"Get your hot flatbread and steamed buns!"
"Get your hot flatbread and steamed buns!"
The next morning, the sky was clear, and sunlight filtered through the clouds to illuminate the land.
The shops in Taiping County gradually became lively, with bustling pedestrians and constant cries of vendors.
The courtyard where Shen Qing lived was not far from the bustling city, and early in the morning, he was awakened by the sounds outside the yard.
He sat up in bed, stretched lazily, and felt a long-lost comfort and peace.
Shen Qing grabbed his clothes from the foot of the bed and draped them over himself, then opened the door and walked out.
Outside the house, his uncle Shen the Second and aunt were already awake, each doing chores.
Compared to their excitement upon arriving for the first time yesterday, both were much calmer now, even showing a bit of boredom.
This was unavoidable; settling into a new environment naturally led to such feelings.
