Where does Thebedi put her shoes when Paulus is back from boarding school?

From the text:

She put on her pair of shoes— white sandals, thickly Blarico-ed against the farm dust—when he was on the farm, but these were taken off and laid aside, at the river-bed.

One summer afternoon when there was water flowing there and it was very hot she waded in as they used to do when they were children, her dress bunched modestly and tucked into the legs of her pants.

Thebedi took off her shoes to go wading in the water.
