At 4:17 the next morning, the diligent Master Qin got up early to wash up and met Mr. Xu, who had also risen early and was neatly dressed, in the front yard.
The moment he saw the spirited Mr. Xu, Qin Huai's first thought was that old age does not deceive me; elderly people do sleep less.
Yet Qin Huai thought that when he gets older, he definitely won't sleep less. When he was young, he had to wake up early every day. When he retires, he's determined to sleep until after 9 a.m. Even if he wakes up and can't fall back asleep, he will insist on lying in bed until 9 before getting up!
"Good morning, Mr. Xu," Qin Huai cheerfully greeted Mr. Xu.
"Happy New Year, Master Qin!" Mr. Xu also greeted Qin Huai with a smile, "I've boiled a pot of hot water, would you like some tea?"
Qin Huai couldn't bring himself to let Mr. Xu make tea for him. After asking where the hot water was, he immediately expressed that he must make tea for Mr. Xu and invited Mr. Xu into the kitchen.
