On the first day of work at 106

"Don't worry yourself sick, Tangtang's smart and strong, she won't have any problems."

"If you're still concerned, we can visit our daughter in a couple of days."

We might as well bring her the honey.

Li Xiuli also knew she was overthinking, but she couldn't help it.

Just the thought of her daughter living alone in a rented place was enough to keep her on edge.

Thankfully, Tangtang had grown much stronger, otherwise Xiuli might have worried herself to the point of rushing to the county overnight.

"You're right, but..."

"Enough with the 'buts.'" Lin Lu interrupted her, "Go to sleep already. If Tangtang knew you were this worried, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep either."

Li Xiuli sighed deeply, climbed into the kang, pulled the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes.

The next day, six o'clock.

Lin Tang woke up according to her usual biological clock.

Having changed beds last night, she tossed and turned until almost midnight before falling asleep.
