One possible version:
My parents went to Wuhan as volunteers as medical staff. One day, they called me they would come back, so I decided to clean up the house to make them happy. After having breakfast, I did the dishes. After that, I began to clean the living room. I swept the floor, cleaned the windows and took out the rubbish.
After having a break, I began to do some washing. At about half past eleven, I finished all the chores. I was tired but happy.
When my parents got home, they were surprised to find I did so many chores and made the house so clean. They said “Dear, you really did a good job! Thank you.” Hearing this, I was really proud of myself.
