You see, he developed a cleanliness habit in the army, and he's a bit of a germaphobe. Wouldn't he be disgusted to see the dark red bloodstains on her pants...?
It's not that she's psychologically dark; it's that he always avoided her during her periods in her past life.
Seeing her come in with her head down, Wei Mingshen asked her, "Are you alright?"
Her question made her even more flustered, and she told him, "Could you please go out for a bit?"
Wei Mingshen glanced at her and immediately went out.
She took off her pants, both inside and out, put on clean ones, laid down some paper, tidied herself up, and put the dirty pants in a basin of water. She didn't dare wash them in the house, afraid he would see them.
She held the basin and called out, "Come back!"
Wei Mingshen returned, and she walked out sideways carrying a basin.
He hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
Su Xueli had no choice but to answer, "Wash clothes."
"Why are you washing clothes so late at night? Mother said you can't touch cold water!" Wei Mingshen hurriedly followed.
Su Xueli, afraid he would see, waved him away, saying, "Don't worry about it, go back inside."
Wei Mingshen couldn't ignore it, so he came out and said, "Put your clothes there and I'll wash them. The water's so cold in winter, so please be careful."
Su Xueli refused: "It's okay, I'll wash with the water I just pressed."
The water in the hand pump is warm in winter.
Wei Mingshen said, "Silly girl, it's cold. The well was frozen at night. Our father turned off the water before dinner, so there's no way to pump water out."
Su Xueli then remembered and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to wash with hot water."
He followed me into the kitchen and said, "Why don't you just let me wash it?"
"Hey, go back quickly!" Su Xueli protected the basin with both hands.
Wei Mingshen, puzzled, jokingly asked, "Do you have gold hidden under this basin?"
Su Xueli pushed him and said, "Hurry up and go, hurry up and go."
Seeing her insistence, Wei Mingshen had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, you can wash it yourself, but you have to use hot water, otherwise my mother will scold me to death if she finds out."
As he spoke, he reached for the kettle, shook it, and said, "There's not much water left. We still need to drink more later, so let's boil some more water to wash."
After saying that, he lifted the lid of the pot, scooped a few ladles of water from the water vat into the pot, and was about to sit down under the stove to light a fire.
"Hey, you'd better leave now, I'm going to burn it." Su Xueli urged him to leave again.
Wei Mingshen sensed something was wrong, smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll go, I'll go."
After he left, Su Xueli quickly closed the kitchen door, sat down under the stove to boil water, and then mixed it with cold water to wash her dirty pants.
At night, your breath turns to ice, and clothes washed and hung outside quickly turn into icicles, so you usually hang your laundry inside when you wash it at night.
Su Xueli wrung out her pants and brought them inside.
Wei Mingshen saw that she was washing three sets of pants: underwear, fleece pants, and outer trousers.
He seemed to understand now. No wonder she rushed to the toilet and wouldn't let him wash up earlier; it turned out...
To avoid embarrassment, she draped her pants over a bamboo pole, while he, preoccupied with the little figurine in his hands, pretended not to see her.
Su Xueli finished hanging up her pants and saw a bowl of prepared brown sugar water on the table. She stared at the bowl of brown sugar water for several seconds before picking it up and slowly drinking it with both hands.
“Go to bed, I’ll finish dyeing these,” Wei Mingshen said to her.
Su Xueli looked at the remaining tuft of thatch on the ground, sat down, picked it up, and said, "Finish weaving this tuft of thatch before you go to sleep."
She had just finished drinking a bowl of water and would have to get up at night to sleep.
