Chapter 154 [154] The efficacy of the toilet
After finishing speaking, Huang Xiaopei saw that her mother-in-law was about to leave, she thought that her mother-in-law took the initiative to talk to her about something, wouldn't this be an excellent opportunity to talk to each other.

So she quickly stopped her mother-in-law: "Hey mom!"

"What's the matter?" He Meizhen hurried back after hearing the shout and asked.

Huang Xiaopei hesitated for a while before saying, "Actually, I don't know what to say about this."

"It's okay, just tell me if you have anything to say, it's all from your own family, there's nothing bad to say."

Although He Meizhen said this, her heart was beating drums, thinking that she might have done something wrong, which made her angry.

Huang Xiaopei said with a smile: "It's really nothing, I just want to ask you, our house uses a toilet, are you not used to using the toilet to go to the toilet?"

Huang Xiaopei suddenly asked He Meizhen a little surprised.

But her problem is indeed a problem.

She is really not used to using the toilet to go to the toilet. After all, in He Meizhen's hometown of Jiangxi, the family basically uses the squat toilet to go to the toilet. Big has never actually used the toilet.

"Hehe. Why did you suddenly ask about this?" He Meizhen smiled awkwardly and asked.

"Nothing, just ask casually."

"Hehe. To be honest, I'm really not used to it. I haven't been able to go to the bathroom for the past two days," He Meizhen told the truth this time.

After she finished speaking, she smiled and explained, "Hehe. You know the situation in our hometown. We don't have the habit of using toilets. We have squatted when going to the toilet for decades. I always feel like sitting on a stool when I go to the toilet, not like going to the toilet at all, and I really couldn’t pull it out the first two days.”

"But today is a little bit better." He Meizhen added after speaking.

"Hehe, Mom, actually I know the feeling you said very well. I was not used to it when I first came to Shanghai. This is fine in school. At home, most houses are equipped with toilets. We Home is no exception, they are all like this, so slowly, we actually get used to it after a long time of use.”

"Maybe you will get used to it slowly."

"Yeah, that's what this thing is."

"However, I always feel that this toilet is not as good as the one at home. It doesn't feel hygienic. It's okay for the family to use it. If outsiders come here often, it doesn't feel very good."

At this time, He Meizhen has a strong sense of hygiene.

"That's true, but we don't use toilet mats, and we wash them often," Huang Xiaopei continued, "In fact, from a long-term perspective and from a physical perspective, using toilets is good, especially for the elderly. "

"Why?" He Meizhen asked.

Huang Xiaopei explained: "Mom, look, it's like this. The knee joints of our human body actually have a service life."

As he spoke, Huang Xiaopei patted his knee joints with his hands, in case He Meizhen didn't understand.

"This also has a service life?"

"Of course, in fact, every organ in our body has a service life. Otherwise, why would our organs age slowly when we get old? In fact, this is the reason."

"Yes, that's it. I thought it was just people getting old and their organs getting old."

"An organ is old, which means that its service life has reached a certain level. These two mean the same thing." Huang Xiaopei explained slowly, "Look, many people in our family are more or less old when they are old. Do you have joint problems?"

"Well, that's true. When people get old, there will naturally be."

"Actually, it would be much better if we used the toilet. The kind of squatting at home to go to the toilet is very harmful to the knee joints. Using the toilet will reduce the damage to the knee joints. Do you think that every time we squat down, we are actually In the case of knee joint wear, we use squatting toilets, but it is actually difficult for the elderly to go to the toilet when they are old, so many elderly people, even if they use squatting toilets, will still buy a separate seat to facilitate toilet use. That's why."

"Oh, that's it!"

"Yes, in fact, as long as you get used to it slowly, you will feel that using the toilet is actually very convenient, and it will protect your knee joints very well. Especially for you, your legs and feet are not good, it is best If it can reduce the force on the knees, reduce it, otherwise, when you get older, it will be difficult to squat down."

"Don't tell me, at my age, every time I go to the toilet, my legs and feet are indeed sore."

"So, it's much better to use the toilet."

"Oh," He Meizhen said with a smile after finishing speaking, "But we may not be used to it, and it always feels weird to use the toilet."

"Just get used to it slowly," Huang Xiaopei added very considerately, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can put a few pieces of paper on the toilet separately when you go to the toilet, it will make you feel more at ease."

This method can be regarded as Huang Xiaopei's own experience, because she was not used to using the toilet at the beginning, and she always felt unhygienic. Although her mother-in-law didn't say it, she could still feel it, so it can be regarded as imparting experience.

"Oh well."

"Oh, by the way, there is also the toilet. You can't step on it. It's actually very dangerous. Although the toilet may not break if you step on it, there is still a risk. Besides, you are old. If you step on it and accidentally slip it, it will be troublesome, and it will hurt your muscles and bones."

Huang Xiaopei finally got to the point.

"Oh, no, how could you step on it? I must know that. It's scary to step on it, not to mention dangerous."

"Hehe, yes," Huang Xiaopei said with a smile, "But it seems that Dad stepped on it when he went to the toilet. After all, we squatted directly on it. It's not hygienic for him to step on it like this."

"Of course there are also the risks I just mentioned. It's very unsafe."

"Really? Is your father stepping on it like this?" I really don't know. "He Meizhen replied with a look of surprise.

Huang Xiaopei looked at her mother-in-law, probably really didn't know, so she said again: "It's true that I saw footprints on the toilet when I went to the toilet just now."

"Then I'll talk to him later."

He Meizhen also understood, and she understood what her daughter-in-law meant.

"Well, please tell Dad, safety first."

"I know." He Meizhen said, "Then I'll wash the dishes first."

"Okay, then you are busy, and I'm going to prepare lessons too."

After Huang Xiaopei left, He Meizhen kept thinking about what Huang Xiaopei meant just now. In fact, for He Meizhen, she would rather Huang Xiaopei have something to say. What happened on the toilet inevitably made He Meizhen think a lot.

Is this what Huang Xiaopei really meant?
