Qiao An'an gave one bed each to Gu Bei and Gu Bei's grandfather, one bed to Chi Xiaoyu, and kept one bed for herself to share with Ya Ya.
She brought several down jackets, which should be enough for everyone. However, the down jackets were all adult sizes. Ya Ya could wear them and perform a big opera, but she would trip over them with every step she took. She was sweating profusely but didn't want to take them off.
Qiao An'an had no choice but to take it off for her herself.
While helping Ya Ya take off her clothes, Qiao An'an didn't forget to tell Chi Xiaoyu and the others how Shen Zhou had blocked her companions' view because of Chi Xiaoyu's arrow. As she spoke, she happily hugged Chi Xiaoyu: "Thanks to Xiaoyu, otherwise I would have been dead today."
Grandpa Gu Bei was very pleased after hearing this: "Knowing how to repay kindness, that's truly the spirit of us Jun people."
Qiao An'an nodded, agreeing with Grandpa Gu Bei: "I think at least we can be sure that he won't attack our courtyard on his own initiative."
Grandpa Gu Bei remembered the bag of sweet potatoes he had brought back from the supermarket: "The corn in the back yard isn't ripe yet.

Qiao An'an: "It should be okay, right?"
Gu Bei was fed up with his upside-down lifestyle. After overhearing his grandfather and Qiao An'an's conversation, he couldn't help but ask, "Does that mean we can go outside to play now, instead of sleeping during the day and being active at night?"
Qiao An'an felt that it was okay not to sleep during the day and be active at night, but: "It's better not to play in the yard when there's nothing to do."
They still couldn't leave the courtyard, and Gu Bei and Ya Ya were both very unhappy; it was too stuffy inside.
Grandpa Gu Bei looked at the bag of sweet potatoes and started to worry again: "Autumn is coming, and the sweet potatoes will be damaged by frost. We need to build greenhouses after planting them, but we can't find any plastic film anywhere in your house. Without film, we can't build greenhouses..."
