Chapter 37 (1/2)

”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.
