Nowadays, there is a joke circulating on the Internet that southerners have never seen a big bathhouse, and students who study in the north will wear underwear|pants to take a bath in the school bathhouse.

Ning Xiaobei doesn't know about the younger generation, but those born in the [-]s and [-]s like him are no strangers to public bathhouses.

Leaving aside the fact that men in the Jiangnan area have always had the tradition of "skin bag water in the morning, water bag = skin in the afternoon" and soak in "mixed halls". People like Ning Xiaobei, who grew up in the factory area, went in and out of the state-owned factory bathrooms when they were young. But you won't show timidity when you see people with bare ass|buttocks.

The bathroom of the third shoe factory is a large bathhouse with hundreds of people, and there are more than a dozen masters who just scrub and knock their backs.Although there is no milk-rubbing or vinegar-rubbing sutra that was popular in the north later, the masters in Yangzhou are also top-notch in their kung fu of tapping their backs and poking their feet.

As soon as he walked to the door of the bathroom, the smell of shampoo mixed with hot steam and soap wafted out along the wind from the big bathhouse. Ning Xiaobei took a deep breath nostalgicly, and followed Ning Jianguo inside.

The bathhouse was full of people, old and young, and many people brought their parents and children to take a bath.Most of the people who work in the factory live nearby. They are both colleagues and neighbors, and they are familiar with each other. This kind of lively scene will never be seen again in the following years.

"Hey, how can you little comrade enter the women's bathroom?"

Just as Ning Xiaobei followed his father to the men's bathroom, he heard an auntie at the door with red cuffs and curly hair calling behind them.

Ning Xiaobei looked back and saw a boy about his age was being led into the women's bathroom.Leaving aside the fact that this boy is tall and burly, he is half a head taller than him, so why did he even go to the women's bathroom to take a shower? The woman who is leading him, Ning Xiaobei, also knows him—this is Ma Zhiguo's wife, Liu Meifang!

"What's the matter? My nephew is young. I don't worry about him going to the men's bathroom alone, so I take him to the women's bathroom. How can I not?"

Liu Meifang said confidently.

"Still young? He's almost as tall as me, and he's not fluffy. How embarrassing."

"Red Armband" pointed to the boy and said, "Besides, it is stipulated in the factory that non-immediate family members are not allowed to enjoy employee benefits. What kind of immediate family member is your nephew?"

Seeing the quarrel here, people who came in and out gathered around one after another.Several young female workers in their early 20s heard that this tall and burly boy almost entered the women's bathroom, and immediately raised their eyebrows and quarreled with Liu Meifang.

"Hey, he's so small, he knows what a fart. Besides, you were seen as a piece of meat or something? You have no butt|buttocks and no waist. You are precious, and you are valuable. Tell you, it's free My Abao will watch it, but my Abao won’t watch it yet.”

"Mother Fan, don't say such things to me. Just because I wear a red cuff, there are five people and six people. Your sisters and their children, which one of them has never come to the factory to take a bath, tell me now. It’s the rules, you made the rules, right?”

Liu Meifang is full of fighting power, and her mouth is more powerful than a cannon. Seeing that the "red armband" and the female worker can't talk to her, she raised her eyebrows proudly, and pulled her nephew Abao's arm to rush in.

"Let's go, ma'am takes Nong to take a bath, Ala won't quarrel with these gangsters."

At this moment, a small arm stretched out and put it on A Bao's arm.

"A Bao, come take a bath with me, we don't go to the women's bathhouse."

From Ning Xiaobei's point of view, seeing this little boy named "A Bao" blushing like a tomato, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

Liu Meifang herself has no quality and is used to being domineering in the factory. Although her nephew is young, she already has gender awareness and shame. Hearing the comments from the people around her, she also knows that her aunt has gone too far. He just Sorry to say it out loud.

"Yes, sister-in-law Zhiguo, Xiaobei and I took Nong's nephew to take a bath together, so Nong can feel at ease now."

Standing behind Ning Xiaobei, Ning Jianguo said to Liu Meifang with a smile.

"It's Ning Gong... okay, I have nothing to worry about when Ning Gong is here."

Seeing that Ning Jianguo and his son had come forward to coordinate, Liu Meifang had no choice but to compromise.In addition, she still wanted something from them, so she immediately put on a flattering face, and pushed her nephew Abao towards Xiaobei with both hands.

"This is my brother's son, so it's my son. Why can't he be regarded as an 'immediate family member'. Ah, it's because Lao Ma is not feeling well these days, so I can't bring him here in person. Otherwise, how could I Got into a quarrel with those [-]s."

Ning Jianguo was talking to Ma Zhiguo outside just now, thinking that you, a woman, are really bragging and not drafting.But he didn't expose him face to face, just took the towel from Liu Meifang's hand, and took the two children to the locker room.

Standing under the shower head, Ning Jianguo washed the two children clean before taking them to the pool where they took a bath.Ah Bao became excited when he saw the hot water pool, which was half the size of a standard swimming pool, and plunged into it.

There were seven or eight little boys of their age playing in the pool. They were fighting and splashing each other, and they became familiar after a while.It was too much trouble, and only adults stepped forward to take them out and teach them a lesson.

Ning Xiaobei got into the water and sat down next to Ning Jianguo.The pool was quite deep, and it barely reached Ning Xiaobei's neck after sitting down, forcing him to raise his head, otherwise he would have to take a mouthful of bath water if he said a few words.

"Why don't you go play with them? Didn't you like diving in the pool the most?"

Ning Jianguo put the towel on his head and said with a smile.

Ning Xiaobei laughed embarrassedly when he heard the words.

Although he has been introverted since he was a child, he still has a naughty air in his bones, which is "dull skin" in Shanghai dialect.

Before Ning Xiaobei went to elementary school, he learned to swim with his father in the worker's swimming pool. He is best at "dog pawing" and diving.I once dived in the men's bathhouse for a quarter of an hour, with my belly sticking to the underwater tiles, and I couldn't hold back until I came up to catch my breath.

That time, he scared Ning Jianguo and his fellow workers around, and he searched inside and outside before finding it, and then he was held down by the pool by his father and beat him up before he let him go.

"I'm not feeling well, I don't want to play."

As Ning Xiaobei said, he squatted down and blew two bubbles.

What can he say?It's hard to say that I look at those little devils now as I look at my son, and I look at Dad and people your age like I look at my brothers. I want to play with you old guys more.

"Dad, that Uncle Ma's house lives on the other side of the big self-ringing clock?"

Ning Xiaobei watched Ning Jianguo close his eyes, and asked in his ear.

"No. Ma lives two streets away from us. His son used to go to the same elementary school as you. He went to middle school last year."

Ning Jianguo shook his head.

"But……"

Ning Xiaobei licked his lips.

He decided to tell a lie that was [-]% true and [-]% false.

"I met a fifth grade repeater brother at the school gate before the summer vacation. He said that he and Ma Jiaqi used to be in the same class, and said that during the summer vacation, he would go to the big bell to find Ma Jiaqi's elder brother Bai Xiang. He said what happened to the Ma family There are also color TVs and karaokes imported from Japan.”

As far as he knew later, the Ma family bought a new house as early as the end of 94, and kept it firmly hidden from the factory.

Most of the houses at that time were allocated by the state or replaced by individuals. This kind of newly built, tradable house was called "commercial house", and only a few wealthy people could afford it.

After hearing Ning Xiaobei's words, Ning Jianguo slowly opened his eyes.

Different from Ning Xiaobei who had fine eyebrows and fine eyes, Ning Jianguo was born with sharp brows and bright eyes, and his eyes were especially beautiful, as if they could shoot cold light.He fixedly glanced at Ning Xiaobei, only to see his son staring back at him with sparkling eyes, and then nodded slightly.

"understood."

He frowned and wiped his face with his hands.

"Don't talk to this kind of repeater in the future. Ala Xiaobei is a good boy, and he will go to university in the future, you know?"

"I know."

Ning Xiaobei smiled.

His dad is just honest and soft-hearted, not a fool, that's enough.

After soaking for a while, the muscles, bones and skin all stretched out.Ning Jianguo wanted to grab Xiaobei and rub it next to him, but Ning Xiaobei directly refused.

Just kidding, the back rubbing master in this factory is so ruthless that he can't wait to rub the skin off. Ning Xiaobei has regarded this scrubbing as a punishment since he was a child, so naturally he can escape escape.

"I'm going to play with Po."

As Ning Xiaobei said, he ran away with his bare ass|buttocks.

After swimming around in the pool, Ning Xiaobei tied the towel around his waist and began to visit the old bathroom.

The third leather shoe factory was originally a cotton clothing factory run by the Japanese before liberation.

At that time, the Japanese who were living a good life were very good at enjoying it, so the bathroom was the largest among several nearby factories.It can be seen from the dome inlaid with sapphire blue mosaics and several thick marble Roman columns that are left behind.

Dad said that when he first entered the factory, he heard from the master worker that there used to be a picture of Mount Fuji painted by a famous Japanese painter on the largest wall of the men's bathhouse, which was later removed.

Ning Xiaobei looked at the now bare yellow wall, and wondered if it was a psychological effect, as if he really saw a bit of the shadow of Mount Fuji.

There are two floors in the bathhouse. It is said that the second floor is a "private soup" that can only be enjoyed by little devil managers. Devils can watch Oriental women dance while taking a bath.Now the second floor is the factory-run workers' club, where workers in the new era can dance "jumping and sacha" on weekends.

Ning Xiaobei has never been to the second floor, he only knows that in two years this bathroom, and even the entire leather shoe factory will be changed hands several times, ups and downs, and finally abandoned. one of the zones.It was not until around 2003 that the land was re-expropriated and transformed into an art park.

When he entered the factory just now, the scene of hundreds of workers pushing bicycles in and out will soon become a swan song.

Thinking about it this way, what I have to do is not just as simple as taking back the welfare housing.

Ning Xiaobei frowned, but he didn't realize that he had gone further and further to the edge of the men's bathroom.Rows of discarded tables, chairs and lockers are piled up here, so dirty that no one would come here on purpose.

After all, there is a women's bathhouse just across the wall, so avoid suspicion.

But it's clear that not everyone has such noble thoughts.

Ning Xiaobei pursed his lips, watching three or five naked young men huddled together on a dilapidated side table, lying on the window, looking through the frosted glass with a corner missing, looking at the woman in the women's bathhouse. view.

These shameless bastards watched with relish and smiled wretchedly, and even the people below reacted.

"Come on!"

Ning Xiaobei's eyes widened with anger, and he yelled loudly, "Someone peeped at the girl taking a bath, catch the gangster!"

The author has something to say:

Purse water in the morning, water in the afternoon□□: This is a tradition in the Jianghuai area, which says that men drink tea in the morning and take a bath in the afternoon.The public bathhouses in Shanghai are also called "hundangs".
