After Xu Zhaodi came to the city, He Damei fried a lot of dough sticks.
The restaurant business was good at the end of the year, and the store's small wontons cooked in red oil were very popular, so Zhang Guilan also came in to help in the kitchen.
Several people were busy in the kitchen.
He Damei: "Did you hear that Li Fugui from the pork shop was caught and sent to the police station after following a woman last night?"
Zhang Guilan: "Oh, you are well-informed. Who told you this?"
"When I came this morning, I saw a lot of people standing in front of the pork shop. I went over to see what was going on and saw a notice posted at the door.
Although I can't read many words, I still recognize those few characters.
That bastard, even though he was beaten to a pulp, he could still do such a dirty thing."
Wang Daqing saw He Damei was filled with indignation and smiled: "If the person he followed last night was you, would you be able to make him have no descendants?"
"It would be a relief if I didn't want his life."
These people were chattering, and Xu Zhaodi’s thoughts were drawn back to last night.
I didn't expect this news to spread so quickly.
He Damei looked at Xu Zhaodi in a daze, and always felt that there seemed to be sadness in her eyes since she came in in the morning.
"Zhao Di, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Why do you look so unhappy? Are you not catching a cold?"
"No."
Zhang Guilan knew that Xu Zhaodi lived far away and thought that she was scared after hearing about Li Fugui.
"Xiao Xu, in the cold winter, we are busy before noon. When you are done, you can go home early."
"Thank you, Miss Zhang.
Sister Zhang, after lunch, I want to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, is that ok?"
"Sure, go ahead."
He Damei: "I'm going too. Sister Zhang, do you have any extra tickets? Lend me one."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll give each of you one later. It's my treat."
He Damei smiled and said, "Our director is still the best. I am also benefiting from it."
There were several people talking and laughing in the kitchen.
In the morning, there were so many people eating the red oil wontons that they didn't finish until two or three o'clock.
He Damei wiped the tables and chairs clean and put them in place, then went to the bathhouse in town with Xu Zhaodi.
There is a small window at the door as you enter, and inside is a man in his fifties or sixties wearing a leather jacket.
Xu Zhaodi handed in two tickets, and the old man threw the numbered keys to them and said, "Hurry in, the water has just been changed."
There are more people coming to take a shower in the morning, and another group in the afternoon.
Nowadays, taking a bath is a big deal. It involves rubbing mud and getting a massage. After that, you have to get a pedicure. The service is terrible.
In short, those who can come to the bathhouse are all well-known and influential people.
It was the first time for her to see such a scene in the public bathhouse. She tilted her head slightly, and her cheeks and neck flushed slightly.
It was like dumplings being cooked in the huge pool.
It is true that she is beautiful, both plump and slender, a feast for the eyes.
The two came to the cabinet, on which were small wooden cabinets with locks.
He Damei found her locker, took off her clothes quickly, and took a basin from the side.
"Hurry up, Zhaodi. What are you dawdling for?"
Xu Zhaodi felt a little uncomfortable and her ears turned slightly red.
After He Damei realized what was happening, she smiled softly, "Zhao Di, you're already married, you wouldn't be shy to come to the bathhouse, would you?"
"No, I'm just not used to it."
He Damei raised her hand and slapped Xu Zhaodi on the butt.
"Hahaha, Zhaodi you are so funny. We are all women, what is there to be afraid of? I'm going to take a bath first, and you can come over when you feel comfortable."
He Damei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. It was the first time she saw Xu Zhaodi shy.
Hahaha, it’s really fun.
This slap made Xu Zhaodi feel that He Damei's character was indeed...
Generous!
She took a deep breath, then took off her clothes and went into the sink with her shampoo.
He Damei poured water on her and said, “Come and sit next to me.
Oh my, your skin is so white, like a white radish."
Xu Zhaodi was indeed fair-skinned. She was the only fair-skinned person in the entire bathhouse.
Xu Zhaodi was afraid that He Damei would do something to her, so she quickly shrank back into the water.
The water temperature was really comfortable, so hot that it seemed to penetrate into one's bones and force out all the coldness in one's body.
He Damei: "When will you leave?"
"I don't know yet. I have to wait for my husband to decide."
"My grandfather prepared more than ten kilograms of bacon for you. I brought it to the restaurant. You can pick it up when you go there this afternoon."
He Damei's enthusiasm made Xu Zhaodi feel guilty.
She knew that she was always thinking about her brother-in-law.
He Damei was afraid that Xu Zhaodi would feel burdened, so she quickly said, "This was not prepared by me, but by my grandfather.
Who made my grandfather like your uncle too? "
He Damei felt that if she told Xu Zhaodi about this matter, it would cause some trouble to her.
"Thank you Damei."
She couldn't express her gratitude for how much He Damei took care of her. All she could do was try to be nicer to her.
When she got there in the evening, she would ask Chen Jianguo which young man was suitable for living and introduce him to He Damei.
She wanted to introduce her to her brother-in-law, but she had no idea about her brother-in-law's current situation. She could only find out after returning home.
After they soaked for a while, someone came to give them a bath.
The bathhouse is also state-owned, and the bath attendants there are also workers.
After the two of them had a bath, someone gave them a pedicure and someone else made tea for them.
In the winter, chrysanthemum and rock sugar are put together to reduce internal heat.
Xu Zhaodi never dreamed that she could enjoy so many services while taking a bath. It was really comfortable.
It was more than two hours later when I came out of the bathhouse.
Xu Zhaodi felt as if she had lost several pounds from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
She will come again next time.
…
Zhang Qingdong and Jiang Wanyi came to the compound.
The house had been unoccupied for over a month and was covered in a layer of dust.
Zhang Qingdong boiled some water and quickly cleaned the room.
By the time they had packed their luggage, it was already noon.
When Zhang Qingdong heard the footsteps in the upper floor, he knew that it was Chen Jianguo who came.
Chen Jianguo just passed by the door of Zhang Qingdong's room, raised his legs and climbed two steps, and the door behind him creaked open.
Zhang Qingdong's voice came from behind.
"Brother, you are here."
Chen Jianguo paused, looked up, and smiled.
"Hey, you're here."
"You're here. Let's have dinner together tonight. I'm going to the city to buy a stove now. Do you want to come?"
Buying a stove?
Why would a grown man like him light a stove?
"Jiang Wan came with you?"
Zhang Qingdong's ears turned red instantly.
"Well, she's spending the New Year here with me."
Chen Jianguo knew that this boy clearly had feelings for her, but he insisted on chasing her away.
The two of them have been together for a month, aren't they together again?
It seems that good things are about to happen.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll go with you.
Your sister-in-law is afraid of the cold, so I'll install one at home too."
Although they will need it within half a month, it will be nice to have a warm home.
Chen Jianguo went to change his dirty clothes, and when he went downstairs, Zhang Qingdong was already waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs.
Chen Jianguo rode his bicycle and the two went to the county town.
The two men bought two stoves and some coal.
The coal plant had a tractor that was parked in front of the compound. The two men gave the tractor driver a cigarette and then installed the furnace.
Zhang Qingdong: "Do you want to say hello to your sister-in-law?"
"No, hurry up and get it ready. I have to work this afternoon."
Zhang Qingdong glanced at the time on his wrist.
"When you leave, go to work and leave the installation of the stove to me. When you come back in the afternoon, I will make sure the house is warm and cozy to your and your sister-in-law's satisfaction."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
The two men lifted the bicycles onto the tractor and jumped onto the vehicle swiftly from both sides.
The sound of tractors was heard in his ears, and the cold wind scraped across his face like several invisible knives. However, Chen Jianguo did not feel cold at all. He was happy thinking that his wife would come over in the afternoon and warm themselves by the fire.
The tractor stopped at the gate of the compound, and two big men carried the stove from the gate to the bottom of the building.
A few young men in the duty room at the gate helped them carry another stove and chimney to the bottom of the building.
In less than three minutes, the grown men had carried the stove into the living room.
A few little rascals put the stove away and ran away as if greasing their feet.
Chen Jianguo changed his clothes, ate two steamed buns with boiled water, left the key to Zhang Qingdong, and ran towards another yard.
