A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 141 [141] Taking a Bath (2000)

It's pitiful to say that Zhuo Lin is such a clean person. After she came here, she was affected by environment, age, conditions and many other factors. Apart from brushing her teeth, washing her face, feet, and PP, she could do it by herself, and it was difficult to wash her hair and take a bath.

First of all, we need plant ashes to wash our hair. If we can’t wash it off by ourselves, we need A Niang’s help.

Taking a bath requires more help from my mother. It is hot in summer, so I can wash it every day, and sometimes I take her to a shallower river to wash. The river water after a day in the sun is still warm after dark, and it is very comfortable to wash.

But in spring and autumn, it is a bit cold to wash at home, and I am not willing to go to the town to spend money in the bathhouse, the key is still afraid of catching cold.

It's winter now, if she doesn't go to the bathhouse to soak, she will really turn into a clay figurine, and she will feel really uncomfortable.

However, she also clearly felt that people in this era are not as dirty as later generations. It is probably due to the environment. Even if it is a rural area, there is more soil, but it is not as strong as the smog, which affects the respiratory tract. , all kinds of strange diseases, and there are not many terminal illnesses.

Xinshi is not considered dry here, so even if you don't take a bath for half a month, it won't be like the sewers will be blocked in the future.

But people must have conditions, and no one would dislike letting themselves be clean. Isn't there no such condition?

Although Xinshi, which is neither south nor north, is not as hot as the south and not as cold as the north, but there are ten days and a half months in a year where the temperature is below zero, and the average temperature in southern Henan Province can reach minus 60 or [-] degrees. It's an exaggeration, even under the greenhouse effect of later generations, the winter is minus seven or eight degrees to ten degrees below zero. Of course, this refers to the coldest time.

So after such a comparison, you will find that the temperature in Xinshi is not bad, but after all, it is below zero, and it is still bitingly cold!
There are warm kangs in the north, but the weather in the south is warm, so it is hard to live in this area that is neither south nor north. There is no heating kang, and it is cold, cold and humid at the same time.

How comfortable would it be if you could take a comfortable hot bath at this time?
A Niang was a little embarrassed by Zhuo Lin's reminder, because she found out that she was not even as good as a child?

Quickly nodded in response, "Okay, okay, Auntie will take you and Zhuo Jian to take a bath tomorrow, ang!"

Take Zhuo to see him?

Zhuo Lin frowned: "Mother, don't take Zhuo Jian there, he is a boy, shouldn't he go with Dad and brothers?"

Wang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately smiled.

"Haha, Linlin of our family knows how to be shy, and also knows the difference between men and women. Okay, very good, then let daddy take the older brothers and younger brothers together."

Last year I was poor and had nothing to eat, so naturally I would not think of taking a bath. This is too extravagant. This year is different. Now that the family has a floating income, although it is not enough to eat meat every day, it is definitely one of the best in Ximu Village. people.

Because their family is so harmonious, they are united as one, their hearts go to the same place, there is no external heart, and the harmony between sisters-in-law and brothers and sisters is even more harmonious, and their lives will naturally be able to live.

The people in the village are envious, but they also know that if this kind of thing falls on their own family, there may not be no conflicts.

I can only envy that there are no parents-in-law, sister-in-law, and the two sisters-in-law's family does not need them to feed them. There is no complicated relationship. Can it be discordant?
The next day was a Saturday, and by the afternoon, not only Zhuo Dajun would come back, but even the children would come back.

In the morning, the two sisters-in-law made tofu at home. After making the tofu, they had a quick lunch, and then let Tao Yi take Zhuo Jian to guard the house, and the two sisters-in-law took Zhuo Lin to take a bath.

Zhuo Lin was very happy along the way, because she was about to take a bath, and she could be clean and sleep comfortably tonight.

It's just that when she arrived at the bathhouse in high spirits, she was dumbfounded when she saw more than a dozen people taking a bath at the same time in the big pool in the middle.

With such a bad condition, is it worth five cents per person?Of course, she's free.

There is still a layer of white ash floating on the surface of the big pool, I can't see it...

"Mom, I don't want to wash it. The water is not clean. Let's go home. It's disgusting. You see, so many people share a tank of water. We don't know who is sick or not. How can it be like this? What about taking a shower? If so, I'd rather be dirty, I won't wash, don't wash!"

How can Wang and Chen not know that bathing like this is not clean?

But it's cheap here, five cents to wash it once, no matter how expensive it is, you have to find another room and change from a big pool to a small pool, and the small pool is your family.

Do you want to change it?
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law exchanged glances and sighed, "If it doesn't work, let's change it to a small pool, and just the three of us wash it once? However, it costs [-] cents."

Zhuo Lin blushed beside her, really wanting to say, isn't her family dirty?Can I not!
But in front of her is someone who loves her and loves her, she can't say such words, so she watched the uncle go out and pay the money, then took their changed clothes, followed them into a small room, and waited for them to wear The rubber shoes refreshed the small pool, got a water pipe, filled the pool with water, and then went out.

So, it looks clean here, but actually, cough...

If she was in a hurry, she couldn't help saying it just now. Maybe she often said such words surprisingly, and neither of the sisters-in-law felt that there was any problem with these words. It was even more fortunate that these words were said to them. If someone hears you, don't you start arguing?
Zhuo Lin sighed, resigned to her fate and followed them to take off her clothes.

The pool is not big, and there are four such pools in this room, not a single room, but the water is placed separately.

How about saying that there is no shortage of people who can do business in all ages?
So Zhuo Lin didn't want to say how aggrieved this bath was. Although she seemed to be clean in the end, she had already had a psychological shadow on the bathhouses of this era.

When you see the pits on the concrete floor in the future, you probably think of the pool in the bathhouse.

After taking a shower in winter, my hair was wet, and it was frozen shortly after I came out, forming strands of frost.

In order to wash their hair, Auntie and Auntie also bought a piece of fragrant soap. Not to mention, after using fragrant soap, the hair is indeed not greasy, and it feels astringent, and it looks much cleaner.

When I got home after taking a shower, all the family members came back, looking at the sky, thinking that the bathhouse was closed late.

"Why don't you all go wash up too? Are you eating when you come back? Or do you go after eating?"

After discussing with the boys, the men decisively chose to take a bath first, so when the men were about to leave with a change of clothes and the small bamboo baskets they had brought for washing, Zhuo Lin hurriedly took out her own small towel.

"No, this is mine, not for your use!"
