojuan reached out and touched it. She originally wanted to rub Su Mo's back, but now that it looked so tender, she didn't dare to do it anymore.

Su Mo laughed. It was a mistake. She should not have come to the bathhouse.

Su Mo applied soap on herself and started to wash.

Not long after washing, a few more people came in. Su Mo looked up and saw Lu Xiaolan and Li Yue'e.

Su Mo's eyes almost popped out of the window.

What is it like to be honest with the mother-in-law and sister-in-law?

She didn't understand and asked for an online answer.
