Grandma patted her grandmother's hand: "Sister, the children's mind, let's wear it if we buy it, let's wear it once less, they are still young, and a good life is behind." ”

The eldest aunt looked at the copper hot pot on the table and asked, "Aunt, this is the hot pot, you patriotic went back yesterday and blew it for a long time, and we were hungry, and I will taste it today." ”

Not only hot pot, grandma also asked for roast mutton, elbows, mixed haggis and tile fish. Everyone ate very enjoyable, and the aunt said while eating: "This hot pot is good, it is just right to eat in winter, it is delicious and warm, and people in the city will eat it." We farmers don't have this thing, and I've never seen hot pot when I'm so old. ”

Dare to love, she thinks that people in the city eat hot pot in winter. My aunt told her: "This is what your aunt loves you and specially asks for you, and there is no one in the public restaurant." Sister, where did you get the hot pot?"

"Sister-in-law, the city is much more open than our village, and there are hot pots in family restaurants. ”

My uncle and grandmother asked in surprise: "The private restaurant was opened secretly, right?"

"It's okay to say steal, but they didn't hide it, it's almost the same as the public one, everyone knows it. When I went there today, I saw two staff members ordering there. Sister-in-law, now individuals are allowed to sell breakfast in the city. ”

Just after dinner, at twelve o'clock, my grandmother discussed with them: "Sister-in-law, let's go take a bath, there is a bathhouse in the city." ”

My uncle and grandmother were happy when they heard this: "Okay, hurry up, don't delay going home." This body is dirty, and you can rub the mud off with a little sweat. ”

The two of them had already taken a good look at it, and the bathhouse was not far from Yoyo's house, and the group walked there. There is a small window next to the door of the bathhouse, and tickets are sold. There was a small blackboard hanging next to it, on which was written in chalk: "Take a bath for two cents, rub a bath for a hair." Children under 1.2 meters are free of charge. ”

The uncle said, "I'm in for a treat." He walked to the window and shouted, "Comrade, buy a ticket." ”

The man glanced out, "Five, one dollar." He took the one yuan in his uncle's hand, tore up five receipts and handed them over. He also instructed: "Men to the left, women to the right." ”

Yoyo took five cents and held it up and shouted, "I want five bath tickets." The man stuck his head out, looked at Yoyo and smiled.

"Little girl, you know what a bath is. ”

Youyou hurriedly said: "I know, I also have a treat, and ask someone to give grandma a bath." Everyone laughed at what he said.

Grandma handed her uncle a bag and instructed him: "Patriotic, here is a change of clothes, you wash it quickly, go to the barber shop next to you to get a haircut, and wait for us there." ”

It's the first time I've been in a bathhouse since I walked in. When I went in, I saw that the women's pool was divided into inner and outer rooms. Outside is a large room, filled with small single beds with white mattresses and sheets, very clean.

No wonder, in the scar literature, there are many descriptions of living in a bathhouse, and this bathhouse can indeed live in people.

There were two officers on duty at the door, and Grandma handed them the tickets, and they took a look.

"You're all in the shower. There are no one in the four beds next to each other, so go there. The pool is freshly changed with clean water, so go wash it. ”

Since it was lunch time, there were not many people in the bathhouse. The eldest aunt had no experience in the bathhouse, and she didn't dare to take off her pants anymore when she took off her pants, so she had to wear pants to go in.

My uncle and grandmother were anxious, and said to her loudly: "Take it off, where is the usual pungency, everyone is the same, you are wearing pants to call it ugly." ”

The second aunt said to her: "Sister-in-law, I went to the army to take a shower for the first time, and like you, I went in with a pair of pants." A group of people looked at me and laughed, but they didn't dare to look up. It is said that when I mentioned the pants, I scolded the bare feet, and I wore pants to let a group of bare feet be smashed. ”

As soon as her words came out, grandma and the others laughed, only shouting that their stomachs hurt. My uncle and grandmother scolded her: "I just had a full meal, and I can't bend my waist, you want to laugh at me." ”

The inside of the bathhouse is also very spacious, it is a large room with three rooms, and there is a large pool in the middle, which has just been filled with hot water more than 60 centimeters deep, and it is crystal clear.

The bath is covered with white tiles and has steps on all sides, and the water is just up to the chest, and there are several people sitting with their backs to the edge of the pool. There was also a circle of shower heads against the wall, and two people stood underneath to wash their hair.

Uncle and grandmother also sat down next to the edge of the pool, soaking in the pool, and the uncle and grandmother squinted their eyes comfortably: "It depends on the value of being able to take a bath, our trip to the city." ”

The eldest aunt rubbed her arm for her uncle and grandmother: "I still have hot pot." Aunt, the yard you are looking for is really big, Aiguo said, he walked for a long time before he finished reading. ”

My uncle and grandmother also said: "Whoever wants such a yard will not have to worry about it for several lifetimes, how big a family can live in such a big yard." ”

Grandma said to her: "Sister-in-law, I am afraid that you and my brother will not be able to build a yard like this." You think, if you love his four brothers, plus your two old people, you will have five yards. Here are seven children, not to mention the ones born later, this is not enough. Let me say, you have to take two courtyards with you, and fifteen courtyards can live. ”

My uncle and grandmother opened their eyes: "Your brother and I don't have this ability, four sons, and now there are two yards at home." It's not that I can't afford to build it, the question is who lives in it. Chaoxia will join the army during the New Year, and Aimin doesn't know what to find in the future, and the old couple will be left in the old courtyard soon. "Grandma said a little sadly.

The eldest aunt took it: "Mother, look at what you said, aren't there still patriotic people at home, besides, aiding Korea is also close to home." I still look forward to the children growing up and going to the army with his second uncle. At that point, you will be even more reluctant. ”

After soaking for half an hour, the waiter came and shouted: "It's almost soaked, it's time to rub your back." "There were two leather beds on the edge of the pool, and my uncle and grandmother rubbed them first, and they lay on the beds, and the two waiters came to rub them in the bath.

Rub the mud first, rinse it off under the shower head, and then do a full body massage. Looking at their methods, they are quite professional, grandma chatted with them, and knew that they were all professionally trained and qualified.

There is also time for scrubbing, 20 minutes per person. Grandma and her two sisters rubbed their hair first and then washed their hair, and the two aunts washed their hair first and then took a bath, which took about the same time.

When the eldest aunt was taking a bath, she fell asleep on the bed, which caused everyone to laugh for a long time.

Yoyo prepared a set of underwear for them, including socks and trousers. My uncle and grandmother were dressed and said to my grandmother: "Sister, since you opened a sales outlet, you have been in charge of the clothes of our whole family from the inside out." It's not easy for you to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and they are all older, so don't worry about them in the future. ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm just your family, and I can't let go of it at any time. When I didn't have it before, it wasn't up to you. ”
