After a while, Mrs. Jiutiao emerged in a thin house dress and saw Dubian Che washing dishes. She said,
"Tomorrow the boat will dock, and people will come to take care of these things."
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
"Do whatever you want," Mrs. Jiutiao walked over to the counter. "Bartender, please give me a whisky with water, on the rocks."

"I didn't have money before; now that I do, I never thought about hiring a housekeeper."
"Do you wash your own clothes?"
