Within a few days, Song Linyuan's heart was bought by joy.

This niece is not only beautiful and cute, but also very caring, not only can cook all kinds of delicious food, will give him fried soybeans to make snacks, will secretly stuff snacks for him to eat, and will also go to the mountains to hunt, when she is coquettish and obedient, it makes people's hearts soften.

"Huanxi, go back and get your clothes. The bath is boiling in the village, I will give you the first name!" "Lao Yuan, before he got home, Song Linyuan shouted at the top of his voice.

Huanxi walked out of the house and said with a look of surprise: "Really?"

"The first one, I rushed over when I heard the news. Song Linyuan said proudly.

"Little Grandpa, you are so good, I like you the most!" Huanxi rushed over and hugged Song Linyuan, turned around and rushed home.

"I'll go back and get the clothes, little grandpa, you can help me call my little aunt. ”

"Okay, you run slower. Song Linyuan said with a smile on his face behind him.

No wonder I'm happy and excited, it's not easy to take a shower in the countryside in this era. She wanted to boil water and take a bath at home, but not to mention that she had to boil three or four pots of water in a cold day, and there was no bathtub at home, only a very shallow bathtub. If you don't want to catch a cold, this way is absolutely not advisable.

Rao is happy to be clean, but also had to compromise, every night can only take hot water to wipe his body.

But even so, she felt uncomfortable not taking a bath for a month.

Yes, you read that right, it's a month. People in Songjiazhuang often take a bath only once a month in winter, and the way to take a bath is to boil the bath.

The so-called bath is not much different from the stove, except that the pot used is very large, while the stove and the bath are separated by a wall, and there is a simple table in the partitioned room, which is specially used for clothes.

At first, Huanxi was very unbelievable about this kind of bathing method similar to "putting people in a pot to boil", after all, the pot is so hot, aren't you afraid of peeling off people's skins?

Later, I found out that when I lay in, there were two wooden planks used for heat insulation, one under the buttocks and the other behind the back, so that it would not burn. If the water is cold, let the people outside burn it, and if it feels like it's starting to get hot, ask the people outside not to burn it.

In short, after trying it myself, although this way of bathing is not too convenient, it is still very comfortable, although Huanxi is not used to not washing his hair when taking a bath, and he is not used to not using shower gel when taking a bath by rubbing it alone.

But soon, she found out that this kind of bath was not good.

In order to save firewood for the convenience of the people in the village, the water in the bath pot is not changed. In other words, from the first person to the last person, the same pot of water is used, and if it is not enough, add some cold water. You must know that the people of Songjiazhuang often take a bath together with the people of the production team. At this time, people only take a bath once a month, and they want to know how dirty the water in the bath is.

I heard that the water was half a pot of mud at the bottom, and others talked about it as if they were telling a joke, but they only shuddered when they were happy.

No matter how particular she is, she can't accept this!

Even from a hygienic point of view, if one of the people bathing has a disease, especially some gynecological diseases that are unique to women, such as inflammation and infection...... Although it is said that the heat kills the bacteria to a great extent, what if?

So, in the second bath, he learned that he was going to be behind others, and Huanxi would rather go back and wipe himself with hot water than accept this way of bathing. She even wanted to persuade her family to give up, but it was clear that she herself took things for granted, and there was no way for people to understand them. Whether it is Song Erzhu or Song Weimin, he is not willing to miss the rare opportunity to take a bath.

In desperation, joy can only be let go.

Therefore, for Huanxi, boiling the bath is not necessarily good news, but the first in line is good news.

It turns out that it is not easy to be the first in line, after all, no one will stare at the bath room without doing anything. But Song Lin is different when he comes away, he is free. Knowing that his niece and granddaughter didn't want to take a bath behind others, he paid special attention to the bath room, and had already helped Huanxi grab the first name once.

However, Huanxi didn't dare to take it lightly, you must know that the last time, he was delayed for a while, and he was almost cut in line.

- Countrymen don't follow the rules too much, and people at this time don't know much about the behavior of cutting in line.

When Huanxi and Feng Shuhua arrived, no one else had come, and the uncle in charge of boiling water in the bath room had already boiled half a pot of water, pointed to the small door on the side and said, "Go in, the cold water is already inside." ”

After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

- Although the uncle was in charge of boiling water, he was only responsible for boiling water for the men and grandmothers in the village, and young girls and women often asked their families to come and boil water. After all, although the door of the compartment has a latch, it can still be knocked open after a few hard hits, and it is not so safe.

Feng Shuhua followed Huanxi into the cubicle, helped her adjust the water in the bath to the right temperature, waited for her to take off her clothes, helped her to do it, helped her adjust the wooden board behind her, and let her lie down, then said: "I'm just sitting outside, if you feel the water is cold, call me." ”

Huanxi nodded, and when the little aunt went out, she reached out and plugged in the latch, if the door was not closed tightly, the wind outside would be cold when it came in.

It doesn't take her long to take a shower, after all, she doesn't wash her hair, and she usually wipes her body every day, but in fact she is not very dirty.

Even so, it is extremely comfortable for Huanxi to be able to bubble.

That's all she enjoys now.

Holding the clothes and Feng Shuhua came out of the bath room together, and said happily to Song Linyuan, who was waiting outside: "Little Grandpa, hurry up and go in and wash it, take the clothes back, and I'll wash them for you." ”

Song Linyuan waved his hand, "No, no, I'll wash it myself then, you can go back quickly." "He's a big man, how can he let the little girl wash his clothes? And the padded jacket in winter will be very heavy when soaked in water, and he can't bear to rejoice and suffer.

He also said: "Your own clothes are also left untouched, and I will wash them for you when I come back, if you go into the water in this weather, your hands will have frostbite, and it is not easy to get it." ”

"Don't fight, send all your clothes to me, I'll wash you, don't do any of you. Feng Shuhua interrupted their argument with a funny expression.

Speaking of which, others thought that she wanted to dislike Song Linyuan, but in fact, she didn't dislike it at all. She has long envied those who have elderly people in the family, and how good it is that someone helps take care of the children and the house? Now that she has gone to work in her own fields, she does not have to worry about the children at home.
