"Xiao Qing, Xiao Min, wake up!"

Grandpa Xia got up early and knocked on the door of Li Qing and Xia Minmin's room.

"Grandpa, there's still plenty of time. We've set an alarm, so there's no rush," Xia Minmin said loudly from the bed.

After a while, they didn't hear any more noise outside the door, so Xia Minmin and Li Qing fell asleep again.

I had just fallen asleep when I vaguely heard my maternal grandfather's voice again.

"Grandpa, Xiaomin and I will sleep a little longer, it's still early." This time it was Li Qing who replied.

Xia Minmin had already gone to bed as soon as she heard her maternal grandfather's voice.

Grandpa Xia repeated this several times, but he still refused to give up waking Xia Minmin and Li Qing.

"Go open the door!"

"you go."

"You're the older sister, you go."

"You're the younger sister, you should go even more."

"I don't want to!"

"Then I don't want it either!"

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Min, are you up yet?"

"Want to go together?"

"Let's go together!"

Xia Minmin and Li Qing got up at the same time and walked to the door. When they opened the door, they saw that Grandpa Xia was already dressed and ready to leave at any time.

“Grandpa, it’s still early, it’s not even 6 o’clock yet. We booked the hotel shuttle for 7 o’clock, and there are no cars going before 7 o’clock,” Li Qing explained.

"Grandpa, let my cousin and I sleep a little longer. We definitely won't be late. Our suitcases are all packed, don't worry!" Xia Minmin added.

Grandpa Xia muttered, "I was just worried you'd be late! You two love to sleep! I had to take precautions!"

After Grandpa Xia's repeated efforts, the duo finally managed to shake off the drowsiness.

Seeing that the two of them looked unwell, Grandpa Xia didn't say anything more and turned back to his room.

Seeing that Grandpa Xia had left and returned to his room, Xia Minmin and the others closed the door and did not go to sleep anymore. After washing up, they took out their books to review their lessons.

thump thump thump…

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Min, are you ready? We need to get ready to go downstairs!" Sun Erni said.

Xia Minmin got up to open the door for her aunt.

Sun Erni was quite surprised that Xia Minmin and the other woman opened the door so quickly.

At this moment, Li Chunmei also came out of her room and went to Li Qing and Xia Minmin's room.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you come and call them too?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the two of them had already packed up."

“Why are you all so well-behaved today? You didn’t even need us to come and wake you up; you got up on your own,” Li Chunmei said.

Xia Minmin and Li Qing looked at Li Chunmei with bitter expressions; they desperately needed someone to confide in.

"Oh, what's going on here? You two," Li Chunmei said.

“It’s not my maternal grandfather. He knocks on our door at five o’clock to wake us up. We told him we set an alarm and wouldn’t be late, but he kept knocking on our door,” Xia Minmin said.

Li Qing added, "And they would knock on the door every five or ten minutes, waking us up as soon as we fell asleep, until they woke us up and opened the door. It was only 5:30 when we got up."

Li Chunmei and Sun Erni burst out laughing at the same time.

Xia Minmin glanced at the two heartless adults. "Is it that funny?"

“Who told you two to have criminal records? If you ask me, you deserve it!” Sun Erni said.

"Mom! Neither of us has ever been late!"

"Auntie, we set the alarm clock after estimating the time."

Li Chunmei glanced at her watch and said, "Alright! Alright! You two hurry up and pack up your books, we should go downstairs for breakfast."

"So early, does the hotel restaurant serve breakfast?" Xia Minmin had never gone downstairs for breakfast at 6:30 in her previous life.

"Yes, breakfast is served starting at 6:30. They gave us eight breakfast vouchers when we checked in, and we used them today," Li Chunmei said.

"Second Aunt, should we bring our luggage?"

"Take it with you! We'll check out right after we finish eating."

Xia Minmin checked the room and found nothing left behind. She then pushed her suitcase out.

"Mom, where are Dad and the others?" Xia Minmin asked.

"He and your uncle, your maternal grandparents, have already passed away."

When Xia Minmin and the other three appeared at the hotel restaurant, they had already finished their first round of breakfast. The hotel breakfast was a buffet with a wide variety of dishes that looked quite good.

"You guys hurry up and have breakfast," Grandpa Xia urged.

"Okay, Grandpa!"

"Okay, Grandpa!"

Li Chunmei and Sun Erni went to get breakfast as soon as they entered the restaurant.

Xia Minmin and Li Qing put their luggage on the table and went to get breakfast.

"I don't know where they got their personalities from, they're so slow and indecisive, they're like food that's never even hot enough."

“Dad, we’re eating! Can’t you be a little more civilized?” Li Zhonghua said.

Li Chunmei, who had gotten breakfast first, returned and said, "Dad, just say less! Besides, neither of them was late."

"I didn't say anything, so why are you all blaming me?" Grandpa Xia said, feeling a little aggrieved.

“Dad, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but look at you, you’re knocking on the kids’ door at five o’clock. They’re not like you and Mom, who are light sleepers. They’re at the age where they need the most sleep.” Sun Erni said, putting the plate on the table.

"I'm just worried they'll be late."

“Dad, the two children are young, but they know their limits. If they say they won’t be late, they won’t be. You, on the other hand, keep nagging them every time they go out. If this goes on, young people won’t want to go on trips with you anymore,” Li Zhonghua advised Xia’s grandfather.

"Okay, okay!"

Grandma Xia gloated from the side, "Your children and grandchildren still need to teach you a lesson. You have no idea that your dad woke me up at four o'clock today. I had to persuade him again and again before he went to knock on Xiaomin and the others' doors at five!"

Xia Minmin and Li Qing, who had brought back breakfast, felt fortunate upon hearing Xia's grandmother's words.

"Dad, this is outrageous! You're getting up at 4 AM for an 8 AM train?"

"Dad, you don't have to wake us next time. Just watch TV to pass the time when you wake up."

"Okay! I understand."

Xia Waigong is usually very good, but when it comes to taking a car or traveling, he can't help but feel anxious, afraid that he will be late, and he expects others to get up as early as he does.

The hotel's buffet breakfast was surprisingly good, and since it was early, everything was freshly made, and it tasted even better when it was hot.

It must be said that Xia Minmin and Li Qing managed their time very well. They checked out at 7:00 sharp, and the hotel shuttle they had booked arrived.

"Grandpa, look, seven o'clock is just right." Xia Minmin held up her watch to show her grandfather.

"Okay, I won't disturb your sleep anymore."

Grandpa Xia was a little embarrassed because of what happened that morning, so he gently nudged Xia Minmin, who was standing in front of him.

Xia Jianguo said, "Everyone, count your suitcases and bags. If there are no questions, we'll set off."

After the inspection, there were no questions, so everyone boarded the van heading to the train station.
