In Erdao River Village, only three or five households had wristwatches or wall clocks.
Others solely relied on the position of the sun and the time announced over the public address system.
A group of children ran past, shouting at Asheng, "Meeting's starting, meeting's starting..."
And so, Song Yunuan, dragging Asheng along, started running as well.
The group of older children dashed off quickly, their laughter, giggling and guffawing, still audible in the distance.
Although certain that nothing was wrong, Old Mrs. Song and Xia Guilan, still uneasy at heart, felt much better.
Song Ting had an inexplicable confidence in Song Yunuan; she didn't tell them that Little Nuan left that actress speechless in the meeting room, for fear of worrying them about potential retaliation. She simply said, "If Little Nuan isn't worried, neither should you."
By the time she finished saying this, they had all arrived at the brigade headquarters.
The Wang family had all come.
