On Saturday, whether Mom Fu's alarm went off or not, Fu Ying certainly didn't hear it. When she woke up, it was already past eight. Weekends were no paradise; Fu Ying's mind was already racing with a mountain of chores.
After boiling some noodles for breakfast, Fu Ying prepared to tackle the day head-on. A whole week's worth of laundry had piled up. Though she hadn't expected Mom Fu to wash it, Mom Fu genuinely hadn't touched a single item.
To make the scrubbing easier, Fu Ying used hot water. She piled the dirty clothes from the past few days, along with the school uniform she would need for the coming week, next to a large basin, then pulled over a small stool and sat down to wash everything by hand. It hadn't rained recently, so the laundry should dry by tomorrow without missing Monday's wear. Without a washing machine to spin out the moisture, heavy coats were terribly difficult to dry.
