Rural areas always eat early and go to bed early. Now in mid-September, with over half a month until the harvest next month, Qingyun Team's households usually have dinner around four o'clock. After dinner, those who love to visit others do, while those who don't keep their doors firmly shut.
In the Lin Family, Mrs. Lin had worked too hard in her earlier years and generally went to sleep shortly after dinner. It'd be no earlier than ten o'clock the next day before anyone looked for her because she had to gather baskets of pig feed early every morning before she could even eat breakfast.
It definitely wouldn't be until eleven or twelve o'clock the next day that Mrs. Lin would notice her absence.
As Lin Aiguo was a well-known bachelor in the village, he would gather with other bachelors in the evening for small bets—a leisure activity to pass the time for this group of men deemed undesirable for marriage.
