"Okay, Mom is the best!" Jiayin snuggled up to her mother and nestled happily in her arms.

Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard gate, which was especially clear in the dark night.

The lights were turned back on in all the rooms of the Li family home. Li Zhensheng, Li Lao Er, and Jiayi were the first to open the door and go out.

It turned out that the patrol team had accompanied Liu Zhiheng. When Liu Zhiheng saw the Li family members dressed haphazardly, he quickly said, "Oh dear, I'm sorry for coming so abruptly. I rushed here as fast as I could, but we still didn't arrive until midnight."

"Brother Liu, where are you from? Come in and sit down. Have you eaten?" Li Zhensheng quickly opened the courtyard gate and led Liu Zhiheng inside.

Li Lao Er tried to give way to the old men on patrol, but was refused. The old men greeted him and went on with their work.
