Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

The receptionist looked at He Yuzhu's dusty appearance, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. But he didn't show it. After all, he came from the capital. If he had any connections, revenge would be a piece of cake. In the end, the receptionist still told them the destination:

"Go out and walk east along the main road. After passing two crossroads, there is a public bathroom on the north road. It's the only place in this town where you can take a shower!"

He Yuzhu asked:

"Excuse me, do I need a special bath ticket to go there?"

As we all know, bath tickets are generally issued by local governments, and there is no national unified version. After hearing He Yuzhu's question, the waiter nodded and said:

"Of course. How can you do things without a ticket nowadays?" He Yuzhu explained:

"Comrade, to be honest, we are both from the capital and we don't have any bath tickets here.

But we have national food coupons here. Can you exchange these ten kilograms of universal food coupons for two local bath tickets?"

The waiter was stunned by He Yuzhu's proposal, thinking that this was really a big deal. Because this kind of bath ticket is actually quite easy to obtain locally, it is allocated every month, and even if someone can't use it, almost everyone can get it.

The waiter asked:

"Can we really exchange like this? Bath tickets here are actually very easy to get!"

He Yuzhu was surprised to see the receptionist speak so frankly, but he also appreciated her frankness. He Yuzhu nodded and said:

"That's true, I understand that. But isn't this just a gift between relatives?

If you are familiar with each other, it is not difficult to ask for a few more photos privately.

However, we are just passers-by from a faraway place, we don’t know anyone, and in addition to the current situation...

We came up with this solution out of desperation. You can rest assured that our food stamps have no expiration date and can be used at any time."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, the waiter replied: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will get it for you."

Then she turned and went into the house without saying anything more. The waitresses here also have positions, not only are they paid, but they can also access various tickets, especially tickets like bath tickets that are not in great demand. The waitress rarely goes to the bathhouse on weekdays, so she has accumulated some extra bath tickets. After a while, she returned with several tickets and handed them to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu took a look and only took two, saying:

"We're leaving tomorrow, so we only need two. No need for the extra ones!"

As he spoke, he took out a national grain coupon with a face value of ten catties and handed it to the waiter. Seeing the waiter's face blooming with joy, He Yuzhu then handed a bath ticket to Chen Xueru, and the two left immediately.

After a while, He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru came to the bathhouse and entered the different changing areas for men and women. After more than half a month without a bath, although He Yuzhu himself was well-educated and did not look particularly dirty, he still felt that something was lacking - he was a diligent cleaner at home. So he took a hot bath and found a master to help rub his back. After the bath, He Yuzhu put on a white bathrobe and went to the pedicure place to enjoy the service. In this era, massage was not yet popular, but the pedicure master would also gently massage the guests to relax during the process. As for Chen Xueru, she entered the women's department alone and took bath care separately from He Yuzhu.

After the matter was settled, He Yuzhu came out first, and after a moment, Chen Xueru followed closely behind.

The two of them had already changed into fresh clothes.

Since they had not only changed their clothes but also taken a shower, the dusty look on their bodies had completely disappeared. After completing their pedicure and paying, the two looked completely different from before, and even the checkout person at the front desk could not recognize them at first glance.

He Yuzhu said, "Let's go get a haircut and shave!"

Chen Xueru nodded in agreement, knowing that the bathrooms in the future world would be much better, with all kinds of facilities. But in this place, it was difficult to enjoy such services.

After arriving at the barber shop, He Yuzhu received a new haircut and shaved off his beard, which made him look younger. Then, the couple enjoyed a meal together and returned to their accommodation.

Many pedestrians on the street were secretly looking at the couple holding hands. You know, in the current era, their bright and beautiful appearance is definitely a standout. Soon they returned to their residence and faced the front desk receptionist, who instinctively asked: "Hello, comrade, do you need to register? I need to see the letter of introduction."

In response, He Yuzhu just smiled and looked at the other person. Noticing this look, the front desk attendant felt very confused and didn't know why he was being looked at like that.

At this time, Chen Xueru interrupted and said, "Brother Zhuzi, stop teasing this colleague. Hello, friend, we are the two who just exchanged the bathing coupons with you!"

After hearing what Chen Xueru said, the receptionist reacted instantly. He was astonished and couldn't help but exclaimed: "So that's how it is. Taking a shower and changing clothes can actually cause such a big change! It's like a different person, much more beautiful than before!" Obviously, they thought that this couple from the big city were far more beautiful than the locals, and since they were leaving the next day, there were no further emotional fluctuations.

In response, He Yuzhu laughed heartily and said, "This comrade is really a straightforward person!" The receptionist smiled and responded, "Haha, this is not straightforward, but the truth. We don't have as many thoughts as you do!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was very satisfied with the current relaxed and joyful atmosphere, so he laughed and replied: "Indeed, thank you for your understanding. I am indeed a little tired today and I am ready to rest."

The front desk clerk didn't say much, just nodded slightly. He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru then returned to their rooms and rested for the night. The next morning, they took a bus to the city, bought the return tickets there, and set off towards their respective destination cities.

That afternoon, the two arrived at the destination, met with relevant personnel, and successfully got their car back.

After starting the car, the two left the suburbs. After a short stay for a day to adjust, He Yuzhu drove Chen Xueru back. During the drive, He Yuzhu asked Chen Xueru: "How do you feel about this trip?"

Chen Xueru replied, "Whether it was interesting or not is another matter, but I did experience many new things and learned a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before. By the way, are all the necessary herbs ready?"
