The two men had their arms around each other's shoulders, both wearing roguish grins.
Xu Damao is 17 years old this year, and Yan Jiefang is a few years younger than him.
The two of them spent every day together.
After graduating from junior high school, Xu Damao was dissatisfied with the job assigned by the school.
The Xu family is now pulling strings everywhere, trying to get him a job at the steel rolling mill.
I know that He Hongyang works at the steel rolling mill.
They were extremely polite to him.
"Brother He, are you reading the newspaper?"
When Jia Zhangshi saw this, she noticed that he greeted He Hongyang but not her.
She is, after all, an elder.
Do the Xu family members have any manners? Do they know how to educate their children?
He made a veiled insult, saying, "Our family only has Dongxu as our son, and your Xu family only has you as your son. Dongxu started working at 16, while you're already 17 and still just lounging around at home all day."
“Such a big young man, wandering around all day, be careful he doesn’t get mistaken for a vagrant and arrested.”
“Look at me, I’m so old and I still go to work. You should learn from your Aunt Jia.”
What did Xu Damao do to deserve this?
"Isn't this the way I'm going? I got scolded for no reason."
He hasn't found a job yet, but he's not living off her family.
What right does she have to talk about herself?!
Then I heard Yan Jiefang whisper a few words in my ear.
He overheard his parents talking about Jia Zhangshi at home.
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was so happy that snot bubbles almost popped out of his nose!
No wonder she went to work at a bathhouse; I never knew she had this kind of ambition!
Watch as Jia Zhangshi went out to find Qin Huairu.
He snorted at her retreating figure: "She's just a lowly temporary worker, what's she showing off for? Once I find a job, I'll go to the public bathhouse too."
Yan Jiefang quickly pulled him aside: "When you go to wash, can you take me with you?"
"No problem, we'll definitely show this old man a piece of our minds when we get there."
Wang Liying also felt that what Jia Zhangshi said went too far.
Whether someone has a job or not is none of her business.
I thought that after she started working at the bathhouse, she would be so tired that she wouldn't have the time or inclination to deal with these trivial matters in the yard.
Unexpectedly, she became incredibly energetic!
Not only do they go to work on time every day, but when they come home, they still chatter endlessly about this and that.
And now when I speak, my voice is much louder than before.
It was as if she wasn't earning 15 yuan, but 51 yuan, from this job.
She strained so much that her voice broke!
“Brother Hongyang, she’s such a busybody, always wanting to meddle in other people’s business.”
"If she gets too cocky, she'll probably be fired in a few days."
"You mean the bathhouse won't want to hire her because she's too old?"
"Her age is one thing, but the main problem is that she's always stealing things. She'll steal a pack of matches one day and a cigarette the next, thinking it's a good thing. She'll even come back and tell everyone how smug she is. If the people at the bathhouse find out, they'll never let her off the hook."
However, a catalyst is still needed.
If Jia Zhongzhuan Zhang does something shameless again...
I definitely won't stay in this place for long.
Since she's so smug.
Why don't you add some ingredients for her?
He beckoned to Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang and said, "You two come here."
He pulled two bath tickets out of his pocket: "You haven't been to a bathhouse before, have you? Here, take these and soak in them. They'll be absolutely wonderful."
I never expected that my wish would come true.
I was just thinking that now that I have a job, I can buy a bath ticket and enjoy myself.
Unexpectedly, He Hongyang delivered it to them now.
Yan Jiefang tried to grab him.
Being greedy for small gains is a family tradition.
I can't let the bath tickets slip away so easily now that they're almost in my hands.
Xu Damao slapped his hand: "A bath ticket costs more than ten cents. Brother He has so many people in his family, don't you even ask if they need it?"
He Hongyang waved his hand: "This was issued by the factory. The factory issues these every month. I don't need it this month, so you can take it."
Yan Jiefang grabbed it and said happily, "Did you hear that? Brother He said he wouldn't need it this month, so he gave it to us."
Xu Damao was also very happy.
He had never been to a public bathhouse before in his entire life.
In the past, during the summer, I would often get together with a few classmates to go swimming in the moat.
They also go swimming in it.
But now I'm all grown up.
He felt embarrassed to go swimming like that again.
So I really long to get a bath ticket so I can see for myself what it's like to take a bath and what it's like to have my back scrubbed.
"You're going to the place where Jia Zhangshi works. I've heard that she likes to steal things. Make sure to lock the cabinets properly, so she doesn't get any."
Upon hearing what He Hongyang said...
The two looked at each other.
snort!
Let her say those things about herself.
If they can grab her wrist then, Jia Zhangshi certainly won't dare to be so arrogant.
He said happily, "Thank you, Brother He. We'll go tonight."
Watch their backs as they leave.
He Hongyang almost burst out laughing.
Don't let Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang's young age fool you.
But he's full of tricks and schemes.
Don't underestimate them just because they're not very capable.
But if you offend them, they will find a way to retaliate within a day.
At this age. (Transfer)
It's a time when people are very concerned about saving face!
Jia Zhangshi spoke so recklessly, as if she thought she was disciplining them on behalf of her hometown.
Little did he know that he had already offended these two young men. (Seven)
"Just wait, there's going to be a good show tonight!"
"Brother Hongyang, I'll hurry and cook you some food. Let's eat early tonight so we can watch the show sooner!"
She thought He Hongyang wanted to listen to opera on the radio with her.
I wonder if another grand opera is about to be performed in the courtyard house.
[Wang Liying obeyed, and her luck score increased by 100!]
Wang Liying is becoming more and more sensible.
She's 23 now, the prime of her life. (Nine)
Under his guidance, the child not only became more sensible but also increasingly proactive.
Just finished a meal.
Jia Zhangshi hurriedly went to work.
at the same time.
Xu Damao also came to the bathhouse.
He had assumed that this place was only frequented in winter.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few people here now.
There are people offering bathing services, back scrubbing services, and pedicure services.
There were even people drinking water from teacups inside.
It's truly a rare and wonderful place to relax.
Here, no one is bound by any constraints.
After a long day of work, I can take a nice soak in the tub and then take a shower.
Wash away all the sweat and fatigue of the day.
Even when I'm tired, I don't feel tired!
Go home and get a good night's sleep.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed and ready to go to work.
This is what they consider to be (Wang Ma Zhao's) best day!
Most of the people who come to take a bath are those who received bath tickets from their workplaces.
Places that could afford to issue bath tickets were either state-owned enterprises like steel rolling mills, or sought-after establishments like Wang Liying's grocery store or grain store.
Unemployed youths like Xu Damao have every opportunity to come.
He's going to have a really good, thorough bath today!
Soaking and washing were both involved.
After they finished washing.
Everyone in the bathhouse had left.
Yan Jiefang said happily, "I really didn't expect that taking a bath in a public bathhouse would be so comfortable. Not only is it comfortable, but it's also very warm. I wish we could stay here tonight."
There are six people in their family.
The house is now filled with bunk beds; people are practically piled on top of each other.
It's time to go to sleep at night.
The whole room was filled with snoring, teeth grinding, and sleep talking.
If it weren't for the cool nights outside, he would have loved to sleep in the yard.
Xu Damao didn't want to go home either.
As soon as he got home, his father, Xu Fugui, would start nagging.
Who did he meet today, what did he give as a gift, and how far has his work progressed?
When I get a job in the future, I must work hard, because finding a job these days is just too difficult.
