Although the harvest is good now, and there are many side businesses in Xishan Village, everyone has spare money and surplus grain at home.
However, the word "waste" is absolutely not used.
After finishing her meal, Ning Jing cleaned up the dishes and left the room.
This amount of food was definitely not enough to fill their stomachs, so after returning to the kitchen, they ate all the food that Fu Hongxing and the others had left for them.
Fu Hongxing had already carried the heated water to the newly built bathhouse next door before the New Year, so that the children could go in and take a bath.
The bathtub inside was made from leftover wood from when Fu Hongxing built his house. He gave it to Genlin and had him make a large bathtub so that the children and Ningjing could bathe in it.
After washing, there's no need to move the tub out. Just pull out the stopper at the bottom of the tub, and the bathwater will flow out from the hole. Below is a ditch dug by Fu Hongxing, and the water will flow along the ditch to the outhouse in the backyard.
The outhouse built in the backyard was just like those in other villages today. They dug a big pit, buried a huge vat in it, and then sealed it tightly around the pit.
Then nail a wooden frame on top and place it on the vat.
Other people's homes are quite simple, just a square wooden frame, but Fu Hongxing's home has a semi-oval shape that can be used by one person to sit down, so that if someone accidentally leans back, they can avoid falling into the latrine.
The ditch for bathing water extended all the way into the large vat of this outhouse.
Every so often, Fu Hongxing would scoop out the manure from the large vat, dilute it, and then use it to irrigate his vegetable garden.
Some families who lack fertilizer will even come to ask for it, and will take the initiative to carry away the manure.
Any excess waste could be poured into the public latrine, where the excrement was excellent fertilizer.
By the time Ning Jing finished washing the dishes, the children had already washed their hair and bodies and rushed back to their own rooms.
Fu Hongxing rinsed the bathtub with clean water and then filled it with hot water.
This is for Ning Jing; he'll have his turn after Ning Jing finishes washing.
Just then, the hot water in the pot was used up.
While Ning Jing was taking a shower, he could boil some more water.
Ning Jing took her change of clothes and went into the bathhouse. She took off her clothes and sat comfortably in the bathtub.
Then they heard a click from the bathroom, and by the light of the kerosene lamp in the corner, they could see half of Fu Hongxing's face.
Ning Jing was both ashamed and anxious. She lowered her whole body, leaving only her head showing.
"You...you were boiling water, weren't you?"
Fu Hongxing touched his chin and felt that the beard he had just shaved in the morning was actually a little rough by evening.
"The children used a lot of hot water today, and we don't have enough firewood at home. If we heat up my bath water too, I'm afraid we won't have any firewood to cook tomorrow!"
I just stuffed some water into the stove to keep it warm, so I could use it when I needed it in the middle of the night or the next morning.
Anyway, I brought over some extra hot water earlier, enough for the two of us to use, it'll be fine!
As he spoke, he took off his clothes, a smile playing on his lips.
During this time, Xiao Feng didn't wake up. Although the two of them hadn't been intimate for so long, he was able to endure it.
However, after learning about that rumor, Fu Hongxing felt that he couldn't afford to mess with anyone!
Especially now that Xiao Feng has woken up, all the thoughts that were originally restraining him have been thrown to the winds!
