However, she did not rush to wash the dishes. Instead, she took the pot off the stove and lifted the lid against the wall. There was steam inside and white smoke came out immediately.
This was the water for them to wash their faces and feet. She filled a basin with hot water and came to the hall.
Qin Han and Zhu Likang were discussing going to town to sell mushrooms tomorrow when they saw Zhu's mother walk in and interrupt their conversation.
The two men hurriedly stood up and tried to take the basin from her.
Mother Zhu didn't care about the weight. She walked straight in and put the basin on the table.
Seeing this, Zhu Likang immediately took down the towel hanging on the bamboo pole, which he usually used to wash his face.
Just when he was about to ask Team Leader Qin to wash it first, he suddenly remembered that Team Leader Qin seemed to have mysophobia and was afraid that he would mind that this was the towel he had used. He was just about to ask his mother if there were any clean, unused towels at home.
Mother Zhu shook her head apologetically. The towels at home had been used for several years, and she did not buy new ones because they were still usable.
Qin Han knew what Zhu Likang was thinking. He took the towel from him and put it into the basin of hot water.
Then she skillfully wrung out the water and washed her face. The whole process was done in one go. By the time he reacted, Qin Han had already washed his face.
The reason why Qin Han could accept that he only had one towel was that he had already cleaned the towel in his hand through the cleaning technique.
But ordinary people can't see it with the naked eye. However, Zhu Likang still found something wrong when washing his face. He clearly felt that his towel seemed to be much cleaner.
However, the water in the basin was so clean that it didn't look like it had been used to wash a towel.
Just when he was puzzled, Qin Han's words interrupted his thoughts: "Student Zhu, do you have any extra slippers?"
He didn't have to wash his face or feet, he could have just used the cleaning technique to clean himself. Everyone in Lao Qin's family knew that he had this ability, so even if he didn't take a shower, wash his face or feet at home, no one would think he was unhygienic.
But Zhu's family didn't know about it, so if he didn't wash, although they wouldn't say anything on the surface, they would probably label him as someone who doesn't like cleanliness in their hearts.
He doesn't like this kind of label at all.
Zhu Likang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, we have some at home, but they are the slippers my mother knitted last year, I don't know if you can wear them."
"It's okay, just put them on after washing your feet, and wear them when you get up tomorrow." Qin Han said indifferently.
Zhu Likang then went into the room to get a pair of slippers. After a while, he came out with a pair of clean slippers. There were beautiful patterns crocheted on the slippers, which showed at first glance that they were made by a skillful person.
Qin Han said thank you and sat on the bench to wash his face.
It is really comfortable to soak your feet in the winter. Zhu Likang sat aside and waited for him to finish soaking his feet before he did so.
Qin Han has mysophobia and really can't accept two pairs of big feet washing together, so he didn't ask him to wash together.
After he finished washing, Zhu Likang immediately took off his shoes and socks and put them in the footbath. He thought that the water would not be very hot since Squad Leader Qin had been washing for so long, but he didn't expect it to be still so hot, just right for soaking his feet.
While he was soaking his feet, Mother Zhu had already washed the dishes and walked into the hall.
She told her son to take good care of his classmates and not to grab the quilt at night, and reminded him to remember to lock the door. Then she went back to her room to sleep.
Soon Zhu Likang finished soaking his feet, closed the door, and took Qin Han into his room.
There weren't many things in his room, but it was very tidy. His bed was a wooden plank with a lot of straw on it, and then a layer of quilt. This way, even if one was sleeping alone, he wouldn't feel cold.
"Student Qin, do you want to sleep outside or inside?" Zhu Likang asked.
Qin Han didn't have to get up to go to the bathroom at night, so he said he would sleep inside. His answer surprised Zhu Likang a little, because he thought that Squad Leader Qin would definitely choose to sleep outside.
"By the way, if you want to go to the toilet at night, remember that the urine bucket is in the corner of the room." Zhu Likang pointed to the location.
Sure enough, Qin Han saw a dark urine bucket, but there was no urine in it.
It seems that Zhu's mother knew that he would live here and was afraid that the urine would have a bad smell, so she poured out the urine in advance.
Qin Han was touched by her attentiveness. Mother Zhu is truly a gentle and virtuous woman.
If Zhu's father hadn't died, perhaps their family of three would be very happy?
But there is no such thing as "if" in this world. Things that have happened are stored in our minds like images, except for some trivial matters, which leave no impression at all.
Lying on the bed, Zhu Likang turned off the lights and the room suddenly fell into darkness. After getting used to it, he could barely see some things.
Zhu Likang was still very excited and kept looking for topics to talk about. Qin Han responded intermittently.
Qin Han found it a bit irritating to see that he kept talking non-stop, so he quietly cast a spell on Zhu Likang that would make people fall asleep.
Zhu Likang was talking excitedly when he suddenly felt sleepy. He yawned several times, said good night in a daze, and then fell asleep.
Seeing that Zhu Likang finally fell asleep, Qin Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if he didn't stop them, they would talk until dawn. If that was true, then they might as well just not sleep.
Perhaps Zhu Likang was too tired, and he started snoring right after waking up. Although the sound was not very loud, it was still very abrupt in the quiet night.
Qin Han was practicing in the space. Listening to his snoring coming closer and closer, he immediately blocked out the outside sounds and began to concentrate on his practice.
