Then I heard other educated youth explain:
"We don't have it in the village. It's too cold here in winter, so it's not convenient to take a bath. But before the Chinese New Year, every household will take a good bath, so the town government prepares a lot of bath tickets for each village every year. If you want to take a bath, you can go to the village to buy it. It's not expensive, but it's only available a few days before the New Year."
After hearing this, Lu Xia exchanged glances with Jiang Junmo, then nodded and said, "If there is such a good thing, we will definitely go."
"Okay, then let's go to the village chief's house to buy a bath ticket and get a letter of introduction. The county patrol team will be strict before the New Year, so it's best to prepare a letter of introduction."
"good!"
After the educated youth made an appointment, they went to the village branch together in the afternoon to buy bathing tickets and get letters of introduction.
After returning, Lu Xia felt somewhat happy.
It is very inconvenient to take a bath here in winter. For fear of catching a cold, she dares not use the bathtub all the time. Usually she just washes herself simply, but always feels that it is not clean enough. It would be great if she could go to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Then he thought that there should be no private rooms in the bathhouse at that time, and everyone took a bath together. Lu Xia had taken a bath there before, so he would not be uncomfortable. Moreover, as far as he remembered, the original owner had also been to a bathhouse in the capital, where many people took a bath together, and everyone was honest with each other, so it should be like this in the north now.
So Jiang Junmo and I packed up that night, and got up early the next day to go to the town with the educated youth to catch the bus.
...
...
In addition to them, there were also many fellow villagers who went with them. Most of them went to buy some New Year's items and take a bath in the bathhouse.
Because there were too many people, there were no seats left when they got on the bus, and everyone was wearing extra clothes, so the bus was crowded and uncomfortable.
Lu Xia felt very stuffy and was staggering and unable to stand steadily. Fortunately, Jiang Junmo saw this and supported her with one hand, leaving some space around her so that she could finally catch her breath.
But even so, she almost vomited when she got off the car.
Jiang Junmo, who was standing by, was a little worried when he saw this. "Are you okay? Do you want to find a place to rest for a while?"
Lu Xia shook his head. "No, thank goodness you helped me, otherwise I would have vomited right in the car."
After saying that, I felt a little envious of him. How come he didn't get carsick at all?
However, the two did not chat much. As soon as they got off the bus, they encountered the patrol team. This had never happened before. It was probably because the supervision was strict during the New Year period. It seemed that they were waiting at the station.
Lu Xia and the others took out the letter of introduction and showed it to them. Then there was nothing else to do, so the educated youth went to the bathhouse together.
It was just past eight o'clock, and they planned to rush in as soon as the bathhouse opened. It was said that there were the least people at this time, otherwise they would have to wait later when there were more people. So Lu Xia and the others planned to take a bath first.
Apparently they were not the only ones who thought so, because when they arrived at the bathhouse entrance, they found that quite a few people were already waiting there.
But I heard from the old educated youth that there will be more people later, and sometimes you will have to wait for several hours if you arrive late.
If the people inside are delayed and don't come out, someone will go in and chase them out.
After hearing this, Lu Xia suddenly felt that she had been ignorant before. It turned out that taking a bath required so much...
After waiting for about half an hour, the bathhouse finally opened. Lu Xia and the others paid and went in.
Because we were the first group to come in, the bathhouse was very clean and not too crowded. In addition to the educated youth, there were also some villagers who arrived early.
After entering and taking off his clothes, Lu Xia was flushed by the hot water and almost sighed with comfort.
Oh, if only I could wash it every day.
But it was impossible. After soaking comfortably for a while, Shen Qingqing beside her told her to wash quickly, otherwise it would be very noisy when too many people came.
After hearing this, Lu Xia quickly sped up.
