345 She's Quite Knowledgeable

Gu Zi was preparing to bathe Lele and decided to do the same for Shi Tou as well. She considered it a convenient task. 

Observing the copious amount of yellow mud spread across the ground, Su Shen realized it was a massive undertaking. Without delay, he called upon his two sons to continue the work. 

Boys, by nature, are fond of playing with mud, and they didn't find the task of kneading the mud into strips tiring. 

After Gu Zi had bathed the two children and dressed them in clean clothes - Shi Tou's clothes had been fetched from his home by Su Li at Gu Zi's request - she led them downstairs. Aunt Zhang was waiting there to take Shi Tou home and expressed her apologies for the inconvenience. 

Gu Zi assured her it was no trouble, and after seeing off Aunt Zhang, she turned to find that Su Shen and the boys had finished kneading the mud into strips. Indeed, many hands made work easier. 

The advantage of having many men in the house was evident.
