Even after two lifetimes, Gu Yan never forgot how things were during the New Year at Zhang Lan's home.
That was when she was forcefully asked to render labor several times than usual.
She had to finished general cleaning, wipe the dust on the ceiling, polish the glass and mirrors, as well as wash all the blankets and quilts.
The blanket covers in the villages back then were all sewn with cloth and rugs.
When it came to washing them, they had to be taken apart, washed, and dried. By then, they would harden to the point you could beat someone with them. Following such, you had to sew everything back together.
