Chapter 37: Who Are You?
"That's right, sister-in-law." Li Chun thought of something and turned back, "There is a bathhouse behind this row house, both men and women, but the women's bathhouse is relatively small, after all, there are few women in us." Hot water is available at 8 p.m., so you may have to wait if you want to take a shower. ”
"Also, the toilets are at both ends of the dormitory, the men are on the left, and the women are on the right, if you need to......" Li Chun was embarrassed to continue.
Guo Xiang nodded, "I know, thank you!" ”
Li Chun confessed a few more words and went back to his dormitory.
The weather was hot, and Guo Xiang was sweating.
I took out my towel from my bag, took an enamel basin with red flowers on a white background on the basin stand, and looked outside the door, and there was a faucet at the door, which seemed to be convenient for washing.
Guo Xiang looked along this row, there were faucets in front of each house, and some of them also put coal stoves and iron pots, and it seemed that there were still people cooking here.
There is an open space in front of the dormitory, a row of laundry sinks, and a row of drying racks with cement pillars and steel ropes, which are hung with clothes and bed sheets. It is a staff area with a lot of life.
Guo Xiang took the water and took it to the house, washed his face, and hung the towel on the basin stand.
There was also a half-worn towel hanging on the basin rack and a bar of soap, all clean.
Looking at the house again, although it is simple, it is well organized, not at all like a place where a bachelor lives, it seems that Gu Zhennan is still a person who loves cleanliness.
Guo Xiang likes this very much, the doctor is more or less clean, if she comes in and the house is full of smelly socks and clothes are thrown around, she may not be able to stay for a minute.
Climb up the kang, there is a kang cabinet at the end of the kang, on one side are quilts, blankets, pillows, and on the other side are clothes, all neatly arranged.
Opposite was the desk, on which lay a few books, a pen holder, and a few pieces of white paper pressed underneath a paperweight stone.
Guo Xiang walked over and saw that it was a mechanical drawing.
Just now Li Chun said that Gu Zhennan taught himself to do machine repair, and he didn't expect to be able to draw, so he seems to be a person who is willing to use his brains.
At about half past five, Li Chun came over with dinner.
"Sister-in-law, the meal has been cooked for you, and I also called Zhennan together." Li Chun said.
"Thank you!" Guo Xiang opened the lunch box, it was quite hearty, there were potatoes, eggs, and braised pork.
The oil field is rich, and the food is so good.
"Can family members also eat in the cafeteria?" Guo Xiang couldn't help asking.
"We are eating with tickets, and we will issue fixed meal tickets every month, and if there are family members who don't have enough to eat, we have to pay for it ourselves. If you don't use a ticket, whose seven aunts and eight aunts come here to eat, how can you do it? Li Chun said with a smile.
"That's just as well." Guo Xiang nodded, this is reasonable.
"So some people who have families cook their own food, and it is cheaper to cook by themselves, so you can save a little money. Extra meal tickets can be sold to those in need and some money can be saved. ”
Li Chun said, "Although our salary here is higher than others, many people have to support a large family, and it is not easy. ”
Guo Xiang nodded, isn't it, like Gu Zhennan, the family makes money on his own, and it is also very hard. It's okay if you don't owe debts, but you can't even eat rice when you owe debts.
That's why I saw some people with coal stoves in front of their houses.
"Then sister-in-law, you eat slowly, I'll go back first. Tomorrow I have to go to work, you can go to the cafeteria and eat by yourself, the meal tickets are in the drawer. Li Chun said.
"I'm really bothering you today." Guo Xiang sent Li Chun out.
"You're welcome." Li Chun smiled and returned to the dormitory.
Guo Xiang picked up chopsticks to eat, this one is really too much, full of a big box, it should be the amount of a man, they are oil workers, tired of work, so they eat a lot.
Guo Xiang felt that she could eat at least two meals in this box.
I couldn't eat half of it, and I felt my round belly, I hadn't eaten so full for a long time.
When you are full, you will be sleepy, but your body is too dirty to take a bath.
But the bathhouse didn't open until eight o'clock, and Guo Xiang couldn't wait.
And to be honest, in her previous life, she rarely bathed in public baths, and she was not used to it.
There was a bucket under the basin stand, and Guo Xiang took the bucket outside to catch a bucket of water.
Now that it's hot, even if you use cold water, it won't be too cold, so just wash it in cold water.
The room is about ten square meters, the right is a big kang, the door is a basin stand, the left door is a desk and a chair, and only the upper left corner has an open space.
Guo Xiang plugged the door shut, closed the curtains, and brought the bucket to the corner.
Just be careful when washing, and now that it's hot, even if you sprinkle water on the ground, it will dry quickly.
Some people are greedy for coldness and deliberately sprinkle water on the ground.
When I took off my clothes, I found that there was no soap.
There was soap on the basin stand, and the one was too dry after washing.
Guo Xiang searched in the drawer and found two pieces of soap.
Thinking of the soap used at home, it should have been brought back by Gu Zhennan. He is really a Gu family!
After dismantling a piece of soap, Guo Xiang took a good bath, although he couldn't splash water on a large scale, his body was also a lot refreshed.
When I changed my clothes, I realized that I didn't have pajamas.
When I went to southern Yunnan, I always slept in daytime clothes because it was inconvenient, and now I feel too hot and too constrained when I relax and wear long clothes and trousers.
Looking at the fact that there is no electric fan in the house, Gu Zhennan is really economical, isn't it hot without a fan on such a hot day?
Guo Xiang climbed on the kang, looked in the kang cabinet, and found a pair of big blue shorts, which were still new, and should have been issued uniformly in the factory.
Whatever, let's make do with it first.
The big shorts are already under Guo Xiang's knees, and it seems that Gu Zhennan has grown very tall.
It was much cooler in shorts, Guo Xiang opened the window, the curtains were half drawn, and the door was also hidden, so that he could breathe and not see directly inside.
I'm also a little tired after finishing this, and I don't want to wash my clothes, so I'll wash them tomorrow.
Guo Xiang pulled out a chair, picked up the book on Gu Zhennan's desk and read it.
The lights in the house were too dim, but fortunately there was a table lamp on the table, so Guo Xiang turned on the table lamp and turned off the headlights in the house.
Looking at the book, my eyelids gradually became heavy, and I fell asleep on the table.
When Gu Zhennan came back, he saw the light from the window from a distance, and wondered if Li Chun had come here and helped him cook again?
They came out of the forest farm together, and the two took care of each other and were good brothers.
But why is the door unlocked? People are still in it?
Gu Zhennan pushed open the door and saw a woman with bare arms and legs asleep on her desk.
His face darkened, "Who are you?" ”
Guo Xiang woke up suddenly, turned his head and was startled when he saw the people who came in.
Mom, is this Gu Zhennan? Is he black? Why is it so dark? I only saw a pair of eyes and white teeth, did I fall into the oil drum?
"I ...... I'm Guo Xiang! Guo Xiang stammered.
"Guo Xiang?" Gu Zhennan twisted his eyebrows, isn't Guo Xiang a fool?
