Chapter 109 [109] Taking a bath

The carpet was actually dirty, and He Meizhen quickly washed it.

When he returned to the kitchen, he found that Huang Xiaopei's bowl hadn't been washed.

She quickly said: "Come on, Xiaopei, take a rest, I'll wash the dishes."

While talking, she had already rolled up her long sleeves.

"No need, Mom, I'm almost done washing, you can take a rest."

"What are you resting for? I didn't do anything."

He Meizhen is very good at this point, she is quite self-aware, she knows that she came to Shanghai this time to wash and cook for her daughter-in-law, pick up and drop off the children.

"Besides, I was here to help cook for you. How can I not help but cause you more trouble."

He Meizhen's words reached Huang Xiaopei's heart. The parents-in-law have been at home for a few hours, and she can bear no matter what they do now, but she is afraid that they will forget the purpose of coming, so don't become her to serve them.

Now that her mother-in-law said so, she feels relieved and secretly happy.

He smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "Mom! You really don't need it. You just came here. Let's take a rest first."

Speaking of which, Huang Xiaopei happily took over the job from He Meizhen.

"Let me do it?" He Meizhen continued, after all, she was not familiar with the habits of this daughter-in-law, and she didn't know whether the daughter-in-law was really polite or fake.

"It's really unnecessary, and my hands are sticky. If you're okay, you've been sitting on the train for so long, or you can go take a shower first, it's not too early."

"bath?"

He Meizhen lowered her head and smelled her body suspiciously, and after confirming that she didn't have any particularly strong smell, she said with a smile, "The weather is not very hot, and we all took a bath when we came here, so we don't need to take a bath every day, right? "

"Mom, it's 27.8 degrees now, let's take a bath, so that you can sleep more comfortably." Huang Xiaopei replied without thinking.

Then I felt that what I said was wrong, and added, "I don't think you are dirty, I just think that there are all kinds of smells on the train, and it would be more comfortable to take a bath."

"Oh, that's fine too."

Seeing Huang Xiaopei's insistence that she doesn't need help, and now urging herself to take a bath, He Meizhen understands that she shouldn't cause trouble here.

She whispered, "Then I'll let your dad take a bath first."

He Meizhen turned around and hesitated for a while before leaving, then came back and asked, "Then where do we take a bath?"

"Just the bathroom."

Huang Xiaopei looked towards the bathroom, which was adjacent to the living room.

"Oh."

The house that He Meizhen rented in the town did not have a water heater at all. Now in winter they boil water directly in the basin for washing, and the house in the country does not even have a water heater, so she went to the bathroom to take a look, and did not know how to turn it on. Take a bath.

So a few minutes later, she came to the kitchen again, with a look of humming.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xiaopei, I...I actually want to ask how you use your shower?"

"Have you never used a water heater before?" Huang Xiaopei was very surprised. After asking, she realized that she usually went back to her mother-in-law's house and never lived there. She never paid attention to whether they used a water heater.

"It was used at your aunt's house, but I forgot how to do it." He Meizhen said shyly.

"Oh, that's it, it's okay, it's very simple, I'll teach you and you'll understand."

So Huang Xiaopei hurriedly took her mother-in-law to the bathroom, and patiently told her that red water is hot water, blue water is cold water, and that she can adjust the temperature by herself.

After returning from teaching, Huang Xiaopei suddenly felt on the way back that he cared too little for his mother-in-law’s family. He regretted not noticing this before. She would have bought a water heater for them if she had discovered this problem earlier, and she also blamed her younger brother Qingfu. , They spent the Chinese New Year at home for so many years, but they didn't even buy a water heater. I really don't know what they think. Huang Xiaopei thought, now the families without water heaters are probably only in particularly poor areas.

On He Meizhen's side, after learning how to boil water to take a bath, she first went back to her room to find the clothes that everyone changed, then went to the living room and threw Su Tiejun's clothes beside Su Tiejun's seat, and urged Su Tiejun: "Hurry up and take a bath Bar?"

"You took the wrong medicine, why take a bath now?" Su Tiejun asked without looking back.

He Meizhen lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and wash it up. After taking the train, you will smell bad all over your body."

"Are you okay?" Su Tiejun raised his head and stared at him this time and said, "What's the smell? How long have you been in Shanghai, what are you so particular about!"

"dont wash."

"Hurry up and wash, this is not your home, so be careful." He Meizhen whispered.

Then she pointed in the direction of the bathroom, "The place to take a shower is in the bathroom. The way to take a shower is the same as your sister's."

Su Tiejun replied impatiently: "You're driving me crazy. I've been so noisy to death watching TV."

Su Tiejun still couldn't speak calmly as before, and even an ordinary question turned into a quarrel.

He Meizhen, who has lived with Su Tiejun for most of her life, has obviously figured out his temper.

She was not angry either, and said directly: "You must take a bath today. If you don't take a bath, then I will wash it first, otherwise there will be so many people."

As she said that, He Meizhen seemed to remember something, and quickly said, "Oh, Zihan hasn't taken a bath yet, so I'll give her a simple wash first."

"You should go first, the clothes are next to you." He Meizhen said and left.

Then He Meizhen went to the bathroom to find a basin to wash Su Zihan's face.

But she found that there were many washbasins neatly arranged in the bathroom. The washbasins on them were of various colors and shapes, and they all looked very beautiful.

He Meizhen didn't know if she could use that washbasin. Just as she was hesitating whether to ask Huang Xiaopei, she suddenly found a stainless steel washbasin at the bottom of the washbasin. She was familiar with this washbasin, one that can be seen everywhere in the countryside. The old mobile phone is replaced with a washbasin, and that washbasin is such a stainless steel washbasin, but this washbasin is slightly smaller than the usual washbasin.

She thought that this washbasin was at the bottom and looked the most ordinary, so it must not be used much, so she picked up this washbasin decisively, filled a basin of water for Su Zihan to scrub her body.

Just as He Meizhen left the bathroom, Su Tiejun's TV series had just finished broadcasting. He looked at the empty living room and dining room, and then glanced at the clothes next to the seat.

So he also slightly lowered his head and smelled himself. There was indeed a special smell from the train. Anyway, he was fine now. He thought: take a shower, just take a shower. Anyway, there is no need to bother with boiling water like in the countryside.

So he stood up slowly, picked up his clothes, and went to the bathroom in the direction He Meizhen had just said.
