On a summer afternoon, the sound of insects and birds filled the air, the sun baked the concrete road, the street was steaming hot, but the alley was peaceful and comfortable.
All the elderly from the neighborhood gathered in the alley, sitting in a row and chatting.
Lin Qin cycled quickly through the alleys and arrived at Granny Liu's side; the alley was quite silent.
Without much thought, she pushed her bicycle inside. Just as she knocked twice on Granny Liu's door, a loud noise came from the Liu family.
Lin Qin instinctively looked over, just as the door opened.
Seeing Lin Qin, Granny Liu was evidently very surprised. She was stunned for a few seconds and quickly invited her inside, "Come in, come in, it's so hot outside, don't just stand at the door."
"Granny, I feel the alley is quite cool." Lin Qin said as she pushed her bicycle inside.
Granny Liu quickly closed the door and even bolted it.
Lin Qin was full of questions, "Granny, why are you locking the door!"
