Mother Yan put down the fruit plate in her hand, nodded, ran to the room and quickly cleaned up. The rumors about the young lady outside had not yet dissipated, and who knew what kind of gossip the young lady would hear if she went to the bathhouse alone, so she could feel more at ease if she followed her.
The two of them carried a wooden basin filled with towels, soap and dry clothes and walked towards the People's Bathhouse not far from their home.
Yan Sisi walked into the bathhouse as if she knew the place well and handed two bath tickets with fifty cents printed on them to Aunt Wang who was sitting behind the table.
Wang Yan took the ticket and looked up at the person who came. Seeing that it was Yan Sisi, her eyes lit up and she greeted her, "Sisi is here."
Yan Sisi is the heroine of the hottest topic here recently. She thought she would hide at home and dare not come out, but she didn't expect to meet her in the bathhouse.
Yan Sisi nodded politely, took the wooden sign and key tied with a red rope, turned and walked towards the women's bathhouse. When she reached the door, she seemed to vaguely hear the word "fall into the water" from behind.
Yan Sisi walked into the women's bathhouse with an unchanged expression. She had heard all kinds of unpleasant words in her dream. In the end, it was just the same thing. If she really took their words to heart, she would definitely be obsessed with it like in her dream, and finally commit suicide because she could not bear the rumors. Then her loved ones would be sad and her enemies would be happy.
Yan Sisi looked at the number on the key and found the corresponding cabinet, put the clean clothes in, and then put the dirty clothes into the wooden basin.
Yan's mother had already walked into the bathhouse with a wooden basin in her hand, and Yan Sisi followed closely behind her, otherwise she would definitely not be able to grab any water by herself.
The moment she walked in, white mist blocked her eyes, the sound of water gurgling rang in her ears, and everything was white.
Yan Sisi felt a little regretful when she came in. There were quite a lot of people taking a shower tonight, and the shower head in front was almost full of people. She could only hold her breath and follow Yan's mother to the back.
They walked to the back but couldn't find an empty shower head, so Yan Sisi could only stand there awkwardly. Then Yan's mother pulled her to the side of the familiar neighbors and shared the same one with them.
Yan Sisi stood under the shower and just wet her hair before she stood out and let someone else take over the shower. When she had washed all the foam out of her hair, her mother pulled her back under the shower to rinse again.
The whole process was like a war. After Yan Sisi washed her hair, her mother pulled her aside and rubbed her body vigorously with a towel. When she rinsed off the soap on her body, her face felt hot, her head was dizzy, and she had difficulty breathing.
Yan Sisi shouted loudly into her mother's ear: "Mom, I'm going home first."
After saying that, he looked at his mother and pointed at the wooden basin not far away. His mother nodded, and then he ran out, suppressing the lack of oxygen in his head.
As soon as Yan Sisi walked out of the room, she felt her breathing became much easier. She went to the closet where her clothes were kept, took out the key from her wrist and opened it. She quickly wiped off the water on her body and changed into dry clothes. She rubbed her hair with a dry towel, and after it was half dry, she wrapped herself in another dry towel.
During this time, the woman across from the counter had been whispering to others since the moment she saw Yan Sisi's face: "This must be the daughter of the old Yan family!"
"Have you heard about that?"
"No, you don't even know this. It is said that she was hugged by a man."
"I remember that the daughter of the old Yan family is not married yet!"
Several women on the opposite side were whispering while looking at Yan Sisi. In the end, the matter became more and more outrageous, and it turned out that she slept with a man.
Yan Sisi couldn't help herself after hearing this. If she could hold back any longer, she would be a bodhisattva. She turned around and looked at the woman who spoke first. She threw the thing in her hand hard onto the bench in the middle. The whole room heard a "bang" sound, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Yan Sisi looked coldly at the gossipy woman opposite her and said in a cold voice, "Who are you talking about?"
Wang Li, who was being watched by everyone, was not afraid of a little girl. She snorted coldly and said, "I'm talking about you. Since I, Wang Li, dare to say it, I dare to admit it. You are just a slut who was slept with by a man."
"If you ask me, you should get ready and get married quickly, otherwise it won't look good when your belly gets big."
"Everyone, tell me if what I said is right or not. If a single, married lady had gone out to have an affair with someone else a few years ago, everyone would have dragged you out and paraded you through the streets. But you can still take a leisurely bath here."
Yan Sisi's eyes turned red, and against her fair face, she looked indescribably weak. Someone couldn't stand it and said, "Wang Li, please be more polite and stop talking nonsense when you don't have any evidence."
"How could I be talking nonsense? She has come to propose marriage, and everyone in the family compound knows about it." Wang Li glared at the person who was helping to speak, and said directly: "You are speaking for her, is she having an affair with your son?"
Yan Sisi stared at the woman opposite her, and then she realized that she knew her. In the dream, it was this woman who spread rumors about her everywhere in the family compound. At the beginning, not many people in the family compound knew that she had fallen into the water. It was this woman who told everyone she met. In the end, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and she was rumored to have been with many men, and she didn't come out because she was hiding at home to recuperate after giving birth, fearing that people would find out.
In the dream, her husband had a mistress outside and had a son with her. She was afraid that she would be chased away by her in-laws, so she kept silent and pretended that she knew nothing.
She knew all this because she was clinging to the fact that she had fallen into the water like a mad dog. A neighbor who was disgusted with her secretly told her not to bother with the mad dog.
Yan Sisi didn't expect that she would come to her house instead of him. She watched her exaggerated performance alone until she said she was tired and stopped, then she said lightly: "You care so much about other people's affairs, why don't you care about your husband's mistress outside?"
When Wang Li heard this, she immediately stared at Yan Sisi with wide eyes, and denied loudly, "You are talking nonsense."
After saying this, she forced a smile on her face and explained to the curious eyes around her: "My husband treats me so well, how could he have a mistress outside?"
But I was panicking in my heart: I can't let her continue talking. If her mother-in-law finds out about this and that bitch has given birth to a son, she will definitely be kicked out of the house.
"Since there isn't any, let's go to Renmin Road next door and just think of it as going to watch a free show." Yan Sisi gave a rough address, looked at Wang Li's face across from her and turned pale, and pretended to go out to take a look.
Wang Li couldn't help but scream, and ran out the door with the wooden basin in her hand. Before leaving, she glared at Yan Sisi and said, "My husband would never do that. Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that everyone had run away, Yan Sisi looked around at the people watching the show, slammed the cabinet shut, and left.
After leaving the bathhouse, Yan Sisi took a deep breath of the air outside. She told herself not to care about the rumors outside, but when she really met her, she couldn't help her impulse.
After this incident, people in the family would definitely talk about her more: she was not easy to mess with, which directly overturned her previous image of being delicate and weak in the family.
Yan Sisi held the towel on her head with her hands and ran home against the cold wind. She then put her hair, which was not yet completely dry, on the coal stove to dry it from a distance. She said hello to her father who was still watching TV and went straight back to the room and into the space.
I was busy studying during the day, and at night I was busy selling strawberries, telling my parents about the space, eating, and taking a bath. I didn't have time to take a good look at the space.
At first glance, one can see that the entire space is full of mature plants. The racks previously built for climbing plants have long been covered with green leaves, and there is a long section hanging in the air. The unattended space is like a pile of weeds.
Yan Sisi went to the kitchen and got three baskets and some woven bags and returned to the space. She picked the ripe peppers, green vegetables, spinach and tomatoes and put them into the baskets and woven bags. It took her at least an hour to pick them all.
There are still many ripe sesame seeds, cucumbers, loofahs, cantaloupes, melons, watermelons and strawberries in the space that have not been picked.
Yan Sisi was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. Looking at the ripe fruits and vegetables all over the ground gave her a headache. She wondered why she had planted so many plants at that time.
Yan Sisi, who had just left the space, happened to meet her mother entering the house. Yan Sisi became conscious and all the vegetables that her mother had placed in the basket and woven bag appeared on the ground.
Mother Yan looked at the vegetables all over the ground and didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only call the child's father in. When Father Yan came in, he was shocked. How could there be so many vegetables? Father Yan asked in disbelief: "My dear, how many vegetables did you plant?"
Yan Sisi thought for a moment and said, "There are also sesame seeds, cucumbers, loofahs, cantaloupes, watermelons, and strawberries. There are too many for me to pick."
Moreover, with so much food, they definitely couldn't finish it all by themselves. Yan's mother squatted down and began to sort the vegetables. She picked up some relatively common vegetables and prepared to give some to neighbors with whom she had a good relationship tomorrow.
The rest will be dried and brought to Dad and Mingze for the winter. As for the remaining vegetables in the girls' space, they can't help even if they want to.
As Yan's mother sorted the vegetables, she said, "Tomorrow I'll ask your father to buy some bamboo baskets for you to put your vegetables in, and then I'll find other seeds and fruit trees for you."
Father Yan only had one hand to help, but after hearing his wife's instructions, he just smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll go out and take a look tomorrow."
The lady has such a magical thing, he must study carefully what to plant inside it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he did not forget to ask: "Sisi, can medicinal herbs be grown in the immortal's space?"
