Gu Qingming had a good night's sleep and was woken up by the chirping of birds outside.
Her grandparents lived in the old house next door. Her eldest uncle's family lived in this new house.
Everyone knew that Gu Qingming was still sleeping, so the people who got up to work were tiptoeing. Even their two little nephews were reminded.
Her aunt wanted to sleep. They must not be noisy next to the house or the window. If they wanted to play, they should go outside lest they wake her with the noise.
But she was woken up by the chirping of insects and birds in the countryside and the crowing of roosters.
At dawn, the little birds outside began to chatter on the branches. Occasionally, they would whistle a few times and the rooster would crow.
Gu Qingming felt extremely comfortable hearing these voices.
Compared to the continuous roar of cars in the big city, the chirping of insects and birds in the countryside sounded more pleasant.
