Big Bull and Xuexue returned home, and Madam Xie, Aunt Li, and Chuner were all still awake, sitting at the front door waiting for their return.
Chuner, with the sharpest eyes, spotted their figures, bounced excitedly over to them, and looked back while running to shout to Madam Xie, "Mother, mother, sister and Big Bull Brother are back."
Madam Xie hastily stood up from the ground and looked toward the pitch-dark doorway, "Really? Where are they?"
"Up ahead, up ahead, I've seen them," Chuner said as her small figure disappeared into the inky blackness of the night.
Madam Xie extended her neck, worrying as she looked into the darkness and muttered to herself, "Oh dear, this little girl Chuner, I wonder if she's seen wrong? Why haven't they come back yet after so long?"
While fan-cooling herself, Aunt Li chimed in, "Don't worry, Chuner is a bright girl, her eyesight must be better than ours, she surely saw Xuexue and the others before running over."
Madam Xie replied, "I hope so."
