Chapter 37

"By the way, sister-in-law." Li Chun thought of something and looked back. "There is a bathhouse behind the row house, both men and women, but the women's bathhouse is relatively small. After all, there are few women. Hot water is available at 8 p.m. if you want to take a bath, you may have to wait. "

"Also, the toilet is at both ends of the dormitory, the man is on the left and the woman is on the right. If you need..." Li Chun didn't mean to go on.

Guo Xiang nodded, "I see. Thank you!"

Li Chun confessed a few more words and went back to his dormitory.

It was hot and Guo Xiang was sweating.

He took out his towel from his bag, took an enamel washbasin with white background and red flowers on the washbasin rack, 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 were faucets in front of each room, and some had coal stoves and iron pans. It seemed that there were still people cooking here.

There is an open space in front of the dormitory, with a row of laundry pools, and then there is a row of clothes racks with cement columns and reinforced ropes, which are full of clothes and sheets. It is a staff area with a lot of life.

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

There is also a half old towel hanging on the washbasin rack and a bar of soap. They are very clean.

Looking at the house again, although it is simple, it is well organized. It is not like where a bachelor lives. It seems that Gu Zhennan is still a clean man.

Guo Xiang likes this very much. The doctor is more or less obsessed with cleanliness. If she comes in and is full of smelly socks and clothes, she may not 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.

Opposite is the desk. On the desk are several books, a pen holder and several pieces of white paper, which are pressed under a paperweight stone.

Guo Xiang went over to have a look. It was a mechanical drawing.

Just now Li Chun said that Gu Zhennan taught himself how to repair machines. Unexpectedly, he can also draw pictures. It seems that he is still a man willing to use his head.

At about 5:30, 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 very rich. There were potatoes, eggs and braised meat.

The oil field is rich and the food is so good.

"Can family members eat in the canteen?" Guo Xiang asked.

"We eat with tickets. We will issue fixed meal tickets every month. If there are family members who don't have enough food, they have to pay for it themselves. If you don't need tickets, whose seven aunts and seven aunts come here for dinner, how can you? " Li Chun smiled.

"That's true." Guo Xiang nodded. That's reasonable.

"So some families cook by themselves. Cooking by themselves is cheaper and can save some money. The extra meal tickets can be sold to people in need and save some money. "

Li Chun said, "although the salary here is higher than others, it's not easy for many people to raise a large family."

Guo Xiang nodded, isn't it? Like Gu Zhennan, his family makes money alone. It's also very hard. It's good to have no debt. I can't even eat rice when I'm in debt.

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

"Take your time, sister-in-law. I'll go back first. I'm going to work tomorrow. You can go to the canteen to eat by yourself. The meal tickets are in the drawer. " Li Chun said.

"It's really troublesome for you today." Guo Xiang sent Li Chun out.

"You're welcome." Li Chun returned to the dormitory with a smile.

Guo Xiang picked up chopsticks to eat. This one is really too much. A large box is full. It should be the amount of a man. They are oil workers and tired, so they eat more.

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

I can't eat half of it. I feel my round belly. I haven't been so full for a long time.

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

But the bathhouse didn't open until eight o'clock. Guo Xiang couldn't wait.

And to tell the truth, in her previous life, she seldom took a bath in a public bathhouse and was not used to it.

There was a bucket under the washbasin rack. Guo Xiang took the bucket outside and received a bucket of water.

It's hot now. Even if you use cold water, it won't be too cold. Just wash it with cold water.

The room is about ten square meters, with a big Kang on the right, a washbasin rack near the door, a desk and chair on the left, and only an open space in the upper left corner.

Guo Xiang closed the door, drew the curtain, and lifted the bucket to the corner.

Just 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 the cold and deliberately want to sprinkle water on the ground.

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

There is soap on the washstand. It's too dry after washing.

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

Think of the soap used at home, it should be brought back by Gu Zhennan. He really cares about his family!

After removing a piece of soap, Guo Xiang took a good bath. Although he couldn't splash water, he was also refreshing.

When I changed my clothes, I found that I didn't have pajamas.

When I went to southern Yunnan, I always slept in daytime clothes because it was inconvenient. Now I relax and wear long clothes and trousers. I feel too hot and bound.

Once again, there is no electric fan in the house. Gu Zhennan is really economical. Isn't it hot without a fan in such a hot day?

Guo Xiang climbed onto the Kang and looked in the Kang cabinet. He found a pair of blue shorts, which are still new. They should be distributed uniformly in the factory.

Whatever, just make do with it first.

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

Wearing shorts, it was much cooler. Guo Xiang opened the window, pulled the curtain in half, and the door was open. In this way, he could breathe freely without seeing directly inside.

I'm a little tired after finishing these. I don't want to wash my clothes. I'll do it tomorrow.

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

The lamp in the room was too dark. Fortunately, there was a lamp on the table. Guo Xiang turned on the lamp and pulled out the headlamp in the room.

Looking at the book, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and he fell asleep on the table.

When Gu Zhennan came back, he saw the light in the window from a distance. He wondered if Li Chun had come and helped himself to cook again?

They came out of the forest farm together. They take care of each other and are good brothers.

But why isn't the door locked? Is someone still in there?

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

His face turned black. "Who are you?"

Guo Xiang suddenly woke up, turned his head and looked at 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 you fall into the oil bucket?

"I... I'm Guo Xiang!" Guo Xiang stammered.

"Guo Xiang?" Gu Zhennan frowns. Isn't Guo Xiang a fool?
