After dinner, Cheng Qiao went to the waiter of the state-owned hotel and bought four bathing tickets from her for two yuan. In fact, the bathing tickets only cost twenty cents each, but according to the black market price, it is not normal to double the price.
Cheng Qiao took out Li Huan and Xu Hui's change of clothes, towels and soap from the backpack, and then took little Cheng Li and Li Le into the women's bathroom.
Li Le went to a public bathhouse to take a bath for the first time. When he saw everyone bathing naked in the mist, he felt a little embarrassed for a while.
"Lele, help me get the bathtub over there."
There are several round wooden bathtubs placed in the bathroom, which are for children. Everyone is very conscious, and those without children will never take them.
Li Le brought the bathtub and saw that Cheng Qiao had taken off only his underwear and shorts, so he could only take off his clothes. The two locked the clothes into the cabinet, put the key to the cabinet directly on their wrists, and entered
Went to the bathhouse.
"You wash first, and I'll help little Cheng Li wash it."
Little Cheng Li usually took a bath in the large bathroom of Cheng Qiao's space. He had never been to a bathroom like this before. He was so excited that he danced and almost slipped to the floor.
"Don't move around. If you slip, it will be very painful. You will have to go to the hospital for injections and medicine."
Cheng Qiao threatened little Cheng Li in a low voice, and little Cheng Li showed his little teeth and smiled stupidly at Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao couldn't restrain the love in her heart, so she picked up his face and kissed him hard.
Little Cheng Li also hugged Cheng Qiao's neck, her little face pressed against Cheng Qiao's cheek affectionately, enjoying the beautiful mother-son affection.
The two of them waited for a while before starting to take a shower, but they didn't notice Li Le standing next to him, standing under the shower, washing his body and crying, thankful that his second brother had married a good wife.
After taking a bath, the five people walked out of the bathroom smelling delicious. Xuhui held Li Le's hand and kept asking Li Le if there was a bathhouse in the bathroom.
Li Le didn't understand and asked what a bathhouse was. Xu Hui told him that the bathhouse was a big pool, but there were too many people in it and the water looked tired.
Li Le trembled all over after hearing this. Hearing what Xu Hui said, that bathhouse was dirtier than the big river in Xiangyang Village. Fortunately, the women's bathroom did not have such a bathhouse, otherwise who would dare to go into the water.
Back at the guest house, Cheng Qiao took out the clothes that had been washed in the bathroom and prepared to hang them up. Unexpectedly, Li Huan also washed their clothes and hung them up to dry with a smile.
"Mom, can't men do laundry?"
Xu Hui looked at Cheng Qiao who was hanging clothes and asked.
"Why do you ask?"
"My father and I were doing laundry in the bathroom, and the man next to us laughed at us for being sissies."
"What do you think?"
"My dad is not a sissy. My dad can shoot guns, kill wild boars, and catch bad guys. Those who think they are big men are the real sissies."
"Xu Hui, your mother is very happy that you have grown up."
Hearing Cheng Qiao's praise, Xu Hui also smiled, and he and Lele went to coax little Cheng Li to sleep.
In the end, Li Huan and Cheng Qiao took little Cheng Li to sleep on the shared bed, while Xu Hui and Lele occupied the simple bed.
Early the next morning, Li Huan showed up at a state-owned restaurant with a large family, giving each person a cup of soy milk, two pancakes, and a large bowl of white rice porridge.
Li Huan let Cheng Qiao eat first. He held little Cheng Li and fed him white rice porridge. The white rice porridge was filled with sugar brought by Cheng Qiao himself. After stirring it, little Cheng Li ate happily.
Then several people entered the largest department store in the area and looked at the dazzling array of products. Not only Xu Hui and Li Le were shocked, but even Li Huan opened his mouth in surprise.
"What a coincidence, I know why this place is called a department store. There must be more than a hundred kinds of goods here."
Cheng Qiao raised the corners of her mouth, waved her hand, and said, "I'll buy whatever I like. She's going to treat me today."
"oh……"
Xu Hui and Li Le both clapped their hands happily. They kept looking around with their four eyes. There were so many things, which one should they choose.
"Mom, can I buy this?"
When Xu Hui saw a military cap, his eyes couldn't help but light up. When registering, he saw a student wearing a military cap, who looked very impressive.
"Comrade, get me a suit that this boy is wearing, and this hat."
Cheng Qiao saw a small military uniform hanging nearby and asked the salesperson to take it out. The salesperson glanced at Xu Hui, took out a slightly larger military uniform, and handed it to Cheng Qiao.
"Mom, this..."
Xu Hui was shocked. He only wanted a hat, but he didn't dare ask for a military uniform. Even though he was young, he already knew a lot of words. That military uniform cost more than thirty, which was too expensive.
"It's time to go to school when we get back. We have to go to class energetically, okay?"
After listening to Cheng Qiao's words, Xu Hui lowered his head and tried it on obediently, but his eyes filled with tears. It felt so good to have a mother.
Next, Li Le's, Xiao Cheng Li's, Li Huan's, Li's mother's, Ye Jun's, and Cheng Liguo's clothes were all bought. Everyone looked at Cheng Qiao, because she was the only one who didn't have any.
purchase.
Cheng Qiao actually didn't really want to buy clothes. She had enough clothes, but she could only wear these two sets. It would be a waste to buy too many, but she couldn't stand the looks of the three people, so even little Cheng Li joined in.
Li Huan took the initiative and bought a beige cashmere coat for Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao was unwilling to do so. Beige is not resistant to stains and is very expensive. Just such a coat costs 120 yuan, which is worth the price of a car.
Bicycle.
But Li Huan, Lele and Xu Hui all said that Cheng Qiao looked good in it. Even the salesperson felt that this dress belonged to Cheng Qiao. Her snow-white face and wandering eyes were a perfect match for this coat.
Li Huan directly took out the money from his pocket and handed it over. He knew that his family had money, not to mention one hundred and twenty yuan, but even twelve thousand yuan.
Several people returned home with large and small bags, which made the waiter at the guest house almost drop his eyes to the ground. Cheng Qiao smiled and stretched out his hand, with a few White Rabbit toffee in his palm.
"For me?"
"Thank you."
Yesterday, Cheng Qiao asked for a rag and broom to clean the house. The waiter was not impatient at all and was very enthusiastic to help her get the tools, so it was appropriate to give her a few candies to express her gratitude.
"We have to stay one night tonight and catch the early train back tomorrow."
Cheng Qiao took out another four yuan, two yuan for rent and two yuan for two beds.
"Two yuan is enough. The simple bed is rented for one yuan once, not one yuan per night."
Cheng Qiao marveled at the waiter's honesty and took out two more pastries and handed them to her. The waiter blushed with embarrassment, but still couldn't resist the temptation of the pastries and accepted them awkwardly.
After coaxing little Cheng Li and others to take a nap, Cheng Qiao asked Li Huan to help look after it. He wanted to go to the grocery store in his previous life and see if he could buy the land.
