"Brother Lu, do you think we can build a bathroom in my house? The kind where we can take a shower." Hu Xiaoman looked at him and suddenly asked this.
Hearing this, Lu Jianghe frowned. Their family actually had a dry toilet. It wasn't that they didn't have the conditions to build one, but they didn't have a septic tank.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "The existing septic tank is simply not big enough. If we want to expand it, it will not be easy."
If you want to be able to take a shower but also want to discharge sewage, then you have to expand the septic tank, which requires digging new holes and laying new pipes.
And the street office won’t agree, and it will delay a lot of things.
Hu Xiaoman didn't know about these things, and the bungalow she lived in before didn't require her to take care of them.
I had originally thought of converting another side room into a bathroom and toilet, but now it seems unlikely.
Seeing the disappointment in her expression, Lu Jianghe felt something in his heart.
He asked calmly, "You want to build a toilet?"
Hu Xiaoman nodded. "Yes, the dry toilet outside is too cold in winter, and it's not safe. It's scary just looking at it."
The dry toilets here are very dangerous. It’s so dark inside that I don’t know how deep it is. I get scared every time I see them.
Of course, she never went to that toilet, she always went into the space to solve it.
There is a warm water toilet, why go to the dry toilet and freeze your fart?
Shen Yulan standing by also disliked this dry toilet. It was okay when she was young, after all, she was used to it.
But I’ve gotten older recently and I’m afraid to go to the toilet in the middle of winter.
Because the ground is slippery in winter, I have to walk a few steps when going out, and I am always afraid of falling.
People over fifty, regardless of gender, are afraid of falling.
She sighed, "Oh, if it's convenient, I'll have a toilet at home too."
Hu Xiaoman on the side also nodded, saying that it was really necessary to build a toilet.
But it’s too troublesome. The septic tank at the back needs to be rebuilt.
I guess it smells very bad, so the surrounding area needs to be repaired.
Lu Jianghe thought for a moment and said, "How about I go ask the street tomorrow and find someone to fix it if possible."
The layout of their house is similar to that of Hu Xiaoman's, except that there is an extra side room, one on each side, and there is a small dry toilet next to the main room.
When Hu Xiaoman heard what he said, she felt a little excited. There was no other way, she couldn't just stay away from the toilet all the time.
If someone comes to visit her family, she won't be able to refuse to go.
And she has to get used to this kind of life. It is impossible for her to stay in the space all her life.
After chatting for a few minutes here, Hu Xiaoman went home.
Before leaving, Shen Yulan said to her son, "Jiang He, go see Xiao Hu off. It's getting late."
She had never asked anyone to send her off before, but today she suddenly asked Lu Jianghe to send someone off.
Hu Xiaoman was a little confused. It wasn't that she was picking on others, but the two houses were so close, just a few steps away, and she felt there was no need to send him off.
Thinking of this, she said, "Brother Lu, don't bother, I can go back by myself. It's not too far, don't worry."
"No way." Shen Yulan said quickly: "Jiang He, you go and see her off. After all, she's a lesbian, it's not safe."
Lu Jianghe nodded, put on his cotton jacket and was about to follow.
There was no choice but for Hu Xiaoman to follow him.
When the two of them reached the front door, she felt a little awkward, so she opened the door and casually said, "Brother Lu, come in and sit for a while?"
"Okay." Lu Jianghe responded directly.
"Oh..." Hu Xiaoman didn't react for a moment, and then was a little surprised.
She just said it casually and didn't expect others to agree.
Having said that, she made way and said, "Come in."
After the two people entered the house, the stove was still on, but the low fire was not hot.
It's not much colder in this room than outside, it's just as cold.
Lu Jianghe looked around and frowned as he said, "You can live in the side room. It's smaller, but it's warmer."
He couldn't ask people to burn more coal. After all, they had to pay for it. If they burned too much coal, they wouldn't be cold at the end of the month.
Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold. It's okay. I just haven't been home all day, so I'm a little cold."
After saying that, she went to get the tools and then turned on the stove.
The fire got a little bigger, but the room still didn't heat up.
Lu Jianghe looked at her face without moving his eyes.
After these few contacts, he was deeply impressed by Hu Xiaoman.
Can endure hardship, but also makes people feel distressed.
Especially since I often heard my mother mention this person, I was particularly impressed.
"Brother Lu, what are you looking at?" Hu Xiaoman looked up and saw that he was staring at her, which made her stunned.
What is this person going to do?
Lu Jianghe came back to his senses and asked, "I heard you say you were attending night school. How is your study going?"
"It's okay. I guess you can graduate next year." After saying that, Hu Xiaoman went to pour him a glass of water.
There is nothing at home, so I go to the kitchen and get water from the space.
Lu Jianghe watched her go out and then looked at the room.
However, I was surprised to see that there was not even a washbasin on the washstand.
Considering that Hu Xiaoman's family conditions are not very good and he has irresponsible parents, he must have had a hard life, right?
When Hu Xiaoman came back, he had already stood up and was ready to leave.
"I'm going back first. You should get some rest early." Lu Jianghe said, and left without waiting for anyone to reply.
Hu Xiaoman, holding the teacup, watched the man leave and hurriedly followed him.
"Then Brother Lu, please slow down."
After the people left, she closed the door and then heard the sound of doors opening and closing next door.
Back in the house, Hu Xiaoman turned off the lights, drew the curtains as usual, and then entered the space.
The space was very hot, so she put all her clothes in the washing machine, changed into her pajamas and went to the living room.
New Year’s Day is in two days, and the live broadcast must continue.
But I don’t know if he received the bottle of wine that I gave him carefully.
It had been a long time since then, and she had long forgotten about it.
When I opened my phone, I saw that there were unread messages, all sent by Xiaoqingxin, and two messages were sent by the owner of the fresh food store.
She first opened the message asking her to be careful along the way.
The words above were all words of thanks, and he also explained that the Moutai liquor was authentic and that he didn't expect it to be preserved so well.
If there are more in the future, he will buy them and keep them.
Hu Xiaoman didn't reply either. If there are too many things, they will be worthless.
She is not short of money now, so she has no intention of selling it again.
And that live broadcast had been publicized long ago. What if someone was waiting and she didn't go live, wouldn't that be playing tricks on people?
If she wants to sell something to warm up her business in the future, I'm afraid no one will buy it.
The most important thing in sales is integrity, especially since she relies on fans for support, she must pay more attention to it.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been live streaming recently and my fan base has dropped by more than 8,000.
Looking at the poor tens of thousands of fans, Hu Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh.
Nothing is easy. To sell goods, you need to accumulate customers. How can you make money without customers?
Counting on tourists? They just come to watch the fun, few people actually place orders.
Fortunately, she still has some savings, otherwise she would be anxious because she has no money!
