He Lixuan took the things to the stream to wash them. When he came back after washing them clean, Shiyue had already dug one pit and was digging a second one next to it.
Sweat dripped down her forehead, drop by drop.
He Lixuan quickly put the things into the kitchen, then came out and snatched Shiyue's shovel, asking, "Why are you digging a hole? Why didn't you ask me to dig it?"

At that moment, she began to realize that her level of education was really quite low.
