Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1293: Officer Meng Is Fortunate

This place didn’t have a bathroom in every room.

There were two at each end of the hallway, one toilet, one bathroom.

Men’s on the left, women’s on the right.

At least they were separated by gender.

There were no water heaters inside, so if you wanted hot water, you had to fetch it from the pot in the kitchen with a bucket.

The conditions of this guesthouse were so rudimentary that Chiang Xiao, who came from the future, was at a loss for words to describe it.

But she was slowly getting used to it.

After all, it was the early ’80s now. She had lived once before and had returned to her youth. How could she complain about anything else?

However, Wang Yi, who was born and bred in the ’80s of this era, was actually less adaptable than her.

The Wang Family had always been well off. Seeing the bathroom with black cement walls that were somewhat pitted and the drainage being just a dark trench, she felt some trepidation upon entering.

But it was the middle of summer, and she had climbed hills and even fallen down. If she didn’t bathe, it would surely be unbearable.

”I’ve checked, and the water pipes have been in the sun all day; even the cold water should be a little warm. You go in first, no need to fetch water,” Chiang Xiao said after checking. ”Just rinse off under the faucet; you’ll be out quickly.”

”But I didn’t bring any clothes,” Wang Yi said, feeling awkward.

She had decided to come out on a whim today, so she hadn’t brought any extra clothes.

At that time, as soon as Chen Yin called out to her, she was overjoyed, caring little for anything else.

Now, she realized there was a problem.

Chiang Xiao pointed to herself, ”Wear mine. I brought a few sets of clothes with me.”

Even if what was in her luggage wasn’t enough, she had plenty more clothes in her Space.

Her and Wang Yi’s heights and builds weren’t too different; she was just slightly taller, but it should fit.

”Okay!” Wang Yi smiled immediately, not bothering to stand on ceremony with Chiang Xiao.

She felt their friendship had deepened on this trip. Only good sisters would lend each other clothes, right?

When she took Chiang Xiao’s clothes to the bathroom, turning on the tap proved Chiang Xiao right.

A long section of the piping outside had been in the sun, warming the water perfectly, meaning there was no need for hot water.

Putting on Chiang Xiao’s clothes, she noticed the top had a bit more fabric at the chest, and the pants were a bit tight at the waist.

Wang Yi measured with her hands and imagined, unable to help sticking out her tongue.

It seemed Chiang Xiao’s bust size was far bigger than hers, and the waist far smaller!

Such a figure...

Officer Meng would be blessed in the future!

Should she also try to slim down, to get a slender waist? Maybe Chen Yin would like her more that way?

Thinking about this, Wang Yi’s face turned red with embarrassment.

How shameful of her, what was she thinking!

It was Chiang Xiao’s clothes fault, emphasizing her figure!

She dared not shower too long, wanting to save some of the still-warm water for Chiang Xiao, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw two men carrying a bucket of water heading this way, with Xu Yiqiu following behind them, holding a pile of clothes.

”Miss Wang, are you done bathing?” Xu Yiqiu saw her and took a quick look, surprised, ”You didn’t go fetch hot water? I tell you; we women should use hot water for bathing when possible—it’s good for your health.”

”Fetching water is too much trouble,” Wang Yi responded, feeling a bit down. It seemed the naturally warmed water couldn’t be saved for Chiang Xiao after all.

”The gentlemen are always willing to help,” Xu Yiqiu said softly as she looked at the two men, ”Teacher Zhang, Teacher Lu, would you agree?”
