Many people had a rough night sleeping, including Madam Rong, of course.
She had practically spent the night with her eyes open.
If her daughter hadn't insisted on sending her to bed, she would have sat up all night in the living room.
The next day, before dawn, she got up.
Worried about disturbing her daughter, she tiptoed to the kitchen...
Qin Yu got up a bit after dawn, which, considering it was the dead of winter, was still quite early.
After getting up, he went to wash his face and brush his teeth.
This noise startled Madam Rong, who was cooking in the kitchen. She came out of the kitchen and, seeing the person sweeping the yard, quickly said, "Yu, why are you up so early? It's snowing, you shouldn't sweep the yard."
True enough, it had started to snow.
It was such a cold day, and this child was still so diligent. It made Madam Rong's heart ache for his sensibleness.
"Auntie, it's fine. I warm up as I sweep, I'm not cold at all. Don't worry about me, let me sweep."
