"Come rest with me for a bit!" He Zhilan kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. She naturally rolled to the side closest to the wall, clinging to it like a gecko, laughing, "It’s quite cool this way~"

The elementary school children who had come home for vacation laughed and chattered as they passed by the door, greeting He Father and He Da with a cheerful shout, calling them Grandpa He and Uncle He.
He Father and He Da were chatting as they entered the house, leaping over the sweet potato vines used for feeding pigs as they made their way into the yard, dropping the load of vines beside the haystack.
