Warm bathhouse


I didn't go to college in the college entrance examination that year. The difficult family made me unable to repeat. I transferred to a tool machine factory in the provincial capital to work as an apprentice. The daily work is to put the driver's polished drive shaft neatly, due to the special dust. Big, my whole body is black all day. Even so, there is no place to take a bath in the factory. It is very inconvenient to get off work in the dormitory. Not far from the factory, there is a bathhouse, which can be washed for 3 yuan, and my monthly salary is only 400 yuan. I can't bear this money. Later, if I don't take a bath, I will wash it once every half a month. Every time I take a shower, I will wash it for two hours until 10 o'clock in the evening. At that time, taking a shower is the most beautiful thing in life.

Lao Wu was cleaning the bathhouse because it took me a long time and delayed his time to go home. But he will wait for me every time, and we will gradually become familiar with it and become a friend of the year. Lao Wu often encourages me, let me stick to it, work to wear a mask... I also learned in the conversation that Lao Wu’s family conditions are not good, only 500 yuan a month, his wife is sick, he can’t help. I went to the bathhouse to clean the house.

One day, I washed it to the end. Lao Wu found me and said to me: "Xiaocheng, my husband is very sick. I can't come to clean at night. I will discuss things with you. During the day, I am here, I put the night. The time for cleaning is for you, you just come off work, take time to take a bath. I told the boss, he agreed, I will give you 200 yuan a month." I can't ask for this job! I get off work at 6 o'clock every day, just at night. There is no place to go. If you can clean it here, you can take a bath and earn money every month. This is a beautiful thing! I immediately agreed to...

In this way, I will be half a year, and in the blink of an eye, the end of the year. One day, I sat at the counter and rested. The boss came in and said to the proprietress: "Tomorrow the money of Lao Wu, he will go to his son, 2400 for six months." But I heard something, something is wrong. Is Lao Wu’s salary not 600 yuan per month? I hurriedly asked the boss. The boss turned and asked me some questions: "Isn't that 200 for you?" I suddenly squatted there, and suddenly I understood what was going on...

The next day, because I went to work, I didn’t see the old Wu who went to the bathhouse to withdraw money. I didn’t see it later. Fifteen years have passed, I have not forgotten Lao Wu, I hope that one day we can meet, I want to tell Lao Wu: In my life, there is a love you gave me, which has been treasured in my heart. Warm my life.
