The next day.

Li Ting was woken up by the noise.

But her eyes were so sore that she didn't want to open them, so she turned over lazily in the quilt.

"Is the girl awake?"

The soft and loving voice reached Li Ting's ears. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes: "Mom?"

Li Taohong smiled and replied: "Hey!"

Li Taohong is 47 years old this year. Her skin is considered fair in the countryside. She has short hair and an oval face. Although her face has been carved by the wind and frost of the years, you can still see her good looks when she was young. The original body and the second brother Li Wei's charming peach blossom eyes are inherited from her.

After confirming that it was her mother, her slow brain finally restarted. She sat up with her messy long hair, "What time is it? Why are you here?"

As she spoke, she leaned over and picked up the watch on the bedside table.

7:10.

Fortunately, it was not too late. Thinking of this, she rubbed her eyes again. She and her mother-in-law cried bitterly last night. She must have cried a lot. Even if she applied ice towels before going to bed, she still felt uncomfortable now.

However, with that cry, the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart also dissipated.

Seeing the lady rubbing her eyes, Li Taohong, who was sitting on the kang, patted the pillow: "It's still early, if you are sleepy, take a nap." After running on the road for so many days, the lady was tired and thin.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. When did you arrive?" Li Ting shook her head, opened the quilt and sat down on the kang.

Seeing that the lady really didn't want to sleep, Li Taohong didn't force her. She turned around and handed her clothes that she had put at the end of the kang to her: "I just got here not long ago."

In fact, she and the old man had baked cakes on the kang all night last night. She took a nap for a while and set out at dawn.

If she hadn't been worried about disturbing her in-laws too early, she would have come earlier.

Li Ting didn't quite believe the "not long ago" her mother said, but she didn't ask for the truth. She quickly put on her clothes and turned around to fold the quilt, and saw her mother bending over to make the bed.

"What are you doing standing there? Go brush your teeth and wash your face."

Hearing this, Li Ting retracted her hand that was about to grab the quilt, and turned to get the toothbrush and towel on the dressing table.

Then, just before opening the door, she suddenly remembered that she was woken up.

She paused, withdrew her strength, and only opened the door a little.

Instantly, a clearer sound came in through the slightly opened door.

Most of the families in Xiangyang Brigade have two-room mud and thatched houses with north and south kangs. Huo's house is a rare brick and tile structure in the village.

The house was newly built the year before last, facing north and south, with three rooms in a herringbone shape. The kitchen was built alone on the west side, with the door facing east.

The place where Li Ting lives now is the master bedroom of the Huo family's east wing.

The door faces the living room, so she can see the situation outside clearly.
