With more people, there is greater strength. By evening, three thick quilts were made.
Xinyan specially went to a nearby village, bringing back a basket of autumn pears. Everyone received a small pouch as a thank-you gift when leaving.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone left joyously with their pears.
Looking at the prepared room, Xinyan said, "Everything is ready, all that's missing is the return of the people."
Granny Zhang, now wholeheartedly hoping for her son's safe return, repeatedly touched the quilts on the kang, lost in her thoughts, murmuring, "Yes, just waiting for him to come back."
It was once thought that the Zhang Family was destined to have no descendants, who would have thought they'd be given hope again.
If a son can return safely, she can account to the ancestors of the Zhang Family, a sentiment others can't fully understand.
It was very late when Granny Zhang returned to her own room.
