Having been away from home for two days, Liu Ergou was anxious to return. He couldn't help but worry, having left his sister-in-law, Xu Yulan, home alone for those two days, and he was eager to know how she was doing.
However, when he rushed back, he found Xu Yulan wasn't there. She must have gone to work in the fields. He checked the time; it was only afternoon, so there was still a while before she would be back. After a moment's thought, he decided to take a short nap and then make dinner for her.
I've been away so often lately. My sister-in-law has been managing everything inside and outside the house all by herself. Now that I'm back, it's time I lent a hand.
With that in mind, Liu Ergou took out his phone, set an alarm for two hours, and went to rest.
Two hours passed in a flash. The alarm went off, waking the sleeping Liu Ergou.
