Talking about bathing

When I took a shower as a child, I remember that it was washed by adults, but I went to the bathhouse in my father's factory. My father's factory is a big state-owned factory, with 10 thousand people, so naturally he has such welfare benefits. That day, we agreed to take a bath, and Aunt Yang took the children next door. When we got there, we saw the fierce woman who was the gatekeeper. Although we were children of the factory and qualified to go in, we still felt a little scared. Poor my aunt also went in blindly in a panic and didn't buy tickets for her children who were only two or three years old in a hurry. The woman at the door shouted, "Come back!" Why didn't the child buy a ticket? ! Aunt with a wry smile, the child, so small ... small? Hum! Women sneer and want to buy tickets as long as they have brains! Sober, the aunt was scared to make up the ticket quickly. Later, when Aunt Yang mentioned this, her heart stood up.

In the late 1980s, I joined a textile factory. Fortunately, there is a bathhouse in the factory, but it is not easy to take a bath. Line up an hour or two in advance to take a shower. The team is quite spectacular. As soon as the opening hours arrived, the door of the bathhouse creaked open, and immediately people were buzzing and scrambling. Some were pushed down, and some were trampled. Think about it, just twenty or thirty sprinkler workers, two or three thousand workers. How can it be enough? Who doesn't want to take a hot bath after work? Some people with red plastic pots, some with children in their arms, some with fast legs and feet, and some young people all rushed into the bathhouse and took seats in advance. Some people account for a few, saying that they are for family use. This person is unhappy when he comes home, and quarrels when he has a bad temper. Gently only admit that you are unlucky. She started standing there, you washed, and she looked at it. That doesn't count. There is a second one waiting behind, which annoys the people who wash, and the people who wait are even more annoying. It will turn black if washed. At that time, it was common to go home with stars after a shower.

1at the end of 999, my husband and I finally ended the days of renting houses, entered the second batch of fund-raising houses in the factory, and fortunately lived in an apartment. Mr. Wang installed the solar water heater first. At that time, solar water heaters were still expensive. We bought the largest capacity and began to enjoy a bath at home without hesitation. Well, no more queuing, no more looking at the face of the doorman in the bathhouse, no more worrying about squeezing your arm and hurting your skin, and turning over the serfs to sing! However, solar energy has advantages and limitations. You can't wash it when it rains. At this time, our small city is also undergoing earth-shaking changes. The public baths outside have mushroomed, and there are also well-decorated bath centers, which have already been gearing up for the market. But after all, ordinary people can only go to public baths. Even so, it still can't meet everyone's requirements, especially around the Spring Festival, the bathhouse is very popular, and the fare has risen from the initial three yuan to four yuan to five yuan and ten yuan. Well, you have to wash it, too Fortunately, it's spring now. As soon as the weather is warm, people can wash at home.

My solar water heater has been used by us for 8 or 9 years, and I am a little lazy. It's often someone else's home that basks early and is still cold. Once the service life is counted, it will soon die. We hurried to buy another electric water heater, and my husband was afraid that I wouldn't use it and explained it four or five times. Because there were quite a few accidents caused by water heaters in earlier years, there is no safety problem now with anti-electricity measures and protective walls.

The good days have finally come!

It is very pleasant to go home from work, take a hot bath, and then sit down and have a cup of hot tea. When Mr. Wang talked about this, he was quite emotional, saying that he would never have to go to another factory to take a bath again, just look at his face. Wash now if you want, and occasionally want to be extravagant. After washing, you can go to the bath center to enjoy a massage, but you can't go at any time. You still have to live, right? I smiled and nodded.

Recalling the previous experience seems like a dream. Thirty years of reform has really brought us tangible benefits. We lived in a big house, took a hot bath ... and enjoyed an unprecedented happy life.
