After cleaning the entire house and yard, Ji Huan led Dabao by the hand for a leisurely visit to the Hu family.
The Hu family was bustling with activity. In fact, all of Dafeng Village was filled with the cheerful atmosphere of cleaning house to welcome the Lunar New Year.
Besides washing their tools and laundering their bedding, some people even hauled tables, chairs, benches, and large bed frames down to the river to scrub them clean.
Speaking of washing the bedding, Widow Xie was overjoyed.
"It's all thanks to you and your clever idea for that... what do you call it, a duvet cover. It keeps the quilt completely covered so it doesn't get dirty. You just have to take the cover off and wash it. It's so much easier! Not like other families who have to take their quilts completely apart..."
