Logically speaking, this should be a servant of the Xu Family Village, but she actually dared to look directly at them and speak to them in such an equal tone. Don't the Xu family brothers and sisters think she is overstepping their bounds?
However, the three siblings just calmly accepted the cards and went to their respective bathrooms.
Xu Erniang and Xu Yue were women, and everyone in the academy knew that. Seeing them going in to the right with their baskets, everyone looked at Xu Dalang.
Xu Dalang is not as easy to talk to as the two sisters, but he is not aloof either. If you talk to him and he is in a good mood, he will still respond.
For example, at this time, Xu Dalang took the initiative to call them: "Go in, I haven't had a good bath in half a month, I can't bear it anymore!"
After that, he walked in with the basket in hand.
Ziyu and others looked at each other, leaving the girl who was still standing at the bathroom door, and followed Xu Dalang's pace.
I opened the straw curtain, turned around a low wall, and felt a stream of hot water blowing into my face.
But this is not a bathroom yet, just a front room for storing things.
A man who looked like a steward in the house told them to take off their clothes and put them in the frame, and then they could go in.
The servants were doing better. They rarely took a bath once a year. There was no resistance. They quickly stripped off their clothes and prepared to wait on their masters to change.
Xu Dalang shouted: "Don't you have any skills?"
Ziyu and others were immediately embarrassed.
It was strange enough for everyone to be honest with each other, but when Xu Dalang shouted like this, he immediately gritted his teeth, gave up, waved away the servants, stripped naked, folded his arms, and followed the other manager in.
This is a strange room. The floor is covered with the same gray and black floor that is connected in one piece like a racecourse.
This kind of stone seems to be very waterproof, so it is used in bathrooms.
For example, the bathroom in a warehouse is divided into small compartments. The manager said that you can find your respective bathroom according to the number on the sign in your hand.
Xu Dalang took the lead and found his own bathroom. As soon as he stood still, he heard someone behind the wall ask:
"What's the date?"
Xu Dalang replied: "No. 5."
Immediately afterwards there was a chorus: "Put the hot water on No. 5——!"
Within a moment, a stream of hot water spurted out from the lotus-like thing on Xu Dalang's head.
Warm hot water was poured from head to toe, and Xu Dalang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
When Ziyu and others saw this, they looked at the arm-sized golden pipes behind them in surprise, "Is this a copper pipe?"
Looking down at my feet, I saw that the leaking mesh was also made of copper. The Xu family was so luxurious!
"What's the date?"
The person behind the wall was not the one to answer their questions, the other person was just asking questions in a business-like manner.
Boya looked down at the number plate and said tentatively: "No. 3."
There was the same harmony singing again, and then with a "pop" sound, hot water sprayed down. Boya was startled at first, and then he was surrounded by the warm water, and started scrubbing with surprise and joy.
The rest of the people followed suit and rushed to report the numbers.
After pouring the first bucket of hot water, the hair and skin had been soaked. The steward came in carrying a box, wearing a mask and gloves, and each person was given a small piece of soy soap and a towel.
At first glance, the soy soap is specially cut, just enough for one use.
The towel was made larger than an ordinary sweat towel. It was as big as half the body when unfolded. It was soft and absorbent. It was actually a strange material they had never seen before.
Gu Rui
Everyone followed Xu Dalang's example and applied bean soap to every corner of their body and hair until they used up a whole block. They said something behind the wall, and a second bucket of hot water followed.
This is much more comfortable than taking a bath in a tub, and the room is warm so you won't feel cold even in winter.
Thinking that Xu Dalang could take a comfortable hot bath in the cold winter without having to worry about catching wind or cold, all the classmates cried with envy.
After everyone had finished washing and drying their hair with large absorbent towels, a few guys in the storage room had already smoked all their clothes with mugwort.
If possible, I'm afraid I wish they had their heads shaved so they would feel clean.
The hygiene conditions of the young masters like Boya are not bad, but those of the entourage are not. They must have a few lice and fleas on their heads and bodies.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, I saw the green stubble under the turbans of some of the waiters. I was shocked and felt a little anxious.
The guys laughed and generously took off their headscarves, revealing their shaved heads, with a green stubble just emerging.
"My wife said that this way I won't get lice, and it's also convenient for bathing. In winter, my hair will dry quickly after washing, and I won't be afraid of catching wind and cold."
Boya and others were stunned at the scene, and they suddenly remembered that the group they met when they just entered the gate seemed to be wearing a headscarf.
Could it be that it's also so empty down there?
Looking at Xu Dalang again, his hair is much shorter than theirs, and can only be tied up.
"My body, hair, and skin are protected by my parents, you, you..."
Until he walked out of the bathroom, Boya still couldn't recover from the shock. He pointed at Xu Dalang and stopped talking.
However, it seems that not everyone in Xujiazhuang shaved their heads without lice, nor did Wang force them to shave.
There are also many women who have long hair, but it is also much shorter than the common length. Some of them go down the back, and some of them are just long enough to be tied up.
If you want to talk about shorter ones, there is one!
"Ma Guifang, are you finally willing to cut your hair?"
When Xu Erniang came out of the bathhouse, she saw Ma Guifang leading a group of girls distributing bath signs to the women in the village. She looked at her hair as short as her ears in surprise and asked.
Ma Guifang is a professional lice breeder. Xu Erniang saw her scratching her head all the time in the textile factory and wanted to scratch her skin, so she encouraged Ma Guifang to shave her head.
But Ma Guifang refused to say anything, so she had no choice but to let her go.
Unexpectedly, after half a month of absence, it was actually cut short, and it was so short that it stood out.
When Ma Guifang heard Xu Erniang's teasing, she hurriedly tightened the scarf on her head in an attempt to cover herself up.
However, this is in vain, it can be seen at a glance whether there is a bun or not.
She had no choice but to cry and said aggrievedly: "That kid from my family just entered the intermediate class. He took some biology class and said that my hair is a paradise for lice. No one paid attention. This kid borrowed it from Zhou Rong's family. Scissors, cut off a big piece for me!"
"How can I see anyone with this bald patch? I have to cut it all off and let it grow back in the future... I just don't know how long it will take before I can wear my previous bun!"
As she spoke, Ma Guifang gritted her teeth. Xu Erniang laughed, not daring to provoke her again, and hurriedly led her sister away who was still staring at the cement floor.
Xu Yue was shocked, no less than Boya and others. She saw right that the floors in the racecourse and bathhouse were really cement!
My sister looked calm, as if she already knew.
Xu Yue took a breath, couldn't help but grabbed her sister and asked, "Has Mom found the limestone mine?"
Xu Erniang raised her eyebrows in agreement.
Xu Yue asked: "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Moreover, her sister actually knew something that she didn’t even know!
