Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Wangcai didn't know why the uncles in the courtyard came to visit grandma collectively. They said it was a social interaction, but he didn't believe it because he knew his father had no connections in this regard.

He could roughly guess the reason why the miser Yan Bugui took the fruit to the hospital. It must be because of the catch from fishing. But even so, he felt that Yan Bugui had done a great job this time.

As for Xu Fugui and his son, Zeng Wangcai couldn't guess their purpose. He could only guess one direction, which might be related to the fact that he saw Xu Fugui at the gate of the compound.

There is no need to guess Yi Zhonghai's motives; his coming here is normal behavior.

Zeng Wangcai was not worried about how his father would handle their visits. His father had been dealing with them for longer than he had and would not handle it improperly.

When we returned to the courtyard, every household was having dinner. As the weather was getting cooler, fewer people were eating outside.

Zhang Xiuzhi had already boiled two thermoses of water and was waiting for Zeng Wangcai and the others to come back.

"Xiuzhi, go wash yourself. Don't worry about us. After you're done, let's go back to the hospital together." Zeng Wangcai took out two metal buckets from the house and said, "Leave them to me. Do you have any more soap?"

It is relatively convenient to take a bath when the weather is not cold. Women can sit in a large basin in the house to take a bath. Men who are more particular will also go inside to take a bath. However, many people just rinse themselves outside in their shorts and carry a bucket of water. If you want to take a comfortable bath in cold weather, you have to go to a bathhouse, which costs money.

Zeng Wangcai planned to take a shower outside and use soap to get rid of the smell on his body.

Because the courtyard house was different from the countryside, soap was too conspicuous, so he gave it to his mother to keep and did not allow his two younger brothers to use it.

"No more!" Zhang Xiuzhi replied, carrying the thermos to Zeng Wangcai's room.

"You two go get some cold water first, and wash when I come back!" Zeng Wangcai instructed his two younger brothers, and then went into the house. At this time, Zhang Xiuzhi untied her braids, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall.

Normally, Zhang Xiuzhi would casually tie her hair up behind her head, with her long hair folded in half into a short, thick ponytail.

"Do you want to wash your hair?" Zeng Wangcai admired Zhang Xiuzhi's beautiful hair.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiuzhi nodded, "Her hair is too long. I'll sell it when grandma gets better. It's troublesome to wash her hair, and it's a waste."

The so-called waste does not mean wasting shampoo. At that time, even the old domestic brand Fenghua had not been born. Now there is shampoo powder, which is produced in Sijiucheng, Phoenix brand shampoo powder.

Nowadays, when gay men wash their hair, they usually use soap directly. As the saying goes, one piece of soap washes from head to toe, and one towel wipes from top to bottom.

However, there are also high-end hair products, called shampoo. The most luxurious and famous one is the Butterfly shampoo produced by Shanghai Family Industrial Society.

If a girl has a bottle of this shampoo, she will definitely be stunning when she goes out.

There is no Butterfly brand shampoo in Zeng Wangcai’s space, but he has the old domestic product Bee Flower.

"Don't cut your hair, it's so nice to have long hair!" Zeng Wangcai took out a piece of soap without its packaging, and then took out a bottle of Bee Flower shampoo. He tore off all the plastic film of the Bee Flower trademark, leaving only the bottle. He laughed and said, "Use this shampoo to wash your hair. It will smell nice after washing."

Zhang Xiuzhi raised her head and said nothing, but it was obvious that she really liked what Zeng Wangcai took out this time.

That girl doesn’t like beauty?

It’s a pity that nowadays, a bottle of shampoo is a luxury!

Seeing that Zhang Xiuzhi accepted the shampoo, Zeng Wangcai happily emptied a teacup and poured some shampoo into it.

To be honest, he really is not used to washing his hair with soap. It’s not that he thinks it’s unhealthy, he just isn’t used to it.

Coming out of the house and back to the front yard, Zeng Wangcai saw that his two younger brothers had already sat down obediently on small stools, each wearing a pair of large shorts.

It just so happened that Zeng Wangcai's family had enough iron buckets for each of the three brothers.

"Laifu, stand up!" Zeng Wangcai tested the water temperature, called on the third child to stand up, picked up the bucket and poured half a bucket of water in one breath, wanting to wet the third child's body, and then let him wash himself.

But unexpectedly, the third brother's shorts were not stable and were washed under his feet.

"Hahaha, Wangcai, take it easy..." While Wangcai wasn't paying attention, Yan Jiecheng's voice came from behind.

Lai Fu quickly bent down and pulled up his shorts to cover his little bird, then looked up at Yan Jiecheng who was laughing at him.

Zeng Wangcai turned around and saw Yan Jiecheng, who was dressed well, with two girls. Yes, two girls, one in her twenties and the other seventeen or eighteen years old. The two girls looked quite similar and looked decent.

"It's not even dark yet, why are you taking a bath? Let me introduce you to someone!" Yan Jiecheng couldn't hide the pride in his eyes at all. "This is my girlfriend, Yu Li, and this is Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang. If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Haitang will soon become a member of the steel mill."

It turned out to be Yu Li's sister. It seemed that Yan Bugui had finally arranged this marriage, and Naitang must have contributed to it.

But the same thing goes, since he sold it for five dollars plus the sugar ticket, Zeng Wangcai didn't feel like he was losing out.

After a few pleasantries, Yan Jiecheng led the people into the house.

Zeng Wangcai saw the lingering contempt in the eyes of Yu Haitang, who was about the same age as him. He guessed that Yu Haitang probably looked down on the simple way he took a bath outside.

Never mind, this girl is also a person who always wants better things, she likes petty bourgeoisie and money.

He remembered that Yu Haitang dumped her boyfriend Yang Weimin and later lived in the courtyard. At first, she was attracted by Sha Zhu's conditions, mainly because Sha Zhu had many houses. Later, she got involved with Da Mao, drank red wine together at night, and kicked Sha Zhu, who was aroused by her.

It's none of your business. Don't care what she thinks. Just live your own life. She is not your woman.

"When you take a bath, you need to use soap, and wash your hair from head to toe, okay?" Zeng Wangcai warned his two younger brothers who never took more than three minutes to bathe. Finally, he pointed at the teacup and said, "It's best to use this to wash your hair. Apply it on your head and rub it for a while after bubbles form. You can't have any bad smell on your body, okay?"

"Oh!"

Xiao Qiang Lai Fu agreed dejectedly, and then took a bath obediently. No soap was used here, as boys didn't need to be so particular.

After washing their bodies, the three brothers each scooped up a handful of shampoo to wash their hair.

The next second, the pleasant scent of shampoo filled the air.

"Hey, brother, this smells so good, it's different from shampoo powder." Xiao Qiang liked the scent very much.

Lai Fu sniffed it and asked innocently, "Brother, can I eat this?"

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. If you can't eat, wash it quickly!" Zeng Wangcai was speechless. All he talked about was eating, endlessly.

By the way, my brother hasn’t eaten yet. I’ll prepare a bowl of noodles for each of them later.

Zeng Wangcai planned to make do with some instant noodles later. Anyway, there was no packaging and his brother couldn’t say anything.

At this time, Lai Fu did not give up, and secretly stuck out his tongue to lick the bubbles on his hands.

"Puh..." Lai Fu spat a few times, thinking to himself why the fragrant things taste bitter, and the smelly things taste fragrant.

After more than ten minutes, the three brothers finished washing and went back to the house wet. They dried their bodies and changed into clean clothes. After a while, Zhang Xiuzhi also finished washing, with her long hair still wet.

As she came out, the rich scent of shampoo exploded, because her hair was long and thick.

At this time, Yu Li and her sister, as well as Yan Jiecheng, had just finished their talk and were about to send them home. The three of them happened to meet Zhang Xiuzhi.

Yan Jiecheng saw Zhang Xiuzhi and greeted her again, showing off his partner and introducing him to her.

But Yu Haitang was instantly attracted by the fragrance. She usually used shampoo powder, so she stared at Zhang Xiuzhi's hair and asked, "What do you use to wash your hair?"

"Shampoo..."
