Jiang Xianmei chuckled softly, seemingly touched by Pei Jingchuan's concern, her voice gentle and kind, "I woke up when I heard the noise outside. Seeing that you two hadn't gone to bed yet, I thought I'd come down and check on you."
Pei Yanqing stepped forward a few paces, with a hint of mischief in his smile, "We were setting off firecrackers in the yard, Aunt, we didn't wake you, did we?"
Jiang Xianmei shook her head, her smile filled with understanding, "No, no. I know you young people like the excitement. But, it's already so late, you should also rest soon."
Pei Jingchuan looked out the window, noticing the depth of the night, then turned to Jiang Xianmei, "Aunt, you should rest early too. We're going upstairs now."
Jiang Xianmei nodded, then her gaze swept over the two with tenderness, "Okay, make sure to take care of yourself. I hope you are happy every day in the new year."
