At one o'clock in the early morning, Li Dajing shuffled in his slippers, groggily went to the yard to urinate, feeling refreshed he shook his body, but when he turned around, he was dazzled by the light from the next yard, reflexively covering his eyes with his hand and snapping to awareness.
Curious, he cocked his ear to listen, he could hear people murmuring softly, but couldn't make out what was being said. He then moved a stool that had been placed under the eaves against the wall, stood on his tiptoes to take a look over, and saw members of the Li family, old and young, gathered around a pile of jujubes, picking them into a sack. Under the eaves, there was already a row of filled sacks.
Li Dajing watched for a while, then "swooshed" down from the stool and tiptoed back inside, relentlessly teasing his wife Wang Cuixia with smiles.
"Nuts!" muttered Wang Cuixia, dissatisfied, and turned over to continue sleeping.
