Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Chapter 24: Drinking in the Bathhouse

Su Xingchen said this, but in his heart he had already cursed the little panda. What's the matter? He still has to give gifts like Tang Monk did when he went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures? Never mind. At worst, he would just beat him up when he saw him again.

The system skills were immediately released, and the words of the little bastard immediately filled Su Xingchen's mind, "Yoshi, system, I want to draw a lottery, you'd better do what I want this time." Su Xingchen made a naked threat.

"Ding, space upgrade obtained. System space expanded from 100 square meters to 500 square meters, breeding amount changed, host please explore on your own."

Before Su Xingchen could even feel happy, he was ejected from the system space, "Damn, why don't you slow down? Why are you in such a hurry to level up?" System: You are a fucking dog. You were the one who was in a hurry to level up at the beginning, and you are the one who is not in a hurry to level up now.

Su Xingchen couldn't sleep now. It was still early. After getting up and washing up, he practiced Xingyiquan in the yard in a single layer of clothes. After practicing a set of boxing, he felt comfortable all over. In the cold winter, Su Xingchen's body was even emitting visible heat.

Su Xingchen returned to the house and put on his clothes. He took out 10 eggs from the space and put them in the basket, preparing to fry eggs for today. His mother got up at this time. Su Xingchen saw his mother got up, took out a few eggs and said, "Mom, fry two eggs this morning. I exchanged 10 eggs with someone yesterday." Su Xingchen showed the eggs in his hand to Liu Lihua.

"Okay, give it to me, you go and take a rest." Liu Lihua said after taking the egg.

"Okay, then I'm going to take a rest." Su Xingchen said as he went into the house, looking for clothes, thinking that the bathhouse would open soon.

Soon, the aroma of eggs fried in sesame oil filled the courtyard, and the first person to be affected was Yan Bugui. "Hey, the Chenzi family has such delicious food early in the morning. Isn't this tempting?" Yan Bugui said, swallowing his saliva.

"Dad, I want to eat fried eggs too." Yan Jiedi said with a runny nose.

"What are you eating? There are no eggs at home. Just wipe your nose and drink the porridge while smelling it." Yan Bugui said after taking a sip of porridge. The other three children looked at each other. Well, it was hard to expect their father to give them an egg. But Yan Bugui closed his eyes, smelled it, and drank the porridge with a look of enjoyment.

At this time, Jia Zhang also got up early in order to eat the meat buns in the hospital in the morning. If it weren't for the buns, she could sleep until Qin Huairu called her to eat at noon. Jia Zhang smelled the smell of fried eggs in Su Xingchen's house and cursed, "Damn little beast, don't even know to bring a few eggs to my house to honor me. It's so damn good to eat so early in the morning." Su Xingchen was lucky that Jia Zhang had eaten in the hospital these two days. If she saw the fish he caught, she would probably ask him for it again.

Jia Zhang thought that if it was any later, the hospital would have run out of steamed buns, so she hurried on. Of course, one breakfast ticket only gave two meat buns, and Jia Zhang was greedy, so she couldn't give them all to Jia Dongxu, and she couldn't let her son go hungry. However, Jia Zhang couldn't bear to pay for the buns, so he bought two steamed buns, and shared one with Jia Dongxu. For lunch, she bought two more steamed buns and shared a bowl of vegetables with Jia Dongxu.

Normally, one bowl of food is definitely not enough for two people, but who made her Jia Zhang? If the person serving food doesn't fill a spoon, she will sit on the ground and make a scene. When the hospital saw that it was her, they told her to give more food to this old woman and not to make trouble for the sake of peace. They also realized that this old woman would definitely not pay the medical expenses. Once their expenses were used up, if she dared to make trouble again, they would ask the security guards to kick her out.

After breakfast, Liu Lihua went to work with the workers in the yard. Su Xingchen saw that it was almost time, so he took his underwear and went to the bathhouse.

The bathhouse is the cleanest in the morning, but there are fewer people, mostly elderly people, after all, they all have to go to work. Su Xingchen took a shower first and asked the bath master to rub him well. Then he soaked in the pool, and the feeling was simply too comfortable.

"Hey, young man, why do you come to take a bath so early in the morning? Aren't you going to work?" An old man slowly sat down in the pool and asked Su Xingchen.

"I'm not working. I'm still in school this year. It's a holiday now, so I came to take a bath in the morning." Su Xingchen glanced at the old man, closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

"How about a glass of Gaosui, young man?" After saying that, Su Xingchen only heard a slurp.

"Do you want money?" Su Xingchen didn't believe that it didn't cost money.

"Why don't you want money? It's just because you know me. Most people can't buy it even if they pay." The old man shouted, "Lao Wang, give me another Gaosui."

"Ah? How come I can't buy it even if I have money?" Su Xingchen asked puzzledly.

The old man put down the teacup, "Huh, you don't understand this, kid, before the public-private partnership, this bathhouse, even if you had money, you would get a fruit plate, and everyone had a glass of Gaosui. Now it's not the same, the bathhouse is really only for bathing, if I didn't know Lao Wang from this bathhouse, you wouldn't be able to drink this Gaosui."

"Besides, the second floor used to have guest rooms, tea rooms, and mahjong rooms. They were fully equipped. We could go upstairs to rest, sleep, eat snacks, drink tea, get a massage, get a pedicure, and take a bath to relax. Now they've all been demolished and turned into a big bathhouse. Now we can only give ourselves a bath, get a cupping jar, and at most drink a glass of boiled water."

Su Xingchen glanced at the old man, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Haha, isn't this just broken tea leaves? But after thinking about the current tea production, he was relieved. Tea leaves are hard to buy these days, and most families only drink some broken tea leaves. By next year, tea leaves will be even harder to find. Not only do you need money, you also need tickets. Without tickets, who would be willing to drink tea leaves?

"How about it? This tea is good, isn't it?" said the old man leisurely.

"Well, not bad. This can't be Zhang Yiyuan's jasmine tea." Su Xingchen flattered. How could he tell good from bad when drinking it? The main thing was that it had flavor. Drinking tea while taking a bath was quite enjoyable. But he couldn't stand the broken tea in one gulp.

"You tasted it quite accurately, it's Zhang Yiyuan. Did you drink a lot?" The old man looked surprised.

"No, no, I've had it once, and the taste is familiar, so I'll just say goodbye." Su Xingchen had drunk it before, but it was the complete jasmine tea that people drink in later generations, not this kind of high-grade jasmine tea. It was mainly because it was famous for its Beijing tea. The only thing he knew was that it cost one yuan. Who would have thought that in the eyes of the old man, he had drunk a lot.

Su Xingchen soaked for a while longer, chatting with the old man. When Su Xingchen felt it was about time, he said goodbye and left.

"Check out the bill. I had a bath and a glass of gacha. How much?" Su Xingchen said as he reached into his pocket to take out money.

"Two cents, but comrade, where did you get the Gaosui? We don't sell it here. Did Old Wang give it to you?" said the young man who collected the money.

"Yes, an old man asked me if I wanted to drink liquor, and then asked Lao Wang to bring me a glass." Su Xingchen said at a loss, holding the money.

"Hey, that's probably the former owner of the bathhouse, Uncle Ma. He left his tea leaves at Lao Wang's place and likes to treat people to tea. You don't have to pay, you can go now." The young man replied with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Thank you very much. Mr. Ma asked me for money, and I thought the bathhouse was really for sale." Su Xingchen handed the money to the young man and said.

"No way."
