One month was considered neither long nor short. The day that An Xiaoning had been waiting for finally arrived.
On this very day, the skies were clear and vast.
The weather was more pleasant than ever.
An Xiaoning woke up bright and early in the morning to feed the sheep and chickens.
She then cleaned the yard and garden before proceeding to make some breakfast by herself, despite having substandard culinary skills.
After having breakfast together, Xiao Huang and his colleagues took charge of washing the dishes.
An Xiaoning and the elderly man were the only ones left in the room.
They sat down facing each other, both smiling widely.
"You're really such a patient lass. I believe you'd be willing and patient enough even if I made you stay here for a year. But, I'm not such an unreasonable person. I reckon you must be extremely eager and anxious to know your husband's fate. I shall reveal it to you right now," said the elderly man.
