Xianghong was already cooking when Xia Xiao arrived. She said, "Ge Liang's medicinal bathwater is ready. Check if he's eaten his fill. If he has, wipe him down, then once the water is nice and warm, let him sit and soak in it. When the water starts to cool, call him out, and that's it."
Xia Xiao nodded and turned to Xia Jing, "Xiao Jing, keep boiling the water here to help out."
"Alright," Xia Jing replied.
Xianghong smiled and said, "Xiao Jing, go and help your sister. I can manage here by myself."
"I think I'll help you with the fire," Xia Jing said. "I often do chores at home too, Auntie. Just tell me if there's anything I can do."
"Both of you sisters are so capable." Xianghong did not refuse further; with Xia Jing helping her make the fire, her work would be a bit faster.
Meanwhile, Ge Liang had finished eating by the time Xia Xiao came over. She said to Gao Jiaxing, "Brother Gao, you should also take Hong Xing to have some porridge."
