Chapter 170 Bathhouse
Xia Zhizhi stayed quietly in the village for two days.
I don’t know if it’s due to psychological reasons or the cold, but right now everyone is staying at home and not willing to go out. Sometimes you won’t see anyone on the road for a whole day.
Every time Tang Mingli came back, he would cook a big pot of food, and they could eat it for several meals in a row, just reheating it each time.
Everyone tried to stay on the kang as much as possible and would not get out of bed unless it was necessary. They would eat, do manual labor and take care of the children on the kang.
She had been back for two days, and except for a few educated youth living in the same courtyard who did not go back for the New Year, no one else in the village knew she was back.
It was too cold, and she didn't want to show off. Moreover, with her current status here, it would be inappropriate to show off actively. She had to let everyone discover her actively.
In other words.
She pretended.
Seeing that the end of the year is coming soon, Han Youran suggested: "Let's go to the bathhouse to take a bath. I'm afraid the bathhouse will be closed in a few days to prepare for the New Year."
Xia Zhizhi naturally had no objection.
There are four bathhouses in the city's outer camps, two of which do not have women's baths. According to other educated youth, the conditions in the other one are worse and you can't take a shower. It is said that there are several large factories with bathrooms in them. The environment is not bad, but it is not easy for outsiders to get tickets.
They didn't have much to choose from, so they went to the last one.
They arrived early, so there weren't many people in the bathhouse.
To the right of the service counter is the women's bath, which has two bathing pools, one large and one small.
The pool is square with a step around it. The water is about 60 to 70 centimeters deep. Adults can just sit in it with their heads exposed, but children can only sit on the steps around it. The water temperature is only about 40 degrees.
The temperature of the small pool next to it is higher, which is suitable for people who like to take a hot bath. Children find it too hot and never go there.
According to the aunt who was doing the bath, the water in the small pool had just been changed in the morning. Jiang Xiurong and Han Youran looked delighted, as they could just go and take a bath.
Han Youran is a girl from the north and is accustomed to taking a bath in a bathhouse. Xia Zhizhi is also thick-skinned. Only Jiang Xiurong is a little embarrassed. She covers her chest shyly and sits in the pool, shrinking her whole body into the water with only her head sticking out.
Xia Zhizhi stepped into the pool with one foot still outside when she heard a girl behind her shouting, "Hey, that one, that one!"
I don't know what this girl wants to do.
She turned around and saw a girl who had just finished a shower, was wearing underwear and was wiping her hair with a towel, looking at her with surprise.
The girl put a towel around her neck, and ran to her in her slippers. She bent down, held Xia Zhizhi's hands warmly and shook them vigorously: "Hello, Comrade Xia, I admire you very much. I heard from my classmates yesterday that you went back to Mudanjiang. I didn't expect to meet you today. I'm so happy!"
"Hahaha, nice to meet you." She was standing in the bathtub, with a mysterious smile on her face, and greeted the girl.
The girl jumped for joy. Thinking that happiness is better shared with others than alone, she called two classmates who were changing clothes in the locker room to come in.
Xia Zhizhi stood in the pool with a decent smile on her face, shaking hands with them one by one and responding calmly to their excitement and joy.
But how appropriate can it be?
She has no clothes on.
But on the other side.
Dress neatly.
She felt like a living conspirator who had just been unearthed and was having an inter-century meeting with the humans of the New Age.
She is a person who not only has no qualities, but also has a very weak sense of morality.
But at this moment, the moral sense that had been lost for many years seemed to have found its way home?
To be honest, she felt a little embarrassed.
She was the one who suffered the most. If someone else had stood here, naked and shaking hands with everyone one by one, they would have bitten the quilt and cried secretly when they thought about it at night.
Look at these girls, you go to see your idol, but you are dressed neatly and your idol is naked, is this appropriate?
How about we all take off all our clothes and then meet again?
Xia Zhizhi imagined in her mind several people shaking hands naked, but she didn't know which one would be more earth-shattering.
After seeing off the group of enthusiastic little girls, she looked down and found that the water in the pool had dried up.
You ask where the water went.
It flowed out from the holes that Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong dug with their toes.
She lost the mood to take a bath with Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong, in order to avoid the lesbians jumping into the pool to shake hands with her.
I just took a quick shower and went to the rest area to dry my hair while waiting for Han Youran and the others.
Then I made a decision in my heart.
From now on, you don’t need to use your front-facing photo in the newspaper.
After all, she could still accept being recognized naked in the bathhouse.
If she happens to have hemorrhoids one day, she will go to the hospital to have them removed. While she is climbing onto the operating table, the doctor will greet her while performing the procedure and also ask the nurse to come and see her.
That scene will definitely cause harm to oneself.
It didn't take long before Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong came out of the shower.
The two of them came over and asked her quietly, "Zhizhi, how did you become so famous?"
Xia Zhizhi was listless and had lost interest in bragging. She pointed to a pile of newspapers in the hall for everyone's entertainment and said, "I was received by the leader a few days ago and was even reported in the newspapers. You may not be able to see it there."
The two of them looked over and found it.
For a moment, the way I looked at her was different.
Good guy, the boss is by my side.
Jiang Xiurong asked her curiously: "What kind of person is a leader?"
Xia Zhizhi said: "He is tall, very friendly and kind, and in good spirits."
Han Youran asked: "Are there any other photos?"
Xia Zhizhi nodded: "Yes, it's at the educated youth site. I'll show it to you when I get back."
It was rare for the two of them to be so enthusiastic. They surrounded her and asked her about the leader's affairs with curiosity for a long time.
During this period, Xia Zhizhi was visited by two groups of lesbians.
Fortunately, she was wearing clothes, so she was fearless and unafraid.
The three of them dried their hair and prepared to go back.
On the way, I met Zhang Yifeng and his students catching illiterate people.
They chased and intercepted the two children in the alley and caught them. Zhang Yifeng grabbed the children by the collars and laughed strangely: "Give these two to Group 4 and Group 5!"
When he met her, Zhang Yifeng greeted her warmly: "Xia Jiwei, I have to go to West Street to catch some people now, so I'll leave first!"
He said yes, and shook the kid in his hand: "See, this is our discipline committee. If you don't study hard, the discipline committee will not be as easy to talk to as I am. When the time comes, I will tie you up and beat you with a whip dipped in salt water until your skin is torn!"
very good.
Keep promoting her.
Soon she will become the true uncrowned king of Mudanjiang City.
When she is around, strangers would be so scared that they would jump off the rooftops.
She will be the one who can stop children from crying at night!
