After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 131 Taking a Bath

After eating the noodles, Gu Errong asked Guan Youshuang to lie on the bed and rest for a while while he went out.

Guan Youshuang originally thought that he was just going to put the bowl away, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing him come in, she walked out.

The yard looks exceptionally quiet in the night.

The moon slowly rose, and the silvery moonlight passed through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on every corner of the yard.

A slight cool breeze blew, and the leaves around swayed gently in the wind, casting sparse shadows.

The kitchen light was on, and through the thin door curtain, you could see the flames from the stove.

Guan Youshuang walked in and saw Gu Errong sitting by the stove, making a fire.

"What are you doing?"

"Boil water."

"Is there no water in the thermos? I just boiled it when I cooked dinner tonight."

"No, I'm going to boil some water for a bath."

bath?

This is really Guan Youshuang's unspeakable secret.

There were no bathrooms in those days, so she wasn't used to it when she first came through.

Fortunately, the climate here is pretty good, not so hot, and I hardly sweat.

The Guan family didn't even have a big basin, so all she could do was wipe her body with a towel.

After she got married, Gu Errong bought her a large plastic basin. She would wash in it every now and then, but it was always uncomfortable and the water would get cold quickly.

She also thought about building a bathroom at home, but the conditions did not allow it due to the lack of water.

Many times, she just washed her butt and feet.

"You should go back to the room first. It's cold at night. Don't catch a cold."

Guan Youshuang walked over and said shyly, "I'm not cold, I just want to stay with you."

"Come on then." Gu Errong pulled her arm, pulled her into his arms, and let her sit on his lap.

He hugged her tightly from behind and said, "You won't be cold this way."

The night is eerily quiet.

Gu Errong stuffed the straw and buried his head in Guan Youshuang's neck.

Guan Youshuang closed her eyes, feeling the sweetness of the moment.

Steam came out from around the lid and the water was boiling.

Guan Youshuang stood up and said, "I'll get you the basin."

Gu Errong smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see something."

He naturally took Guan Youshuang's hand and led her to the gate.

Then he opened the trunk of the car and took out a large bucket.

Then, with the watery moonlight, Guan Youshuang could see clearly that it was a large wooden barrel.

But this big wooden barrel is a bit special. Its bottom is not round, but a very long oval.

It should be a bath tub in the true sense.

"I wanted to buy it for you before, but I never got it." Gu Errong said, holding the bucket, "This can keep warm. You won't feel cold when you take a bath in it in the future."

Guan Youshuang’s first reaction was, it’s so big, how much water does it need!

They now have to fetch water from springs far away for their home use.

In the past, it was Gu Yunliang who basically carried water. Since he injured his waist, Wang Huiying took over this job.

In order to fetch clean water, she went out with a bucket at dawn.

The family also prepared a large water tank that can hold seven or eight buckets of water.

Generally, I go to fetch water once every three to five days.

Before, Guan Youshuang also said that she would go to pick it, but Wang Huiying was still worried, saying that the road near the spring was slippery and difficult to walk on. She was used to walking there, so she went instead.

Gu Errong seemed to see her concerns and said, "Don't worry about the water. I have already contacted a well digger and he will come to our doorstep to dig a well tomorrow."

"Dig a well?"

Guan Youshuang became excited. She had seen that kind of windlass well in TV dramas of the period before. It felt very exciting to pump water by turning the handle.

An old song by Wei Wei came to her mind. There were two lines in the song: Women are not water, men are not vats, and destiny is not the windlass that ties the rope around themselves.

"Is it a windlass?"

Gu Errong poured water into the bucket and nodded, saying, "Yes, that kind is safer. The well digger is a veteran from Henan, with very good skills. He has been out of town for the past two months, and just came to our place two days ago, and I got in touch with him."

"Can this kind of thing be dealt with just by saying so? How do you know there is water underground at the door?"

“He got tested last time he came to our village, but he didn’t have the money at the time, so it was delayed.”

Gu Errong poured some water and tried it. It was very heavy.

If I had known this, I would have put the bucket in the house and added water slowly.

Guan Youshuang smiled secretly and said, "If I do something that damages your dignity as a man, will you be angry?"

Gu Errong was stunned: "What?"

Guan Youshuang was wearing very loose pajamas. She rolled up her sleeves, bent down, and picked up the bath tub.

Gu Errong was not stunned.

He had seen a similar scene a long time ago.

His powerful beauty is so heroic!

He turned off the kitchen light, closed the door, and followed.

Gu Errong took the towel, and Guan Youshuang was troubled by the big bucket of water.

She couldn't take a shower in front of Gu Errong.

Gu Errong tested the water temperature and said, "Just right, take off your clothes quickly."

"how about you?"

"Let me help you wash it."

Guan Youshuang's heart skipped a beat. "Ah? You, you help me wash it?"

"I'll help you wash first, and then you can help me wash."

Guan Youshuang's heart was pounding, but she was still reserved: "This, is not good."

Gu Errong threw down the towel and said, "Since you won't do it, I'll take it off for you."

"No, no, no, I'll do it myself, just turn your face away."

Gu Errong looked at her with amusement and said, "Tell me, where have you come from that I haven't seen before?"

Guan Youshuang blushed: "How can it be the same?"

What she wanted to say was, can the time when you are infatuated be the same as the time when you are sober?

Gu Errong nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll turn around then."

As soon as Gu Errong turned around, Guan Youshuang gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and unbuttoned her clothes in no time.

She was not wearing any underwear after finishing the job just now. She quickly took off her pajamas and plopped into the bucket.

It is so fast that it can participate in a 100-meter race.

I have to say, taking a bath in this big barrel is really comfortable.

Gu Errong walked over with a smile, gently helped her untie her hair tie, and said, "Wash your hair while you're at it."

He was really gentle and he even gently combed her hair before washing it.

Guan Youshuang has always had a problem with hair loss, but fortunately she has a surprising amount of hair, otherwise she would have become bald long ago.

Gu Errong gently took the hair off the comb and said, "I'll buy you some anti-hair loss shampoo this time when I go upstairs."

"No, that's all lies."

Gu Errong applied some shampoo to his hair and massaged it, saying, "What should we do? We can't just let them fall like this."

"When they fall out, buy me a wig. Buy me a few wigs with different hairstyles. I can change them every day. And it will be very convenient to wash my hair. I can wash my head when I wash my face every day. How fun."

As she spoke, Guan Youshuang couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Errong didn't smile, he looked worried.
