"Someone's knocking on the door. Hua Li, go open it."
In the kitchen, Hua Xiao poked his head out and shouted towards the main room.
She could hear the knock on the door from outside the yard even in the kitchen...
Who would knock on the door so early in the morning?
Hua Li also looked confused. He ran out of the main room and went to open the door.
