When I was a child, there was a dry toilet at the corner of the alley, which was shaded by trees, and in front of the door was a wild grass that grew wildly, and when we smelled the stench, it was probably almost there, and we could find it even with our eyes closed.
In the early morning, there was a long queue in front of the aqua toilet.
Before going to bed, my mother would take our little hand and go again.
In the summer, mosquitoes and flies set up camp here, and when we walked out of the dry toilet, we got a foul smell on our bodies and mosquito bites on our arms and legs.
In winter, the aqua toilet was as cold as an ice cellar, and the cold wind blew wantonly, and we who were cowering in the corner were frozen out of our noses.
The two pedals under our feet weren't very sturdy, and we were always worried about falling into them.
The feces in the pit are not cleaned often, and we dare not look down.
The toilet paper has been crumpled, unfold it, wipe it, and hurry away.
After using bamboo, tiles, crumpled scratch paper, and newspapers, I realized that this crumpled knife-cut toilet paper is really easy to use.
It's rough too, but it's better than a butt cut.
At that time, many families would stock up a lot of them on the kang or in the storage room before the Chinese New Year, which was enough to use for a whole year.
Pick two favorite colors and put them in your pocket, turn around and run to the toilet.
It has an obvious graininess to the touch, and in Northeast dialect, it is "Lala Baba's".
It is relatively easy to break, and it is easy to leave confetti, so you can't use it too hard or rub it too much.
If you use it when you have diarrhea, tsk......
Later, this kind of easy-to-store rolling paper appeared, which was still very rough, and dust would drift in the air if you shook it.
In that era of scarcity of materials, every household used rough knife paper, so even if this paper did not feel good to use, no one would dislike it.
More than ten years later, fragrant soft handkerchief paper appeared, which was better than roll paper.
The outer skin of the handkerchief paper is also used as a wallet by many people, who put a few banknotes in it and carry it in the pocket of their school uniform.
