When Han Dongchen returned home, it was already late into the night, almost dawn. He wanted to go see Su Xiaowan but hesitated to disturb her, knowing this time was the sweetest for sleep.
The next morning, the loudspeakers at the parade ground announced a meeting to be held at noon in the mess hall. All family members were required to attend.
As soon as Su Xiaowan finished dressing, she heard a knock at the door. Wang Hong and her son Little Zhuang had come to visit. Su Xiaowan hugged and kissed Zhuang fiercely, which made him laugh. She gave him two pieces of candy before they left the house, not forgetting to call Zheng Haimei to join them.
Zheng Haimei also carefully dressed up today. This was the first time such a large meeting had been organized. Even though everyone knew why it was occurring, it didn't deter women from wanting to outshine each other.
