After Han Xiangning washed up, the ginger soup was almost ready. He watched her drink a bowl, then hurried back to the dormitory to fetch a change of clothes and take a shower.
Having tidied up the sheets and bedding, they rushed to the shipyard where Old Qian was playing chess with the gatekeeper, Old Chen.
The two politely greeted with "Uncle Qian, Uncle Chen" and carried the bedding to the command cabin of boat 001.
