Xu Qigang and his wife disappeared for a month.
A whole month without a trace, and no one went looking for them. Little brother started to talk about them every day, but later, Uncle Meng Ping took him everywhere to play, and he soon forgot his real parents.
For Sheng Ning, this month was... sigh... hard to explain.
How bold she was before marriage, and now how timid she has become.
Weren't her old wounds supposed to recur?
Weren't the three bullets in her body supposed to be taken out?
Sheng Ning felt she must have hired a quack; the diagnosis must be wrong.
For most of this month, he drove her around all the places they visited before marriage— the supply and marketing cooperatives, the roadside grass they went to during a charity performance by the Song and Dance Troupe, the little forest at the Research Institute Rescue Association, um... and backstage at the grand auditorium.
