Li Mai thought for a moment, "Never mind, here, wrap your old clothes around your waist, I'll carry you straight out."
"No, could you go and call my second and third brothers over here?" Zhou Quan had tried twice and failed, and he felt bad. He didn't want her to carry him, afraid that he might hurt her.
“It’s so late, they’re probably all resting. Hurry up and do as I say. I can carry you. I’ve carried Li Dong before, and he was heavier than you.

Then, they emptied the water from the bathtub using a wooden basin, placed the bathtub outside, and used the same basin to rinse the clothes again before hanging them on a line in the yard.
