Something Not Worth Talking About

The next day, just after dawn, Qiao Mei boiled a big pot full of water. The weather was gradually getting colder. In addition to having to light the fire every day for warmth, she also had to boil a lot of hot water.

She suddenly missed the water heater at Xia Fang's house. It would be nice to have an automatic device. It was such a strenuous process now and one could freeze to death while taking a bath! The water would turn cold not long after it was put into the bathtub. Now that she was pregnant, she did not dare to touch the cold water at all. Every time she took a bath, she had to ask Li Gui for help.

There would be two big pots of hot water boiling outside. Once the bathwater turned cold, Li Gui would quickly hand her more hot water. It was already good enough that she could take a bath once a week.

They did not dare to install any sewerage pipes in the house. If rats entered the house through the pipes, their toes could get bitten off!
