In the afternoon, Ma Xiaojuan came to Su Mo and invited her to go to the bathhouse with her.
"Su Mo, I heard that the commune's bathhouse is open. Let's go take a shower while there are few people and it's clean." Ma Xiaojuan shouted as soon as she came in, "Hey, why is it so warm in your room?"
"I burned the wall of fire." Su Mo said.
"You're setting fire to the wall before it snows? The winter here is long, and the snow won't melt until the end of March or early April. Don't run out of firewood by then."
Su Mo curled her lips: "I'm from the south and I'm afraid of the cold."
The main reason is that there is a lot of firewood, most of the hut is filled up, and she still has a lot of space, so she can feel more comfortable, so why not.
"Yes. We have collected a lot of firewood this year. If you don't have enough firewood, I will lend you some." Ma Xiaojuan has gradually adapted to the life here, so she is really not lazy when collecting firewood.
"By the way, are you going to the bathhouse?"
"Go, just wait for me while I clean up."
Now that the weather is cold, it is really inconvenient to take a bath at home. It just so happens that she has never been to a bathhouse, so she should go and experience it.
Su Mo organized the manuscripts she wrote during this period, then put them into different envelopes and sent them to different newspapers. She even submitted them to a magazine, which was a bit like casting a wide net.
I took the letter I wanted to send, the pick-up coupon and the remittance slip, packed the towels, soap, and a change of clothes, and I was ready to go.
Ma Xiaojuan was a little envious when she saw that Su Mo had received so many manuscripts: "Su Mo, are you going to submit another manuscript now? You are famous in the team now."
Su Mo was a little funny: "Why are you famous?"
"You are a talented girl who can make money. She can make money by herself, and her parents will send money to her. They say that if Lu Changzheng marries you, I'm afraid the ancestral graves will be filled with smoke."
"So exaggerated?" Su Mo laughed out loud. "Speaking of my mother's family sending money, your family also sends a lot."
She remembered that when she went to get the letter two days ago, Ma Xiaojuan also received a remittance of 30 yuan.
"Hahaha, that's right. We are now considered to be the most popular figures in the team, and many aunts have very good attitudes towards me. They are not as unwelcome as they were during the autumn harvest."
Su Mo's eyes flashed, thinking of the scandalous things she had read in the book, and reminded her half-jokingly: "Then you have to be careful. If someone asks you to go to her house, don't go. Be careful of someone trying to make money."
It is inevitable that some people will be greedy for money and have evil intentions, and plan to cook the rice before it is raw. Ma Xiaojuan's life will probably be ruined.
Ma Xiaojuan waved her hand, "Don't worry, I know, I'm not stupid."
The two rode Su Mo's car, and Ma Xiaojuan carried Su Mo on his back.
There was a strong cold wind today, and the two of them rode to the commune shivering like quails.
The two went to the post office to mail the letter first, and then received the remittance.
Su Mo gave the provincial newspaper coupon to the post office staff and filled in the address. The other party said that they would arrange to send it to her in the next issue.
Seeing Su Mo withdraw another 100 yuan, Ma Xiaojuan clicked her tongue and said, "Your family really loves you for sending so much money."
"It wasn't remitted from my family, it was a friend of my father who owed my family money and he came to pay me back." Su Mo said calmly.
"Hey! This is a good excuse to collect debts. My children have gone to the countryside and I need money to spend." Ma Xiaojuan finished her brainstorming.
After coming out of the post office, the two of them headed to the bathhouse. It was too cold blowing all the way and they needed hot water to warm them up.
The commune's bathhouse is also the collective property of the commune. It is only open in winter. Members of the commune do not need to pay a ticket to bathe. They charge 20 cents a time.
The bathhouse is also very simple. There are no showers, pedicures, and scrubs like in later generations. It is divided into two large rooms for men and women. There is a large pool filled with hot water and a wooden cabinet with rows of things next to it.
The two paid money, and since they both had a lot of money, they rented a locked cabinet for a dime.
There are also peanuts, chestnuts and pine nuts sold in small plates in the lobby. The portions are not large and cost a dime each.
Ma Xiaojuan saw that the peanuts looked good, so she bought one and planned to eat them while taking a bath later. Su Mo didn't have the habit of taking a bath or eating, so she didn't buy it.
The two of them carried their things into the bathhouse. There were not many people inside, probably less than ten people, and they were all soaking in various corners of the pool.
It was warm inside, so Ma Xiaojuan walked to the cabinet, quickly took off her clothes, stuffed the clothes into the cabinet, locked it, took the towel and soap, and prepared to soak in the pool.
Seeing that Su Mo was still standing there without taking off her clothes, she covered her mouth and snickered: "Don't be shy, everyone is the same. If you are really ashamed, just use a towel to cover it up. When you get into the water, no one will look at you."
Seeing that Ma Xiaojuan was already in the water, Su Mo prepared herself mentally, gritted her teeth, quickly took off her clothes and locked the cabinet. Then he covered his chest, held a towel to cover his lower body, and prepared to go into the pool.
As a result, when she turned around, she found that everyone was staring at her with burning eyes, and she immediately squatted down in shame.
An eldest sister immediately laughed out loud, "Sister, don't be shy. Auntie just looks at your body, you are fair and tender, and you look rare."
Su Mo has fair skin, and she uses super powers every day to maintain her skin. Her skin is really delicate and fair without any blemishes. It is not an exaggeration to say that her skin is like cream.
Normally I don't feel that much when I'm wearing clothes, but now that I'm completely naked, it's really white and glowing. In front of a group of people with rough and dark skin, it is not like a spotlight, attracting attention.
Su Mo laughed awkwardly, then stood up to block it, and quickly got into the water.
The eldest sister smiled again and moved over, "Sister, are you an educated youth from the south?"
Su Mo nodded.
"No wonder. We northerners have to walk with our heads held high when we are like you. This is something no one else can ask for."
Su Mo smiled awkwardly but politely. She couldn't comment on the differences between the north and the south.
Both the original owner and her are southerners. It still takes courage to strip naked in front of others, and I can't get over that hurdle in my heart.
"Is the eldest sister married?" the eldest sister asked again.
"Married." Su Mo nodded, not wanting to say more to strangers.
"You just got married, right? Your man is really lucky." The eldest sister smiled. Only the little daughter-in-law is so shy. She wants to touch her white skin just by looking at it, let alone a man.
Su Mo smiled awkwardly and moved to the other side with Ma Xiaojuan. Fortunately, the elder sister was sensible and didn't follow her again.
"Su Mo, your skin is so nice and your hands are so slippery." Ma Xiaojuan reached out and touched it. She originally wanted to rub Su Mo's back, but now that it looked so tender, she didn't dare.
Su Mo chuckled. What a mistake. She had known better that she would not come to the bathhouse.
Su Mo soaped herself up and started cleaning.
After washing for a while, several more people came in. Su Mo looked up and saw Lu Xiaolan and Li Yuee.
Su Mo's eyes almost popped out of the window.
