Having eaten her fill, Hu's Clan insisted on washing the dishes.
The midday heat was unbearable, and the slightest movement would cover one in sweat; aside from taking a nap, there was nothing else suitable to be done.
Qiao Duo'er first prepared a basin of warm water for Tan Zhenghong, then fetched him clean clothes before she too wiped her body behind the curtains; otherwise, with the smell of sweat all over her, she wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
Since it was always Tan Zhenghong who finished washing up first, Qiao Duo'er didn't think twice before lifting the curtain and stepping out.
By the time Qiao Duo'er awoke, Hu's Clan had come with her two daughters. There was still pickling vegetables and soy products to do in the afternoon, but with everyone working together, it didn't take long to finish.
Glancing at the sun, there was still half an hour left to rest before heading to town.
