Several months later…
"Swish, swish, swish..."
After lightly sweeping up the dust on the ground, Lu Sheng lowered his head, and looked up to the sky. It was late afternoon already.
The grape vine in the courtyard was full of grapes that looked like jade orbs, crystalline and clear, showing off a mysterious beauty under the light of dusk.
Inside the house, the spirited voice of an elderly man shouted, "Lu Sheng, the meal is ready, come eat."
Lu Sheng put the broom in one corner of the wall, dumped the trash in the dustpan into the trash can, and then slowly walked inside the room.
It was a little dim inside the room, but the oil lamp emitting a yellow glow was sufficient to light the simple room.
An old man whose face was full of wrinkles and looked so ancient he could drop dead at any moment was putting the vegetable congee on the rectangular table with his shaky hand, then proceeded to arrange the rest of the dishes.
