Seeing him heading to the car, Shen Mianmian prepared to say goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother He, go ahead if you have things to do! I have something else to attend to and won’t be heading back yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Nan raised an eyebrow slightly, “To the bathhouse for a bath?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bulging backpack surely contained clothing; it wasn’t hard to guess her intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Mianmian admitted obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept hypnotizing herself that in He Nan’s eyes, she was just a little brat; thus, she felt there was nothing to be embarrassed about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on, then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Nan opened the car door and directly took the driver’s seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye, Big Brother He.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Mianmian raised her hand in a farewell gesture; it was the same one she had used when she used to drop off Zhou Siyu’s kid at the kindergarten. At that moment, habit took over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing she had just treated He Nan like a child, she retracted her hand awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Big Brother He had already gotten into the car, certainly not having seen her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling guilty, Shen Mianmian turned and hurriedly left, her steps quickening until she eventually broke into a jog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the car, He Nan watched those short legs run like they had propellers attached, his face darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he really that frightening?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Mianmian, holding her five cents, arrived at the bathhouse only to discover that, close to the New Year, the price for a bath had gone up. Thankfully, she had eight dimes left from before that she hadn’t spent, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to afford this bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathhouses of that era were very rudimentary, with a large pool filled with hot water where everybody soaked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, it was mealtime so the bathhouse wasn’t crowded, and the water wasn’t very dirty yet. Even so, she didn’t get into the pool to bathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the water in the bathhouses wasn’t disinfected, and all sorts of people used it. As a young girl, she had to be mindful of her hygiene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found an empty basin, filled it with clean hot water from the tap, and found a corner to start rinsing. Shen Mianmian missed the showers of the twenty-first century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to find a way to make money. Otherwise, even taking a simple hot bath would be a luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eager to truly live her second chance at life, Shen Mianmian wanted to enjoy everything she hadn’t experienced in her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to have her own home, her own bathroom, her own desk, her own husband and children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to have a complete life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young girl, can you really get clean squatting there? Why don’t you come over here and soak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plump lady already soaking in the bath saw Shen Mianmian alone, bathing by pouring water over herself with her hands and couldn’t bear to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you scrub off the dirt on your body without soaking in the hot water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Mianmian came back to her senses and replied softly, “I’m fine washing over here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t get clean washing there,” the lady said while scrubbing her arm, “It’s hot in the water and it feels comfortable, and you’ll get clean.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Mianmian turned her head to look and, feeling embarrassed, quickly averted her gaze, thinking to herself that she really needed to hurry up and earn money to buy a house. Houses in the city were cheap at the moment; a few thousand yuan could get one, but after the nineties, the price of houses would skyrocket. If she wanted to buy a house then, it wouldn’t be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>",677,"2026-06-06T05:22:07.575Z",1,"novelbin.me","807aa96607975aab1c830a62852ab7ddac72d473dc08887b4c2b4eb7e4914730","rebirth-in-the-80s-the-scholar-wife-is-cute-chapter-155","rebirth-in-the-80s-the-scholar-wife-is-cute-chapter-153",1317,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-in-the-80s-the-scholar-wife-is-cute-cover.jpg"]
