The next day
The morning sunshine accompanied by the gentle breeze filtered through the lush leaves outside the window, softly spilling inside.
Shen Qinglan shielded her eyes with her hand and took a good while before crawling out of bed.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
A sudden rapid knocking on the door sounded, followed by Shen Qingzhu's somewhat excited voice: "Third sister, third sister, get up, Uncle and I are going hunting on the mountain. Are you coming?"
Shen Qinglan stretched slowly, then replied leisurely: "I'm going."
She dressed and then opened the door.
Shen Qingzhu said: "Hurry up and freshen up, Uncle is still waiting for us."
Shen Qinglan looked up and indeed saw Shen He sitting in the yard, chatting with Shen Shan.
She went into the kitchen to rinse her mouth with salt, washed her face, and ate the cake made by Dong Yao before heading out together with Shen Qingzhu and Shen He.
