Return to the era of passion

By the time Tian Erya came out of the shower, it was already dawn, and more and more members came to take a shower. They squeezed into the ticket sales room and asked: "Tie Zhu, have you had breakfast?"

"I haven't eaten yet. You see, I can't live without people." Tie Zhu said.

"Then I'll cook some food and deliver it to you later."

Ergouzi next to him smiled and joked: "Erya, you are a widow, so you are not afraid of others gossiping. How about you cook me some food and send it over?"

Tian Erya turned around, raised her leg and kicked him, and said with a cold face: "Tie Zhu is my apprentice. He learns how to cut hair with me. What's wrong with the master giving him a meal?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I don't know when you accepted your apprentice."

"If you don't know, just go and find out. I have been your disciple for many days."

With the excuse of master-disciple relationship, Tiezhu and Tian Erya got closer, and it was hard for others to say anything. Ergouzi just joked casually.

Wang Bin said: "Er Gouzi, don't talk nonsense when you go out. This Er Ya sister-in-law is now my master."

"Yes, yes, I will never talk nonsense."

Not long after, Tian Erya brought a lunch box. Wang Bin asked Erya to sell tickets for him for a while and took the time to eat the meal.

Tian Erya was carrying the lunch box and was about to leave when Wang Bin said, "Master, can you move the hair cutting shop next door?"

"Why?" Tian Erya asked.

Wang Bin said: "Before, it was all in your own home. It didn't feel right. Now there will be a bathhouse here. The hot water will be continuous and it will save you from burning. Moreover, if you have your hair cut here, you can go in and take a bath directly. This will be more convenient for comrades. .”

Tian Erya thought about it and said, "Okay, anyway, I have to hand over half of the money to the production team, and I can't use my own house or firewood."

To open a hairdressing shop, you need to provide hot water all the time to wash your hair and shave your face. It also requires a lot of firewood to heat hot water every day. In the past, Tian Erya used firewood collected by himself.

If you move here, you will at least save hot water, and you can always get hot water in the boiler room.

This hair cutting shop is also a public business, and it does not belong to the public benefit.

"Then I'll go back and clean it up and move it here in the afternoon."

If the haircut was still done in the original house, Wang Bin wouldn't be able to cut other people's hair. He would tie people here and not leave just by selling tickets.

If the hair cutting cloth is placed next door, they can also take the time to cut your hair. Selling tickets is very simple. They pay [-] cents a piece and they can pay for the tickets themselves.

Not long after Tian Erya left, Meng Qingliang, Wu Guangan and Wang Shoulin came over with the three captains, the security director, the cashier and accountant and other village cadres.

Wang Qingliang entered the room and asked: "How many people have taken a bath?"

Wang Bin said: "There are 50 of them."

Everyone felt at ease now. They had calculated before that if 30 people took a bath a day, it would be enough for these people to earn their work points and coal money.

In other words, if 30 people take baths a day, the bathhouse can maintain its capital.

Coupled with the members of several surrounding brigades, it is difficult not to make money.

These cadres visited around to see if they were allowed to enter the women's bathhouse. Then most of them went into the men's bathhouse to take a bath. Du Miao, the women's director, went into the women's bathhouse to take a bath.

Of course Wang Bin would not ask them for money to take a bath.

After they came out, Wang Bin and Zhang Shihai talked about asking Tian Erya to move the hair cutting shop. Of course, Zhang Shihai would not object and said that Wang Bin's proposal was very good.

Take a shower after cutting your hair so that you are clean from head to toe.

Tian Erya came over to clean up the room. After cleaning it, he asked a few people to move things over in the afternoon.

In this way, Wang Bin and Erya can still take care of each other, otherwise Wang Bin won't even have time to go to the toilet.

If you don't keep a close eye, there will always be some members who sneak in secretly when they see no one is around.

After Wang Bin caught two people, he changed the rules. After buying the tickets, Erniu and Zhaodi had to collect tickets before they could let people in. They could not let people into the bathhouse privately.

After get off work, the receipt should be given to Wang Bin to prevent anyone from sneaking in secretly.

On the first day, people from our brigade came to take a shower, and hundreds of people came to take a shower.

The next morning, Wang Bin stayed in the room early. Before dawn, many strangers came over and asked if they could take a bath here. It only cost [-] cents and they didn't need a bath ticket.

Wang Bin answered the questions one by one. Although the entrance had been written on a small blackboard, most of the members were illiterate and were honest farmers. They all liked to ask questions in person before they dared to come in to buy tickets and take a bath.

Wang Bin also casually introduced that he could get a haircut nearby, and also attracted a few customers for Tian Erya.

However, eating became a problem for the two of them. In the end, the management discussed directly opening a small canteen here. Even Lao Song, who boiled water, the two people in charge of the bathhouse, and Wang Bintian Erya, a total of five people, could eat three meals a day. Eat here.

The funds used are of course the bathhouse's income.

Wang Bin first reported this idea to Meng Qingliang, and then approved a quota of 5 cents per day.

This is quite a lot. There is no charge for cooking coal here, and even the pots, pans, and condiments are taken directly from the canteen at the brigade headquarters.

This 5 cents is already a lot of money.

Wang Bin came back with the things, which made a few people very happy. Although working here gave them an extra income, they couldn't eat three meals a day on time. Now it's better. As long as they take the time to open fire here, at least I can eat hot meals now.

The official opening lasted for two days, and the members of each brigade were very enthusiastic about taking baths. More than 150 people took baths in one day. By the way, Tian Erya's construction investment business also improved a lot.

In the evening, Wu Kaishan's home had just experienced a scolding battle. After dinner, He Yan began to scold Wu Kaishan. She disliked him and could only hide in the house and sigh without doing any work. Then the couple started to quarrel.

He Yan thought about Tiezhu's good fortune, and couldn't help crying while hugging the pillow. Wu Kaishan came to sit down by the kang and advised:

"Okay, don't cry. After the Chinese New Year, my uncle told me to see if he can find some job for me in the commune."

This time, I was indeed unreasonable. If it weren't for Wang Bin's hair extension, I could have taken over smoothly. The person in charge of the bathhouse would still be able to work as a cashier in the third team after the Chinese New Year.

It's all because of that bastard Wang Bin who messed up his own affairs.

He Yan said angrily: "Then there are still more than three months until spring starts and you may not be able to find any work. You are useless. I was blind at the time, so why did I fall in love with you?"

I thought to myself that it would be great if the matchmaker introduced me to Wang Bin at that time. Thinking about Wang Bin's current scenery and his physical strength, and then comparing it to Wu Kaishan, a sickly guy, I became very angry. Back then, I So blind.

"Okay, just these two sentences when we have a quarrel." Wu Kaishan said angrily.

He Yan thought about it and said, "How about you go find Tie Zhu and find something for you to do in the bathhouse?"

"I won't go. Where are you going? I won't be his subordinate."

He Yan said angrily: "If you don't go, how will you get any work points? You can't weave baskets and do a handicraft."

"I'm not going anyway." Wu Kaishan said angrily, "I told you to go, you go."

"Okay, if you don't want to go, then I'll go find Wang Tiezhu and earn some money to support you, a fool."
