My mood is different, and everything I look at seems pleasing to the eye.

The mother and son were talking and looking around happily, not caring about the scorching sun at noon.

The two of them walked around an alley on the east side to the street. Across the street from this alley is the west wall of the cinema, which is where Huang Han has been selling tea eggs for the past two months.

Huang Han saw a bathhouse called "Ganquanchi" in the long alley opposite the cinema.

The entrance to the bathhouse is relatively spacious, and dozens of bicycles have been parked. Each bicycle has a number plate clamped in front of the handlebar.

There was an old man charging money to take care of the bicycles. It seemed like he was charging one penny per car.

Under normal circumstances, people who ride bicycles to take a shower really don’t dare to save a cent or two on storing their bicycles.

Because during this period, the highest crime rate is bicycle theft.

Another reason is that if the car watcher sees you not giving money, he will not dare to steal the car, but he may hide your car.

At this time, a permanent brand 28-type bicycle not only required industrial coupons, but also cost a few hundred and eighty-seven yuan.

He is one of the most important people in the family. Suddenly finding that his bicycle is missing can really scare people to death!

The pace of life at this time was very slow. The old car watcher was shirtless, swinging a cattail leaf fan, sitting on a stool, drinking water, and humming, looking leisurely and contented.

There was a middle-aged man pressing sugar cane juice at the door of the bathroom. Of course there was no juicer at this time, but something like a bench with a copper plate at one end and densely packed with small holes.

A unique "buzzing..." sound came from the open window of the bathroom, and from time to time someone shouted "selling candied haws"...

All this made Huang Han feel more intimate.

In later generations, he did not like to take a bath at home. Instead, he liked to go to the bathhouse, and even coded in the rest area of ​​the bathhouse. Sometimes an afternoon passed without realizing it.

When you are tired, you can take a dip in the pool and pay 20 yuan for a foot massage, or a shoulder rub and cervical spine massage. It is really refreshing.

Book friends, don’t get me wrong, this kind of pub is a very popular one and is not pornographic at all.

It is impossible for anyone of the opposite sex to be in the men's bathing area, and even the proprietress in the bathroom cannot enter. Of course, there is no possibility of sex trade.

"Ganquanchi" is currently the best and largest bathhouse in Sanshui County.

Unlike later generations where all bathrooms were privately owned, there was no private bathroom at this time.

"Ganquanchi" is affiliated to a beverage and service company, and its superior unit is the Commercial Bureau. Business is so good that the waiters are asking for money like 25,800,000 yuan.

One of the characteristics of this era is that workplaces issue bathing tickets. As long as they are issued by all workplaces, it doesn’t matter how much they are. Huang Daozhou can get eight bathing tickets every month.

It is also because bathing is a welfare for socialist employees, and families as poor as Huang Daozhou are not willing to go to bathhouses to bathe.

It's just that the memory of taking a bath before 1981 was too bad. For Huang Han, it wasn't enjoyment at all but suffering.

At that time, there were many people with bathing tickets, but there were only three or four bathhouses on the street. Every bathhouse was full every day, and sometimes I couldn't find a seat after waiting for half an hour.

Most of the waiters in the bathroom are regular employees of the catering company. How do they have any sense of service? Not only do they shout around and drink without taking the customers seriously, they also help acquaintances and connections to jump in the queue and grab seats.

So there was never a day without quarrels in the bathhouse. When Huang Han was a child, he often saw a few naked people jumping around and scolding their mothers, with their things swinging...

After finally finding a place, I took off my clothes and went into the pool, only to find that the pool was full of people. I could only stretch out my arms and dip a towel in the water to take a bath. Often the water would turn white and look like milk.

This is obviously sewage! But the old bather happily said, "Bathing in this water can nourish people!"

Huang Han sometimes really doesn't understand how people at that time could be so ignorant!

That water is obviously a mixture of soapy water, urine, nasal mucus, and human body dirt. Where does "nurturing people" start?

At this time, Huang Han was thinking that if he got the house on West Street, he could go to the "sweet spring pool" to take a bath after lunch in winter.

The bathhouses in Sanshui County always open at twelve o'clock. At that time, there is a wooden sign on the door that says "Open Soup".

As soon as the door was opened, Huang Han went to take a bath. The water must be very clear.

In fact, the bathhouse has told the truth, and the sign they put up is "Open Soup."

The implication is that bath water is "soup". Since it is "soup", it should have ingredients. It is natural that it contains urine, nasal mucus, and dirt. What's so strange about it looking like milk?

Ha ha……

Zhang Fangfen took Huang Han's hand and turned to the south side of the house he was interested in. Huang Han found that Huang Daozhou, who had also turned back, took out a steel ring ruler from his jacket pocket.

He immediately ran forward and flattered me and said, "Dad is wise."

Then he helped pull the steel tape measure. This steel ring ruler was only two meters long and was the length of a briquette.

Because Huang Daozhou needs to calculate the wood in the factory and measure the height of the new courtyard wall built by the bricklayers, this tool is indispensable. If it is old or rusty, it can be replaced with a new one.

After measurement, the total length of the house facing the street is 11 meters and 30 centimeters, and the distance between the north and south is measured. The width of the house and the yard is 9 meters and 50 centimeters, which is also not connected to the "drip".

What does "drip water" mean?

It can be understood that for your own house, the water flowing from the roof to the ground on rainy days should not drip onto the neighbor's land. Therefore, the outside circle of the private house should actually be the owner's land.

However, no one admitted during the demolition that the walls were measured, and the land under the eaves was definitely not counted as the construction area.

Huang Daozhou calculated that the house and yard covered an area of ​​more than one hundred square meters, and the construction area of ​​three rooms and one kitchen was close to sixty square meters.

The three people were wandering around the front and back of the house, measuring with steel rulers, which had already alarmed the owner. Seeing that Huang Daozhou was so serious, they knew there was something going on and did not come forward to disturb him.

This family also has the surname Huang, and their ancestors were also small business owners with a bad background. They wanted to sell their house and buy two houses in the provincial capital, and live there in the future.

Because his two daughters were married to provincial capitals. They both graduated from technical secondary schools and worked in jobs assigned by the state, with good wages and benefits.

They originally had a son who was the eldest son of the family, but he died ten years ago for unknown reasons.

The Huang family are retired. They have been decentralized to work for more than ten years and have fallen ill. They are in great need of care.

In later generations, it would take more than two hours to go to the provincial capital, but now the transportation is extremely inconvenient. If you are unlucky, you have to take the bus for a whole day.

Both daughters have to go to work, and there are no weekends off at this time, so there is no way to come to Sanshui County to take care of their parents.

The two of them also helped their parents look at two houses in the provincial capital. Although it was only less than 35 square meters, it was enough for the elderly couple to live in. They had already negotiated the price with others, which was also 900 yuan.

Huang Han listened silently to the old couple's explanation of the reasons for selling the house, and felt wonderful after hearing this.

After the old couple sold their house facing the street in Sanshui County, they immediately bought a house in the provincial capital, not far from Xinjiekou.

Huang Han knew that it was in the center of the provincial capital, and Huang Han wanted to buy it if possible.

As long as the old couple does not sell the house they bought prematurely, they can completely demolish the house and exchange it for a two-bedroom apartment in the second ring road.

Houses in provincial capitals are expensive. Although they are not as expensive as those in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, they are also the vanguard among second-tier cities, and are about the same price as Hangzhou.
