Chapter 55 is not small
Lin Weiwei held the envelope, which was still warm from her body, her fingers unconsciously stroking the rough surface of the kraft paper.
Su Wanwan also held the envelope in her hand. The two looked at each other and saw disbelief and unconcealed joy in each other's eyes.
Bai Rongbei had already turned and entered the room he shared with Bai Si'an. The door was ajar, letting in a dim, yellow light.
Bai Si'an stood in front of Lin Weiwei, adjusted his glasses, and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Keep this safe. Let me know if you need more."
"Okay." Lin Weiwei carefully put the envelope into her pocket and patted it. "Don't worry, I definitely won't spend it recklessly."
"From now on, if you want to buy cigarettes or alcohol, you'll have to report to me."
Bai Si'an pushed up his glasses, the tips of his ears still red: "I don't smoke much."
"That still needs to be reported." Lin Weiwei raised her chin, looking like she was in charge.
"I'm going to sleep," said Baisian. "You should get some rest too."
"Mm," Lin Weiwei responded, watching him turn and go into the house.
After both doors were closed, Lin Weiwei pulled Su Wanwan into their own room.
As soon as the door closed, the two of them couldn't hold back any longer.
"My God!" Lin Weiwei pulled out the envelope, lowered her voice, and her eyes shone like stars. "Wanwan, did you see? He just gave it to me!"
Su Wanwan also took out her envelope, and the two sat on the edge of the bed, emptying out the contents to look at them.
The envelope from Bai Rongbei was indeed thick; it contained a stack of money tied with a rubber band, all ten-yuan bills, roughly twenty or more in total.
There were also various coupons and certificates: grain coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons... a small stack of colorful coupons.
The one belonging to Bai Si'an was thinner, with about a dozen bills and all the necessary receipts.
"Over two thousand yuan!" Lin Weiwei exclaimed in surprise. "And so many tickets...we're practically rich now!"
Su Wanwan carefully put away the money and tickets, and said softly, "Their wages are not low, but it's hard-earned money. We have to be careful with them and not spend it recklessly."
"I know, I know," Lin Weiwei put the money away and suddenly laughed, "But seriously, those two are really efficient. One takes the lead, and the other immediately follows, as if they're afraid of falling behind."
"It's quite good." Su Wanwan smiled, put both envelopes into the bottom of the wicker trunk, and carefully covered them with her clothes.
After putting the money away, both of them felt sticky all over.
Today I was busy fixing toilets and running around, and I worked up a sweat.
"Shall we go to the public bathhouse?" Lin Weiwei suggested.
"Walk."
It was already past 8 p.m., and there weren't many people in the bathhouse.
The two women carried basins, towels, and soap inside. The room was misty, and several military dependents were washing up. When they saw them come in, they greeted them.
After they both agreed with a smile, they began to take a shower.
Lin Weiwei was already used to public bathhouses. She found an empty seat, put the basin on the ground, and started taking off her clothes.
Lin Weiwei adapted quickly, and in no time she was naked, and turned on the tap to rinse herself.
Su Wanwan was still a little reserved, so she turned her back to the person and slowly took off her clothes, wrapping a towel around herself after each piece.
"Wanwan, hurry up!" Lin Weiwei had already lathered up with soap. "The water's nice and warm, it feels good!"
Su Wanwan then took off the last piece of clothing and quickly stood under the tap.
The hot water rinse felt really good, washing away some of the day's fatigue.
The two washed quickly and didn't say much.
After showering, the night breeze from the Gobi Desert made me feel refreshed.
Lin Weiwei tossed her wet, short hair and took a deep breath: "That feels so good! I feel like I'm alive again!"
Su Wanwan dried her hair with a towel and whispered, "I need to dry my hair as soon as I get back, otherwise I'll get a headache."
Back in the family compound, Lin Weiwei threw down her washbasin and kicked off her shoes as soon as she entered the house, then pounced on the bed and crawled under the covers.
"I'm exhausted..." she mumbled, burying her face in the blanket. "I'm going to lie down for a bit."
Su Wanwan shook her head. She put the clothes she had changed out of today into a basin to soak, and then planned to go inside to take out the clothes she had previously hoarded and wash them together.
She has a habit of washing her underwear on the same day, while saving her outerwear for two or three days before washing it.
I changed into a skirt today, and I've been wearing the shirt and pants all day, so they all need to be washed.
After soaking the clothes, she turned and went back into the house.
She was stunned when she came out with the dirty clothes.
Her dirty clothes were gone.
Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly searched the room, but found nothing.
She walked to the door and looked into the yard.
The moonlight was beautiful, illuminating the courtyard in a half-light, half-dark atmosphere.
Beside the tap, a tall figure was squatting there, head down, rubbing something in his hands.
It is the northern part of Bai Rong.
There were two basins in front of him. One basin contained the clothes she had changed out of that day, and the other basin contained her clothes.
Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.
She walked over slowly, her footsteps very light, but Bai Rongbei still heard her.
He looked up, saw it was her, and didn't stop what he was doing.
Su Wanwan squinted to see what Bai Rongbei was washing, and she almost cried out.
Those are her underwear!
Bai Rongbei was carefully washing her undergarments with his large hands that held the gun.
Soap bubbles piled up between his fingers, the white foam contrasting strangely yet intimately with his bronze skin.
Su Wanwan stood rooted to the spot, her feet seemingly nailed to the ground, caught in a dilemma.
If you go in, you'll have to face this awkward situation.
She returned it, but her underwear was still in their hands...
"You..." Su Wanwan walked up to him, but before she could say anything, she felt unbearably hot.
The fact that Bai Rongbei washed her underwear made her face burn with embarrassment.
"Bai Rongbei, I... I can wash it myself..." She quickly squatted down and reached out to take the clothes from his hands.
Bai Rongbei raised his hand and dodged.
"Almost done washing," he said, his voice exceptionally clear in the quiet night. "You can rest now."
As he spoke, he continued to rub the collar of his shirt.
His hands were large, with distinct knuckles, and his movements while rubbing clothes were not very skillful, but he did it with great force.
A white layer of soap suds formed on his hands.
Su Wanwan squatted there, looking at her underwear soaking in the basin next to her, the pink fabric faintly visible in the water, so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Bai Rongbei continued washing the pink underwear, but his eyes unconsciously lingered on the clothes in his hands.
The fabric is very soft, the style is simple, but the size...
He narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly.
Su Wanwan's figure looked slender, but the way he touched her told him that she wasn't small in the right places.
