This is nothing to hide.
Shiyue answered frankly, "Yes, I want to visit relatives before the New Year when I'm not too busy."
"When are we going?" He Lixuan continued to ask.
"Let's wait a couple of days," Shiyue said. "I haven't gotten a letter of introduction from the brigade leader yet. I'll talk to him about it tomorrow."
He Lixuan paused for a moment, then said, "Let's go together. I'm going to the provincial capital too."
Shiyue was genuinely surprised this time!
She put down the kitchen knife in her hand and turned to look at He Lixuan: "What are you going to the provincial capital for? Will the team agree to let you go?"
As a newly arrived educated youth, how could the team approve his leave after only a few days?

The team takes this very seriously!
No one questioned He Lixuan about the reason; they immediately gave him a letter of introduction, allowing him to leave at any time.
It was only when Sun Yongfu casually mentioned that Shiyue was also going to the provincial capital in the next couple of days that He Lixuan learned about this news.
“Sister Shiyue, why don’t you come with my brother? The team leader said he can take my brother to the commune by mule cart, as long as we pay for the feed. If you go with him, you can save two hours of walking, and you can also look after each other on the way.”
Shiyue didn't answer immediately, but she had to admit she was a little tempted.
