Although it doesn't look fashionable or decent without a suitcase, it is still much better than using a snakeskin bag.
The sun was very strong when they arrived in Ning City. Their thick cotton-padded jackets were useless, but there was nowhere to stuff them, so they could only tie the sleeves to the luggage straps.
When leaving the station, Chen Ming carried two big bags and Xu Manman carried two schoolbags. However, this time, when walking out of the train station gate, Xu Manman did not forget to sign in for the map. Although it might not be needed, it is better to have it than not.
They had discussed the itinerary over the phone before departure. Those from Hai City would not arrive in Ning City until tomorrow, so Xu Manman and the others would rest in Nan City for a day today, and then go to the island together when they arrived tomorrow.
They still stayed in the guesthouse where their eldest brother brought them to rest last time. Xu Manman took the key, went in, put down her luggage first, and then went downstairs with Chen Ming to get some hot water to prepare to wash.
Taking a train in winter is much better than in summer, but you’ll always be stuck in a cramped space, so it won’t be much better.
Xu Manman returned to the space and, with the help of Xiao Jin, rubbed herself from head to toe, and took care of her skin which had become a little dry after riding in the car for the past few days.
Doctor Jin touched the dark circles under Xu Manman's eyes and felt a little distressed. She had been on the train for these days, with so many people and so much noise, she probably didn't sleep well.
"Manman, take a nap if you're sleepy. I'll call you when Brother Ming comes over."
"No need. I have to go out for dinner with my cousin later. It's the same if I go to bed early when I come back tonight." She always felt that she didn't get enough sleep on the train, but as soon as she arrived at the destination, Xu Manman felt a little nervous and it was impossible for her to sleep now.
Having said that, Xu Manman's breathing gradually became regular under Xiao Jin's gentle manipulation.
It was not until her cousin knocked on the door that she realized she had fallen asleep. Fortunately, Xiao Jin was considerate and had changed her clothes in advance. Xu Manman wiped her face with the towel handed to her by Xiao Jin to wake herself up, then got up and returned to her room in the guesthouse. To outsiders, this series of actions only took a moment.
"I'm coming." Xu Manman opened the door, and outside was Chen Ming, who was dressed neatly.
"Manman, let's go for a walk on the street and find a place to eat." When they arrived, it was mid-afternoon. After washing up, it was not yet 3 o'clock. It was still early for dinner, but it would be quick if they walked on the street to kill time.
"Okay, let me carry the bag."
Xu Manman turned around, took a briefcase containing her personal belongings and put it on her back, then used the key to lock the door of the room.
The last time they came here, they drank in the lobby and walked around. Time was tight, so they didn't walk very far. This time, they studied the bus stop and wanted to go see the famous winter swimming pavilion.
But the bus route didn't tell them how to get there. They just went there on a whim and didn't do any research in advance, so they were a little confused for a moment.
Xu Manman actually saw on the map that it wasn't far away, so she took notice. She pulled over a woman waiting for the bus and asked her a few questions. Then she turned back to Chen Ming and said, "They say it's not far from here, but it's only less than four miles away. You have to go around a bit by taking the bus, so it's actually faster to walk there."
As a young person, walking a few more steps is no big deal, you can also go shopping along the way.
Walking on the streets of Ning City, Chen Ming was a little surprised, "In this season, there are still green trees on both sides of the road. It seems to be no different from the spring in Hai City." He had never been here in winter in previous years, so he naturally had never seen such a scene.
"The temperature here is high all year round. Of the 365 days a year, 300 of them are in summer. The climate is naturally different from that in the north.
"And look at those trees, they're not just greenery. I heard that most of the trees planted here in Ning City are fruit trees. "Big cousin, look at that one in front, it looks like a mango tree." Xu Manman pointed to the big tree by the roadside and said to Chen Ming.
"There are quite a few people coming here. When the fruits are ripe in summer, you don't have to spend money to eat the fruits. You can pick them by just standing on tiptoe." Chen Ming said with a little envy.
Because the transportation of fresh food is not yet mature, even in Haishi, the most common fruits eaten throughout the year are apples and pears. In summer, there are more bananas and watermelons, and in winter, there are more oranges and grapefruits, and occasionally apricots, plums, peaches, etc.
However, tropical fruits such as mangoes, lychees, and longans that are difficult to transport can only be eaten freely in the local area. Even if you buy them elsewhere, the price is not only expensive, but they may also be overripe and not fresh.
