It's about a thousand kilometers from the provincial capital to Suifeng. It takes two days and two nights by train, and then you have to transfer again.
After getting into the car, Shiyue was sincerely grateful to Uncle Shen.
Without his help, He Lixuan and I would have had to sit the whole way.
If you can't even get a seat, you'll probably have to stand...
The thought of that possibility sent a shiver down her spine.
The two of them had a good start to their journey.
Before boarding the bus, they bought a lot of food and drinks. They ate, drank, and slept on the bus, so the time didn't pass too easily.
Shiyue had been in the news for the past few days because she had posted a purchase request in the group. Among them, a person named Shiqi caught her attention.
Seventeen hadn't spoken much in the group chat before, so Shiyue wasn't familiar with him.
After hearing his self-introduction, Shiyue learned that his family owned a local produce store.
He said that business was very bad because of the mask shortage, and now his physical store has closed. He plans to sell off the remaining stock online.
Seventeen was because Shiyue came to her door seeking cotton-padded clothes and trousers.
He said he had a batch of old cotton-padded jackets that were previously specifically designed for elderly people in rural areas, as well as some thick fleece pants, and asked if Shiyue wanted them.
Seventeen said that although the style of those clothes wasn't great, the materials were good. They were all made of genuine new cotton and were thickly quilted, so he was sure he wouldn't regret buying them!
Shiyue didn't know what the mask relationship meant, but the phrase "new cotton, thick and fluffy" really touched her.
Isn't this what she wanted?
She immediately ordered a cotton-padded jacket and a pair of fleece trousers, wanting to check the quality first.
The goods arrived very quickly.
"I'm going upstairs to take a nap." Shiyue stood up decisively so that He Lixuan wouldn't find out anything.
He Lixuan, who was sitting next to her staring out the window in a daze, seemed to have just come to his senses. He hummed in response and then looked at his watch: "It's only ten o'clock. Are you going to sleep again?"
"I'm not going to sleep, I'll just lie down for a while. It's a bit cold sitting down there," Shiyue explained.
Since there were more than just the two of them in the private room, they couldn't talk much in the car, and it wasn't even appropriate for them to sit close together.
So, aside from meals or going out, the two of them would have brief exchanges along the way, but they didn't talk much.
Hearing that Shiyue said it was a bit cold, He Lixuan took off his military overcoat and draped it over her quilt on the upper bunk.
Shiyue didn't refuse and climbed up.
Shiyue couldn't really fall asleep. She lay down facing inward and then let her consciousness sink into the small house.
At that moment, the cotton-padded jacket and woolen trousers that Seventeen had sent were placed on her table.
The cotton-padded jacket was made of fine corduroy, with a dark blue base and large, light-colored flowers printed on it.
Shiyue thought it looked pretty good, but she didn't know why Shiqi kept emphasizing that "although the style is old-fashioned".
However, she didn't dwell on this.
She pressed the thickness with her hand and thought it was okay, but it was still a bit different from what she had expected.
The main problem is that such a cotton-padded coat might not be very effective at keeping up with the cold weather in Suifeng.
She touched the pants again and realized that they felt different from the cotton-padded jacket.
I looked inside and sure enough, there was hair!
Shi Yue could tell that it wasn't animal fur, but a kind of artificial imitation.
But it's okay, at least it feels nice to the touch.
Yes, these are much more comfortable than the new thick fleece pants she's wearing now.
Shi Yue quietly turned her head and looked down, and saw that He Lixuan had also crawled into the quilt and was now leaning against the carriage, resting with his eyes closed.
The two people sitting opposite them had both left.
Shiyue took the pants out of the small room, took off her own fleece pants in bed, and put on the pants.
That feels so good!
Shiyue discovered that the pants were not only form-fitting, but also very stretchy!
This means it can fit snugly against the body without letting in any air!
This pleased Shiyue greatly.
She immediately contacted Seventeen again.
"@Seventeen, do you have any thicker fleece pants? I'm going to the coldest place in the north. What about a cotton-padded coat? Do you have any that are a bit tight-fitting but also thicker?"
Before Seventeen could reply, the others in the group started making noise.
"@Shiyue, are you going to Northeast China for a trip? You'd better dress warmly for this time of year, the snow hasn't melted yet!"
"What do you mean the snow hasn't melted? I just came back from there last week, and it was still snowing there!"
"@Shiyue, don't buy any cotton-padded coats and trousers when you go there, right? Are you taking your elderly relatives with you? Take my advice and just buy them a good set of thermal underwear, then wrap them in a thick down jacket, or get them a good quality windproof jacket. It's lightweight and warm. It's much better than those old cotton-padded coats and trousers."
"Well, you can't say that. Maybe it's because older people don't want to buy too many things, or they're reluctant to spend too much money on 'Shiyue'?"
Many people in the group are now familiar with Shiyue and know that she lives at the foot of the mountain.
I have some understanding of her financial situation.
When I heard someone mention thick down jackets and windbreakers, I offered a few words from Shiyue's perspective.
But Shiyue's trip to Suifeng was to deliver things to the two elderly people, and she wouldn't hesitate to spend money at a time like this.
Besides, Shiyue isn't exactly short of money right now.
She transferred 1,200 yuan from those 100 gift boxes alone.
Although she still had to give the team 20 yuan, Ming'er later gave her another 200 yuan red envelope.
So she immediately asked, "Does anyone in our group sell down jackets? Or maybe a windbreaker?"
