Chapter Ninety-Seven: The War Must Go On
"By the way, Aunt Zhao, is there a place to take a bath here?" When Fang Yichen came out of the toilet, he saw that Zhao Lan was already making breakfast in the kitchen, so he stood at the door and asked.
When she was at home, Grandma Li would boil a big pot of hot water for her every morning and evening, so although she grew up in the countryside, she still bathed every day.
Yesterday I did a day of training, and in the evening she just simply wiped it, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Yes, there is a two-story building in the south of our family area, that is the bathhouse, and the soldiers take a bath for free, but the families of the soldiers have to use the bath tickets, a soldier will be given four bath tickets every month, and you and Uncle Li will send them, and our family will have eight tickets a month." Zhao Lan was a little proud in her tone, like the two of them are soldiers, but the family conditions are much better than those women who are family members, just like the bath ticket, other people's families are not enough, and the bath ticket issued by her family is dry, sometimes at the end of the month, she gives the bath ticket to a familiar neighbor, or a good colleague, so it is still a favor.
Fang Yichen calculated in his heart, there are a total of eight sheets, which means that they can only be washed eight times, Li Bingbing has to use at least four sheets, and the maximum number that can be distributed to himself is only four. Thinking about Li Bingbing's temperament, it is estimated that she will not be able to get her hands on the four.
"What if you don't have a bath ticket? Can it be washed? She asked.
"It can also be washed, many people's families don't have enough tickets, so they spend their own money to buy tickets, and a ticket costs five cents." Zhao Lan replied.
Fang Yichen nodded, that's easy, five cents a piece, she still washed it.
"What time does it open?"
"From eight in the morning to eight in the evening, do you want to take a shower? Why don't you wait for two days, Auntie is going to work at the unit today, and I will have a holiday in two days, so I will take you and Bingbing to wash together. She felt that the children couldn't wash themselves, so she took the ice and ice to her house to wash.
"No, I'll take a shower myself." Fang Yichen refused, does this still have to be piled up, there is no need.
"That's okay, you can go and have a look first, if the gatekeeper asks you whose family it is, you just say that it is Li Jianjun's family, and she can let you in." Zhao Lan explained.
"Huh? Don't you have to buy a ticket in your uncle's name? Fang Yichen was a little blind.
"What kind of tickets do children buy?" Zhao Lan felt that she was asking inexplicably.
Fang Yichen was speechless, it turned out that they were all talking about chickens and ducks just now, and they had already said that children don't need money or tickets to take a bath, so do she still need to waste so much saliva with her.
Zhao Lan made breakfast, and then went into the house to ask Li Bingbing to get up.
Princess Li Bingbing was sick again, all kinds of reluctance and unhappiness, when she came out for breakfast, she saw that Fang Yichen was already dressed and sitting there to eat, she snorted in her nose, and she didn't say anything unpleasant.
Fang Yichen is very satisfied with this kind of relationship, Li Bingbing doesn't have to take a fancy to her, as long as she doesn't mess with her, it's completely okay.
Before I finished eating, someone downstairs was shouting that Li Bingbing would go to school together.
"Mom, I've run out of money for lunch, you can give me some more." Li Bingbing rushed to the balcony and agreed, and then ran over and hugged Zhao Lan and started to be coquettish.
"You kid, you spend a lot of money, didn't I just give you two dollars before I left? Spend so fast. Although Zhao Lan said this, she still got up and took out a dollar from her coat pocket and gave it to her daughter, "This is this week's lunch money, save some flowers." ”
"Got it." Li Bingbing quickly pulled out the money, then picked up her schoolbag with her other hand and rushed out of the house.
"This kid will always be like this, you look at the same year as the two of you, you look much more stable than your sister." Zhao Lan turned her head to see Fang Yichen sitting at the table eating quietly, remembering that now that there are two children at home, it seems a little unreasonable to give her daughter's pocket money and not give it to Yaya, so she quickly stood up again and went to pay for it again.
"That's for sure, my mom is dead, and she's still alive." Fang Yichen said very calmly, and only well-loved children are qualified to be spoiled, and they are qualified to say what childhood.
Of course, although she has no mother, she has three masters, and the three of them spoil her together, so she doesn't envy anyone. Looking at the dollar in Zhao Lan's hand, she wanted to say, I can't look down on your money, my grandfather has never given me pocket money piece by piece.
Zhao Lan couldn't say a word that she choked on, so she could only hand over the money in her hand to relieve the embarrassment.
"Come, this is your pocket money this week, you are the same as your sister, although your mother is gone, but you still have an aunt, and your aunt will take care of you like a mother in the future." Zhao Lan said emotionally.
Fang Yichen didn't take the money, "Aunt Zhao, I don't want money, you can provide everything you eat and drink here, and there is no place to spend money." Besides, when I came, my grandfather gave me pocket money, so you might as well save this money to buy meat to eat. ”
"What your grandfather gave was given by your grandfather, and this is what your aunt gave, it's different. If you give it to you, you will take it, and it will not be bad for this dollar to buy meat. Zhao Lan simply stuffed the money into her hand.
"Okay, you can eat slowly, Auntie's work time is almost up, I have to go." She said and stood up again, walked to the door and began to put on her coat and change shoes, "After you finish eating, just put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink, and I'll come back at noon and wash them again." ”
"This is the key to the house, you take it with you, the key is bored at home, just go out and play for a while, but don't go far."
"You'll have to wait a few days to go to school, don't worry."
Zhao Lan explained a lot, looked at her watch, and then hurriedly went downstairs.
After Fang Yichen finished breakfast, he obediently put the dishes and chopsticks into the pool and left it alone, returned to the hut, first cleared a vacant land, made up for the two times of boxing he owed in the morning, and then went downstairs to continue exploring this military family area.
Li Bingbing ran downstairs, he had already put the money in his pocket, put his schoolbag on his shoulder, and ran towards his classmates and good friends when he got out of the unit.
"Why are you so inked today, hurry up, the commuter car will be gone in a while." The little girl pulled Li Bingbing and ran away like a gust of wind.
The two of them hurried and hurried, and finally caught the commuter bus parked on the edge of the family area before the car was about to leave.
Because there is no school inside the military region, the children in the compound have to go to the city to go to school, and in order to facilitate the travel of their families, the military region specially got such a commuter bus, which sent out at half past six in the morning and returned at four and half past five in the evening.
Four o'clock is for elementary school children, and five and a half is for middle and high school students.
Family members can also take the commuter bus, but the departure and return stops are fixed, so just go to the corresponding station in advance and wait.
The commuter bus is the kind of old-fashioned substitute bus, which is very long, but there are not many seats, and there are only more than 20 in total, and there are quite a lot of children in the compound who want to go to school, so Li Bingbing and her classmate Xiao Han, who came up later, can only stand to go to school.
