Time flies, and it's Friday in the blink of an eye.
The class activity was also confirmed: climbing the Great Wall. We gathered at the east gate of the school at 7:30 in the morning and took the bus to Badaling together.
Although it was already September, the daytime temperature was still quite high. Yun Mo couldn't understand why the squad leader would decide on such a tiring project as climbing the Great Wall.
But since no one had any objections, she could only go with the flow.
However, after school she found the class monitor and suggested going directly to Badaling to meet up with everyone the next morning.
It takes more than two hours to get to Badaling, which is dozens of kilometers away, by car. With so many people crammed into one car and the weather being so hot, it’s painful just to think about it.
Yun Mo used the excuse that her relative had a car and was going to Badaling to do some work tomorrow, so she could take a ride.
The class monitor was a very easy-going girl and she agreed to her request.
"Shao Mo!"
After leaving the teaching building, Yun Mo just pushed her bicycle and was about to ride home when someone suddenly called her from behind.
She turned around and recognized a girl in the same class named Shi Xiaowen.
Shi Xiaowen ran up to her and said expectantly, "Can I take a ride with your relative tomorrow? I just heard what you said to the squad leader. I have had motion sickness since I was a child. It takes two or three hours to go to Badaling by car. I will definitely get motion sickness. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you."
"I can pay for the bus fare. The bus fare is two dollars. Can I pay you three dollars? I know you are not short of money, but my living expenses are limited. I can only take out this much."
Hearing the other party speak so sincerely, Yun Mo couldn't help but soften her heart.
"Forget about the money. We are all classmates. Please wait for me at the East School Gate at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you so much!"
"It's okay. See you tomorrow."
Yun Mo originally planned to have the driver drive over to pick her up to Badaling tomorrow, but now that Shi Xiaosi was there, she didn't want to reveal her identity and family background for the time being, so she simply called Wen Qingsheng and wanted to exchange the car with him for a day.
Wen Qingsheng drives a Xiali car, which is much more low-key and simple compared to her Audi 100.
After talking to Wen Qingsheng, Yun Mo put down the phone, looked up and saw Ling Chuan standing in front of the sink washing clothes, and an idea flashed through her mind.
"Would you like to hang out with me tomorrow?"
Ling Chuan washed her white shirt.
There is a washing machine at home, but the fabric of her clothes is thin and soft, which can easily damage and deform them in a washing machine, and it also cannot be washed clean.
Hearing her question, Ling Chuan stopped what he was doing and asked, "Can I go to your class activities?"
"Just follow me. There are so many people climbing the Great Wall. Who would know who you are? Even if they know, it doesn't matter. I'll show you my face so you don't have to think about it all day at home."
"I'll go."
Seeing the unconcealed joy in the man's eyes and brows, Yun Mo's mood also improved a lot.
"Hurry up and wash your clothes. We'll go out and buy shoes later."
"good."
Zeng Fang just came out of the room, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she immediately ran over.
"Momo, you guys are going out shopping, I want to go too!"
"Sure, change your clothes first."
"I'll go right away!"
Yao Suhua was bored at home alone, so she changed her clothes and went shopping with the three of them.
Compared with Jiang City, the night in Beijing is like a gorgeous city that never sleeps, with brightly lit streets and dazzling neon lights in commercial buildings. Being there feels like walking on the Milky Way, making people forget all the troubles of the world.
Originally Yun Mo came out to buy hiking shoes, but Yao Suhua bought more than her.
Clothes, shoes, bags, and various specialties were bought until the four of them could no longer carry all the clothes.
"Mom, are you rich? Why are you buying so many things?"
Yao Suhua glanced at her daughter in a reproachful manner and said, "These are not enough. You have to buy more tomorrow. I plan to go back next week."
“So soon?”
"What's so fast about that? I've been in Beijing for half a month. Your dad calls me every day to urge me to go to school. You've also started school. I'm relieved that Momo and Xiaoling are taking care of you. Why don't you go back and stay here to wait for the New Year?"
Zeng Fang had things in both hands and could only rub her head against her mother's shoulder.
"I can't bear to leave you."
Looking at her daughter's face, Yao Suhua showed some kindness and tenderness, "You can come home after the winter vacation. It's only a few months away."
"Okay, then what day are you leaving next week? Have you bought the ticket? I'll see you off then."
"You have classes next Wednesday, so you don't have to send me. I have a friend who can drive me to the station."
"Okay then, we'll leave next Wednesday. It's only a few days away. Mom, I'll go out with you to buy it tomorrow."

Looking at her daughter who was leaning on her shoulder and acting coquettishly, Yao Suhua had a smile on her face and her eyes were particularly gentle.
"Brother Zhen, what are you looking at? You're so absorbed in it that you don't even respond to me when I call you."
Shen Zhen withdrew his gaze from the window, put out the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, pinched the neck of the follower who was looking at the street outside the window, and turned the man's head in another direction.
"What are you looking at? Go play ball."
"Brother Zhen, we have played several games. It would be boring for us to play if you don't play."
Shen Zhen glanced at the other person with a fake smile, "Are you in a hurry to owe me?"
The man smiled obscenely, "Yes, Brother Zhen, Zhou Cheng was very lucky tonight. He won several games in a row. You had to step up to defeat him."
Shen Zhen sneered, "Give me my club."
"Okay."
His followers hurriedly ran to get his exclusive golf clubs, but Shen Zhen couldn't help but look back out the window. There were people coming and going on the street, but there was no one he wanted to see.
Early the next morning, driver Tian Yuan drove Wen Qingsheng's Xiali car to the gate of the courtyard.
Yun Mo was still having breakfast, so she asked Ling Chuan to invite Tian Yuan to sit in the courtyard.
"Uncle Tian, have you had breakfast?"
"Thank you for your concern, Miss. I ate before leaving."
Hearing this, Yun Mo asked the other party to go into the kitchen to get some water, while she and Ling Chuan continued to eat breakfast.
Yao Suhua had made an appointment with friends for morning tea early in the morning, but now they had already left and Zeng Fang was still sleeping in.
After dinner, Ling Chuan cleaned up the dishes, and Yun Mo told Shi Xiaowen that she would go to the gate of Peking University to pick her up.
"Uncle Tian, I don't want my classmates to know my identity for the time being, so I'll trouble you to cooperate with me in a play. You can pretend to be my uncle and I am your niece."
"No problem, miss."
"When I'm in front of my classmates, just call me Xiaomo."
"Yes, Miss."
At around 8 o'clock, Tian Yuan drove to the east gate of Peking University to pick up Shi Xiaowen, and the three of them set off for Badaling.
In the car, after learning that Tian Yuan was Yun Mo's uncle, Shi Xiaowen immediately thanked him sweetly, "Uncle Tian, thank you, I'm sorry for the trouble."
Tian Yuan smiled and said, "You're welcome. You're the elder and Xiaomo's classmate. It's nothing for classmates to help each other."
"Uncle Tian, you are just like Shao Mo, a kind-hearted person."
