Chapter 57: Sweetness (1/2)



Chapter 57 What is the meaning of sweetness

The Su He family is going to take the train, which leaves at noon.

They didn't have to rush. They had breakfast leisurely, counted their things, and prepared to go to the train station.

Before leaving, Captain Lu received a call at the guesthouse.

The call was from Liancheng Public Security Bureau.

There has been progress on the matter reported by Su Xiaodi.

Team Lu's colleagues went to the railway station guesthouse and, like waiting for something, caught the out-of-town driver and an old man.

Captain Lu is not in a position to say too much about the specific situation, but at least there is a result to this matter.

Jin Weiguo was relieved and asked Captain Lu for help. When rewarding the soldiers, he should not forget to give Comrade Su Yi some consideration.

This was something the two of them had agreed on long ago, and it was a tacit understanding. Jin Weiguo almost said it: He was not so confident about Su Yi, for fear that he would be tempted by the enemy's sugar-coated bullets in the future.

The Jin family finally got on the train. This time, after getting on the train, Jin Weiguo took his work ID to buy a sleeper ticket.

When we arrived at the destination, one of Jin Weiguo's students came to pick us up in a jeep.

After a long journey, the family finally arrived home.

The three children were so tired that they were a little lazy and didn't want to move.

Jin Weiguo went to clean the bathroom and added water to the small water tank above, preparing to give the family a bath.

Su He immediately took a new coal briquette and went to the Yuan family next door to exchange it for a hot coal briquette. She stacked two more coal briquettes on top of the burning one and put the kettle on.

Mrs. Yuan from next door knew that their whole family was coming back today. She also knew that they had been traveling far away with their three children and would not have eaten or rested well, so she wanted to save them some energy and prepared more food in advance.

When Su He went to change the coal briquettes, Mrs. Yuan didn't say anything, but later she came to the Jin family next door with a large plate of braised eggplants and a small basket of steamed buns with rice crust.

Mrs. Yuan said, "Xiao Su, your family must be tired. I made extra dishes for your family at noon. Eat them while they're hot. There's rice porridge in the two-ear pot in your kitchen. I also made it at noon. I guess it's still warm now!"

Su He: "Mrs. Yuan, this is really... I don't know what to say! Then we can just eat what's ready!"

Mrs. Yuan: "Give me your two thermoses too. I'll get them back home and fill them with hot water for you."

Teacher Wu came out of the house and greeted Mrs. Yuan. "It's true that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Guifang, thank you so much! These two children are here, thanks to your concern and care!"

Su He turned around and went in with a thermos, ready to go to Yuan's house to pour some hot water: "Master's wife, one bottle will be enough. The bath water will be ready soon. Just fill a bottle for drinking."

Mrs. Yuan: "Give me the kettle, I'll fill it for you."

Mrs. Yuan took the kettle and walked out, saying to Teacher Wu, "Sister Wu, don't be polite with me. I'm going home first. You two should finish your meal and rest! After you've rested, we can have a good chat!"

Teacher Wu: "Let's chat sometimes!"

Jin Weiguo came out of the shower room and stuck his head out to thank his master's wife.

Mrs. Yuan: "Weiguo, how did you do this? You gave me the key to the front door, and I've been curious for days. I didn't come in to see it, and I just saw this huge thing on the roof!"

Jin Weiguo: "Master's wife, come and take a look. This is easy. Turn on the tap, release the cold water from the water tower above, pour it into this water tank, heat it up, and then you can take a bath..."

Sister Yuan understood it immediately. This was truly a clever design.

This shower room is located on one side of the kitchen stove and on the other side of the toilet, with the shower room right in the middle.

Jin Weiguo chiseled a hole in the wall near the kitchen and fixed a water tank in it. This tin water tank was placed exactly where the kitchen chimney was. As long as there was a fire in the kitchen, the water here would be heated.

There is a pipe running down from the small water tower on the roof, and there is a switch. When it is turned on, the water can be released into the hot water tank.

If the water in the hot water tank is too hot, turn on the switch of the water tower above and add some cold water to dilute it.

There is a faucet under the hot water tank, you can turn it on to take a shower, but it's a pity that there is no shower head.

There is a custom-made large bathtub underneath, so you can sit in the tub and soak in it, or stand and take a shower.

There is a water outlet in the corner of the wall on the toilet side, where sewage is discharged.
