Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s

  Chapter 37 Who Are You

"That's right, sister-in-law." Li Chun thought of something and turned around. "There is a bathhouse behind this row house, both for men and women, but the bathhouse for women is relatively small. If you want to take a bath, you may have to wait."

  "Also, the toilets are at the two ends of the dormitory. The male is on the left and the female is on the right. If you need it..." Li Chun was not embarrassed to continue.

  Guo Xiang nodded, "I see, thank you!"

  Li Chun confessed a few more words before returning to his dormitory.

  It was hot, and Guo Xiang was sweating.

   took out his towel from the bag, took an enamel washbasin with white background and red flowers on the washbasin stand, and looked outside the door. There was a faucet at the door, which seemed to be convenient for washing.

  Guo Xiang looked along this row. There are faucets in front of each house, and some have coal stoves and iron pots. It seems that some people are cooking here.

  There is an open space in front of the dormitory, a row of laundry pools, and a row of clothes racks with concrete pillars and steel ropes, full of clothes and sheets. It is a very lively work area.

  Guo Xiang took the water to the house, washed his face, and dried the towel on the basin rack.

  There is still a half-old towel hung on the washbasin shelf with a piece of soap, which is very clean.

  Looking at the house again, although it is rudimentary, it is neatly organized, not at all like a place where a single man lives. It seems that Gu Zhennan is still a clean person.

  Guo Xiang likes this very much. The doctor is somewhat hygienic. If the house is full of smelly socks and the clothes are littered, she may not be able to stay for a minute.

  Climbing up the kang, there is a kang cabinet at the end of the kang, with quilts, blankets, and pillows on one side, and clothes on the other, all neatly arranged.

  On the opposite side is a desk. On the desk are a few books, a pen holder, and a few white papers pressed down by a paperweight.

  Guo Xiang walked over and took a look at the mechanical drawings.

  Just now, Li Chun said that Gu Zhennan taught himself machine repair, but he couldn't imagine that he could still draw. It seems that he is still willing to use his brains.

   Around five thirty, Li Chun came over for dinner.

   "Sister-in-law, the meal is ready for you, and I'm calling from Zhennan," Li Chun said.

  "Thank you!" Guo Xiang opened the lunch box. It was quite hearty, with 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 paying for the meal. We will issue a fixed meal ticket every month. If there is not enough food for family members, we have to pay for it by ourselves. If we don't need the ticket, the seven aunts and eight aunts of whose family will come here to eat, then How can it be done?" Li Chun smiled.

   "That's true." Guo Xiang nodded, this is reasonable.

   “So some people with family members cook their own meals. It’s cheaper to cook on their own, so you can save a little money. The extra meal tickets can be sold to those in need, and you can save some money.”

  Li Chun said, "Although our salary here is higher than others, it is not easy for many people to raise a family."

  Guo Xiang nodded, isn't it? Like Gu Zhennan, he is the only one in the family to make money, and it is very hard. It's okay if I don't owe a debt, I can't even eat rice when I owe it.

   So just now I saw some people have coal stoves in front of their houses. That's why.

   "Then sister-in-law, eat slowly, I'll go back first. I'm going to work tomorrow. You can go to the cafeteria to have a meal by yourself, and the tickets are in the drawer." Li Chun said.

   "Today is really troublesome for you." Guo Xiang sent Li Chun out.

   "You are polite." Li Chun smiled and returned to the dormitory.

  Guo Xiang took the chopsticks to eat, this one is really too much, a big box full, it should be the size of a man, they are oil workers, tired of work, so they eat a lot.

  Guo Xiang thinks she can eat at least two meals with this box.

  Having eaten half of it, I can’t eat it anymore. I feel the chubby belly. I haven’t eaten this full for a long time.

  I feel sleepy when I'm full, but I need to take a shower if I'm too dirty.

  But the bathhouse won’t open until eight o’clock, so Guo Xiang couldn’t wait.

  And to be honest, she rarely took a bath in a public bath in her previous life and was not used to it.

  There is a bucket under the washbasin stand, and Guo Xiang takes the bucket outside and picks up a bucket of water.

  It's hot now, even if you use cold water, it won't be too cold, so just wash it with cold water.

  The room is about ten square meters. On the right is the big kang, next to the door is a washbasin stand, and the door on the left is a desk and a chair. Only the upper left corner has an open space.

  Guo Xiang plugged in the door, drew the curtains, and lifted the bucket to the corner.

  Be careful when washing, besides, it’s hot now, even if you sprinkle water on the ground, it will dry quickly.

  Some people are greedy for cool and deliberately sprinkle water on the ground.

  I took off my clothes and realized that there was no soap.

  There is soap on the washbasin shelf, and the body is too dry after washing.

  Guo Xiang looked in the drawer and found two pieces of soap.

  I thought that the soaps used at home should have been brought back by Gu Zhennan. He really is the Gu family!

   took a piece of soap out, and Guo Xiang took a good bath. Although he could not splash water, his body was refreshed a lot.

  When I changed clothes, I realized that I didn’t have pajamas.

  When I went to southern Yunnan, I always wore clothes during the day to sleep because it was inconvenient. Now I feel too hot and too restrained when I relax and wear long pants.

  I saw that there was no electric fan in the house. Gu Zhennan was really economical. Isn’t it hot if there is no fan in such a hot day?

  Guo Xiang climbed up the kang, looked in the kang cabinet, and found a pair of big blue shorts, which were new, and they should have been issued by the factory.

  Leave him alone, just put it on first.

  The big shorts are already under Guo Xiang's knees. It seems that Gu Zhennan is very tall.

  It was much cooler wearing shorts. Guo Xiang opened the window, the curtain was half drawn, and the door was hidden, so that it can breathe without directly seeing the inside.

  I’m a bit tired after finishing these. I don’t want to wash the clothes. Let’s do it tomorrow.

  Guo Xiang pulled out the chair, picked up the book on Gu Zhennan's desk, and read it.

  The light in the room was too dim, but fortunately there was a lamp on the table. Guo Xiang turned on the lamp and pulled out the headlight in the house.

  Looking at the book, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she fell asleep on the table.

  When Gu Zhennan came back, he saw light from the window far away, wondering if Li Chun had been here and helped himself with food again?

  They came out of the forest farm together. They looked after each other and were very good brothers.

  But why is the door unlocked? People still inside?

  Gu Zhennan opened the door and saw a woman with bare arms and legs asleep on her desk.

   His face turned black, "Who are you?"

  Guo Xiang woke up suddenly, and turned his head to see the person who came in.

  Mom, this is Gu Zhennan? Is he a black man? Why is it so dark? I only saw a pair of eyes and white teeth. Did they fall into the oil barrel?

   "I... I am Guo Xiang!" Guo Xiang stammered.

   "Guo Xiang?" Gu Zhennan twisted his eyebrows. Isn't Guo Xiang a fool?

  　 Thank you Banshi Shuhuang, Ying Doudou 1229, Xiao Renfengqing for rewarding 100 starting coins, okay!
