Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 20 - 0 I’ve Washed It for Them

——————

"Not a trouble at all, Mother. You go and fetch clothes for Little Five and Xiaoqi, I'll help them wash up. Which towel do they use?" Zhang Shanni looked at her two adorable and well-behaved little nieces and genuinely couldn't bear to see them dirty, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. While speaking, she began preparing the bathwater.

There were several towels hanging on the wall, and she didn't really know which belonged to whom.

"That little red towel is for the two girls, next to it are Xiao Liu and Xiao Si's, and the large ones are for the adults." As for her several grandsons, their towels were always kept in the left wing, and they would bring towels, basins, and clothes over when it was time for a bath.

"Alright, Mother, you watch over them while I wash up for them," Zhang Shanni glanced at the wooden tubs in the room and had a general understanding. She quickly filled two tubs with warm water, using one for bathing and the other for the two little girls to soak in.

She didn't see any shower gel, as such advanced daily necessities didn't exist at this time. There was soap, though, which looked very rough.

Having no choice, Zhang Shanni knew very well about soap—using it normally is fine, but in winter, it can make skin particularly dry. Thankfully, it was just the beginning of autumn. She rubbed a bit of soap onto Xiaoqi's head and scratched her somewhat long and yellow hair, making sure to dissolve all the mud in her hair.

She then rubbed some soap twice over her small body, gently massaging her all over before rinsing her clean, and finally placed her in the other tub. The hot water came just up to her neck when she sat down.

Xiaoqi was rather small and would move around if uncomfortable. When it came to washing Little Five, she was very cooperative, helping with her own undressing, and would obediently close her eyes when told. Warm water poured over her body, she didn't get a bit scared like Xiaoqi, instead, she comfortably squinted her eyes.

Seeing Zhang Shanni skillfully wash Little Five's body, Zhou Xiuhua smiled and said she would go fetch clothes before exiting the bathroom.

Zhang Shanni crisply acknowledged with a "Mhm," and let the two little ones soak in the bath. She soaked their clothes, giving them a few vigorous rubs, and although the two little girls' clothes combined were not as large as an adult's shirt, she didn't dare rub too hard. Quickly, she scrubbed the dirtiest parts of the clothes. In this rural area, yellow mud stained easily, but now that the clothes are made of coarse cloth, adding some soapberry made them quite easy to clean.

"Second Aunt, you're so nice!" Little Five, feeling very comfortable in the warm water, which reached just to her chest, supported Xiaoqi cooperatively. Xiaoqi, always sweet-mouthed, immediately repeated Little Five's words after hearing her sister.

"Little flatterer! Just a couple more minutes of soaking will do, soaking too long can make the skin ugly, you know?"

"We know."

Zhou Xiuhua's face showed contentment, seeing both granddaughters looking comfortable and well-behaved, she quickly left the bathroom and briskly entered the main hall. She mentioned Zhang Shanni's loving actions to Grandpa and San'er, concluding with an overjoyed expression: "This Ni, her heart is in the right place!" And her hands and feet are even more diligent!

The last sentence Zhou Xiuhua did not voice out loud, but the smile on her face clearly expressed it. As she satisfactorily shared her feelings, she hurried into her room to get small clothes for her two granddaughters.

"Not bad at all," Xie Tiesheng said with equal satisfaction.

Xie Jingchen didn't speak, but the smile on his face deepened, and Xiao Yi through Xiao Si, who were already sensible, all felt happy for Uncle.

Zhou Xiuhua took some clothes out and before she left, she said to the oldest, Xie Yuye, "Xiao Yi, help Xiao Si and Xiao Liu tidy up their clothes, and when Xiao Wu and Xiaoqi come out, you give Xiao Si and Xiao Liu a bath."

"I know!" Xie Yuye, who had been questioned, nodded. It was always either him or Xiao'er who bathed Xiao Si and Xiao Liu. Xiao San, being only nine years old, would do well just to wash himself clean!

In rural areas, it's always about saving wherever possible. Once night fell and it became too dark to see, Zhang Shanni hurried back to the left wing with Xie Jingchen.

"Little girl, you go back to your room first. I'll bring in water for you to wash," said Xie Jingchen. The small partition in the kitchen only had a cloth curtain without a proper door. The household's nephews had grown up, and even if they were the younger generation, it was not something to be careless about.

Xie Jingchen was a man with a very strong sense of possession. Since the time he saved Zhang Shanni, his actions had subconsciously included her in the group of 'his' women.

For fear that others would see, the moment they came ashore, he immediately wrapped her wet body in his long coat. When the original host's mother wanted to harm her, he also immediately stood in front of her, not letting Shanni suffer any disadvantage.

"Okay." Zhang Shanni felt there were no outsiders around and unconsciously showed signs of fatigue. Hearing his words, she nodded naturally. After seeing her own 'true face,' her guard against him was directly removed.

Why bother, the clothing of this era is both loose and thick, not the least bit attractive, nor flattering. Since the original host was petite and slender, who would notice her figure without disrobing?

Moreover, she didn't have much of a figure to speak of, and that exposed black skin made her want to let out an ironic chuckle!

Xie Jingchen brought two buckets of water in, both of almost the same temperature, and instructed her to take a dip in the bath. He also brought new toiletries for her, then quickly left with his imposing figure.

Zhang Shanni waited until Xie Jingchen was out before she brought the clothes into the small partition. She placed the toiletries on the half wall of the partition, setting aside her dirty clothes. She took out the unscented shampoo from the Space to wash her shoulder-length short hair bit by bit - she'd fallen into the river at noon, and at the thought, she felt uncomfortable all over.

No matter how tired, she felt this body was now her own; first and foremost, she had to get 'it' clean! She moved out all the protective products she had used before, washed herself, scrubbed clean, and after that, one bucket of water was used up. She scooped out a few more ladles of hot water into a clean basin beside her, only then starting to bathe and take care of her face simultaneously.

Thankfully, in the apocalypse for safer survival, she used products that were light and odorless on her body. One reason was to avoid attracting unwanted male attention, and the second was the fear of being calculated against by someone with ill intentions. After all, a woman who could still smell sweet in the apocalypse, without any strong backing, who would believe that?

Even Zhang Shanni herself wouldn't believe it. Unless brain-dead past help, everyone would have learned how to preserve themselves in the apocalypse.

The harsh reality was that those who didn't know how to preserve themselves usually turned into zombies at the onset of the apocalypse!

She was alive up to this point, obviously not stupid.

However, her strength was indeed not as great as her scumbag ex-husband's, who, driven by the 'fatherly' instinct to sacrifice her for the life of his biological son, was much more formidable!

As for this realistic outcome, she had nothing to complain about.
