He opened his eyes to a bedroom from a distant memory. From outside the door came a familiar yet strange call.
"Xiaoxuan, hurry and eat your breakfast, it's time to go!"
Li Nianhua knocked on the door. After waiting a moment, she pushed it open and said with a smile:
"School starts today! My baby is going into the third grade. Third graders are big kids now, so no more sleeping in. Get up, quickly!"
In the warmth of his blanket, Lu Xuan, who was just over eight years old, sat up straight. His childish voice was a little hoarse as he called out softly:
"Mom."
"Alright now, hurry and get up. Your dad can drop you off at school on his way to work!"
After a pause, Li Nianhua added:
"When you're washing up, remember to brush your teeth a little longer. This is when you're most likely to get cavities. If you don't brush properly now, all your teeth will fall out by the time you're in your twenties or thirties!"
"Okay!"
