After lunch, Xiao Yeyang was punished by Gu Jian to wash the dishes.
Watching Xiao Yeyang dutifully clean up the dining table, Daohua stood to the side, secretly amused. However, her joy was short-lived as she noticed her master staring at her and she immediately offered an embarrassed smile.
Gu Jian snorted and said, "It takes two hands to clap. He made mistakes, but you are at fault too. Go to the kitchen and help stoke the fire."
Daohua: "...Yes."
Defu and Wang Manman wanted to follow and help, but they were both intimidated by Gu Jian's sharp gaze and backed away.
In the kitchen, after Daohua had prepared the hot water for washing the dishes, Xiao Yeyang finished tidying up the dining table.
Looking at the stacked bowls, chopsticks, and plates, Xiao Yeyang felt at a loss as to where to begin. He had become quite skilled at stoking the fire, but this was his first attempt at washing dishes.
