After sharing the sweets and having fun with the employees for a while, Chu Heng and his wife returned to the back room.
After arriving at the office, Chu Heng couldn't wait to throw the work notes left by the old man Lian and his own work notes that didn't contain much writing but had a lot of cartoon patterns on them to his wife.
He also warned nonchalantly: "Don't lose these things, especially the old man's book. It is simply a work guide. If you have any difficult questions, you can definitely find the answers here. Please understand." Yes, Director Ni?"
"whee!"
This call of director made Miss Ni feel elated, especially when she thought that her salary would increase by several yuan, she felt even more happy, and her little face became rosy.
But soon, Xiao Ni stopped laughing.
She held the two notebooks, thinking that she was about to take the lead, holding two bags of thousands of people in the entire street, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
The girl glanced at her notes for a few times, her brows slowly furrowed, she raised her head to look at her husband across from her worriedly, and said with a sad face: "Chu Heng, do you think I can be a good director? I am in charge of so many people's food bags. If something goes wrong, shouldn't we be scolded to death?"
Chu Heng walked forward funny, hugged his wife from behind, and said softly in a casual tone: "It's just a little thing, what's wrong with it? And there are some mainstays like Aunt Sun in the store. , what could happen? You see, I wander around the streets every day and don’t care about anything, so haven’t there been any troubles?”
"Are you still embarrassed to say that?" Ni Yinghong looked sideways at him, wrinkled her little nose, and bowed her body in dissatisfaction: "Those things will all fall on me in the end!"
"Hey! Don't make trouble, Aunt Han will be here soon."
Chu Heng's expression changed, he quickly let go of his wife, and instead blocked her shoulders from the side, and then continued to comfort him: "Look, you said it yourself, you have done all the work for me, it's not long ago You've adapted in advance, what else do you have to worry about?"
"That's what I said, but without you by my side, I don't know what to do." Ni Yinghong leaned against him lovingly and rested her head on his chest.
"What's so pointless about this? I'm still supporting you, man? Just do your thing with peace of mind. If anything happens, I'll take care of you!" Chu Heng smiled at his wife with a doting look on his face, and said that he was okay with her. Touched her fruit stand.
What a fruitful outcome!
Ni Yinghong raised her head and stared at the face that often appeared above her head, her eyes like a pool of spring water, rippling in circles.
In the air, a familiar atmosphere of ambiguity is brewing.
It sounds like they have been dating for a long time!
"Crack, snap, snap!"
At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor.
The two of them hurriedly separated and returned to their seats. One was sitting upright, flipping through his notes, and the other was lazily reading the newspaper, as usual.
A few moments.
Aunt Han walked in with a glowing face, and said to Xiao Ni in a voice that was always higher than others: "I've finished handing over on the other end, let's hurry up, Ying Hong."
"Okay, we two will try to get it done before get off work." Ni Yinghong stood up with a smile, preparing to get the books in the cabinet.
"You sit down, I'll do it."
There were more than a dozen books including the current accounts and the resident directory in the store. How could Chu Heng be willing to let her move it? He quickly got up and moved the books in the cabinet to the table, and then gave his seat to Han. Auntie, she packed up her bag and left the grain store.
He didn't even ride a bicycle, so he carried his bag and walked eastward along the street. When he reached the end, he turned south and came to the entrance of a bathhouse.
Didn't Yu Haitang ask him to take a bath? He always remembered this.
Chu Heng did not go directly to the bathhouse. Instead, he first found an alley and went into it. He threw everything in his bag into the warehouse, then took out towels, slippers, soap, tea, teapot and other items and stuffed them into the bag. Walking towards the bathhouse while singing a little song.
The bathhouses in Sijiucheng are divided into three categories.
The highest-end one was called "Guantang" in the early years. As the name suggests, most of the people who came here were officials or wealthy businessmen. The interior decoration is exquisite, and the facilities inside are all available, such as bathtubs, sanitation, and services are all first-class. You can also sleep, eat snacks, drink tea, play mahjong, etc. here.
But now there is no such thing. No matter how famous you are, you are here to serve the common people. You can get in with your ticket and money!
The medium-sized bathhouse is called "Buntang", which is a single-room private bath, and the guests are mostly middle- and low-level officials and other citizens or public servants.
Women often bring their children to wash the pond.
These "ponds" are equipped with lounge chairs and tea sets, and the facilities are quite complete. Compared with the superior official halls, they are somewhat similar. However, most of the guests who come here don't have much time to eat, drink and have fun here, so the entertainment atmosphere of "Puntang" is slightly inferior.
The most common bathhouse is called "sanza", also called "pond". The service targets are mainly workers at the bottom.
Most of them are located in remote streets and alleys with inconvenient transportation, and are small in scale, with simple equipment and low fees. People who come here want to take a hot bath comfortably.
The bathhouse that Chu Heng went to was originally called Hongfusheng, but now it is called Dongsheng Bathhouse. It is a relatively famous Pentang bathhouse in Sijiu City, and its various facilities are decent.
It can only be said to be a makeshift job. For Chu Suo, a bathhouse without a third floor has no soul!
After this guy wandered into the bathhouse, he was hit by a strong vaporous air, and instantly he felt his face was wet.
"Hey, Director Chu is here. Please come in quickly."
At the door of the bathhouse, an old man in his fifties came up enthusiastically and handed him a small portable basket containing a small lock with a key: "I haven't seen you in a while, what have you been busy with recently? ah?"
"Just busy." Chu Heng smiled and took the portable basket for clothes, threw a cigarette to the old man, took out his slippers from the bag, put them on, and walked inside in a familiar manner.
In fact, the bathhouse provides guests with slippers, which are wooden slippers that jingle when walking.
However, as an old bath putty, Chu Suo is also a fastidious person, so naturally he would not use those pulling boards that he didn't know whether the previous owner had athlete's foot.
Soon, Chu Heng arrived at the men's bath changing room.
The scene here is extremely spectacular. A large number of old and young men, naked and naked, gather together to drink tea, chat, and play chess. Some of them even wear a pair of underpants, but most of them are doing nothing.
Chu Heng came here often, so he was familiar with most of the bath putties there. He casually said hello to the familiar ones, then strolled to a row of small cabinets and chose an unlocked one. Throw the hand basket in and start taking off your clothes.
Chu Suo was quite skilled at taking off his clothes. In the blink of an eye, he was naked, and then he entered the bathroom with a towel and soap.
