Li Qiao rode her bicycle to the entrance of the village and, sure enough, saw lights shining in the direction of home.
Old Mrs. Qin chided, "Why so late? You had me worried sick." Seeing her granddaughter-in-law, she finally felt at ease.
Li Qiao was glad she had rushed home through the night; otherwise, her grandmother wouldn't have been able to sleep. She was deeply moved, feeling fortunate to have a relative in another world who cared for her so deeply.
She said with a soft smile, "There was some overtime work at the office. You should have gone to bed earlier."
"How could I sleep without hearing from you? Have you had dinner?"
Li Qiao: "I have." There was no shortage of food at the department, and they even had duck tonight.
"There's hot water in the pot. Mix it yourself for a wash. I'm off to sleep," Old Mrs. Qin said with a yawn as she went inside.
"Alright."
