When the long night was over and morning arrived, Ye Ling woke up, got down from the bed lightly, and got dressed.
He went downstairs to find all his brothers had already woken up.
"Morning, Yang, Liu, Mo."
The four washed up by the well. Ye Ling asked the other three, "Shall we have porridge today?"
"Sure, anything will do. We love eating whatever you make," Ye Liu said with a smile.
Ever since Liu Duo had arrived at their house, Ye Ling would ask for their opinions on meal choices.
Ye Yang finished washing up, got a broom, and started sweeping.
He opened the front door to find Grandmother Liu and the other two still sitting at the entrance, huddled on the ground against the wall.
They hadn't left throughout the whole night. Ye Yang didn't even say anything or show any emotion as he resumed his chores.
The sound of his sweeping the yard could be heard. Slowly, the three woke up.
When she saw Ye Yang sweeping the fallen leaves, Grandmother Liu shot wide awake.
