He Lai liked plum blossoms. He had planted a few in the house and they have already bloomed.
He Hu was sitting on an old chair with his eyes closed.
Mdm Xu was holding a dustpan and sifting rice at the side. An old hen and a bunch of chicks were guarding in front of her, chirping non-stop.
Holding a bundle of firewood, He Dong was about to enter the kitchen when he seemed to have caught sight of someone outside the door from the corner of his eye. His footsteps halted immediately.
He turned his head and saw Lu Sheng smiling at him.
"Cousins!"
He Dong placed the firewood aside and hurried over to open the door for the two of them.
"I brought you some food."
When Mdm Xu heard the commotion, she looked over. When she saw the two of them, she hurriedly stood up with the dustpan. "Lu Sheng and Lu Ran are here. Come in and sit."
Then, she kicked the old man's chair.
He Hu, who had just entered his dream, jolted awake.
