He Tiantian washed the dishes and utensils, wiping them down with a clean cotton cloth before putting them away in the kitchen cabinet.
There was a lot of garbage in both the kitchen and the house's trash cans. After cleaning them out, He Tiantian carried the two metal garbage cans to the large bin at the entrance of the alley. The garbage truck would take away the trash from there every day.
Since it wasn't far, He Tiantian went alone without asking anyone to accompany her.
This alley had long been imprinted in her mind, very familiar to her. She could walk steadily through it without any lighting. Because the alley was narrow, it was a common understanding among neighbors not to leave items at the door to avoid tripping over them.
As He Tiantian walked, she hummed the lively "Purple Bamboo Melody"; cough cough, whether or not others would recognize it as "Purple Bamboo Melody" was beyond her control.
In any case, she felt particularly good right now.
