Chapter 626: Extremely Satisfying

During the meal, the family finally brought up an unavoidable topic again, which was the matter of gold panning.

Fortunately, this time when talking about gold panning, it was just as casual as idle chatter, and no one in the family had any excited emotions.

Under the questioning of the family, Wang An briefly talked about things like how much gold each of the 10 people who went into the mountains this time was divided, how the first gold nugget came about, how the bear gall came about, the magic of the broken-tailed fox, and the unclean things seen and strange sounds heard that night, and so on and so forth.

Until the end, Liu Guilan said with a face full of emotion: "Our family has enough money to spend. Don't go gold panning anymore in the future. Throwing your life away there again, how damn not worth it! If the person is gone, what's the use of earning more?"

One has to say, although Liu Guilan was usually fiery and quick to anger, she had never been vague on major issues.

Wang Dazhu blinked his eyes and echoed with a face full of surprise:

"Mm, indeed. I look at it, you guys going gold panning is no different from Tang Seng going to get the scriptures. This damn thing, encountering demons, immortals, and ghosts, you can encounter anything. It's truly damn awesome."

Speaking of this, Wang Dazhu took a sip of wine and continued:

"We are just ordinary common people. If we have money, spend a bit more; if we don't, spend a bit less. In the future, let's just be quiet and don't pull this crap again."

Hearing Wang Dazhu's words, Wang An immediately laughed. The main thing was that Wang Dazhu's words were very realistic and could be said to be very well summarized.

Even Wang An himself, when recalling the various bizarre things encountered during this gold panning trip into the mountains, felt it was very incredible, as if it were a dream, not real at all.

After the couple finished speaking, Wang An nodded and said:

"Mm, not going anymore. We have all agreed that that place is relatively evil, and we won't go there in the future."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueqing immediately said: "It's right not to go. It's enough to have money to spend. It's better to live a stable life like this."

Just like that, while eating and talking, the family finished this sumptuous morning meal.

The reason it was called a morning meal was that the time for eating this meal was neither morning nor noon; it was a meal that was neither here nor there.

After the meal, for the sake of convenience, Wang An did not move the large wooden barrel used for bathing into the house, but directly placed the large barrel not far from the stove.

It was called a large barrel, but it actually looked like a large wooden urn.

This thing was designed by Wang Dazhu and made by his own hands.

Normal large barrels or water buckets used for bathing were spliced together from wooden boards, but this large barrel was different.

Because this large barrel was a whole! Ever since Wang An asked Wu Dong to help borrow a chainsaw, Wang Dazhu felt that this chainsaw should be used to its full potential and shouldn't be left in the lower room to gather dust.

So Wang Dazhu joined forces with his eldest brother Wang Dashu and his second brother Wang Daliang, and the three of them worked together to fell 3 linden trees with diameters of over 1.5 meters.

Immediately after, the three brothers used the trunks of these 3 linden trees to make several things.

Pig troughs for feeding pigs, wooden barrels for bathing, wooden basins for washing clothes, and finally, each person also made a very long horse trough.

But these items had one common characteristic, which was that they were all whole.

Whole meant that no tree glue or mortise and tenon joints were used, nor were nails, and it was a piece of wood without any splicing.

And the predecessor of this wooden barrel was a cylindrical wooden stump about 1 meter high, which Comrade Wang Dazhu used a chainsaw to forcefully gouge a hole in the middle of.

Finally, this wooden stump was turned into a wooden barrel, or rather, a wooden urn. But one has to admit that this kind of whole wooden barrel was sturdy, and the most important thing was that there was no need to worry about water leakage.

The reason there was no need to worry about water leakage was that linden wood was relatively oily, wear-resistant, crack-resistant, and had very good toughness. Most importantly, this thing was very resistant to water soaking, which meant it was corrosion-resistant, and it was also a raw material used for making boats.

Of course, it didn't mean that Wang An dragged the wooden barrel over and just bathed naked in the courtyard like that.

Immediately after, Wang An buried 4 wooden stakes as tall as a person around the large barrel and surrounded these four wooden stakes with straw mats.

One has to say, although this bathroom looked extremely crude, it was truly very practical.

The moment Wang An sat into the wooden barrel filled with warm water, a feeling of being ethereal and celestial immediately arose spontaneously.

Satisfying, it was truly too satisfying! Extremely satisfying!

In the Northeast, perhaps because of the temperature, the vast majority of people liked soaking in baths rather than showering.

Because in the eyes of Northeasterners, showering didn't wash thoroughly enough and wasn't clean enough; only by soaking thoroughly in the water without any dead ends could it be called bathing.

Unfortunately, just halfway through soaking, Wang An felt that his body had a problem, and a big one at that! The main thing was that his little brother was very restless and very disobedient, always wanting to float to the surface to poke its head out and see this bustling little world.

At this moment, the little Wang An was so helpless, standing alone in the water and looking around, very much wanting to find a warm little nest to lie in for a while and then have a sleep.

About half an hour later, the water temperature in the wooden barrel had obviously dropped, and Wang An also stood up.

Instantly, a chill struck, making Wang An shiver, and the little Wang An was also directly frozen into obedience.

One has to say, bathing is satisfying for a moment, but getting out of the water is life-threatening! Quickly wiping the water off his body, Wang An quickly put on his clothes.

Opening the small wooden plug at the bottom of the barrel to drain the water, Wang An slipped into the house. Taking advantage of the fact that only Mu Xueqing was in the house, Wang An hugged Mu Xueqing and started gnawing. One has to say, having not kissed or hugged his wife for more than 20 days, Wang An felt that the scent on his wife's body was still so charming.

And Mu Xueqing, who hadn't seen Wang An for more than 20 days, was no longer shy as before, and her response was also unusually intense.

Unfortunately, besides gnawing and hugging, these two couldn't do anything else; not only did time not allow it, but Mu Xueqing's body didn't allow it either! After a simple moment of intimacy, Mu Xueqing asked softly:

"Have you been stifled for all these days?"

Wang An shook his head and said:

"Where would I have time to consider this? I was busy to death all day."

Mu Xueqing pointed to Wang An's crotch and said:

"Then what's going on with this? Why is it so restless?"

As she spoke, Mu Xueqing also patted it lightly.

But this one pat cost Wang An his life, directly giving Wang An a feeling that he was about to explode at any moment.
