Gu Xijue had already finished taking a shower, but he continued to fight with the cluttered clothes in the washing machine. Black trousers, white shirts, and beige woolen sweaters were all thrown together for washing. The result was dire.
Unexpectedly, his white shirt was stained. He hurriedly took it out and put it in a basin to wash by hand. However, the clothes were almost torn and still couldn't be washed clean, and the black pants were stained with woolen sweaters.
He was plucking the tiny hairs that had fallen off one by one, and his face turned red from exhaustion.
Xi Haitang's eyes narrowed slightly. How could a person with such a brain become the CEO in charge of Jinjue?! He had no common sense at all!
Gu Xijue was also at a loss, and with her heart pounding, she cautiously informed, "Um...there seems to be something wrong with the washing machine. It suddenly stopped halfway through the cycle..."
"What?!" Xi Haitang was shocked. He quickly looked and found that there was a burning smell permeating the drum of the washing machine. He frowned and glared at him, "Why didn't you call me if you didn't know how to use it?!"
"I knocked on the door, but you didn't answer... I thought you were angry..."
She frowned even more tightly, "Am I angry?! Why should I be angry?!"
"Because of what happened at the maternal and child health center..."
Xi Haitang felt powerless and sighed heavily, "Gu Xijue, please don't be so sentimental, okay? I'm not angry. I don't have the time and energy to be angry. Just let me worry less!"
She drooped her shoulders almost in frustration. This washing machine seemed to be broken. She didn't know if it could be repaired. If it couldn't be repaired, it would cost a lot of money! She didn't care about it. She could wash clothes by hand, but Xiaochen
He Yunhen's school uniform must be worn every day, and it must be dried after washing at night. It is absolutely impossible without a washing machine!
He seemed to have read her thoughts and said timidly, "I will send someone to deliver a new one tomorrow. I'll buy a fully automatic one. If you don't want this old one, just don't do it..."
"Get out of here!" she said coldly.
"Begonia..."
"go out!"
boom--
The bathroom door is closed.
Gu Xijue knew that she had said the wrong thing and wanted to knock on the door hard, but was afraid of waking up the children, so she was at a loss for a moment.

"Daddy..." Yunhen got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, rubbing his eyes and walking out of the children's room, a little confused, "Daddy, when did you come back? Why are you still up so late?"
"Yunhen, daddy wants to ask you, do you know how to use the washing machine inside?"
"Yes!" Yunhen nodded naturally, but then added, "I didn't know how to do it at first, Xiaochen taught me it, and I learned it twice."
Gu Xijue finally found some comfort. This was his first time using it, so it was understandable that he wouldn't!
Xiaochen was finally woken up. He walked out of the room with a confused face and hugged the bear doll, "What are you doing up at midnight?"
As if she had found a savior, Gu Xijue quickly curried favor with her daughter, "Xiaochen, daddy just accidentally broke the washing machine. Go in and talk to your mami and tell her not to be angry. Daddy will send someone to deliver a new one tomorrow."
.”
After listening to his words, Xiaochen's little face turned dark, and he walked over and knocked on the door, "Mommy, I need to go to the toilet..."
Xi Haitang quickly opened the door, and Xiaochen's little arms quickly hugged her waist, "Mommy, are you angry with Daddy?"
"No."
"Mommy is lying, but daddy is indeed too stupid. I will join you this time and despise him together!"
Xi Haitang was amused by Xiaochen's words and ruffled her hair, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this at this late hour. Xiaochen needs to go to the toilet, so hurry up and go back to the house to sleep."
"Um!"
Xi Haitang helped Xiaochen take the bear doll out of the bathroom. When he saw the father and son standing stupidly outside the door, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Go back to bed quickly!"
Just as he finished speaking, Xiaochen's voice came from the bathroom again, "Ah?! There's no water!"
The little head popped out from the crack in the door, "Mommy, there is no water in the water tank! There is no way to flush the toilet!"
Xi Haitang glared at Gu Xijue, "How much water did you use to wash two pieces of clothes?!"
"..." Gu Xijue was at a loss. He just washed it twice with the washing machine, and then found out that the shirt was stained, so he washed it several times in a basin... It was probably seven or eight buckets! Uh, no, he used it again later.
I washed my pants in a single basin, and used several basins... about a dozen buckets in total!
Xi Haitang was completely speechless, "Gu Xijue, do you know that the water supply here is not 24 hours a day? Except for the regular water supply during breakfast, lunch and evening meal times, water from the water tank is used at other times. You actually used it all night
All the water is gone!”
Yunhen also expressed helplessness, "That means we can't go to the toilet at night, and we won't be able to go to the toilet tomorrow morning either."
Xiaochen was the most confused, "But I just had sex..."
◎◎◎
Half an hour later, two large 50L barrels of drinking water were carried upstairs. Gu Xijue graciously gave an extra two hundred yuan as a tip after paying for the water and freight, "Sorry, I asked you to rush it in the middle of the night.
Thanks for your hard work."
"No hard work, no hard work, we are always here!" The water delivery man took the tip and left happily.
Xiaochen and Yunhen went back to the room to sleep again in a daze.
Gu Xijue also walked back to the room dejectedly. When he closed the door, he finally looked up to the balcony because of the guilt in his heart. Xi Haitang's profile with arms folded across his chest came into view.
He hesitated and walked over gently. He saw her expression was very tired. She looked up at him for a while and finally spoke slowly, "Gu Xijue, why do you always mess up my life?"
Where is the chaos?"
He was stunned and wanted to say something, but he didn't have time to say -
On the window sill behind her, there was a pot of improved epiphyllum. The white epiphyllum was blooming faintly. It was blooming in all its beauty in front of his eyes with an unstoppable force and an astonishing speed of the heart and soul. The vitality of a moment was frozen.
The flowers are blooming beautifully.
He pulled her shoulder and asked her to witness with him - a flash in the pan, just for Wei Tuo.
