After the rain, Xiaofang and a few friends went up the mountain to pick mushrooms after 8 o'clock. Before leaving, he looked at the clock and saw that the hour hand and the minute hand were exactly overlapping. He returned home after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and upon entering the door, he saw that the hour hand and the minute hand were in opposite directions, forming a straight line. The question is, at what time did Xiaofang go to pick mushrooms, and at what time did he return home? How much time did he spend in total?
